JAZZ MUSIC TABOO AT EDGE WOOD PARK
Deluxe Orchestra of Local Musicians to Render
 "JazzIess" Melodies

The question as to whether the dance devotees of Birmingham are more fond of jazz music than of the dance melodies without the weird noises, will be decided at Edgewood park this week with dances Tues day and Thursday nights. The Deluxe orchestra made up of some of the best musicians In Birmingham, has been engaged for the two nights and the announcement given out that no jazz music will be offered for these two nights.
 There will be plenty of pep and melody, to be sure. but the weird jazz features will be left out and the num- bers will be played just as they were written by the composers. This is being done as a test to see whether the people of Birmingham are we'd ded to jazz, or whether they would lick bit of the old time music. Fox trots, onesteps and waltzes will be played alternately, and while up-to- date numbers will be played and plen- ty of pep put into each number the jazz novelties will be left out.
 Because of the importance of the question, and because it's new de- parture in dancing circles, and also because Mountain View Inn boasts one of the best dance floors to be found anywhere, the management is looking for two capacity houses on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

The sixtieth anniversary of the bat tic between the Monitor and the Mer- rimac which will be celebrated on March 9 of this year. arouses a na- tural interest in the life of John Ericsson-the inventor of the Moni- tor. In an article in the Forum which gives the interesting and dramatic biographical facts of his life, Gunnar Wickman relates:
 Both Ericsson and Ogden saw visions of great advance in naval architecture, especially in the design for the navy vessels in which the location of the propeller would per- init the placing of the machinery be- low the water line safe from cannon shot. Ericsson invited the lords of the admiralty and a number of other men of naval and scientific dlstinc- tion to inspect his tug-boat. He took them up the river steering by the river vessels, and passing under the Southwark and London bridges, re- turned to the starting point.
 ''He had placed on the center table in the cabin the plans of the vessel and It's machinery for the inspection of the guests, but to his surprise none oi the pdTty seemed 10 take the slightest interest in the demonstra- tion or to give more than perfunctory attention to his plans or his descrip- ton of them. They thanked him for the trouble he had taken to show them his interesting experiments, but with q shrug of the shoulders they intimated that he was wasting his time and money. for if was impos- sible for his boat to steer as the power was in the sternl''

MYSTERIOUS EVA
 FAY AT THE LYRIC
Well Balanced Bill of Keith Vaudeville Promises Good
 Entertainment

Eva Fay requires no introduction to the theatre going public of any city, much less to Birmingham, where she has played often in the past. This child of the mystic orient, who is billed to appear at the Lyric for the first half of the coming week, Is an attraction de luxe, and the house is expecting an unusual patronage. Seated on raised dias. placed in the center of the stage, she has astounded audiences over two continents by her mastery of the occult mysteries of the east.
 In '9vodvil \ la Mode" lovers of the theatre are promised still an other act of unusual quality. Agnes Finley and Charles Hill, who present the act have been ranked by critics as being two of the cleverest fun makers on the boards. There is a sur- prise in their act that Is unique.
 Bob Knapp and Chris Cornalla, fresh from a two-year tour of the European continent, are also on the bill for the coming week. Their act, which is billed "A Potpourri of Vaude- vile" is similar to any other on the vaudeville stage in name only. These two boys are of the belief that they have a mission to fulfill. That of amusing the American public.
 Al Le Vine, Vera Audry, and Al Dorf, will contribute a lively fifteen minutes to the bill with song. dance, and clever impersonations. Le Vine is rated as theatrical Jack of All Trades" and as the act Is of his ori- gin, it should go over well. Larson and Noble, gymnasts, will close the bill. Their routine Is clean cut, and snappily executed. Pathe News and an Aesop's Fable with a vital moral message, are the screen attractions.

Sunday Morning Breakfast

 That's the real answer to Why is a eaSie?' They are simply one of the modern conveniences which tend to make dancing more enjoyable and they are never in the way for they are shy and timid things and shrink away from real man like coun- try hound cringing before a bull pup.
 T never knew a girl to marry one but once, and she did it to get square with her sweetheart for taking a chorus girl out in his car At that it only cost a couple of hundred to send him to Reno and get rid of him.
 Tea dansants and soda fountains, haberdasher and ready -towear cloth ing stores would languish and die without the cakie and so would mar ried women and widows, for a cakie will dance when a husband is work ing and a widow can play with one without in any way disturbing her attitude of adoration to her dead hus- band.
 "Of course, once in while hus- band or a sweetheart steps on one and gets mad because he is underfoot. but as a rule they are no trouble at all.
 Anyway" said her brother Fred, 'I wish you would let them alone and run around with real-he-men. If ever see you with that one you had at the country club last night will ."
 "Oh, that reminds me" interrupted the flapper of you go out to the club and see him today, Fred, l wish you would give him his car fare back to town. 'Pon my word, forgot all about him and came In with Tin Hawkins in his roadster. Tip had been a bit peeved with me for a while and when he saw me with that cakie Dick, last night, he got real masterful and made me go home Tn his car with him and l guess Dickie IS out there yet wondering what became of me-

