MERCURY SCARS TO 99 DEGREES IN BIRMINGHAM

NTOT since the fourth day of July
 NJ 1921 has the mercury stood at
 a higher point in Birmingham than it did Tuesday when 99 was recorded as the highest for the day. One hundred and four in the shade was the holiday record three years ago, figures at the office of K. c. Horton, weather observer, show.
 Only. twice since that time, Mfr. Horton said, have the figures ap- preached the record of Tuesday: On September. 5, 1922, when 95. was re- corded and again on August 21, 1923, when the mercury stood one notch below that reached Tuesday.
 How long it will last is a matter Mir. Horton would not forecast but he predicted continued warm wealth CT" and leaves Birmingham to guess at just what he means. 2

 MIRTHFIL RIOT
Trips Up When Starts To Being Roaming
 Romeo '.
ByHoP

Another week of laughter is what everyone is saying about ''Parlor, Bed room and Bath" mirthful riot which is being offered by the AlIStar Jeffer- son Players in response to numerous requests for production of this world famous farce success.
 All of the players find themselves in roles which make for happiness, but Miss Helen Ray, DeForrest Dawley and Selmer Jackson have the most inn portant parts, with Miss Kathleen Comegys, lovely and charming as a bride, who wants her husband to be a Don Juan, when he lacks even the makeup of an amateur philanderer,
 The play deals with the adventures of the young husband when he sets out to convince his bride that he is all that she had believed and then some. He gets away with it, too, to. such an extent that serious complications threaten. However, everything is eventually strengthened out, but not until the audience has been in an up- roar and holding onto their sides with laughter free and unrestricted.

 EXCIlES INTEREST
Brunswick Company Exc hibits Strange Instru-
 ment At Forbes Store

The Mystery Brunswick" one of five in existence, is being demonstrat- ed this week at D. E. Forbes and Sons Piano store, 1922 Third avenue.
 "Mr. Brunswick" as the photograph is called, can answer questions, play any record asked, stop, start, and do anything thdtafS requested of it, with out a humane hand touching it.
 Anyone that walks into the store may see it perform. Tell it ones name and it will describe ones appear. ance, clothes, face, anything, in fact. Motion it to play q record and it will do so at once motion with one's hand for it to cease and the music will stop. The record may even be taken form the disc, and the machine will continue to play.
 William $. Haas, factory representa- tive of the Brunswick company, who is demonstrating the machine, offers no explanation for it. As yet no Ione has offered a satisfactory explanation of the mystery, although scores of con lectures have been. made. Radio, wire less and intricate manipulation of sound waves, all have been suggested as pos sible methods of its operation.
 The photograph is not on the mar ket, MT. Haas explained, due to the fact that its operation by the layman is a virtual impossibility in it's present state of development. However, in time, the Brunswick company expects to simplify the machine so that it may become available for entertainment in the home.
 The secret, of the photograph will not be divulged until it is put on the market, Mfn Haas added, and that, of course, may not be for some time.
 In the meantime, however. people are enjoying the attraction because of the mysteriousness itself, and crowds are Hooking to the Forbes store to view the curiosity.

ventions would have women members on the platform committee.
 "The old style of politics is chang ing" Mrs. Jacobs said. But there is only one way in which the women of the country can hope to accomplish the high aims they have set, and that is by taking these purposes and making of them a party issue"
 Borden Burr gave a short talk in which he praised the women delegates to the convention and the two nomi- nees that were chosen.
 Mrs. D. F. Bucks, Jefferson county chairman for the $1,0OO,0O0 Monte vallo drive, spoke briefly on the wom- ems college and what it is hoped to accomplish with the funds raised dur ing the present drive.
 League COmplimented
 Henry Howze complimented the lief ferson county league on the splendid showing made by their representatives at the convention. He praised the man. ner in which the women delegates con- ducted themselves at the meeting and the ideals for which they stood during the entire session.
 In her talk on the convention, Mrs. Sharp praised the nominees that were chosen and urged all members of the league actively to work for these men during the coming months. -
 If democracy ever had a chance, it is now" she declared.
 Newspaper reports regarding the &C., tions of the women delegates to the convention were highly inaccurate" Mrs. Murray Brown said. Some of them would tell of the splendid manner in which the women conducted them selves, while others reported they were source of disturbance during the ses- sion.
 "On the whole, I think the women who attended the convention as dele gates stood up under the strain as well as the men. One instance where a wom- an complained of being showed about by crowd in the corridor caused some comment, but investigation re- vealed that the woman was not even a delegate, and really had no official busi- ness at the convention"
 Mrs. Echols gave only a short talk on her experiences. She described the various celebrities that attended the meeting and related her impressions. She mentioned the loyalty of the Ala bama delegation in continuing through out the balloting to give its 24 votes to Oscar Underwood, and declared that the Alabama man took an active part in the convention.

