DUFF GREEN BUYS
 COLE SPORTSTER

Mir. Duff Green Is the proud owner of new Cole Sportster that he bought yesterday from Ewart- Brewer Darby Motor company. During the past two weeks I have been considering buying new car, and have driven all the new models on auto row. from the lowest to the highest priced. Ever since I received my mechanical engineer diploma from Rose Polytechnic Institute cf Terra Haute. Ind. have been study ing automobiles. and watched their wonderful development. I have owned many different makes of cars (this being my fourth Cole). and have driven a Cole over 100, ,000 miles. After driving all the various models this past week, I must confess that none could perform or check up with the beautiful Cole. I will get Is to II miles on a gallon of gasoline; 1000 miles on gallon of oil, and 20,- 900 miles on a set of tires; and this Is more economical operation than on a low priced car, say nothing of the pleasing and gratifying ownership of such wonderful car. I honestly believe the Cole is the best auto mobile value of the day at any price," Thus, Mir. Green is greatly pleased with, his Cole Eight Ninety. and he has already received many eompli- mentary expressions on it.

Paul de Launay to Return
 ToHowardAfer Furlough

Paul de Launay, Paris, concert organist, conductor, composer and teacher of music, has returned to Bir- mingham to take up again his work as director of the music department of Howard college, after years leave of absence, during which time he gave organ recitals in the north. His experience with the music stu dents of Birmingham and Howard has already convinced him that he has a field from which he may ex- pect great results.
 Mir. de Launay, himself of noble French family, direct descendant Of the governor of the bastille of the French revolution, and a relative of Charlotte Corday, carries with him the romantic atmosphere of old France. He was born in Paris and educated there at the University, the School of Fine Arts and the Con- servatory of Music. During his early boyhood he became 8 choir boy under the great Gounod at St. Eustache, in Paris, as soprano so1oist. At the early age of 13 he became organist, and soon after. as pianist, accompanied many oI the grand opera SlnBeTb ol the capital. He has studied music under the famous masters, among whom are Anthiome, dean of the conservatory; Massenet, under whom he studied composition, and Guil- mant, under whom he studied the or gan.
 The interpretations he has given of Neo-Modern French compositions fin his concerts over the world have won for him the title of Master Of Modern Descriptive Music"
 Mir. de Launay came to this coun~ try in 1902 and took up his work as director of music at Westmount col lege. In Columbia, S. C., he spent II years as the organist of Trinity P. E. church, during which he founded there school of music and art. In 1909 he was nominated a member of the American Guild of Organists by

one to be thus overridden or that we had done anything terrible enough to sneak off in a corner. So, making up my mind to be arrested If it came to such a terrible thing, several of the ladies and I began to distribute our literature. The president of the State Fair association came out of the office several times, looked at us. but he did not come over.
 A Church Booth
 Shortly after I arrived Friday, a lady from one of the church booths came to mo. This same church has had booth at the fair several years. Each year, she told me, they had to have a different committee go to the president of the fair, that MT. Browns attitude toward their Chris tian work was so abrupt and dis- courteous they could never get the same committee to go back to make arrangements. Saturday, the Bes- semer union was to have charge of the booth, but hearing Saturday they were not permitted to sell the eatables they had prepared, they did not come. When Mrs. Harris and I arrived about noon we placed a barrel of Ice water near the 1IOHL Ol lH6 DOOlUt CuiiH& urday we gave away several barrels of ice water, and about 5000 leaf lets. The people deeply appreciated the ice water, saying 1t was the only place on the grounds they could get good drink. The rest room was filled nearly all the week with tired mothers. babies. and old men, so the woman's Christian Temperance Union ladies feel repaid, for their trouble. The statement by the secre- tary of the fair that the location never paid expenses was truly borne out in our case. The net profit for the three days refreshments sold was not more than half enough to build the booth If we had had to pay for it.. MT. Borwn's statement fin Friday afternoon newspaper that the Wom- ans Christian Temperance Union had no concession to sell eatables left a false impression. I had a verbal agreement with Mir. Dent, secretary of the fair, September 22, Mrs. L. E. Harris also being present, wherein he gave us space for our booth pro vided we would give him the privi- lege of sending lost children there and that we would build our own booth At that time it was also specified we would have the privilege of selling pies and cakes and dis tributing iiterature."

