At the point of a pistol, four ban dits held up and robbed the cafe of George Hagapin, 2026 Avenue B. at 9:30 o'clock Sunday night and escaped with the contents of the cash register, said to exceed S90
 Several pedestrians hurrying home during the binding rain of the night passed the cafe while the holdup was in progress, although none of them took eognzance of it. After complet- ing their mission, the four highway men sprang into waiting automo- bile, parked at the curb with the mo- tor running, and made their escape.
 Pedestrians on Twentieth street, south. at Avenue A, stated that a rapidly moving automobile grazed the side of a Highland street car, al though the auto never slackened its speed. It is believed that the car was the same used by the bandits in their escape.
 Detectives T. N. Williamson and O. D. Brown arrived upon the scene few minutes later and conducted an investigation. but found no tan gible clues. Hagapin was unable to give accurate descriptions of the men or of the car.
 Hagapin said that the four men came into his establishment and or dered light lunches, the charges for which amounted to $1.05. Hagapin said that one of the men offered him the. money, and that simultaneously another pressed a pistol Into his side with the command to "hands upr' The other two then rifled the regis ter No merchandise in the store was di sturbed No arrests had been made late Sunday night.

Fauorite Recipes
 of Famous Men
By SEWELL FORD, Author
 A F lNrx.

An army fry is dish which dates back to the Civil war, perhaps to the Revolutionary unpleasantness. l learned the difficult art of preparing it from my father, who, as a member of the First Maine cavalry's scouting squad, was often late for meals and forced to cook his own or go without. That was a crude war. you know. Salt pork and hardtack were the stand ard marching rations. but the sea sened trooper generally had a few potatoes and sometimes an onion or two in his saddlebags, as we'll. Having all three-the salt pork, po- tatoes and onions, you can make an army fry if you know how.
 Peel and slice your onions while your fire is burning up. Have handy rather deep, frying pan with a closely fitting tin cover. Heat the pan. Drop in some slices of salt pork. Fry until the pork begins to brown, but not longer. Dump in the sliced potatoes and onions, about two pota- toes to one onion. Salt and pepper jLdiciously. Pour in cold water until the top slices are nicely submerged. Put on the cover. Then allow the combination to. simmer for 20 or 25 minutes over a slow fire. And there you are. Boston crackers, pilot bread, or even bakers bread goes well with this and, of course, coffee.
 An army fry, let me warn you, is wholly unsuited for midnight studio repasts. It. is not kitchenette dainty. I do not recommend it for family gatherings at the old home stead The army fry belongs, as Harold Bell Wright would say, to the great wide open spaces. where men are men and every mans cook.

AUBURN DAIRY BUREAU. PLANS TO STIMULATE
 INDUSTRY IN ALABAMA

AUBURN, Ala, Jan. 14.-(Special.) awarding production certificates to any Alabama dairyman selling either milk or cream by the dairy division here, according to William Hardie, dairy specialist for the extension service.
 The purpose of this arrangement is to give recognition to any farmer or dairyman meeting the require ments, and also to be of service to them in improving the quality of their herds and in feeding for bigger profits.
 In outlining the requirements MT. Hardie said; "The only thing neces- sary is for anyone shipping or sell ing milk or cream to keep daily rec ords of each cow on blanks which will be furnished by Auburn, and have sample of each cows milk tested once each month. This testing may be done by the county agent, by local creamery, by sending samples to Auburn. or by d teacher of vocational agriculture, arrange ments for this having been made with Prof J. B. Hobdy of Mont gomery. director of vocational agri- cultural work in Alabama"
 In addition to the certificate itseir this plan will enable farmers or dairymen to weed out their unpro- fitable cows. and if sending Tn their records they will report the amount and kind of feed they are using the dairy division here will be able to give them specific informa- tion as to what changes they should make, if any. in their feeding to in- crease their profits.
 The work in each county will be under the direction of the county agents. For the state as a whole MT. Hardie will have charge.

BANDITS HOLD UP ANDI PACKARD STRIPPED OF ROB PROPRIETOR OF ALL ACCESSORIES AND
 CAFE ON S0UTHSIDEI DEFACED BY THIEVES

With every accessory stolen or ruined to such an extent as to make it valueless, the Packard twin--six automobile, stolen Saturday night from Robert J. Foster of the Iron City Grain company, was found by the owner through information fur nished by police, near the Sayreton pike, in North Birmingham, where it had been abandoned by the thieves early Sunday morning.

