APPROPRIATION FOR NAVAL FLYING CORPS
 TO BE SUBMITTED
Tentative Measure Also Provides for Increasing Number of Midship-
 men by One-Half

Washington, December 11.-Creati tion of a naval flying corps, establishment of a school for trainng navy aviators and in- crease in the number of midshipmen at the Naval academy by about one-half are proposals included in tentative draft of the naval appropriation bills, some de- tails of which became known tonight.
 The proposed increase in the Naval academy would permit each senator to appoint three midshipmen instead of two as at present
 Provision is made for 150 officers and $50 enlisted men in the flying corps. For two years after passage of the act the Sec retary of the Navy would be empowered to appoint the junior officers and five warrant officers year from civil life on provisional commissions, to be revoked in two years unless the officers prove fully qualified as aviators After the passage of two years all officers of the corps would come from the ranks of the student aviators. The aviation school would furnish a two-year course
 A reserve corps of aviators also is pro- vided for, to be composed of men trans ferred from the active service and the surplus of graduates from the school, and also open to qualified civilians. A training of from two weeks to a month annually is planned for the reserve.

Hawaiian Tapa Designs From the Washington Star.

An article in Commerce Reports says: The art of making fiber cloth, as prac- ticed by the Hawaiians up to the period when the New England missionaries ar rived in the Hawaiian Islands-1S20-is now almost a lost art, and except for a large, but exceedingly rare collection on display behind glass at the Bishop Mu- scum, Honolulu, Hawaiian tapas are now regarded as expensive relics.
 Tapas still continue to come into the market from Samoa and from Tahiti and are bought by travellers as Hawaiian ta- pas. As a matter of fact tapa fiber cloth is no longer made in Hawaii.
 In ancient days Hawaiians made their tapas from wood fiber, which, with water added. was reduced to a pulp. To make it into cloth the water was squeezed from the pulpy mass, which was then placed upon smooth logs and beaten with spe- cially prepared sticks In this way the mass was gradually worked into large, thin sheets, and when dry was of the consistency of papyrus or smooth, stiff paper.
 The Hawaiians carved designs on heavy wood sticks and with pigments secured from sea mosses, ground ochre and plants. the designs were stamped into the wet fibre. These designs were somewhat crude, but quite effective. After the ar rival of the missionaries some ow the designs were copied from gipgham and called cloths brought from New Eng

Cut Out All Waste Motion

From the Washington Star.
 There is no waste on any kind in the world that equals the waste from needless, ill-directed and ineffective motions, and their resulting unneces- sary fatigue"
 fore the American Academy of Political and Social Science by Frank Gilbreth the man who discovered lost motions in bricklaying and who has since de- voted his time to scientific motion study.
 Devising ways of preventing this waste is now occupying a great deal of attention, and bringing to economy of labor the application of scientific principles has caused a readustm lent of working conditions in many indus tries. The application of so-called eff ciency methods in business means sim ply showing an exact regard for the re- lation of labor to a given task so that there shall be no waste effort Our offices and factories are being read justed so that time and unnecessary steps shall be saved
 Establishing motion standards for the performance of routine work has resulted in increased output and in creased wages, with an accompanying g decrease in cost, MT. Gilbreth points out that most of us do not stop to think about the time we waste in the performance of ordinary duties.
 It is declared that what motion study has done for the industry it will do for all human activities. and that a little more clear thinking about the things we do-a little less senseless hurry and at the end of the day we will have attained greater accomplishment with less fatigue, and will be in better sorts with ourselves and the world.

