 While this year seems a gala one for European travel as well as for tours of the west, Birmingham still presents almost an appearance of a vast summer colony.
 Never before in the history of the state has this city been so much sought as an educational center in the hot months. It seems that all the institutions have thrown open their doors and are moving along smoothly. Each one Is offering splendid advantages to those wishing to secure credits as well as degrees. Many are preparing for teachers cer- tfficates and others are making use of the idle months to make time, which was perhaps lost by illness or from other causes.
 Howard college campus presents a pretty scene every day, with the men. women, boys and girls going to and fro to their classes. Over 800 are registered, the model school Is ready and filled with little tots. The new building is under headway will be occupied in the fall and the music of the hammer and saw adds an accompaniment to the busy scene.
 Birmingham-So Southern college, sit- uated high on the hillside at Owen ton, Is filled to it's capacity with students and offers exceptional op- portunities to those registering.

What man or woman, reaching the age of wisdom, would not dis card a dozen years of physical progress-a lose none of the mental richness gathered in years of struggling existence? For 8 woman, it takes more than paint box and lip stick to do it.
 Foot troubles, and the physical impairment that often proceeds from wearing harmful shoes, make their mark-not altogether where none but doctor can see it, but on the face where everyone can see it.

THEY BRING HAPPINESS


 They do bring joy, Gantilever Shoes. They seem so perfectly suited to one's foot. Flexible, light, well made, good looking, they help you, comfort you, tighten your step. The Cantilever shank contains no hidden metal. It flexes when you walk, harmonizes with the arch of your foot which Nature designed to flex with every step. The Canti- lever flexible arch supports rest fully and healthfully; instead of re- straining and weakening the foot it permits muscular exercise and cir culation, which strengthens. So you avoid, or correct, weak arches. Dr. Douglas Stewart of New York says, "The foot is a cantilever spring" Surely that needs flexi- ble shoe-not rigid one.
 Keep your feet in trim The spring of eternal youth which Ponce de Leon sought, may have been the spring of Cantilever Shoes!
 Excellent quality; reasonable prices. We are the sole agents for Cantilever Shoes in this city.

ENGLAND FILES A COMPLAINT
AGAINST SEARCH OF
VESSEL.
BRITAIN is AROUSED
y. 5. FEDERAL AGENTS CLAIM
SHIP WAS RUM
RUNNER.

"ashlngton.-SeiZure by prohibition
enforcement officials of the Canadian
schooner Emerald off the New JERSEY
coast has been made the ground for
FORMAL protest by the British govern
ment, the contention being that the
vessel was outside American iurisdic-
tion.
Inc report received at prohibition
enforcement headquarters said the
emerald had been taken for alleged
liquor smuggling while in communica-
ton with shore from a point beyond
the three-mile limit The message did
not say specifically, it is understood,
that the Emerald's own boats were
plying between ship and Shore 1t was
assumed at the prohibition enforce
ment bureau that such was the case,
however, and that the ship, therefore,
fell within the recent government rul-
ing as to operations beyond American
territorial waters
The British protest, which was pre-
sented to the state department, is un-
derstood to assert that the Emeralds
boats were not in touch with shore
and that there was, therefore, no war
rant under the announced policy of
the American government itself for
interference with the Canadian craft.
There was nothing to indicate that the
statement that the Emerald was seized
eight miles off the coast would be dis
puted and the diplomatic correspond
ence apparently turns the question as
to whether the schooner was in touch
with shore through her own boats.
The case is the first of it's kind to
arise under the administration policy,
recently announced, of cOnfining pro-
hibitiOn enforcement operations strict
ly to the three-mile limit of territorial
waters, except in one circumstance, OF
a vessel beyond that limit, but sending
contraband shipments ashore in her
own boats. The American position in
that regard is held to rest on interna-
tiOnal precedent.
That the British authorities are con-
vinced the Emerald case does not fall
within the rule was made plain by the
lodged with the State Department.
Framing of the American reply neces-
sarily awaits an official report from
the Treasury Department setting out
the facts of seizure. Should that suS
tain the belief here that the ship was
using her own boats to reach shore
when seized, presumably the diplomat
ic phase of the incident would be
closed and the case be allowed by the
British to go to legal determination.
In view of the British refusal to con-
slider the working out of treaty to
permit search of suspected liquor
smuggling craft up to twelve miles off
shore, it appeared unlikely that the
Washington government would attempt
to defend automatically the more dras-
tic action of seizure beyond the three
mile limit except where the conditions
met the rule laid down

Does this smoker
know what he's
talking about?
He says the best pipe of the
day is the first one

A smoker from GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
who prefers to conceal his identity
under the initials AK" insists
that the after-breakfast pipe is far and
away the best pipe of the day.
"Of course" writes AK, "it
depends somewhat on the breakfast.
I couldn't get much joy out of pipe
after getting up from burnt oatmeal,
bad coffee, and soggy toast. But after
one of the breakfasts my wife can turn
out, that's different!
"Then when I step out on the porch
and light up the old pipe, I very nearly
approach the pinnacle of my day. AS
I figure it, one puff after breakfast is
worth dozen puffs after dinner.
Somehow the tobacco has flavor
early in the morning that it never
quite approaches later in the day.
cit may be that a cool pipe draws
better. I don't know. It may be the
tobacco or the pipe, or just me. I only
know that I like the first pipe of the
day the best.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am young
married lady, living in three rooms
which form a little suite in the home
of another woman. My things are
very pretty and my friends say they
never saw a more charming little
place" Only one thing annoys me.
The woman in whose house | live does
a great deal of cooking and the odor
from her food fills my rooms. In the
evening when friends come in the
smell of onions or fish embarrasses
me | have tried burning incense and
it helps, but it is rather difficult to
bring about the result | desire because
my little burner goes out so easily. |
have heard that the atmosphere of a
room can be sweetened by seeming
boiling water. How is that done?
MRS. l.. A. G..
To secure a spicy, fragrant odor, fill
a flat. shallow basin with boiling wa
ter and put in a teaspoonful of CHINA
mon oil and the spicy fumes will be
sen. out by the steam. II it is posi-
Bile to keep the vessel where it will
simmer, but not boil, the steam, be
ing longer retained, acts longer, and
the whole suite OF rooms may be per
fumed.
Oil of lavendar may be used in the
same way, as may any OF the pungent
rlavors. such as neToli, rhodium, etc.
The only trouble with the method is
that it is not especially attractive to
look at. and so cannot be done in the
presence of guests. However a room
once perfumed in this manner will re
tain the odor for several hours.
