SHAMROCK " IS
. READY To MEET
/ REsOLUTE TODAY
Challenger and Defender viii
Contest Again For Amer
iCa's Cup; Both Yachts in
First Class Shape.


Sandy Hook, n. j. July "a
Shamrock " slipped out Of dry
dock tonight and is ready to race
again tomorrow for the Americas
cup.
Meanwhile, the crew of Resolute,
American defender, made things
shipshape aboard their craft and
also are prepared to give battle.
With the tally now standing TO
/ in favor of the challenger, the
American sloop must now win the
next contest if the hundred guinea
cup, palueless trophy, is not to
travel back overseas in custody OF
the Royal Ulster Yacht club.
Shamrock arrived at Staten Is
land shipyard early today under
tow, and was at once put on the
ways in order that her underbody
might be scraped. 1t was the be-
lief of her crew that she had col
lected oil on her sleek sides since
she left drydock about week ago,
but when she was slid back into
the water this afternoon this fear
was pronounced groundless. Not a
barnacle and scarcely a streak of oil
had been found.
Rcsoiute's Crew Busy.
While Capt. Charles Francis Adj
ans, III, did not order Resolute put
in drydock for another inspection,
he gave his crew little rest as the
great white sloop lay anchored in
The shelter of the Hook. Sails were
gone over, compaSses tested and
last touches given the racer.
1t was admitted at the Staten
Island shipyart that Shamrock had
sustained slight injury during yes
terday's race. According TO yacht
officials. two rivets were broken
as result of the strain on the
boom and it was found necessary
today to replace brace under the
after deck.
Ii was denied at the yard, how
eyer, that the challenger had slight
~ sprung her deck during the
thrash TO windward. Before Sham
rock left tonight for Sandy Hook,
Seamen aboard here observed
working on the top spar ring. AL
though shipyard officials protested
ignorance of what work was being
done aloft, the belief was held here
tonight that the old topmast had
been re-stepped, in order 10 do
away with the challengers big top
sail which forces her TO give Reso-
lutte a time allowance of minutes
and ] second, instead of minutes
and 40 seconds.

City Is HonOred

Birmingham has been honored in the selection of J. Mercer Barnett as president of International Kiwanis," :" says H. J. Arrant and I don't think a better man could be found for that job than MT. Barnett.
 The new president of International Kiwanis is widely known in Birming ham. Much interest was manifested in the election of officers at the con vention when it was learned that the Birmingham delegation was going to nominate him. He was unanimously elected and this fact is only another tribute paid the ability of this man.
 For two years he served the local club as president and it was largely through his efforts that the Inter national Kiwanis convention of 1919 was held in this city
 For the past year he has been first vice president of the organization and the members of the local Kiwanis Club as well as the other clubs of the city are indeed glad of the honor be- slowed on Mercer Barnett"

His SS.OOO Leg

A friend met Leo Loeb on the street recently and asked him how his eight thousand dollar leg" was faring. An- otker party stepped up and inquired of this strange question. MT. Loeb said:
 There is nothing strange about it.. A number of years ago I had great deal of trouble with one of my legs. consulted expert after expert, from the fellow who charges you $1O a look to him who won't look for less than $1O0. I got no results.
 "On a trip to Europe I happened to come across a. specialist who diagnosed the trouble at first glance. He took me in charge and the leg was soon as good as anyones.
 Probably it was my joy that made me a trifle careless. At any rate, just after I reached home again with the cured leg, I fell and broke it. That caused lot more trouble and expense. When it was all over, I footed it up and calculated that, coming and going, that leg had cost me $s.ooo. But it was worth it."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Cotton Prices

