Women predominated in the crowd

p Chief Actors Arrive Last.
AS II conscious that today's was
more of ''show" than a grave, his.

took their time in appearing. Not
until the hands OF the big clock fa,

Not so the spectators. The limited
space was beginning to fill at 10 a. m,
and outside there was jammed a grea.
crowd to see the big ones enter.

Land armament is now under con-

there was a general craning OF necks
in Brands direction.
80 far as the army of the United
States is concerned. there Is no ques-

been the policy of the United States
to have the smallest army possible" ;"
During the war, he said, the United

DO YOU KNOW

Rubber of good quality can be ob- talned from several species of plant growing wild in the United States One of these. commonly called rabbit bush, is large shrub growing abund- antly over the mi-desert areas of Colorado, Nevada and Utah. The pres ent stand of this plant would yield about 300, 100000 pounds of good rub Der.
 The study of meteorites is a science without a name-at least in English. proposed name for this science is "meteorltics."
 The classification of clouds now generally used by meteorologistos was introduced in it's principal fea- lures by Luke Howard, an English Quaker. A German poem about How ards achievement was written by Goethe, who also wrote a separate poem about each type of cloud includ- ed in the classification.
 The worlds biggest rain gauge has recently been installed on the sum init of Mt. Vaialcale, in the Hawaiian Island. The rainfall at this place is greater than at any other spot on the globe, so far as known; moreover, the mountain is so difficult of access that the water collected by the gauge is measured only once year. Hence it's exceptional dimensions.

WHITE WANTS sTENoGRAPHER

From the Emporia Gazette.
 The Gazette desires a stenographer to replace capable young woman who is quitting this job for a bet ter one. The steno's work will be to take by telephone the Associated Press report daily--about three hours work all told: then to take the boss's letters, sometimes from the dictaphone. often. through straight dictation.
 But we don't want no gum chewer. And .no earless wonder need apply. But any girl who will admit that she is 25 and looks 30 and isn't afraid Of 40. who wants steady job and can work in an office with 15 men with out nonsense. who will take one Ia st long lingering look at her hand mir TOT as she punches the time clock In the morning and another as she checks out, who can spell common words and doesn't regard the dic- tionary as poison. who knows about apostrophe ''s'' without having to blink and guess at 1t, who keeps her hair combed and her petticoat from showing withou; devoting too much time to herself, and who can laugh easily and then doesn't. may find a fairly good job at reasonable wages. Apply in person. Do not write or phone.
 The high standard set by the pres ent incumbent probably is responsi- ble for the difficult nature of the above specifications.

BuyS Fine Cattle

"T went down to Fies' stable Satur day afternoon to see the 50 or more pure bred short horns which Frank Derby bought at the great Columbia sale" says Capt. Jack Phillips. T was quite anxious to attend it, and was In Nashville the day before buy ing slaughter cattle, and some of my stock yard friends invited me to drive through the country with them, but business called me home.
 T was therefore mighty glad to get chance to see the pick of the bunch brought to Alabama. Frank Derby deaerves much credit for buying them and taking a chance on selling them under present conditions. In my opin- ion now is the time for those who really know the cattle game to add to their stocks. l hope not one of the 50 will get out of the state, for they are needed here"

