ELEPHANT HERDS
 BIG FEATURE OF
 ROBINSON CIRCUS


 You can always size up circus by it's bulls" says the old circus man-"bulls," by the way, being the improved circus vernacular for ele- plants.
 While this is not an infallible rule, the elephant is an important factor In the modern tent show, just as he contributed in no small degree to the pageantry of old Rome and the cir GUS spectac1es of ancient Greece.
 The John Robinson circus, which is to display it's wonders in this city Saturday, September r., announces that it makes speciality of it's trained elephants. And according to all accounts, it's big pachyderms are as multitudinous as they are edu- catedly clever. They play an impor- tant and hopular role in the street parade that ushers in circus day.
 A novel angle In the John Rob inson elephants offering is the fact that the three herds are directed by as many clever girls--fearless and agile young women, whe are said to display an aptness in handling their big charges that mere men rarely acouire

LOCAL WEATHER REPORT

Birmingham weather is to be re. ported daily in numbers of northern newspapers not heretofore having this city on the daily reports fur nished by the weather bureau
 The new arrangement has been eff fected by Charles F. Yarn, assistant secretary of the Chamber of Com merce, who took the matter up with c. F. Marvin, chief of the wea ther bureau in Washington.
 MT. Yarn, who handles the cham Der correspondence with northern and eastern people thinking of locat- ing in Birmingham, says many have the most erroneous conception or Birmingham climatic conditions and hence he felt that the publication of it's daily temperature, rainfall and the like in the four seasons would tend to disabuse their minds of error and enable them to realize this dis trict's real climate.
 The cities in which the Chamber of Commerce has been successful in having the weather published daily are Chicago, St. Louis, Springfield, H., Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Ev- ansville, Ind, Cincinnati, Dayton, Co., lumbus, Pittsburg and Washington.

Petition for writ of prohibition seeking to prevent the juvenile court from deciding a question as to the custody of his two minor children was filed in the chancery division of the circuit court yesterday by John A. Pruitt, a local credit manager. This Is an attack on the constitu- tionality of the law giving the Ju- venile court Jurisdiction over ques- tions involving the custody of minor children where the parents are sepa- rated.
 The petition attacks the constit3- tionality of the law as required by the Alabama constitution, and on the further ground that the law is an attempt to deprive the circuit court of it's Jurisdiction over such cases.
 A writ of certiorari commanding the juvenile court to turn over all papers in the case to the circuit court is asked in the petition, which also requests writ to prevent the juvenile court from taking any fur. ther action in the case.

It is alleged the petitioner filed habeas corpus pe- tition for his children and was
