RECORDS IN FARE REBATES
BY BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE

In the last five weeks the rebate bust
ness of the Business Mems League 10
out of town customers has been heavier
than ever before in the history of the
league for this season of the year. Sec
retary Sam Fowlkes estimated yesterday
that in that time rebate checks had been
issued to nearly 800 out of town shop
pers.
That Birmingham is becoming trade
mart for Alabama people and surround
ing territory is an established fact and
the Business Mems League is constantly
working in every way to foster and de-
velop this out of town business. For any
out of town individual to secure q rebate
from the league it is necessary that they
come 25 miles to get to the city and buy
S25 worth of goods. In this case they are
paid their railroad fare mile both ways
for every dollars worth purchased.
There has not been single week in
the past five but what there have been

OF CARLOAD

Montgomery May 3.-(Special)-When
the railroad commission of Alabama
meets in regular monthly session on next
Monday, the. most important question
which will come before that body will be
the matter of promulga ting an order re-
quirng the reweighing of carload ship
ments on all the railroads of the state.
All of the railway lines have been cited
to appear before the commission for the
consideration of the question, and indica-
tions are that the matter will be one of
live interest and Importance. The order
calling upon the railroads to send repre-

should not be entered was issued several

GYPSY PROBLEM SOLVED
Now on Private Property and Police
Will Not Interfere, Says Lane

That so far as the police department
was concerned the gypsy problem at Idle
wild park was solved, was statement of
Commissioner Lane yesterday He stated
that the gypsies had removed from the
city property to that owned by individuals
and whatever relief was wanted would
have TO be secured from the courts.
In connection with the gypsy situation
that has caused some discussion during
the past few days it was asserted by
Judge Lane that reports of sanitary ill.,
spectors indicated that the camp. was
very sanitary and did not present any
problem of health that was worth con-
sidering at this time.

Protecting Rare Birds

The demand for furs and feathers to
add charm to the women of the world is
constantly running counter to the enorts
of governments and scientists to pre-
serve the birds and animals whose lives
are sacrificed to supply these adorn-
ments. Birds of paradise are found In far
Africa, but the sale for their feathers for
woman's wear is so profitable that meas
ures for their protection must be adopted
by the parliaments of nations, else they
soon would be eXterminted.
Professor Schillings, the German natu-
ralist who made reputation for himself
by his camera studies of animal life in
the wilds of Africa, is urging the govern
ment to take energetic steps to prevent
the determination of these birds in Ger
man New Guinea. He points to the ex-
ample of British New Guinea, where the
government prevents altogether the ex-
port of the plunes of the bird. In the
Germany colony. on the other hand the
authorities grant permits to shoot 1t TO
anv man who clears and brings under
cultivation 123 acres of original forest for
the German New Guinea company. Schll-
lings hints that whites, with hunting
rights. compel the natives to assist them
in finding the birds by turning their guns
upon them in case of refusal. SchillingS
apepals TO the German government 70
initiate the American example and pro-
hibit altogether the importation of featli-
ers for millinery and similar use. Austria
liza. too, he says, prohibits both the inn
port and export of plumes Of birds
threatened with determination. A law
against such imports has been passed by
the British house of lords, but the COM
mons have not Yet passed it, using the
argument that Germany and France
would derive. the chief benefit from such
legislation. Professor Schillings is great
~ concerned also about certain fur bear
ing animals He thinks it is only a ques-
ton of time when the polar bear. the
musk-ox and the silver fox will be prac-
uoally extermineted. Whales and seals
are yearly growing scarcer in the arctic
and antarctic waters; in the vast forests
of Russia the sable is rapidly approach

\ Virginian by birth and Missourian

a Washingtonian by virtue of long resi-

made this city his home, after retiring
from active political life, and his influence

its advancement and its prosperity. He
became citizen of the capital in the best
sense of working for its development as

his death as loss. In his days of politi-

of the north Atlantic by an international
fleet of scout ships, sending wireless re-
ports to both sides, results in full 1nfor-
nation for the guidance of navigators. In
these circumstances it would seem i'm
possible for a disaster of the proportions
of the Titanic to be repeated. Yet with
all the precautions of construction and
equipment and patrol, safety in the ice
infested waters of the north Atlantic de-
Ponds upon the men the bridges who

port. The Titanic. comparatively fraiI as
it was and insufficiently supplied with
lfeboats. would probably never have gone
to the bottom if it had not been driven
at racing speed through a portion of the
sea known to be occupied by floating ice.
That horror was due directly to the de-
sire to make a striking performance on
the maiden voyage of the vessel and to
an almost incredible lack of appreciation
of the danger of such a reckless run
through the ice field. Much good has UNI
doubtedly been done by the Investigations
into this tragedy conducted in Washing
ton and in London. and sea traffic is safer
at this time in consequence, but nothing
that has been accomplished during this
past year in the direction of greater
safety 1t sea can possibly atone for the
horrible waste of life that resulted from
the Indifference to peril which was the
real cause of the Titanics loss. Faith in
the unsuitable quality of the ship
pride in her as the largest and seemingly
best appointed of modern passenger car
riers, and ambition to make a record
combined to WELD a catastrophe which
sent sorrow into all parts of the world.
1t sobered those who thought they had
conquered the sea, and men now APP
proach with a new sense Of responsible
ity and more wholesome concept of
human limitations the task of construct
ing and operating the monsters plying on
the great international ferry. For those
who were lost year ago on the Titanic
there are today thoughts of affectionate
memory. accompanied by the hope that
their sacrifice was not wholly in vain if
il has resulted in a decrease in the dan
gers of the
