AIRPLANE GESTURES
 FUNERAL SERVICE

The appearance of an airplane fly ing over Elmwood cemetery yester- day afternoon while funeral services were being conducted was the cause of much unfavorable comment, ac- cordng to Wallace Johns. The air plane lowered over the cemetery all during the service," said MT. Johns. which not only detracted from the solemnity of the service, but made so much noise that words of the off, ciating minister could scarcely be heard.
 This is not the first time by any means that this has happened, and it certainly shows a lack of respect for the feelings of the bereaved family and friends"

COTTON ARMY WORMS
 APPEAR IN ALABAMA

Auburn. August .-(Special.)-- On time, arm yowrms, or cotton cat erpillars. have made their appearance in Alabama. Recently pr. W. E. Kinds, entomologist for the extension service, announced that they were expected any day. and already out breaks have ben reported in Lowndes. Autauga. Lawrence and Taliadega counties.
 In the opinion of Dr. Hinds these worms will very likely not do a great deal of damage in south Alabama. but in north Alabama considerable damage is expected unless proper control work is done.
 In 1911 army worms in large num- bers throughout Alabama literally stripped large fields of cotton, and investigation work conducted By Dr. Hinds at that time showed that the loss due to stain and additional trash in the cotton was much greater than the cost of dusting.
 To control army worms, cotton should be dusted with calcium ar senate or lead arsenate by the pole method.
 The only equipment necessary is a bag of ordinary cheese cloth doubled four inches square and 12 to Is inches in length at each end of a pole of sufficient length as to place the center of each bag over the cen- ter of each row. Each bag should then be filled with calcium arsenate. which is applied to the cotton by rid- ing down every other middle. dust ing the poison on the cotton. TAe walking or trotting of the mule dusts the poison out.
 By this method army worms can be rapidly poisoned and the work may be accelerated by making the pole of sufficient length to cover four rows. in which case four bags to the pole will be necessary.

Christianity Alone
 Will SoIue Problems
 Of World, Says Stuart

In spite of the downpour which | preceded the time for the morning
 service, the large auditorium of the
 capacity Sunday when Dr. George R. 1 Stuart, pastor, who had broken into
 his vacation to spend this Sunday
 here, came into his pulpit, and preached a characteristic sermon on 1 the subject, What Have I to Do With the Needs of the world?" | The sermon in which he urged the
 need of every Christian considering himself a debtor to mankind. was Romans. and especially on the text l found in 1:14, T am debtor both l to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and the unwise." When during the course of his ser
 mon Dr. Stuart paid a glowing trib- ute to William Jennings Bryan as a | high type of Christian, who has in- augurated many movements based on
 the teachings of Christ, the sermon
 was interrupted by applause.
 Tn his idea of debt the pagan differs from the Christian idea" said
 Dr. Stuart "The pagan idea Is that | you owe no man anything unless you l have at some time received some thing from him. That is the worlds basis of debt. The same holds true l of the idea of retribution and re- taliation, which is the basis of many
 bloody feuds.>
 This is a non-working principle in | the world. But you say that is jus 1 tice, and will not justice work? Yes, but not without the element of
 mercy. Christianity will work if yoI give 1t a chance, but Christian l ity will damn the world. Christian | ity says according to Paul, that you are a debtor to the Romans, to the
 Greeks and to the barbarians, whether l you have received any benefit from them or not.
 "What would this world be without home relations to guard each other? When we pray we say, Our Father,
 who art in heaven; and if we say, | Our Father is not our fellow man our brother? What is the Christian | idea of debt? That if I have some thing you are in need of and that you ought to have. no matter to what branch of the human family you trace your origin, I am indebted to you.
 why did Jesus hang on the cross? To save my enemies, to save these that spit on me, 10 save those who
 had not given me anything. but to whom nevertheless I was debtor.' The war has swung us back from the high point of 1913. and when we reach that point again, we will swing in the right direction. The psychology of war and selfishness has gotten into us. Where we are going, God only knows. The great cry now is: I want more money for less work and if you are manu- facturer you say: I want more money for more shoddy goods We are abnormal in this age on gettins more money Do you know why?
 We need more. But in this chase for
 luxuries and pleasure and for more money to supply them, we are for getting that we also owe a debt to the Romans and the Greeks and the barbarians. and that only through l the spirit of Christianity and altru-
 ism will the worlds problems. more
 serious now than ever. be solved"

 Gene Sarazen, Pittsburg profess sionalS who won the national open title at Skokie last month, is a popu- lar favorite for championship hon ors, but Sarazen takes the viewpoint of old campaigners that the course Is too tricky to make forecasts worth while.
 Two rounds of match play tomor- row will reduce the field from 64 to l6 players. Sarazen is paired with Tom Mahan of Haverhill. Mass, for the first round of IS holes and Frank T. Sprogell of Memphis Is paired with Willie Hunter of Onwentsia, III.

Club Is Planning a
 Big Day for the Riddles When
 The Annual Outing Takes Place

Davis is more than pleased with the response that the members are max Ing, and he s sure that the donations are liberal. He says that 1t is never a gamble to count on the generosity of the Automobile club members when it comes time for their party for the little ones. Members have rendered the use of their cars, them selves, and their contributions. The Boy Scouts have rendered their ser vices to help the club take care of the children, and welfare workers have been kind in assisting the club to arrange for the many children who are not m institutions. These last were the charges of Dr. J. A. Bryant, and his absence is being keenly felt in arranging for them.
 Time goes slowly for both the party thinkers, but the big day will be announced soon--a day of hap piness for those who would give joy to the less fortunate children of Bir- ningham, as well as to the little children whose right to happiness is denied by fate
