CAMP ANDREWS ID
 RUN INDEFINITELY Boy Scouts Camp to Be Con- tinued During Summer,
 Plan of Committee

The executive committee, Birmingham council Boy Scouts of America, have made a change in their original plans in regard to the length of time which Camp Andrews would remain open. The camp will be run indefinitely instead of the three weeks, provided for in the budget of the camp.
 The executive committee expected to run the camp for period of three weeks. scout to attend this camp was required to pay a fee of s. The scout council, aware of the fact that this fee would not cover the expenses of one
 boy for one week, and the balance re-
 quired was drawn from the budget pro vision.
 This week marks the end of the three weeks during which the camp was to be run, but the venture has been such a success and so many have requested that the camp be continued, that the scout of- ficials have decided to continue the camp provided those attending the camp pay sufficient amount to cover the ex- penses incurred
 The camp will be continued just as long as 25 boys are in attendance, each pay ing S10 per week. A careful accounting
 will be kept of the expenses incurred, and should the s10 prove larger charge than is necessary, the excess will be re- funded to the boys at the end of their stay at camp.
 It is expected that under this plan many of the scouts will continue in camp during the summer. and the executive committee desires to impress upon the parents of scouts that the smaller the number of boys in attendance, the more personal attention can be given to each one. Each camping week will begin or Saturday, and any scout who wishes to attend camp can register at scout head | quarters by F o'clock of the preceding 1 Friday.

By the end of the present year Sir mingham will have in operation one of the largest rubber tire inner lin- ing manufacturing plants in the coun- try, and if current rumors prove true within another 12 months two, and possibly more, of the largest rubber tire plants in the country will be op- erating in Birmingham,
 The Ray Tire and Rubber company, which has had its southern branch of flee in Birmingham since early in the year. will erect factory in North Bir- mingham covering about 40 acres or land, for the manufacture of the Ray puncture- proof interliner for automo- bile tires.

BEST LOCATION

Birmingham is going to be the con- ter of the rubber industry before many years" said MT. Tyler yesterday. Be cause of the mild weather in winter work can be continued throughout IT year. Birmingham, by reason or the development of the Warrior river. has practically an all-water route to Sou;n America. with consequent cheap trans nortation charges. This Is an advant- age not possessed by any other city.
 sIt is a direct course from Mobi.e to south America and the distance As considerably shorter than from any other port. With the Warrior river coming within a few miles of Bir-
 mfngham, this city is the logical loca-
 tion for the rubber industry of the
 United States, and have information
 that two. and possibly more, plants
 of that kind will be built here within
 a year or two"
 When built, the Birmingham plah' of the Ray Tire and Rubber company will be the parent factory. at which the cotton fabric will be ruboerizeF and then shipped to other factories. It is stated that the directors or a least one of the large rubber manutac' turing corporations in the north have decided to locate branch factory ir Birmingham, bringing the crude rub her here from South America and con
 verting it into the finished product These new industries, if they comt here, and the information is that they vii, come, will be the direct result O. the development of the Warrior rlvel and the inauguration of regular steam ship service from Mobile to Soutt America by the United States shipping board.
 The directors of these corporations are understood to have made an ln vestigation of Birmingham as loca' tion for the rubber industry, consider ing it from the viewpoint of the manu facturer, it's trade territory, it's rai and water ehnection with the entire south: and the direct and short route from Mobile to South America.

seemed to be doing his best to
lose the match by being consis-
rently short with his puts, out
for all that there was chance of
victory at the last hole.
At this crisis the caddie con-
sidered it right to inform the
statesman what depended on his
play. on that occasion, and that

in putting, h he caddie would
be the loser to the extent of six
pence. Balfour promised to do
his best, but again fell short and
the match vast lost.

for a few moments after

pipe and looked toward the
heavens. Then he turned to the
Minister and addressing him
solemnly, sadly said: "Eh, mon,
