WINDOWS CHANGE AS WINTER COMES;
 MERCHANTS PLAN
Statement June 30,
 REcna

Winter is coming. The most un- mistakable sign of all is now in evi- dence. Shops that dispense habili- ments have snatched the lighter fab ric garments from view and are making ready for the great displays of. things to be worn in cold and colder weather. sAsasa
 The big stores are having the hardwood floors of their display wni- dows sandpapered and vanished. new racks and pedestals put in and generally smartening the back grounds of the suits and other things to be put so inVitingly before the eyes of the masculine public.
 Winter things for the ladies have been in evidence for weeks, hats the mode toques and the broader head gear with the decorations that de- light the hearts of the buying sex.
 Signs of winter are in town. Vans with goods are moving all about as the trains bring in the great ship ments that the buyers bought on their trips to the producing centers and interesting packages are being open ed in the back parts of the big stores and out on the sidewalks in front of che smaller ones.
 Judging from the interest, Quan- tity and fine packing cases, Birming- ham merchants have their hearts set on a great fall and winter business and all are getting ready for what the men in position to know say will be one of the best mercantile years in the history of the city.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
 IS URGED BY THOMAS
Playground And Athletic Field De-
 clared Ideal Places For Training

Stressing the need of athletic ac- tivity in the public schools was made before the institute of city principals and supervisors by Homer l.. Thomas. physical director of the Birmingham public schools. The institute has been in session at the administra- tion building of the school board for the past three days.
 Physical endeavors must be main tained to safeguard and build up the strength and health of the coming generation" said MT. Thomas. 'W e must not speak of the activities as physical training but physical educa- ton, for this course is what will be taught in the public schools during the coming semester. The training develops both mind and body"
 The playground and athletic field are the ideal places for the teaching of citizenship and through centered athletic activities can we hope to make good citizens, the greatest as- set to a community, rather than poor health a greater liability" said MT. Thomas
 MT Thomas urged that every teach CT in the public schools cooperate with the physical education depart ment in the extent of teaching the fundamentals of personal hygiene, health and cleanliness

COTTON CONTINUES
 TO SHOW UP BADLY
Wire Company Report Says Rains Delay Corn Crop: Wheat Good

In spite of increased acreage, 1t Is very problematical whether this yearls cotton crop will exceed last years to any great extent due to in sect and weather damage continu- ing, according to the crop report of the American Steel and Wire com pany for the week ending Septem- Der 8.
 The report says: "The past week as whole has been nearer to nor mai as regards temperature than the previous one. Considerable rain over large areas of the country. This is delaying ripening of corn to some extent. The corn crop still requires from 10 days to three weeks to ma ture. If corn escapes frost the crop will be a large one.
 "The cotton situation has not im- proved. Insect and weather dam age continue. It is very problemati- cal whether this years crop will ex- ceed last years to any great extent in spite of increased acreage. Wheat and oats in the far northwest are yielding even better than the earlier very promising reports indicate. Po- tatoes generally from fair to good. Sween potatoes fair to good. Rice fair. Tobacco good. Pastures im- proved. Conditions favorable for fall blowing and this work is in progress in many localities.