MUCH TOENCOURAGE IN BUSINESS REPORT All Activity Still Tempered by Abundance of Caution NEW ORLEANS MEET First National Bank Issues Monthly Review-Revival of Past Few
 Months Little Short of
 Phenomenal
NEW ORLEANS MEET

The monthly review of business condi- tions compiled by the First National bank of Birmingham was issued yesterday and reads as follows:
 "A review of conditions for the closing month of the year, reveals a decided tone of betterment from all sections of the country. There may be found many evil dences of fundamental causes for a con tinuous activity in business, including good prices and a fair demand for agri- cultural products and live stock, increas- ing railway tonnage and earnings, a greater lack of unemployed, better mar kets for lumber, oil and metals, a recur- ring need for manufactured products and a plentifulness of money for every legiti- mate commercial project.
 For some weeks the greater impetus toward better times has been in the di- rection of supplying the needs of the for eign markets, but now the domestic in dustry has begun to assert itself more strongly with the result that communi- ties, other than those favored with op- portunities to grow or manufacture cer- tain exportations to satisfy the demands of warfare, are resuming rather normal proportions in volume of transactions with a consequent increase in the degree of liquidation. A continuous growth of such & comparison in favor of a purely in- ternal progress, would reduce the some what substantial fear of the student of economic conditions, who is concerned about an excessive and too rapid com mercial responsiveness, in the face of a future so entirely obscure. Even the reck- less must know that the past contains no parallel for our guidance in forecast ing the requirements Of the approaching seasons. and that any analysis of condi-

ALDR|CH ID REMAIN FOR 3 WEEKS LONGER
Will Continue as Postmaster Until First of the
 Year

Col. Truman H. Aldrich will remain on the job at the postoffice until the first of the year.
 Yesterday the four-year term of Colonel Aldrich as postmaster expired, but by Management with his successor, R. B. Sm. CT, the present incumbent at the fed eral building, will hold forth for another three weeks. This is done to avoid con- siderable expense to the government.
 It was stated yesterday by Colonel Aldrich that if he retired immediately it would necessitate the making out of a report at once instead of at the first of sary for MT. Smyer to make another re- port on January 1. As these reports en- tail much expense and clerical labor it was decided to allow the present post master to continue out the year.
 The name of R. B. Smyer who will be the successor of Colonel Aldrich has already been sent to the Senate by President Wilson, and he will, in all probability he confirmed sometime this week. After MT. Smyer's appointment has been confirmed by the Senate, it will be then be referred to the postof- fee department and bond will be made out This bond will be sent to Birming- ham, and MT. Smyer will see to it that it is properly filled out and certified and returned to Washington. When the bond is approved MT. Smyer's commission as postma ster of Birmingham will be dis patched at once to this city.
 The above formalities are expected to take several days at least, and in all probability MT. Smyer will not be ready to take over the reins at the postoffice building until January 1, at the earliest.

AMERICAN TRUST
 CHRISTMAS CHECKS
 MAILED TOMORROW
Four Thousand to Be Sent Out for Amounts TOtaling Over $100,000 New
 Club Starts Dec. 27

More than 4000 individual checks will be mailed out tomorrow by the American Trust and Savings bank to residents of Jefferson county, an amount totaling more than s100O00. The mailing of the checks marks the close of the third year of the American Trust Christmas Savings club. The money will be used to buy Christmas presents, for gifts, and much of it will find it's way again to the bank ir the form of savings accounts.
 The first year of the Christmas Savings club at the American Trust there were something like 1000 members, whose saw ings amounted to about $1S,000. The sec ond year the membership increased to more than 20O0, with savings of approM- mately s43000. The present year proved to be the high water mark in member ship and the amount saved and the of fcials of the bank expect next year to show membership of not less than 5000 with savings of at least $20o,0O0 The Nnrl5 Is willing to accept small amounts and invites boys and girls to become men- bers of the Christmas Savings club, as well as older persons.

In the uniform classes one may pay 9 cents, 50 cents or $1 weekly, the total amount, respectively, to be SIP 80 $25 and $50. Another way is what is termed the progressive class, in which the payment increases every week. One of these classes starts at 2 cents a week. increasing the amount by 2 cents each week. The 2-cent progressive club ma lures $25 50. Then there is the scent progressive. club, maturing at $63 75. These progressive clubs may be reversed start ing with the highest amount and reducing the deposit each week.
 Regular bank books are not needed in carrying the Christmas club accounts. The American Trust and Savings bank is using a patented card system, in which the record of payment is made by punch ing the cards. This not only gives the depositor a receipt, but also shows eX- actly how much has been paid in to date and does away with any possibility of error. The Christmas Savings club meth cd has proved the most popular mode of saving in Birmingham in recent years

