DO you HELP The ENEMY?
Great English Statesman Says Money
Spent for Luxuriss Aids
the Hun.

Here are q few points on thrift
given by the British Chancellor Of
tho Exchequer which are worthy Of
emulation by Americans:
Lives must be lived more simply.
I Personal, household and business
expenses must be reduced to the
minimum.
Surplus weekly or monthly earn.
ings. over necessary expenditures.
must be invested straightway In war
securities.
Current balances at the banks
should be kept az small as possible
and the money invested in war bonds.
Nobody's money can be neutral.
Money lent to the country fights
for the country.
Money spent on luxurles and non.
essentials Is helping the enemy.

FROM A GERMAN VIEWPOINT
German Philosophers Idea Of Chris
tlanity Does Not Appeal to
Americana.

Frederick Wilhelm Nietzche was
n Of the most noted of modern Ger
man philosophers. How much has
his philosophy affected the views and
character Of the Germans Of today?
Is not the answe written in the
blood Of the women and children, the
old men Of occupied France and Bel
GUM? Are not the Lusitanta victims
witnesses to German adoption Of
Nfetzche's faith?
Here is his Indictment +, Of Chris
tianity:
with this I conclude, and pro-
nounce my sentence: I condemn
Christianity. To me It Ia the great
est Of all imaginable corruptions. The
church Is the great parasite; with
Its anemic idea OF holiness 1t drains
life Of all its strength, its love. and
its hope. The other world Is the mo-
tive for the denial OF every reality.
call Christianity the one great
curse, the one great instrtnsdc de-
prayity. the one great instinct Of
revenge. for which no expedient Is
sufficiently poisonous. secret. under.
hand. to gain its ends. I call 1t the
n immortal shame and blemish up
on the human race"
A prompt absorption ,K the Fourth
Liberty Loan will not only help to
win the war but will relegate Metz.

LOSS OF TIME AT COAL MINES DUE 10
 HACK 0F CARS SHOWN
Colonel Hutchens Gives Fig ures From April 6 to Sep tember 21, Inclusive,
 by Weeks

According to data prepared by the United States fuel administration loss of time at coal mines in Alabama during the period from April to September q. of the present year, due to car shortage ranged from one-tenth of one per cent for the week ending April to 4.e per cent for the week ending September 2l The worst period for the railroads was from July 22 to September q when the shortage ranged from 2.3 per cent to 4.6 per cent. During the week of July 21 coal production in the Birmingham district made it's high record, the out put that week being 433,562 tons with 26 per cent car shortage
 The following table of percentages, pre- pared by the United States fuel admin istration, was furnished Col. II. E lIutchens. terminal manager for the Bir- mingham district:
 Per cent time lost on account of no ears: For the week ended April 6, l.3: April lS or; April 20 OG; April q, o.i: May 1, O5; May Il, 0S; May lS. 0.2; May % 03: June l, 0.3; June S. 0.4; June l5 O.1; June P, 0.5; June 29, II; July 6, 0,l; July i3 0.5; July 20 0.S: July 2. 26: Au- gust 8.

With reference to decreased fuel pro duction in the Alabama coal mining dis tricts recently and the cause to some extent being attributed to car shortage" said Colonel Hutchens, the following data prepared by the fuel administra- tion and on file in the Washington of- flee shows that from a percentage stand point the time lost on account of no cars does not show up at all bad. On the other hand it seems to be an extra 2 ordinarily good showing, taking the weekly periods April to September T, as q whole.

SPECIFIC RULING
 ON STEAM HEAT MINUS, SAYS KENNEDY
Can Be Turned On as the Weather Demands

There seems to be some misunder- standing on the part of owners of steam heating plants and apartment houses with regard to the fuel regulations per- taining to this class of institutions. Ten ants of office buildings which get their heat from the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, and tenants of apartment houses have complained because heat was not turned on during the cool period in September and again Monday night and yesterday morning.
 When requested to turn the heat on it is stated the Birmingham Railway, CTS of apartment houses replied that un- der the fuel regulations they were not permitted to start fires in their fur naces until November l. To get a defi- nite ruling on this subject Secretary A. w. Nelson of the Jefferson county fuel committee, wrote to State Fuel Admin istrator s. R. Kennedy of Anniston, and he has received the following letter in reply:
 While the press has remarked the dates at which furnaces and heating Plants should be started, this office has never been advised officially of any such regulations. It would, there fore, seem consistent with good judg- ment that either the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company's heating system, or any other heating system, should turn on heat as the weather requires in the absence of any further or specific regulations.

If the request made by State Director George B. Tarrant of the United States employment service is aceeded to by Director General John B. Densmore, the ranks of the Liberty Loan workers will be recruited Friday by live and hust- ling bunch of canvassers.
 MT. Tarrant wired to MT Densmore yesterday for permission for all of the officials and employees of the employ ment service in this state to join forces with the Liberty Loan workers Friday in pushing the sales of Liberty Bonds. In the same telegram he suggested that similar action be taken in all other states and expressed the belief that if this is done the thousands of men and women thus added to the working forces in the campaign will give great i'm. petus and result in materially increasing the effectiveness of the campaign.
 In the event Director General Dens- more grants the requested permission every employment service office in the state will be closed Friday and the men and women employed therein will take the field as aids to the regular organiza- ton in securing subscriptions to Fourth Liberty Bonds.

Not!e- ing my four minute button Oh the lapel of my coat he said: I see you are . four minute man. Well. we are going to make several stops and speak in the interest of the drive and you must also make a four minute speech Of course l said I would and in shor. time the train stopped and We started out on the observation car. MT. Fair banks has one of the most striking personalities 1 have ever seen and is not the least bit spoiled.s He ran out on the rear or the car ana SdlQ, t1elIO, everybody, l am glad to see you This aroused the crowd and they began cheering. He made short talk after which he introduced Mir. Read, who writes many of his scenarios and he then introduced me, saying, We have another speaker. MT.

Any one could have spoken il. a crowd like that, and We sold si0,- GOO worth of bonds, while in many places where we stopped, the towns had gone over their quotas, but We urged them to double up.
 q was very glad to have the pleas ure of meeting MT Fairbanks" said Mir Coleman, especially as my young son Is so fond of him, and never misses Fairbanks picture.
 sMr. Fairbanks has retained his simplicity and the wonderful success he has made in the moving picture world and his worldwide popularity have not spoiled him in the least [ was most anxious to know if the stun S almost impossible were not faked, but he lauehingly said, We can't fool the movie fans like that. I really do ev- erything you see in the pictures He opened his hands which were full of corns, just the same as a laborer's are saving. This comes from climbing enjoyed knowing MT. Fairbanks very much and feel that he is doing a splen- did work for the government in aid- ing the various drives
