finch ird he was, and she, being more than satisfied, followed.
 About a month later the hen was sit- ting upon her eggs in the heather. The male remained on guard, and if an in- truder came near he would do his best to lead him away. Not once did he take his turn at sitting, but he watched by the nest while she went off to feed.
 Eight small, brown, fluffy youngsters appeared, ran about very soon after leaving the shells and followed their par entS, for the male now took a real in- terest in the family. It was he who knew where the best food was to be found and he was the first to warn them of any danger.
 If any enemy approached, he gave the cry of alarm, and instantly all the young scattered out, then squatted flat on the ground. and waited until they heard the notes that told them that all danger was past. In the meantime the male had thrown himself in front of the enemy, and spread out one wing as if it was badly broken, dragged himself along in front, sometimes dangerously near, but away over the moor, he attracted the intruder until far from the young, then, opening his wings, he flew off. Even today, when the beaters rouse the birds from the heather, he will be the first to warn the family of their approach, for all through the summer they have kept together.-Oliver G. Pike, +. 2. &, k. R. F. s., in the Confidential edition of the London Mail.

|NORWOOD ENJOYS.
 P. I. A. COMEDY
Brand New Stunts Are M Introduced To 150
 Guests

All Norwood was laughing and talking Saturday about the unique community party staged Friday night by the Nor wood Parent-Tacher association. It was something new in Birmingham, and the 150 guests were kept in an uproar for more than two hours. @
 Under direction of Mrs. s. R. Batson association president, the guests were divided into groups and each group, in turn, pantomimed word for the others 10 guess. A gale of laughter swept the audience as dignified business men i'm personated animals in ''circus," or played on a 'piano" whose keys were fingers. One of the city's leading automobile dealers made a realistic pro- lessor in school" with five ladies as his pupils. ....'
 With the ,pantomimes over, sides were chosen and an alphabet pinned on the members of each team. Wild ex- citement and considerable scrambling developed as each teSh tried to form words as they were given out in rapid fire order. The guests agreed that this stunt" was as much fun as a cross word puzzle.
 al Community singing was led by Mrs. J. P. Mcqueen. There were a number of other innovations that kept every body convulsed with laughter. Ice cream was served at the conclusion of the program and on motion of Pat Murphy the P. T. A. was given rous- Ing vote of thanks for putting on party that was clever and different" Mrs. Batson explained that this asso- citation has numerous plans on foot to promote greater community spirit in Norwood. On behalf of the. member ship, she pledged assistance to Dr. 0. B. Glenn, superintendent of schools, in his program for character building and beautifying the school grounds.
 Frank Chappell, the popular princi- pal of the Norwood school, and his equally popular staff of teachers. were present and played an important part in making the party success.

BUSINESS LICENSES
 DELINQUENT NOV. I
Judge Stiles Would Eliminate
 Last Minute Rush

Attention was called to the fact that state business licenses for 1925 must be secured before November 1 by Probate Judge J. P. Stiles Saturday. After the first of next month, severe penalty is, enforced, the judge stated, if licenses are not obtained.
 Both Judge Stiles and Tax Collec- tor J. F. Hawkins assert that taxes are being, paid slower this year than in previous years and that confusion and jams are sure to result during the last few days of each payment period.
 We have a rush during the auto mobile tax paying period" Mir. Flaw kins said, "And while can understand why people can't want to pay their property tax until as late as possible, it seems to me that the poll tax could be paid any time.
 And this year, a very few persons have paid their poll tax. This means that we will have a. rush late in Janu- ary."
 Both men asserted that unless auto mobile owners buy their new tags fast CT than they have in the past two weeks, the confusion and delay will be very great and people compelled to stand in line for hours.

is not as it should be, but as Edmund Burke wrote, you cannot draw up an indictment against a whole people, and l am not going to. Even the posses sion of one evening suit by every man is a substantial gain for the cause of correct dress. Own two suits, if you can afford it, but you can't afford, for the sake of your own good ap- pearance and others good opinion, not to own at least one suit.
 The proper collar, tie and shirt to ac- company the Tuxedo jacket are illus trated here. The collar is the bold tab wing. The turndown, double-hand shape is incorrect, being purely lounge and daytime form. The height of your wing collar and the size of the tabs must be governed by becomingness to your neck and face All else is of no consequence. The tie, always black. may have square, rounded or pointed ends. as you prefer. The shirt is of white linen or cotton, and plain, pique, corded or embroidered of bosom. This should be well starched. It may have one or two studs, at the whim of the wearer. Sleeve links, waistcoat but tons and shirt studs always match.

