UNIVERSITY READY
 TO DEBATE L. s. v. Prohibition Of Sale Of Arms And Munitions Is Subject

] UNIVERSITY; Ala, Feb. 7.-( Spe- cial. )-Unusual- interest is being mani fested at the Capstone in debate Fri day night between Alabama and Louis jana State universities. The question under fire at this time is: Resolved, That the manufacture of arms and mn. nitions of war by private enterbriss should be prohibited by international agreement. Alabama defends the mega tive side in Baton Rouge.
 The intensity of, the interest in the debate at Baton Rouge is manifestedsby the fact that the authorities there have made arrangements for the arguments to be broadcasted by radio. This is indeed feature of the debate and is indicative of the progressiveness of Louisiana State university.
 Alabama will be represented by Miles Ventress of Clayton, T. B. NHili. Jr., of Montgomery, and Irby Scott of Athens. All these gentlemen are vet eIans in forensic activities, each of whom bears the scars of at least two intercollegiate encounters of this na. ture.

HOW D0CT0Rs TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step In Treatment Is Calo. tabs, the Purified and Re. fined Calomel Tablets That Are Nausealess, Safe and Sure. .r

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds. coughs. sore throat and influenza can be de- pended upon for full effectiveness until the hver,is made thoroughly ac- tive. That is why the first step m the treatment is the nausealess calomel tablets called Calotabs. which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influ- enza and colds and Is one of the most important factors in enabling the pa- tient to successfully withstand an att tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One or two Calotabs at bed time, with a swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eating, pleas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified and you are feeling fine, with hearty appetite for breakfast. Genuine Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents for the large, family-package: ten cents for the small. vest-pocket size.-Adv.

 STATE CAPITAL
tsTArE CAPITAL BUREAU)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 7.-- Did the ambitious citizens of the Black belt steal march on sthe residents of the cultured community of Tuscaloosa in securing the building of their homes on the Brandon highway? From a pc rusal of the act of the legislature of 1923, establishing the Brandon high way, it is found that the road so desig- hated does not touch Tuscaloosa, home of the governor, in whose honor it was named, but on the contrary, is routed from Montgomery to York and the Mis- sissippi line. ql
 The idea of a. Brandon highway first originated at Tuscaloosa, it is claimed, and was the subject of an address de- livered before the Tuscaloosa Chamber of Commerce by a prominent Tusca- ioosan, who held that Governor Bran don's triumphal march from his home town to Montgomery should be com memorated by a highway to connect the two cities.
 It is learned from engineering sources that the task of building a read from Montgomery to Tuscaloosa will be comparatively easy as an en- gineering feat, and of relatively low cost per mile, as an abundance of road material is found along the route.
 The idea of a Brandon highway was seized upon by someone else and bill was introduced into the last legislature by Representative Guy of Lowndes des- ignating the Brandon highway, but not from Montgomery to Tuscaloosa. In stead, the act specifics that the Bran don highway shall extent from Mont gomery via Davenport and Sandy Ridge to Fort Deposit, thence to Greenville, Liberty, Pineapple, Catherine, Thom- aston, Linden, Jefferson, Moscow, Coatopa, Livingston, York, Cuba and the Mississippi line.
 It is true that legislatures have des- ignated highways before which have not always been built, as such legisla- tive mandates fail to carry appropria- tions, or to say just how long is "as early as practicable" the time speci- fled by the Brandon highway act for building the road. In the case ofnthe Brandon highway, however, it appears that the legislative mandate win be carried out.
