we give mother for Christmas than to
buy her a cabinet phonograph-one

lions in record, roll or sheet music
form. And what marvellous display
they have here of musical instru-
ments from the finest pianos to the
jazziest saxaphones or clarinets. For
a genuine Merry Christmas there are

first issue will reach them about
Christmas time. The Cheer-Ups have

FAIRY SHRIMP

Prof. Henry c. Chalmers, superin-
tendent of Wildwood public schools, is
exhibiting with a marked degree of
pride a great curiosity here in the
shape Of three fairy shrimp. They
were found in a pool of water near
the home of Charles r. Page, on Young
avenue, by his son Charles. Mr..
Chalmers says fairy shrimp have
never been seen before South of Tren-
ton and Woodbury.. The glass jar con-
tanning the marvellous little creatures
is on exhibition in the library at the
high school and a book containing a
description of these diminutive u
tacean forms. 1t is most interesting
to watch their ciliary movements.
When the professor was asked what
these fairy-like shrimp feed upon he
said frankly that he did not know.
His questioner suggested that prob
ably they fed upon animalculae? "Per-
haps so" Mr.. Chalmers replied.

SENATOR BRIGHT INTRODUCES
BUS BILL

How much can you carry is the
question an applicant for an omnibus
license must answer when he pays
his fee, if Senator Bright's Senate
Bill 256 is made a law. The amount
of license fee he must pay will depend
no longer on how many he can seat"
but how many he can carry" This
means that the fees paid for licenses
will be larger because the seating
capacity, as herein defined, will be
larger for every omnibus than seat
ing capacity as it has been heretofore
used. Therefore a man who had a bus
with a standing capacity of 20, but a
seating capacity of 10, will under the
new law pay a license fee on the basis
of 20 passengers instead of on the
basis of 10. The bill incidentally
shows the tendency on the part of the
Legislature to think of the public as
being carried rather than being seated.

HUNTSVILLE MAN WANTS MADISON COUNTY JAIL L2-CENT TAX ON GASOLINElI HAS ONLY 18 PRISONERS
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD
 Montgomery. Ala, Jan. 5

E. N. Everett of Huntsville, in letter to Gov-Eelect w. w. Brandon, made public here, states that he is strongly in favor of a 2-cent tax be- ing levied on gasoline at the first meeting of ths legislature to supple ment the present highway bill
 This" he says, would allow ahe present automobile tax (which will increase each year with the cemp1e- tion of more permanent highways and the fast returning to normal times) to be applied entirely for interest and sinking fund to take care of bonds as they fall due, and to then continue building county seat to county seat highways.
 This plan would provide the means to eventually build all connecting links throughout the state, which Was the understanding when the highway bill was presented to the voters and so strongly indorsed by them It the polls. rss
 This gasoline tax, Together with the above arrangement, will in a very few years give Alabama the best sys- tenn of fine highways to be found in the entire south, and provides q way to maintain them forever, which will prove the best investment to the own CTS of automobiles ever known, more mileage, less repairs, etc.
