ETIQUETTE BOOKS
 MUCH IN DEMAND
Woman Use Books More Ere quentIy Than Men-List
 of Books

The citizens of Birmingham are de- termined not to let the mad rush of Industry cause them to lose any of the precision and courtlness of man ners fer which the south has all ways been known. We may depend upon iron and steel for our exiss tence. but the heart of the social world is not going to be made of such irsensltive metals. Birmingham still remembers that she Is southern city. and what is a southern city without manners?
 The women of Birmingham are seeing to 1t that every book on eti- quette in the public library is kept working over time. Because of the scarcity of good books on the sub ject, and this unusual demand for them. the library has found 1t neees- sary to place the best of the works on the shelves of the reference room. There every book almost always has some member of social sets turning It's pages or pouring over it's lines of advice.
 Men are mot 20 particular. Few call for books on etiquette. Per haps they haven't the time, or, whisper it. the courage. to make theif own investigations, and so send their wives or sisters? Perhaps they feel no lack of knowledge Of the subject or ridcule the idea of learning such things from books? Whatever the cause. the masculine element of the social world is not strongly repre- sontcd among those who keep the etiquette books constantly off of the shelves.
 One of the most frequent questions asked by those who do not take the books and look up their questions for themselves is asked regarding the names of the various wedding anniversaries, and their order. The next is about the proper clothes to wear at a wedding. Everybody, 1t would seem. wants to be polite at a wedding. Aside from the subject of weddings, more elderly women use the books than younger ones.
 The library has pat into its shelves only what 1t considers the better of the etiquette books. Since there is scarcity of good etiquette books whose editions are kept up-to date, there are only 14 titles in the library.

LOCAL ATTORNEY MET DEATH r ROM
 PISTOL WOUNDS
Joseph E. Johnson Shot Through the Heart by Own Pistol While Lying in
 Bed Sunday

Joseph E. Johnson, aged A, wide ly known Birmingham attorney, of 54l4 Second avenue, south, met al- most instant death Sunday morning about o'clock when he was shot through the heart with his own pistol while lying in bed. Whether the shooting was the result of accident or design has not been determined by Coroner Russum, who made an investigation shortly after the shoot ing.
 The coronor found no motive that would suggest suicide and as there was no witness to the actual shoot ing, the manner in which he came to his death is somewhat shrouded in mystery. The coronor will continue his investigations this morning ana render a verdict.
 Relatives of the deceased scout the suggestion that the deceased took his own life and are of the opinion that he was victim of somnam- bulism and shot himself while asleep. His standing in the community was of the highest character and his friends strongly incline to the be- lieve of his relatives.
 Remains of Johnson will be sent to Colhnsville Monday morning by Vice for funeral services and burial.
 Coronor Russum in his investiga- tion learned that Johnson was ly fff End f,, Nc xxrff Mrs. Johnson, and that the shot was fired during the heavy thunder and lightning storm of Sunday morning. Mrs. Johnson said that an unusually bright flash of lightning came. and almost simultaneously the shot which caused her husbands death was fired. Mrs Johnson stated that her husband groaned and she asked him if the lightning had struck him. to which he replied "Yes." The victim then rolled over to one side of the bed, where he died a few seconds later.
 Johnson. besides being prominent in law circles, was one of the most ardent church workers of the Wood lawn vicinity, being superintendent of the Fifty fourth Street Methodist Church Sunday School. He was World war veteran. serving as a first

CLOSING OF SAMPLE ROOMS MEANS HEAVY

"If the Sunday observance law is enforced and made to include Sunday sample displays by travelling men," said George E. Driver, IT,. assistant manager of the Motion hotel, in speaking of the recent edict of the police authorities.
 Birmingham hotels will lose thou sands of dollars worth cf business each weekend. The enforcement of this law will have far-reaching effect that few of the Birmingham citizens realize.
 "Traveling men are forced to make the small towns during the week, and tho large towns during the week ends, if they are to keep up a good record of sales. In this section Of the country they make Birmingham, At lanta and Memphis on the week-ends.
 of this law is enforced 1t will mean that they will go to Atlanta and Memphis. and not come to Birming- ham except when they are forced to. Travelling men stick together.

DOLLAR BILL
By J. n. YEOMANS.

Excepting only first born's first TOOTH the health
and strength of the American dollar gets atten-
ton than anything known to the normal citizen OF
these United States.
You may spend lot of time reading pages about
the uproar at home and abroad and lot more time try
ing to forget that the whole world is in stew about
thing another but throughout the day and the night
you weighing your bankroll, a section thereof
against something upon which you may carve your
sign of ownership.
thing you would acquire is of and for motoring and it
is with much gee and rejoicing that you find the 1922
model American dollar healthy and robust-equpped
with the lifting power ablebodied coin should have
IN these days of two-handed action
Much has been said and written Of the pre-war dollar
and in various comparisons strenuous efforts have been
made to show the prowess and punch of this much
touted coin in the trade mars but it is exaggeraton
to say that the dollar of today step rings around
the older cart wheel when the contest is staged in
Motordom
True it took fewer dollars to buy certain cars before
the big war, but the bearing the brand and
slightly higher price tags today are better values
better by far because of building experience, fault
elimination and the spur of competition.
Your dollar is at least 20 per cent stronger when it
comes to carrying tire out to the curb and the tire
is just good the tire of yesterday, little better
perhaps, because of the elimination of adjustment
arguments by the big rubber boys.

In the service station Bill doesn't gather much
