.CLEANEST IF THEM sALL
 II GROWS TIE FASTEST
Really a Part of Birmingham With Rapid Transit the Measure of Distance-lts Convincing Ap-
 peal to Good Citizens.
BY JOHN SPARROW.

When the Age-Herald gave me com mission the other day to go out to Wood lawn and look into the reasons and causes for the growth of the town-to as certain just why it was setting the pace for all the other suburban towns which fringe around Birmingham-I must con fess that I did not set about the task with any supernuity of enthusiasm. You see, I have been writing about real es- 1 tate for several years, and couldn't scent anythingIn the work ahead which would draw me out of a well beaten path or in- | spire with any new ideas. In word, sized up the job as one of the perfunctory, stereotyped kind.
 | But l went out and looked around and 1 talked with some, prominent citizens and some who were not prominent. and when 1 boarded the car to return to the city am certain that l was eXuding enthusi- asm, for Woodawn, throwing off Wood- lawn electricity through the pores of my mental and physical makeup; and what I had undertaken as a piece of drudgery had been transformed into very pleas- ing privilege,
 The Clean Town.
 For, while l had discovered a score of reasons why Woodlawn was growing faster than any other suburb-if not faster than the city itself-the one reason upon which all others hung and the one which is nothing short of a direct mes sage to every municipality in this coun- tr. is the fact thc.
 Woodlawn is CLEAN town.
 Clean underfoot
 Clean in citizenship.
 Clean in the administration of it's af- fairs.
 Now, this is an old and universal truth. Cleanliness is the secret of all healthy growth. The farmer knows ne must keep his crop clean from grass and weeds if he would reap the harvest he desires AnC the mother knows that she must tub her child early and often if she would have the little ones checks glow with health and the young body vlbrate with vigor. And so the law of growth in the material and the spiritual dominions is summed up in the terse mandate-"Be
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-04-21

clean" But the rigid obedience to this law by a municipality Is somewhat of a novelty, we must admit; and when we find that virtue in the mass, on a broad scale, is its own and substantial reward, we may be pardoned if we eA- press some astonishment.
 However, as I said, there are other req some for the growth of Woodlawn, and I shall give them before present the mas ter one.
 A Natural "Home" Hub.
 In the first place, Woodlawn is a home hub, just as Birmingham Is the hub of the industrial district.
 Woodlawn is dropped with the uneer- inc precision of plummet. almost in the central space between East Birming- han and Gate City, and is the natural home place for the workers in those two important industrial centers, who wish to get away from the smoke and clamor of their daily toll in their own hours. She holds equally as commanding position with reference to Birmingham and thus has three great sources to draw upon for population.
 Splendid Transit Facilities.
 This at once suggests query as to transportation facilities. In this respect Woodlawn has superior advantages. One car line, running from Birmingham by way of East Birmingham to Gate City,

county trunk sewer-and. by the way, this work will be done and the system ready for connection June l. Only one negative vote was cast against the prop osition-by good and worthy man who just wanted to be different.
 Next month another election will be held to authorize the issue of $15,000 more sewer bonds, $l2,000 bonds for the erection of a city hall, jail and fire department building, 5000 for enlarging that big scnool house on the edge of Gibson Way. which we saw a few minutes ago, and $20,000 of bonds with which to provide money for additional street Improvements The election is accepted as a foregone conclusion, and the city authorities are preparing for the work just as if the votes had been counted.
 Now that's a pretty fair showing of public spirit, you'll admit. but there are two other facts which will impress you equally as forcibly with the up-to-date- ness O. the community-one Is that nearly 400 families are cooking with gas-and the other Is that the Baptists, Methodists and Presbyterians, although they already have zoe :. houses of worship, are preparing to replace them with finer structures. I am tod the new Baptist church will cost somewhere between $40.000 and s5o000.
 No Saloons-No Crime.
 Now that you have seen for yourself yourself. I'll go with you and tell you

ductor We'll you are in Woodlawn al- ready, and you'll ride for nineteen blocks before you are out of it-clear to Sixty sixth street. At this Forty-seventh street West Woodlawn-orf Gibson Way, as it is more generally known, begins. Beau tiful piece of property. isn't it? Note the well graded streets and the long strtch- es of white sidewalks. Look at the pretty cottages and larger houses-isnt the ar chitectural ensemble pleasing in it's va riety? Oh, yes, water, gas and electricity, same as in the city. Looks clean enough, doesn't 1t? We'll it ought to be- for there's no smoke and grime to defile it. Building up fast, you note. Why, of course-its the part of Woodlawn near est to Birmingham, and double track car line property like that has nearly all been taken. Prices high? Would you call $G00 for a lot in such neighborhood high? l don't wonder that you are amazed by the reasonableness of the figure.
 That big building over wonder is school house-its just on the edge of Gibson Way. They are going to build an addi- tion to it-can't accommodate the pupils now. To be sure there are few fam flies settled around it, and more coming all the time. Woodlawn has two more big school houses like that-one in the heart of the town and the other in the eastern end besides a school house for colored children and then there's the higi school. What are the educational standards and methods? Why, right in line with those of Birmingham, which are conceded to be the best in this section of the country.
 A Town of Home Owners.
 Well. we are out of Gibson Way and |, in WoodlaWn proper now. Pretty cottages, handsome two-story residences, trim lawns, flower gardens everywhere. Some of these houses would hold their own in the South Highlands, the swell residence section of Birmingham. You see therc are a good many business and profess

sional men living out here. They could have their homes on the South Highlands if they cared, but they prefer Woodlawn. Perhaps the fact that the social pace is not so strenuous out here has something to do with their choice.
 Everybody seems to be improving his place, you say-painting up, adding here and there. That's not strange when l tell you that 75 per cent of the people of Woodlawn own their homes. The home- owning fever is epidemic. Symptoms ap- pear in day or two after one has To- cated in Woodlawn and never leave the patient until he is under roof nobody elsa car claim.
 les, there are graded streets and stone sidewalks whichever way you look. Fifty thousand dollars has been expended in the past eighteen months for these improve ments The owners of abutting property are paying for them. Any grumbling? Scarcely a trace, as the weather man says in his reports. Owners find that such Improvements add g to the value of their property for every dollar they cos. And then it's against Woodlawn ethics to lick-unless it is for something better The slogan is we've got to have everything that Birmingham has except vice."

