HE HANGED HIMSELF

Col L. b. Musgrove, though his sou!
is suffused with dreams of sitting in
the Senate of the United States, man
ages, nevertheless, to uncork several
very good stories on his every trip TIC
Birmingham. without striving to dis
place Aesop, he has a yarn which Tar
surpasses the old myth wherein one
avaricious individual killed the goose

Walker county millionaire ayers that
a thoughtless gentleman, endeavorlnS
to tow a very aged and decrepid mule
from the rural precincts into Jasper,
was greatly perturbed when the anil
NAL, through fatigue, fell to the road,
and, losing balance, rolled to the foot
of a precipitous declivity. Having fol-
lowed the mule to the foot of the hill,
the frantic owner, in final effort 70
induce the biped to recover the ele-
walton, drew a flask of whisky full
quart-and emptied the contents into
the NAV of the multi. Whereupon, the
perverse though aged and grateful AMI
NAL, got to its feet. climbed the hlll
and walked nimbly into Jasper. There
the owner related the incident and YER

MEMORIAL ROADS
AS A TRIBUTE TO
ALABAMA'S MEN

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
1 note that meeting of the Alabama
Highway Improvement association has
been called for April and 4. to meet
in Birmingham. Note also that the
Alabama Soldier Memorial association
has been in session recently.
Why not combine the two?
If Alabama should decide to build
memorial commensurate with the
Service of our boys she must builc
large 1t should be something. too
that would serve the people of the
whole state. both now and for the com
ing generations.
Memorial highways are@the most
worthwhile and the most fitting monu-
ment that an appreciative people could
possibly erect.
What think you of this: A system
of highways that shall connect each
county seat with it's neighbor in the
adjoining county? This system to he
of roads so broad and so strongly built
that people 100 years from today may
use and marvel at their beauty and
stability These highways to be known
as Alabama Memorial to Her Sol
lier Boys"
Then each county build along this
highway such memorials as she de-
SlreS to ner local boys. IHey Coulu DC
ornate arches, columns, parks or any
other idea that suited. Every neigh
borhood could plant trees and shrubs
and beautify it's particular stretch of
road and even the family living on or
adjacent to these roads could have It's
particular piece of road to beautify.
The cost? 1t would be heavy. of
course but, let's see: Could Alabama
better place her donation to the memo
rial?. The nation would add to the S.,
100000 she has already given u.s. into
which you might enter for dona-
ton to such a cause? Would not the
rich respond with great liberality to
such an appeal? Is there man or
woman in the state to whom you could
not go with the certainty of success,
for such a memorial? And in remem-
bering those who served humanity 50
well we too, will be serving humanity.
Can you conceive of memorial in any
other form that, so years from today,
would be viewed with like pride?
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN NJ CLARK.

Little Stories About
Visitors to Birmingham
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Frank Marquis. who, with Linn Pal
mer, changed the name of Horse Creek,
a picturesque center of Walker county,
with wild west" characteristics, TO
the more euphonius but effete Dora,
is a visitor to Birmingham. Mr.. Mar
quis was appointed by Ex-Governor
Henderson to membership on the tax
equalization board and for four years
rendered fine service. In the last cam
paign he threw his support to 'Plaiu
BIZ Brandon, and when the candidate
from Tuscaloosa went down in defeat,
Mr.. Marquis perceived the handwriting
on the wall. The Legislature gave Gov
ernor Kilby power to remove without
cause any state official holding office
by virtue of appointment-but before
the ak could fail, Mr.. Marquis resigned.
The governor named as successor 10
Mr.. Marquis the loveable Joe Johnson
of Birmingham. and the world moves
on just the same.

CAPT. UNDERWOOD COMING

Senator Underwood has postponed
his visit to Mobile and other points in
the southern section of the state. The
postponement was due to the recep-
ton of a telegram from his son, Capt.
oscar Underwood, saying he would
reach Birmingham from his Texas
station Monday. Captain Underwood
entered the service from this city as
a private and served on the Mexican
border When General Steiner organ
lied the cavalry troop, he made Pri-
vate Underwood captain Later, the

SPEAKING OF VISION

James F. Aston of Tuscaloosa, re-
turning yesterday from st. Louis. pass
ed through Birmingham. When the
war made a ready market for every
variety of staple product, Mr.. Aston
got into the lumber business. While
he says nothing of the kind himself,
his friends tell stories to the effect
that as result of his forethought, he
acquired an amount of money which,
in the eyes of the ordinary mortal, is
tantamount to fortune Mr. Aston IS
the son of S. f. Aston and son-in law
of Judge William w. Brandon, citizen
of the state-at-large.

