 isiness has been that of fabricating
 eel for ships.
 When Mir. Britain announced the TO-
 tion of his fabricating plant here in
 e summer of 1918 he stated that the |
 mated cost of s1,OOOOOO, was but the iginning of developments here and that | time the investment would be between oso, 900 and s20,oOo 600. ITh4 Mobile shipbuilding plant mas Irhfad cut two or three 5,o00-ton steel H ipa and has several others on the ways |hich will be launched during the present
 ar.
 / |The British order, it is understood
 slls for several ships that will require | om one to two years to build even Iith an enlarged plant. The question I obtaining supply of steel is said to
 the only obstacle in the way of acs Epting the order.
 #The Birmingham corporation obtains
 rt of it's steel from the Tennessee bal, Iron and Railroad Company, but | lly a very small part of it, as the T. l. consumes most of it's steel in it's
 vn plants at Fairfield, including the Nil mill and the fabricating plant, Tapes and sizes for the Chickasaw Ship Hiding and Car Company at Mobile be- Ug fabricated at the latter plant.

This decision was reached yeserday at a luncheon held by the committee at the Tutwiler hotel, which was presided over by A. J. Arrant, chairman.
 It was pointed out that practically every county in the state had already raised the funds for this campaign with the exception of Jefferson and that this county was more vita11y interested than any other Up to the present time $11,- GOO has been raised the majority of which was subscribed by the automo- bile dealers.
 The army of men to make this cam vass for funds has been divided in teams which have been assigned to call on various business houses, profession al men, plants and dealers of all kinds. The quota for each group of business or professional men has been named by the general committee and is as fol- LOWS.

 The highway committee of the Ma tional Automobile Chamber of Com merce has recently issued a statement opposing the bond issues in Alabama and Georgia, which they have, sent to large number of automobile deal CTS in this district.
 The bulletin states in part as follows
 Tn each case it is proposed to meet
 the entire cost from motor registration funds. Legislation of this character is l unsound because it mortgages the only source of road revenue over a period of years, leaving the state department without funds for maintenance either of
 the roads so constructed or of the sec

 Under the old law, milk could bc sold even though it's bacteria content was as high as 500, 900 per cubic centi- meter.
 Normal milk it was stated, can con- tain 500,000 bacteria that is natural to the milk and not be dangerous, but with such latitude there is room for harmful bacteria along with the kind that are not harmful
 In plain English, the question is mainly one of cleanliness. Unsteril- ized milk cans and bottles introduce bacteria that breed rapidly, quickly bringing the milk to an objectionable condition With sterilized containers and the milk kept at a low tempera- ture the condition can be kept easily within the requirements of the new ordinance.
 The date of the new ordinance talk ing effect was placed at April l5, so that the dairymen can have time to acquire what apparatus they need and get the new system gong before warm weather.

RESTORE CONFIDENCE

ssNo greater work can be done than the re-esta blishment of the merchant in the confidence of the public. Times have changed and I daresay that twenty five years ago you merchants knew prac- ticaly all of your customers, ut now you know only a small percentage of them The re establishment of the confidence of the public will do more to combat the unrest which seems to be prevalent all over the country than anything else. The country is facing a crisis, and we must stick by our country regardless Of the sacrifice necessary
 The merchants present discussed ways and means of CO., o-operating with the gov ernment in their undertaking, and MT Weatherly suggested that committee of ten be appointed to investigate prices of certain commodities, namely. four merchants handling each commodity anu six consumers, and let them look over the books of the firms handling these ar ticles and see whether or not there IS profiteering. In this way the merchants can cooperate he stated. and wlli assist in reducing the high cost of living.
 At the conclusion of the talk the mer- chants adopted a motion unanimously go- ing on record as being willing to coop crate with the government. and requested all instructions come through the local fair price board.
 Louis Pizitz made short talk, urging the merchants to let the public know Just what exorbitant prices the merchants were paving for goods and they would understand the situation better. Talks were made by F. B. Irwin, sam Blaeh and others.
 Mir Weatherly made a short talk to a number of women who gathered in the cafe of the association yesterday after noon, in the absence of Mrs. William Ogdon Wade. who was taken i'll at the TGtwiler hotel and was unable to be present He outlined the plan of the government and urged the women to buy only what is necessary and not to indulge in expensive luxuries. He suggested that a state organization be formed with or ganization in all cities and state chair man to be appointed. The women decided to undertake this plan, and it IS expected that Mrs Wade will be we'll enough to aaddress them tomorrow afternoon at a meeting to be decided on later.