Mysteries of the Sea
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 The story of missing American ships, with hints of piracy. including seizure and spiriting away for Nthe l benefit of soviet Russia, may be thought a strain on credulity. MT Balfour said the other day that sometimes it seemed to him that nothing very remarkable had occurred in his lifetime before 1914 Dull and prosaic were the days when Bright and Gladstone and Sal isbury, and even the theatrical Dis raeli, strutted upon the stage-dull and prosaic compared with the period of 1914-1921. What Is to be expected when law is flouted and violence rampant but flaring up of piracy. After alr great wars there has been a recrudescence of it. Black Sea adventurers, disguised as passengers or sailors, raided the French packet Souirah near Batum a year ago, held up" and robbed the Ps'SSchS ol D. anu lHeH ioWSu dsHote with their plunder. Since the armi- stice there have been well authenti- cated tales of piracy in the Adriatic and on the Yangtse.
 So it will not do to dismiss the mystery of the five-masted Portland schooner Carol Deering, out of Rio a ( ap do f.i ipt Who has been able to account for the full sailed Marie Celeste, with every thing in place and not a soul aboard, tranquilly moving over the face of the ocean?
 That mystery confounded even the writers of sea stories. The Carol Deering, found stranded off Diamond shoals, and all her sails set, every thing was shipshape, a meal on the captains table, but her small boats were gone. A bottle picked up on the sand contained the amazing message: An burning tanker, or submarine, has boarded us and placed our crew in irons" Who could these pirates have been?
 The steel steamer Hewitt, also of Portland. with a cargo of sulphur and bound home from Sabine, Tex, has disappeared. In this case, the department of commerce is said to have a theory that she was seized by soviet crew and sailed away to a Russian port. Sulphur may be need ed for fumigation in Lenin's realm but a floating department store would be in greater demand. Two other unnamed American vessels are also unaccounted for--enough mys- tery for one day. It would be drab explanation that the Hewitt and the two unknowns have been taken by Father Neptune

Madison County, Where
 the Crops Never Fail

N0TITH handsome frontispiece
 WV showing Huntsville on the motor route to Florida and an in side cover map indicating it's cen tral position with reference to the productivity of the south, the Chamber of Commerce of Hunts vile, Queen City of the Tennessee Valley" has issued profusely il- lustrated booklet, brimful of data concerning that city and the fertile valley in which it rests.
 Madison leads all other Alabama counties in it's agricultural produc- ton, the total value of farm crops and live stock produced and sold last year having been $15,263 ,000, while the total value of all prod ucts sold (including the production of it's mammoth cotton mills) was s31, 1,502,OOO.
 It is truthfully observed in this booklet that Madison county never has crop failure. Whether it is due to the soil and climate, or to superior farm cultivation, or to both, this statement has been proved year in and out. Even the boil weevil seems to have passed by Madison. It raises the most cot ton, but it also raises most of every thing else.
 Huntsville has an elevation of 650 feet above sea level and hard by is Monte Sano, 2,000 feet higher, a superb summer resort. Huntsville's water is famed for its purity and it's abundant flow. Muscle Shoals with it's dormant capacity of ESQ., 900 horsepower of hydraulic fluid is destined to serve it in the future.
 The old capital of Alabama teens with history and tradition, but it also teens with what is modern and progressive.

 T have just come from that section. where I visited boyhood scenes. There are two breweries In the town that make real beer, as well as the half of 1-per cent kind. In the town there are open bars, where the miners get real liquor and wash it down with real beer.

 Some practical business men in the Birmingham district have advised the writer that perhaps it is not wise to take the public into one's conff- dencs~in an enterprise of this msgni- tude.
 Rather than to go about it in a pussyfooting manner, the writer and his associates believe that this is a matter in which the public will be expremely interested from an invest ment point of view, and that all readers of The Age-Herald who de- sire to participate should be invited whsn the actual organization is be- gun. Certainly the writer would not arrange for aa investment on the part of himself and associates of some s2co,O0o unless he was perfect fly confident that the investment would be wiso and profitable one.
 The only question now is de- tailed report on the quantity of available wood, and if the right can be obtained for a sufficient quanti- ty to last the mill for more than 50 years.
 The owners of the land on which this wood grows have thus far been unanimous in rendering same at reasonable stumpage rrice.
 That the investing public will be glad to participate in such an en- terprise was clearly proven when Lord Northcliffe of the London Daily Mail, and at present likewise the owner of the London Times, built mills in Newfoundland. These mills were built by the Dali Mail before Northc1iffe acquired the London Times

Prosperity Returning

Business seems to have passed the crisis in Augusta and depression is being pushed rapidly into the back" ground" declared Russell A. Single ton, business man of that Georgia city who was in Birmingham yester- day.
 Nine cotton mills are running full time, making sheeting as their chief product. Real estate men are un- usually active, with building boom practically on. Bon Air, the famo IS resort hotel, may be restored in the coming year. Augusta is thriving as few cities in Georgia are.
 There certainly seems to be ari- ar of prosperity about Birmingham, notwithstanding all the adverse re- ports about the rest of thefcountry. The building record here, so far, in 1921, is nothing short of wonderful
