The “beautiful mile” idea, we un- |: derstand, originated in the mind of Billle M#ftby, the manager of the club, who is'actively engaged in work- ing out the details of the club. In our opinion he has iconceived an idea which is going to. result in great good in the building of*better roads, better bomes, and the making of a better cit- izenship. The idea is taking root in other sections, and we would. not be surprised to see . “beautiful mile” elubs organized all, over Alabama with- in the next 12 months, The idea-will be carrled into:'the towns and eities and “beautiful street” clubs will be organized. Everybody 'will want to live on a “beautiful mile” road or a “beautiful street” And, in the lan- guage of the Bikmingham News, Billie Maltby has ‘Started something which is going to kéep the eyes of the public on the origil ‘beautiful , mile” club.

They were seated a few minutes, and Aleck observed that Sidney was smiling cordially into sphace. There was no one near by except a flapper with an expressive back, the back be- ing toward Aleck and Sldney. “You act like a lunatic in the mak- ing,” said Aleck. “What are you grin- ning at in that iced cantaloupe sign for?" “I'm not. I'm looking at the peach. Ain't she a bear?” Then Aleck, gazing in the direction he saw Sid's eyes were bent, looked in the mirror and was confronted by the gaze of the flapper with the eéx: pressive back. He saw that she had an expressive face. She was return- ing Sid’s grin with an extra measure.

It is rather curious that dogs bark only when they are connected with hu- man beings in some fashion; for in- stance when a burglar is suspected to be near. When the dog is alone, he is given to groans, growls, howls or whines, Possibly the act of barking is the dog's method of talking. It would seem like it when your pet dog sees you carrying food and barks as if he were asking for’'it. Another dog, which is in the habit- of going to hed at sundown, will bark to tell you that l be fs ready when thg time comes.