"N0W IT CAN BE TOLD" THEY RElTERATE AS
 FRIDAY THE 18th ENDS

Hoodoo Friday wrought much hav- oc at the city hall, officially and privately.
 A conference to pass on the new budget and attend to other import ant matters came to naught. Late in the day, the commission received a communication from the real es- tate board, charging insincerity in it's efforts to reach settlement with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 After having changed a $20 bill in a drug store at Ensley, c. NJ. Baker, superintendent Of electrical and wa ter departments, walked out of the store and left two other $20 bills on the counter. He has not seen or heard of the departed currency since. although he says he has faith in hu- man nature.
 George c. Moore, superintendent Of streets, received a painful waliop on the jaw, while attempting to act the mediator in a free-for- all fight dur ing the Birmingham Southern -Mer- cer game at Redwood park. Moore had already had experience with holdoo jinxes, being injured in an auto collision on a previous Friday, the Thirteenth.
 George Trafford. clerk to Commits sioner W. B. Cloe, was smitten with dengue fever, with all the discom- fort break done" can inflict.

WHITE WAY PLANS k. BEING DELAYED
Installation of Fifth Avenue White Way Held Up by
 Property Owners

Birmingham will not be able to boast of its Great White Way" un- less owners of real estate along the Fifth avenue send in their checks or money, to cover the pledges previous ly made. according to announcement made last night by P. Y. Whitman. chairman of the committee appointed by the Civitan club to have charge of installing this white way
 The committee has completed in detail, it's contract with both the city and the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company, and are now ready to start the work of in stallation. However. the work is being held up by some of the prop erty owners failing to send in their pledges to cover the costs. Sixty per cent of the pledges have been sent in.
 The great White Way will be an asset to Birmingham and the com mittee in charge urges that each in- dividual property owner on Fifth avenue will boost up the issue and assist the committee in securing the desired amount for it's installation.

SWAIN SEEKS WINDOW FROM WHICH T0LEAP,
 BUT NOW IS MARRIED

c. W. Roberts, Thirteenth street and Eighth avenue, escaped death from his own hands yesterday aft ernoon due to the quick action of Tom Christian, assistanct chief of police, according to information at police headquarters, and an hour later was married to Miss Ruby Gertrdue Padgett. Detec- tives o. D. Brown and c. M Bragan, who maneuvered the mar riage, said that the wedding which quickly changed tragedy to happiness through the ceremony, was performed by the Rev. Edwin Stevenson.
 According to Bragan, Roberts entered police headquarters with a brisk step and an unusual look in his eyes. He made a dive for & window. opening out of head quarters, to the pavement on Nins- teenth street, 30 feet below. He was seized in the sturdy arms of Chief Christian, who Is said to have also removed from Roberts grasp three ounces of carbolic acid.
 The cause of the alleged attempt of Roberts grew out of the girl in the case coming to police head quarters and reporting that she was afraid of Roberts, due to her refusal to marry him. Roberts quickly followed her arrival at headquarters, and . reconciliation was effected. BraHan accompanied RobertA to the county probate .of- flee. where the detective said Rob- erts desired to tear down the door in his efforts to obtain the ii- cense before the girl changed her mind.

too great to give up. We had three or four ladies who were willing to take the temperance flight. I am glad to say we did not back out an inch. and were going up. But the president of the State Fair associa- ton stepped in again and by an in terview in a newspaper actually stop ped our flight by putting the issue on danger basis, and going so far as to say that the W. c.
