Black satin Hats.

The number Of black satin hats worn
with light summer gowns Is noticeable
ut Atlantic City. These hats have
some neutral trimming. such as q
bronze ornament standing straight up
In front or few large white flowers,
Once upon a time the all-white hat
was the only heaigear permissible
with a sheer and pastel gown. As q
matter OF fact. the black hat Is much
more effective because 1t is greater
contrast with the delicate tlnts.

ganizati0ns necessary to form the
basis for complete and immediate
mobilization for the national defense
In the event Of national emergency
declared by congress"
So far as the defense of the conti-
mental United States Is concerned. the
law evidently contemplates as a min
imum requirement for security that
the country should be definitely organ
lied TO prevent an invasion In force at
the outbreak of hostilitfes.
The military experts say that before
the World war such definite and COM
prehensive plan was impracticable.
Our military resources were too linn
tied and there was no legal sanction
for the development of such system.
Since the World war, with the large
number Of wartralned officers avail
able, with the initiation of system
for the training Of younger men ul-
timately to replace them, with more
adequate sources OF, military eoIip-
ment and material, and with settled
legal sanction for the development and
training Of our traditional citizen army
in time of peace, the general staff has
been able to prepare definite plans for
what has aptly been termed "A Ma
tional Position In Readiness" Under
this plan, the military organizations
required to secure critical landing
places on the coast line and favorable
lines Of advance upon the land from
tiers can be definitely formed and pre-
pared.

. II PERSONS IMPLICATED, IN
 MURDER OF BOY
Barrett Believed to 4ay Been Victim of Foul Piay-LocaI Detective
 Agency Employed

Hezzie Boozer. Bill Cody, Fred Henley, Robert Tippett Charlie Levy. Miss Jewel Popwen. white. and fGeorge Williams and velma Stafford, negroes. were arrested and placed in gails yesterday on charge of murder in connection with the death of Dewell Barrett of Dollar, Coosa county. The Barrett boy disappeared during the latter part of January and nothing was heard of him until Sunday, February 12, 1922, when his | body was found in Hatchett creek in i Coosa county.
 After the boys disappearance ' which occurred on the night of Jan auary 23, 1922. foul play was sus- foected. and Hatchett and Wegufka yfall of the parties arrested worked, i were dragged in the hopes of find Ting the body.
 } The boys body was found in the creek on February 12. coroner's investigation was immediately called and as a result it was found that the boy had been dead for about two weeks, but had only been in the water a short time and blood that ran from the body after he had been been hit in the head with blunt instrument, and had caked on the body was still there. proving. ac- eording to the coroner that the boy was not drowned.
 County Solicitor Felix Smith, of Coosa county immediately came to Birmingham and placed the case in the hands of the Bodeker National Detective agency. The Bodeker peo- pie detailed J. B. Cole and Ed Rich ardson to the case.
 The officers went to work on the case immediately and according 60 their report, the body had been tied down to make it appear water soaked in the hope that the drowning theory would work.
 Barrett was last seen, it is said, in the camp on the night of January g, in company with Fred Henley, Robert Tippett, Bill Cody and Miss Jewel Popwell a young school teacher of Clanton. According to the of- ficers the theory is that young Bar rett was killed on account of others being jealous of his attentions to Miss Popwell.

FOOLISH WIVES OF HISTORY
Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette was the law
full and official wife Of Louis the
tifteenth-now called Louis the
Ounce. A ounce in the oldcn
days meant the same thing as
at present. King Louis and Marie
lived in Paris and spent tier
week ends on goldfish pond
near Versailles. The pond was
twenty per cent stuff and the
fish real eighteen carat. The
home in Paris contained so many
rooms that Marie used to call
her maid on the long distance
phone and when making hot
cakes in the morning for the
crowd that usually slept there
the cook creased the skillet with
a motor cycle. Louis was rare
and royal spender and was con
tent on having continuous good
time even if ii cost the French
people every cent they had. One
day, while Louis and Marie were
arguing on how to avoid saving
any money, there was rumble out
side the royal window
An hour later, Marie was on
her way to the local hoose-gow
and several days later underwent
an operation by DIR. Guillotine
which made her so mad she lost
her head. Louis lasted a little
longer and finally carried a lily
TO the local burying ground.
Marie will long live in history
as the best looking dead one in
Paris-cit Of live ones.

Eureka! Eurekal Yes, if that

California, it certainly has an
echo equally as vibrant of Joy as
that cry sent out on the finding
of gold seventy and some years

sent men rushing westward seek
ing fortune. The poor aspired to
be rich, the weak to be strong,
and the restless sought peace.

fair a land would not help us to

hadn't been swept or the furni-
turc busted.
But do you remember how on
the old Defiance, we sat on com
fortably cushioned seats, facing
one another, chatting socially to-
gether and getting acquainted
with our island neighbors whom
we could meet in no other way
We all went to the city frequent
ly in those days and made friends
on the boat, and exchanged re.
ceipts and neighborhood gossip,
and helpful hints and farm and
garden knowledge and general in
formation that was valuable all
around
And il you had come a long
way to reach the boat and came
aboard chilled and miserable, do
you remember how the cold
Man" (grouchy old fellow they
called him, but he kept a warm
heart under his Jacket or our
genial captain John, would invite
you down to the little galley
mess room for a cup of hot cot
fee and bit of toast, or mayhap
a fresh egg and slice of ham
fresh from the hot skillet! Or
maybe it was something else that
was hot and cheering but it was
hospitality of the good old fash
ioned kind that you found if you
needed it
But people grumbled about the
boat service. They wanted a bet
ter boat and the Daily was
built and put on the run--new
and shining.
She was more formal than the
Defiance had been, and we sat
with our backs to one another.
There was less chance to chat
with everybody as we had done
before and some Of us whilcd
away the time by whiting the
new wood work or by cutting
our initials in the mahogany fin
ished wood, or otherwise defac-
ing the newness Of the boat. Aud
the cold Man. who had built it
and loved it was grouchy!
They all carried freight-thesa
Mcdowell boats, and we grumbl-
ed because we had to wait at
the dock while the freight was
being transferred to and from the
boat, but we could get hay land
ed at any dock fer fifty cents
a ton, freight costs, and other
freight at correspondingly low
rates.
And then came smooth tongued
men who told us what great
things the county commissioners
would do for us in the way of
ferries if we would vote for
them, and we voted!
All, but wouldn't we Mauryites
and East Siders like to see the
old Mcdowell boats back on the
run again
However, taking it all for all,
if grmbling counts for any
thing, collectively speaking, we
are getting just what was coming
to us, but Individually, the pres
ent boat non-service hits some of
us pretty hard, and it remains to
be seen how long we are going
to passively endure the present
state of no transportation on our
side Of the island.
