Carried by Steel Golfers.

Steel colllers ply between Boston
and Hampton Roads, distance of 600
miles. Each one of these ships Is capa-
BILE of making "A round trip every week
and transporting 100000 tons of coal
a year. A vessel of the same tonnage,
however, carrying n cargo of coal from
Cardiff to port 600 miles away
would take n week ut Cardiff to load
its cargo and another week ut its des-
tlnation to discharge 1t. Thus New
York laden ships can make three trips
to one for Cardiff laden vessel.
Such things as these are what places
New York as the greatest port in the
world and makes American coal OPP
orators feel that there Is great OPP
portunlty for exporting American coal.
Five different companies within re-
cent months have established fleets of
specially designed carriers on the
theory that with our tremendous coal
supply and superior port facilities It
will only be question Of time before
America is shipping her coal to all
parts Of the globe.

die Work.
SAVING IN TINE IS SHOWN
High Speed Coal bumpers and Light
Gro Simplify Work-10.o00 Tons
Can Be Loaded In Six
teen Hours.

New York.-War has speeded up
coaling of ships in the port Of New
York until no other port In the world
ut the present time Is as well equip
ped to handle this important task.
So fast has become the coaling Of
big vessels that enormous liners like
the Imperator can have their bunkers
filled to their capacity Of 10000 tons
in 10 hours.
The reason for the increased speed
is largely high-speed coal bumpers
and fuel lighters. Each one of the
latter Is able to give ship 1000 tons
Of coal in eight hours, an achieve
ment due mainly to special coal ele-
waiting machinery.
But ships requiring 1000 tons or
less are in the big majority, whether
transatlantic or coastwise trade Is
considered. And 1t is not essential
that for such ships there should be a
loading device separate from the coal
barges to enable continuous stream
Of barges to ply to and from coal
dumping stations.

In a Single Day.


For the average vessel total Of
300 tons is usually sufficient, and this
means that ship of this sort may
discharge a cargo and take on a new
one all in the course of single day.
With the adoption Of the modern
lighter 1t Is an easy matter to load
coal while the cargo is being unload
ed and a new one taken on. One mod
ern high-speed lighter can coal three
such ships in an elght-hour day.
This development of modern light
ers is equalled by better facilities for
transferring coal from cars to barges.
Huge steel dumping machines now
take up 50ton car bodily, elevate 1t
and empty its contents into the barge
by fitting the entire car on the side-a
great Improvement over the process
of unlocking trapdoor In the bottom
Of the car and letting the coal slide
through. These machines have u
capacity Of 1900 tons each a day.
Saving Of time to the shipowner
here is shown by comparison with
Cardiff, the English port where the
largest tonnage Of English coal Is
loaded for export. In loading YES
sci, for example, the English shipper
uses railroad car Of ten or twelve
tons, while the American uses one of
fifty to ninety tons capacity, so that
the Cardiff docks must discharge from
five to ten carloads to every one dis
charged in New York In order to main
tain the same speed.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

What has become of the old fash toned man who used to carry a buck eye in his pocket to ward off rheuma- tism?
 The only luck many a seventh son has is the pleasure of wearing the east off clothing of his six older brothers.
 Father is always giving the children Hail Columbia for hanging their clothes on the floor. But that is where mother finds fathers clothes most of the time.
 There are times when man needs a new hat and doesn't want one. But 1t is so different with his wife
 Wasn't it remarl- able how city folks began to realize how much farmers needed better roads when automobiles came into general use?
 It must be embarrassing to have been divorced about nine times and to have to sit down and frisll your memory in order to make no mistake as to which lone of the men you have married is now your husband. It is some consolation to woman to know that her neighbor has to pay twice as much for a hat because she is so homely that it takes an expen- sive hat to keep her from looking like a scarecrow.
 
 Personally we hate to associate with | man who uses perfume. But he has it all over the lads who are content to smell like Angora bouquet. Any woman would rather govern a man than have the faculty of self-con- 1 trol.
 l He may not express it, but man al ways enVies q man who can afford to ; have his shirts made to order The fact that man carries off the f honors on his colle2e debating team ! won't help him blame bit when he l gets married and friend wife takes the i affirmative or the negative ] It often happens that a man will fol l low a profession all his life and never 1 catch up ito it.
 When he takes her out to dinner be 1 fore they are married he tells her thai 1 she doesn't eat any more than a bird i But after he marries her he discovers
 that an ostrich is also a bird.

