 Hams and Miss Annie Williams, the
 sister of Colonel Williams, who were
 instantly killed when a Southern
 railway train struck their automo-
 bile near Durham, N. c, Wednesday afternoon, were brought to Mont gomery Friday. They were met at the station by large delegation of citizens of Montgomery, about 50 members of the American Legion. of which Colonel Williams was a mem-
 Der and a great majority of the Civ itan club, of which Colonel Williams was a leader. Funeral arrangements could not be completed during the afternoon due to the non-arrival of the only child of Colonel Williams, Miss Eleanor Williams, who was visiting her grandmother in New York at the time of the accident. Special com mittees have been appointed by va
 rious women's clubs of Montgomery
 to attend the funeral. Mrs. Williams
 was president of the Ionian club and
 was an active member of the Press and Authors club and Twentieth Gen. tury club.
 Marion Rushton, commander of the Montgomery post, has issued a gen.
 eral request to all members of the
 post to attend the funerals. Colonel
 Willie ms became connected with the
 Montgomery post on his return from

 Arrangements were perfected with the city commission yesterday for opening of all the concessions at East Lake park to the visitors, their hosts and wives and daughters from 1 o'clock to In the afternoon of Wednesday.
 Up to noon yesterday there had been 700 formal acceptances of the invitation to attend the convention, and they were still coming in by every mail. The committees are more and more certain that they did not err in providing for a minimum of 2,000 visitors. They are coming from Florence and Sheffield to south of Montgomery and from the eastern and western boundaries of the state.
 That the coming convention will eclipse any of the past Is a foregone conclusion with all who have charge of the arrangements.

 The court room was crowc to the doors and regardless of the eau ton of Judge J. D. Fatheree that there be no demonstration which ever way the verdict might be, when it was announced that the jury was ready to report, the finding of the jury was received with cheering, hundreds surging forward to shake the defendants hand.
 The theory of the defense was that the shooting of Mrs. Reilly WIS ac- cidental while she was endea' bring to take a pistol from her husband, who was In an intoxicated condi- ton, while attending physicians testified that the wounds inflicted from the pistol bullets were not the cause of death, but that death was due to acute heart trouble.

 A Show For You A lot of people-men and women have been working for your benefit along that line since last April. They
 are the 35 members of the Mothers circle at Woodlawn. and the mer- chants of Birmingham; and today, in 1 conjunction. they are putting on a
 sane dress week.
 In the show windows of Birming- ham stores, these exhibits for the teen-age girls will be placed until rext Thursday: and you are invited and urged to stand in front of these windows as long as you desire untll you absolutely are sure you have the details of correct dress in your mind
 Mrs. J. P. Levvy, president of the Mothers circle, declared yesterday
 that all merchants are well supplied
 with such latest style garments,
 many of which are already on display
 Sunday morning ministers in the
 churches will urge mothers and girls and congregations to take note of sane dress week."
 For 12 years the Mothers circle has done child welfare work by educa- tion. Said Mrs. Levvy:
 We feel all girls like to dress in
 the prevailing styles, and they should take great pride in looking attrac- | tive, but many of them do not know | the art of dressing. nor do they un- derstand what constitutes we'll dressed woman. (Perhaps they have not had the advantage of a Mothers | circle.)
 Weeks Slogan 'The slogan for the week is, Beauty of outline and color, neat ness. modesty, inconspicuousness. and. last but not least, appropriate
 ness to the occasion.' The outline of | a girls dress includes top and bot | tom of dress, which should be neither
 too high nor too low, for short skirts

 fashion makers decree that skirts shall be long. However, Il inches run tio HUT ououiu pc SnoIl enouS II | to satisfy the most exacting, except

Mobile, August 25-(Special.)-1n vestigations conducted during the past few weeks in Alabama by the pure food and drugs division of the Department of Agriculture show bad eggs are being placed on the mar kets and the retailers, through ig- norance, are disposing of them to their patrons, according to a state- ment yesterday by David c. Cox of the state office. who is In Mobile. MT. Cox seized 90 dozen eggs, all of which had been shipped to a Mobile firm from point in Mississippi.
 Unless the shipper claims the eggs within 30 days a court order to de- stroy them will be asked. At this time of the year we are finding many bad eggs in the state," said MT. Cox. Every dealer in Alabama should candle the eggs before putting them on the market"

 M0desty Necessary
 "The greatest virtue possessed by woman is modesty, quality that should be inborn in every girl and nurtured and sustained through life. I have heard it said that a woman without modesty Is woman without virtue.' That may be going a little strong, but can woman be consid- cred modest who Is seen making her toilet in the streets or in front of show windows? Do not these personal attentions belong in the privacy of ones boudoir? Modesty Is the attri- bute most admired by men In the op- posite sex; in fact, everyone admires a modest young girl. Neat and well groomed'-how much that expression conveysl
 "The hair should be neatly ar ranged, not bulging out on either side, thus deforming the head that God usually has made shapely. The finger nails should be well kept, the lips the natural color, while the hose should be of good silk without run ners up and down.
 "A well-dressed lady Is never con spicuous. Particularly, when one must wear a dress or hat long time and for many occasions, conservative things should be chosen. Loud, flashy clothes are usually an outrage to re- fined taste.
 Dress for Occasion
 Each work demands it's special tools, so each position requires ap- propriate dress. Party dresses, Gauzy waists and satin slippers do not harmonize with the school rooms or work rooms of younger girls.
 "If one wears her best clothes to work and school, what will she wear on dress occasions? A few years ago, not to have Sunday clothes was lis- tie short of disgraceful.
 So in selecting clothes this fall season, let's give some thought to these essentials, so that criticism will not be necessary. and when we meet crowd of girls we can exclaim, with one accord, 'creation's destiny" |"
