A very delightful play will be given by the Womans Aid Society of the Methodist church, in the Sunday schoolroom of the church, on Thurs day evening at s o'clock. The play entitled How the Story Crew. deals with a false runor which starts from an unknown source. As it passes from one lady to another the remarks be- come a little more general and by the time the story gets to the end of its journey it has resulted in a catas- trophe. The play will not only be very interesting but also exceedingly humorous. Those in the cast are: Mrs. Woolsey, Mrs. Peck, Mrs. Rid dell, Mrs. Leavenswo orth, Mrs. Bar nun, Mrs. Bleecher and Miss Eliza beth Rogers and Miss Eva Jewell. After the playlette there will be a halloween festival at which a gen. eral good time will take place.

England's National Debt

From "rhe British Industrial Crisis
by ]. Laurence Laughlin, in Scrio-
ner's"
AS is obvious. no one of the various
economic questions stands by itself
They are all move or less closely re-
lated. The matters of industry and
production intimately affect the car
rying of the huge war debt. In Aus
tin Chemberlain's recent preference
budget it was placed at S3S,400,o00, ooo.
If there be subtracted from this total
the loans to allies and to British do
minions perhaps SS,400, 100000, the
annual interest at 5 per cent on the
balance of $4,000, 100000 is s1,5oo,00e,-
600 Not-only must Great Britain car
ry this war debt together with
sinking fund for the ultimate extinc-
tion of the principal, but she mus r
meet heavy demands arising from the
war, such as heavy pensions, aids to
families of dead and manned soldiers
and all the OUTLAWS of Generalization
and reconstruction-in addition to the
burden of a normal budget for the or
binary expenses of government. Tnls
estimate is the very minimum for the
future. For 19.p-1920, however, the
charge for national dot service IS
ST. 800 900 900 while the total expenls-
ture is s7.174, $4,000 Under ali the
high pressure of war necessities the
total income for the same year is
placed at s6.O05, 100000. From taxes
alone, s4,7oO,O0O,O00 are counted upon.
Thus, in brief. we get view of the
prodigious burden pie ced by the war
on British industry. Can her industry
withstand this pressure? The war de-
mands can be met only by taking out
of the country'ss production enormous
ly greater sums than was ever dreamed
of in the past. If her productive eff
fieiency can be increased by greater
effort on the part of all the factors
of production, the task can be per-

Substantial Profit From
Derrick and Warehouse
By GARRARD HARRIS

Tuscaloosa, August 2.-(Special)
This is the story of how the ancient
capital of Alabama, supposed to be a
sleepy old university town, living
largely on past glories, has "come
back" with a rush, and while Mobile
and Birmingham are still discussing
what to do in the way of providing
terminals to handle the Warrior river
traffic, has her terminals in operation,
deriving a considerable revenue from
them in their incomplete shape and is
usin gthat income in further better
ments.
Long before the war the Warrior
river was an asset to Tuscaloosa. The
American Mirror" the first paper pub
lished in the towp of Tuscaloosa. in
1922, and edited by Thomas M. Daven-
port, states that the first steamboat
ever to come up the Black Warrior
was the Cotton Plant" S. Chandler,
master She was of so tons capacity
and was propelled by an engine of 80
horsepower. She made the round trip
25 days, that is to say, she left Mobile
on December 5. 1921 and spent Is days
on the upward trip, arriving at Tus-
caloosa on December 81, 1921. She
left on the downward trip on the 29th,
arriving at Mobile on the 30th, MAX
ing the downstream in only nine days
On her second trip she left Mobile
on January 10, 1922, and came through

say, about five and one-half days, in
