ATTORNEY
TO ADJUST
ALLCLAIMS
Commission Adopts That
Plan of Dealing with the
EMPLOYMENT Question.

Hereafter disputes between employ
ment agents and workmen will be left
entirely in the hands of the city attor-
ney.
This decision was arrived at by the
commission after Adolph Loofer ap-
peared before the commission and ask
ed that he be refunded his railroad
fare and expense money. incurred
when he was sent to Page to work for
a farmer. and arrived there to find
there was no job for him.
1t was suggested that the commits
sion turn the matter over to the city
attorney. but City Atty. W. H. Shure
said that he had no power in the mat
ter as the commission had nullif1ed his
action on one or two occasions when
matters he had arranged for settle
ment had been brought to the COM
mission. and they had taken action on
it.
'"This commission is stacking up
future trouble for itself if it dips into
these matters" said Mayor H. F.
Emery. When this commission was
organized these matters were put into
the hands of the city attorney. but
this commission has seen fit to
counterfeit his findings. think that
these things should be left for the city
attorney to adjust"
A motion was made and passed that
the Loofer case. and all future cases,
be left entirely to the city attorney to
enforce in accordance with the ordin-
ance.
The ordinance provides that in case
an employment agent takes a laboring
mans money and sends him to a place
where there is no employment for him,
the agent must not only refund
the money but also stand the expenses
of the laborer. The object of the
ordinance is to prevent employment
agents preying on laboring men who
are seeking work.
In the Loofer case the agent was
caused to refund the railroad fare.

LOCATING LOST PIPES.

Locating lost or hidden water
pipes is the function of a newly pat
ented device which promises to be a
friend to the plumber and to the
municipality which has to repair its
water pipes. The new machine is
expected to prove useful by cutting
the amount of digging necessary to
locating a leaky pipe down to min
imum-a very useful quality where
paving has to be torn up. Such a
device is also badly needed where a
leak must be found quickly to pre-
vent flooding. The detective is an
electric one, consisting of two con-
Meeting wires and microphone
worn by the man operating it. The
connections are fastened to the near
est terminals of the pipe, and by
listening in the microphone the OPP
orator can tell when he is directly
over the hidden section.

POETS AND SINGERS NEEDED
Famous Writer Declares Races Of Ar
lists Have Also Been the Greatest
in Material Activities.

Hamilton Wright Mabie, perhaps
the leading man of letters in Amer
lea in recent years, who died recent
ly, used to say, "There ought to be
at least one poet to every hundred
captains of industry, one singer to
every hundred thousand workmen.
at is a great mistake to imagine
that the races which produce the
poets and artists are the races that
dream and do not act. On the con-
trary, the executive races have also
been the artistic races. The Greek
was not only the first artist among
ancient people, but he was also the
successful rival of the Phenician
who was the greatest trader OF his
time.
GAIL material activities and accu'
mutations of every sort are subject;
for the poet, and no materials OIL
accumulations fulfill their highest
ends until they have been trans
formed into poetry"

OXYGEN DRAWN BY ALUMINIUM
One Never Sees the Metal in Air Ex-
cept Through Veil OF Superficial
Oxide, II Is Said.

Aluminium is in many ways a won
derful substance, albeit in the natu-
raj world most Of it is oxidized and
turned to clay. It's avidity for oxy-
gen is one of its most salient charac-
teristics. IL is said that one never
sees the metal, directly, in air, but
always and only through a veil Of
superficial oxide which forms on its
free surface with marvellous rapidity.
1t is stated that if a fresh surface
of aluminium be prepared by scrap
ing with a knife the oxygen of the
air runs in as fast as the scale is
peeled off and keeps close behind
the knifeblade.
If it were not for this superficial
scale of oxide, which acts as a bar
rier to further action, the metal
would burn up, or dehagrate, in air.
The large amount of heat developed
by thermit, mixture of powdered
aluminium with oxygen-giving sub
stances, bears witness to the activity
of the oxidizing process when COM
pleted.

