ALABAMA RECRUITS
 TO BE IN REGIMENTS TOGETHER IN FUTURE
AlIocation of Organizations By States
 Expected to Prove Beneficial in Improving Spirit in Army

The allocation of regiments to states or groups of states has been authorized by the war department, according to infor- nation received at the local recruiting station. This is considered one of the most important moves in the history of recruiting flor the army, in the opinion of Col. George Hamilton. recruiting officer in Alabama. and is expected to have far reaching effects both on the spirit of the new army itself and on civilian interest in the army.
 Heretofore no attempt has been made to secure recruits from one particular sec ton of the country for assignment to regiments located within that territoy. The new plan, it is pointed out proposes to establish, so far as possible, LOCAL tradition for regiments in the new army.
 By assigning recruits to regiments III which their home states are vitaAy lnter- ested the effect will be produce greater esprit de corps among the men them selves. as we'll as make the citizens oL that state feel that the home regiment is worthy of their especial support ps thus localizing interest. the civilian popu- lation will be brought into intimate toucn with the new army, with better under standing of what the army is dolns.
 The units of the new army allocated so Alabama, and to which recruits from tnis state can be sent, are the llth lnlanslS' 18th machine gun battalion and the r Se enth engineers, located at Camp 6oi- don. Georgia: the 20th field artillery, Camp Bragg, North Carolina; the ooen coast artillery regiment, Camp Jackson South Carolina and the Sixth caNaHS' Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.

For the Good of
 the Community

COMPLETION of several batteries of
 by-product coke ovens in the yicin- ity of Birmingham at an early date recalls the efforts made several years ago to SUD- ply the city of Birmingham with by product gas and the saving that would re- suit therefrom, according to estimates of experts made at that time
 A committee representing the Birming- ham chapter of the American Association of Engineers, appointed some time ago to investigate the gas situation, has sub- mitted it's report in which itN claims that the use of by-product gas would save to the citizens of Birmingham about S6O 900 sumption of gas
 Reviewing the negotiations conducted between the city commissioners and the Birmingham Railway, Light & Power Company and the Tennessee Coal, Iron &S Railroad Company several years ago, the committee states that "The initial price being 75 cents per thousand cubic feet (under the contract proposed at the time) based on the consumption at that time of 100000 cubic feet daily, dropping by successive stages to 50 cents when the daily consumption had reached 4,0O0,O 900 l1.x occur about 1920 The proposition as finally submitted meant reduction in price of 21 cents and an actual reduction in heating value of IA per cent. This would have meant to the average gas con- sumer using 5000 cubic feet per month a saving of about S4.23 per year, or for the entire city of Birmingham yearly saving of approximately S59,OOO'
 The committee states that conditions indicate that now is favorable time to reopen this question in view of the neces- sity of making available for the public every possible saving, the increased pro- duction of by-product gas and the limited supply of coal.
 To the report is appended a table show ing 1400 by-product ovens in operation, or under construction and nearing com pletion, capable of coking 16,000 tons of coal and producing 170,00O,O0O cubic feet of gas daily; that the calorific value of this gas is from 475 to 490 B. T. U., while the gas supplied by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company is supposed to run at least 475 B. T. U. per cubic foot.
 The report states that under normal conditions the coke plants use from 40 to 50 per cent of the gas produced, leaving 50 to 60 per cent available for other pur- poses and that certain industries consume o4Lo,. lorcro ,,,ortitioC Tho oonnnoiffno ic

A larger ship one of the vessels under convoy, is steam ing just beyond, and in the distance may be seen other units of the convoy, while the silhouetted bulk of the transport marks the center of the fleet.
