FOR SUCCESS WITH POULTRY
Good Stock 10 First Fundamental fe'
Best Results on Farm-oual-
Purpose Breeds Best.

The first fundamental of successful
farm poultry keeping Is good stock.
OF course, 1t is well known that farm,
ers may at times get fairly good re,
suits from ordinary stock, but at the
same time ii must /, be remembered
that with the same care and attention
better results will be obtained from
good stock. BY good stock is not
necessarily meant stock which has
been hred for exhibition purposes. It
means standardized stock. which by
virtue Of its pure breeding has been
Systematically developed and which Is
better fitted therefore to give the re-
suits expected of it and to yield a
more uniform and more desirable
product

WATER PRESSURE
 GOOD DURING FIRE
Records Show Normal of so Pounds Maintained
 Throughout the Test

All through the fire of last Thursday afternoon, when the fve-story furniture store of the Rhodes-Carrol Furniture Company was destroyed the Birmingham WaterworlSs Company maintained full pressure in the water mains.
 I-ne records of the gauges in the otfica of the fire chief and of the waAerworlSs company tally.
 In the winter of l9l4-t5 the waterworks company laid a twelve-inch main on sec ond avenue. in addition to the existing eight-inch main, foresseing the possibtl- ity of fire trouble in the downtown sec ton.
 Thursday both mains were worked through almost every available plug In the vicinity of the fire. Normal pres sure in the mains is eighty pounds to the square inch. Thursday. because it was cold and not much water was being util- ized, the pressure was clghty-two. Dur ing the fire this was reduced to the nor mal eighty. At night normal pressure IS eighty-siX.
 The dial in Fire Chief Middletons of fee registered eighty pounds throughout the fire. The dial at the waterworks of fee, nearer to the scene of the fire. reg istered a continuous pressure of seventy nine pounds. the pound difference being due to the lesser amount of friction and the freer draft of water,
 Chief Middleton and City Engineer Ken- dricS congratulated H. H. Horner, super intendent of the watcrworks company. on the splendid service rendered during a trying time.

JIMMY MURPHY WINS TIGERS WCTORIOUS
 LOS ANGELES RACE OVER CLuBQUNTE7
Hahn and Barks Prove the UndOing of Local Team.
 Mike SotOck Stars

Splendid teamwork on the part of the Tiger players defended the standards of Auburn last night when the local athletic club basketball team fell to defeat be- fore the Colegians, D to % It was nc easy task for the Tigers to win, for the Glubbers fought fiercely throughout the contest
 The two Hubs, Hahn and Barks formed mighty offensive pair and the effectiveness of the work of these two rushing forwards can be best explained by glance at the score book. BarSs thalked up six field goals for Auburn while Hahn came next with five. Twenty two of Auburn's points were scored by Hahn and Rarks.
 Slope played wonderful game at guard. When the big football tackle came charging down the court the B, A. C. forwards were stopped in their tracks. Slone was one of the bright stars of the game
 Although defeated, the Clubbers gave a splendid account of themselves. Capt. Tommy McGowaa and Mike Sotocll fought hard and desperately but their efforts went for naught
 Sotock was easily the star of the B. A. C. outfit. The little forward was deadly on the long shots. and shoE three perfect field goals from the center of the court Sotock was good on the defensive also. He covered his man we'll. and bucked against his larger opponents with con- siderable effectiveness
 O. R. Newman, recruit from Howard College, was unable to do much last night. The star center was watched by the Auburn players, and had very few opportunities to show his real ability Afford Another Bulldog player, played well al guard during the time that he was in the game.
 The line-upe and number of points scored by each player follow:
 Auburn (25) Hahn 00 and Barks 702) forwards; Lacey, center; Slone C2l and Wade CD. guards.
 B. A. C. (20l-McGowan @ and Sotock @), forwards; Newman. center; Laugh linhouse and Gillian. guards. Substitu- tions-Balter for Newman Chisholm for Gillian, Afford for Chisholm

 Ira Vail. who came in second. captured 5000 prize money and Joe Thomas, the third man. won 5000. The newspaper scorers all had Thomas in ahead of Vail but the official timing device gave the latter shade the better of it, about seven seconds.
 No serious accidents marred the race A thrill was sent through the stands when Art Klein and his mechanician slsidded on the end turn of the big oval after front wheel had dished The car rocked and boupced along, throwing both of them clear, and finally stopped No other drivers were near and neither man was hurt Both walked back to the pits, passing two ambulances and staff of doctors that had started on a run for the spot when the crash took place.
