house today by a vote of 1926 to Ga
voted in favor of thorough inves-
tigation of the charges that a ship
subsidy lobby is operating in Wash
ington for the purpose of influence
ing congressman in favor of ship

The action is a result of a COM

 Two of these plants are yet being oper- ated by the Southern Clay Manufacturing company and are making excellent paw irg brick < few years later Capt W ii. Graves, one of Birminghom's most substantial citizens, was tod by vislt

But if they xould look a little closer into their home manufacturing plants they will find in- vested in Jefferson county over half million dollars in up-to-date paving brick p!ants, which employ 400 to 5ee men, and ,1ese men are paid in cash each week ana make good citizens.

Cuban ports is Of the utmost importance to this district While the export trade has not reached any great extent, the fact that there have been several big ship rncnts of brick into Mexico and Cuba in- dicates demand which can be met from this district. The government has used Birmingham brick for roadways In Charleston, s. C., Fort De Sota, Fla. and Fort Morgan, Ala, while cities like Sa- vannah. Jacksonville, Tampa, Mobile, New Orleans, Pensacola, Atlanta, Mont gomery and Memphis have all contribu- ted to the upbuiding of Birmingham through these enterprises. Many coun- ties in the southern states have construct ed county roads with brick.
 An idea of the extent to which the shaic industry has already reached may be round in the reply of the foreman of the Graves Shale Paving Brick company, when citizen, looking down into the big snale pit from which the material has been taken for the past 10 years asked: How many skyscrapers could be built with the brick that has come from that nitY" After thinking a moment, the fore man replied: T should say 1c0."
 The enormous deposits of c9rboniferous shales in such close proximity to the coai enables the companies to mine and de- Ever to the machinery all their raw ma terial at a minimum cost of handling Immediately beneath the shale lies 2 quantity of coal in a six-foot vein, which is delivered to the power plant and the kilns at a minimum cost. It is doubtful whether there Is any place in the whole south where such advantage for this in- dustry can be found.

Galveston, December By rising vote the Texas conference Of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, adopt ed the report presented by committee presented to investigate rumors touching the character of Dr. w.

 The charges were based on statement made by Rev. w. F. McMurray of St. Louis
 The report of the committee states 'That we extend to pr. Andrews our hearty vote of confidence as man and a minister of the gospel, of high Chris tian character and that he has conducted himself above reproach in most deii- cate situation and under trying condi' tions. and we pledge hip our sympathy ano support in any attack made upon ms reputation and standing as a Cnristlar minister and member of the Texas con fctence"

You want to know that your milk sup ply is pure or as pure as human skill and care can make it. Perfection in the handling of dairy products Is next to impossible under the most favorable con- ditions and best management and the pptiic is always at the mercy of careless dairymen or indifferent inspection meth ods
 Birminghams milk supply Is drawn from more than 100 registered and other dairies located within radius of % or 9 miles from Birmingham. A small proportion comes from a greater dis tance but is just as available when prop erly handled.
 Indeed so strong Is the demand for pure milk that the trade is now looking for a larger source of supply than the i'm mediate Birmingham district. Some ex- cellent dairies are being established in the agricultural sections 50 and 100 miles from Birmingham and the city trade is looking to some of these establishments to help supply the ever growing de- mand.
 The recent increase in the price of dairy products Is said to be the result of inadequate supply and either the local dairies will have to largely increase their output or the field of supply must be br oadened.
 There Is hardly an industrial opening iu the Birmingham district that offers better opportunity for remuneratiye in- yestment than intelligent dairying. The natural facilities in Jefferson county are as good as in most any county in the state when all things are considered and lrtyi,a m rlr is faL Int there could hardly be a better location. Those dairymen in the county who | have adopted the modern methods have taken care of judicious management and | insured the maximum of possible sanita-
 ton have succeeded and are making money.
 | Most of the dairies in the district l have been greatly improved during the past few years and there Is strong tendency for still further improvement
 Careful public inspection and a. desire on the part of the dairymen for com.
 petitive mastery have combined to- brins up the standard of efficiency and quality of the supply. Modern methods ant l equipment have helped. The dafrymen as a rule, have shown an eagerness fol expert information and are grasping ou for every bit of advance information available.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Appreciates pr. Eaves' Article

