Woren's Labor LotD

States may legally limit the hours
OF work OF women In certain indus

who was convicted OF having permit

o'clock at night In violation OF the act
Of 1917.
Pointing out that there was good
reason for believing that the New
York legislature had correctly con-
cluded that the injurious consequences
of night employment were more pro-
nounced upon women than upon men,
the Supreme court, In an opinion de-
lyered by Justice Sutherland, held
that the law under attack was not am

One of the big problems for the
beginner in gardening is to determ-
inc the amount of seed he should
buy for his requirements. Two ounc-
es of lettuce seed and two ounces Of
peas may appear equal from weight
standpoint but they are by no menas
equal from standpoint of results.
The following figures srowing the
amount of seed necessary to plant
100 foot row of each of the crops,
viii help solve this problem.

rots l ounce; endive l ounce; lettuce

The higher attitudes Of the state
are especially adapted to the growing
Of cabbage, since this is another of
the crops which thrives best under
cool conditions
Plants may be started in the green
house or hot bed where such equip
ment is available and otherwise the
plants may be secured from the gro
ers at setting out time. Early varit-
les should have about six or eight
weeks growth before setting out
time and the later varities should
be started during the last half of
April in the higher attitudes and a
bout three weeks later in the lower
attitudes for winter storage.
For planting in the hotbeds or
greenhouse the seed should be sown
shallow boxes, either broadcasted
rather thickly or planted in rows of
from one TO two inches apart. The
pants should be transplanted when
the third leaf is well advanced, and
the plants should be spaced about
two inches apart each way.
Before being set out in the garden
plants should be subjected to a hard
ening off period. This consists of ex-
posing the plants to an outside con-
dition for a gradually increasing per-
iod each day until setting out time
The amount Of water should also be
gradually reduced to assist in the
hardening off. Plants may be set out
when all danger Of severe freezing is
past.
Under irrigated conditions the early
cabbage plants may be set as close as
Is inches apart but without irriga-
tion a space of two or three feet is
desirable. Later cabbage requires q
little more room. Under irrigation
the plants should be set from two "a
two and half feet apart and for nor
irrigated land the distance should be
about the same as for early cabbage
two to three feet.

Clock Saues Mans Life
BY Striking 10 Times

Once a clock saved mans life by
striking 18.
During the reign OF William and
Mary man named John Hatfield was
In the life guards. One night he was
on sentry duty on the terrace at Wind
sor and was reported to have slept at
his post He would have been sen
fenced to death. but Hatfield pleaded
that he was awake at midnight and
heard the clock Of st. Paul's strike ID.
Several witnesses came forward TO say
that II did strike 10. and Hatfield's life
was saved.
There was a good deal Of discussion
before the matter was settled as 10
whether clock could strike 18, and
also as to whether the clock Of st
Paul's could possibly be heard at
Windsor In those days. Of course,
London was much quIeter at midnight
than 1t Is now, and people we're found
who declared that when weather con-
dltions were suitable they had heard It.
On the morning OF March IA, 1851,

ing Q. went on for IS strokes. This
caused great alarm to some people In

sidered that such an occurrence was OF

may be started from seeds or from l
to year old roots, the latter while
a little more expensive being prob
ably the best in most cases. If seed
is used it should be planted in a hot
bed or greenhouse. Transfer to the
garden should take place when the
plants are ten Of twelve inches high.
When seedlings are planted the plant
may be set six inches into thesoil
and the hole filled to a depth of a.
bout two inches, the rest to be filled
in gradually to adopt the plant to its
new location.

CITY CONSIDERING i
 NEW zONING
Strong Ordinance Sought By McLendon When
 Budget Is Made

First definite steps toward establish ing zoning law in Birmingham will be taken when the city commission drafts budget for the next fiscal year, it was learned Thursday.
 Commission President D. E. McLen- don will ask that the budget include a sum sufficient to zone the city and make zoning ordinance operative. City Attorney w. J. Wynn estimates that around $20,000 will be needed.
 Wynn now is in Canada attending a bar convention, but before returning he will inspect zoning systems in large eastern cities and bring home all avail able data, on the subject.
 The real. estate board ands'numerous civic organizations have been clamoring for a zoning law for more than year. The last legislature passed an act au- thorizing the city commission to pro- ceed, but lack of funds has held up the movement.
 'sThe need for zoning law here be- comes more apparent every day." Mir. McLendon said, land I am going to fight to have money set aside in the next budget to make it possible early in the new year. <As far as I know, all my colleagues favor a zoning ordi- nance,p
 Preliminary draft of the zoning meas ure will be. made by Mir. Wynn shortly after his return from the east.

$sO,OOO Paid For North east Corner Of Twenty
 Third Street

Movement of another valuable site to the northeast of the downtown busi- ness district featured the real estate market Thursday when the northeast corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty third street changed hands.

LIFE IS SHOWN IN MOVIE LAND Ups And Downs Of Would Be Star De-
 picted

Have you ever taken advantage of the family mirror and acted out before it for months and then decided you were born to startle the world by out shining the mediocre stars who make their living by acting before the camera in Hollywood. Then you've probably saved up for that momentous trip to the film colony-where you have dreamed of receiving one of those fab ulous contracts at a. million per year and then as the time drew nearer to leave that lump in your throat grew bigger-and finally you decided to sac rifice your big opportunity and stay home with the folks because they needed you-7only way back in the in nermost part of your being-you must admit that you lost courage. Next week we are to have the opportunity of sec ing the famous play Merton of the Movies," at the Jefferson theatre, only the youth in Merton" didn't lose his courage-he was too ignorant or con- fident or something.
 Merton of the Movies" is the fa- nous play-adapted from the we'll known novel of the same name-which ran for many moons in New York and was to play Birmingham this com ing season as a road show at s prices. The All-Star Jefferson. Players, how ever, beat them to it, and by paying an enormous royalty obtained this speed king of all comedies for immediate presentation-and we commend them on offering this unusual success at their regular prices.
 The story of Merton of the Movies" revolves about a stage-struck youth in a small town, who has acted out be- fore the home mirror for several months, greatly to his delight-and has decided he was born to out Valen- tine Valentino-and outride Tom Mix, with the result that he journeys to Hol- lywood--that famous rendezvous for good-looking men and lurid vamps. His experiences in the film colony form the ludicrous and fast moving comedy that has startled theatregoers by it's clever ness-novelty and originality. ''Mer- ton of the Movies will be here one week only, but it is safe to say that it could run twice that lone-so absorb ing is it's theme.
