The state board of pardons today Q, set Friday, June 22, for the hearing of arguments in support of the pc t'tion for the parole of Russell Nal . Joy. Birmingham youth who was nconvicted of statutory offense and sentenced to 25 years after a sen t1sational trial In the Limestone cir ercuit court several months ago, ~ The special meeting of the board / twas ordered today at tho request of Sheriff T. J. Shirley of Jefferson @tounty and other citizens. who stated &1hat a large delegation of Birming- ham Atizens desired to appear In E behalf of Malloy.
 Sheriff Shirley and others contend sthat their investigations show that esMalloy was wrongfully convicted and that the verdict of the jury sprobably would have been different sishad not Malloy been placed on trial SsAonly a few days after complaint was made by the girl in the case.
 Malloy and the young woman were a state meeting of the Epworth League and it is alleged r"'that the offense was committed dur ing an automobile ride. The judg- ment of the Limestone court was affirmed by the supreme court sev- eral weeks ago and Malloy IS now . prisoner at hilby prison.
 SENTENCE IS COMMITTED
 Governor Brandon issued an order late Wednesday committing the death sentence of Winston Jackson, Wilcox county negro, to life Imprisonment. Jackson was convicted of the mur- der of John Donaldson, white. He was scheduled to be hanged Friday. the date having been postponed a week from last Friday in order that the governor might investigate the case.
 Governor Brandon attached to the record a statement in which he said ".sxood citizens of Wilcox county had a doubt as to the justice of the verdict; that another negro, Ed Williams, Is now serving life sentence for the same offense and that there were indications of col fusion for the purpose of fastening the crime upon Jackson.
 When the board of pardons con- stdered the case last week two mem bers, W. B. Allgood and s. H. Elan, voted against commission. while Harwen c. Davis favored life sem fence. On reconsideration Wednes- day MT. Argood. on the strength. of new information. recommended that the penalty be changed to life im- prisonment.

NEW YORK HINT or VENICE
Reservoir IL Beautiful Spot, With
Stately Homes That Seem to
Arise From the Water.

What the Brooklyn bridge is to the
resident of Brooklyn the reservoir Is
to the middle uptown New Yorker-a
refreshing and beautiful place for
brisk walk, says the New York Sun.
The reservoir, particularly the up
per one, with path on the brink. is a
place Of romance Across the water
rise stately houses; they seem almost
on the edge of the water, like the
houses of Venice. Sometimes the
water is sheet of ice. One day 1t
seemed like stretch of gray taffeta,
with inserts Of blue crepe where the
wind rippIed the patches of water that
remained. Close to the shore broken
bits of ice tinkled continually against
a stretch of solid ice. with the sound
of sleigh bells.
But In summer there is another
aspect to the reservoir. Horseback
riders gallop around in fetching cos
tunes, while the water sparkles in the
sun.
hour that lifts you out of New York,
OUT OF America, out OF the world. The
point Is the western stretch OF the
southern side. The hour Is sunset. The
magic is produced by the fountain,
thin, high sweep of spray painted
with rainbow shades by the setting
sun. Up goes the stream, swirling into
gigantic feather in the gentle hands
Of the breeze. Suddenly the rainbow
appears to vanish as the wind swings
the spray In another direction, to re
appear again for few breath-catch-
ing seconds. The spray sweeps here
and there, covering you for an instant.
The sun leaves II for a moment and
the fountain becomes bridal veil.
Out comes the sun and the fountain
flashes into glory.

GREAT WRITER'S YOUNG DAYS
Tales Told Of TWO Authors Who Have
Risen to Eminence in Liter
airy World.

Mr.. Rudyard Kipling was in the
habit of selling his old schoolbooks ia
dame who kept curiosity shop al
Bideford. In recent years many PEG.
pie have visited the shop, hoping to
pick up volume with an early com
position OF the great man scrawled in
the margin. They have been disgusts
ed to hear that the old dame rubbed
out everything Of the kind.
NO." she said, on one occasion,
Master Kipling was always fair to
me, and he may have written things
not SO good as those he has sold since.
l wasn't going to have them poking
fun at him." Which shows the popu-
larity Mr.. Kipling enjoyed in his
schooldays.
Another great writer, Sir James
Barrie, has good story to tell of bis
young days. 1t was at the time of his
first success and an old tOwnswOman
Of Kirriemuir, Barrie's native place,
was asked what she thought of 1t.
''Weel," she replied, cautiously. tits

Original Playing Cards.

