An interview with c. Francis Jenkins,
 the inventor of motion pictures.
 (By Science Service.)
 TX 1T EXT we shall have movies taken lIN| at 70 miles per hour. In- q stead of photographing at the pokey rate of less than three-quarters of mile an hour which is the speed that is used in filming the dramas and comedies that you see at the corner motion pictures houses. this summer will see the perfection of q motion pie ture machine that will photograph 100. 900 images minute on ordinary cellu- Ibid film that will race through the press train.
 This is the prophecy and hope of c. Francis Jenkins. the man who invented motion pictures in 1894. Working in his laboratory in Washington, he is now turning his attention toward the fu- ture.
 The speed at which he aims has been achieved in test, and the principles are those that are used in camera that to- day photographs at the rate of 4s.ooo pictures a minute as regular perform ance.
 If you could visit Mir. Jenkins laboratory and see him project some of his high speed films. you would say "Oh: how slow" not How fast"
 MT. Jenkins has movie Of little girl jumping rope. who has been hon ored by being photogra phed more times per second than the hlghes. paid movie queen. But when the rope jumping film is run through an ordinary cine matograph protector at the rsua; 16 pictures second. the rlpil motions of both girl and rope thaS are missed by the eye are slowCi Iown so that they can be easily followed and analysed.
 This film is similar, hut much slower than trick baseball films or the stretches of slow motior that are some times included In the ordinary comedy. These commercial trick films are usu- ally taken only about nishT times as fast as the ordinary films, and tIe cir making does nos involv, the difficulties and the new princ'pios that MT. Jen kins has bean wrestling with for the rast few years.
 And it is not for the perfection os slap-stick co-..sJy that Mir. Jenkins IS working.
 "The analysis If any high-speed fr Auick movement by photo divisions of 500 to 1.5oo pictures per second is des- tined to disclose data of great value to the scientist and engineer" explains MT. Jenkins. He believes that this VII

Cabbages Aux Kinks

Let no one think that cabbage can- not be raised in this district" says
 John Pate, for I set out 5o,OoO plants
 and had no trouble in raising them. T had fairly good luck on marketing
 the early crop. but at present it is very
 hard to get 8 fair price for them. It is out of the question for me to have
 them peddled, and the dealers want
 them at figure which is discouraging to the grower.

 much good both for the producers and the consumers

South Is Leading in
 the Building Movement

6T1HE south is sound economically. E The Western Lumberman says;
 significant feature of the lum-
 Der business is the great amount
 of southern pine consumed in the
 producing territory. The south is
 experiencing a building boom in
 many sections and a far larger
 amount of lumber is being con
 suIned in what may be termed the r local territory of southern pine
 production than was expected
 The building records of ,Birming- ham and other southern cities reflect what the Lumberman has said. Evi- dently the southern people, who made money during the World war and im- mediately after it, laid aside a re- spectable portion of their surplus and this accounts for the "building boom" mentioned by the Lumberman.
 A pronounced feature of the build ing movement in Birmingham is the growing amount of brick and hollow tile that is going into construction. In the first three months of the year very little brick was used, the home building consisting almost exclusively of modest frame structures. As soon as brick and hollow tile came within reach of the average pocketbook, they also were used and are being used in greater quantities.
 With reduced cotton acreage and the superior business methods adopted on the farms this year, there is go- ing to be good news from that quar- ter. The south will show it's ability to pull through as fully equal to that of any other section of the country.

Income Tax payments

All payments of the second part of the income tax must be paid by June 15," said John D. McNeel, collector of internal revenue.
 T hope those whose payments fall due will take heed, because they will be penalized after that date
 ''In order to avoid possible delay and last minute confusion, people are urged to get their payments in as early as these who owe the second payment, and trust that will be sufficient"

Small Sum Is Asked
 by Salvation Army

6T7HE Salvation Army campaign for J $20,00O will be continued until the desired amount is raised. Contri- buttons are still coming in, but the people of Birmingham should have made prompt response to this ap- peal.
 The work done by the Salvation Army in this city, and wherever else its devoted men and women toll for humanity, needs no indorsement. It is an agency for good that has never been found wanting when it's services were needed. In peace as we'll as in war, the Salvation Army has "car- ried on," uplifting the fallen, feeding the hungry and caring for society's unfortunates wherever they can be found. And the Salvation Army has never been criticized. It has clean sheet. There is no blot on its rec ord of service.
 There are many claims on the gen. erosity, of city as large as Birming- ham, but the giving hand should not be stayed on that account. When the cause is worthy, there should be no hesitation. After all, $2O,00O is not large sum nowadays, when our money raisers aim at millions, and reach their goal with ease.
 If every citizen of Birmingham were to give only $1, the Salvation Army would not have to ask for help in long time. As it is, the dollar contributions have been numerous and they speak of the interest taken in this organization by the rank and file of the people who give according to their means

 T was surprised to find such little attention being paid to the colors. Men stood there without the least thought of paying a salute to the flag by re- moving their hats.
