REOPENIS OFFICES
 ON HIS BIRTHDAY
Eugene l.. Brown Predicted Rapid Growth Of City

Upon the occasion of his birthday Monday, Eugene l.. Brown will reopen real estate offices after an obsence of fifteen years from business. He will have offices on the ground floor of the Brown-Marx building. His return to active real estate business in Birming- ham brings one of the most expert realty dealers of the south back into the game. He has been called the Daddy" of skyscrapers here and few persons will deny him the satisfaction that may be his in knowledge of the fact that, in association with the late w. H. Woodward, he predicted the business situation as it now exists in this city.
 When he opened offices years ago in the First National bank building, it was Brown Brothers and company which included his brother, the late Wilson Brown, and B. Fowlkes. They handled many large constructions here, including the Woodward building and the Brown Marx building.
 Mir. Brown and Harvey Woodward, son of William Woodward, are en- gagged now in contemplation of a build ing on the Metropolitan hotel site, which has been deferred until the grade crossing problem here is settled. -

SILVAH TAKEN
 TO KILBY PRISON
Starts 1O-Year Sentence For Hill Gro. Co.
 Burglary

Iyanhoe Silva, sentenced Saturday by Circuit Judge William E. Fort to serve from 10 to 20 years in the state penitentiary, after being convicted of grand larceny and burglary in connec' tion with the robbery of the Hill Gro cery company on May 14, 1923, was taken to Kilby prison late Sunday aft crnoon by State Transfer Agent J. c. Hartsfield.,
 This marked the final chapter of q legal sbattle of over sone years dura. ~tion, sduring which time Silva faced two juries. Silva was tried early in 1924, and because of an alibi which the prosecution could not refute, the jury failed to agree. During this trial, Mrs. Jean Pheatt of Atlanta was a constant visitor in the jail and sat near Eilva during the trial.
 At the second trial, which resulted in Silva's conviction, Mrs. Pheatt was one of the main witnesses for the state and it was her testimony, blasting Silva's alibi, which played large part in his conviction.
 Silva's alleged companion in the rob bery, H. G. "Cannonball" Wells, was found guilty when tried in the Jef- ferson county circuit court, but the sentence was set in abeyance and a retrial ordered by the state supreme court two months ago. At the present time, Wells is out on bond and is in Tampa, Fla, where he is convalascing from a serious operation. He will be tried as soon as he is able to come 10 Birmingham, Solicitor Jim Davis an- nounced.

Kansas City Doctor
 Invents New Truss
New Discovery Heals Rupture
 Without An Operation

A new discovery which, experts agree, has no equal for curative ef- fects in all rupture cases, is the lat est accomplishment of the well-known Hernia Specialist, Dr. Andrews, 689S Koch Bldg, Kansas City, Mo. The ex- traordinary success of this new method proves that it holds and heals a rup- ture. It weighs only a few ounces. Has no hard gouging pads, no elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel bands, and is as comfortable as a light garment. It has enabled hundreds of persons to throw away trusses and declare their rupture absolutely healed. Many of these had serious double ruptures, from which they had suffered for years. It is Dr. Andrews ambition to have every ruptured person enjoy the quick relief, comfort. and healing power of his discovery, and he will send it on free trial to any reader of The Age-Herald who writes him. He wants one person in each neighbor- hood to whom he can refer. If you wish to be rid of rupture for good, without an operation, take advantage of the doctors free offer. Write him today.

 Jesus taught the world one great lesson, and that was to help the weak. Jesus never was in any crowd, no mat ter what the occasion, but that when he heard some one cry out for help ne said: Bring them to me 7"

PASTOR PLAYS
 HYPOCRITES
Dr. Stuart Cites Many Evils Arising From
 Inconsistency

The inconsistent man, he who pro- fesses one thing and lives another, is hyocrite, declared Rev. George R.. Staurt in his sermon on ":rhe Weakest Link in Christianity" l.; the First Methodist church Sunday night. This weak spot, Dr. Stuart declared, is in consistency.
 At the start of his sermon, Dr.. Stuart enumerated the hypocrites re- ferred to by Christ in his sermons in the New Testament. He then showed how these were inconsistent.
 "A man who is inconsistent is a hypocrite," he said in pointing out the different ways in which people fail to live consistently. AS an example of inconsistency, let me cite the building erected over the birthplace of Christ in Bethlehem.
 Christ preached the doctrine of brotherly love, yet in the building over His birthplace, there are three chapels. One is maintained by the Greek Church, second by the Roman church and the third by the Armenian church. All three represent branches of one church, yet their wrangles and quarrels over encroachments on one another's territory is the worlds great est inconsistency"

 Potatoes Short
 Sweet potatoes turned out to De shorter than was thought, and the yield is only 72 bushels per acre this year The total crop is some 4 1-2 million bushels short of the 1923 crop. Com mercial distribution of sweet potatoes has steadily declined in this state for the past three or four years. This com modity apparently needs some intensive pushing into new markets.

4,3l7,OOO BUSHELS IS NOVEMBER LIST OF ALABAMA CORN
State Statistician Cuts Peanut Estimate l.
 100000 Bushels
(By Leased Wire To The Age-Herald)

(By Leased Wire To The Age-Herald)
 AUBURN, Ala, Nov. 16.-Corn esti- mates have been increased by more than 100000 bushels in the November re- port just issued by F. w. Gist, agricul- tural statistician for the state of Ala bama. Cotton figures remain practically the same. The peanut estimate IS cut nearly a million bushels.
 The forescast as for November ], follows:
 Forecast Forecast Haryysesstte Haryested Corn, bu. 44,317.ooO 3s.72s,oOo 4s.s95.o Cot. ba. 97o,0OO a59, 900 5s7.00O P'nuts bu. s,sSo,ooo 4s1O,ooo 2.5s4,OoO $. DO. bu. 100000 s.733.0o0 11.76O,O00
 The following explanation of his fig ures is made by Mir. Gist:
 For other crops practically no changes are shown. The corn production given above is based on the preliminary yield per acre determined at 13.5 bushles per acre for this year. The final estimate in December may show some change in this figure. The yield at harvest turned out better than was expected before hand, but the production is still short of the states needs.
 More Reports Due
 "The forecast of the cotton crop was made as of the first of November, and two more reports are to be made this season. The price of cotton has steadily advanced since this report was issued from Washington, so that at present prices the forecasted crop of Alabama would be worth about $135,000,O00, compared with $112,000,000 last year.
 "The peanut production forecasted above is based on the acreage to be harvested for nuts and the yield of nuts per acre. The peanut production in the United States is about two million bushels short of the crop of last year,