QUEEN HAD STORMY CAREER
LiIiuokaIsni, Last Native Ruler Of Hs-
wall, Was Dethroned Two Years
After Succeeding to Power.

Lydia Kamekeha, Queen Liliuo-
kalani, the last native ruler Of Ha-
wall, was proclaimed queen in Janu-
airy, 1891, and two years later, on
January 16, 1898, she was de-
throned. She was born in 1888, and
succeeded to the throne on the death
Of her brother, the wild and dissipat-
ed King Kalakaua. 1t soon became
apparent that the feminine monarch
of the pearl of the Pacific" was re-
dictionary in her tendencies. AL
though she had taken as her spouse
an American, John 0. Dominis,
native of Boston, she was not
friendly toward Americans, and not
at all in sympathy with the progress
sive reform party, which had been
successful in the revolution of 1887
The queens husband died a few
months after she gained the throne
and soon alter that tine queen De
came more than ever reactionary. II
soon was apparent that she proposed
to abolish the liberal constitution
of 1887 and to restore the old des
potic regime of absolute monarchy
A committee of safety was formed
and the day after she had proclaimed
a new constitution in the direction Of
absolute power she was dethroneC
and republic formed. In January
1895, a royalist rebellion fomenteC
by the ex-queen was foiled, and sh'
was sentenced to modified imprison
ment for five years, but, upon pen
ming a remuneration of the throne
she was released.

MEAT AND FLOUR BILL IS OVER $7, 500,000 A YEAR
Abstain One Day Each Week From Use of These Commod ties Would Save Over Million Annualy-M. P. Messer
 Submits FigureV Showing Possibilities

The adoption of the plan pro- posed by the Birmingham Real Estate exchange to abstain from eating meat and wheat bread one day each week would result in an annual saving of more than $I,- 100000 for Birmingham and this district. These estimates are based upon figures compiled by leading grain, flour and meat dealers.
 "Birmingham and this district consume annually S4,50O,0O0 of meats of all kinds,r said NJ. F. Messer last night. MT. Messer spent sometime getting up these figures from men in position to fur Bish them and he considers them accurate. "The annual consump- {, ton of flour totals for the district 100000 barrels, which nt the pres- ent price of approximately $15 per barrel, amounts to more than S3,- O00,0O0 each year. Thus the total expenditures for meats and flour reaches the huge sum of $7,5OO,0O0 annually.
 Were the people of this district to lbstain from the use of these two trticles one day each week during the ood shortage the high prices and the threatened serious shortage in the ft- ure. the amount saved during one rear would amount to more than s1,- 00,000.
 with the present prices the meat pill of the Birmingham district is ar S125O0 each day. This is he amount that would be saved by
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-27

abstatning from its use one day each week The flour bill of the district ss considerably more than sS000 per day. which. with the saving for meat, would total nearly s21,200 each week that the plan was in operation.
 Since there is every possibility that flour may yet reach the figure of $25 per barrel unless consumption de- creases and meat may go much higher than now. these savings in actual practice would doubtless be much more. It Is further contended that the lessening of consumption of meat by one-seventh would have Fl decided ten dency to keep down increases in prices, thus enabling people to purchase these commodities cheaper for the other six days of the week.
 "I am greatly impressed with this plan and 1 think that it will be a great thing for the country. As a mat ter of fact. the American people eat too much, anyway. and it might bet ter their physical condition to try this scheme. If all would cooperate, il would be a great boon for the very poor who will be able to buy meal cheaper if others do not consume an unnecessary amount The Real Els tate exchange. the Housewives league and other civic organizations working together can secure the cooperation of the people in this matter and re. suit in a great saving without doing anyone any harm. l consider that this will be patriotic duty it will en- able us to send just that much more foodstuffs to our allies, some of whom are in actual want
