Miners to Have Warm Meals.

a large coal mining company has
arranged to provide warm, substantial
meals to the men working from 200
to 400 feet underground. An electric
range has been installed in one of the
lowest chambers Of the mine. In this
are prepared hot lunches which are
served in an underground restaurant
at prices barely covering the cost OF
the food. 1t has been found that this
not only adds to the comfort of the
men who had hitherto been compelled
to eat cold food, but IT also adds to
their productive capacity. A marked
increase in the amount OF coal taken
out was noted the first month after the
electric range was installed.

 radius of 10 miles of Birmingham that will outrival the proposed site selected in Montgomery.

 doing all it can in the matter. Members of the exchange announced yesterday that they would try to find a suitable location for the school and requested that all property owners who have sites within 10 miles of the city of 100 or more acres

NO VACATION FOR
 MASTER DAN CUPID
Many Marriage Licenses Issued Dur ing Past Month at the County Courthouse

Dan Cupid was amongst those who could not afford a vacation during the month of August, as Probate Clerk Wool sey Morrow reported that 147 legal licenses to tile the knot of martrimony and its heritages were issued during the past month. This number of marriage licenses is said by the officials in the probate office to be fairly representative of the activities of His Cherubc Majesty, Cupid.
 In contrast to the report of Woolsey Morrow, which is a barometer by which one may make accurate estimates on the amount of business furniture dealers who deal on installment plan transact, the clerk of the chancery court admitted that 25 divorces had been granted in August. Tt was also stated that 30 petitions for divorces had been filed This indicates according to officials at the courthouse that the attorneys are prosperlng.
 "The courthouse" said Woolsey Mo-- row, Ifs the soothing balm for all the troubles of humanity hereabouts If they want to get married license is secured on the first floor. If the marriage doesn't take you can get divorce on the second floor. If unfortunately you die, youl relatives come back to the first floor to probate your will. It's case of rotation and more or less pleasure all around.'

THE BIRMINGHAM AeEHERA1D SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 1916
PETITION FILED WITH THE
 SERVICE COMMISSION TO
 ABSORB TIDEWATER LINES
Approval of State Commission Is Sought by Bondholdes Who Threw the Company Into Bankruptcy Petition Set for Hearing by President Sam P. Kennedy on October 2.
 Proceedings Are Under Recent Act of Legislature

The approval of the Alabama public service commission for the proposed ab- sorption of the Birmingham, Ensley and Bessemer railway (Tidewater). was asked in a petition filed yesterday afternoon with the commission. The petition is signed by w. R. C. Cooke as president of the Birmingham, Ensley and Bessc- mer railway (Tidewater), by J. D. Kirk patrick, as agent for the bondhclGers who bought in the line when it went into bankruptcy, and by J. s. Pevear as presi- dent of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 The petition was set for hearing by Sam P. Kennedy, president of the public service commission, on October ?.
 The question Of the absorption of the Tidewater lines by the Birmingha n Railway, Light and Power company has been under consideration for the past six months. The permission of the city com mission for the contamination of this transaction was asked last March, but due to the opposition of Commissioner Barber and some of the citizens of the city, no final action was ever taken.
 Under an act of the legislature passed in 1915, any transactaion of this nature will have. to be passed on by the public service commission before it can be con summated. As the lines to be absorbed lie partly without the limits of the city of Birmingham, the proposed deal be- comes a matter for the decision ol the public service commission. It had been the purpose of the Tidewater interests to get the approval of the city commission as a matter of policy before taking the question to the state commission, which has Jurisdiction, but this plan was finally abandoned
 The Tidewater has been in the hands of receiver for the past two years or more. The property was purchased at forced sale by J. D. Kirkpatrick, as the representative of the bondholders, and MT Kirkpatrick is one of the signers of
