1.-THE committee is still keeping fully
advised as to the situation. and we know
personally every man, woman and child
who was left in a destitute condition,
as a result of the fearful disaster. BY
being so familiar with the situation we
have been able to guard the fund and
to expend It only along the best lines and
in such a manner that the greatest good
would result
This weekly aid has been a Godsend to
most of the families and has encouraged
them to help themselves. We find that
more and more of them are securing
some means of making their living and
that they are becoming less and less de-

We still have considerable amount of
the fund and this will be distributed to
the best of our ability. 1t is large enough

BIRMINGHAM MAY
GET RIFLE RANGE
One viii be Established t r
Alabama National Guard
CLARK IS ENTHUSIASTIC
Meeting of Military officers is to Be
Held in Birmingham in Near Fu-
ture to Discuss Project-Gen-
erals Make an officer.

General Louis V Clark General Barry
l. Holt. and General r. F. Lyon, have
made an informal offer to equally share
the expenses of establishing and equpping
a rifle range for the use of the Alabama
National guard
The recent practice shoots at the sew
eral encampments of the National Guard
of Alabama, has stimulated an active IN
terest in target practice and the indica-
tions are that work will actually begin
on range in the near future. 1t will be
built at either Birmingham, Montgomery
or Mobile Birmingham seems to have the
better chance to secure the range
General Clark returned to Birmingham
yesterday from Montgomery where he in
spected the artillery and cavalry forces
of the state during the past week. He
said
considerable interest is now being
taken in the Alabama National Guard in
rifle practice. AT all of our recent en-
campments we have held successful
shoots. In each instance the Krag-Jorgen-
sen rifle, with which the infantry forces
are equipped, was used and the soldiers
handled the pieces well.
Tebbets Coming.
Mai. William f. Tebbetts of Mobile,
who Is inspector general of rifle practice
on my staff, will come to Birmingham
within short while, and we will meet
with the local officers and discuss the
matter of building rife range.
General Holt General Lyon and my
self have agreed to share equally the
cost of building range at some aceessi-
BILE point in Alabama for the use of the
entire militia.
major Tebbetts and myself Will dis
cuss with the officers the advisability
OF putting up the range below Cleveland.
This will be an ideal place If the land can
be secured We can perhaps build a 1900
yard range there and shooting against
the mountain thus celebrating any dan
ger of shooting anyone.
at costs considerable money to build
and equip a rife range and of course,
we will have to go by degrees, but we
hope in the course of time, to have as
fine a range in Alabama as the Avondale
range, off the coast of Georgia.
when the Alabama National Guard be-
comes thoroughly acquainted with the
rifle range 1t Is proposed OF pick an all
star team to send to Seagirt every year to
participate in the big shooting tourna-
ment.
Local National Guard officers are equal
~ as enthusiastic as General Clark over
the proposed rifle range.

The coal market is fairly active for
July. There is good demand for steam
coal.
The extension of the North Alabama
railroad from the Vulcan Mines about 20
miles into the Warrior coal fields will
open some of the richest deposits in the
state of Alabama The property belongs
to the Pratt Consolidated Coal company.
Erskine Ramsay, one of the officials of
the company said yesterday;
''.rhe Pratt Consolidated has about 75
900 acres of coal land which this ex-
tension of the North Alabama from the
Vulcan mines into the Warrior fields will
cause to be developed.
1.-The companys daily output at pres
ent is about 5000 or FOOD tons, while the
capacity is about 10000 tons daily. We
are working now on the Vulcan shaft.
At present the output there is only 200
or 300 tons daily. but this will be in
creased to 1000 tons per day as soon as the
shaft Is sunk and the mine is working to
its full capacity. The company Is plan
ming some extensive improvements in that
neghborhood.

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
Those That Rust Out Lose Youthful
ness Sooner Than the Busy and
Energetic Workers.

As a rule the women by whose
youthfulness have been struck most
have been famous workers, writes Rob
ert Hichens in the Sunday Magazine.
Men who work hard and successfully,
on the other hand, often appear care
worn and elderly before their time.
Women are becoming cleverer than
men are, in this way, as in so many
other ways.
In comparing the women who live
quiet country lives with those who
drain life to the dregs, must say
that my theories and those Of many
doctors have been upset. Age, in the
heart Of the country, seems generally
to make its appearance just when one
would expect it to do so. Country
women of 80 usually appear so. I be-
lieye that perpetual calm is decided
ly ageing, and that too much repose
even in fine air, induces a heaviness,
a phiegm. which shows youth quickly
to the door. The human vegetable Is
seldom or never young. 1t always
seems what we discreetly call "a good
age" But the surest way Of present.
ing youth is to keep your interest In
people and things.
Are modern women more keenly in
terested In their lives than modern
men in theirs, and is this the secret
Of their remarkable youthfulness?
Certainly the modern woraan's life Is
constantly becoming more varied, more
full. She does q thousand things now
that she used to leave undone. Beth
In work and in play she has far
better time. Perhaps that Is why she
is getting to appear so preposterously
young. She Is gazing toward the hori-
ION Of time, and watching the far
on figures Of coming joys, against
sky In which there are not 80 many
clouds as there used to be. Her youth
should put man on his mettle.
