MIGHT USE COKE TAR
To FIX UP WEST THIRD

r. J. Long. manager OF fhe Hom'
Gas company. has offered the cit,
enough coke tar. by-product In thu
manufacture of gas. TO make an ex
pertinent in road building IL tho
city desires 10 try II out. In grea'
many places over the country THU
tar is used in giving firmness and
shape TO dirt roads and II might be
used successfully on West Third
street. where the sandy soil would
be favorable for the experiment
Mr.. Long made the offer TO the
city at the suggestion Of some OF
the good roads boosters of the city.
"Tar is used In making roads
around Davenport, Ia.," says Mr..
Long, "and although / am not en-
tirely familiar with the laying OF
the road or the success Of this sort
of an experiment, I understand It
has been found helpful. The road
would have to be narrowed before
the tar is poured on, and the tar
would then have to be worked into
the road so as to form a crust three
or focr inches thick, and this crust
rolled until It attains a firm crown.
The tar is impervious to water and
natural heat"
An ordinary tank sprinkler could
be used to apply the tar.
]. ]. Donelan, secretary and gen.
eral manager of the gas company
at Concordia, says that at Concor-
dia the plant there accumulates
about 1000 gallons of tar a month,
figuring on a production of MIL
lion feet of gas a month. This is
larger production than that of the
plant in Abilene.
Mr.. Donelan says that the Con-
cordia plant is running its tar into
a large storage tank and accumu-
lating it with the idea of preparing
a piece of road to test the Efficiency
of this sort of material in road
building. He believes that the plan
would work better on upper roads
rather than in the bottoms.

SAND SPRINGS PUPILS
HAVE FINE MIXED CHORUS

The Sand Springs school has a
mixed vocal chorus of which 1t has
a right to be proud. The special
numbers given by the chorus at the
county spelling and declamatory
contests in Abilene Saturday showed
that the Sand Springs community
has a good looking band of singers
who have talent and training. The
chorus is composed of Misses Lenna
Clemmence, Evelyn Sherman, Nellie
Clarke, Mark Parks, Clark brothers,
Ralph Sherman, Carl Sherman. Miss
Esther Saums is the pianist. The
Sand Springs school, which has one
of the most modern buildings in the
county, has a good orchestra in adj
dition to its chorus.

WHAT THE METHoDIsTs DID

The enthusiastic Topeka report
ers sent out stories that the Meth
odfst conference put ban on auto
mobile riding on Sunday. This is
really what resolution was adopted
1--WE cannot but recognize the
fact-for fact it is-that the Sun
day baseball game, the Sunday thea
ter, and automobile parties are add
ing to the already large number OF
Sabbath breakers, and we pledge
ourselves to do all in our power
personally, by word and by example
to discourage attendance upon these
forms of amusement on Sunday"
The Emporia Gazette thus com
ments sensibly: "This is difference
from denouncing automobile riding
on Sunday. The automobile party
has exactly the same status as any
other Sunday party. Many people
give parties Sunday evening. It's
largely a matter of their consciences'
And the automobile party must
stand on the same basis. But there
can be no objection whatever to a
family loading itself in the family
automobile and going out OF town
Sunday afternoon to widen the hor-
lion; to enjoy the fresh air; to visit
country neighbors; to get the sum
light in their hearts. Sunday is not
q day for long faces. Sunday should
be a happy day, day when one
gets in touch and unison-by what
ever means he knows-with the
Great Force that guides the uni
verse and directs the slow progress
of humanity on its upward journey.
The church brings to the average
mind the thought of this great re-
lation between man and God. But
other things bring it also, and above
all. it cannot be brought by pulling
a long face and notifying the
flesh. The Methodists are right In
going after the automobile party
II that party is purely social func-
ton. But the automobile as
means of seeing a big and bright
and beautiful world Sunday after
noon is as good as the old horse
and buggy, and because the auto
mobile brings distant friends and
distant neighbors together, 1t Is
better than the horse and buggy"

