Michael Cody and Bruce Kennedy of
Montgomery that that city's location was
the best argument for establishing the
farm loan bank there, Mr.. Wells insisted
that Birmingham is in touch in every
way with the farmer element. He de-
clared no one could question Birming-
hams railroad and mail facilities, and
further that the Magic City was entirely
suitable for the bank.
Mr.. Wells made it plain to the local
chamber that Birmingham was not seek
ing obile's Endorsement for the farm
loan bank, but that it would, of course,
accept it if the Endorsement was volun-
tarily offered. Sterling A. Wood de-
clared Mobile would hurt hdrself by in

too, said Birmingham was not seeking

BIRMINGHAM IN FIGHT

While no statement was given out bv
Chairman Wells before leaving Mobile
last night, it is known here that Biz
mingham will be in the fight for the
farm loan bank to the finish despite
the fact that the Mobile Chamber of
Commerce has decided that this city is
not the proper place for the location.
Chairman Wells stated before going
to Mobile that he did not think any
preference should be expressed as be-
tween the two cities of the state max
ing the fight for the bank and it is known
that he and the other members of his
committee were reluctant to go to Mo-
bile, not caring to place themselves in
the attitude of seeking the Endorsement
of that city. However, upon the ur
gent insistence of the Mobile chamber
1t was finally decided to attend the meet
ing and talk over the matters.
The story of just how the coup was
put over in Mobile last night is told in
the following dispatch from the Gulf
City to The Age-Herald
Mobile, September 1S.-(Special. 1.-THE
Mobile Chamber of Commerce tonight in
dorsed Montgomery for location of the
farm loan bank. The vote was "a to 2.
The decision came after vote was taken
whether or not the local chamber should
remain neutral in the proposition. That
vote stood % to five against neutrality.

Hope for Poor Writers.

Motion pictures are being employed
for the purpose of making a scientific
study of the various movements i'm
writing with a view to ascertaining
how poor writer's can best be taught
to improve. Motion pictures have
been taken of children of two groups !:
Good writer's and poor writer's. These
pictures have been thrown on the
screen for the purpose of Analysing the
kinds of movements which charactey-
ize good as distinguished from poor
writer's. The investigators are not yet
ready to make final deductions as to
what the films reveal, but they are of
the opinion that differences in rhythm
of action and in the coordination of
certain strokes are among the char
arcteristics which will form a basis for
judging good and bad movements. The
advantage of the films is that they
can be stopped at any point for de
tailed examination and comparison.
of course, they can be repeated any
number of times.

He Had Them.

There were three brothers at the
place where we spent our vacation this
year. They were playing with a stout
string one day, the two older boys
pulling against the youngest boy. They
were pulling around a tree stump and
didn't see little Bill when he put the
string in his mouth and held it with
his teeth, and naturally but fatally
they kept on pulling. In a moment
they heard a terrible yell and RAN
to find Bill with blood-stained hand
and mouth and the news they'd pulled
his teeth out.
They all went solemnly to their
mother, who pulled little Bill into her
arms and wept over him. ooh, Bill,
you've lost your teeth and you'll have
to wait until. you're a man to have
others"
'No, I won't, mamma" Bill said, ana
stopped crying long enough to unclagR
his little blood-spattered fist. 81 didn1

To Help Rapid Transit.

The blasting off of a 15-foot layer
of rock from the top of Coenties reef
in East river, New York. just east of
the lower end of Manhattan, and, at
the same time, the boring of two tun-
nels under this reef, constitute a dual
engineering undertaking now in prog
ress that is calling for unusual precau-
tons and skillful procedure, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. The tunnel
will serve as a new rapid-transit link
between Manhattan and Brooklyn The
cost of cutting down the reef is being
borne by the federal government and
New York city. At mean low tide the
reef has been % feet below the sur
face, a distance that is not regarded
as safe for some heavily laden boats.
The new depth of 40 feet will be more
sufficient, it is believed. The tunnel

until after the channel was deepened,

HORSES THAT GO FISHING
Strange Breed of HaIf-WiId Horses in
North Carolina Catch Fish
at Low Tide.

Along Albemarle sound, on the North
Carolina coast there is mile after mile
Of low, sandy shore, where nothing
grows except coarse grass, a few
saltwater weeds and wild parsley, says
an exchange. On these banks lives a
strange breed of half-wild horses,
known as banker ponies" These crea-
lures are generally about twice the
size of Shetland ponies.
Every year the herd owners drive
the bankers" into pens, brand the
fOals with the proper mark, and catch
some of the older animals to sell to
thN dealers. North Carolinians say
that the beasts must be starved into
eating grain, hay or grass, for they
have always lived on the rank marsh
grass of the marshes and on fish.
They catch the fish themselves at
low tide; with their hoofs they dig
deep holes in the sand below high wa
ter mark; when the tide falls they
greedily devour the fish that are strand
ed in these noles. Often they fight
briskly over an especially tempting
morsel.
In captivity these strange horses are
intelligent, but seldom are even in TEN
per. Once tanned, they make excellent
draft animals, for they have strength
that is disproportionate to their size.
FOals that are bred from bankers" in
captivity make valuable animals
strong, healthy, intelligent and far less
vicious than their parents.