The original pack of cards was a
culver of arrows. Playing cards are
regarded as derived from Iii. divina-
tory use of the arrow away back in
the cradle of civiiiZation-China or
India. says Stewart Culin, the archae-
ologist. The ancients played games
with marked arrows, and the
Museum of Archaeology. University of
Pennsylvania, has several specimens
of these primitive playing cards.
Ancient Chinese and Corean cards
are long and narrow, and by their
design and name show Enthusiastically
that they are conventionalized shaft
ments of arrows, retaining in their
suit marks the same symbolism as that
Of the CULVER of arrows from which they
were derived. The old Corean and
Chinese name for playing cards is
fighting tablets"

Knew Just Where He Was.

Whimsical Walker, the famous
clown, has followed the prevailing
fashion and written his recOllections,
which naturally abound with theatrical
shop talk. Among his "reminiscences
of Drury lane-the street. not the
theater-is the following: II was on
speaking terms with an undertaken
there and he once invited me into his
shop and brought out bottle. sat
myself down on something covered
with black cloth and we hObnobbed
together in friendly fashion. The un-
dertaker was an enthusiastic theater-
gOer. He knew host of stars by
sight and had acquaintance with few
Of the lesser lights. We talked theat-
rical shop and happened to ask the
undertaken if he knew what had be-
come of certain actor whom men
toned by name. Yes said the man.

SMALL BIRDS FALCONS PREY
Pereorins, Like the Pirate He TO-
Takes Toll From Weaker Crea-
lures Of the Air.

1t was reported recently that In the
eyrie of peregrine, vicious bird, the
rings Of % racing pigeons were found.
The peregrine falcon often kills birds
which are unfortunate enough to cross
its path. Peewits and other birds that
frequent the coast are relentlessly pur-
sued by this hawk. and another prey
is the golden plover, but this bird af-
fords the hawk good chase before 1t
is caught.
The peregrine catches its prey by
protruding its strong legs and talOns
to their fullest extent when within a
few feet of the quarry. Then for a
moment it's wings are almost closed,
and the next the prize is seized and
carried off. If, however, the object is
too heavy to be lifted from the ground
it is forced along sometimes hundred
yards on the ground, and killed and
devoured on the spot. The nest of the
peregrine is usually placed on the face
of some PERCEPTIONS cliff, resting on a
shelf of rock or tuft of vegetation, and
consists of a mass of sticks and coarse
stems of grass and ferns.

Lead World in Corn Production.

Approximately so per cent of the
corn entering into world trade comes
from Argentina and the United States,
according to information compiled by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. In 1921 shipments from the
United States exceeded those from
Argentina by 21,O0O,0O0 bushels, but
prior to that year Argentina was
usually the larger shipper, average ex-
ports from that country before the
war (19O9-1910 having been between
One-third and one-half of all corn en-
,tering into world trade and about two
and one-half times the quantity ex-
ported by the United States.

"Blood Money"

blood Money" was the name ap-
piled in the Middle ages and well into
the more modern period to the money
paid for bloodshed. 1t might be either
the compensation paid by manslayer
to the nearest relatives of the victim,
TO secure himself and his kin frbm
vengeance, or the money paid as a
reward for bringing about the death
of another, directly or through evil
dence 1t was once common among
the Scandinavian and Teutonic peo-
plies, who called this money payment
wergild. The price varied with the
nature of the crime and the rank of
the victim. Certain crimes, such as
the Staying of a sleeping person, could
not be compensated by a money pay
ment; such criminals were declared
outlaws and could be slain with inn
punity. The term is now often applied
to the reward or bride paid for giving
up a criminal TO justice.

Alabama women's legislative council, only one--the Sheperd- d-Towner bill has been passed.
 Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Iowa and West Virginia are the only states permitting women to work an unlimited number of hours.
 Chief among the standards recom- mended by the women's bureau for women in industry are an eight-hour day, a 4S-hour wek, Saturday half holiday, no night work.
 Although nine states have an eight-hour day, only two of these California and Utah--and the Dis trict of Columbia and the Territory of Porto Rico have 48-hour week.
 California, with an eight hour day, a 4S-hour week, and night work pro- hibited in more than one occupation, almost reaches the prescribed stand ard.
 Nineteen states allow 10 hours work per day. South Carolina allows 12 in mercantile ablishments.
 Some states have provided for a day of rest, one shorter working day-usually Saturday-time for meals, and rest periods.
 Several states have made an effort to fix standard weight which a woman may lift without harm to herself. In Ohio and Pennsylvania a woman may lift a core or core box weighing not more than Is pounds, while in New York the women in core rooms are prohibited from lift ing more than 25 pounds