WILL TEST sOAlE TAX
TITLES IN DISTRICT COURT

Some OF the tar titles bought up
several months ago in wholesale
quantities will be tested In district
court at the May term, the filing Of
several suits recently indicates. An
Ottawa firm bought up large
number of tax titles and then hunt
ed up the persons who supposed
themselves to be the owners OF a
property. and offered the tax title
for sale; either that, or a demand
would be made for the property. In
most OF the cases the man who was
occupying property he believed to
be his, bought the tax title rather
than plunge into litigation. The
wholesale purchase of these titles
was not confined to this county
alone.
But here and there a property
owner refused to put up for the
tax title. Perhaps he had been pay
ing taxes on his land for fifteen or
twenty years. maybe more, and did
mt know that the taxes ever had
lapsed. So some o. these property
owners made a legal tender to the
holder of the tax title of the amount
of the taxes. The holders of the tax
title refused to accept the tender,
whereupon three or four suits have
been filed to quiet title and the
matter will be tested in the courts.
In suits filed here Mrs. Della
Truitt OF Ottawa and a member OF
the law firm of Whitaker & Whit
taker are the holders of the titles.
The suits will be watched with in
terest.
In one instance where a tax title
was bought for $3.50, the holder of
the title wanted $500 for his rights.

The men of course put in their time
with several great games of horse
shoes. While the ladies busted them
selves with their fancywork. The
day was a great event which. will
long be remembered by those who
we're there. The guests all departed

loyally entertained by the east side
and hoping that they may have the
pleasure of meeting with them again
in the future. 1t is certainly a pleas

BIC DELEGATION ID .GO ID MONTGOMERY
 FOR INAUGURATION
Special Train of Ten Cars Leaves Over the l.. & N. Monday-Special Rates
 For the Occasion

A committee of over 100 Birmingham citizens was appointed yesterday to make arrangements to attend the inauguration nor of Alabama next Monday in Mont gomery. All details have been attended to and the committee will not hold an- other meeting. All are asked to be aboard special train which will be operated over the Louisville and Nashville Monday morning, leaving here promptly at s O clock.
 R. V. Evans who managed the cam- paigns of MT. Henderson in this county, said yesterday he believed that quite a large delegation in addition would attend the inauguration from Birmingham. He announced that Memoli's band had been engaged and that in the inauguration parade 1t was hoped that large number of Jefferson county citizens would appear.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad has made a special rate of s3.2O for the round trip and further concession of a fare of $2.25 for the round trip provided party of 20 secure transportation on enc ticket calling for that number of pas- sengers.
 MT. Evans said yesterday that citizens had been requested to attend from War other places in this county, and while there was no formality about the trip, there had been appointed a committee to interest others and get out very large crowd.
 q believe Jefferson county will be prop erly represented in the inaugural parade" said Mir. Evans yesterday in discussing the proposed trip. "Mr Henderson was received during his campaign with deep interest here and he is very much inter- ested in this county. The inauguration of MT. Henderson is of special moment in this state and l hope that it will be made the occasion for a great crowd go- ing to Montgomery. We have arranged with the Louisville and Nashville for a train of 10 cars to go to Montgomery This train will leave the Louisville and Nashville station Monday morning at s o'clock sharp. In order to secure good crowd and make a showing consistent with the importance of Jefferson county we have secured band and we hope to have at least 300 persons in the parade.
 ''The appointment of this committee of 100 is an unofficial statement and should not be taken to mean that a person must be on the committee to attend. Everyone is invited and hope that everyone possi- ble will be at the Louisville and Nash vile station Monday morning and make this journey with us On account of the fact that all details for the trip have been arranged, the committee of which I speak will not hold any meetings, but will be interested solely in getting friends to go along to the inauguration

NOTHING IS HEARD
 FROM THE BAKERS
Await Indications of Con. sumers' Wishes-ROutine
 Business Acted On

Nothing of importance came up at the city commission meeting yesterday.
 The bakers of the city did not ap- pear with petition for a reduction in the size of loaf of bread. It Is taking further action to see, if possi- ble. what are the wishes of the bread consuming public on the question as to whether it prefers a reduction in tho size of the loaf or an increase in the price.
 Indications are, however. the com mission will not permit reduction in the size of the loaf, in which case the bakers have already stated they will be compelled to raise the price in order to meet the present high prices they have to pay for their flour.
 Routin business before the commits sion was as follows:
 Declined proposition of Alabama Tire Repair company to place electric signs on Twenty-first street bridge.
 Adopted ordinance to provide for the ouarantine of diptheria carriers.
 Confirmed assessments under im- provemcnt ordinance No. 792-C, provid- Ing for certain Improvements on Thir- ty-fifth street from Avenue c to Ave nue E, amounting to S2459.03.
