HOME ECONOMICS TAUGHT BY COLLEGE
Carmichael Shows How Helping
 MontevallO Helps State

MONTEYALLO, Ala., June H. < Especial. .)-H Alabama Colleea at Montevallo gets the mill6h1 dollars it is asking the people of the state for, and Dean Carmichael who has charge of the state wide drive has no doubt that it will, the dean estimates that the work of the home economies depart ment will conserve at least that much in resources and wealth every year.
 ''The conservation of wealth will be accomplished" said the dean, "by train ing the young girls who are to be the future mothers and housekeepers of the state, how to make the most of a limit ed income. Surely this practical serv- ice to the state can not be oves es- hmated.
 Tt is a strange anomoly that in this country, where 20,000,0O0 people are engaged in the profession of home mak- ing there is less training for that work than for any other profession on the list. There is a demand for twenty million skilled workers and nine-tenths of the number of women engaged in this important business today are total ly without training when they start out. There is not a more important nor a more neglected phase of educa- tion for women in any college course. With bigger demand for home makers than for any other class of workers in the whole country the course is being more or less neglected in most colleges and schools in which women are being educated" ----,--.s

DRY CHIEF TO AID
 INV MOBILE TRIALS
McAdory To Be Witness In
 Hartley Cases

MOBILE, Ala, June 11.-(Special Leased Wire. )-State Law Enforcement Chief Walter K. McAdory will arrive in Mobile Thursday to represent his de- pertinent in the prosecution of a num- Der of cases made by his men working under cover in this county last spring. The indictments were returned by the last circuit court grand jury.
 Thet chief of the state law forces will also appear as a witness in some of the cases. among them being the charges against several members of the Hartley family of near Satsuma. These cases are set for hearing in the court tomorrow.
 The charges against the Hartleys are similar to ones made in the federal court sometime ago and in which pleas of guilty were entered. The state and federal officers worked together in some of these cases.
 These cases are of special interest due to the fact that Hartley brought a charge against Judge A. W. Hargett, head of the federal prohibition forces in the state, as the result of a raid at his home. He alleges that the officer made a search of his home without a warrant. The charge was carried to the federal court, where it is now pend- ing but it is not likely that it will be tried in view of the fact Hartley has since that time pleaded guilty to a charge of maintaining liquor nuisance and Is serving a sentence of year and a day in the Mobile county jail.

"I don't think it will last" said Alice Rohe, who translated it.. 'The police won't let it."
 Not that it is intentionally nasty. Pirandello doesn't cater to the prurient minded. It is a sort of a fable, and teaches a great moral lesson. But Miss Rohe doubts if the police are highbrow enough to appreciate this.

SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
(State Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June L. Senator LaFollette will be an impor- tant instrument in bringing about the republican downfall in November, in the opinion of a well known Alabama political observer who had the floor for the time being in discussion of the political outlook at the capitol today. Politics it should be remarked is the engrossing topic of the day at the capitol, with republicans meet ing and the, democrats soon to meet The Franks case had a brief flash of popularity as the subject of discourse and speculation, but has been showed into the back ground.
 The prediction about the Wisconsin senator was based on the belief that he will run on a third party platform and carry several northwestern states which normally go republican, thus cut ting down the G. o. P. vote and let ting a democrat into the White House

HIGHWAY DETOIjR
 VIA PRATTVILLE IS DISAPPR0VED
U. s. Engineer Refuses To O. K, Route Accepted
 By State
(state Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June H. The attempt of the state highway com mission to divert the Montgomery Bir- mingham highway through the town of Prattville, adding about a mile and a half to the distance, has been disap- proved by United States District Engi- neer R. p. Toms. The state highway body fiest located the road to pass a short distance ~east of Prattville with 2 spur to the town. Later, upon Prattville citizens agreeing to pay the extra cost, the commission voted tO route the road through the town.
 When Mir. Toms submitted his dis approval of the diversion Tuesday aft ernoon Chairman Rogers and Comniis- sioner Suttle declined to accept his recommendation, while Commissioner Scruggs voted to concur in the recOm- mendation. It was reported that the highway board will protest to the bu- reau of public roads at Washington in an attempt to have the highway routed through Prattville. It is not believed this will be of much effect, however, as the general practice of the federal bureau has been to sustain its district engineers.

 The ultimate proof of New York's easy money is in shop window up near the Plaza. It is filled with toy yachts, all sails set, all ready to sail. You can buy model of any one of the fast yachts there. Or one will be made to your order.
 How much?" I asked the salesman.
 "From fifty dollars up," said he. "You can get quite a nice yacht for your little boy for seventy-five dollars"
 At this season the yacht sailing is done in the basin in Central Park, which is set aside for this sport. Nice little boys in nice little yachting cos tunes, guarded by nurses and police dogs, attend to the sailing. Policemen hang about on the high points.
