CURTIS AND BUTLER
 PREPARE FOR FRAY
Trouble Dates Back To National Convention
 At Cleveland
REAL DIFFERENCE
 OF OPINION SLIGHT
Main Objection Is To Selection
 Of New Members As White House Spokesman
By RAYMOND CHAPTER fIAased Wire to Age Herald)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.- All of the tact that President Coolidge can command will be necessary to preserve har- monious relations with the senate, owing to a general sit uation which is now aggra- vated by the feeling between Curtis, who is to be the new senate leader, and Senator William M. Butler of Massa- , chusetts, who will be the per sonal spokesman of the White House.
 Were Coolidge less difficult man to get along with, the situation would be far more serious. His tact and his disinclination to usurp authority heip a situation which is none too happy as
 Started At Cleveland
 The present trouble dates back to the Cleveland convention, when Butler was accused of setting out to punish the Senate republicans because they over rode the President on the soldier bonus and the Bursum pension bill, put through compromise tax bill instead of the Mellon plan. and sponsored the Japanese exclusion feature of the i'm, migration bill, which was obnoxious to the White House. Butler blockaded ar arrangements to make Senator Curtis the vice presidential candidate and the Sen- ate group in. turn frustrated Buffers attempt to nominate Representative Burton as a rebuke to them.
 Presumption Resented
 All of which will not make Buffers position in the Senate not any too happy. for a while at least. Senate leaders are opposed to his going on the foreign relations committee. The state of feeling is illustrated by the resent noent over what is regarded as But Ier's presumption in claiming the of fees of the late Senator Lodge. Now some leaders are talking about assign ing Butler to a seat on the back row next to Mangus Johnson by way of re- huke. Such incidents seem petty to the outside world, but the Senate is . little society of it's own in which the first termer is supposed-like fresh man at college-to be seen and not heard. In fact, new senators are '.hazed' like freshmen are by being re- ouired to do tedious tasks such as examining voluminous reports for com mittees. So some of the older sena- tors are talking about putting But Ter in his place"
 Few Real Differences
 All of which only illustrates how touchy the Senate is just now. It is the more remarkable because there is little real difference between the White House and the Senate leaders on i'm portant policies. The real source of trouble is the traditional jealousy be- tween the White House and the Senate which has existed for decades.
 Foreign relations always are source of feeling between the White House and the Senate. The latter regards it. self as a coordinate treaty making power. But it has always had to nurse an inferiority complex because the White House has the advantage in that it is the point of contact with all foreign powers and holds the initiative in all matters affecting foreign re- lations.

With the championship of the Southern Conference at stake and the Champ Pickens trophy, emblematic of the title, tossed onto the gridiron as the victor's spoil, Alabama and Georgia will ring down the football curtain in a grand fi- nale at Redwood field Thurs day afternoon at 2 o'clock Never before in the foot ball annals of the city, prob ably, has there been a game played here with so much at stake. Hence, special trains over all roads are run ming into Birmingham this morning and many arrive during the night, bringing far
 and gridifon followers fros sections far and near. -N
 The largest crowd which has ever witnessed a football game at Rick wood is expected to be on hand toSay. With the seating capacity increased by several thousand this year all seats have been sold out. Frantic fans searched the city in vain Wednesday for the treasured seats. The last hope for the late-comers will be the sale of general admission tickets which will open at l o'clock at Gate No. 5. at Redwood. These tickets are good for the wooden bleachers in right field and just about a thousand of them are available.
 City To Migrate
 Tuscaloosa will migrate to Birming- ham almost intact. Several sneciai trains which ran Wednesday night and others which are scheduled to arrive Thursday morning add to the growing throng of football-crazed humanity. The whole student body of the university will attend the game in body and the flashy 40-piece band will lead in the cheering and yelling for 'Bama.
 Coach Kid" Woodruff arrived in Birmingham Wednesday morning with his Georgia Bulldogs and Wednesday afternoon took his charges to Munger bowl, on Birmingham Southern colleges campus, for a light workout. Passing and bunting and limbering-up exercises comprised the sum total of the after noons activities for the Georgia squad.

Stairs to the second floor run out

The pitch Of the roof somewhat re-
duces the size Of the rooms, but pro-
vides Closet space that every house
keeper likes.
The dimensions Of the house are SO
by Al feet, and with the exception Of
the bay in the dining room the walls
are straight. This Is the most econom-
ical construction. A basement ex-
tends under the whole house, providing
plenty Of space for the heating plant,
the fuel storage room and rooms for
fruits and vegetables and storing Of
the things that usually are kept in the
basement.
For the family that wants and
needs home that is economical in
cost, good looking and comfortable and
contains three or four sleeping rooms
this design recommends itself. There
may be changes that are desired, but
that is small matter, which the con-
tractor or architect can take care Of
without much trouble.

Indirect Lighting Came

Many of the worlds great inventions
have been the result Of chance. The
escaping steam from teakettle gave
Watt the idea for his steam engine.
The way hot air filled and lifted a
shirt he was drying over the fire gave
Mcntgolfier the inspiration for the
balloon.
So it was with the discovery Of in
direct lighting. Chance-and a re-
markably powerful, mirrored reflector
brought about an altogether new
lighting method, better than had ever
before been known. The incident oc-
Cured in sickroom in the home Of
a member Of the X-ray company,
where light bulb hung, shaded by an
X-ray reflector. This reflector was re-
markable In two ways; Its silver-plat-
ed, mirror-like surface reflected a
greater quantity Of light than any other
type of rejecting surface, and its shape
and the arrangement Of the corruga-
tons controlled the light rays and d.
rected them in an absolutely accurate
way
The powerful light from this refiec-
tor hurt the patients eyes. Her hus-
hand inverted it; and the result was
so startling-sO wonderful-that in
stantly a new Illuminating principle
was Observation-Disclosures lighting. It's
