SIX NEW ACTS
 ONLYRICS Big Animal Act Tops Program For Last
 Half Week

This is going to be q week that pat rons of the Lyric are going to count among their pleasant memories, because so much entertainment has been and is going to be provided. The new bill which opens this afternoon is going to equal in the length the extra special program for the first half of the week. There will be six acts of big-time Keith vaudeville offered, and each one of them is good.
 The headliner is big novelty, How ards spectacle, high class demonstra- tion of cultured animaldom.
 It requires not only inexhaustible patience but the gift of showmanship to make an entertaining vaudeville of fering with equine and canine actors, Both of the qualities are possessed in abundance by Harry Howard who has brought forth a decided novelty in his spectacular. exhibition of musical Shet- lands and terriers The pones are little beauties and remarkably trained. Their playing of balls and other music making devices verges on the uncanny, the dogs are remarkable, too.
 The big extra added attraction for the first half of the week has been held over. Just to show the versatility of Lorraine Howard and Flo Reed, the

TENNESSEE co.
 PASSES CRISIS
 DUE TODROUCHT
Heavier Demands Cuts Available Supply Of
 Freight Cars

Only the foresight of the Tennessee company officials in constructing an addition to it's central water supply, has saved a complete shutdown of the operations of that company. The long dry period which this district has ex perienced during the summer has sap ped the water supply of that company to the lowest volume in the history of this district. The construction of the water supply system some years ago contemplated droughts such as the present one and made certain additions to the original units. It is stated that the present dry period would have caused a cessation of operations had the supply been permitted to remain as originally planned. As it is the total resources are being taxed to take care of the operations.
 An inspection of the banks of the em- pounding space consisting of $50 acres, indicates that the lake has fallen to an amazing extent. However, the opera tions have been continued and there is small likelihood of the water supply en- dangering the operations.
 The water supply of the company, in cludes a reservoir empounding 3,O00,- 100000 gallons. The banks of the en- tire area has been scraped clean by the medical department of the com pany to prevent danger to the health of the community. The pumping capacity of the plant is 60,000,000 gallons of water with an average demand of A. 100000 per 24 hours.

"A ncdVys OIty ar.
 The street in front of the Bootleggers' Ritz was filled with limousines. Of the most expensive. Long, blonde chauf- feurs in cords and nifty caps. Inside the Bootleggers' Ritz a haze of smoke, many small tables. Each Master Boot logger, as he entered, drew off his hand sewn gloves with a Lord Mountbatten gesture. He paused to look the scene over with the pause we have seen in the movies. He moved slowly, with con scious grace;
 "All trying to be gentlemen, see?' said my friend. Low voices, just a few too many diamonds, awfully po- lite. If you say to one of lem you'd like to go somewhere, he says that's where he wants to go. Thinks that's the way gentlemen do, see? They bet on the races, not that they give damn, but because the Sunday supplement peo- pie bet on the races. You know. All trying hard to raise themselves"
 But in about an hour, he said, they all had their coats off and were all talking at once. And gee, how the cig- arctic smoke hurt your eyes
 Of course a police department car should have the right of way. The as- sumption is that there is policeman inside, going somewhere in hurry on the public business. Traffic gives the r. D. cars the right of way. No mat ter how the green and red lights flash in the towers.
 It often happens that small, rusty, enclosed car adorned with the magic letters driven by an aging female in a 6ecaying hat, putters calmly across the current of traffic, while the officers blow their whistles and hold up enraged hands and swear under their breaths.
 They call her the Duchess of Mount Morris Park.
 Don't say it doesn't pay to advertise.

END OF DROUGHT
 IS NOT IN SIGHT
Absence Of Rainfall Having Se-
 riOus Effect On Crops

Little hope for the end of the drought which has held Birmingham in its tolls for 31 days was seen Wednesday by E. c. Horton of the United States weather bureau. The official prediction for the next 24 hours was fair weather with mild temperatures.
 The long continued lack of rain is having serious effect upon the crops, and power companies are being com pelled to use more and more coal to generate power to replace the water in the rapidly-lowering streams.
 Birmingham was greeted with its sec ond night of regular London fog Wed nesday when smoke from the city's manufacturing plants mixed with fog covered the city like a mantle.

For years George F. Baker, chairman of the First National bank, one of the worlds richest men and certainly one of the most powerful of the worlds financiers, has walked at ease among Wall streets crowds. No one knew him except the few he knew. He has never had a bodyguard as most of the very rich men have. He has been able to go window shopping, buy a nickers worth Of peanuts or steal look at headline without causing panic.
 Then his picture began to appear in the news because of his recent bene- factions, and now business stops down town while he and his men and his chauffeur and few policemen fight his way to his limousine. It gives me a malicious pleasure to report that the old gentleman is frightfully sore about it.
 Remember when this country was a maze of dime museums, and every city had its Penny Arcade?
 There's just one dime museum left in the whole world now. It is up on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, where a fine old snowman is running it on the consecrated lines. He's the real old sort-maybe the only one of his kind left in the world, toO--with his collar less white shirt, decorated with an inn mense diamond and splash of tobacco, his checkered clothes, his floppy hat, and his resonant, dominating voice.
 get a sort of a homesick feeling when I go up there, and follow the crowds from platform to platform, and listen to the good old lecturers tossing the good old bull, just as they used to do. There must be lot of other home sick people in this town, for the not so sure that they see many more of the marvels than do. It's so much easier to look backward into the past
