Just the same, knowing all this,
ViSconSin's athletic authorities feel
that the eleven at this time is in a
position where the sanction of victory
over a strong opponent means more
than it ordinarily would. The BADGERS
came dreadful cropper against Coe,
and when they face Minnesota this
manfully they have reacted from the
jolt of that tie game-that moral de-
feat-last Saturday.
Team Lacks Confidence.
Frankly, it would seem from impress
sions gained through a visit to Camp
Randall today that Wisconsin has been
in better condition and better mood for
the important Minnesota game than
at the present time. What is pri-
marily needed is swapping together
physically and mentally. The mate
rial is there. and it has received the
highest type of manual instruction
and the inspiration of magnetic
coach. 1t remains to be seen what the
men make of it all.
The problem which Jack Ryan and
his assistant coaches have had to
meet has involved a green line and a
back field in need of a lot of devel-
oping. In the forward wall, only two
d
guard and center, are playing the po-
sitions they regularly occupied in
1928. And neither of them has yet
attained the standard set last year
Nelson, who played end last season,
is now in at left tackle, and most of
the other line positions are in pretty
much of an experimental state.
The backfield which will start
against Minnesota will consist of
Capt. Harris, Leo Harmon, Doyle
Harmon and Larson, who will play
quarter. Doyle Harmon has been
playing quarter, and Larson. who
gets his place next Saturday. is a
1S5 FOUNDER who was located at one
of the wings on last years freshman
team. So it will be seen that all has
not been plain sailing in organizing a
backfield of the accepted conference
type.

Many interesting and unusual dis cussions arise between scenes in mak- ing a pitcure.

In iIe movies ii. is atmosphere that counts and c0nversa- tiOns along the line of the action stimu- lates the emotion.

 Women Voters Entertain. =
 Thursday afternoon the new citizens were entertained in the federal court room by the Jefferson County League of Women Voters. Addresses on the duties of citizenship were made by Con gressman George Huddleston, of Ala bama; Arthur Greenwood, commander of the Birmingham Post No. 1, of the American Legion, and others. All the speakers emphasized the importance of loyalty to the government during peace as well as during time of war.
 ''War," MT. HuddIeston said, lasts few months, or four or five years at the most. Peace, however, lasts all your life. Are you going to display your loyalty in war times, and never lift your hands for the United States the rest of your lives? If so, you are not the kind of citizens we want" He reiterated several times that the para mount duty imposed upon citizens is the exercise of their. franchise of voting.
 Refreshments were served following the addresses and other ceremonies. Bibles were distributed by membrs of the Southside Baptist church.
 Only 82 Passed.
 H. B. Read, naturalization examiner of the New Orleans district, of which Birmingham is a part, conducted the examination of the applicants and passed judgment on their fitness to be- come citizens. Of the 106 applicants, only S2 were allowed to take oath of allegiance.
 Former citizens of ten countries were admitted yesterday, Italy leading with A. In order followed Greece, Great Britain, Russia, Turkey, Poland, Austria, France, Rumania and Jugo- slavia.

LAST CONTRACTS
 TOBELET TODAY
RagIand Plant To Be Re constructed At
 Once

Contracts for the rebuilding of the burned plant of the National Cement company, involving large sum, will be let Friday. The plant, which burned Saturday night at Rag.anc, causing q loss of $75O,O00. will be turning out lime next week, if plans of the officials carry through as outlined at this time. Contractors and engineers from Bir- mingham remained in Ragland Thurs day, where they conferred with Presi- dent Nicholson of Kansas City, regard ing the reconstruction.
 It was stated here Thursday that some of the contracts were let and in dications were that all such details would be closed up Friday. The com pany has discovered, after removing some of the debris, that the finishing end of the plant is in such shape as to permit operations by Tuesday of next week, hence the belief that cement will be produced in so short a time follow ing the fire. However, the raw ma- terial end of the plant is in bad shape, and will have to be rebuilt.
 At the company offices Thursday the statement was made that the buying public in this district was cooperating with the company in every way. Gus toners have promised to be patient with officials, and additional orders have even been booked since the fire.
 President Nicholson of Kansas City, who broke railroad operating records in getting to Ragland after the fire, re- mained there Thursday awarding small

