Enthusiastic Endorsement Is
Given Turner's Sugges-
ton for Celebration
IMBUE AFFAIR WITH
A CARNIVAL SPIRIT
Idea Is to Incorporate "Made in Bir-
mingham" Feature and to Have
General Celebration for
Prosperity of 1912

In February of 1918 Birmingham will
celebrate In honor of the 1872 season of
peace, plenty and prosperity. At the
same time the convention of the south
eastern division of the National Associa-
ton of Advertising Clubs of America
will occur here.
The suggestion that such action be
taken was made by Oscar c. Turner
John w Sibley, president, and w c..
Radcliffe secretary, of the Chamber OF
Commerce, are enthusiastic over the plan.
Action in reference TO making the plans
official will probably be taken by the
commercial organization in the near flu
ture.
I'VE should hold a pot-latoh, stated
Mr.. Turner yesterday. THE 'pot-lateh'
was a custom of the Indians. For good
crops, for victory in battle, for anything
of lasting benefit the first Americans
celebrated The custom was beautiful.
The present year has been one of I'M
paralleled prosperity. We owe thanks.
We should celebrate
President Sbley, In reference to the
plan said: "rhe idea is fine one. and
am in favor of putting 1t into effect,
We should celebrate both because we
have been blessed with peace and plenty,
and because of the fact that we are cele-
brating will attract the attention of the
world to Birmingham. Very few cities
have been able to hold a festival of
Thanksgiving.

phere, the breath of life) at this time In

danger in a dust bearing coal mine.
THE superintendent and mine foreman
may figure that 1t will take two months

it dangerous from dust. and that the

lines can wait a few weeks longer until

is drying out the dust, unless the neces-
sary moisture is artificially supplied

long at that rate to dry out an enormous

Secretary Radcliffe is equally as enthu-
siastic He said THE 'pot-latch' cele-
bration should be held in connection
with a made in Birmingham exposition.
The windows of the stores of the city
should contain only the products which
are manufactured In our city. The festi-
val should endure week. Every man,
woman and child in Birmingham should
assume the holiday spirit, and get to-
gether with a single thought of thanks
giving for the blessings that have fallen
upon us"
If the plans in embryo materialile the
slve scale There will be programme
for each day of the week. 1t is the inten-
ton of those behind the move to
have an Industrial parade each cay
at noon, and a holiday parade at
night, the latter to be based on the idea
of Mardi Gras with its floats, its allegori-
cal figures, its spirit of revelry and glad
ness.
Masquerade Ball Planned
Following the parade at night there
will he a gathering together of all the
people at which addresses viii be deliv-
cred and discussions had based on the
good things which have occurred in the
old year and the promise of the new.
The week of festivities will probably be
concluded with a masquerade ball of
great splendor and brlllianee.
1t is probable that no other idea has en-
countered the favorable reception than
that of the "pot-latch" has encountered.

Danger of Dust

tornado of fire. leaving death and destruc-
ton In its wake.
1.-THE nearest place to the intake dries
out first and the drouth creeps onward
with surprising celebrity until the incom-
ing ali has gathered its maximum rela-
tive saturation to the temperature of the
mine, and so on until the uttermost re-
cess of the mine is veritable powder
house unless the natural yield of water
in the mine sooner supplies the necessary
humidity.
TN order to insure proper and necessary
precipitation, the temperature Of the in
take air should be at all times or at least
during the night degrees higher than
the temperature of the return air, and
the humidity should be. If possible. great

warming and humidifvinR the intake air

may be desirable. but should not reduce
the temperature below the limit above
prescribed).
Steam or Warm Water
THE best mehtod of heating aud hui
modifying the intake air in winter il by
projecting into the intake air small jets
of steam or warm water. Steam Is cheap
er and more efficacious. Ordinarily the
exhaust from the fan engine Is sufficient,
however, when II Is very cold, steam froEl
the boilers may be necessary Only ex-
pericrce at the particular place can gov
ern.
"A fairly good and economical heater
and humidifier can be arranged by in
staling line of pipe along each side OF
the intake about opposite the center OF
the coal seam. In order that the pipe
may lie afterward used for other purposes
the jet vents can be bored in the
couplings. say three one-slxteenth inch
holes TO each Joint. The first vents or Jets
should be placed at least rs or 100 feet
inside the mine and the pipe lines should
extend as. much further as Is necessary
TO give the required results. remember

small pieces Of sheet iron and directed so
as not to strike persons In passing The
pipe should also be safeguarded so as 10
prevent persons getting burned IN pass
ing. Valves should be placed so as to reg
ulate amount Of steam used. and also at
intervals along the line so that as much
of the end of the line may be cut of as
desired. The vents can be plugged with
wood or re-opened as desired Experience

bishop was the Rt. Rev. DR.. Matthew
Harkins, bishop of Providence, who
this week celebrated the quarter-cen-

The choice of consecrating bishop
and of the church in which the con
secration is to take place is left en-

Bowling naturally preferred that he be
consecrated in the edifice of which he
has long been the spiritual head The
diocese of Des Moines is new one,
and Bishop Bowling will be the first
bishop of the Iowa capital.
Among the distinguished churchmen
here today was Most Rev. j. J. Keane,
Archbishop of the ecclesiastical prov
ince of Dubuque, of which the do
cese of Des Moines is a part. An i'm
posing array of other ecclesiastics
were in attendance, and the cathedral
was too small to accommodate the
host of the Bishop Dowling's friends
who desired to see the conservation