Denatured Alcohol.

The editor of the Rural New York
er says:
The experiment stations are test
ing alcohol as a substitute for gasO-
line or kerosene for light, heat and
power This is most useful work in
view of the interest taken in denatur-
ed alcohol The Iowa Station has
found that alcohol produces, on the
average, about 70 per cent. as much
heat and about the same of light as
an equal quantity of gasolene. To
compete economically with gasoline
a "a per cent. alcohol must be sold
for less than II centsSa gallon with
gasoline at 20 cents. 1t was also
found that alcohol in a proper lamp
will produce two to four times as
much light as kerosene in a wick
lamp. AS for power alcohol pro-
duces from oS per cent to IS per cent
as much as gasoline. 1t will thus
be seen that the future of alcohol
for these purposes depends upon it's
cost. At present it is not cheap
enough to displace gasoline.
The editor of Wallace's Farmer
says:
The farmers, through whose infu-
ence the denatured alcohol act was
passed, have been a good deal dis
appointed in that they have seen no
immediate results in the way Of the
establishment of farm distilleries.
Wallace's Farmer was very strongly
in favor of the enactment of this law,
but we did not expect any greater
results than have thus far appeared
The value of this law to the farmers
generally must necessarily be indi-
rect, resulting in the cheapening of
alcohol for manufacturing purposes,
thus developing a large number Of
small factories in the smaller towns,
and greatly cheapening in time a
large number Of articles in common
use in the manufacture of which
cheap alcohol is essential.
The Interpretation Of the law by
the revenue officials precluded the
establishment Of the small denatur-
ing disti1leries. A more liberal in
terpretation was made in July last,
under which farmer or association
of farmers can establish a dlstlllery
tor the conversion OF farm pTOduCtS
into denatured alcohol.
The revenue officials recommend
what they call cooperative neigh
borhood distillery, centrally located
and patronized by the farmers of the
neighborhood, in sections where corn
is cheap or where there is an amount
of farm products rich in carbon, such
as unmarketable potatoes. They be-
leve that a distillery of this kind
could be put up for $1,000 or $1,000,
which would have a capacity of 100 to
200 gallons per day.
An individual farmer might put up
a plant for $Ioo or upwards, but he
would not make very much alcohol.
Under the new regulations plants
having capacity of less than fifty
gallons in twcnty-four hours need no
inspection, nor do those having ca
pacity of more than fifty and less
than one hundred gallons, if the re-
venue officers are perfectly satisfied
that the interests of the government
will be taken care Of. Larger dis
tilleries require an Inspector
The new regulations, which went
into effect September Ist, and copy
of which can be procured by applica-
ton to the Department of Internal
Revenue, Washington, D. C., are
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-16

much more liberal than those here
tofore in vogue.
We do not expect the establishment
of any great number of cooperative
distilleries except in locations where
there is a large amount of ferment-
able farm products for which there is
no cash market We do expect that
in time farmers will grow potatoes
largely for the supply of cooperative
denatured alcohol distilleries. These
potatoes will be grown as they are
in Germany, not for the shape or the
color of the skin or smoothness or
the character of the eye, but simply
lor the production of starch, some
thing like the old 'Paddy's club"
grown in our boyhood, of which a
man could grow three hundred bushels
per acre quite as easily as he can
grow one hundred of the marketable
and more tender varieties in use now.
In short, the denatured alcohol act
has done all that we expected for the
time 1t has been in operation; and we
believe it will result in the establish
4nent OF small manufactures in towns
and smaller cities, where it could not
be done with taxed alcohol; that it
Will III time largely take the place of
gasoline for light motive power for
automobiles, gasoline engines, and
possibly for light in farm houses.

Canphor.
da Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
1t is very gratifying to me to learn
that at last there is capital that is
not afraid to venture in a commercial
camphor plantation in Florida. There
cannot be any failure if a practical
field man is at the head and takes a
practical course in his work and is not
hampered by too much red tape from
headquarters. Camphor trees can
be grown as cheap on thousands Of
acres Of the cheap lands Of Florida,
and the gum can be distilled and ex-
tracted as cheap as in Formosa
| fear the method advised from the
Texas man would not do, that is, the
moving Of the young trees a loot
above the ground. If this plan should
be followed during the growing sea-
son the result would be the killing
Of the root and the loss OF the stock
The better system would be to remove
a portion of the tops at time, when
ever the trees are large enough to be-
gin such removal say when the trees
are four years old, and such removal
could be followed up three or even
four times during growing season
The freezing Of the wood does not
injure it for removing the gum and
the roots will send out vigorous
sprouts again and by fall there will be
as much available wood as before the
freeze.
| beg to differ with those who say
the Japanese control the entire cam
phor districts of the Asiatic Islands
that produce camphor trees The
mainland of Asia produces large
quantities of camphor trees, yet but
few Of these countries have given any
attention to making or producing cam
phor. Siam has a large acreage Of
canphor trees and evidently in time
will produce camphor The extreme
southern United States has enough
available land to produce enough
camphor to supply the world
