STANDS ON PLANE
 TOLOOP THE LOOP
Jersey" Ringel to Be Seen at State Fair With
 Billy" Brock

Jersey Ringers flying circus, which IS one of the big attractions for the Alabama State Fair, includes two of the best known army pilots of this country, "BiIly' Brock and Jimmy" Faulkner.
 Although themselves denied the pleasure of going overseas and testing planes and wits with some of the Boche aces, they had the pleasure of playing a big part in aviation science on this side. They were both stationed at Park Fled, near Memphis.-/
 Brock was the final test pilot in the, Gosrort Instruction School, and had more to say regarding the fitness of the ships than any man at Park Field. There were very few serious accidents On .bat field due to inferior planes.
 Jimmy" Faulkner was flying in structor with the rank of first lieu tenant. He was one of the early vol unteers for aviation, and proved suca an excellent flyer that he was detailed for instruction work. on this. side, all though he repeatedly asked for orders overseas He spent many months at Park Field and has a host of friends i in this section of the south.
 Kingel was denied admission to the army because of a slight deformity i I his right foot. That did not prevent kim from getting in an aviation camp as c.villan, and throughout the en- tire duration of the war he was with the army, although never a member of it.
 In addition to changing from one plane to another, Ringe loops the loop while standing on the top wing of a plane-a feat never attempted by any ether man He does all the aerial aero battles ard tricks accomplished by all the other famous stunt flyers, and has many new creations of his own.
 This does not comprise the entire progra mme of the big circus, however, [ for Pilots Brock and Faulkner give wonderful exhibition of trick and fancy flying, showing many of the army maneuvers which attracted att tention on both sides of the Atlantic, both during the war and after the armistice was signed.

 Car Situation Is
 Arousing Shippers

In the names of ID. IT. Brown and Company, Adams. Rowe and Nor man, coal brokers. and others. the Birmingham traffic bureau has en- tered appeal to the interstate conn., mcrcc commission for adjustment of discrimiuntions in the matter of recor signment of cars loaded with coal.
 Northern shippers, it appears, are allowed to recOnsign cars by pay ent of 2 fee of $5, but the through rate is not iUtcrfcred with. On the other hand, where this reconsign- ment of fee of $5, but the through local rates plus the S5 per car are charged. The through rate is. of course InurI, lower than the two local rates.
 The appeal is for an adjustment of this discrimination and to place the south on a parity with other sections in the matter of recon- sigumcnt.

STEAL SUPPLIES
 OF THE STARVING Near East Relief Staff Finds $1O,0OO Leak and Will
 Prosecute

Denial that the alleged theft of supplies by relief workers in the Constantinople area has reached any such total as re- ported, is contained in a state ment issued by H. c. Jaquith, assistant general secretary of the Near East Relief.
 Colonel Coombs has cabled us that the loss does not represent monetary loss in excess of S15.000," Mr. Jaquth said. "Of this sum Colonel Coombs ex- poets to recover more than $1o,00o.
 If this occurrence shows one thing. it proves that funds and supplies are handled as efficiently as possible by the Near East relief. It was through an elaborate system of checking that the loss was discovered by Colonel Coombs. who immediately ordered the arrest of the five men. Had political conditions been less unsettled, the theft could never had occurred.
 This is the first time in the two years that the Near East relief has been organized that any loss through the dishonesty of it's personnel has occurred. E. c. Miller, treasurer of our organiza tion, has just returned from an extensive trip of inspection throughout the wide area in which we are operating With an auditor from this office he has made a rigid investi- gation of the books of all workers charged with the handling of funds and supplies. These books he found to be in excellent condition.
 This unfortunate affair I am sure can never happen again. The Near East relief intends to prosecute the five men to the limit and will demand that. if found guilty. they receive the maximum penalty"

MISSISSIPPI MAN
 GIVES HIS OPIONION

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 What is the matter with Alabama2 Mississippi is anxious to know if the good people in your state are standing idly around permitting good and honest hard-working people to be heckled. clubbed, shot to death and blown to bits with dynamite, making no effort to protect them. Where are your courts. Have you no laws gov erning vagrants? Protect honest labor at aH hazards. If Bittner-Kennemer- Huddleston and Company has Alabama by the tail with down-hill pull. to H-ll with the whole of it. We can only play the game safe by giving the once proud old state wide berth.
 Yours trurly.

NEW SkySCRAPER FOR LOCAL BANK,
 II IS REPORTED
Birmingham Trust and Savings Company Said to Be Dis CaSsing Erecting Office Building on Present
 Location

T would rather not talk about it un- til there is something definite to speak about" said Arthur w. Smith, president of the Birmingham Trust and Savings Company, when asked over the telephone last night to confirm the report in real estate circles that the Birmingham Trust and Savings Company was going to erect a bank and office building on it's present site.
 The report is to the(effect that, pend- ing the building of the larger structure, the institution will occupy the Ledger building on the corner of First avenue and Twenty-first street.
 Col. Tom o. Smith, vice president of the bank, was also disinclined to talk about the project, although not enter ing a denial that it was contemplated.
 The Ledger building is controlled by the Earle interests, and the Earle inter- ests are, in turn, closely identified with the Birmingham Trust.
 Colonel Smith admitted that the mat ter had been under more or less consid- eration for some time, but he would not say to what point this consideration had arrived.
 The Birmingham Trust has grown with marked rapidity and is now one of the largest banking institutions in the south. It has deposits of nearly Sl5,- 0000 600 and is reckoned among the very strongest of southern financial concerns.
 The Birmingham Trust has practically overgrown it's recent quarters. This is evident to any person who makes cas- ual observance of the large amount or business transacted there and the space allotted for it's transactions. That the Birmingham Trust is planning a larger building providing it with room better suited to it's requirements will occasion no surprise by those at all familiar with ifs growth and the extent of it's business
 The Birmingham Trust has kept pace with Birmingham and grown like BIT mingham has. It is paying the penalty of growth by being forced to secure larger and more commodious quarters