PROBLEM OF CONSERVATION

DR.. Acheson told his hearers of the
Rotary. club that if the information he
obtained be correct, the United states
produces approximately 60 per cent of tins
petroleum of the world. If that be so we
must be producing more than 60 per cent
of the lubricating oil, because much o.
the petroleum found in foreign countries
is of a very heavy, thick character and
is best available for fuel. 1t is likely
that many other deposits of petroleum
will be found in the world.
Dr. Clapp, who is one of the four lead
ing authorities on the world petroleum
production, has recently published a Sc
ries of articles in which he has pointed
out the vast resources of petroleum whlci,
exist in South America. There seemed
to be clear ihtimation in his article
that the United States may be compelled
by reason of the possible exhaustion OF
our petroleum, some of the experts saying
that this may come within 16 years, TO
import more and more petroleum from
Mexico and from South America. When
1T ii recalled that for long time one oil
the chief exports from the United states
was petroleum and its products, there
does seem to be reason for apprehension
lest the enormous use of petroleum pro-
duced in the United States may gradually
exhaust our supply so that instead OF
becoming a heavy exporter of petroleum
we NAV find ourselves obliged to import
perhaps as much as we formerly eN'
ported.
Dr. Acheson was one OF the 1lfst 10
begin an agitation which had for its pur-
nose the conservation of our natural re-
sources He did this briefly at the meet
ing of the governors which was calle :!
by President Roosevelt to consider how
best we could conserve our chief re-
sources, which are land. forest, minerals
and water, oil being included, of course,
among the minerals DR.. Acheson told
his hearers at Miami of the possibility
of great conservation of our coa'
through the utilization of hydro
electricity, our natural resources IN
waterpower being inexhaustible He
also smoke of a method recently discov-
cred of fabrication which permits the
reduction in the consumption of oil by
more than one-half of that which Is used
under the old method. He intimated that
II is possible that chemistry may discov"
or a process for making petroleum lub-
ricating oil from carbon and hydrogen
which are always obtainable. In fact, he
intimated that we may perfect the meth
DDS of extracting oil from shale SO as to
meet the requirements. 1t is now evident
that the people have awakened to the
necessity of conservation of our oil re-
sources The recent organization of the
association of oil producers is proof thar
the agitation begun by DR.. Acheson ana
others several years ago is beginning 10

States in 1918 furnished S45o0,ooo bar
rels of lubricating oil to the civilized
world can best be grasped when it is
known that the clothing we wear, all
the articles on our person, the house we
live in and practically every article in
the houses would not exist were there no
iubricstion.
This statement, or one similar to it,,
was made a few days ago in an exhaus
tive article upon our oil resources, the
article going so far as to say that civili-
zatiou as we now know it could not be
maintained were it not for fabrication.

GASOLINE HAS
UNIQUE HISTORY
By HOLLAND

New York, March Especial Mot,
many years have passed since the late
Jabez A. Bostwicll found himself in great
perplexity because there seemed to be
no way of utilizing, commercially, gaso-
line. Mr.. BostwicS was one of the lead
ers in the Standard Oil company. His in
terest in the development of by-products
from petroleum was always very great
and it was this which led him to won
der whether it would not be possible to
find some way by which gasoline, at that
time an absolute waste product, follow
ing the refining. of petroleum. could be
put to commercial use.
After many inquiries and much investi-
CATION Mr.. Bostwick was thrown into
association with man who was of a sci
entific turn of mind and who was con-
WINGED that gasoline, instead of being
an absolute waste product, could be SO
captured and utilized as to become per-
haps, quite as important as any of the
by-products from petroleum This man
made Investigations and experiments and
economically and adequately employed in
driving an internal combustion engine.
He established plant at Bridgeport,
Conn, where gasoline was made use of
in driving motor boats. Mr. Bostwick
was repjoiced. He was confident that in
a short time gasoline would command a
worldwide market. Then came the auto
mobile, which might not have been de-
Neloped to such an extent as is the case,
had the first manufacturers of automo-
biles not taken hint from the builders
of motor boats and adapted the internal
combustion engine SO that gasoline could
be used as the explosive force in driv-
ing it.
Having been invited by the Rotary club
of Miami, Fla, to deliver an address to
its members, DIR. +. G. Acheson, who has
been sojourning this winter at Miami, ac-
cepted the invitation and spoke briefly
but impressively to these club members.
The organization represents men who
think, men who have been active in our
industrial and commercial life. including
some men of financial reputation. Re-
ports that tell of this meeting reached
New York today.
In the course of his address DIR. Ache
son spoke of the necessity of conserving
our natural resources, among which pc
troleum stands prominent, almost pre-
dominant He was able to say something
which would have rejoiced Mr.. Bostwick
were he now living, for he told his hear
ers that gasoline was commonly thought
to have been, next to ammunition, the
most voluminous and valuable product
we supplied to our allies. For several
years DR.. Acheson has made careful
study of our oil resources so that he was
well fortified with facts and figures with
which to emphasize the various points
which he made
He told his hearers that in 1917 we sold
to the allies 390,0o0,c00 gallons of gaso
| line, the magnitude of the figures not
having been understood by the people
| until the so-called gasless Sundays OF
last fall demonstrated the enormity of
our use of it. These facts justify the
prediction made ,by Mr.. Bostwick in the
early COS that gasoline would become one
of the most valuable of the by-products
| of petroleum.