Cotton Prices
 So much is being said and written about the high cost of living" said F. V. Evins. that some reference to pres ent 40-cent cotton may prove of in- terest to us down-south folk.
 History of the staple shows that from 1925 to 1882, when the price was from 51 to 92 cents a pound, the highest price was 22 cents. in 1881, and the low est was 21z cents, in 1S45. The high figures were reached in the war years, from 1884 to 1S67 as follows:
 1864. highest, 1S9; lowest. 6s.
 1862, highest, 1S2; lowest, S5.
 1866, highest. 50; lowest 32. 5s.
 1867, highest, AZ; lowest, 26h.
 Prices then ranged up to 1870 from 10 to 20 cents, when the price dropped to sA to 13Ac jumping in 1850 to 1oc. In 1898 1t fell to 5c.
 "In 1904 the price was 1sAc; then holding at 10, II, 12 and 13c until 1910, when it went up to 19c, to fall back to Ice in 1911. From 1912 to 1916 it kept at from 10 to IA cents.
 "The 5-cent years were, 1842, 1S45 (average), 1895, and 1898. The highest price in other than war years was in 1872. when it was 26 cents, and 1873, when it was P cents. At no other time did the price go over 20 cents.
 And here in 1920 the price is 40 cents.
 When cotton was selling at cents the pound good mule could be bought for $100. or four bales, say. With cot ten selling at 40 cents, good mules are selling at $400 now.
 Tt Is a singular fact that the price of cotton and the price of meat travel together. When cotton was 5 cents. meat was cents. Today, with cotton at 40 cents a pound, meat is worth a pound of cotton, as in the old times.''

This dog catching business is not what it's cracked up to be-" says E.. L. Stone, who has charge of the citys dog wagons.
 Its bad enough to have to catch the little fellows and the big chummy looking dogs that look as if they could almost speak to you, but when it comes to point where a dog comes between you and your friends think it's time to stop.
 Every friend I ever had seems to own dog this summer and each one of them wants me to pass his dog up. I must do my duty and catch all the dogs without license. and yet l want also to retain my friends. But next year will be back on the police force and this dog wagon job can go to somebody else"

IHANEZ. REPORTER

From the Kansas City Times.
 The man who saw the apocalyptic horses sweeping above the battle fields of Europe and visualized the wonders of the deep from a trip through the Naples aquarium sat in tho reporters box at Chicago, viewed the heterogeneous human particles that tried to translate his impressions to an American public. It was a strange spectacle to this son of old Spain. With the novelist's eye for color and detail, gible to his companions in the box. A woman's fur among the delegates, the uDrolled sleeves of the newspaper men, the fluttering fans in the galleries, the rantomime of the cheer leaders, the snow of parti-colored Wood feathers, the pretty and chic Hoover women who iove a silent man, the slim white hand of a woman orator. the red faces of the mysterious floor runners and up aloft, the glacial bored Lodge, marking time with his hammer. The retrospec- tive Ibanez dreamed. Where had he seen all this before?
 Then some one was placed in nom ination and the dikes of pandemonium were opened and madness reigned for a half hour, during which men and women cut strange corybantic capers Another speech was let loose and fresh internal dikes were opened. And then another. each succeeding scene swell ing higher the wabes of beloved en- thusiasm and making confusion worse ccnfounded.
 An, it comes to Ibanez now. This President making in America-he knows now what it reminds him of. It is the bull fight of dear old Spain.

Wise Solution of
 City's Gas Problem

TTHE Birmingham gas problem U seems headed to early and sat- isfactory solution.
 By-product gas at eighty-eig cents and four hundred and eighty seven thermal units is a sound sub- stitute, in the emergency at least, for the present domestic gas supply of five hundred and seventy five ther- nal units at $1.
 If one must burn 10 per cent more of the by-product gas to produce the same amount of heat, he still pays no more for the present gas. On the other hand, the superior efficiency of by-product gas is unquestioned. Its regularity and uniformity of flow will be joy to the housewife who has suffered from the unequal and spo- radio flow of the other.
 Had Birmingham acted on this question in 1914, when opportunity was first offered, more advantage ous contract would have been secured, because by-product gas production then was at half the present cost.
 The Tennessee company's attitude in being willing to sell more of it's self f-needed gas to the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company is that of sound business principles; helping a community in which it has large interests.
 If the Sloss-Sheffield surplus sup ply, not at present needed by that company, is not available now by req son of cost in distribution, the city and the utility concern in three years of an emergency contract, will have ample opportunity to arrange for a permanent supply.
 But we need by-product gas now. A fair proposition has been made. The city should act promptly in as suring the people gas supply after August 1.
