Strawberry Season Near End.
The strawberry season around Bridge
vile is fast coming to a close. Until
Monday morning heavy shipments were
made daily, although many Of the ber-
res We're Of poor quality and were ship
ped to nearby factories to be used for
juice. With clear weather prevailing.
the latter part of last week, the fruit
became Of much better quality, and the
prices jumped from S1.5O and S175 per
crate to 81 so and S4.25 per crate. the
latter price being for Candy. Many
growers on account Of low prices the
former part Of last week, DISCHARGED
their pickers and returned the INTO Phil,
adelphia, but after learning Of the fancy
prices of Monday. made extraordinary
efforts to secure local help to resume
picking. Notwithstanding the unfavor-
able conditions this year the crop will !
exceed that Of last year when more than
400 refrigerator cars were shipped. Up |
to Monday, according to Thomas C |
Curry, local freight agent, 1896 cars were /
shipped, and with the present high |
prices it is expected that at least 100 |
more cars will be shipped Owing to !
the rush of berries the capacity of the
ice plant was taxed and it was neces-
sary to utilize a night force in order to
have the cars. cooled for the fruit. tn

6234 Plans to Combat
 Submarines Submitted
 to Department Of War
Several of These Schemes Come From Aabamiansone Resi- dent of Birmingham Is Certain He Has Solved Problem and Another From Russell County So Confident
 He Is Willing to Equip Ship at His Own
 Expense and Go Out and Bag U-Boat
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, June 20.-(Special.j For the destruction of submarines and the elimination of Germany's most effective weapon the war department has been offered projects to the num- Der of 6234
 The inventors of new instruments of death are imbued with what ap- pears to be the highest patriotism Each is anxious to serve his country Each is confident that his own par ticular idea is that on which the gov ernment must depend
 These scientists. many of whom are amateurs. are representative of every state in the union. Several hail from Alabama. One is a resident of. Bir- mingham. Representative Bankhead has piloted him to and from the war department. Representative Bankhead believes that the Birmingham man has an idea which if elaborated and per fected by the government will score at least a partial success.
 Another Alabamian's scheme Is ad- vanced by B. deG. waddell and Frank deGraffenreid, well known attorneys ON oCnAC- W AlIc Vu6 inventors are reticent as to the details of their plans. sometimes one Is permitted to peep into secrets. The client of the Russell county attorneys seems anx- 1ous to prepare ship embodying his plan at his own expense, put to sea and bring back a German submarine to prove the efficacy of his idea.
 The work If ventors illustrates the excessive pa- trlotism with which Americans are possessed. It also is indicative of the ract that war. brutal war, is not with out its humor. An explanation of the thousands of ideas would probably cause as many smiles. None are fun nler' however. than that featured in story by Holland" financial ex- pert, whose letters appear daily in Ihe Age-Herald. The expose of this writer, incidentally, resulted in a com- plant being filed with Senator Un- derwood by a resident of Alabama, who alleged that Holland" in writing hls story gave information of incai- culable value to the enemy
 In a sad hour Holland" was led to believe that means for the elimina- tion of the submarine had not only been discovered, but had been practi- cally adopted. He declared that the means consisted of an instrument which. while floating in the sea, would, through magnetism, be attract ed by the steel arznor of the submer- sible; that it would cling to the ar- nor and that it would explode because or excessive water pressure, as soon as the submarine dived to 8 certain depth into the bosom of the sea "Hol- land" stated that these ''destroyers'' could be constructed at an expense of S5 each and that on account of the small cost this government could ac-

CONCERT CHORUS
 AT FAIRGROUNDS
Community Singers, Led by Robert Lawrence, Will

The second of a series Of entertain ments for the officers and enlisted men of the Alabama National Guard will be given at the camp at the fairgrounds to- morrow night at s:SO o'clock, when the boys will be treated to concert by big chorus of 150 voices under the leadership of Robert W. Lawrence, director of the community singing at Capitol park. The concert is being given under the auspices of the Philathea class of the Southside Baptist eeurch. Mrs. J. E. Cain Is chairmAR Or the committee that is arranging the af- fair. Cars have been donated by the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company to carry the singers to the grounds, which will leave the corner of Third avenue and Nineteenth street lat o'clock sharp.
 The affair is open to the public, and everyone, especially relatives of the soldiers, Is invited to be present Sol diers of every branch of the service will be the guests of honor. Many of the visitors will bring boxes of good things for the soldiers and almost 300 cakes have already been promised. The regiment will probably go back to Montgomery soon, and the remainder of its stay in Birmingham will be made as pleasant as possible.

 A grandson of Cotton Planter Griffin is Virgil Griffin, long time secretary of the Alabama railroad commission; a great grandson is Virgil Griffin. Jr, now in France, serving Alabama in war
 Miss Frances Griffin received a liberal education. She owned and lived in and on a choice library. She travelled in Europe; she travelled extensively in the United States and associated with emil nent men and women. Her intelligence, wit, grace of manner, amiability, cosmo- politan spirit, handsome person recom- mended her to the highest circles of society.
 A few years ago Miss Griffin conceived the enterprise of teaching the English language to the many children of Greek immigrants who came to Montgomery. She was engaged in that interesting work when she changed her residence to Chi cago, where she lectured teaching audi ences there about the "Old South" Prior, however, to that time, she took the stump in Jefferson county in defense of the prohibition movement
 She was a ready writer and fluent orator in the cause of woman's suffrag and prohibition. J. w. DUBOSE.

quire thousands Of them and by cast ing them indiscriminately in the sub marine zone put to an end the most effective German weapon.
 While the story was obviously er- roneous, one Alabamian, highly patri- otic, deceived by the seriousness of the writer's manner, concluded that Holland" had been guilty of expos ing a valuable secret. In his letter of complaint to Senator Underwood he expressed his opinion to the effect that Holland" should be imprisoned and ordered to trial on a charge of crim- inal carelessness if not actual trea- son.
 At any rate, the government has not found a certain antidote against the submarine germ. With the assist ance of patriotic genuis it is working, however, and hopes in the long run to evolve a scheme, practical and eff fective. In the meantime those with ideas. however fantastic may express them to Washington with assurance that they will be given careful consid- eration.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The life that passed into the unknown last Sunday when the sun was at it's zenith, a cloudless sky, was ripe for the harvest. Miss Frances Griffin was one of the interesting lives of her sex, born, reared. moved and had being in Ala bama.
 Tn winter season light and warmth; In summer time, coolness and shade"
 She was a favorite of nature. Her heart true; her mind wide, deep, open to the splendor of nature and the sphere of mankind; her person beautiful, her walk the incarnation of energy and virtue.
 The parents came from Georgia, allured by flush times" to that historic locality of Alabama, the fork of the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers. Her father was 8 cotton plnter. He owned some of the land now making a part of the farm at tached to the Walls" state prison. She was born in house that was removed by the state to make room for the pres ent residence of the warden of that prison.
 She was born there in 1s45 At that time Wetumpka was the principal town of interior Alabama The population was about 5000. Lawyers, doctors. cotton planters, merchants lived there We tumpka was head of navigtion from Mo bile. Cotton destined for Mobile was put in warehouses there from country a hundred miles away.
