TWO WEEKS RECESS
 OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
 COMMENCES TODAY
"Furlough" Prompted by Patriotic Desire to Conserve Fuel-Time Will Be Made Up by
 Longer Days

Beginning today, all public schools in Birmingham will be closed for two weeks, as announced yesterday by the school board.
 The time lost will be regained by longer days when the weather permits school to be held without heat. It is thought that by the addition of an hour or two a day, that the time can be made up without the extension of the regular term.
 Much discussion has been given to the plan to close the schools; it being stated that there was sufficient coal already on hand to run them, but the point was made by those advocating the 'furlough" that the closing was rot on account of the fuel to heat them being needed but because of it being an act of patriotic duty to conserve fuel. During the recess Prof. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of public schools, has called for volunteers from among the corps of school teachers and among the senior high school pupils, to assist the local exemption boards with their work, as they are receiving more at the pres ent than can be handled with the same clerical force as heretofore

F DOCS WILL START IN B|G CHAMPIONSHIP
 FREE-FOR-ALL EVENT
De Soto Frank, Present Holder, Will Have Keen Competition for $500
 Purse and Cup

Calhoun, January N.-The free-for-aiI. championship upon which hinges a purse of $500, and highly decorated cup of the National Field Trials association, will commence here Monday, when F welI-known and famous dogs will be entered,
 The cup was won last year by DeSoto Frank, owned by Capt A. c. c. Sage, president of the association, and if the wonderful dog wins it this time, 1t goes to the owner to keep.
 The trial, which will probably end Wednesday, will be contested by the dogs grouped as follows:
 Candy Kid and Old Joe's White Fox; Billy k. and Commissioners Amorette Ocrahu: Adam and Miss Pansy; Rowe- ma and Mary Montrose: Jack Davis. Jr.. and Comanche Rap; DeSoto Frank and Gunner.
 Immediately after will follow the stud dog stake the futurity, open to puppies sired by dogs nominated for that 2ur- pose and born on or after November l, 1915, valued at S2500 and the Herman Duryea cup. Interest centers on this trial for the reason 1t is the first time 1t was ever run. Some of the entries will be we'll known winners of the prss- ent season.
 An interesting feature of the trials Is that the winners will be paid in liberty bonds.
 Those present follow: Dr. R. P. Bolton of New York city: Theodore Sturges of Fairfield, Conn; F. T. Bedford and George C. Parsons of New York.
 The judges are Theodore .Sturges and Col R. c. Steadman, the latter of Win ston-Salem, N. c.

Bessemer. January 27.-(Special) The merchants generally will observe the second 'heatless" Monday tomor- rcw and according to the orders is- sued by United States Fuel Adminis- trator pr. Garfield there will be very little. if any, business in Bessemer on that day.
 Grocery stores will be allowed to remain open until 12 o'clock, but the food administrator of the county re- quests as a patriotic duty they stay closed all day unless 1t is necessary to open in the morning
 Frank B. Fowlkes, chairman of the Jefferson county fuel board, stated: According to the way interpret the order of pr. Garfield it applies to all merchants selling groceries. meats and fruits and they will be required to close at l2 o'clock noon. I am of the opinion that the government wishes the people of the United States to ob serve the Mondays during the dura- ton of the order as holidays and the public seems to be willing to CO., operate with the government in this respect 1t Is a patriotic duty to close the stores on Monday, or at least, think that is the way the govern ment looks at it."
 number of merchants expressed themselves today as being willing to cooperate with the government in any way possible and will not open thelr stores on Monday.

THURSTON TELLS OF
 ANCIENT CLOCKS

Thurston, the magician, is interested in anything that will keep time. from a sundial to the final chronometer, and is the owner of quite collection of peculiar watches. and antiques. Tn his necktie he wears an obelisk of gold. a reproduction of Cleopatras s needle which stands in Central Park, New York city.
 Not many people know it. said MT. Thurston, when seen by an Age- Hera0d reporter yesterday at the Tutwiler. but the obelisk was one of the first time pieces used by the ancients. They were very common in Egypt, and with this simple instrument the Egyptians first computed the lenght of the year. As rhe sun moved in the sky, the shadow Of the pillar moved on the pavement, and noon was marked when the shadow was shortest. The length of the shadow at neon varied from day to day; it was miGwinter. Twice in the year the shad- ow of the pillar pointed due west at sum- rise and due east at sunset-that Is the shadow at the beginning of the day was in the same straight line as at It's end. These two days marked the two equi- noxes of spring and summer.
 By counting the days between the shortest shadows-from summer sol- stice to summer solstice-the ancients found the length of the year-365 days. five hours and 4s minutes and 4S sec onds. These odd hours gave the an- cient a great deal of trouble. They couldn't make the seasons come at the right time. After a while their winter came in August and September in the summer solstice. Julius Caesar fixed things by making a year of S65 days, and adding a day every four years. Even this wouldn't do. and by the time of Pope Gregory, the Julian calendar was 10 days behind. It was in 1752 that the English parliament decreed that Sep tember 2, should be September IA, to make up the lost time. and the people of the lower classes, thinking they had been robbed of that much time, ran after the members and pelted them with mud and stones."
 Thurston will be at the Jefferson all week with matinees today, Wednesday and Saturday.

DISCRETION IS URGED

Montgomery, January T.-(Specia'! Action of county fuel administrators, es- pecially of Montgomery county, in con- fiscating coal consigned to other points in Alabama, has caused more trouble and confusion than the shortage of coal and has become so serious that Gov ernor Henderson and Samuel P. Kenne- dy, state fuel administrator, have urged all county administrators to use discre- ton in confiscating coal passing through their counties.
 Henry N. Hughes, Montgomery fuel administrator, during the week, confis- cated large number of cars which were consigned to other towns. As a result, Montgomery obtained sufficiency oi coal while other towns suffered. Gov ernor Henderson succeeded in having certain cars released and thus released the immediate needs of Mobile, Troy, Dothan, Ozark and other towns.
 John Moffat, recording secretary to the governor, worked throughout yes terday in obtaining one car of coal for Ozark, which had reported that it was absolutely without coal for local needs. It's coal had been confiscated.
 An order has been issued to county fucI administrators not to seize coal consigned to municipalities, schools and those interests which might suffer severely by the action.
