Bicycle Is Popular,
 States Local Expert

The fellow who thinks the bicycle is going out of style has the wrong dope. according to MT. Bryant, the bicycle man of Fairfield.
 As a matter of fact. he says, tho bicycle is more popular than the motor cycle. It Is widely used in sections of the country where there are gOoi roads and in cities where there are few hills, 1t is more in demand than any other vehicle than the automo- bile.
 Bicycle shops are opened on many corners in towns by men who have had only the experience of their own machines. To be an expert bicycle me- chanic there is as much training re- guired as for an automobile mechanic or an airplane mechanic.
 Experts of this kind are kept by the Bryant Brothers in their four stores In Alabama, at Fairfield, Besse- mer, Ensley and Tuscaloosa. Careful attention is given to the minor details and the kind of service that adds to the life of the bicycle instead of sub tracing from it Is given.
 The Bryant Brothers are also ex- elusive agents in this district for n number of the well known brands of bicycles. Their salesmen and agentt are distributed throughout the north 'ern portion of the state.

ULSTER MEN COME
TOPRESENT CASE
Delegates of Irish Churches
in Protestant Ireland to
Speak Here.

The official delegates from the Irish

to present the viewpoint of northern
Ireland. familiarly known as Ulster,
which is opposed to the Sim Fem.
Will speak at a public mass meeting
TO be held Tuesday night at o'clock

terian Church.
These delegates represent the Epls-
churches and. according to their
statement have come here, not Tor
political, financial or anti-Catholic
reasons. but for the sole purpose OF
presenting facts about the Sim Feln.
1t is stated by leaders of the deie-
cation that the Sim Fein is 1reland's S
present danger and is using America
to further its ends; therefore the peo-
pie of America must be told of its
dangers and evils.
Five plans have been formulated

country:
l. To preach in the largest churches
on Sunday. not touching the Irish
question directly Preaching the gos-
pei as it is preached in Ireland.
>. To address ministers meetings.
regular or special.
8. To address mass meetings either
in churches or in auditoriums.
A. To speak to the student bodies
of colleges and universities in each
center.
5. To meet influential men in the
cities which they visit.

made up as follows:

Difficult Financial Period.

Describing the difficulties attending
the immediate establishment of any
llan of private management with
adequate credit to provide the nee
essary capital needed for private de-
Nciorment. Mr.. Hines said that It was
generally agreed that this was one
of the most difficult financial periods
IL the history of the world.
OBVIOUSLY" he continued 1T will
lie more difficult to establish sat
isfactorily the credit of a large num-
her of railroad companies at the
present moment than it would be to
do this at a later date when tinan-
cial conditions generally have be-
come better stabilized.
Railroad credit is dependent. of
course, upon the conclusions which
the investing public reach as to the
earning capacity of the railroads. No
one would seriously contend that 1918
furnished a satisfactory basis for
earn on the basis of given rate
level. but as a matter of fact 1919 is
going to be equally unreliable, and
probably more so.
There probably could not be a
more difficult time in which to read
gust rates so as to reaSsure the rail-
road investor and at the same time
reasonably protect the public.
BY reason of this condition. the
public interest is confronted with a
serious dilemma. How can it at the
present moment make rates high
enough to constitute adequate reas-
surance to railroad credit without at
The same time making them much
higher than would likely turn out to
ne necessary If the period of read
lustment could be postponed until a
time of more stable conditions I'm
doubtedly. if the policy be adopted
of establishing independent railroad
credit instantly. at all hazards, it
would be only logical to make the
rate increases large enough to do so.
Public Must Pay Price.
"On one point l believe there must
be agreement and that is that any
rate increase which will at all es-
tablish an adequate credit for the
various railroad companies operating
INDEPENDENTLY on their own reSpon-
sibility must be substantially greater
than rate increase which would pro-
tect the situation temporarily if unified
control were continued until more stable
conditions appear. This means that the
public must pay very substantial
price in an additional increase in
rates for the privilege of the imme- :
"ltt- resumption of private manage
ment."
Defending the results obtained un-
der federal control the director gen
cral said the deficit incurred was not
due to excessive costs, but to the
fact that the prices charged for rail-
road transportation have not been in
creased in keeping with the increa ses
in prices of commodities"
IF the rate increases made n June
1918. had been effective January /
1915" the director general said, from
which time, of course, the increased
expenses We're largely effective. the
additional revenue without any in
crease in operating expenses would
have been s494 900. 900. thus more than
