 Work on the new swimming pool at Ensley will be started Monday or Tues day. it is stated by J. Ellis Brown. city commissioner.
 Contracts for the construction of the pool and surrounding building have been signed, and work will be started imm mediately in order that the benefit of the swimming pool may be had be- fore the summer is over. It is ex- pected that the pool will be ready for use within the next six weeks.
 The pool will be located on Avenue I, between Twenty ninth and Thirtieth streets, Ensley. The plans include a large U-shaped building surrounding the pool, which will be in the open air. There will be two pools, each BOX 100 feet, of depth varying from : to S1s feet.

CAMP WINNATASKA'S
 SPACE AT PREMIUM

Camping at Lake Winnataska has be- come so popular that the Birmingham Sunday School Association finds that the summer is too short to have all the camps desired by the boys and girls.

 Knowing the needs of the people of Ensley in this line. MT. Brown con- ceived the idea of constructing the pool last winter. Also being acquainted with the financial condition of the city, which would not permit the cost of construction, he made all efforts to in- terest some large corporations in the matter. ea Nss
 He succeeded in getting the support of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail- road Company, who agreed to contrib ute $25,000 toward the cost of con- struction, provided the city constructed and maintained the pool and that it was constructed along strictly sani- tary lines.
 The engineers of the company drew the plans and donated them to the city free of charge.

A MODERN MIRACLE WORKER
HAS FOUNDED A NEW INDUSTRY
Out of His Researches Grew the Successful Production OF rigs
and Dates in America. Transplantng Egyptian Cotton

One of the hundred romances'
to be found within the red and gra!
walls of the department of agrlcul
ture pertain to the strange adven
lures and wonderful achievements OF
Walter Tennyson Swingle.
This unknown man, writes james
B. Morrow, a Washington CORES
pondent, searched the Sahara deserts
and brought on the backs OF camelS
to the African coast the palms from
which were developed the flourishlng
date industry of the United States
Finer dates are produced In Arlzo'
ma than anywhere else in the world
The growing of figs in this coun-
trv-there is a single field in Cali
fornia of 10000 acres-was made
possible by the genius and enthu-
siasm of DR.. Swingle, to which per-
sonal qualities must be added reso-
lutte industry and rare self sacrifice.
And the wonderful story of Egyp-
tan cotton as an American crop
could not be told were he left out
Ninety-two thousand acres of this
cotton were planted last year. The
revenue received totaled more than
$20,0OO,0OO
The bureau of agriculture, estab-
hshed in 1862, became the depart
ment of agriculture, with a secretary
who was a member of the cabinet,
in February. 1889. Dr. Swingle, now
but 40. has been attached to the de-
partment since 1891. He had grad
vated at the Kansas state agricul-
tural college at the age of 10 and,
as assistant botanist at the state ag-
ricultural experiment station, had
Investigated the diseases of wheat.
No one man, Dr. Swingle says,
can accomplish anything. Results
are obtained, he holds, only when
scientists, each a specialist, work in
union. He calls in the case of Egyp-
tan cotton to prove his argument.
Here five men, toiling side by side,
each dependent on the other, brought
about one of the most wonderful
achievements known to the history
of agriculture
In Italy he began to investigate
the marvellous and complicated art
of growing figs.
The blossom of the female fig is
pollenized by an insect that looks like
a wasp, which issues from the small
hard skinned fruit of the male fig,
When it issues, the insect is covered
with pollen. Going into the young
fruit of the female fig at the apex,
and often losing its wings by the
procedure, it finds no suitable place
in which to deposit its eggs. Pol
lenization occurs, however, when it
enters the young fig.

They Became Americanized.

Five unsuccessful attempts were
made to introduce the insect into
this country. The sixth was under
taken by DR.. Swingle in the spring
of 1898. Male figs containing the
insects were sent to Washington and
forwarded at once to California.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1920-05-18

1.-THE insects came out" DR.. SWlngle
to Algiers, 300 miles distant.
"In Algiers the offshoots, wrap
ped in moss, were packed in boxes
SAYS, "but failed to establish them
selves"
/ The last attempt, and it was sue
cessful, was made by DR.. Swlngle IN
March, 1899. He sent a number OF
male figs wrapped in tin foil and
packed in a new way, from Alglers'
The insects entered the buds of male
trees growing in California and, as
DIR. Swingle said, established them
selves permanently in the United
States"
Last year $4,000 acres of fig trees
were planted in this country. so
began a new American industry that
promises to grow steadily for all Tune
to come.
1t was while carrying on his lnVes-
tigation of figs that DR.. Swlngle
turned his attention to the date palm.
He went to Algeria, in northern Atrl-
ca, and into the desert of Sahara.
Oates have been grown for 1000
years along the Euphrates river,
DIR. Swingle said to the writer: Car
avian routes were established through
the African and Arabian deserts for
the transportation of dates to ports
on the Mediterranean, where they
are exchanged for barley and wheat.
"The dates are shipped to Europe
and America. | visited several GASES
in the desert during the winter OF
1898 and made arrangements for the
shipping of a number of offshoots,
or suckers, during the following year.
The date palm has no bark and can
not be grated and is propagated
either by seed or by offshoots.
Suckers, or offshoots, grow from
the base of the young palms and
weigh from ten to thirty pounds The
practice had been to plant the off
shoots in tubs of sand. A ship cap
tain told men that each tub would
be counted as a ton, because of the
space that it would fill, and as the
rate of freight to New York was 40
shillings ton / saw that some other
method of packing would be neces-
sary.

UNIVERSAL ARMY
PLAN UP TODAY.
Kahn Supporters May Delay
Organization Bill by Re-
newing Fight.

The fight for universal military
training will be renewed in the
House Military Affairs Committee
today when the army reorganiza-
tion bill will be taken up for final
consideration.
During the absence of Chairman
Julius Kahn. a subcommittee. head
ed by Representative Anthony. of
Kansas. completed a draft of the
reorganization bill which made no
provision fer universal training
Anthony announced that this ques-
tion would be considered sepa-
rately.
Since his return to Washington,
after the Christmas holidays,
Representative Kahn has rallied
the members CT the committee who
favor universal militsry training,
and the effort to report out a bill
without such a provision will be
bitterly resisted. Kahn said:
II feel reasonably certain that
when Congress takes up an army
reorganization bill both Houses un-
doubtedly will have an opportunity
to 60 on record on the question of
universal military training"
Indications are that the fight on
universal military training will de-
lay final action By the committee
possibly for more than a month.
