 Named for Persons
 Every tree planted, under the scheme, is to be named in honor of some prominent citizen or person who has done service for his state, city or county. It is especially de- sired that trees be named for pas tors, prominent members of churches. teachers and those who have rem dered valuable assistance to their communities.
 Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Bobo of Iron dale have charge of the road through Irondale, and J. D. Elliott. chair man of the highway, is observing goes by all the churches and the new Woodlawn High school.
 The women are also asking that the ugly telephone poles along First avenue be taken down and the wires placed under ground and trees substi- tuted for them. They also have hope that in some places at least, stretches of white way may be attained.
 other Clubs to Aid
 The U. D. C., the Eastern Star organizations, the Masons. Parent IedCner dSSoCidtlOnS, misSlOnary societies, Sunday schools and all other organized bodies are expected to aid and urgently being asked to send representatives to the mass meeting. Mfr. Conner has already offered to write to several nurseries to get prices on shrubbery. He said . very beautiful thing to the Woman's club committee:
 When nation eeases to memo rialize it's great men. It is falling into decay"
 Everythtng Cst~ioEued
 An trees planted are to be mum bered and catalogued in the map Of the city engineers diagram so that nobody will ever be unable to find in after years any certain tree plant ed to memorialize a citizen.
 The city and county engineers have already looked over the street wid- ening project with a view to seeing what is necessary to be done and how much money it will approxi- mately cost.

Parman has had splendid success during his 20 or 24 months as fighter. having lost only one fight. and that a decision to an Indianapo lis boy. Most of Parman's fights have been knockouts, some well known boys succumbing to his right crosses. Although he is only a youngster. and hardly begun to attain his manhood. Parman is said to have a terrific punch for bantamweight.
 Part of Parman's Record
 A few of his more important fights follow:
 Young Jack sharkey of Memphis. knocked out in one round by Par man.
 Bobby Burns of Fort Worth. knocked out in five round by Par man.
 Earl Puryea of St. Louis, draw in eight rounds.
 Jimmie Teague. English bantam, knocked out in three rounds by Par man.
 Tim o'Dovd of Atlanta. draw In 10 rounds.
 Eddie Fox of Dayton, O.. knocked out in seven rounds by Parman.
 Predict Success for Parman
 Nashville sport scribes are pre- dieting a brilliant ring future for Parman, and state that some day he wliI wear the crown of the ban tamweights.
 Red Dewitt, the travelling sports man, is in Birmingham with Parman, and asserts that his young protegee must be watched in tonight's bout.
 If Grant is a good boy, Birming- ham fandom will witness a corking good scrap tomorrow night" asserted Red last night. "Bennie has his first black eye now, the result of lick from a Canadian lightweight, whom he has been working out with. Watch my boy Monday night1
 Grant From Atlanta
 Eddie Grant comes to Birmingham from Atlanta, where he fought couple of fights, won them easily, and then left for Birmingham. Grant may locate at Birmingham, if he finds the field good, he states.
 Grant is somewhat older than Par man. and has probably fought more scraps than has the Nashville boy. He, too. is said to have good punch. Red Dewitt, in talking over the scrap last night stated that Grant is -four round boy" that is, he goes into the ring to either knock out his opponent within four rounds or> to lose the scrap. His record seems to disprove this statement, though, as Grant has won 10-round decisions over some mighty good bantams. He has a bunch of knockouts to his credit also.
 Grant and Parman ought to stage 8 good scrap tonight, if advance dope turns out to be true.
 The first preliminary tonight will begin at S:50 o'clock.

