SLATE COPELAND
 TO ENTER RACE
 FOR COMMISSION
Together With John Tay- Tor And Sam Hawkins
 May Make Fight

Friends of W. B. Copeland, who lost his seat on the board of revenue to ". B. Waldrop by nine votes, were saving Saturday he would "come back" next year.
 A group of his staunch supporters have met and decided to draft" him into the race for a seat on the next city commission.
 Copeland merely smiled when the subject was broached by reporters, but veteran politicians already have him listed as candidate.
 Thomas E. Huey also must be reck- oned with next year, according to the preponderance of political talk in city hall circles. Huey ran for reelection to the board of revenue, but was de- feated
 Political gossip was heard on all sides last week as a result of the an- nouncement that Jerry Gwinn, John Taylor and Sam w. Hawkins were be- ing groomed to run for the commission. Gwinn is now rounding out a term on the revenue board. He told his close friends Saturday he would not make the race, but friends of Taylor and Hawkins say they will make their for nal announcements early next year.
 Former Commissioner
 Mir. Taylor is former commissioner, and Mir. Hawkins formerly represented Jefferson county in the state senate. IL is understood that Taylor will seek the post now held by Safety Commits sioner w. B. Cloe, and that Hawkins will run for commission president.
 Both Hawkins and Taylor are widely known and have taken a prominent part in state and county and city poli- tics for a number of years
 Two of the present commissioners are certain to lose their seats next year, as only three members will be chosen. The last legislature cut the size of the body from five to three members.
 McLend0n To Run
 D. E. McLendon, commission presi- dent, will run for reelection and prob ably will be opposed by William l.. Harrison, now in charge of public utili- ties. as well as by MT. Hawkins
 Cioe is expected to offer for another term, but w. E. Dickson and Mrs. Mary Echols have not yet reached a decision.
 While political plans for next year are being worked out, Hunter Arm strong, in charge of the chancery divi- sion of circuit court, predicts there will be a number of ''upsets." T don't think there will be a city commission elected next year." he says. The movement to restore aldermanic government will win"

GERMANS DIsCLAIM MONOCLE
Action of French In Banning Fly
 Glass Starts Something

Action of French In Banning Eye
 Glass Starts Something
 There is more trouble in Germany than relates to food and clothing and marks and arms. The French com mandante in Wiesbaden recently or dered all French officers to cease wear ing monoeies, because they were badge of Prussian militarism, whereupon the German editors rose as one man and denied that Germany had anything to do with the origin of that particular piece of nonsense.
 Germany, they said, had enough to answer for. They said its very name was French, which proved that it's or igin must also be French. Numbers of people have tried to account for the origin of the monocle without acknowl- edging it as a national device.
 By some it is supposed to be a little trick of the English hunting field, to enable the hunters (the riders, not the horses) to see a long distance with one eye while keeping the other focused on the horse. Again it is said to be useful because when one suddenly parts company from his mount, a la prince of Wales, he need not get glass in his eyes, but by one simple contortiOn of the features can drop the thing and re- cover it later by hauling on the line to which it iS attached.
 Apparently neither party to the quar- rel in Germany has thought of blam- ing the English for it. The German editors declare that it is no more a symptom of arrogance, nor badge of the poseur, than the horn-rimmed spec tacles made famous by certain motion picture star. They insist that it is really French, and point to the fact that the old Prince de Sagan, who lived most of the time on the Paris boulevards, be- came famous for wearing one.
 It seems about as rational to wear one eyeglass as to wear one shoe, but if any body went about in one shoe he would be put in a safe place for fear he would harm some one. Perhaps the French think that should be done with the Prussian officers who wear one eye glass-and all the rest of them.-Ar- gonant.
