THE YOUNG PERSON.

Synopsis-Jane Harding, respect
able and conservative old maid
but never too old to think of mar
riage with more money than
brains, is inveigled by strong
minded spinster, Miss Higglesby-
Browne, into financing an expedi-
ton to hunt for buried treasure on
LeewaSd island. Her niece, Vir-
ginia Harding, undertaking to stop
her, gets on the vessel and is UNI
willingly carried along. BY no
means concealing her distaste for
the expedition and her contempt
for it's members, Virginia makes
the acquaintance of the Honorable
Cuthbert Vane. Talking with
Dugald Shaw, leader of the expedi-
ton, Virginia very frankly ex-
presses her views, practically ac-
cusing Shaw and the other MEM
bers of the party, including a
somewhat uncertain parsonage
Captain Magnus, and shady
"financier," Hamilton H. Tubbs, of
being in a conspiracy to defraud
Jane Harding. Landing on the
island is a matter of some difficult
ty, Virginia being carried ashore
In the arms of Cuthbert Vane. The
party gets settled.

ASSESSMENT FIGHT
 ON PAVING ID COME . BEFORE CITY BOARD
Property Owners on Eleventh Avenue, North, to Enter
 Protest Against Costs

Protests against assessments on paving on Eleventh avenue, north, between Fifteenth and Twenty sixth streets. will be heard by the city commission sitting in committee of the whole this morning at 10 o'clock, meeting in the council cham Der.
 Quite formidable array of legal talent will support contehtions of clients that the proposed assessments are too high. Among attorneys who appeared at the commission meeting last Tuesday. when it was decided to hold a special hearing to consider these complaints, were Davi1 J. Da- wis, Arlie Barber and w. NJ Woodail Ed $. Allen was present to defend the position of E. M. Tutwiler, a cli- ent of the Motion Realty company.
 Property owners to the number of nearly 100 appeared to oppose paying assessments as outlined by the city. Much talk of action to avoid pay ment of any such amount as proposed by the city was voiced.
 AZ .he meeting last Tuesday, Com missioner II. ?. Burruss declared that he desired to dispell any Illusions as to rebates as were allowed on the Avenue r paving. This would not be done with his consent, he said, and he declared that he did not believe any other commissioner wished to follow out this plan.
 pr. N. A. Barrett declared that all complaints would be entered after actual figures were learned oy the protesting property owners Bills for the work were mailed last Thufs day. Under the law, citizens may pay for work in 10 annual install- ments,
 Members of the commission prom ised at the meeting last Tuesday aft erncon to inspect the property de- ba;ed Careful consideration will be given to the approximate enhance ment of property values, since the paving has been laid. One man at the Tuesday meeting declared that the paving had caused his rents to decrease, and several of his tenants to move.
 When the paving on Eleventh ave- nue, north was decided upon several month. ago a delegation of property owners appeared and protested against the work being done at shat time.

the favorite, and somewhat to the surprise of the crowd Frank picked Willard as the winner. Sol jumred on him like the prov srbial jay hird on the june bug, and bid FrarS to reduce his pre- dicton to writing. The result is ancient history.
 On the day following Willard's defeat Sol gathered his cohorts together, showed them the pre- dIction that Frank had written, and proceeded to frame up to give Frank the raging" of his young life at the usual lunch- con. The others gleefuliy as- sented. They planned to liter- ally take the hide off.
 In the meantime, Frank looked up well known sportsman, ex plained to him the situation, gave him $500 with instructions to follow nim into the dining room ana. iust as he sat down to come up, count out the $500 on the table and congratulate him on the foresight and good judg mcnt in backing Dempsey.
 The plot thickened. Sol and his -conspirators gathered around the table early. He instructed them not to say a word until Frank was seated, then he was to produce the document and the fur was to begin to fly. In walked Frank with as solemn a look as though he had received an appointment on the supreme bench
 He sat down. The others were grimly silent Just as Sol was reaching for his notes, in walked the sportsman, extended his hand to Frank. congratulated him on backing the winner. and proceeded slowly to count out the $500 to which proceeding Sol was most interested specta- tor.
 For once in his life Sol was fairly struck dumb. Could an artist have depicted the expres- sion on his face at that time he would have made himself fa- nous. He murmured. Well, I'll be damned" The others grinned sheepishly.
 Al this juncture Frank let out a roar of laughter that was worth a s bill to hear. He did soma raSging himself with Sol as the chiefNobject of his comments. Finally he "let the cat out of the bag" and Sol joined heartily in the general laugh that followed.

FUNDS ARE NEEDED
 ID CARRY ON WORK AMONG TIE NEEDY
Relief Committee Is lnveSti- gating All Cases of Dis tresS-R. A. Porter to
 Handle Supplies

The campaign of the emergency relief committee to raise the money needed to care for the unemployed who are without food or the means to provide sustenance will continue with renewed energy beginning this morning. More funds are needed to meet the situation.
 Due to the fact that several of the clubs and other organizations which are conducting the canvass in va rious parts of the city had not held meetings after their territory was allotted to them. many of the teams did not begin their work during the past week. However, reports re- ceived Saturday afternoon at the of- flee of the vice chairman. Jay Smith, indicated that all workers would take the field today, and it was stated that each team would continue until the territory allotted had been canvassed.
 The work was organized at Ensley Friday night, with Sam c. King as chairman and a number of the most prominent men and women of that section of the city Tn charge of the teams, indications are that the western part of Birmingham will come up with it's full share in the emergency.
 Handling Relief
 The committee has finally worked out the details of handling ;he re- lief work, and R. A. Porter is in charge of this phase of the situation He will purchase, store and superin- tend the distribution of all supplies, and will have the active co operation of the Red Cross, the city welfare de- partment, the Salvation Army and all the other relief agencies in the city
 The committee is making a care ful investigation of all cases before giving anything more than cnfer- gcncy relief. Much work is also be- ing done to arrange such matters as past due house rent, installments on furniture. payments on homes pur- chased and similar obligations of people without worH. It is declared that in most cases these matters can be arranged without paying out any money provided the party in debt has a good reputation as reliable and stsady workman.
 (aScs
 The committee IS watching with the utmost care all expenditures of money and every possible safeguard is being used to see that none goes to these who are not deserving. Of course, where an emergency case is reported temporary relief is granted in the way of food until the Red Cross, city welfare department or other agencies assisting in this work are able to make an investigation.
 The committee had already sue ceeded in getting jobs for number of men who had been without work for some time and who had no money and no food These men were given work as lanorers for enough money to buy food for their families and all accepted them readily. Assistance is not being given where the unemployed do not ex- press willingness to work at any job which. offers sufficient pay to provide food. Where even small job can be secured. these are ae- cepted and the committee then pro- vIdes enough additional support in the way of food to care for the needs of the family,
