BLoNDs HEAVIER DRINKERS.
Mai. w. p. chamberlain Reports ON
Alcoholism Among Soldiers.

According to a report made by Maj.
w. P Chamberlain. of the Medical Corps,
the blond soldier in the Philippines is
heavier drinker than the brunette.
Otherwise the fair-haired man is just
as good as the man with raven locks,
when it comes to military conduct.
For the information OF those who con-
template joining the service, attention
might be called to Maj. Chamberlains S
statement that sickness in the soldier
group in the Philippines is more frequent
among blondS, while in the south con-
stabuary police group. the brunetteS
suffer the most. Maj Chamberlain's re-
port is in discussion of the question
whether blond or brunette soldiers are
better in the tropics. He says they are
on a par except for alcoholism.

HANDLING BIG INDUSTRIAL
 PROBLEM IN WRONG WAY

"The government is handling big industrial problem in the wrong way" said J. B. Babb, secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce. "The dissolution of so called trusts is an attempt to take a step backward. Great industrial com binations are the result of evolution they are the natural outgrowth of our business life. They are inevitable in the progress of human endeavor. They accomplish things that individual and independent concerns could never accomplish.
 What the government should do is to encourage this evolutionary trend but regulate their operations and keep them within proper bounds. You may say this is socialism, but it is the only proper way. The government cannot defy or turn permanently backward the evolutionary outgrowth of our mod ern industrial life
 "The presence of tho Steel corpor- ation in the Birmingham district has been of momentous benefit. It has en- tered into our lives. It has become one of us. It has been foremost in ev- cry effort of civic endeavor. It has put men here of the highest type of citizenship
 No public enterprise or private char ity has ever found other than sym pathetic ear from President Crawford Of the Tennessee company and this spirit has permeated the entire per sonnel of the Tennessee company here They are a part of us and have entered into the spirit of our ambitions in a most wholesome way and the people of Birmingham should stand by them."

THE LAST DRINK

Many and various are the uses of the humble alarm clock, and possibly they have been more roundly abused than any other article of household use. Few .bere are who have not had their more or less peaceful repose disturbed by the little tinkling nuisance but all will ad- init they serve a useful purpose.
 A new use has been found for them in Birmingham. They not only notify a fel- low to "get up," but are now being used to tell fellow to "get out
 The saloonists of Birmingham, mindful of the ultimatum laid down by the excise commission that the closing hour must positively be obeyed, have installed alarm clocks in their places of business, and at 10:45 o'clock the 'buzzer' gets busy. So does the late patrons, for by the time the tinkle ceases everybody has to be lon the outside looking in." The scheme works well for fellow might argue with the barkeep, but the little alarm knows no favorites, and from its "tinkle," once sounded, there is no appeal.

TELLS OF GOOD EFFECTS
 OF PLENTY OF CAPITAL

Erskine Ramsay, vice president and chief engineer of the Pratt Consol- dated Coal company and with G. h. Mccormack, owner of the Bank of Ems ley, said:
 Tn the early days the Tennessee company was always hard up. During the 15 years I was with that company as it's chief engineer we operated un- der difficulties which would be difficult to explain to the average man of the present day. The properties were not fully developed for want of means.
 "The corporation assumed control. Out of it's ample means and the un- surpassed skill and experience of its officials it went in to work up a great situation. Their plants are now as good as can be found anywhere and their working conditions have been wonder fully bettered. All this has come about almost entirely through the fact that the corporation had plenty of money to do things. Vast amounts of money have been spent here and the corporation has thereby shown its great faith in this district. This has induced faith in others.
 AS a result of these improvements In plants and operations the Tennes- see company can today make cheaper pig iron and steel than is possible any where in the world If the present suit of the government should result in the Tennessee Coal and Iron company being separated from the Steel corpor- ation it would compete for business under entirely different conditions ana would be able to successfully meet competition from all corners in it's own legitimate fields. Birmingham has noth ing to fear as a result of the courts s decision no matter which way it de- cideS the question:"

WEBB CRAWFORD THINKS
 TT WAS GREAT MISTAKE

w. W. Crawford, president of the American Trust and Savings bank, said:
 q cannot help saying that it was decidedly unfortunate when the cor poration was made a legal target as l feel that it was a huge mistake from the Birmingham viewpoint
 We cannot foretell with any great degree of accuracy how this corpora lion proposition will come out We think that 1t will be all right, vet We have not the full and complete in formation necessary for a logical opin- ion. I consider that the day was Q bright one when the Steel corporation came here and l would be one to wet come 19 others of the same kind
 They have done nothing but good here to my mind. They have improved the working conditions and they have merited the warm friendship that they enjoy from. the people and they do no; deserve the aspersions cast upon thern by some officials. l think the corpor- ation dispelled the dark cloud hanging over this district when 1t came and through its ample means and wise of ficials sent Birming gham up as no other factor has ever done.
 'The Steel corporation in owning the Tennessee company can supply the local company with all the money it needs and things could move on as they will eventually l hope. The dissolution case, however, Is very unfortunate"

HARKS BACK TO DAYS
 OF GREAT UNCERTAINTY

Sterling A. Wood. lawyer and former president Chamber of Commerce, said "The suit by the government to dis solve the United States Steel corpor- ation does not sound very pleasantly to me. We are forced to go back to the time when the Tennessee Coal and Iron company was merged into the Steel corporation, in part, and to re- call the facts which existed in this community at that time. The failure of the Southern Steel company, which was brought about by over capitaliza- tion was on; and the question was who was going to get in trouble next Rumors were very prevalent that other pa rites in the iron and steel business would be in trouble and this district was threatened with a reversal such as 1t had never had before It was not the fact that we did not have the iron ore and the coal and the lime rock in unbounded quantities and were ab,o to develop them, but it was the fear that the confidence of the public would be withdrawn, that those to whom money was due-but well secured would demand 1t, and that this dts trct would have a setback from which 1t would not emerge for years. It was argued then that we would be better Tor setback and be on a firmer basis when it was over. But this was H. logical, as there was no reason for the setback if we were men with brains and brawn enough to get along without, and to finally control the sit uation.
 "Out of this murky atmosphere came the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