"BiIIy sunday of the Red Cross'


 During MT. Davson's brief visit to Birmingham" said Robert Jemison, Jr' l had several pleasant little conversa- tional diffs with the distinguished tinancier and chairman of the war coun- cil of the Red Cross. Among the most amusing was the little incident of my introduction of MT. Davison at the lunch con, when I referred to him as the major general of the Red Cross.
 MT. Davison immediately challenged my remark and replied in a very clever manner that he was not the major gem eral and never could be, because he would have to sign his own appointment, and that eliminated him from ever re- ceiving the high. honor At the big mass meeting at the Jefferson on Wednesday evening, I again referred to our famous guest as the major general of the Red Cross. After he had made his impressive speech, thinking that he had finished talking for the evening and couldn't get back at me, he immediately arose and challenged my statement again. So decided that if he wouldn't accept the title of major general, I would confer upon him another which he couldn't deny. and so I named him the Billy Sunday of the Red Cross"

Tri-cities very Active

T do not want you Birmingham people to think you are the only people Who have any pep said Dr. II. L. Wiling ham, one of the states leading educators. the president of the State Normal at Jacksonville, who was in the city yes- terday on his way to attend a confer ence of the State Normal presidents to be held at Montgomery.
 If you want to get walked up bit just take a little pilgrimage to the Tri-Cities of north Alabama. Florence. my home town; Sheffield and Tuscumbia are be- ing electrified by what Uncle sam IS doing and expects to do in the way of big developments. The Tri-Cities are awake to their possibilities and straining every nerve to get together and get ready to meet any demands the government may put upon them. Yes, the war has cut down the male attendance of the State Normal. If the few young men now matriculated take it into their heads to enlist I will be virtually the president of a female institution"

CHINESE FARMING

Carl Crow, in World Outlook.
 Nothing goes to waste on the Chinese farr,-not even the weeds. According to the farmers ideas there ars good weeds with woody stems which Will are put into compost heaps and re turn fertilization to the soil The coarse weeks with woody stems which VIII not easily rot are cut down and allowed ,o dry until the son of the family has time to rake them up for use as Win ter fuel
 Nowhere as in China do the dead TOD the living. Millions of graves are scat tered over the fields, their location di' rected by the complicated rules of fsng shui In some sections of the country more thon one-sixth of the tiliable area is covered with graves of esti- mable but now useless ancestors and sometimes when a young man falls heir to d farm he finds that it is farm full of graves and his biggest crop IS crop of duty to dead and haIf-forgot- 1 tvp ancestors.
 1 Chinese women didn't wait for the 1 outbreak of war to put on trousers and volunteer for work in the fields. They
 have been wearing trousers for many | centuries and for many more they have been helping the beans and potatoes
 to do their bit for their country. The Chinese sages have had a great deal
 to say about the inferiority of women
 but when it comes to digging in the
 fields the Chinese woman is equal 's
 any man.

Demand for Larger
 Food Crops in 1918.

.WNTHEAT was the only important
 w food crop that was short this year. All the other crops, both food and feedstuffs, showed increases as compared with 1916, and some of them, notably corn, reached new high records.
 When this country's wheat produc- tion in 1915 passed for the first time the billion bushel mark there was no expectation, perhaps, on the part of crop statisticians that it would do better than that for several years to Icome. But America and the allies to- gether will need much more than billion bushels m 191S The govern ment has been urging an increased area in wheat-an area that would, with favorable conditions, yield 1, 200, ,000,0 bushels-but according to present calculations the demand will be for 100000, ,0O0 bushels.
 Those are big figures, but if the farmers realize fully the importance of great increase they can be counted upon to make extraordinary efforts.
 Here in Alabama Mrs. G. H. Mathis, who is recognized far and wide as a practical and successful farmer, and the active leader in the crop diversi- fication movement, is making an ap- peal for vastly larger food production. She sets the figures high, but not too high. She is greatly gratified, of course, at the splendid crop records of 1917. The value of Alabama's farm products is approximately S500,000,- 900, but Mrs. Mathis, who represents the United States department of az riculture, tells us that the government asks for doubling of our food and feedstuff crops. And it can be done. Instead of 100000 bushels of wheat this state should raise 5,000,0O0 bushels. Instead of S5,O00,O00 or 90,000,000 bushels of corn the next years harvest can be made to yield, weather conditions permitting, 140,- I0O0,0o0 to l50,000,O 900 bushels.
 Many things will be needed in win ring the war, but an ample food sup ply is absolutely essential. Every
 farmer in the south must strive with
 all his might to add abundantly to the already fine records.

Splendid Work Done
 Bv Odd Fellows Home

HNHE Alabama Odd Fellows home
 j for orphan children, located at Cullman, has been in existence ten wears. During that time it has per formed a useful service to society and engaged in a form of philan- thropy which must appeal to every one with spark of sympathy for un- f51r ;sunate girls and Doys witnoat parents or a home of their own.
 The foundation of good citizenship is being laid by this worthy institu- tion. as evidenced by the splendid bearing of the boys who visited The Age-Herald building yesterday. The capacity of the home is limited to about 165 inmates, but it is always full, and it's beneficent work is car ried on continuously. The boys and GITlS Sc1L lllGIG IcCciNt all CASSiSilb training which equips them for the duties they are to perform in later life. There is certainly no philan- thropy that appeals more strongly to the hearts of all good men and women, and none more deserving of support.
 A number of boys and girls from the home have been giving series of public entertainments in the Birming- ham district, including instrumental and vocal music, recitations and two plays. It is gratifying to know that they have been greeted by crowded houses everywhere they have ap- peared and a large sum has been raised for the purpose of building a new laundry.
