placed in vacuum. There at low
heat we evaporate more than half
the water.

Another delightful Paramount
Cosmopolitan picture based on a
story by Fannie Hurst, author OF
'Humoresque' was shown with great
at the Crescent theatre last
night. 1t is "Just Around the Cor
ner," a story of the East Side OF
New York City. 1t was adapted n
directed by Frances Marion.
This is an absorbing story of fam
ily affection, of the struggles of a
mother, her son and daughter
against poverty. and of their ulti-
mate triumph. Love, humor, mis-
fortune, smiles and tears and smiles
again, all play their parts in the
action. The parts are portrayed by
a brilliant cast embracing Margaret
seldom, Lewis Sergeant, Sigrid
Holmquist, Edward Phillips, Fred
C. Thomson, Peggy Parr and others.
Margaret Seldom, who took part
in The Inside of the Cup" has a

MOBILE EXPECTS TO
GO OVER THIS WEEK
IN UNIVERSITY DRIVE

University, Ala, December a.
Especial. )-Advancirg at the rate of
10000 day, Mobile raised $4,000
in the University of Alabama million
dollar campaign during the past
week. and 1t Is understood that the
remainder of its quota of $4,000 will
be obtained during the next few days.
Although encouraging progress
was being made In cleanup cam
paigns in various parts Of the state
during the past week, Mobile was
in the spotlight as its active cam
paign was postponed on account of
the port amendment campaign. The
university campaign started there
Monday under the leadership of
Thomas M. Stevens, and 1t was be-
lieved certain that the remainder of
$4,000 would be obtained soon.
Among the reports OF new sub
scriptions obtained elsewhere during
the past week were $3.50 from
alumni living in Meridian, Miss. !;
$4,000 from Bibb county; $4,000 from
Baldwin county; $4,000 each from
Macon and Shelby counties, and
s2.075 from Russell county.
The campaign for the university in
Mobile WAS given the support of
alumni and non-alumni during the
past week. An average of 1904 has
been established by the alumni sub
scriptions. and it is believed that the
alumni average would ebe raised dur
Ing the coming week.
