 In New York they know that ever since her debut in Goldmark's opera, Queen of Sheba," she has success fully filled many important roles and been the heroine in many premieres.
 When Mme. Rappold appeared as Sulamith in the Goidmark opera, it was one of those sensational nights which has never been forgotten.

Jefferson county will not have division of domestic relations in the circuit court. Unofficial announce ment was made in the Jefferson deIe- gation today that the movement for the creation of the division which would have central in all cases in volving women, children and domes- tic affairs would be brought to an end and that instead amendments would be made in the bills creating the juvenile court and providing for the handling of cases involving de sertion and non support by hus- bands
 In line with the agreement to pro- vide amendments for the present laws instead of creating another di- vision of the circuit court represen- tative Howze introduced two bills in the house during the afternoon. The bills are, said to meet the approval of persons interested in the juvenile court and to eliminate objections which were found in the proposal for the separate division.

 Some managers seem to dote on mysterious and complicated signals. They often carry it too far. Instead of giving these signs by moving the cap, rubbing the bat. or some such move one of the Boston managers used to give them by certain express sions.
 The most laughable one l ever knew was for the coach to yell out, .eRed Leary. the Bank Robber" That was the cue for the runner to steal.
 Getting back to bench management, I do not mean to say that 1 will never go on the field again during the training period There it is ab- solutely necessary that the manager put on a uniform and work out with the players. To observe them care fully and study their dispositions he must be right out among them.
 First on Grounds
 In the spring, though l am getting la little heavier and older, Iaiway s put on a uniform and go through every practice with the players They
  will testify to the fact that few ol them ever beat me to the grounds. l itry to get there first and stay until the last It is rather difficult to make young player try anything that he does not think the manager is willing to try.
 The example to these ambitious youths means lot. It peps them up to find that manager twice their age is always on the ground ahead of them and going through the same work that they are expected to do. It's tough on the manager, too- make no mistake about that-but he's got to go through.
 Often I have been called hard driver of men. 1 may be, but l never drive young fellow any harder than am willing to be driven myself. The few weeks of spring training are the most important of all. l will touch on that in the next chapter.

 Bremen and Police
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD r Montgomery. Ala Ian 02

Birmingham policemen and firemen will be put under civil service rules if the legislature enacts a bill intro- duced in the house Tuesday by Rep resentative Bowen. The bill requires the city commission of Birmingham, within 15 days after the bill becomes a law, to appoint civil service board of five members, which will hold ex- aminations at such times as may be necessary and make all selections to positions in the fire fand police de- partments.
 h order to make the civil service commission representative of Bir- mingham the bill provides that, if practicable, the membership of this commission shall be composed of one lawyer, one physician or surgeon, one school teacher or principal of a school. one man known as a business man and one who is known as a laboring man or as a member of or ganized labor. One appointed would serve one year .one two years, one three years ,one four years and one five years. and all would be eligible to. reappointment.
 The city commission Is given power to remove any member of the com mission for neglect of duty, incom- potency or malfeasance in office, but only after notice is given and a pub lie trial had.
 Provision Is made in the bill for a promotion and demotion committee of each department, which will make investigation of all charges against policemen and firemen and report findings to the civil service com mission, which will determine what action will be taken
 The civil service commission would have no authority to remove any memmer of the police or fire depart ment without charges being preferred in writing and without giving the ac- cused the right to meet the accusers and present evidence in his own de- ffense.

 Able authorities proved these methods. Then new-type tooth paste was created, based on mod ern research. These two great film combatants have come to millions by it.
 That tooth paste is called Pep sodent. Careful people of some 50 nations now employ it, largely by dental advice. New beauty and new safety have come to millions by it.
