issued by DR.. j. j.
Bowling, d i S t r i c t
health officer. He says,
also, that Birmingham is
swarming with deadly mos
quitoes, ready to carry dis
ease and death into our
homes. We must protect
ourselves against this horde of
poisonous insects. How? It's
a simple matter and will cost
each individual but little. Go
to your drug or grocery store
and get a bottle of KILL
PEST. 1t is guaranteed to
kill every insect, fly and mos
quito in your home. 1t is used
and recommended by eminent
health authorities. Be sure
that you get KILL-PEST-
and accept nothing else. 1t
has no equal-that's why
there are many limitations.

One by one states of the north and
east which placed ban on Alabama
state bends after the debt settle
ment following the Civil war are
recognizing their value again, &C
cording to reports received at the
capitol. HarWell G. Davis, attorney
general, today received Information
that the Legislature of Maine had
passed bill amending the law per-
hitting Maine savings banks 20 in
vest in securities, the amendmen mt
giving the banks the right to invest
their funds in the bonds of Alabama
and other states.
Until the bill became a law the
Maine banks had no legal authority
to purchase Alabama bonds, this au-
thority having been withdrawn when
the states of the north and east con-
strued the debt settlement at the
close of the Civil war as repudi-
alton of the states obligations. His
tory records the fact that the debt
settlement commission declined 10
recognize Illegally of large
amount of state bonds issued by the
alien government which followed the
close of the Civil war. The conten-
ton at the time the commission de-
clined to recognize the bonds was
that they were disposed of by per-
sons who had no right to speak for
the people OF the state.
Under the law now in effect in
Maine the savings banks have au-
thority to invest their funds in any
securities of states which have not
during the past ten years failed to
meet the interest and principal OF
any state debt for a period longer
than 80 days. State officials do not
recall that the state government has
ever defaulted in the payment of in
terest and principal of its securi-
ties since the debt settlement became
effective.

REMARKABLE RECORD

There were some minor sensations
in the major leagues yesterday.
Howard Ehmke pitched a no-run,
one-hit game against the Yankees.

to o; Cy Williams pounded out a pair
of homers in the Phillies' game with
the Dodgers, who went down to
crushing defeat. IL to 3, and Jack
Scott shut out the Braves. winning
for the Giants, 10 to 0. The Pirates
defeated the Reds, 4 to 3, going a
game and a half ahead of their op-
ponents and five and a half behind
the Giants.
Ehmke was robbed of the honor of
pitching two no-hit games in success
sion by the awkward bounce of a
sharply hit ball from the stick of
Witt. Yankee center fielder. Howard
Shanks, Red Sox third baseman, was
the victim of the crooked hop. But
for that Ehmke would have accom-
plished a feat never before recorded
to the credit of any pitcher in base
ball history.
Cy Williams homers came in the
seventh and eighth innings and In
creased his home-run record for the
season to thirty-seyen, two ahead of
Babe Ruth.
Kelly was the hero of the Giants
victory. He scored a homer, a two
bagger and two singles out of four
times at bat and turned in three runs.

About six feet from the net is the
ideal position. Don't rush in like a
mad man and stand over the net,
giving your opponent a chance to
pass or lob over you. Meet the
ball, when you volley, higher than
the. net, if possible, and try always
to make your stroke finish the point.
The deeper you volley the better in
most cases, but don't try to volley
from farther back than your own
service line, unless you are excep-
tionally skillful at it, as it is very
difficult to do. A "half-volley" is
used only as a defensive stroke and
a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as bunt
in base ball--is a fine attacking
stroke, but if not done we'll is liable
to lose the point.
