Is it all right for the begin

The beginner should adjust his
purchase OF golf balls to his skill. IL
he tops tho ball with the iron clubs
he should buy inexpensive balls with
durable covers. However. tie more
expensive balls have better flight
and are more satisfactory In every
respect. There Is no question that
a ball with a cut cover or core out

should buy the best balls that he can

CHARTS FEATURE
POWER SERVICE
Birmingham Electric Com
pany Keeps Accurate
System Of Records

An interesting feature of the work
lof the Birmingham Electric company
is the system Of charts used to deter
mine power and gas demands.
By these charts, it is possible to tell
what time people arise in the morning /;
what time they go to bed, and when
they cook meals in various sections of
the city. 1t is also noted that the
drain on gas registers the heaviest when
hot water is most in demand-Saturday
nights.
This system of charts is arrived at
from lesser tables used in various 10
calities. Clock shaped cards are placed
on the face. of the meters with the fin
ger power arms tracing design over
the paper at the various hours of the
day. The illumination of even one
light is enough to be evidenced on the
card.
Another chart is given over to COM
plants, averaging about four day,
which is said to be. exceptionally low
considering the number of users of the
Birmingham Electric company's power
$4,000. BY this scale it is held that
ever subscriber is entitled to one kick
every three years whether he needs it
or not.

FAIRFIELD WOMAN
APPARENT SUICIDE
Mrs. E. G. Pullman, 80, Found
Dead In Birmingham

Mrs. e. G. Pullman, 30 years old,
200 ty-fourth street, Fairfield, was
found dead Thursday morning on a
stair landing at 116H Twenty-second
street, north, apparently suicide.
Mental depression brought on by ill
health is thought to have been response
BILE for the act.
When the body was found by police
all means of Identification evidently
had been removed and authorities were
baffled by the circumstances surround
ing the death until Identification was
made by the woman husband. The
body was taken to Lige Logs and Putt
man identified it there shortly before
noon.
An outing trip on, the Warrior river
had been planned by Mr.. and Mrs.
Pullman and their twin daughters,
Elsie and Grace, six years old, accord
ing to Y. l.. Anthony, chief Of police at
Fairfield, who was instrumental in
identifying the woman. The trip was
to have started Thursday morning, and
the family had arisen early to pack
their car preparatory to leaving.
While they were engaged in this,
Mrs. Pullman is said to have left, but
no attention was paid to it for some
time. Later Pullman became alarmed,
and notified Chief Anthony. When
word was sent from Birmingham po-
lice headquarters of the finding of the
unidentified woman, connection be-
tween the dead woman and Mrs. Putt
man was made.
Although investigation by J. D. Rus
sum, coroner, and police indicates that
the death resulted from suicide, police
state they have not wholly abandoned
the possibility of murder. ~.
