Draw for Record Number
ofCompeting Nations To
BE Announced To-day
By Fred Hawthorne

The name of one more nation was
added to the great list Of challengcrs
for the Davis Cup yesterday when the
Philippine Islands, through the Philip
pine Amateur Athletic Federation, for
warded its challenge through the Offices
Of the Governor General Of the islands
The lists had formally closed on
Wednesday, and The phiiippinc chal-
lenge had been cablcd On Tuesday, but
owing to a delay IN its transmission to
the Offices Of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association the message was
not received until yesterday.
The addition Of the Filipinos to the
field of challenging nations makes Il
total of fourteen countries which win
struggle to take the historic tennis cup
away from the United States this sum
mer. Last year there were twelve, but
several of these defaulted. It is be
lieved that every nation in the draw
will compete this year. difficulties that
existed a year ago having been re
moved.
In this connection the visit to this
country Of the philippine players is
practically certain, since the two mem
bers of the team have already made
arrangements III 10 SAIL ior the JDiteI
States from Manila on April 30, as al
taches of the Philippines Independence
mission. The two leading players Of
the islands will be selected after a
series of elimination tournaments, to
be held this month in Manila and other
tennis centers.
The draw will be made publicly at
noon to-day, in the Offices of the L. S.
l.. T. A., 20 Broad Street, with Presi-
dent Julian S. Myrick officiating, as
sisted by George T. Adee. Robert d,
Wrenn and Henry W. Slocum. Of the
international committee. and, as it will
be a blind" draw, fate may play a
leading part in determining the two
nations that meet in the final round at
Newport, in August.
On past records, Australasia ana
Japan should appear as the fnalists,
but should these two nations be drawn
in the same half, one or the other must
go out before the final round is reached
The British Isles. France and India
appear as the next in order of playing
strength, and in the event that Japan
and Australasia are drawn in the same
half, one of the last three named may
gain final gracket.
1t seems to me that here is an ex-
cement oppoI tullty TO invoke the and
of the Seeded" draw, with Auatralasia
Japan, the British Isles and India, 70,
example, placed arbitrarily in the upper
and lower halves. But perhaps the
| deed of gift governing competition for
the international cup prohibits such 8
procedure. In such a case it would be
well to change the rule to conform
with the new practice of seeding a.
now used in this country.

STOCKHOLDERSOWN
 BIRMINGHAM PORT.. OWE ONLY $2O,OOO.
Full Use of Facilities Will Place It on Dividend Basis, Says President of
 the Company

At the annual meeting of the Port of Birmingham company, which financed. built and owns the Bir- rningham terminals on the Warrior hiver at Birmingport, held yes terday, 1t was announced that the stockholders now own the port and it's equipment in fee simple, sub 5eot only to a debt of $2o.O0e owing to the Tennessee company for money advanced to complete the work.
 The small indebtedness bears a nominal interest of l per cent. With this exception the port company has either paid its indebtedness or has money on hand to wipe 1t out. The terminals, costing $3o0,000, thus be- come the property of the citizens of Birmingham, whose patriotic dollars made the enterprise a possibility.
 The old board of directors was re- elected and will meet in few days to elect officers. W. D. Nesbitt Is president and R. A. Brown first vice president of the company.
 The terminals were incomplete as to equipment when leased to the government. which now operates them. and the government has spent s50,000 in improvement and Is spend-

Dr. Henry Gaines HaWn

In the language of my friend Shorty McCabe, Dr. Henry Gaines Hawn is "the correctest gent verbal l most ever met"
 Of course l had expected this when l dropped in to call on him yester- day and in consequence 1 had my lit- tie troop of trained adjectives all grouped nicely together, my verbs and my adverbs, my propositions and my conjunctions, because-well-the do say that "a noun is known by the verb it keeps" and while this doesn't sound especially uplifting morally, 1t obtains in the best grammatical cir cles.
 Dr. Hawn twists his speech into the most dellciously lovely verbal -mosaics-pastels -plati- -aphorisms-what you will- and he hates incorrect speech like game bird hates a red dog. ("Ouida" said that; I didn't; I know Dr. Hawn will cut my acquaintance when he knows that 1 read such trash).
 Any way-armed cap-a pie, I bearded the most eloquent man in America," as his critics call him, in his den yesterday and I spent ona of the most delightful hours I can remember in many moons-sitting at the feet of wisdom. clothed In ex- quisite language-wfth that soft euphonious charming southern quail ity of voice and that chivalrous ele- gant southern manner-which is al ways unmistakable. Dr. Hawn Is quite the distinguished man of let ters, grammarian. orator, and spon- sor for the best in dramatic art that America holds today.
 Dr. Hawn is in Birmingham to as- sist us in "mending our speech, and not one of Us can register a plea that we are not guilty of atro- cious grammar, loose, shambling. pronunciation, and terrible enunci- ation.
 Being southern--and Dr. Hawn be- ing southerner too-we can mu- tually understand our lax pronunci- ations-for as the Boston lady once said to the southern woman:
 My dear, there Is not .d' or a E In your alphabet" whereupon the southern woman not meaning to be outdone, replied: "Yes, but there are A other perfectly good letters in it."
 It Is for the entire 2s letters of | the. alphabet as well as let cetera' l that Dr. Hawn comes with 8 med l icine which either kills or cures-and in connection with the Mend Your l Speech" plan he carries on daily in New York, he also sponsors l dramatic art as the foundation of all good diction and declares, besides that he Is the ardent champion of manhood-believing as he does that the future civilization of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-18

