PRESIDENT SIGNS NAME
WITH HIS LEFT HAND

Washington, November 10.-(Special.)-
1t now comes to light that President Will
son is ambidextrous. In addition to his
many other accomplishments, the Presi-
dent can and does sign his name with
either hand. 1t was not always true.
Roughly speaking, the President signs
his name to 1890 public documents each
year. During the war, when he had to sign
commissions, that number was vastly in
creased The President takes great pride
in the neatness of his work.
And he complained of pain in his right
hand. DR.. Grayson termed the trouble
neuritis and ordered his patient to desist.
Under restraint. the President chafes and
displays irritation. He wanted to con-
tinue his work. So unknown to his physi-
clan, he began to use his left hand.
He finally convinced himself that he
could do the work as neatly and accep-
tably with his left as his right. So the
next time Grayson referred to neuritis the
President displayed his newest trick and
showed the pride that a boy shows when
possessed of new toy.
During his illness the President retains
ability to use his left hand. and was
with his good left, holding an indeli5le
pencil, that ne recently signed pardons
for six soldiers confined in federal pris-

usefulness of the plant-practically its
entire usefulness--in peace times Will
be to the agricultural interests of the
nation, and it is my hope that from both
points of view the suggestion can re-
ceive sympathetic study.
1T will be observed that the bill pro-
poses operation by a corporation in
which the government will be the sole
stakeholder. rather than through one
of the established bureau of the war
department. The choice of such an in
strument is dictated by the greater
freedom with which the commercial and
scientific undertakings of the plant
can be carried on under such circum-
stances, and the operation of the
Panama canal railroad is appealed to as
illustrating the advantage of that form
'of operation in a somewht analogous,
though it seems to me more persuasive,
instance.
When the bill has been introduced
and referred. it will give me great pleas
ure to lay all the details of the pres
ent situation and such accurate fore
casts as our engineers have been able
to make before the committee for their
consideration. The department believes
that it will be possible with the outlay
suggested in the bill to produce on 2
commercial basis recognized chemical
products of high value and ready sale
even prior to the completion of the
dam and the installation of hydro
electric power. When that end of the
project is completed an even more ia
vorable result will be obtained and this
value of the plant, particularly to The
farmers, will be great and constantly
growing"

GROCERS PROTEST AGAINST
GOVERNMENT SALES

Washington. November 1O.-(Special)-
The Hill chain of grocery stores repre-
sented in practically all southern cities,
has protested from it's Birmingham Office
against the plan of the administration
disposing Of surplus groceries direct to
the people.
This practice is termed in the protest
"un-American." q,
The grocers contend that IL the govern
ment would turn over it's surplus to them
and bear the cost of transportation, the
surplus would reach the people as cheaply
as it now reaches them through direct
dealing between the government and the
people.
The grocers aver that 1t is offensive for
the government to go into the retail gro
Gerry business. The protest was filed by
Senator Underwood with the quarter
masters department of the army. This
department has entire jurisdiction in the
premises, and the private opinion of
senator may or may not have weight.

HOBBIE SEEKS RELIEF
FROM SUGAR SHORTAGE

Washington. November 10-(SpeciaL)
Richard M. Hobbie of Montgomery, in
the name Of all grocers of alabama. has
come to Washington to urge action on
the part of the sugar equalization board.
in that the Alabama sugar famine might
be alleviated.
So little satisfaction was obtained in
washington that Mr.. Hobbie will go to-
morrow to New York, where the equah-
cation board makes it's headquarters.
Senator Underwood advised an appeal in
person to Chairman Barnes, as the chair
man is responsible to no man save the
and Birmingham are almost as bad.
1.-The sugar shortage in Alabama is very
serious" said Mr.. Hobbie. Mobile has
been without sufficient sugar for two
months and conditions in Montgomery
and Birmingham are almost as bad.
Louisiana is in our territory, and we
should get Louisiana sugar. But I'M
derstand that the Louisiana product, I'M
der the present distribution scheme, goes

For the Good of
the Community

TRAVELLING through the United
IL States is body of men who are
leaders in commerce and industry in Er-
rope. They are studying industrial and
trade conditions in this country and lay
ing the foundations for future CONNER
cial relations of the nations of the world.
\ They came to the United States to rep
resent their respective nations at the In
ternational Trade conference held at At
klantic City the latter part of October
\ They were invited to Birmingham by
1.-THE Chamber of Commerce. One of the
delegates, Scotchman, partly repre-
Isenting the British Isles came to Birming-
ham, spent day, saw part of the indus
trial district and was so we'll pleased that
Ehe advised the Chamber of Commerce to
Invite the entire body to come here.
b birmingham makes a great many
things that Europe will need during it's
reconstruction period" he told acting
Manager C. E. jerks, of the Chamber of
Commerce, ''and the personal contact be-
tween these delegates and Birmingham
manufacturers will result in business con-
nection of immense value to Birmingham
and to Europe"
The invitation followed the next day,
but for reasons unknown here, Birn1ing-
ham was not included in their itinerary.
Following the conclusion of the trade con-
ference the visitors started on their trip.
Pittsburgh, Cleveland Chicago, ST. Louis
and other cities in the north and west
either have been or will be visited. but
not one place south Of the Ohio river5is
on their route. |
It is known that, the British delegation
was anxious to come south, to Birn1ing-
ham, for a personal inspection of indus
trial development here, but it seems they
were overruled.
The Chamber of Commerce, through
President r. A. Brown, is making one
more effort to bring the commissioners
to Birmingham. An urgent appeal to
change their routing SO as to include Bir-
mingham has been forwarded to them,
and Senators Underwood and Bankhead
have been requested to use their influ-
ence to this end It is understood that
they have interested themselves in the
matter and if it is possible for them to do
so, they will induce those in charge Of the
trip to detour the commissioners by way
Of Birmingham, or failing in this, have
them come from Washington when they
return there shortly.
While the Chamber of Commerce has
taken the lead in this matter every other
civic organization and every manufac-
turer and business man in the district is
equally interested. By joining the Cham
Der Of Commerce in this movement they
might, by combined effort be able to pre-
vail upon the trade commissioners to
come here
Their coming will mean great deal
to Birmingham manufacturers who are
just now casting their eyes to foreign
counties for possible trade in the years
