Wheat Damage Scare
Keeps Prices Strong

Reports of the prevalence of black
rust in the Northwestern spring
wheat fields were of more persistent
character and it seems to be now
pretty we'll established that black rust
exists in different Stages of advance
ment throughout quite a large area
in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Whether
or not it will spread and cause seri-
GUS crop damage is not yet apparent,
but 1t is believed by experts that this
will depend largely on weather con-
ditions during the next few weeks.
The appearance Of rust has caused
a widespread feeling Of alarm over the
safety Of the spring wheat crop and
prices in the cash markets yesterday
said that the advance had checked the
export demand from Europe, but ship
pers were in the market trying to
make purchases and it was thought
that they were short on their contract
with Europe.
Offers from the interior were again
Of small proportions despite the fact
that this years carryover from the
old crop was placed at 161, 100000
harvested rapidly throughout the win
ter wheat belt.
transportation conditions were not
materially improved and many believe
that prices will be dominated to
large extent by the car supply. The
visible supply showed decrease for
the week Of 1,417,00 bushels and the
total. was 1S,382,00o, compared with
100000 year ago.

STATE WATERWAYS WONDERFUL ASSET
Need of Adequate Facilities at Port of Mobile Is Ex-
 plained to Civilians

w D. Nesbitt, president of the Port of Birmingham Company, explained the need for adequate terminal facilities at Mobile before the Civitan Cdlub yesterday. The club heartily endorsed the project to issue bonds, with state aid, and build the facilities under state supervision. Arthur Crowder. Harry Halfacre and E. B. Irwin were appointed as a com mittee to act for the club in boosting the propositiolfs
 Mir Nesbitt told of the wonderful sys- tenn of waterways which Alabama has Everyone of these rivers open at Mobile, which Is truly the gateway" of Ala- bama. "It does not matter how much we improve our waterways, build dams and place barge lines on our rivers" he said "the final success is dependent on the facilities for handling traffic at the port at Mobile.''
 This is not local thing, nor is it even local to Alabama It involves prac- tically all of the south. though Alabama will reap the chief benefits"
 MT. Nesbitt explained series of twcn- ty-nine charts, which were prepared, showing what the development of Ala bama's waterways abd the establishment of adequate terminal facilities at Mobile will mean.
 The chart explained Aiabamas won- derful waterway system. comprising the greatest length of navigable streams in any state in the union. He explained the need for facilities at Mobile, which would bring to Alabamas seaport a wealth Of trade because of it's advan- tageous situation.
 He explained what other states were doing in that line. Louisiana has au- thorized, by the people of the state, to use it's credit 70 the extent of s27 ,0Co. 900 to build up New Orleans to the second port in the world. New Orleans has the largest cotton warehouse in the world. and the second largest grain elevators. It-has five miles of public wharves. All these improvements are not costing the people one cent. but surplus beyond the interest on the bonds to create a sinking fund to retire the bonds is being earned

MISS HELEN HUDSON
 DIES IN CINCINNATI

Miss Helen s. Hudson. for a number of years teacher of mathematics in the Gen. tral High School and for nearly thirty years connected with the public schools of Birmingham as teacher died yester- day afternoon in Cincinnati while visit ing relatives there. She became seriously il! about ten days ago, and several mem bers of the family hurried to her bed side and were with her at the end.
 Members of the family will return to- day from Cincinnati. and funeral ar arrangements will be announced at that time
 The deceased is survived by three sis ters, all of Birmingham, Mrs. J. L. Bar ker Mrs. T. T. Frerson and Mrs. w. D. Robinson.
 News of Miss Hudson's death will come as a shock to thousands of friends in Birmingham. particularly the young people who attended the schools where she was teacher. She began her teach- ing work at Powell School nearly thirty years ago, later going to Henley Sch ool. and at the time of her death was teacher of mathematics in the high school
 Dr. c. A. Brown. principal of the hgh school, said last night: Miss Hudson < oeath will he a great loss to the efficient teaching staff of Central High School and to the educational i~'"-ests of ths city

Though l have been out of the paw

 MT. Sibley. T always take a deep in-
 terest in the same. and would especially
 like to see my own city county and
 state get the most permanent and
 serviceable types of streets and roads.
 "Thore is great force and truth in
 the points brought out by the gentle
 men interviewed in yesterdays Age
 Herald, but it seems to me that no
 one touched on the real fundamental
 reason for the failure of Brming gham's s
 paving: the lack of proper mainten- ance and repair of these more or less costly pavements. We construct high priced pavements. under most exacting specifications though, as Engineer Kendrick says. there has been very lax supervision and inspection on many of them, notwithstanding large sums | have been assessed against abutting property owners for such supervision and inspection) among which is a pro vision that no traffic will be permitted c m the new pavement until two to three weeks have elapsed since it's comple . ton. Then the custom has been to all low anyone to cut into the new paving

 manner and let the traffic on it fre-

quently in twenty-four hours. Of course a failure in the patch follows and that has tendency to impair the strength and durability of the con- tiguous surface.
 Montgomery has many miles of Davements that have been in service for twenty-five years, which are today in very good, useable condition. not withstanding the very heavy wear from animal and wagon traffic haul ing cotton and other agricultural products.
 .sOne big reason of this is due to
 the fact that nlI property owners
 were compelled to put in all gas,
 water and sewer connections be-
 fore the pavement was laid and there has been very little disturb ance cutting of the original sur face and foundnt tion. cleveland O.. maintains a special engineering department to supervise all maintenance and repairs of pave ments and all replacements are made | by same under the same rigid speeFfi s l cations sand inspections applying to original contracts
 Tt would certainly be the fair thiT.g for Birmingham to adopt a similar programme, inasmuch as the entire cost of these pavements are assessed 10 the abutting property owner and the city will sell the property unless the bills are paid"
