Underwood Returns To Washington

Congressman Oscar w. Underwood left
Birmingham yesterday for Washington
after spending several weeks among the
friends of his district.
Mr.. Underwood stated before leaving
that he had enjoyed his stay immensely,
had found all his old friends would sup
port him in the coming election and
everything all right in the district
However, he was restless to get back to
the activities of the capitol and hopes that
the national legislature may at least pass
a few laws during this session. He stated
that he believed the democratic minority,
with Congressman Williams at its head,
would be able to bring relief on some
points at least.

Practical Test Made Of Wa.

The test took place off Pine Beach,
near the Jamestown exposition
grounds, where the monitor was an

age done to the vessel is very SER

say that the test is satisfactory.
They assert that battleship equip
