DRAFT IN ALABAMA
 PROVED EXPENSIVE
More Than Half of Total Amount Expended Went
 to Board Members
Bv HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, January T.-(Special)-lt has previously been printed in this core spoudence that for every man that Ala bama has put under arms as result or the operation of the draft, the govern ment paid s9.S3. For Oklahomas sol diers the government paid s2.53 each.
 Alabama cost was judged eXcesslve' The total expenditure in that state, Sl33,- SG0SS, was divided as follows
 For board members, $73,185o; em- ployes, s49, ,464.007; physical examinations $S751 50; travel, S1, 1,71391; rent, $S44; sup plies, S4,59451; miscellaneous, $364.49
 From the above. it is to be noted that more than half the total money spent in Alabama went to board members
 Georgia's cost per man under arms was sS02. It's total expenditure was $147,06.7S. Tn round numbers, it's board members re- ceived $65 600 to Alabama's $7S,000; its em- ployes, $28, 900 to Alabama s s49,000; it's phy sical examinations cost $1300 to Ala bama S s3700; it's travel. s51 to Alabama s s17O0 it's rent, $45 to Alabama $50; its supplies, $12O0, to Alabama's $4500 Geor- gia, however, spilled the beans when, after making such a magnificent record it turned in miscellaneous expense ac- count of $51 ,009, compared to Alabama s expense account of only $364
 Alabama's miscellaneous expense &C., count nevertheless, is abnormally large compared to Louisiana's nothing. Missis- s.ppi's s5.70; Mane's $46, and Indiana's $57.

 The postma ster of Florence, M. w.

Price, and an effort is being made to secure q typewriter Much good work is be- ing done by this chapter Mrs. l.. J. Bradley of Pruitton has just secured enough wool from the workroom to knit "A pairs of socks, after having finished large amount. Mrs. Turner Wesson of north Florence, is teaching ladies to knit delivering the material to all who cannot come for 1t, and collecting the finished articles and turning them into headquarters.
 An unusual sight in this section of the country is the large amount of ice to be seen floating in the Tennessee river near Lock Nine of canal headquarters, nine miles from Florence.

Weather Conditions Demoralize the Steel
 and Iron Industry

Fresh demand for finished steel apart from government requirements has remained so moderate that some smaller mills are becoming more com cerned as to bookings. Tense situation has developed in structural shapes and to lesser degree in plates where num- erous fabricators are refusing to ac- cept tonnage placed before fixing of prices, September 26. Everybody specifications have been given. Liti- gation is threatened by some of the mills.
 Demoralizing situation for efficient and sustained blast furnace operations has brought a menace of pig iron shortage more sharply into view. In- termittent banking of furnaces has de- stroyed both tonnage and quality of output and the yield of off-iron has been heavy.
 Meagre stocks in makers hands have dwindled farther. Statement is made on competent authority that virtually not a merchant company in the country, outside of the south, is likely to be able to show a profit for the month of January.

 The money in currency was found stored neatly in a hiding place which Captain Whistler had evidently pre- pared for it. It's discovery was prob- ably a lucky one, as there was a theory that he had an accomplice.

ANTI-TIPPINC BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
THE MEASURE WILL NOW BE-
COME LAW WHEN 1T is SIGN
ED BY THE GOVERNOR.

The anti-tipping bill, which was
introduced by Mr.. Pickett, of Terrell,
and was passed by the house some
days ago, has been passed by the
senate by a vote of % to 5, and will
become law when signed by the gov
ernor. 1t had been freely predicted
that the measure would be killed in
the senate, and surprise was express
ed IN some quarters when its passage
was announced.
The bill places the practice of tip
ping in hotels, restaurants, barber
shops, common carrier and sleeping
cars and in public places under pen
atty of fine Of $25 or ten days i'm
prisonment, or both.
1t was declared by Senators Den
ny and Hopkins that the passage of
the bill would tend to drive colored
labor from the state. Senator Beck
claimed that "tippees are economic
vampires"
Senator Elders stated that one
New York hotel company had been
paid 100000 for the hat checking
privilege in the southern states. Sen
ator Davis sarcastically declared that
such legislation is farcical.

AVIATORS FALL 200 FEET
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND
Lieutenant and Cadet Had Miracu-
lous Escape When Machine Turn
ed Turtle at Shellman.

An airplane from Souther Field
fell a distance of about 200 feet
Thursday afternoon on the outskirts
of Shellman while attempting to
make a landing.
The occupants, Lieutenant Russell
and Cadet O'Connor, were painfully
though not seriously injured. They
were given first aid by Mrs. Dunn,
Miss Rochelle Wilson and Miss Eve
Ign Crittenden, and later were taken
to the office of a physician and their
injuries given attention Charlotte
Speer, an old negro nanny, was the
first to reach the scene of the acct
dent and picked up one Of the injur-
ed men in her arms and carried him
some distance to an automobile.
An ambulance and surgeon were
sent from Souther Field for the in
jured aviators, and a short stop was
made in Dawson on the return trip.
| An investigation by officers of
Souther Field showed that the tai
Of the plane broke, causing the ma
chine to spin and turn turtle. The
machine was completely demolished
