ANOTHER ALABAMA
 SHIP IS LAUNCHED Fourth Steel Steamer Also
 to Load 5000 Tons of :, ' Metal

Montgomery City, fifth of the steel ocean freighters built by the Chickasaw Shipbuilding and Car Company at Mobile, was launched at the yards yesterday at noon, ac- cording to ndvfces from Mobile. It was christened by Miss Willie Gayle of Montgomery. Several thousand persons witnessed the launching.
 Miss Gayle had as her maids Miss Frances TulIis and Miss Ma toric Allen, both of Montgomery, with Mrs. Henry Crenshaw as chaperOn. The remainder of the Montgomery party was composed of J. F. Ffgh, assistant secretary of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce; Clayton T. TuIlis, mem- Der of the state harbor commis- sion; s. F. Clark, S. A. Krieder and Miss Catherine Powell. Other men of prominence at the launch Ing from out of town were Murray Brown of Birmingham, president of the state harbor commission; IT. Park Hay, Jr, secretary-treasurer of the harbOr mission; F. G. Blair of Tuscaloosa, member of the state harbor comm issiOn, and Oth- CTS.
 The Montgomery party and members of the state harbor com mission went to the scene of the launching on the government cut ter "Messenger," as guests of Collector of Port Joseph IT. Lyons.
 motion picture was taken of the launching by Sheridan McCaul- ley for the state harbor commis- sion. The film will be used in the state harbor fund amendment cam- paign by the harbor commission.
 The Montgomery City is a vessel of 10000 tons, Al Q feet in length, wit~ fifty-foot beam. The to- tai displacement of the Montgom- cry City when loaded is 13,4OO tons.
 The next ship to be completed by the Chickasaw company Is the 'Bessemer City, which will be launched in about two months time.
 The movements of the four prede- cessors of the Montgomery City since launching has been as fol- ows:
 Chickasaw City carried 6.0O0 tons of Birmingham steel to Rotterdam.
 Birmingham City carried 6,OOO tons of Birmingham steel to Japan.
 EnsIey City carried 6,OOO tons of Birmfngha steel to Rotterdam.
 Mobile City Is changing boilers from oil to coal, preparatory to loading 5000 tons of Birmingham steel for the fnr east.

Even at the present prices of coal, the conversion would be impracticable from a financial standpoint" said Mar tin J. Lide, consulting engineer Coal would have to advance to about s40 per ton before the use of gas would be as cheap. Of course, in case of a coal famine the thing to do would be to make use of the available supply of gas or oil"
 MT. Lide stated that a heat unit of gas now costs at least four times the price of heat unit of coal There are between 120o0 and 14,0o0 British thermal units in pound of coal. Figuring that these 14,0o0 units and that coal is now worth sl0 per ton the cost of 1000 900 British thermal units would be approxi- mately 35 cents.
 The coke oven gas that is soon to be available for Birmingham has about 800 British thermal units per cubic feet Figuring the gas at 80 cents per 1000 feet, the cost of 1,0o0,Ooo heat units would be about Sl.60. In other words, a heat unit of gas would cost over four times as much as a heat unit of coal
 These figures do not take into consid- eration the fact that gas is about 60 per cent efficient, while coal is only 40 per cent efficient. This would cut down to some extent the difference in favor of coal.
 While the cost of gas is much more than that of coal. several other things may be taken into consideration in favor of gas,' continued Mir Lide. For in- stance, there is an absence of ashes. soot and smoke from a gas furnace. Gas furnaces do not require the attention that coal furnace does As a result. the expense for furnace help might be cut down"

ENORMOUSLY MADE
 STILL IS CAPTURED

As the result of a raid of federal and county officers, S. J. Capps tof Vivian is charged with violation of both state and federal prohibition laws.
 The raid was made Friday night by N. L. Pierce federal officer and Deputy Sheriffs Pope and Gilbert. They captured an ingeniously devised metal still of a +ve~tv-Rsllon capacity and a complete distillIng outfit. The still was con- structed of twentYgallon lard pail and was made to work on an oil stove.
 About three gallons of corn whisky was also found in the house.

