HOLD ROBBERY SUSPECT


 One suspect in the robbery of the Five Points Drug company. Five Points, early Monday morning. when S463 in cash was stolen, was arrest ed Monday afternoon by Detectives George Bragan and P. c. Cole and placed in the city jail on a hold charge. Officers are making search for another man believed implicated. The first knowledge the police de- partment had of the daring rob- bery was when the manager opened the store for business Monday morn ing. He discovered the combination of the safe had been filed off and the money drawer rifled. There were several checks in an adjoining par tition, but the robbers failed to take them.
 Investigation of the store showed the robbers came down through the skylight after they had attached a piece of telephone wire to electric wires running directly below the sky light

INVENTIVE GENIUS MAKES CA[OM
 DELIGHTFUL
Most Valuable of Drugs, Now Purified and Refined From Its Nausea and Danger "Calotabs" the Name.

The medicinal virtues of calomel are in no way connected with its nauseatins and dangerous qualities. as is proven by the fact that the perfected calomel tablet, called Calotabs. is free from objection able effects yet retains all of the liver cleansing and system purifying qualities of the old-style calomel. For biliousness, constipation and indigestion, and wherever calomel was essential. the new de-naus- eated calomel tablet is practically perfect remedy.
 To inspire public confidence in their discovery the manufacturers have author ized druggists everywhere to refund the price if the customer is not 'perfectly delighted with Calotabs. Sold only in trade marked packages. Prices ten cents and thirty five cents. One tablet at bed time, with swallow of water, that's all. No taste no nausea, no griping, no salts You wake up in the morning with clean liver, feeling fine, and hearty appetite Eat what you please-no danger.-Adv.

MANGANESE CARGO
 BEING BROUGHT IN
Warrior Barges Carry Ore From
 British Steamer Afghanistan

Seven thousand six hundred tons of manganese ore, which arrived at Mo bile May 15 on the British steamship Afghanistan, is being rapidly loaded on barges and sent up the Warrior river to Birmingport. It then goes by fregiht over the Southern railway to Bessemer, where 1t is stored in warehouses.
 Manganese ore, which was hereto fore free from duty, is now dutiable, according to the new tariff act en- acted September, 1922, and a duty of l cent per pound Is placed upon every pound of manganese contained in the ore. This tax means a considerable increase in revenue to the govern ment and makes the customs office of more value and importance than 1t has formerly been, according to Jack Burke, head of the customs of flee here.
 Manganese ore. imported from Bra zii. is used for the manufacture or ferro- manganese, which in turn is used in the manufacture of steel.

I. |. |. HEAD OFF ON EUROPE FAN TRIP INDUSTRIAL STUDY George Gordon Crawford To Investigate New Foreign
 AdVanCementS
ENSLEY BUREAU ! THE AGE-HERALD Enslcy, Ala, June 25 ]

George Gordon Crawford, president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail road company, is in New York and will sail within a few days for an extended tour of Europe to make study of new industrial advancements which have been made in Germany and elsewhere in Europe since the war and engage in other interesting observations MT. Crawford has not been to Europe since he went there to study bi-product coke operations, which resulted in the introduction of the present extensive bi-product plants of the steel corporation. He was chairman of the committee which made an investigation and after many prolonged negotiations the steel corporation finally authorized the construction of one plant. It is possi- ble that Mir. Crawford while on this tour will bring back to America in dustrial suggestion quite as valuable as he has made in the past.
 It was the general opinion here Monday that the absence of MT. Crawford will not necessarily delay the continuation of plans already outlined in this district for the con- struction of valuable additions. His departure for Europe close on the sailing of Chief Engineer Freize is said to be without significance, al though 1t is probable that the presi- dent and his chief engineer will meet in Europe during the summer.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT LOEW'S BIJOU