To the Editor of The Herald:
 That was 8 most admirable article of pr. George Eaves, published in Sun days Age-Herald and will be productive of much good. To have such mar in our imdst is blessing. He mentions the danger of the disregard of the law. men assuming powers that they do not possess and the strong forcing their fellow men to submit to wrong and restraint He reflects a beautiful mind and a pure heart in his desire to con- cil.ate.
 His mention of the boy and Dixie is touchinglv sweet. As a Confederate soldier I desire to say that 1 do not know who was responsible for our great civil war; but this I do know that the spirit of concession exhibited by the south failed to produce cor responding spirit in our countrymen of the north. Finally we were forced to resist ard it is known by all men with what skill and gallantry. How ever. the past is past, peace to the dead good will to the living.

While the eye of the world and the minds of most Birminghamians have been centered upon the wonderful resources Of the iron and coal industries in the dis trict. many of the other potentialities of the mineral belt have bee9 overlooked.
 But with the new spirit which census figures and activities of great corpora tions have aroused, staid old citizens are being startled by realization of the un- told and varied wealth which lies Just under the ground. Some minds have turned to the development of the gas and oil fields, and others to the many by products of the mineral industries.
 This new appreciation of Birmingham and homemade products is responsible for the Trade at Home" clamor. and one of it's geratest discoveries is that of the enormous possibilities of the unlimited deposits of shale overlyins the coal meas ures.

 business men. who have always evidenced great civic pride, upon recently visiting the four shale paving brick plants in lief ferson county. were amazed to learn that over $60000 Is invested In this industry and that the development of the shale de- poslts is still in it's infancy.
 100000 Paving Brick Daily
 It Is perhaps little known that right here in Jefferson county are being turned out over 100000 paving brick daily, exact ly similar to those which make the ln- disnapolis motor speedway famous, and are used in the roads around Cleveland, Ohio, the most perfect in the country. While the enormous investments in coal, Iron and steel plants have overshadowed tho smaller enterprises which go to make up the diversified manufacturing so es- sential to the welfare of the district, men have failed to see that this industry is rot only to furnish its products to Bir- fningham, where 1t lives and breathes, but to all the other southern cities which will outstr1p the cities of all other sec tuns during the next ten years In munich pal Improvements.
 But the shale brick business differs from many others in that 1t is a home in- dustry. Every dollar spent in brick pave ment anywhere in the south remains in Birmingham. Nothing. goes into the man. ufacture of the paving brick but home material and home labor

Dow, of the United States department of agriculture, and 1t is said to be the best and most sani- tary in the Birmingham district It is thoroughly drained, dust and air-tight. and is well lighted and has all approved ventilation arrangement:
 The barn will accommodate 30 cows. The capacity will be doubled during the coming year.
 Two large sllos of concrete, each 10 by 30 feet, will be built at once and a modern milkhouse has been planned and work is to begin on it at once. The milkhouse will be in convenient proxini- ty to the barn and will be arranged so that the stream of fresh water from the spring a few yards away will run di- recently through it in concrete adqua- duct.
 MT. Baker has supplied his plant with every modern convenience in the way of serarators, testers and other up-to-date appliances and has taken every possible precaution to insure thorough sanitation and the maximum of cleanliness.
 Mir. Baker has the reputation with those who are familiar with his methods of being one of the most progressive and conscientious dairymen. not only in the district, but in the state. He Is one of the very few dairymen who keeps a. strict account of every item of cost and expenditure. It is said that he knows what every pound of butter and every pint of cream costs and also knows the exact quality of his products.
 Mr. Baker has built for his family one of the prettiest homes in Shades valley, not far from the dairy barn. He has one son now at Auburn taking course in agriculture with special reference to dairying.

to be shown by the fact that the civil
