Tn one of the private dining rooms of the Tutwiler hotel Thursday night was given a splendid supper to the employees of the Jenkins Taxicab com pany. An appetizing menu was served and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves.

Judge Phares Coleman, Charles Denegre, F. s. Dunlap and Henry Jenkins spoke very Interestingly on the subject, and 1t was expected that the employees of the com- pany would follow out the plans de- cided upon

PLANT OPERATORS URGED ID AID IN FUEL CONSERVATION
Alabama Technical Men Dis cuss Fuel Problems at Meeting-Davis Reads
 Paper of Interest

The Alabama Technical association held an enthusiastic meeting at the Country club when C. B. Davis read q paper on Fuel Conservation and In creased Fuel Production" MT. Davis stated the amount of fuel saved by conservation in this state would not be at all adequate to meet the in- creased demands, and for this reason urged such steps as the opening up or new mines for obtaining increases tonnage.
 The paper was thoroughly discussed and F. G. Cutler. chief of the bureau of steam engineers of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and ailroad company, sug- gested that as far as Alabama was concerned, the tendency is to utilize water power, coke braize and gas for fuel in place of coal. The use Of low pressure turbines for conserving the energy that is wasted in exhaust steam, particularly in the Birming- ham district.
 H. H. Gassman, consulting engineer, pointed out the difficulty of opening up new mines and undermining exist ing mines on account of the large amount of capital invested; the dif- fculty of obtaining equipment and se- curing labor necessary to operaSe them. He suggested that conserva- tion campaign be waged and industrial plants consuming more than five tons per day be urged to conserve coal.
 H. S. Geismer, mining engineer, pointed out the fact that an increase in output was a question of getting more cooperation from the labor em- ployed in and around the coal mines. He suggested that the members of the Alabama Technical association, as well as other engineering organizations, use their efforts individually and coll lectively towards bringing the serious ness of the situation home to all those engaged in coal mining opera tions, while Martin J. Lide, consulting engineer, suggested that a much great CT gain in efficiency could be secured by replacing inefficient types of steam engines than by trying to boiler efficiency.
 The following resolution was unan- imously adopted by the association following the discussion:
 That it is the sense of the Alabama Technical association to urge opera tors to run their plants with the great est possible regard for the conserva- ton of fuel and also that employees and operators cooperate to run mines and industrial plants continuously and at the best possible output, making such sacrifices as are necessary With a view of furnishing maximum pro- duction, and thereby very materially assisting our government in bringing the war to a prompt and successful conclusion"