An average bill is on tap for Bir- mingham theatregoers at Loew's Bi- jou theatre for the first half of the week. None of the acts are start lingly good nor startlingly bad. but measure up to the average standard of vaudeville acts being presented at the local Loew house. Silvers and Ross, offering a blackface nonsensi- cal act, drew the applause honors of the bill.
 MaXon and Morris on the first spot OH the bill offer novelty mannikin act that wins the favor of the audi ence at once. Not only is the act a novelty, but original music is used by the team and this adds greatly to their act
 The comedy of Lyons and Wake field went over the audiences head for the most part, but at dancing they rang up high score. This pair uoes some very difficult eccentric steps and got a warm reception from the audience Monday evening.
 Perhaps the most versatile vaude- William seen in Birmingham vaude- Vile circles in many months is Harry Berry of the act of Harry Berry and Miss. Berry proves himself to be a singer, jugsler, musician, dancer and acrobat. The Miss part of this act does her share also, being an accom- plished cornet player
 SllVers and Ross with their black race nonsense made an instantaneous mt Monday evening and were forced to give an encore. Their chatter is new and they put over their songs with good effect
 Eary and Eary, man and woman, close the bill with an acrobatic of fering that is quite out of the ordi- nary and very interesting. They per form aerobatic stunts with hoops that seem practically impossible for hu- man beings with bones in their bodies.

 MT; McFarlane, though obviously unable to drop American manner na1s, lsims Tor or, the difficult Italian dialect called for by the part of 'Lombardi, ," carried himself well by sheer his trlonlc talent. He was easily the shining light of the production. His work was finished
 Hazel Corinne was cast in a part which unfortunately did not fit her personality well.

 Edith Speare, as Phyllis Manning. Lombardfs recalcitrant sweetheart, who finally leaves for California. was probably the outstanding play er' at least sharing honors with Hazel Heading, who won many friends as Norah Blake, Lombardi's s assistant. Miss Reading showed a side not displayed last week, which. coupled with personality which causes her to grow on the audience. scored high honors for her.
 Helen Travers was excellently cast as Mrs. Warrington Brown, an inn patient customer Raymond Bramley was a good Robert Tarrant, man about-town. vflo ~lopes with Phyl- lis Sherold Page, flesh from Se- attle, was acceptable as Riccardo Tosello, the vermiceli king, who saves Lombardi's shop at the last moment, after he captures the hand of Daisy.

Berlin-Senators Edwin Laid,
N. Dakota and William King, Utah
and Representative James A. Frear,
Wisconsin, who arrived here Tues
day, prepared Wednesday to leave
for Moscow Saturday, via Warsaw.
The party, accompanied by an argi-
culture expert, an interpreter and
a secretary, conferred with Col. Will
liam N. Haskell, who is en- route to
Switzerland from Moscow, where he
directed the operations of the Amer
lean relief administration.
The party mapped out an intinerary
which provides for spending the first
week III Moscow. There they will
charter special car and go possibly
as far as Siberia, returning along the
course of the Volga. Then they will
go to Armenia and Georgia, skirting
the Black sea to Odessa, thence to
the Ukraine and Kiev ard back to
Moscow for another week before
starting for home by way of Petro-
grad.
Senator King said the party would
investigate the Russian economic sit
uation and would also look ilto re-
ligious and political questions for
their own enlightment, in the event
Russian affairs were discussed in the
Eext congress.
1t is estimated the trip will require
seven weeks. The travellers brought
canned food and medicine chest in
Guiding "cootie" powders. Upon their
return to Germany the investigators
plan to spend week in the Ruhr.

TEACHERS ORGANIZATIONS
WILL PUSH MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

M.adison-"Every teacher in the
state member of the Wisconsin
Teachers association" is the slogan
the association has adopted for a
membership campaigns which will be-
gin simulta Nc ,usly with the opening
OF the schools his fall.
There are approximately 10000
teachers in the public and private
schools of the state, of which only
1000 are members of the associa-
ton.
Teachers will never receive sal
aries commensurate with THE train
ing their profession requires until
they combine their strength and in
fiuence," said E. G. Doudna, secre-
tary of the association, who announ-
ced plans for the eampaig..
"The teachers must get into poll
tics, they must present solid front
to the legislature; they must work to
the end that men friendly to edcua-
tion are elected to public Offices"
City and county associations will
be used in transmitting campaign
propaganda to all nonmember
teachers.
The association was first organi-
zed 70 years ago this mo.lth, four
years prior to the organization Of the
National Education association. 1t
was reorganized in 1921. It's origi-
nal membership numbered eight;
in 1922 it numbered 1871, repre-
seiting 100 local organizations.
