Vacations and Vacations

With the changing years perhaps nothing has changed more than the manner in which people plan for and spend the summer months. Every one speaks of his vacation. Some lucky people appear to have the whole summer long for ldling-un- less one considers the changing o4 clothes and going from one pleasure to another as rather hard work.
 No one else, I suppose, enjoys a summer vacation quite so much as the children. When free from school they think of the summer time before them as one long. blissful period. If they tire of doing nothing in partic- ular, and would be better off for having some regular routine each day. they will not admit 1t, and res- olutely put September out of their minds.
 In the long ago time but few peo- pie took regular vacations. Life in our homes, whether in winter or summer, was much tho same, save as the weather affected conditions. At the spring housekeeping, carpets were taken up and there, underneath them. ready for summer wear. were the /mattings. Linen covers were put over the upholstered chairs and sofas, mirrors and chandeliers were encased in pink or white tarletan, blinds were bowed, and the houses not only had cool appearance, but also really were cool; but actual life went on about as usual.
 Summer boarding places did exist to be sEre, but they were not espe- cially numerous and few attractions were offered. Women gossiped and did needlework when they went away for few weeks, just as they do now; children were good or bad, bothersome or quiet. just as they are today; but no provision was made to keep them from squabbling among themselves or getting into mischief
 At the shore sea bathing was the chief diversion occupying a certain time of the day. Driving on the beach In the afternoon, when the tide was out, was another pleasure although the Jersey wagons; drawn by two horses, were not particularly elegant in appearance or comfortable to ride in. I have some old photo graphs that were taken at Cape May a good many years ago, show ing a family-father, mother, chill dren and nurse-ready for the morn inC bath In the ocean. Were people to appear now on the beach at any well-know summer resort clad as the people were at the time this picture was taken they would be followed and jeered at by crowd.
 The present fashions would have seemed outrageous to those good folks of long ago, but their proper garments, chin high and ankle long.

with one another in offering new suggestions or new thrills. There seems to be something to suit every one, man, woman or child.
 For the first there are golf links, good roads for touring, concrete ga rages, real chicken dinners" and out of-door sleeping places if indoors Is not good enough. If he is fisher man he may select a place where fishing Is unexcelled; if he likes mountain climbing, the mountains are ready for him, and if he prefers to climb them on the back of burro, the burros are provided.
 Women are apparently easier to please. The big hotels offer them chances to see the latest fashions and contribute their share to the parade, although they do not say so in so many words. If women prefer quiet CT places, there are old fashioned farmhouseS.
 As was to be expected, the scared battlefields of France have not been forgotten in the plans for the enter tainment--or shall say instruction? i? of the vacationist. 1 would rather believe that those who elect to go abroad for the purpose of seeing what man has done to devastate a country may go in the spirit of a pilgrim, and not as a mere tourist, simply curious to see with his eyes what he has read and heard about.
 Already tAere have been published guide books to the principal battle fields of Europe. Among them are stories of the first and second battles of the Marne, Amiens, Soissons. Lille, Verdun, St. Mihiel. Mouse and the Argonne. The visitors will soon be able to motor all about these famous places, seeing the country the sol- diers saw and reading. in the com fortable security of their cars, the story of the heroism of these men.
 There is no reason why they should not go. Many have gone to see the field of Waterloo; many of us here visit Lexington, Bunker Hill and Gettysburg. On all these old fields men fought, bled and died. We see no trace of what they did, but we should not forget it. If we visit the battlefields of Europe with the in- tention of remembering the sacrifices made upon them. then such trip will not be in vain.
 For everybody there appears to be some sort of vacation pleasure, a place to suit each one. There Is but one real requirement. toward the talk ing of q vacation according to the suggestions offered by these attrac- tive advisements; the same thing Is required for the wilder7 ess. for the shore, for the country or for the far away battlegrounds--a well filled pocketbook.

TWO EXPRESS cos

 IN RATE CUT CASE
Public Service Commission Will Have Express Con- panies Show Why Rates
 Should Not Be Reduced
By FRED H. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age-IIeraid, 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, July 12.-(special )- Express companies operating in Ala bama must come before the public service commission at the September meeting and show why their rates should not be revised and reason able rates established" A formal citation has been issued by the com mission directing the American Rail- way Express company and the Southeastern Express company to appear.
 The citation was in line with tho general policy of the commission now to determine whether or not the wartime prices should be reduced to a level established by the general lowering prices. The commission de- nied the petition of the Southeastern Express company for permission to discontinue two express messengers between Tuscaloosa and Montgomery and two between Tuscaloosa and Co., lumbus, Miss.
 Another Denial
 The petition of the Alabama Power company for the cancellation of the commissions order in the X.-ray case also was denied.
 The commission declined to order the Louisville and Nashville railroad to change the name of it's station at Robertsdale from Silver Hill to Rob- ertsdale. Silver Hill proper is a few miles away but the railroad agreed always to have the station now at Robertsdalei named Silver Hill.

