great international parsonage in the
field of opera. Claire Dux came to
Birmingham two years ago when she
was practically unknown in this sec
ton and swept a surprised and unsus-
pecfing audience from its feet. Biz

INCREASE, SHOWN
IN MILK SUPPLY
Few Thousand Gallons Produced
Locally Each Day

Examination Of records show there
has been an increase of SO per cent in
the number of dairy cattle supplying
Birmingham with sweet milk in the
time elapsed between 1921 and the first
of the year.
In the past two years the consump-
ton. Of sweet milk in Birmingham has
increased 9S per cent; and in the past
IL months there, has been decrease in
shipments to Birmingham of foreign
sweet milk from 2 900 gallons day to
/ 800.
Officials of the bureau of meat and
milk inspection of the city and county
departments eof health, however, are
more interested in the fact that the
local production of sweet milk for Biz
miHghRm 3ise has increased to 10000
galIOnsia day than they are in the other
| figures Of the report. ga
The thing the workers find most in
teresting is the growth of the diaries
in and around Birmingham The fig
uFes Of the report represent the growth
Of diaries already IN operation and not
newly established plants. Another fea.
ture lis that the Jefferson, county herds
have nearly doubled in 80 months, and
the dairymen are now raising their own
stock feed in large quantities and buy
ing less and less Of it from outside.
Some Of the diaries have been moved
back to more rural surroundings, in
creased their, pasturage acreage and
cut down materially their overhead.
The report shows that in April, 1922.
there were 6, 800 dairy cows supplying
Birmingham. In 1928 there were 4 O00.
April, 1924, figures show, after a cen.
sus was taken, that there are now 8. O00
head of dairy cattle in the Birmingham
district. :.

produced sweet milk nearly ali Of il Il

process has been so refined and is A
carefully done that not one person IN
thousand, it is said, can tell the diff

seen in the steadily decreasing mortai5

sports together with flannel trousers.
You are wen advised, however, to pre-
serve the line Of demarcation between
town clothes and country clothes, hav-
ing separate suits for each place and
purpose. Sport and street can never
meet. Moreover, the rough-and- tumble
usage to which field clothes are neces-
sarily subjected makes it an economy to
keep them strictly in their place.
