Kansas Hearing NEXT

The rates on refined products in
Kansas are due for consideration
by the board of railroad commits
sioners OF that state, and the
chances arc that rates on gasoline
and kerosene will be boosted as
raising the rate 10 all that the va
rious state boards OF railroad COM
missioners and the interstate COM
nerce com mission as well, know
anything about.
II is said that the average family
OF five will pay 81 per day more for
their living expenses on account of
the recent raises in freight rates,
which is some boost.
The rates in Kansas were estab-
lished by the Legislature and not by
board OF railroad directors.
The legislature first passed a law,
making a low ra;c on fuel oil to
supply the industries OF the state.
with cheap fuel. The refisers had
been promised an equally low rate,
but when IL came to d show down.
they were left out of Il. and IL re-
quired three separate hearings on
three different occasions to get for
the refiners the same treatment
| that had been sccorded the shippers
| OF fuel oil
The rates were made low because
the railroads were fuuy aware that
charges brought by oil men as to
| discrimination in favor of pipe
lines, were true. They have, how
| ever stood for at least ten or / 2
years and the man with the auto

modity," said Mir. Tate, but include practically every necessity of life
 In speaking of the profiteering law of the state, MT. Tate said:
 There seems to be some confusion regarding the Efficiency of the anti profiteering law as applied to the in dividual merchant and the impression seems to be prevalent that the Ala bama laws are impotent in this class of cases unless combination or con- spiracy between two or more persons to boost prices of a commodity is shown This is a mistake and under our statute, as passed by the last legis- lature. there is ample provision made to handle individual merchants, who boost the price of a commodity beyond it's intrinsic worth as well as a com blnation of two or more to raise prices.
 Many divorces win be investigated by the grand jury al this time We have gone over all the records an1 selected a large number which we think we can handle. When organized, the county jury was specially charged to investigate the charges on which divorces were secured and where they constituted violation of the crimina ls w to indict the party or parties guilty of violating the law"
 This investigation into the com plaints will be most thorough, accord ing to the solicitor, and if charges are sustained. indictments and vigorous prosecution will follow.

Grand Jury to Deal With
 Profteers and DiUorces

Many witnesses have been summoned to appear before the Jefferson county grand jury when it reconvenes Monday morning at o'clock. according to Solicitor Joseph R. Tate.
 More witnesses have been summoned than ever before here The largest number of cases on local record ap- pear on the grand jury docket at this time.
 One of the most important matters to be investigated is profiteering. Judge William k. Fort of the criminal divi- sion of the circuit court. In his charge to the jury when it was organized sev- eral weeks ago, specifically charged them to investigate the many com plaints alleging unreasonable increases in rents for offices and homes. He stated that in many instances 1t was complained that rents on homes and offices had increased from 50 to 100 per cent There are prohibitive to the ordinary man, he said, who is already struggling to meet the necessities of life. He instructed the grand jury to indict where they could and if they could not, to make known their find~ ings to the fair price board.
 According to the complaints re- ceived. the charges of profiteering are not confined to any one class of com

 WHILE THEY FLOW
Marine Corps and Navy Meccas for Farm Boys
 Who Enlist

Of all the industries from which re- cluits to the army, navy and marine corps come, farming furnishes by far the greatest quota and is more than equal to any other two combined.
 It is in the marine corp where the greatest percentage of farm boys are found. It is estimated by the local re- their recruits come from the farming dis tricts. A big factor which brings the country boys to the marine corp banner is the neat and dressy uniforms of the
 scdiers of the sea-"
 Few of these recruits actually own land of their own, but large percentage of them live on land owned by their parents number of the men are members of large families, with several brothers and sisters back home to carry on the farm ork
 The navy shows the next largest per- centage of recruits to be sons of farm CTS, though no actual figures can be arr ved at. The natural attraction the sea has for the boys of the land Is ,ne cause of so many joining this branch of the service. The recruits seem, in the opinion of the local naval officers, to have desire to see the world. and then return to the farms.
 | The army is also made up largely of 1 farm boys, and recruiting stations secure more of this class than any other. Par ticularly are the boys attracted to the branches of the army which would seem to have the greatest amount of excite- ment. The field artillery. the air servica and the tank corps are popular with the recruits.

SOLDIERS MEDALS
 BASED ON PAPERS
Seem Diffident About En- trusting Discharge Ger
 tificates to the Mails

Efforts to have all ex-service soldiers send in their discharges and receive their victory medals will be made by the local recruiting office, it is announced by Colonel Safarrans, in charge of the recruiting in this district
 This Is to be done at the request of the war department, which, in tele- gram received at the headquarters yes- terday, asked that all efforts be made to distribute the medals as soon as pos sible.
 Colonel Safarrans says that notwith- standing the fact that the necessary clerical force to handle all applicants speedily is kept at the recruiting sta- tion, there are comparatively few ap- plications for the medals. and that there are a great many soldiers in this district who are entitled to them. This additional force, he says, will not be in Birmingham permanently, but will soon be recalled, making it necessary for the ex-soldier to obtain his medal through correspondence with Washing ton
 "Ali ex-solders should bring or send in their discharges as soon as possible, " the colonel says, flor they are liable to find delay will cost them a great deal of time and worry. If delay is on ae- count of a desire not to trust the dis charge through the mail. this station will be glad to send blanks for a copy I of the discharge to be made

operator to let the carriage run to any of five positions by merely pressing one of series of buttons.
 This is the seventh patent Mir White has taken out. and the fourth for inn provements on typewriters. All of the typewriter improvements have been pur- chased by the Underwood Typewriter Company.
 One of the other patents which this company has purchased is device that allows the operator, in making a line across the paper, to do so in half as many strokes as would be possible otherwise. This is done by throwing in shift key placed conveniently in the keyboard.
 Two other patents are improvements over these two inventions. They were both purchased by the Underwood inter- ests.
 The first patent which Mir White took out was on an improvement over the old electric flashlght. This device greatly sim plifes the care of the flashlight and adds materially to the life of the bat tery.
 The last invention on which patents are pending. is an ingenious form of a cash register where several drawers for the different clerks is desired. This invention is designed to save space, in that the entire set of drawers come out at the same place when the necessary keys are pressed, and not on the pres ent system of a separate place for each drawer.
 MT. White is working on other patents which he hopes to take out soon. He is an Auburn alumnus

TO DISCONTINUE BUILDING BOATS
 FOR GOVERNMENT

The Mobile Shipbuilding Company is completing it's contract with the gov ernment for eight steel ships. That ends it's relations with the government. but the company will probably build four steel ships of about 5000 tons capacity on private contract. says George Britain. secretary of this com pany and the Birmingham Steel Cor poration. who was in Birmingham yes terday.
 "Where contracts for building ships may not be forthcoming there will be the business of building steel steel barges and there is always room for q lot of repairing"
 MT. Britain intimated that the Mo- bile company had plenty of business in that it would remain one of Alabama's busy industries.
 About the Birmingham Steel Corpor- ation. he said that this plant was as busy as supply of steel allowed on making steel shapes for office build- lngs and other steel structures for North Carolina and there are other contracts for structures in the south eastern states.
 The Birmin gham Steel Corporation, after fabricating the steel for the ships built by the Mobile concern. went into the manufacture of structural steel for office buildings and similar enterprises and has been busy in that line ever since It's capacity of pro duction has been limited only by abil- ity to secure the raw steel
 MT. Britain said the plans of his brother for taking over ore properties at Rome, Ga. and building a steel plant somewhere in that section or not very far from there. were still in a nebulous state and that no definite announce ment could be made now.