 PLANNING GREAT OUTFIT FOR VOLS
NashviIIe's 1922 Baseball Roster Is About Com
 plete Now

Nashville, Tenn, February 26.- Special )-An outline for the 1922 Vols has been drawn up by Manager Larry Doyle in a way that betides a battle for the remaining clubs of the circuit providing no hitch occurs in the plans now under way. The Vols have an infield of caliber a reliable first string catcher, six pitchers ex- pected to go the distance without difficulty and more m prospect, and an outfie1d yet to be completed. but with almost definite assurance of landing pair of heavy hitting bats men to help Mike Burke on picket duty.
 Contracts have been mailed to 37 players, and reporting date has been set as March IA for pitchers and catchers, with March 90 for the re- maining players.
 On the Infield
 On the infield. Chick Knaupp last years field captain. and one of the most reliable keystoners in Dixie will return Hap Morse. who held down third base in creditable fash ion last season, will again be at the hot corner At short will be Mike Fuhry, an infielder from Louisville, who played part of last season with the Colonels Raymond We're, who hit .307 in the Ontario league last season. has been purchased on recom- mendation of Scout Dick Kinsella of the Giants for the first base position, with Bill Brown. last years first sacker and a 300 hitter himself, again on deck in reserve. Doyle may take fling at the second base job occa- sionally. and will always be on hand for pinch hitting duties.
 Mike Burke, .34S swatter last sea- son, is back at center, and two slug Eing mates are in line to report from other leagues before the season be- gins. In the event either of these falls through, the Vols have Joe Klein and Knotty Porter, who finished the sea- son with the Vols. to plug in tempo rarily.
 Morrow Behind the Bat
 Bob Morrow, farmed out for two seasons to Rome, Ga, is ripe for first string catching duties, after sensa- tional season last year in Georgia. second string man will be selected from the rookie ranks.
 Cy Warmoth. left handler; Carson Lankenau and Red Lucas of last years squad return, along with Tom Gallagher. former Baron, and Connie Fields, former Look kout; Norman Sewell, strapping right-hander, who won II and lost with Cedar Rapids last year. is coming for slab duties. He was also bought on recommen- dation of the Giant scouts. Larry Doyles intimate association with Mo Graw assures the Vols Of further aid if they fail in any department this year.

STEAMER OF srEEL WOOL

Ciogged stems. that bane of pipe users, can be averted by the use Of a new smokers accessory. which con- sists of small, loosely wound ball of fine steel wool. says an illus trated article in the Popular Mechan- ics Magazine. This pressed down against the bottom of the pipe bowl. allows free passage of the smoke, but prevents tiny particles of tobacco from entering the stem.

.THE MASTER EYEn


 The old injunction to keep your eye on the ball has led to some scien- tific experiments. Now 1t comes forth that the player has a best eye and that the detail of fastening the optic on the pail should be matter solely for his master eye 1t is now de- termined that every player has one which serves him better than the other in the all important act of Keeping the eye on the ball.
 An unintentional experiment made in England some time ago, during q team match by member of a Cam bridge university team, threw this subject into the field of discussion. One of the eyes of the player in ques- tion had been undergoing medical treatment and was bandaged closely at the time. In spite of this handicap he halved the match with his oppo- nent and played fine golf at times. On some shots he found difficulty in judging distance.
 This thing interested me and have made some indoor experiments this winter to determine which was my master eye" l have concluded it is my left one.
 Uses His Eyes
 This results, perhaps, from the fact that l cock my head back a little on the back swing and also on the down swing to the actual hitting, At any rate. I am sure that I make a greater use of my left eye in every golf swing. l think vail's weight testing machine might be used profitably in such experiments, because if a player sways backward the line from his left eye to the ball is shorter and less oblidue. If any such inclination there is a tendency to shorten the line from the left eye to the ball. This applies 10 a right-handed golfer, of course. With a southpaw the condition will reverse.
 n In the execution of the longer shots The ball is played so far away from the body that you get both eyes over the ball and allow the club to lie naturally. which, by the way, is one of the most important things to be borne in mind. In cases where there is marked discrepancy in the strength of the eye tho stronger must be most necessarily favored
 Chicks PuttinG stand
 One of my great rules has always been 10 keep my eyes in such posi- ton that lines of equal length drawn from each eye would meet at a point on top of the ball. I will change that rule from now on, because l am con vinced that one eye should do all the aiming of the shot. In putting, the hardest shot of the game. l have aI- ways kept my eyes directly over the ball, using the point of my nose as a. guide for the clubhead of my butter. Since putting requires a short stroke it would be difficult to say which of the eyes provided the best guide.
 might be able to do better with only one eye, and I might say this is about the only thing I have not yet tried in my fruitless effort so far to learn how to putt.
 Players who wear glasses no doubt, will be much interested in this phase of using the eye. The whole subject of the application of sight to golf playing is an interesting one and 1t is easily possible for it to lead to some unexpected new develop