ACTION DELAYED
 ON SITE CHOICE 7 FOR NEW SCHOOL
West End Citizens And Education Board Fail
 To Agree

The 300 West End citizens who Mon day night unanimously adopted reso- .lution to take their protest against the Lee avenue site for the proposed new school direct to the board of education meeting Tuesday, dwindled to barely 125 when they arrived at the adminis- tration building to voice their disap- proval. About one-third of these offer ed to back the board in whatever they decided upon, the others declaring themselves emphaticaLy in favor of any place other than Lee avenue, and sug- gested Harrison park site as com promise.
 Almost every member of the West End delegation had something to say at the hearing with the board of edu- cation. The general argument of the packers of the proposed Lee avenue site was of negative nature, for they condemned the Harrison park situation without offering much praise for the site of their own choice, with the ex- ception that they said that the Lee avenue property is in the route of the growth and expansion of the suburb, and therefore its use as a school site is progressive move. Harrison park, they said was nothing less than an un-
 
 the A. G. S. railroad
 Object To Distance
 The reason for the condemnation of Lee avenue as the place for the school, according to the opposers of the board of education's plans for the West End school, was that it is not near enough to the homes of the children that would attend the school. The school at Lee avenue, they said would mean that the children would be subjected to the dangers of traffic at least twice a day along Tuscaloosa avenue, which they would either have to cross or walk along for half mile or mile, to ar rive at the school.
 After the meeting, both the petition CTS and the board of education were no nearer a decision than when the meeting begun. However, the board will meet shortly to discuss it formal ly among themselves, Mir. Ramsay an nounced, and at that time, decision will be reached as to what shall be done. He gave no intimation as to when the board would meet, except to say that it would be "soon." The mem- ,bers stille believe the Lee avenue site is the best place in West End for the new school, but Tuesday expressed the feelings that if no backing of the proj- ect of bettering the educational facili- ties in West End was forthcoming from the citizens, then another way of pleas ing them would have to be found
 That the board is looking to the fu- ture as we'll as to present needs does not enter the minds of many of the residents of that district, it was said at the administration building after the meeting. The Lee avenue site, mem- bcrs of the staff said, is the best spot now, and its usefulness will grow with time.

Willow Creek Miners
 Buried Many Hours
 By Snow Avalanche

Lee and Ereo Johnson, miners employed at the Fern mine, in the Willow Creek district, were recently the victims of a ter rible experience in which they were, caught and buried in a crushed building under a snow slide. The men were eating their midnight lunch in the mine blacksmith shop at the mouth of tunnel No. 2, when the avalanche came down the mountain, crushing the shop
 flat. Lee was held prone across the forge while Ereo was pin ned flat on his back on the floor, with an arm extended to where it touched the crushed in

Ereo was still conscious when res cued after his long imprison- mant. Digging still farther into the slide the rescuers found Lee Johnson unconscious, but he was revived after two hours of massaging and first aid

CANADA TO STOCK SOUTHERN YUKON
 WITH BUFFALO,

The Canadian government is arranging to ship eighty head of buffalo from the fam ous herd at Wainwright, Alber- ta, to Whitehorse, in the lower Yukon, where a game preserve will be established and the an- iraals left to become the nucle- us of 8 future meat supply for the country, according to Roo- 'ert Lowe, 8 prominent citizen of Whitehorse who recently passed through Juneau enroute to the south.
 MT. Lowe said the transfer of the animals will take place around May l. On arriving a. Whitehorse, the herd will be driven over the Whiteilorse- Dawson road to the Takhenl valley, 22 miles from White horse and turned loose. Mir. Lowe was the original promui- gator of the plan to establish buffalo in that section, having long entertained the view that they would do well in the dist rict, where there are hundreds of miles of fine grazing land. While visiting Ottawa 8 few ago he suggested the plan to government officials and secured 8 promise of 80 head of the animals. He was assured that if the 80 head do we'll a second herd of 100 will be sent to the district.