world lies in the hands of women, to make or to mar as she sees fit.
 "A Yirginian by birth" Dr. Hawn said in his chivalrous, gallant way. T had all the discrepancies of speech that southerner is afflicted with and later when lived in Selma. raised (not reared) in the cotton fields of Dallas county, I mispro- nounced the simple word put as well as always saying hep for help, an6 many other outrageous mis- pronoun- ciations."
 AS a child though I loved books and my mothers house, much to her dismay, was the rendezvous of the children of the neighborhood who came there to my cirousses-or charades-or whatever I chanced to be giving-where my books were my companions and I learned of those things through books"
 Going to New York and engaging in the work I am now doing and have done for the past 29 years" Dr. Hawn continued, T have had the pleasure of training nearly every actor, singer. poet, playwright, journalist and pub lie speaker of importance in the world. during that time. Elocution- that bugbear of other days-has no place in my work, but oral English is my 'metier,' the word, the gesture, the carriage, the personal appear ance, the address of the speaker be- ing syncronized into the perfect whole--with the brain actuating the attitude. I have a letter written to me by the late lamented Caruso, when he had sung after working with me, in which he spoke Of the tre- mendous pleasure it gave him to be able to sing with his whole body" And when the actor has been trained for hts part in today's pro gram of the theatre--what a pity 1t is that we have not the proper dra- matic setting for his talents" de- plored Dr. Hawn.
 "The world today has what it de- mands, though, in vaudeville, the le- gitimate stage and the opera, and am not blaming the actor, the pro-
 ducer, the playwright, you under stand but the audiences. As long as men and women enthus 'astlcally ap- plaud the flippant, vulgar plays which are presented to them just so long will the producer and the play wright offer as a pabulum what the audience demands"
 From the old Greeks comes the aphorism that We cannot hope to raise a people dpoVe the P,ahe VI their amusements' If this is true, then civilization is in state of de- cadence. This do not say as relative
 to the salaciousness of the stage, but to it's inanities."
 q reiterate that against the flip pant, salacious drama or vaudeville | I have no fight, provided it is clever, but I have rabid condemnation or the audiences who. by their patronage and approval, make such plays prof- | itable."
 T could wish that the hiss were an American custom, but not being

PUT STOMACH IN
 FINE CONDITION.
Says Indigestion Results from an Excess of Hydrochloflc
 Acid

Undigested food delayed in tre stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open ar, says a noted authority. He also tells us that indigestion is caused py ny per -acidity, meaning there is an ex- cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom- ach which prevents complete diges- tion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which initiate the stomach like toy balloon Then we feel heavy, lumpy misery in the chest. we belch up gas, We eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead get from any phar- macy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast and drink while 1t is effervescing and further more, to continue this fora week. While relief follows the first dose, 1t is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure di- gestive juices
 lad Salts is inexpensive and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts Is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results.--Adv.

so, American women by their ao- sence from the theatre and their non- support of such plays can remedy the If civilization is to be pre- served and accentuated the process must be through the arts, and women must be aroused to positive resent ment of plays which laugh at, or with, vice, and exhibit women as sexual commodities"
 "Cheapening of womanhood is ab- horent to me, for I revere and honor women-and now that they have the vote and have it within their power to regulate affairs, will they patron ize degrading drama and vaudeville and allow such things to occupy the stage?"
 Let me give you an example of humor and wit which I recently heard In a vaudeville show:
 Mamie: Throw me my left shoe" (The shoe is thrown.)
 Mamie: This is not the right shoe Voice from the wing: Of course it aint; how can the left shoe he the right shoe?"
 The audience: 'Hawl flaw! Haw!l Flaw! Hawl HawlH (vociferous and loud, with clapping of hands and
 Could anything be more inane or less clever?p
 Again I say, that women have 1t in their power to absolutely annul suggestive, pointless. vulgar drama by detaching themselves from the patronage of such things. and to them civilization looks for redemption for we know that men will not effect the curen

 Ports Future
 Future of the port depends on it's use. To this end, says President Nesbitt, two things are necessary:
 l. That the stockholding shippers themselves make all the use possible of the river in getting and shipping out their goods and solicit others to do the same.
 3. That some systematic method be devised and put into methodic use by which business shall be solicited and the benefits of shipping hy the Port of Birmingham become known to the towns in Alabama and adja- cent states within the territory eI toying the 20 per cent under all rail rate privilege by using the river, In this connection employment of a traffic manager for the port was discussed.
 .'The port now has capacity of 10000 tons per month" said Mir Nes- bitt, while it handles only 25,oo0 tons. The quicker we get to our ca- pacity. the sooner will we wipe out the small debt and enjoy dividend paying base. The stockholders of the port company can of themselves ao- complish much toward that end"
