u1LC1 d1AB anu BLU OAJOJ O0 ,etty triumph Of dislodging 'd's other flames, basking incandescence of his urban devetions, fencing off his expert thrusts and subtle strategems. Kitty was thoroughly enjoying her self. She now had a rich boob whom she sort of liked and who didn't give her the heehie jeebies, she had security, she had a name that made trades men and upstarts jump, and she had a handsome roue of the most enticiug big-league mold doing his stuff for her with all the thrills of secrecy, sus- pense, surprise, romance and that greatest of all dramatic elemants-''dan- ger"
 But such things cannot remain static. They must progress, retrogress. bub- hle over or peter out. She had to let Kennard creep along or lose him, or lose interest in him.
 He had never dared en- ter even the hotel where she lived until one day he came by unexpectedly and ventured into the lobby to phone an uncompromis- ing but to her decodable message over the house wire. No earthquake fol- lowed, so next time he ac. companied her. against

LEGION TO STAGE
 ARMISTICE DANCE
Event Will Be Staged At Audi
 tOrium Nov. II

The light fantastic will be tripped for the first time in Birmingham's new municipal auditorium the night of No- vember Il, when the Birmingham Post of the American Legion will stage an elaborate ball in celebration of Armis- tice day. Plans are being made to make it the greatest social event in the his tory of Birmingham, and the Legion is planning to entertain 5000 dancing cou- ples on the floor, with fifteen hundred spectators looking on from the bal cony.
 Arthur Greenwood, post commander, stated Sunday that more couples would keep step to the rythmic music the night of November Il than had ever ap- peared on a dancing floor at one time in Alabama before. '"The massive floor space of the auditorium will enable us to take care of 5000 couples" said MT. Greenwood. ''Of course everybody in Birmingham will want to celebrate with ex-service men the signing of the ar mistice, and an added incentive will be that everybody in Birmingham will want to take part as dancing is staged in the new auditorium for the first time."
 In addition to the big ball the legion is planning to stage a beauty contest, awarding three handsome trophies to the three prettiest women on the floor. Every girl in Birmingham is eligible to this competition. All that is necessary to enter is to mail her intention of do- ing so to MT. Greenwood in care of Greenwood's cafe or to Box 2472, city. Immediately her name will be entered in the competition and she will be sent admission tickets free of charge for her and her escort.
 Major Matt Murphy has been placed in charge of the committee on the beau- ty competition. Arthur Greenwood is chairman of the general committee. Hadley Jordan will be in charge of features and refreshments. R. H.

CLOE ADDRESSES
 BESSEMER CLASS
Ausman Returns From Meeting Of Civic Club
 Secretaries

BESSEMER, Ala, Oct. 26.-W. B, Cloe, commissioner of public safety for Birmingham, addressed the members of the New Era Baraca class at their meeting Sunday in the inferior court room of the county court house. The 150 members present gave Mir. Cloe the closest attention and were much im- pressed by his remarks. Commissioner Cloe spoke feelingly of the results of the loose thinking and acting which apparently characterizes the present day as these results were reflected in the cases which daily came before him for consideration.
 Stating that it seemed to be the case that many parents of today grant their children far too much liberty he gave it as his opinion that this lack of parental supervision was responsible for much of the present juvenile delin- quency. He further stated that a far more careful adherence to the tenets of the Christian religion was the only remedy he could. see for present day tendencies.

WOULD EQUALIE
 TONNAGE NEEDS
Even Distribution Sought To Avoid De-
 pressiOn

An effort to evenly distribute the an- nual tonnage requirements of railroads and steel users will be made by steel makers here and elsewhere to eliminate if possible, periods of depression and slack operations.
 Just at this season the mills in Bir- mingham are booking orders for next year delivery which is true of mills in all sections of the country, many of which have been struggling along all during the summer without orders and operating less than 50 per cent, while these orders were known to be Tn pro- cess of release. Had the orders now breaking been given during the sum mer it would have saved the disintrga- tion of many organizations and pro vided employment for mill men during the dull periods of the summer.
 The Birmingham district has, in times past, suffered from the delay in expected orders. The injury is chiefly in the east. It is stated that steel users are to be asked by the manufacturers to agree to place a certain tonnage every month during the year, thus eliminating the dull periods.

Huge sabre-toothed tigers are the playmates of Mabel Stark, intrepid woman trainer with the Ringing and Barnum and Bailey circus, coming here Thursday. [
 Miss Stark abandoned the nursing profession to become a trainer and ex- hibitor of wild animals, and ayers that tigers are easier to train than hus- bands, as she has. tried both.
 According to Miss Stark, it is nerve. not nerves" that form the best asset for a wild animal trainer, and she, at- tributes the secret of her control over a group of 12 tigers to the fact that she does not ''know the meaning of the word nerves"
 Says Miss Stark: My 'cats'-as I call my big pets-all love me, and we work together like kids playing to- gether."
