You will wish to talk over business.

will expect you TO be with US for

With a bow she left the room, fol-
lowed by her daughter Under had a
sense Of being unsatisfed; it was as
though a ravishing meal had been
placed before a hungry man, and only
its aroma had reached his senses when
it had been taken away. Well, ii pro-
voked the appetite
The rancher refilled the. glasses, but
Transley left his untouched, and Lin

"You know the South Y.D.?''

well, it's a branch of the Y.D.
which runs southeast from the Forks.
Guess it got its name from me, be-
cause 1 built my first cabin at the
Forks. That was about the time you
was on a milk diet, Transley, and US
Old-timers had all outdoors to play
with. You see, the Y.D. is a can
tank'rous stream, like its godfather.
AT the Forks you'd naturally suppose

SEARCHERS FAIL
 TO LOCATE SHIP
Tug Helene Still Missing After
 Erie Storm
lRx Associated Press.l

DUNKIRK, N. Y., Dec. !5.-four steel tugs of the Dunkirk fishing fleet returned to the harbor tonight after fruitless search in a Lake Erie storm for the missing fishing tug Helene. manned by Captain W. H: Hornke of Cleveland, and five Dunkirk fishermen
 The Helene, missing since Thursday morning when she left Dunkirk haroor to lift nets in the fishing ground 70 miles off shore, was reported today Tn a message from the master of the lake freighter F. W. Hart at Lorain, Ohio, to be anchored miles out in the lake The message received by the Alexander Fish company for whom Captain Hornke was fishing, said the Helenes fuel tanks were empty.
 Tugs of the fishing fleet which set out for the open lake immediately on re- ceipt of the message were driven back to the harbor by a rsinig gale. Four steel tugs with reserve supplies of fuel beat their way out into the lake from the Dunkirk breakwater this afternoon. Upon their return this evening they re- ported that snow and sleet, with result ant low visibility had hampered their search. It was possible, they said, that they ht d passed within a short distance of the Helene without sighting her.

BOXES FOR VETS
 START THISW WEEK
Legion Dance To Raise Funds For Holiday
 Packages

Mrs. \. Laurell, chairman of the Christmas box" committee of the American Legion auxiliary, Saturday asked all members of her committee to meet her Wednesday at the Greenwood cafe to help pack the boxes that are to be sent all Alabama war veterans in government hospitals, for delivery on the morning of Christmas Day.
 At the same time, Dr. Henry P. Hanna, chairman of the committee on arrangements, and Arthur Greenwood, commander of Post No. 1, American Legion, announced that all preparations are complete for the mammoth dance to be given at the auditorium Wednesday night to raise funds to pay for these boxes. Tickets are now available at Greenwood's cafe, and also will be on sale at the auditorium box office after Monday.
 "The least we can do is to remember these unfortunate lads at Christmas time," Greenwood said. "The legion needs several thousand dollars to send the boys the right sort of boxes, and we look to the patriotic citizens of Bir- mingham to do their bit The war is still on for these wounded soldiers and sailors. Some of them will never be able to return home.
 Yet, every person who comes to the auditorium Wednesday night will get real value for the money invested. There will be stunts for non-dancers as well as for those on the waxed floor. Two orchestras will insure continuous music, and if any money is left over, it will go for radio sets or other things like that for the boys"
 The women of the auxiliary will be chaperones at the dance. Commander Greenwood and Dr. Hanna say the Le- zion is out to fill the auditorium.

with Gods absolute sovereignty? How could Christ taste death for every man! :! How does God regenerate the soul? What is the nature of the life beyond the grave? All these and many other questions we would like to solve. but we must be content. The secret things belong unto God. Yet. out of this darkness of ignorance is seen the wonders of God who does these very things. He did create the heav- ems and earth He did make man in His own image: He did give man a freedom while shaping his end; Christ did taste death for you and me and we are creatures of eternity by the grace of God.
 Darkness Of Sin
 "Then, there is the darkness of sin. Why should sin be permitted in good world? Why are we subpect to dis ease and why do we suffer pain? Why does God permit war and bloodShed? Why do the sins of the guilty bring suffering to the innocent? Why doesn't God kill the uevil anyway? These are all hard problems but out of the dark ness comes one of the wonders of God, and where sin abounds, grace does much more abound. He makes the wrath of man to praise Him. The soul redeemed by the precious blood can sing a song that no angel can sing and tell tale that no arch-angel can ever tell,-that of sinner saved by grace.
 By and by, we will all walk through the valley of the shadow of death but we will have no fear for His rod and staff will comfort us and in the dark est hour, the greatest wonders will be known. It is Gods sustaining and trans forming and glorifying grace. As we walk the streets of the Holy City, the sighs and sobs will give place to shouts of glory. For Gods wnders have been known in the dark and the darkness itself has been changed into the light of Eternal Day."
 In concluding his statement on l: "Why,I chose to preach on Wonders in the Night" Dr. billiard referred to the darkness of natures night and said he drew some comfort and hope from ths well known sonnet on Night" which is:
 Mysterious Night! "When our first parents knew thee by
 report divine and heard thy name;
 Did they not tremble for they love

WOND1ERSOF DARK
 COME FROM GOD, SAYS DR. DILLARD.
Pastor Explains Why He Chose Topic For Sun
 day Sermon