Furnace and Roofing Company, stated that his firm was ready to make the installation of the oil or gas attachment at minutes notice. The conversion of a coal furnace for the use of gas or oil is a simple process" said MT Whee- lock. ''The cost would not vary very much for the size or shape of the fur nace Fifty dollars would cover the ex- pense of the change in most any furnace for either home or apartment house."
 Mir Wheelock was sure that gas would cost more than coal. Where a five room house used about two tons of coal per room, the cost of the fuel would be about $l00,'' he said. T am certain that the gas required for the same amount of heat would amount to at least s20o If we had natural gas that would be different proposition. I know that in some of the Pennsylvania and Ohio cities natural gas is used for home furnaces much more cheaply than coal p
 Kerosene oil would cost more than coal, in the opinion of J. C. Johnston, vice president. of the Wofford oil Com pany. However he was unable to com pare the thermal efficiency of the two fuels. MT. Johnston states that gasoline is used extensively in other states. Resi- dences usually have a tank under ground. which is filled directly from a wagon. Where the tank is under ground. air pressure is used to force the oil into the furnace Other residences. use the gravity system.
 q am interested in the possibility of crude oil for furnace use," said Mir Johnston. Crude oil can be obtained at Is to 17 cents a gallon. Although 1 do not know the number of heat units in gallon, I believe that this oil will com pare favorably with coal as to prices IF case the coal shortage becomes acute. think a full investigation ought to be made of the possibilities of crude oil ''

For many years these forests were
worked on what Is known as the roy
atty" system. That Is to say, each
year the right of Telling was put up
to tender, the would-be purchasers
offering to fell minimum number
of stems during the season and paying
for the same at fixed rate per hun
dred for each class of bamboo, the
classification being made according to
size. The large bamboo traders of
the Punjab are, however, all more or
less closely connected with one an
other. Many of them are intimately
related, and they mnde Ii their busi-
ness to insure that there was little or
no competition for the contract. Year
after year they offered the same rates
and the number of stems they agreed
to fell was never more than that for
which they already had an assured
market They were woefully lacking
in enterprise, and took no steps to
create larger market for their prod
uce. In consequence nothing APP
preaching the full possible turnout
was ever obtained from these forests
under the royalty system, and while
the more accessible portions were con
tinually overfclled, the outlying tracts
were hardly ever touched.

A wELLKNowN INSTITUTION.

Probably no institution in America
is more widely known than Doctor
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel In Buffalo.
N. Y. Although established many years
ago it is today modern sanitarium,
having all the latest facilities for the
correct diagnosis of diseases and their
successful treatment through medicine
or surgery.
1t was DIR. Pierce. its founder,
who over so years ago gave to the
world that wonderful stomach tonic
and blood purifier, Golden Medical
Discovery" and that famous nom
alcoholic medicine for women, "Fa-
vorite Prescription"
In his early professional career, DIR.
Pierce realized that every family, but
especially those who live remote from
physician, should have at hand an
instructive book that would teach them
something about First Aid, Physi-
ology, Anatomy, Hygiene; how to rec
ognize different diseases, how to care
for the sick, what to do in case of ac-
cident or sudden sickness, etc. so he
published that great book, the Medical
Adviser" an up-to-date edition of
which Gun be procured by sending 80
cents to Doctor Pierce's Invalids'
Hotel In Buffalo, N. Y.
Later, DIR. Pierce added another link
to his chain of good works by estab-
fishing bureau of correspondence to
which any one can write for medical
advice, without any expense whatever,
and If necessary, medicines especially
prepared in Doctor Pierce's Laboratory
will be sent by parcel post or express
for use at home, ut reasonable cost.
Thus those who have symptoms of dis
ease need not suffer mental agony fear
ing that they have some serious all
ment, but can have diagnosis made
free by physician of high profess
sional standing. Write TO DIR. Pierce

medical advice for any chronic disease.

more becoming than black, and an up

The hat at the left has its crown
neatly covered with bias folds and n

is made of narrow grosgrain ribbon
twisted and arranged in two loops that
look like two leaves, and ends that
