The Sport Alluring

Unusual interest is being shown by members of the Birmingham Athletic club and outsiders in the regular revolver and rifle matches which are held every week ir the new range of the club,' said Capt Frank Flynn. "A new member is added at practically every meeting, and if the present rate continues, we will have to increase quarters.
 "We have a star in our lot. T. K. Lee, who Is known among the club members as 'Tackhole,' is just getting back in trim after long absence from the shoot ing game. His eye is apparently back in form, however, for he has not missed shot in the last 1000
 'Hrhe ladies, too, are taking interest Tn the shooting. We have three ladies who are members at the present and more applications have been placed. It be- gins to appear as though we have popular sport to deal with. Shooting IS fine and I readily see why it is called the sport alluring

Confidence in Uncle sam

Commissioner James Weatherly has faith in the inventive genius of the Americans In fact, he believes that the United States, if engaged in the war; would find means to throttle the subma- rine.
 T have great confidence in the inven- tive genius of the Americans said Commissioner Weatherly, while infor- n.ally discussing the phases of the war While have no reason to believe 1t, l think that the government would find means of checking the U-boats. In fact, I am of the opinion that the secret is now in possession of the government
 "If the United States should get into the war, I believe that it would be a great factor in bringing it to an end. l understand that Edison has been at work for sometime on a secret that would be of use in event of war"

Tmdustries Here
Increase Steadily


 ID IRMINGHAM'S need of more O "small industries" has long been stereotyped phrase. Of course Birmingham needs more. Every am bilious city clamors for more than it has. But our own citizens do not seem to realize how varied Birming- hams manufacturing interests are.
 No city in the south has so many industries as are found in the Bir- mingham district, and no southern city has such large plants as several that are in operation here. The pay rolls of the industries in Jefferson country are far greater now than they ever were before, and they are in- creasing fast.
 Within the past five or six years the number of industries has gained steadily and even within the last twelve months there has been very appreciable increase.
 Disinterested observers, such as the members of the armor plate board, have marveled at Birmingham's in- dustrial bigness. They had heard and read much of the strides of this dis trict, but Birmingham was a revela- tion to them.
 Three years ago the Chamber of
 Commerce compiled an itemized list of the wares manufactured here and
 published the report in a neat little
 pamphlet. There were upwards of | 500 different articles in the exhibit. l Many more have been added since then. It would be worth while for the | Chamber of Commerce to make a fresh count. It would make splen- 1 did showing