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago, Dec. 18.-Renewal Of crop
damage fears as a result Of the cold
wave led to soaring prices in the wheat
market Monday. Closing quotations
were unsettled. ~ net higher, with
May s1.25h to s1.25A and July s1,16b
to S1.16A. Corn gained IL to IL, oats
"a to y and y, and provisions 10 to
IS cents.
Except for transient reactions due to
profit taking, the course Of the wheat
market was upgrade from the outset
and high price records for the season
which have been frequently broken of
late, were again unexceiled. Lack of
adequate snow protection in much Of
the winter wheat territory was an evil
dent source of danger in connection
with sub-zero temperatures, and the
puyinG business stimulated was given
further impetus owing to guesses that
the government report issued after the
close would be nnre bullish than proved
to be the case.
Decrease Of more Il. an 5000, 600 bush

New York. Dec. 1S.-Prices opened
strong in Mondays stock market, pul
a decided reaction set IN later upon
southwestern stock exchange firm ana
a cut in the Great Northern preferred
dividend, placing it on a . per cent
annual basis instead OF Z per cent, a
rate which had been paid without inter
ruption since 1899. There We're a few
notable exceptions to the downward
trend, but the declines in standard
issues ranged from l to Z points.
An unusually large volume or low
priced oils were thrown onto the market
after the failure, several thousand
shares being for the account or the
insolvent firm. The section included
blocks of Sinclair, Kelly. Maryland,
Phillips Petroleum, Invincible Oil and
Texas mpany nearly 100000 shares
Of these companies changing hands dur
ing the day. Except for a drop of 1hs
in Maryland and / in Kelly, the net
losses in these issues were all of frac-
tional character.
Great Northern preferred fell to 765s,
a new low record, on announcement OF
the dividend action, but rallied at the
close to 77A. where it represented a net
loss of 2% for the day. Other rails
were active at rising prices in the early
dealings, declining in sympathy.
Copper stocks offered stubborn resis-
lance to selling pressure, fresh buying
in this group being influenced by higher
prices quoted for the red metal and
speculative anticipation that a few more
issues would be put on a dividend basis
within the next few months. General
Electric was one of the outstanding
Individual strong spots, closing at a
net gain of more than 4 points.
United States Steel conmo was again
the most active stock on the big
board" more than 100000 shares chang
ing hands at prices ranging from 1885,
to 1861, the closing price OF 1861 rep
resenting a net loss of ia. Gulf States
and Bethlehem B dropped a point
each. Baldwin, which touched 129 be-
fore noon, fell later to 1868, or " below
Saturdays close. S~tudebaker was off
Is on the day. Marine preferred had
another sinking spell on a revival of
unconfirmed reports that the dividend
was in danger, the net loss being tx
points.
Call money opened and renewed at
Ar per cent and advanced to 5 before
the close. The time none market was
slightly easier, a few so and 80 day
loans being arranged at Az per cent
with most OF the 80 day business being
done on a AZ per cent basis and the
longer maturities at 5 per cent. Com
mercial paper trading continued quiet,
with no change in rates.
Foreign exchanges were weak on pub
licatson of European dispatches that
little credence was being placed there
on the possibility Of an international
loan for Germany at this time. De-
mand sterling dropped a cent to asa and
French francs fell nearly 80 points to
7.33. The German mark dropped from
1877 to 1.53 cents a hundred.
