Ouer Twenty Million Feet Of By-Product Gas, Now Wasted, Available for Use in City

vital. He stated the gas-producing cor porations were willing to do business with the city.
 Approximately l75OOO,oOo feet of by product gas is made daily,'' Mir Kugle- mass declared Much of this is used lLxuriously by the corporations produc- ing it. but after all that Is needed is used, there remains about 2O,000.000 feet surplus each day which is practically wasted, so far as the public is con cerned. It may be surprising to note in this connection that Birmingham uses about two and one-half million feet per day, so it is easy to see that there is no question of availability of by-product gas"
 Chief advantages of utilization of the gas were enumerated by Mir. Kugleuass as lower price greater heating and lighting power. more economy, and as a good health measure when used for heating in lieu of coal.
 Good results from gas depend as much upon correct pressure as upon the quality of the gas itself" the speaker declared. Under present conditions it is impossible to maintain an even pres sure. This would be a simple matter if by-product gas should be utilized from communities.
 Speeches by Frank E. Butler and oth- CTS pointed out, as Mfr. Butler declared that people should not permit a supply of by-product gas to be grabbed up at a low figure and distributed at a high rate by a public utilities corporation. :" and urged that the public awake to the question and make study of condi- tions.

EXPRESS BANGLES AS
 WELL AS FREIGHT ARE
 HANDLED BY BUREAU

Retail and wholesale merchants, whose invoices of goods do not weigh much, and who patronize express companies ather than the freight service, have had their attention called to the fact that the Birmingham Traffic Bureau collects claims for loss and incorrect bills from the express company as well as from freight.
 On the bureaus blackboard for the past month is this item
 American Express Company: Number of claims on hand, 92; number of claims filed during the month. AT; number or claims paid during the month, 5l.
 These claims are for loss in transit, damage to goods, overcharges and the like. Any merchant member of the .bu- reau has the right, and is invited to send all his freight and express bills to the bureau. There the bureau experts go over them all and if there is error of any kind it is promptly discovered and claim immediately filed. All t'e mem- Der has to do is await the check for the amount he is entitled to. which comes in much shorter time than if he attempt ed to collect on it.
 Retail merchant membership has ln- creased considerably during the past two months.

Use of by-product gas. which he de- clared is being produced in great abund- ance and much of which is going to practical waste in the district, will mean better gas supply, higher efficiency in the service, an eventual reduction in rates and more satisfactory and cer- tain supply for all time to come, accord ing to l. N. Kuglemass, prominent effi- fiency engineer and member of the staff of Howard College in a speech last night before the public forum of the Birmingham Civic Association.
 MT. kuglemass explained in a thirty minute talk the different kinds of gas, aow the half-dozen different kinds are
 'iade, and declared that the by-product gas. which may easily be utilized in Birmingham, is much more efficient
 could mean greater economy and has much greater heating and lighting power than the manufactured gas now being distributed by the utility company
 A crossfire of interested questions greeted the speaker when he had con- cluded his speech. The attendance was large, the crowd completely filling the lounge room of the Civic Association Charles L. Harold, secreteary-manage of the association, presided and intro drced the speaker. In outlining the discussion in advance, MT. Harold de- clared that with the possibility of the contract with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company expiring August l because of the impossibility to obtain certain oils and materials needed for the production of gas. the question of utilizing the by-product gas becomes

ID TELL VETERANS
 ABOUT FARM LANDS
Bowman Compiling Booklet for Distribution Among
 Rainbow Soldiers

It is intended to bring to the attention of the Rainbow division veterans, when they meet here in July, the opportunities offered in Alabama for soldiers seking to engage in farming
 Sam c. Bowman, who was one of the leading spirits in preparing the data for the folder of the T. P. A, is among those pressing this movement, and has met with much encouragement
 1r gathering the data for the folder, MT. Bowman was struck with the amount of land in Alabama at very low cost avail able for soldier settlement
 He was led to action by information which he obtained from Washington to the effect that 100000 soldiers were seek ing farm lands on which to settle.
 Many of these men were attracted to the far west by reports of free" lands, only to find out either that there was no land available, or that the land still undistributed was unsuitable for farm ing.
 The subject matter will come before the reunion in a natural sequence, because the Alabama state division of the Amer ican Legion at the annual meeting held recently in Anniston indorsed the project and adopted resolutions calling the at tention of the national commander and the Alabama senators and congressman.
 Following are excerpts from the reso- lutions:
 'In the state of Alabama there are millions of acres of land, cleared and fertile, possession of which can be had immediately for almost as little as the'so- called free government land
 Said Alabama lands are in most cases rot only convenient to good roads, and within easy reach of steady markets, but they are in localities where the citizens are organizing to encourage the immigra- tion of worthy settlers by loans and ad- vances sufficient to tide over the new conner until such time as the returns from his lands will enable him to subsist in comfort and independence"
 The resolutions conclude with an appeal to Alabama senators and congressman to try and interest the war department and the department of the interior.
 MT Bowman says one county in western Alabama. where cattle raising flourishes, has proffered 50000 acres for soldier set clement with assurances Of help in financ- ing the settlers.
 With the indorsement of the Legion and the Railbow division it is believed by MT. Bowman and other former soldiers inte- ested in the land settlement matter that it should become live wire and eventu- ate in attainment.
