 'Inasmuch as our wire appeals have brought no relief we are now arrang- ine for a delegation of Alabama com merciai coal operators to go to Wash ir gtor next week and lay this most serious situation before the interstate commerce commission n formal way, requesting:
 RESTRICT CARS That the preferential assignment or coal cars for railroad fuel loading be abolished, as this practice Is used prl- marily to depress the. price of ratiroasi i fuel coal which, in turn, necessitates an ] increased price to the general public to absorb that difference.

 After investigating the matter, Fuel Administer Garfield issued an order pro rating the cars which enabled industrial plants, public utilities in cities and do- nestle consumers to obtain, at least, parial supplies of coal
 This rule was still in effect when the railroads were returned to their owners, and it was under this rule that the Corena Coal Company two weeks ago secured an injunction writ against the Southern raAway requiring it to supply cars at the Walker county mines.

BIRDS IN COMBAT
Feathered Creatures Sometimes
Battle to the Death.
Contrary to Pretty Theory, Perfect
Peace Does Not Always Reign
Within Those little Nests"
as Sung by Poet.

"Rirds in their little nests agree"
wrote Doctor Watts. If the eminent
preacher had CHANGED to witness an
incident similar to that which l saw
the other day, says a writer in the
London Daily Mail, he would never
have penned that libel.
/ was walking across London golf
course when two sparrows shot past
my head, chattering violently, and,
coming to ground few yards away,
set to fighting so furiously that / was
actually able to pick them both up In
my hands.
I let one go at once; the other l
carried a little distance before liberat-
ing it. Will you believe it?-a mo-
ment later the two were at it again,
beak and claws.
Almost all birds fight furiously In
the springtime. Even turtle doves.
those emblems Of peace, will go for
one another in the mating season.
The various methods of offense
adopted by different birds are interest
ing. Sparrows use their powerful
beaks but hold one another with their
claws. Starlings fight in exactly SIM
liar fashion. Their combats are at
times most desperate. A friend saw
one cock starting actually kill another.
Pigeons use their wings but rarely
do one another much harm. Swans
fight with their wings, and their
strength is so great that their battles
sometimes result fatally. I have, how
ever, seen swan apparently endeav-
oring to hold the head of rival I'M
to make out what happened.
Some birds have spurs on their
wings The spur-winged goose, which
is small, long-legged bird and rath-
er resembles duck on stills, has ex-
traordinary wing power. One of these
geese went for gardener who had
gone into it's Enclosure in the 200"
and gave him a blow on the knee that
laid him up for a week. The crested
screamer has actually double spurs on
it's wings and is a very awkward Gus
toner to tackle.
All the birds of prey use their talons
as their principal weapons. The
strength which lies in the talons Of
even a small hawk is almost incred-
ible. AS for an eagle, one has been
known to drive it's claws clean through
the skull of large tomcat into the
brain, killing the animal instantly.
The pheasants are the only family
Of birds provided with spurs. Our
domestic fowls are of course, members
of this genus, and it is in. the game
fowl that the spur is developed to the
greatest perfection. These leg spurs
resemble the horns of cattle, in that
they have a bony core protected by
smooth sheath Of horn.
The guinea-fowl, again, is singular
in that it has a blunt horn upon Its
head which it uses as an offensive
weapon.
7 have never seen two herons fight
but if they did they would use their
beaks and their beaks alone. The
driving power of the long, sharp
pointed beak of heron is immense.
and when a heron Is hawked you may
see 1t endeavor to spit its smaller as
sailant upon its beak.
An ostrich farmer tells me that he
has known an ostrich to pierce sheet
Of corrugated iron with one trenend-
Gus kick.

New Clothes on an OF One.

A salesman up in gasoline row was
telling how he almost had a bit OF
good luck. "As I was coming in on
the Bluff road, the other evening, just
after dark" he said. II saw a good
tire at the side of the road. There
was not house within half-mile,
SO l stopped the car and beat 1t back
to get the tire. 1t was new one. l
could tell that as I passed 1t. But
when I got up within ten feet OF IT.,
It started to move, and over into the
field It went. Just then I heard two
boys laugh" Three of the salesman's
audience sang out, eyes, we tried to
get that same tire on the first night
in April" -Indianapolis News.