PUT ENGINEER
 ON COMMISSION

TO the Editor of The Age-Herald..
 Several months ago your readers will probably remember having read my letter relative to the election of a commissioner in Judge Lanes place, stating the great saving a competent civil engineer would be over any one else, because more than 50 per cent of the expenditures were for sewers, paving and other matters requir- ing the exercise of the best of engineering ability to see the proper plans, etc., were made, the lowest good contracts made, and last but not least, properly carried out.
 Every citizen who desires the best streets, pavements, etc., should vote for the civil engineer, MT. J. D.. Truss, now before him for next Mondays voting and especially now that the city proposes to
 own and operate the waterworks and
 which means big engineering class ex- Ienditures.

UNIFORM WAREHOUSE LOANS

"The enactment of uniform warehouse laws and the encouragement of more and better distributed warehouse facilities would render more practical the advan- tageous plan of gradually marketing the crop of a given season, with beneficent price results to the producer, greater liquidation for the lender and less con- gestion to the transportation companies.
 Local conditions in our own district remain encouraging for continuation of a fair volume with satisfactory results, except in instances where liquidation must depend upon the ready movement of strictly investment holdings. The in- dustrial activities are still increasing and the mercantile concerns are having the best trade of the year. The revival of conditions during the past few months have been but little short of phenomenal, and while we shall not forget the lessons learned during the days of depression, We are quite content to have the stagnation period of year ago behind us.

land. Tapas were used not only as cloth ing. but as bedspreads. When piled six seven and 10 deep they formed an ex- tremely comfortable couch.
 An American girl, born in Hawaii who recently finished four years work at an American college, where she studied un- der one of the foremost teachers of de- sign, has created new handicraft in the use of tapa designs, which were se- cured from the Bishop Museum The work consists of cutting the designs in relief out of wood and with these tools she produced her pictures in harmonious coloring on various fabrics. White chif- fon has been found a very good medium Sc far, fabrics turned out are head and shoulder scarfs for women. Many at tempts have been made to preserve the tapa designs, but never before in wom- en's apparel.

 MEETING AT NEW ORLEANS

Tt was this realization of the need of
 a better understanding of domestic prob-
 lems and a desire to aid in the develop
 ment of home economies, for the enhance ment of a practical evolution in the af- fairs of the agricultural, commercial and
 industrial interests in 10 of the south ern states. that brought together during the past week in New Orleans a body of representative bankers. True, it was called a cotton conference, but it was not in session for the purpose of meeting an emergency, to finance a present crop or specifically to reduce the volume of a future one. It's aim was not to teach the producer what and how to cultivate, for that is a work which may be safely in trusted to the agricultural colleges, to the agricultural department of the gov ernment, and to other recognized and au- thorized agencies. These need, however, the practical support of those who traf- fife in the commodities produced, and permanent organization was formed by the coalition of banking associations in the south to crystalize a sentiment among bankers toward better conception of their functions in financing the opera tions of producing, warehousing and mar keting.
 The subject is too broad for a com pTehensive treatment in this review, and we shall be content with mentioning some 
 those interested in safer farming in the south Diversifcation, a somewhat hack neyed term just now, contains in it's true sense the greatest opportunity for sub stantial reform of our present oppor tunity for a substantial reform of our present conditions. It is the logical rem edy for the weevil-ridden territory, but even the continuous cotton producer should be encouraged to raise a supply of food and feed sufficient for his annual needs. If this were accomplished the mat ter of reducing the acreage would be au- tomatically solved, commensurate with the lessened degree of both land and labor The tenant farmer or small owner would be less dependent upon incurred obligations for supplies for family and feed bills for stock, and could revise his debts at the bank by converting them into commodity loans, with the storing of his staple. Not only will the raising of a greater number of crops be of finan- cial benefit to the single crop producer, but authorities concur in the belief that such a multiplicity of interests will in- crease the healthfulness of his mind and
