Automobile etiquette is largely a
matter of avoiding discomfort. Ordin-
arily it is proper for a man to assist a
lady into a car and get in himself
afterwards, but when the only way to
get into the drivers seat is to Chamber

would be more considerate for the
driver to get in first himself and per-

The purpose of the study IS to Sc

drying on wood when used as a col

preparat on of lumber grading rules
and establishing of safe working
stresses. Foresters believe that the
tests will show that it is practicable
to use smaller columns, or lower grade

 Club Appears in
 Splendid Concert

Montevallo, April 5.-(Special. .)- The presentation of "Gallia" by Gou- nod at the recital by the Glee club of Alabama Technical Institute and Col lege for Women Saturday night, April 1, in the college auditorium, constituted real triumph inasmuch as at the beginning of the school year the club was made up of un- trained voices. The work of the glee club under the able direction of Mrs. Lucia Gibson Joiner and the credit able performance of the solists showed the success of Mrs. Joiner as voice teacher and director in this. her first year al the college. The glee club is composed of A voices.
 'Gallia' formed part two of the evening prograR.. The excellent ac- companying of Miss Nell Murphree, piano teacher, and of Miss Ruth Stan ton, violin teacher. and mem bers of her violin ensemble class, enhanced the beauty of the four voice parts in the solemn "Gallia, while Miss Gladys keteham Ozark, soprano. and Miss Myrtle Sybil Painter. Birmingham. fnezzo soprano. were the seloists
 The two numbers in the opening group by the glee club, The Night ingale,s Song" Nevin, and "one Morning, Oh, So Early" Hawley, were sung from memory. Miss Ketcham' S singing of "One Fine Day" from Madam Butterfly" by Puccini, ful- filled the expectations aroused by her singing in her senior recital, March 30. She responded to the encore with "Vtllanelle'' by Del-Aqua. She is the only graduate in voice this year.

 or Theo. I was brought abruptly back
 to earth by a great disturbance ana
 a scrambling of feet. Suddenly some one rushed past me.
 I turned my head toward the door. With a crack and bang it slid back
 and through the opening I caught a
 glimpse of Maud Samson wringing her hands in the sunlight. With a profane exclamation Tn started after her and the lights were l turned on.
 I turned in astonishment and i'm quiry to the director. He was look ing at the cameraman as though say ing: What shall we do now?" The
 cameraman, comprehending the look,
 remarked: Samson is beginning her

 this picture" And he calmly rolled cigarette and, lighting 1t, settled himself as though to wait the out

 couldn't sit still. l felt I must get out into the air. 1 didn't care anything more about the rushes. I
 had seen too much of myself on the
 screen already for one day and it
 made me feel that I never would be a good movie actress. I determined to go to my dressing room, take off my makeup and go home. Surely Kitty would give me some expiana-
 tion of the peculiar actions of both Miss Samson and Theo.
 But I did not need to wait for Kit tvs explanation. When I entered my own room I heard Maud Sanson's furious anger.
 I did not mean to eavesdrop but I
 could not help hearing-both her rasping tones and Theo's voice which, apparently, exasperated her the moro
 by its caimness.
 i've stood everything from you, Theodore Stratton, but this last n- suit will not stand. Oh, have
 known for a long time that you were
 tired of me but I did not think that you would tell the public of the fact
 so cruelty as you have today. My heavens. I know I'm getting old-but so are you. You are older than land yet, in your snug ego
 tism. you think you can make love to that chit of child, mere infant whom you have flattered into think ing that you are the God of the Ma
 chine who will regulate her life. Faugh.
 I'm not going to live. I will not live, I have always said that when the screen showed age upon my ia ce, life would have lost it's lure. And today the time has come. But. Theo- dore, I thought I could detect a note of tenderness and appeal in her voice "I had never dreamed that the man have loved all these years would be the one to tell me-
 Breathless, spent with anger, she paused. Theodore began placatingly: Maud, dear, you know you are not speaking the truth. You know that l if I thought you were too old for the screen l would not let you play with me-
 There was deep silence-too tense for words. I could not see them but knowing both I could imagine the imperious gesture with which she ar rested his words. Abruptly. in hoarse tones Maud Samson resumed: "Of course, you wou dn't-except as a contrast to your latest love-" I felt stinging blow upon my

Gadsden. April IA number of Gadsdens prominent la d'es representing the various ciivc bodies of the city, appeared before the city council last night and asked the city officials to purchase a plot of land for playground for the children and called the attention of the officials to the fact that other towns much smaller than Gadsden have municipal play grounds. Mrs. Malcolm Morgan told the councilman that if the city would purchase the ground that the women of the va rious orders in the city would pur- chase the equipment and look after the grounds. The ladies were told that the city had several locations in mind and would take action on the matter at an early date.
