To the woman who expects
to make an extended trip and
who wishes to wear one
of the new model fall
suits, this is exceptionally
good news. Mr. Pizitz, while
in New York, bought from
one of the largest suit man
ufacturers a line of new fall
suits. These suits are made
of the best and most wanted
fall fabrics, including the
• new mixtures and all the
new weaves in the prevail
ing colors. The tailoring of
these suits is perfect and the
styles are absolutely guar
anteed. Mr. Pizitz gives his
personal guarantee to any
one buying one of those suits
that the style is absolutely
correct and will he the pre
vailing style for this, com
ing fall season. In buying one
of these garments you will
run absolutely no risk what
ever, as this personal guar
antee holds good until Nov
ember, and if the style is not
correct we will replace the
suit you buy now with a new
one. We would he glad for
you to call today and
look them over, as we are
sure you will be pleased—in
fact, more than pleased with
their beautiful style and
looks. Prices, of course, are
reasonable. See them.

was led into the place of worship on
the Eord’s day when he was over 100
years old and, being too infirm to hold
the full service, extended his hands in
blessing and said: “Little children,
love one another.” His epistles are all

Aspiring Young Twelve-Year-Old Artist Whose I
Ambition Is to Be a Second Cartoonist Blackman
By DOLLY DALBYMPLK ,
f-“
L_
THERE is scarcely a person In the
south who doesn't enjoy the
clever work of Mr. Walter
Blackman, the Age-Herald's splendid
cartoonist.
His work is commented upon favor
ably by everybody, and that his origi
nality and unusually artistic ideas
have given unlimited pleasure to the
thousands of readers of his paper is
unquestioned, but it has remained for
m youngster in Birmingham—a little
12-year-old fellow, to Idealize him
and take his work and talent as an
example of the highest type of art and
try to follow in his footsteps.
The old saying is that 'imitation is
the sincerest form of flattery." and if
this be true, then Mr. Blackman must
be flattered to death by the higli re
gard that this little fellow holds
him in.
1 haven't even told you the name
af our little hero yet, but I'm coming
Lo that.
A few days ago when I was ferret
ing about in the book department at
Loveman, Jospeh & Loeb s—the one de
partment of all others in this mam
moth establishment that I could easily
spend hours and hours in and never
?ro\v tired—I chanced to stumble
i cross the youngster through Mr.
Leopold I^oeb's kind introduction, who
inspired this story.
Often you find genius tucked away
n a remote corner, struggling for ex
stence and "many a gem of purest ray
serene," wasting its sweetness on the
lesert air. but young Mr. Eddie Stack
sn't destined to remain always un
known and unseen at the "information
lesk. Oh, no; not lie; because between
lines when he isn't busy he’s doing
hlngs with a pencil and pen.
Nobody is exempt from young Mr
Stack's vivid imagination; he'll "car
oon" you at the drop of a hat; com
mit your likeness so cleverly to paper
hat there'll be no mistake about wh*
le has in mind, or who he puts on
♦ cord, and even such important pen
ile as Mr. M. V. Joseph. Mr. Jeromt
Sterne, Mr. Waldo, Mr. Schwartz. Mr
Linsted and even Mr. Leopold Loch
limself needn’t try to prove an alibi
vhen his likeness is jotted down b>
-bis clever young artist.
Edie Stack and one of his original
drawings showing soldiers going to
war—Photo by Baird
Eddie Stack is as bright as a dol
lar—as alert and as clever as a boy
twice his years, and his talent for
drawing is quite remarkable.
He wants to be a second Cartoonist
Blackman, because, as he says, "it
gives people so much pleasure to do
clever things, and Mr. Blackman know
how', all right.”
His little boyish face brightened
perceptibly when I insisted upon his
coming out in the open and telling me
[about himself and showing me some of
his "sketches;”
"There isn’t much to tell about myself."
he said timidly, his big, wide-open eyes
smiling back as I insisted upon the re
cital of his career," which is very brief.
‘ I’ve been working at Loveman, Joseph
& Loeb’s two years, and T think they are
mighty fine people to work for. .1 haven’t
been- to school in those two years, but he
iore I went to work I studied drawing
a little bit. The public schools, you know,
teach drawing, and all I know I learned j
there. I don’t always mean to be an j
amateur, but some of these days I am j
going to he a sure enough cartoonist like
Mr. Blackman. He’s the best I ever saw. j
I never miss a copy of The Age-Herald
.••■••§••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••■•»•••••■»
I
If T can help it, just so I can see his
work.”
“Are there any more at home like you?”
I asked, feeling that I would like to cor
ral a couple or two of them if such was
the case. ,
The little felow smiled and told me about /
the half dozen children in the family, four
boys and two little girls, but Eddie is
the only artist, hut, then, that’s as much
as any or.e family could expect.
The boy really is a wonder, especially
considering the fact that he has had so
little instruction.
When I asked him how he’d like to really
and rightly study the beaming joy in his
bright eyes and the expectant expression *
on his round, little, chubby face, indicated
far more plainly than any mere words
could express the pleasurable anticipation
• of such a thing in his little heart.
“I just wish I could, but it costs such
a lot of money to take drawing lessons,
but I'm going to try and save up enough
out of my salary to do that very thing
one of these days.”
I thought to myself here is an oppor
tunity for some wealthy person to do a
good deed and give this clever little fel
low the chance that he so much wants.
It would be a case of casting bread upon
the waters to find it after many days
redouoled, for Eddie Stack not only has
talent, but ambition, integrity and a gen
uine desire to "make good.”

Albino Lake Trout
From the Washington Star.
Among the Interesting exhibits at
the New York aquarium is a collection
of albino trout. These creatures, which
are all of a clear cream white. Includ
ing fins, with no color about them ex
cept that of their characteristic bright
ruby-red eyes, are most striking and
curious in appearance.
in its natural coloring the lake trout
shows on Its upper body white or gray
ish spots on a brown background. On
the larger albino lake trout the spots
can be discerned, appearing as very
faint spots of the same color, but of a
different weave in a woven fabric.
Thes8~spots show so faintly that they
would never he noticed by one un
familiar with this species and ita mark
ings. To the casual eye these fishes pre
sent bodies of solid unbroken white.
The lake trout is a handsome fish,
and these albino trout are perfect speci
mens without a blemish. They appear
not as freaks, hut simply as graceful
and beautiful white fishes. To display
them to greater advantage by contrast
the larger albino trout are shown in a
tank of brook trout.