MEMBERS TO SUGGEST NEW NAME FOR THE. INDEPENDENT CHURCH

When members of the Independent Presbyterian church attend service next Sunday morning they will be asked to fill out blank cards and sug- gest a new name for their church, and the executive board of the church will consider all suggestions and at the following Sunday morning serv- ice will make it's recommendation as to the name deemed most suitable, according to announcement made by Dr. Henry M. Edmonds, pastor of the church, at the Sunday morning serv- ice.
 An Ancient Romance" was the sub ject of Sunday mornings sermon at the new church, based On the story of the winning of Rebecca by Isaac. son of Abraham, who had sent q trusted servant to the land of his fathers, Mesopotamia, to find a wife for his son, and the text of the ser mon was And he loved her." Genesis 2427.
 At our age we are apt to feel that faith does not amount to very much,' said.Dr. Edmonds. Young people of this day want action, adventure. But, run over in your mind the men of action in the history of the world and J men of action were men of God. Life
 is a great tester of truth and when a thing is true, life is great demon- stration. When you find man who speaks lightly of the things of the other world, you also find that later, in many cases, they have put their hands to paper and said: Unseen doors are open; unseen things are be- coming clearer"
 Dr. Edmonds called attention to Darwin's last letters. and to such men of action as Lloyd George and Lord Balfour, whom he termed "de- voted Christians" and he declared that religion is the only atmosphere in which men of action can live, that Christ is the only builder who can mold tEe human clay.
 At the evening service at the Lyric theatre pr. Edmonds, in place of the sermon, told the story Cf Tolstoi's Resurrection" drawing a graphic picture of each character and de- lineating the effect of higher ideal on the principal characters.
 Preceding the sermon the chorus of 50 trained voices was heard in two anthems, "The Eternal God Is Thy Refuge" by John West, and ''We Pay Thee, Gracious Lord" by Philip James, and Mrs. May Shackelford rendered the offertory solo, Blessed Are the Meek" by Ward Stephens.

CITY OFFICIALS GO
 TO MONTGOMERY TO PRESENT BILLS.
Will Attend inauguration of Governor Brandon Public Utilities Bill Will Be Pre-
 Sented by League

Four commissioners and other city gomery Monday to witness inaugural ceremonies for Governor elect w ". Brandon, and some of them will re- main there through Tuesday when two bills sponsored by the city will be presented to the legislature.
 The bill to return control of public utilities to cities will be presented, according to announcement a week ago by Commissioner w. L. Harrison, by Birmingham officials and repre- sentatives of the League for Muni cipal Control. The measure is said to have the indorsement of 20 Ala hama cities. many of which are ex pected to be represented by of ficials.
 Fight Expected
 A hard fight is expected on the bill, according to MT. Harrison, who is chairman of the league, but he predicted that it would pass. City Attorney w. J. Wynn is secretary of the league, and other members of the lt gislative committee aresO. B. Hill, Jr.. city attorney of Florence, and Harry T. Hartwell, city commits sioner, Mobile.
 The bill to enable cities to enact building zoning ordinances will be presented by Birmingham as a gem eral measure, and is said also to have general favor throughout the state. City Attorney Wynn has framed this measure and he said he believed it would meet with little opposition in the legislature.
 If passed. it will give cities au thority to restrict industrial sections, regulate height and uses of buildings, and require uniformity in residence alignmeats. It will carry as separ- ate authority to segregate races This power has been declared invalid by United States courts, but it is con- tained as a separate section so that if it's validity iss attacked other sec tions will not be affected.
 Court of Appeals
 The bill for creation of municipal court of appeals will not be pre- sented Tuesday, according to City Att torney Wynn. Conferences will be held with Jefferson county legis- lators. and future program regarding this measure will probably be de- termined.

City At torney W. J. Wynn, Assistant City Attorney W. NJ Woodall and other officials are also expected to attend the inauguration.

DIR. MORGAN SPEAKSl ON SECRET OF WORSHIP TO CAPACITY CROWDI
JASCHA HEIFETZ

Declaring that with the interposi- tion of Jesus Christ every man is his own priest, and there is no longer any secret place of worship, pr. P. c. Morgan addressed a capacity au- dience at the First Methodist church Sunday morning. His subject was, The Secret of Worship" and his text was rent in twain from the top to twenty y-seventh chapter of Matthew: And behold the veil O. t.so temple was rent in twain from tht top to the bottom"
 In order to understand this pas- sage of scripture, we must assume the mental attitude of the customer and the symbolism in which he dealt,p said Dr. Morfgan, In the Book of Exodus we have a descrip tion of the veil to which Matthew refers here in our text. In it we have three colors, blue, scarlet and purple. To the customer the blue in the veil symbolized heaven, the scarlet the purest things of earth and the pur- pie the blending of both.
 .If we would get the significance of the veil, we must observe the posi- tion of it in the ancient Hebrew tenn pie. There was an outer court and an inner court in which the people gathered to worship God. Directly in front of the people hung this veil of gorgeous colors. To the rear ot the veil was the holy of holies where God dwelt. Since the holy of holies was the place where God dewlt, and since the people were sinful and un- worthy, they could not pass beyond the veil into the presence of God. This condition brought about the priesthood.
 ",The text says that the veil was rent in twain; we are curious to know why this beautiful veil was rent; this we cannot understand un less we get a mental picture of the event which was transpiring on the hill of Golgotha. It was the ninth hour and Jesus was hanging upon the cross reconciling the world to God. He combined in His personality the complete significance which the colors of this veil symboliZed. His personality was the blending of the best of heaven and the best of earth. He was Gods anointed on a mission of salvation to the peoples of earth. The rending of the veil and thus the revelation of the holy of holies for the first time to the people was sym bolic of the new relation which men should sustain to God.
 Heretofore it was impossible to approach God except through an inter- mediary. Now because of the interpo- sition of Jesus every man becomes a priest and has direct access to His Heavenly Father. Today We do not need to go into the church building to worship God, for wherever we are, on the street, in our business, in the home, We can commune with Him. Do not misunderstood me and think that I mean to do away with the church. The writer of the epistle to the Hebrews says, Neglect not the assembling of yourselves together; therefore, we must congregate our selves at certain times for the pur pose of worshiping God"
