A combination relief program, includ-

Mr. Rathbone feels that new legis-

alleys, perhaps beginning with the
abolition of the worst section. Piay :
grounds were said to be. badly needed
in the coneested districts and a bet

straighten out the whole matter.

PYTHIANSPLAN
 FALL CAMPAIGN
Phenix Lodge Host At Watermelon Cut
 ting

At the request of the grand chancel1 Tor of the grand lodge of Alabama, Knights of Pythias, the several Pythian lodges of the Birmingham district are making preparations for big class mi tiation to be held in the early fall. It is proposed to have class of several hundred candidates and the work will be conferred in amplified for mby a spe- cial degree team selected from the de- gree workers of the various lodges.

CAVE JEWELLERS IN FRANCE
Whole Colony At Dieppe Live Off Shel Fish On Channel ShOrA

WnVA0 COa0my AG Ulepp0 Live Off Shell
 Fish On Channel Shore
 It may come as surprise to many to learn that Dieppe, the favOrite hOli- day resort and Channel port, has a col. ony of cave dwellers who have never known any other shelter. Every tima you enter or leave Dieppe harbOr you can see them if you will, but your in. terest is invariably attracted by fine town or something at the cliff ton. and rarely by anything along the. shore. The first caveman I saw was we'll preserved and about 80 years old. His wife might have been 100. Her face was network of wrinkles and as black as the bowl of the pipe her man was smoking. They hurried toward me as l halted before their cave. Would Monsieur not like to look inside,'' Ey- erything was bien prOpre, madame in sisted. There was nothing of which to be frightened.
 The cavewOman's idea of cleanliness was somewhat queer. The floor was lit. cred with shellfish, tin cans that ap- peared to serve as eating and drinking vessels, bits of wood and the queerest assortment of odds and ends, probably harvested from the shore after a hun dred storms. A rude table and a couple of boxes were the only furniture. A heap of rags in the corner farthest from the door presumably served as, a bed. An alarm clock stood on the table, but whether its purpose was ornamental or utilitarian 1t was impossible to judge A charcoal fire burned in a brazier made from a petrol tin.
 ''This is one of the largest caves along the cliff" the caveWoman told me with obvious pride. I was stopping to avoid hitting the ceiling with my head, which is just five feet seven and half inches from the ground. The room was per haps ten feet square. She took me to the caves of Aeighbors to prove she was not exaggerating.
 Most of them were Just holes in the cliff with doors to them. Others looked like the lairs of wild animals. In some caves the face of the cliff around the door had been chiselled to q smooth surface, and in one OF two doors there were windows. One cave was six or seven feet from the ground and the tenant had cut a flight of steps out of the faee of the cliff and had made a hAndrail of rope and iron baPs.

 This degree team carried it's own or chestra, and elaborate stage settings and electrical effects. The degrees were carried out according to the ritual with much elaboration and included a num- Der of drills by the officers of the lodge and degree teams and several bodies of guards, attired in red, white, blue and yellow uniforms of the ancient Grecian and Roman guards.
