SILHOUETTES OF STATE CAPITOL

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Oct. S. Miss Virginia B. Handley, director of the state child welfare department. Miss Esther Lee Rider, head of the child labor division of the department, Miss Loula Dunn, case worker for the department, and James Sibley of Au- burn, director of the boys clubs, have gone to Mobile to take part in the "child welfare day" program arranged for Thursday. Various organizations of Mobile will cooperate in q meeting at which child. welfare problems will be discussed.
 Col. Ed Doty, president of the Mang- anese Products corporation, was a wis itor to the capitol today and called on his former contemporary in the news paper world, Frank, N. Julian, now state superintendent of insurance. Superintendent Julian professed to not ice a change in Colonel Doty since the latter became head of the Manganese company. Eds appearance and ac- tions bespeak the opulet corporation magnet whereas I have kept up the habit of work acquired in a country newspaper office and have maintained both my boise and avoirdupois," Super intendent Julian declared.
 Colonel Doty was accompanied to the capitol by F. Miller, vice president and general manager of the Manganese Products corporation. Headquarters or the corporation is at Chattanooga with deposit of manganese in Georgia and Tennessee.
 A casual visitor might almost have fallen into the belief that the legisla- ture was in session today, owing to the throng of contractors who filled the his. toric hall of the house of representa- lives on the occasion of opening bids for five road projects. The attendance of road men was such that the highway commission adjourned from it's offices on Dexter avenue and met in the house of representatives which was filled when bids were opened, more than d hundred men being on hand.

feared him. His cowardly RACES made

Fang from the first. White Fang be-

White Fang bristled and barred his
teeth and backed away; He did not
like the man. The feel Of him was
bad. He sensed the evil in him. and
feared the extended hand and the at

cause of all this, he hated the man.

manifestations of desire to lay hands

had been compelled to avoid the camp.
He did not know what evil was
