Candidates Astounded At Re-

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-H ERALD NfonfuornNrv Ala Sent II

Candidates and friends of candi- dates for positions of the state high way commission were astounded Tuesday when the senate declined to accept the house amendment which had called for the election of the highway commission of three by the legislature after nominations had been made by the governor The senate voted against the house amendment 31 to l and then called for a conference between the two houses.
 The senate will be represented in conference by Senators J. M. Foster author of the original bill; J. B. Ellis and E. Deg Waddell. The representa- tives of the house will be c. w. Ash craft of Lauderdale, Frank B. l1mbry of St. Clair and J. Lee Long of But Ter.
 When the bill was returned to the senate with the house amendment which had been adopted after Cover nor Brandon had indicated that he favored it, Senator Melvin Hutson or Morgan launched an attack against it, contending that it would not be fair for the two houses to name the commission since the house of repre- sentatives would have 1o6 votes and the senate only S5. He contended that the highway commission should be named by the governor and not by the legislature.
 Senator R. H. Powell of Macon chargeds that the house amendment resulted from politics and that this duty should not be imposed upon the legislature. He said the proper method is for the governor to name the members of the commission.
 o o O
 Foster Motion Lost.
 Senator Fosters motion to concur in the house amendments was de- feated only one vote being cast in favor of it, and his second motion to non-concur and to request a confer ence was adopted without an oppos- ing vote.
 Candidates for the three positions on the commission came to Montgom- cry in large numbers Monday even ing, expecting thesenate to accept the | house amendment. The candidates and their friends have been active among members of the legislature since the house adopted the amend ment
 Although no one knows what pro posal will be made by the committees representing the two houses. it was talked in legislative halls that the legislature will be asked to put the appointive power In the hands of the governor but with the restriction that no member of the present high way commission shall be given a po- sition on the new commission.

"SEE FLASHES OF ACTION

When this picture was taken the
American EXpeditionary Force had
just finished writing it's glorious epic
of victory. Back of it were the dark
and trying days of the Argonne-
Mont Blanc, Cheppy, Montfaucon,

of it, the occupation of the Rhine

They didn't talk much about it,
when they came back, these fellows
who waded through. They knew it
was useless to try to give the civil
liam a picture of the real thing. The
doughboy didn't have the descriptive
gifts necessary to give his parents
an idea of how it felt to have a shell
burst within ten yards of his fox
hole Probably Homer himself
couldn't have done justice to that
sitiation.
But, fortunately for poSterity, the

PRIVATE PEAT
ROTARY GUEST

At the regular weekly luncheon
Wednesday, the Rotary Club had as
guests Mr.. Roy Ellison of Portland,
acting manager of the Ellison-White
Chautauqua System, who is past
president of the Portland Rotary
Club, and who is here in the inter
est of the Chautauqua System of
which he is the directing head. Mr..
Ellison was right at home with the
ROtarians and told an interesting
story or two and led in song which
was new to Winslow Rotarians. An
other distinguished guest was Mr..
Harold Peat, better known as 'Pri-
vate Peat, who is one of the big at
fractions of the Ellison White Chau-
tauquas this year and who gave his
lecture on "The Inexcusable Lie of
the Century" on Wednesday night.
Pr. Peat gave very interesting talk
on his travels over the world and
dwelt especially on what he had seen
and learned while on lecture tour
of Australia and New Zealand. Mr..
Peat has remarkable personality
and griped the attention of the Rota-
rians and at times convulsed them
with laughter over some amusing
thing he had seen. He is keen of
observation and seems to see the
cheerful side of things and is con-
stantly bubling over with wit and
good cheer. Other guests were Gov
ernor Charley Christy, of Phoenix,
who is always a welcome guest at
the meetings and who always has
good word, or a song to keep things
a moving, He had the fellows all
a singing at once Wednesday and
some of them were singing in spite
of themselves; Prof. John Branigan,
and Louis Smith, Rotarians from
Holbrook, and Mr. Hutchins of Los
Angeles, California. Mr. Hutchins,
true to the Los Angeles record, gave
boost for his home city. Some of
the recent absentees of the club
were in evidence again, among whom
were A. B. Riley, Glenn Bright, and
Claud QuebedeauX
