 Montgomery, July 15.-(Special0- Senator B. B. Conner, whose name has been mentioned during the past few days as the successor of Edward w. Barrett as democratic national committeeman for Alabama, has in dorsed Frederick I. Thompson of Mobile, member of the United states shipping board and publisher of the Mobile Register and Mobile News Item, for the honorary party posi- tion.
 As soon as Senator Conner heard that friends of MT. Thompson had started a movement to bring his name to the attention of the sta.e democratic executive committee he wired them, announcing that he took great pleasure in joining In the movement q take great pleasure in indorsing my very good friend, Freq erick l. Thompson. and you may use thls as you see fit" said Senator Conner in a telegram from his old home at Conner.
 Others IndOrse
 James H. Webb. chairman of the state democratic executive commit tee, also has indorsed MT. Thomp- son and is appealing to all members  of the state committee to select him as Mir. Barretts successor.
 MT. Webb Is pointing out that north Alabama has been the home Of the democratic national committed man for many years and that the party honor should now go to some other section. He mentioned that Edward D. Smith of Birmingham was national committeeman and resigned, being succeeded by A. G. Patterson of Albany. MT. Patterson was not candidate to succeed himself, and w. T. Sanders of Athens was elected to the position. On the death of MT. Sanders. MT. Barrett was named as his successor. All were citizens of Birmingham or cities north of Bir- mingham.
 Another argument being advanced by south Alabama in tho interest of MT. Thompson. is that he Is spending practically all of his time in Wash ington and will be In touch with the situation at all times, thus giving Alabama a voice in the councils of the democratic party In the nation which can always be heard.

HIPPO PLAYS SAFE AT

They're playing q mean trick on the
hippopotamus, getting her to open her
mouth for q tid-bit, when there is no
tid-bit. However, Lotus, for that's
her name, is always willing to take a
chance, and, when any of the trainers
with the Al G. Barnes circus coming
to El Centre Saturday, March 11th,
makes the gesture of tossing her a car
rot, Lotus, largest hippo on earth and
the only performing one, opens her
mouth willingly. She generally wins
at that.
Lotus, largest hippo, and Tusko, the
largest elephant on earth, a foot taller
than Jumbo, are features of the big
show this year. AS such, they do very
well in the matter of food and lodging.
Lotus will be seen in the gorgcously
new street parade, which has this year
more open dens and cages in line than
have all other shows combined. The
1922 version Of ''Alicc in Jungleland, y
the fairyland extravaganza opening
the big show, employs in its enactment

TEAM PLAYER VALUE

Temperament, Reliability, and

Player Valuable
Bv HENRY J.. FARRELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Award Of the
trophies which the major leagues have
put up for the player voted the most
valuable in the league will provide good
material for the stove league next win
ter.
Putting up prizes to spur on the aSh-
letes may not have the effect of making
marked Improvement in the game, but
the choice of expert judges should go
long way in answering the annual
arguments about the relative value Of
star players TO their club.
Babe Ruth by q popular vote prob
ably would be chosen as the greatest
player in baseball, but American
League fans do not agree that he is
the most valuable player to his club.
Temperament, reliability, unselfish-
ness in addition to mechanical ability,
go to make up a valuable player. One
player might be able to hit 400, field
.999 and steal hundred bases a year,
but if he WASH It in condition to be out
there every day, if he wasn't willing to
put the interests of the club above his
own, if he bucked the management and
caused the morale of the team to be
broken, he might not be as valuable as

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Ever hear of the Chronological Division of the Weather Bureau? It's one of the bus fest little branches of the government establishment in Washington.
 The weather sharps who do nothing but prognosticate day after day lead placid life compared with the ardu- ous labors of the scientists connected with the Chronological Division.
 Each day the Weather Bureau is inundated with queries, some good, some not so good, but all urgently re- questing replies. These queries are shunted to the Climatological Division, and then ensues a wrestling match which would make a heavyweight catch -as-catch-can bout resemble a playful tussle.

REFORMER SAYS PARENTS
 CAUSE OF POOR MORALS

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5.-Lack of paren- tai supervision is much to blame for the degrading state into which the morals of the young girls and boys of today are slipping.
 Taking sides with Dr. Wilbus F.. Crafts, superintendent of the lnterna- tional Reform Bureau, on the subject, Mrs. Theresa Baldwin, policewomaan, comes forward to ask:
 "Where is girls mother all the while her daughter is attending dance halls where she must associate with immoral minds of both sexes?"
 A school for delinquent parents is suggested by Mrs. Baldwin, who has made a study of the dance hall situa- tion along with several other police wornen in this city. She has to say on this subject:
 "At a public dance to which sev- eral policewomen were sent, conduct was SuCn dS lO JuSIlly IiiS iiooI SiiOSi> in~ statements on the subject You'd think we'd be pretty much hardened to anything, but the behavior and con- versation of those young people was so shocking that we could hardly make up our minds to stay and see it through.
 "Young girls-mere children-crave excitement, and the automobile SUD- plies it in the most attractive form, Then follows the drinking of liquor and staying out all hours, and the child.is brought in by the mother when the damage is done. One little girl of eleven was found last week the vic tim of an automobile drinking esca- pade."
