7ADOBE' ID SOLVE HOUSING PROBLEM Bricks of Mud and Straw to Reduce Cost of Building
 Material

Birmingham will in future resemble and plans being made by the William l.. White Company materialize.
 This company has been trying out riud and clay as building material and have met with considerable success in that line.
 These adobe" houses are construct e1 of blocks made from mud with a clay base, thoroughly mixed and worked
 with straw. This material is then
 molded into block 4x10x16 inches, and
 baked in the sun,
 Houses constructed of this material
 experiments show, are practically ever' lasting, withstand the rain and winds
 and are absolutely fireproof. Experiments with houses of this kind
 ia California and other states have proven to be a success in every way They are now being used extensively in Mexico, south America, spain. Al g CTS and other countries, as well as in the western part of this country Plans are under way in the engi- peering department of the William l. White Company for the construction of special machinery for the moldine of the blocks
 MT White says: Realizing that the housing problem is one of the greatest problems which the world faces today
 our company has been doing some re- search work to help solve the problem Tke cost of building material is exces- sive and in many cases the quality is Geteriorated. The supply is such that we are hampered in our building oper- ations.
 | Ixf&a E.. the key to the problem if it is pursued properly. The idea. likely to be ridi- euled at first glance, has proven effec- tive all through history, and is now possible of adoption in almost every community in this country"

STEEL CONTAINERS
 SOLVE PROBLEM Perishable Freight Shipped Upstream on Warrior In Big Containers

Work on 200 large steel containers to carry upstream perishable freight on the Warrior river is being rushed. it was learned here today from tele- gram from New Orleans, where the containers are being constructed. The ould be ready for use in the next month.
 These containers are being built to solve the problem of shipping upstream perishable freight on the flat boats on the Warrior river. In the work of the Birmingham Port Company, it was found that the majority of the freight going down to the ports were coal lumber, or other articles that were not injured by weather and necessitated the use of an open flat boat.
 The upstream traffic. however, was il. a large part foodstuffs and material that would become injured by the weather and for which covering must be provided.
 The problem was solved by the con struction of several steel containers which were loaded with the perishable freight at Mobile or New Orleans and placed on the boat. Upon being emptied up the river, the containers were placed on flat car and shipped back by rail. They are of such size that four will fit flat car.
 About twenty of these containers han md ora in httf are found to be inadequate to fill the demand.
 Two hundred more are under con stiuction at New Orleans, and accord. ing to the telegram received yesterday. aIe being speeded up for early delivery.

DECISION EXPECTED
 IN COMMISSION CASE
Supreme Court to Pass on County Improvement Bond
 Matter Tomorrow

Tine Alabama supreme court is ex- pected to hand down it's decision on the mandamus proceedings brought several weeks ago by the board of revenue in an effort to compel NJ V Henry, count ;. treasurer, to sign warrants for s5O,NO brokers commission for the sale of s500- co0 worth of county improvement bonds tomorrow. This information was given out by W. K. Terry, county attorney and members of the board of reVenue yester- day.
 Seteral weeks ago these proceedings weres filed in the circuit court following the, refusal of Mir Henry to sign the warrant which, he claimed he had no authority to do for such purpose. The contention of the treasurer was upheld in hearing before Judge Dan A. Greene of the circuit court, and the matter was al pealed to the supreme court.
 The mandamus proceedings grew out of an effort of the county to sell $500, ,009 worth of county improvement bonds orls- inaliy sold to the Alabama Bond Com pary. It was claimed that in paying a brokers commission of 10 per cent, or $56,00o the bonds were sold below par, which is in violation of the state law. Under the ruling of the lower court this could not be done and the decision of the supreme court in this matter is be- ing looked forward to with more than usual interest.
 The proceeds of the sale of the bonds was desired by the board of revenue to tide the county over q temporary deficit of about $500. GOO, and to take care of rum ming expenses on contracts of road con strIction awarded by the board in April This action was taken by the board on the expectation that the s2,oo0oo0 worth 1c -ntrld h disposed of by the Alabama Bond Com pany according to the contract of pur- chase, and that money for their pur' chase would be available to take care of current expenses for the carrying on of the construction contracts awarded

New York, July 16.-The four
army service planes which started
yesterday from Mitchell field, Long
Island, on the first leg Of their. 1900
mile flight to Nome. Alaska, are De
Haviland 4-B machines. This type is
an improvement Of the De Haviland

continental flight Of last year.
The expedition was started on its
historic flight by Brig. Gen. WILLIAM
Mitchell, director of the army air SER
vice operations, who came here yes
terday from Washington to give the

Capt. Sterrett was handed messages
Of congratulations to the explorer
Roald Amundsen, who is expected to
arrive in Nome early in August by
way of the northeast passage thru
Artic ice. Upon his arrival at Nome,
Amundsen will have circumnavigated
the globe north of 63 degrees.
On reaching Nome, the expedition
will make a 100-mile flight to Cape
Prince of Wales, at which point it
will be approximately fifty miles from

The Alaskan flight, in the opinion
of Colonel Moos, commanding officer
of army flying fields on Long Is