PLAN SUGGESTED ID AID IN REDUCING THE
 HIGH COST OF LIVING
Local Merchants to Coop crate With Government in Solving PrOblem-Lev-
 CT Bill to Be Enforced

J. c. weatherly of the department of justice addressed a good-sized crowd last night at the Civic Association, despite the indictment weather, as a part of the governments programme to lower cost o. living. He stated that it was not now question of who was responsible for the high cost of living or what class was responsible for it, but how to get re- suits.
 "The railFoad brotherhoods approached the railroad administration in August asking for an increase in wages and giv- ing as a reason the increased cost of liv- ing" said the speaker. but they were asked to wait pending the reduction in prices by the government. The Lever bill, which was the only thing Congress lad to work on was brought out, and on October 2 it was amended so that it now has some teeth and biting power. In adopting the amendments to this bill the penalty was fixed at 5000 fine or two years in prison. or both, if anyoni was found guilty of violating the provi- sions of the bill the manufacturer as well as the retailer.
 AS a result of this campaign by the department of justice some splendid re- suits have been achieved, and on twenty of our food commodities prices have been reduced from ? to 8 per cent. This in cludes pork. beef, mutton and the com modities largely handled by the packers. The department of justice has special agents Investigating the situation from every angle, and we really expect to lower prices"
 JUDGE BY PRICE
 He spoke of the knowledge the women had of various materials in his grand mothers day, when all materials were made on the farm, and stated that they knew the materials better than the ma jority of the merchants today. They handed this&lnowledge down to their daughters iIT "a lesser degree until the present time the women have only one way to judge and that is by the price. If it is the highest price it must be the best. in their judgment, he declared.
 MT. Weatherly was introduced by c. l.. Harold, seeretary-manager of the Civic Association, and his talk was well re- tions were asked regarding the situation by those present,
 He spoke to the merchants yesterday afternoon in the directors room of the Civic Association, at which time he told of the origin of the plan of the depart ment of justice to lower the cost of liv- ing ''The retail merchants of the coun- try seem to think they have been sim gled out by the government he said, "but this is not the case, although the public has practically convicted them of profiteering. They don't know anyone e,se but the merchant from whom they buy the various commodities. You are the nearest tangible target at which the public points the finger of censure

Eight Workrnerl
Killed by Lightning

NEW ORLEANS, July 1O.--Eight
workmen at the Industrial Canal here
were killed yesterday when lightning
struck pilc-driver under which they
had taken refuge from the storm.
Several were injured. The men
who had been working on the canal
ran to shelter under a pile-driver when
an electrical storm broke. Owing to
the severity Of the storm it was near
ly half an hour before it became
known that the men had been killed.
First-aid treatmeTx was given as
soon as attendants could be rushed
from the emergency hospital main
tanned at the canal site by the Goe-
thals company, in charge of the work.
Four of the victims at first were re-
ported merely stunned, but later eff
forts to revive them proved futile.

THE NAME ROOSEVELT
ON DEMOCRATIC TICKET

1t is interesting to see the name
Roosevelt on a Presidential ticket,and
in the second place, where the name
Roosevelt originally started out to-
ward the Presidency, If Theodore
came back he might exclcim copy
cat; he certainly wouldn't like it.
Mr.. Koen;gsberg, learned chief of
a large ncws-gathering association,
says: "Dor't underestimate the
valre of Roosevalt's name on that
ticket. At least three hundred thou
sand men, living in the backwoods,
coming to town once in three months,
will vote for Frsnk.in D. Roosev.alt,
thinking tchy are voting for the orig
inal Roosevelt, not knowing that he
is dead"
That's an interesting comment on
free and independent government,
and there is truth in it. For the
deeper his ignorance, the more man
objects to information and the less
inclined he is to ask for the truth.