Dr. James F.. Dillard's Sunday morn- ing sermon at the Southside Baptist church on Wonders In The Dark" came to him, he stated yesterday, in connection with flood of thoughts on how inexplicable and inscrutable Gods dealings appear to the human understanding. ''In my congregation Sunday morning." said Dr. billiard, there will be a woman, whose hus- bands mind has gone from him. She will wonder why that darkened under standing came. She may feel as if God were bit forgetful. There will be a man, who has returned from treatment for mental troubles: and he will be wondering if he may not have to go back to the asylum. There will be a husband and father, whose sister, wife and son have lately entered hospital. The sister has died; the wife is near death, and the son is improving slow ly. He will wonder. Also there is a man-one of the best Alabama has ever given birth to. He has been honest and fair. He has worked hard. But all his plans have been upset. He has wife and family, but now no visible means of support. He is in the dark fi- nancially. And there sits widow. She has worked all the week to keep her little brood with her in the home the husband bought on the installment plan, only to pass behind the curtain of death, after he had paid off only few notes.
 Turn To Gods Word
 And then it bethought me-" Dr. billiard continued, ito turn to God S word and see how His servants of old, regarded the wonders of Gods dealings I turned to Psalm SS. It is a sigh and a sob It begins with a soul full of trouble, crying day and night unto a God who seems to be deaf, dumb and indifferent. It ends with soul bereft of lover and friend, apparently for saken by God and shrouded in inn penatrable gloom. The only ray of light that pierced the darkness is the question of the text-"Shall Thy Won ders be Known in the Dark?"
 It seems that the wonders of grace and goodness shall be manifest in the darkness of Providence. As the dia- mond is the result of fires and pressure of centuries, as the lilly has drawn its fragrance from the mire,-so per haps, God by the very severity of His dealings and apparent indifference to our needs and woes is bringing forth some marvellous results that only eter- nifty shall be able to appreciate. Gods wonders are known in the dark. Only those who have come through the cloudy and dark days can really know His grace and wisdom and power.
 There is the darkness of ignorance So much we want to know. When and how did God create the heavens and earth? What was the origin and na- lure of the human family and what is it's relation to the rest of creation? How can we reconcile mans free agency

HUNT UPHOLDS
 ACCUSED WARDEN
Arizona Governor Says Sims Had Right To Mutilate Bodies
(By Associated Prcss.)

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. Ex-Governor Hunt, of Arizona today issued state ment declaring that charges that Ward en Robert Sims, of the state peniten- tiary, had served the heads from the bodies of two men executed at the state prison were true, but emphatically de- nied that any state law had been vio- lated.
 "I have in my files an exhaustive re- port on these skulls. as made by the anthropological experts of the CTanegie Institute, to whom they were sent by the warden" Governor Hunt said in his statement. "In using the skulls for scientific research purposes, Warden Sims was guilty of no crime, for the situation was this:
 Any friends or relatives of the dead man had q right to claim the bodies They are not claimed and as a result were placed in the potter's field. Hay ing remained there several months, with no claims having been presented for them, Wadren Sims assumed the authority that he had as much right to the disposition of the bodies as any one and conceived the idea of using the skulls for scientific research
 The complaints filed against Wadren Sims at Florence, Arizona yesterday, by Mrs. E. C. Howard of Phoenix, charged him with felony in that he did 'wilfully and Unlawfully aid, abet and cause the dead bodies of Paul V. iladley and Theodore West to be re- moved from their graves and their heads severed without authority of the law"
 Hadley and West were hanged the early part of the year nt the state pentientiary after being convicted of the murder of occupants of automobiles in fhich they were riding across country.

PERRY TO DECIDE.
 ACTION SUNDAY. IN APPEAL CASE.
Gave No Thought To Case Saturday, Says
 Solicitor

Solicitor Ben G. Perry. in charge of the prosecution of Dr. George T. Ed wards, Fairfield physician, accused in a coroners warrant of staying his wife on the morning of December 2. will prob ably made a decision Sunday as to whether Judge J. B. C. Gwin, in the habeas corpus proceedings against Sheriff Shirley, for removing the phy- sician to Birmingham last Monday. would be appealed to the supreme court. the solicitor announced Saturday night.
 Work On Appeal
 Perry and his assistants have been working on the appeal since the unfa vorable decision rendered Wednesday by Judge Gwin. who ordered the sheriff to bring the prisoner back to the Bessemer jail The order was complied with, but the idea of an appeal has never been definitely abandoned by Solicitor Perry, who represented the sheriff during the proceedings.
 In the meantime, the work of the Solicitor on the Edwards case has come to a rest. Ben Perry declared Saturday that the case had not even entered his mind during the day, as he had been busy with other matters. As far as he is concerned, Perry said the case is closed until the meeting of the grand jury Monday morning.
 Perry Confident
 The submission of evidence to the grand jury is expected to take several days. The solicitor is confident that he will be able to secure an indictment.
 The defense has also been active. They are as optimistic over the outcome of the case as the prosecutor. They claim. 1t is said, that they have the greatest de- fense in the world.
 Dr. Edwards continued calm and un- perturbed Saturday, his jailers stated. Though the theory he is a drug addict has been abandoned. he is still being watched and guard is stationed day and night to avoid smuggling. Up. to date he has shown no signs of wanting narcotics, it is said.