OBLIGATION OF EVERY OCCASION
When The Clock Strikes Two


 FVEN little Miss Cinderella was FI content to go back to her drudgery
 because she had bewitched a prince and lived for a night. No mat ter what small heed a man may pay to day dress to be smartly and cor rectly turned out in evening clothes gives him an invisible pat on the back that enhances the occasion and en- riches the remembrance.
 Moreover, when a woman wears for mal or semi-formal evening dress to dance or for dining out it is obligatory upon man, as a mere matter of defer ence, to match her appearance with his own. Some of us are habitually re- miss about this, yet it is one of the primary principles of courtly custom recognized and practiced the world over. Thoughtlessness, rather than ignorance, is accountable for such laxness which prevails among many men who know better and is condemned by all men who know best.
 The smart details of semi-formal eve ming or Tuxedo dress are illustrated here. You see the four-button black silk waistcoat with wide, oval-shaped lapels and short, blunt bottom corners; the starched or semi-starched shirt expos ing two studs the bold-tab wing collar and the black batwing or butterfly tie with a right-and-tight knot and spread ing, fan-shaped ends. All these things are unexceptionally correct. but they do not have to be followed literally. For example. more conservative. straighter shape may be worn in place

of 1922, the chapter organization took a prominent part which resulted in successful and widespread farming ac- tivity and the threshing machines rec Ords showed fifteen thousand bushels of grain, as against eleven hundred the year before and forty thousand bushels for 1923, the third year. This resulted in canceling all flour contracts for the school and agency and, for the first time in the history of the Blackfeet Indians, they raised their own flour.
 Community Machinery
 On account of the mountainous coUn- try and steep creek banks, it was neces> sary to have q threshing machine that was not top heavy and one that was simple. Each chapter organization took care of it's own threshing, meeting the outfit at the boundaries of the chapter, going through the area of the chapter with it and turning it over to the next organization. In addition to the two threshing machines which are used by all the chapters in common, each chap ter plans on eventually obtaining one binder, one drill, one flaming mill, two disks, four moving machines, four rakes in addition to blows and harrOws that they now own to take care of next years farming activities. This farming machinery is turned over to the presi- dent of the chapter, and he is held re- sponsible for it's housing and safe keep ing and the various chapters all over the reservation are building community ma chinery sheds for this purpose.

JIM DAVIS DENIES REPORT OF PROBE
 OF STATEMENTS
Doesn't Yet Know What He Will Do, Says
 Solicitor

X published story quoting County Soiicitor Jim Davis at length concern iI Commission President D. E. Me ] ndon's grand jury statement" and ts ing he would ask an immediate grand ;:ry investigation, was ridiculed and c<nphatically denied by the solicitor at | is home Thursday night.
 T have not even read the statements attributed to McLendon and Marvin A. Dinsmore," he declared. T haven't told anybody what I expect to do for the good reason that 1 don't know my self"
 Denies Testimony Given
 The solicitor returned Thursday from his vacation and was told by his assistants that President McLendon had issued a statement denying charges against himself which he claimed had been made before the grand jury in- vestigating city hall shortages He was also told that Dinsmore had charged in a public statement that McLendon told him the information concerning the testimony had been received from Solicitor Davis.
 To an Age-Herald reporter, the so- licitor denied he had divulged grand Jury tO VuClINuuOh OL any other person. That is everything he would say about the situation.
 Nothing To Investigate
 Reports to the effect that no testi- mony involving McLendon was given the grand jury were current Thursday. If these reports are true, it appeared there was little for the grand jury to investigate. The alleged testimony had to do with w. H. Glasgow, fomer head of the public improvement department, cashing checks for McLendon and later destroying them. The commission pres ident indignantly denied this, saying Glasgow had never cashed one of his checks.
 McLendon will return home next Wednesday. The grand jury will con vene Monday, but no probe of the Me Lendon and Dinsmore statements is in prospect. This view was strengthened by this statement made by Davis as the reporter was leaving his home

 Latterly, the white Tuxedo waistcoat has been worn by some well dressed men in place of the black and this style has no less an authority to sponsor it than the Prince of Wales.