 Whats all this?" demanded the father of the family. "What is a cakie anyhow"
 '.cakie is an abbreviation of cake eater" explained the daugh- ter. and cake eater Is the masculine of 'flapper'."
 Am I to understand that you went to the dance at the Country club last night with man whose name you do not know?" said her father.
 "Uhhuh," answered the riapper, her nose buried in her coffee cup.
 Well. want to declare myself right now, young lady, that this has to stop. I will not have you pick ing up men. :"

 All these things are mere adtuncts to a dance and 'cakie' is another one.
 "Cakies are not endowed with any human instincts at all. They do not marry or give in marriage. They do not die. Like Mir. Tennyson's cele- brated Brook they just dance on for ever. Cakies never make love or get desperate.
 What cambric-tea is to shot of yearlins rye, cakie is to a real honest to goodness man.
 "Tho widest dissipation of cakie is to smoke three cigarettes in the same evening.
 "A cakie is like the lilies of tho field, they toll not neither do they spin, but Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
 "They wear pinch-back coats and sliclxed back hair. The top of their heads looks like a trained seal which has just emerged from the tank and is Hopping his way to the blue box to do his turn. The cakie has the same seal-like expression and stupidity and confidence which you see in the seal.
 "Cakies never have money and If you have no car of your own and so to dance with a cakie you have to ride on the street car.

 'Yes, dear, I know" interrupted her daughter, fin your day girls danced with each other, now they dance with the cakies.

 But Margaret Matzenauer is not only a soprano, but a contralto. Her voice Is phenomenal, its range and compass unique in the musical world. At one performance she can sing Isolde-a dramatic soprano role-in a way that is reminiscent of Nordica in her prime-at another she can give us a Delilah of which H. E.

MAP SHOWS ROUTE

New Railway, Crossing Big

Shorten Shipping Distance

Harlem, Dec. 1S.-No little excite
ment has been created here and at
Turner by the arrival of a large blue
print map showing the proposed route
of the Gulf. Lake Superior and Pacific
railroads. which extends from Sweet
grass to Baton Rouge, La. the survey
crossing the Big Flat country not far
from Turner.
Data upon which the map is based
was obtained last year by John NJ.
Wiley, chief engineer for the Henri
spheres Engineering company of Los
Angeles. The map of the proposed
route was obtained through w. ri.
Reed but outside of this evidence of
contemplated construction, no informa-
ton has been received to indicate when
the plans will be carried out.
The proposed route which shortens
the grain haul from the center of the
northwestern grain belt to the New
York water front by 700 miles, extends
from Sweetgrass on q parallel with the
Great Northern. reaches into North
Dakota as far as Ray where It crosses
tbe Great Northern and thence in a
southerly direction as far as Bone
steel. S. u. Entire new construction
is necessary from Sweetgrass and
Bonesteel, the Chicago and North
western, the Missouri Pacific and
Southern Pacific roads connecting that
point with the Gulf.
Interest in the new road is very
apparent because of the fact chat its
construction would not only benefit
farmers in the shipment of beef and
grain, but will otherwise put in the
northwest in better rail communication
because of the fact that it will cross
&C lines running east and west.

Gives $40 Donation
to Salvation Army

Lewistown, Dec. 18.-An official of
the local Ku Klux Khan Sunday even
ing presented Capt. Edwin Thorough
man of the Salvation army, on the
street, with an envelope containing
$40 and a letter, under seal of the
khan, stating that it was a donation.
The klansman was moi masked but
asked the captain to consider his iden-
THY confidential.
Later in the evening the captain
read the letter at the regular army
service and E. o. Petty arose, asked
to speak, making a rather extended
address, stating that from his knowl-
edge of the khan it was a loyal and
most worthy organization. Some few
members failed. perhaps. to keep all
of their obligations but the khan up
ported the right and he believed that in
time all Americans who were qualified
would become members Of it.
The letter was signed by the "Exal-
ted Clycops,' and the "Kiligrapp," of
the local khan, shown by the official
seal to have been Khan No. 8 in Mon
ana at the time of its organization,
which was late last year.
