WESTERN UNION LOSES.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany yesterday lost its tight for an
injunction restraining the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company from
removing its telegraph lines from
the railroads right of way when the
Supreme Court refused to review the
decision OF the lower courts.
Some years ago, when the late A. J.
>Cassatt, then president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. had a quarrel with
George J. Gould. then in control Of
the Western Union, he ordered the
telegraph company's poles cut down
on the lines Of the railroad and the
poles were felled so quickly that the
telegraph company had no time to
resort to restraining order from
the court.
1t is related that e. II. Hartman
upon meeting Mr. Gould on the street,
asked him why he looked so discon-
ISOLATE, and that Gould replied that
"Cassatt has cut down the Western
Union poles and everything has gone
to hell" Never mind, George" re-
piled Hartman. you'll get it all
back again."

Chamber Of Commerce Makes Plans For NelU Fiscal Year

, chamber committees in carrying out these various projects.
 The matter of opening up ldlewild rark so that the people may use It IS also understood to be under tentative discussion. Former Mayor George Ward acquired this hundred acre tract of woodland and meadow for the pub lie use about ten years ago. but noth- ins has been done with it since
 This beautiful domain is on the i'm mediate outskirts of the city and the journey there is short one through the residence section of the city.
 The chamber will have a number Of committees whose aim will be to make Birmingham d pleasant place to live in as well as a good place for the mak Ing of money.
 MT. Bum has already so shifted the different offices of the chamber that the routine work goes on with an im- proved smoothness, and he is getting all details into line so as to produce the greatest results with the least con- fusion and loss of time.
 Among the improvements is the new reading room equipped with telephone ard table for members and their guests. It is intended to have real reading and lounging room with plentiful supply of the daily newspa- pcrs and the principal industrial and financial magazines on file.
 In the offing is a plan for large dining room, in which the various civic organizations can have their weekly luncheons and other bodies may have dinner conferences.
 General Manager Bum Is injecting ginger into every department of effort and the promise is one of fruitfulness.

The annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held June 22, eith- CT in the Southern Club or in the Tut w:ler hotel.
 On that occasion the new president, NJ. P. Northington, will be installed and will deliver his inaugural address. The retiring president, R. A. Brown, will report his administration.
 General Manager o. l.. Bum Will make a short address, in which he will outline some of the work which he thinks the chamber should do during the incoming year.
 At this meeting impetus will be given the coming reunion of the Rain Low division in July. Preliminary steps have been taken. MT. Northing- ton is general chairman and Donald Conner and Dan B. Dimick vice chair men, The chairmen of the various subcommittees have also been named and are selecting their aides.
 The most ambitious project of the new regime will probably be the in- auguration of steps to secure self owned headquarters. MT. Bum has heretofore suggested this and, as he made it "go' in Chattanooga years ago it is believed the same project could be financed in Birmingham with out cost to the membership.
 A minor project is the placing of Vulcan on top of Red Mountain in a sraall park there and making him an advertising beacon for Birmingham.
 Still another is the placing of signs on the street corners. The civic or ganization of the city will probably be asked to cooperate With special

MORE DEVELOPMENT. ORDERED FOR DAM.
Bids Opened at Florence on Four 30,000 Horsepower
 Turbines

Alabamians are beginning to look forward to the time when the Wilson dam. now being constructed at Muscle Shoals, will be actually producing hydroelectric power for the operation of Alabama industries.
 According to telegraphic advices from Florence. bids have been opened at the engineers office at Wilson Dam O.. four hydraulic turbines of 30.000 horse power each. The bids, after be- ing gone over at Florence. were for warded to the war department at Washington for final action.
 On June 15 the district engineer at Florence will open bids for four 25,000 K. V. A. capacity electric generators an6 accessories.
 The turbines will be among the largest in the country. The total ca pacity of the four will be 120.000 horse power. The Wilson Dam project calls for the eventual installation of fifteen units of 30,000 horse power each, or 450,00 horse power altogether.
 Awarding of these contracts opens up the vista of the completed dam and its hydroelectric power
 The initial installation of 120,o00 horse power will be largely in excess ps that generated at lock 12 on the Coosa, which is 90,000 horse power.

Chicago. June u.-(Special )--There is very little talk about the vice presiden- tial nominee. There are various candl- dates. Governor Sproul, if not nomi- mated for the presidency, could have the second choice, if he wanted it. Governor Morrow of Kentucky, having won easily in a normally democratic state, is man with whom the republicans like to conjure. And there is young editor named Adams from Virginia. He is kin to the famous Adams family and his wife is a relative of General Robert E.. Lee. Southern delegates are plugging for a southern man for the vice presl- dency. But no one knows anything

 It is said that Chicago Is infested. But newspaper men know nothing of the truth of this report. They are immune.

HOW TO SELECT MEAT

The big problem in many womens mar keting is selecting meat. When the home-manager spends so much of her food apportionment for meat a study of the various cuts and their uses proves of great value. It is true, not everyone has a large meat chart, but everyone can study the cuts in market if they are really desirous of learning how to buy wisely.
 When going to the market to select meat, see that it is:
 Firm to the touch. and elastic. 2-Streaked or marbied with fat, so that 1t will be juicy.
 3-Bright in color
 4-Meat should smell fresh.
 5-Government inspected Qook for the stamp.
 6-Meat should be cut across the grain. Beef is bright red in color; veal is pink

and somewhat less firm than beef; pork is dark pink, and the fat is less firm than that of either beef or mutton. Pork should cut easily and have a good layer of pure white fat.
 When meat has been taken from ths cooler in the wholesale market, the mer- chant who has purchased it keeps It in the ice box of his retail market; then when it reaches the home it should De unwrapped, put on a plate and placed Tn a very cold part of the ice box.