SULPHUR CLEARS
 SKIN RIGHT UP
Apply Sulphur as Told When
 Your Skin Breaks Out

Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little. Mentho- Sulphur, declares a noted skin special iSt. Because of it's germ destroying properties, this sulphur preparation begins atsonce to soothe irritated skin and heal 'eruptions such as rash, pim- pies and ring worm.
 It seldom fails to remove the tor ment and disfigurement, and you do not have to wait for relief from em- barrassule-.t. Improvement quickly shows. Sufferers from skin trouble should obtain small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any good drug glst and use it like cold cream.-Adv.

Styles After Sundown

SttEeS AHbtF oUmUOWu
 Every autumn, style authorities pre- dict that the Tuxedo suit Is about to decline in favor, but, somehow or other, it declines to decline. There is no doubt that the swallow-tail suit (full dfess) will revive in vogue one of these seasons, but it is always the next one instead of this one To be correctly turned out, every man should have two evening suits-formal and informal, because the occasions upon which they should be worn differ in character. The tailed coat is prescribed an an evening wedding; at a ceremoni- ous dance: at every function where women are gowned with extreme formality. The Tuxedo is permissible upon semi-formal occasions, such as the concert, the play, the small dance and the at home' gathering at which everybody knows everybody else and an intimate, easy-going spirit prevails
 In spite of these fasionable and trad itional distinctions, which should be Ob- served by all, that joy of satisticians, "the average man, will buy but one evening suit and trusts to get by with the Tuxedo for every occasion. This

THE ART OF SLEEPING
Six Hours SnOugh Fro Those Who
 knOw How. Professor Saws

Know How, Professor Says
 The effectiveness of sleep does not tet pand on quantity, but on quality. The fact that d few great men have been able to get along on three or four hours of sleep is not because they were as exceptional in their body requirements as in their mental attainments, but be- cause the proper kind of sleep.
 Recent scientific investigation shows quite definitely that the time-honored idea that 1t is wise to get great deal ot sleep has SGant basis in fact, writes Prof. Donald "A. Laird of Colgate Uni verslty. Asa matter of fact, many peo- pie probably get too much sleep, and too much sleep may be harmful, just as too much food is. Though, sleeping may seem one of the most natural things you do, there is an art of sleeping you can learn.
 The deep. restful sleep that repairs weariness of body and mind comes dur ing the first hour or two after you 20 to- bed. It is then that your muscles are most relaxed, your blood pressure lowest, and your skin sensitively least. After the first couple of hours. sleep becomes lighter. After four hours it is very light. The slightest noise will oAeh dH average sleeper after this time- To continue this light sleep in the morning is not restful. Why not, tnen' do away with this light, fretful summer that does you no good and suDStltute deeper sleep of shorter dura- ton. !, C.
 You can do it very easily if you can manage to take a 45-minute nan at noOndays This is the equal of three or four hoAre of light sleep at night. If you canAdt take this nap, you can stin learn how to sleep soundly, and to be- come rested thoroughly with six hours sleep instead of eight or nine.
 The three necessities of sound sleep are muscular relaxaftion, quiet. and comfort. The first can be obtained nv lying partly on the side and party on the stomach. The second can be obtain ed by sleeping where there are. no un-

NEGRO IS SHOT TRYING TO KILL
 ITALIAN GROCER
Motorman's Bullet Polls
 Joint Attack On Frank Canepa

4 c. D. Bascom. negro, 40, 2505 Avenue D, was shot and possibly fatally wounded Saturday might when Sam Kennedy of Rosedae, motorman for sEnsley Tidewater cal No. 36, was called to the aid of Frank Canepa, Italian grocer at 1401 Fifth avenue, north. Canepa was being attacked by the negro and san unidentified companion.
 The negro had taken possession of the store when the motorman arrived, and had beaten the aged Italian over the head with a pop bottle. He was in the act of making a second attack when Kennedy was summoned from his car to the rescue.
 Several negroes living in the vicinity of the store came to Canepa's aid. but were unable to enter the store on ac- count. of the assailant's activity with the bottles. They called the motorman from the ear to help them.
 Efforts were made to get the negro out of the store, witnesses at the scene of the shooting testified. When he re- fused to leave off his attack, the motor man drew his pistol and fired. Two shots took effect in the negro's S body.
 C0mpantOm EScdpoS
 The companion with Bascom in the attack was scared away from the store by the negroes before Kennedy arrived. He escaped. %
 Canepa has been the victim of several recent attacks by negro burglars and thugs, police records show. Several times negroes have entered his store and attempted to shoot and rob. him, but in each case he has managed to escape injury.
 Judging from Bascom's actions Sat urday night robbery was not the motive of the attack and police Believe the sole purpose was to kill the Italian.
 When he remonstrated with them they began to throw at him with bottles and other articles. The Italian secured a pistol and tried to frighten the in truders out of the store. He was uri- able to use the gun for fear of shooting some of the negroes who had gathered on the outside to aid him.
 The wounded negro was removed to the Hillman hospital by Davenport and Harris. He is being held under. charge with intent to murder by City Detectives w. B. Helton and H. E. Morris.