would excite today ridicule too great for words to express. No one thought of trying to look attractive for the purpose of taking a bath; for they went In the water In those days and conscientiously tucked themselves.
 In the country vacation pleasures were just as simple. Croquet par ties, driving, archery in some places
 all these were satisfactory occupa- tions for well bred people. Men fished and tramped, sailed boats or climbed mountains, but there were comparatively few women equal to efforts of this sort. Woman then was too frail a creature to under take such strenuous amusements.
 What we shall do in the sweet by and by I have no idea; 1t Is too great a flight for my imagination to take. The present idea of summer enjoy ment has changed so much from what it rsas when I was a child that there is no saying or guessing what will be done when the children of today are grown up At any rate. I have been much interested, as well as entertained, in looking at the ad- vertisenents of summer attractions in certain newspapers. Places vie

 300 Davidson Building,


 Washington, July 12.-(Special.)- The pending tariff bill will be shelved if the republicans can make it appear that such action was necessary be- cause of democratic obstruction.
 This is clearly indicated today. Two New England senators, up for reelection, have returned from 8 visit to their constituents with infor- nation that the people are sore at heart and determined to show their resentment at the polls.
 Postpone this legislation until in effect, then we can pass it-in safety"

 Q. What makes the butter from my cows so white. soft and spongy? They run outside, but there is plenty grass in the woods. Mrs. S., Guin, Als.
 A. This condition may be cau~ed by hot water frequently used in gather ing butter. but the most frequent cause is the lack of substantial food high in protein, such as cotton seed meal or grain products. Give them a feed of whole cooked cotton seed orce day and big improvement will soon be noted. Work all the water out of your butter.

 A. The plants have evidently reached the age when their decline is but natural. No treatment would likely restore them, but you night try cutting them back a few inches, WoFk them, SUIT Tn llttle commer- cial fertilizer, dust them with a lit- tie sulphur and stir little lime into the soil.
 Q. have some evergreen euony- mus bushes that friend says are infested with scale. What spray would you recommend for this? J. F., Decatur, Ala.
 A. Kerosene oil emulsion or any of the miscible oil sprays reduced to the proper strength, as per labels, are very effective. It is important that the spray reach the wood in volved.

GIRL FILM STAR
 IS HELD UNDER
 APPRENTICE LAW

NEW YORK, Oct. l6.-The old legal from of indenturing an ap- prentice, even though the appren- tice be a 17-year-old girl, has not passed out of existence, it was dis closed today when Supreme Court Justice McCook upheld, under the ancient master and man" statutes contract made by Henry Durant an official of the Famous Players Lasky Corporation, with the father of Mary Astor, screen favorite whose real name is Lucille Lang hanke.
 Durant, who is a lawyer, per cciving screen possibilities in Miss Langhanke, undertook to obtain employment for her as a motion pie ture actress about year ago. Under the contract she was bound to him as an apprentice, to study and learn the screen art and he agreed to in struct her and find her places until she could earn $10O a week
 After that the contract, which her father signed, provided that Durant should receive 25 per cent of all her earnings over $100 until sha reached the age of 21.
 Now as Miss Astor, she has been offered a contract of $l,000 a week and Durant demands his quarter oi $900 a week. The father brought suit to annul the contract as not binding on minor, but after ex- amining the carefully drawn con- tract, Justice McCook, who said such a case had not arisen in these courts since 1894, decided that it is binding unless, on trial, the parents can prove that Durant is not quail fled to teach Miss Langhanke the motion picture art Since her in dendure to him she has been stared by Tri-Art Films in "Beggar Maid, ' Hope" "The Young Painter" and has been leading woman with Eu- gene O'Brien and Glenn Hunter.

Rent Was Lowered When Babies Cried Out

NEW YORK, Oct. 16. - Chiam his fellow men as one who quickly made the landlord regret raising the rent. Naturally thousands will ask immediately, How did he do it?"
 Well, it was easy. He merely started baby carriage garage to take in enough money to pay the raise. Came then this noisiesl youngsters in the neighborhood to be parked for the day-and the other tenants began moving to q quieter spot.
 It all came out in Harry Schlacht's East Sde Arbitration Court, at number 150 Delaney Street, when the landlord, Hyman Dickman, made a pathetic appeal to have Chiam thrown out of the house, which is in Attorney Street.
 Dickman raised Chiam's rent three dollars month, he admitted. Then Chiam had painted a big sign, Baby Carriage Garage and put it on the front door. East Side moth CTS responded in droves, leaving their bawilng offsprings while they went shopping or to the movies.
 "The noise of gall them babies is making my tenants mOve," said Dickman. 'I want this man thrown out of my house"
 What do you charge for taking care of the carriages? asked Judge Schlacht. sN
 Twenty-Five cents a week." re- piled Chism. splnetimes I have as many as fifty carriages a week"
 Then the Arbitration Court prov ed it's worth. By adroit questonine it was learned the landlord would give up the extra rent if his tenant would give up his perambulator garage. It was so settled.
