HOmaOkla Test East
Southeast Extension
Is to Be Abandoned

The Homaokla Oil Company test on
the Sullivan farm. in the southwest
corner Of the southeast quarter Of sec
ton 20, 4s-2w, one-half mile east of
the discovery well of the Hewitt
southeast extension, will be abandoned.
Definite decision to this effect was
made last night when r J. Milburn,
president of the Homaokla Company,
issued orders that the casing in the
well be pulled. The contractor is now
rigging up preparatory to pulling the
casing.
The hole is at total depth of 2770
feet. 1t was originally shut down at
this depth while efforts We're being
made by the operators to borrow cas-
ing and to enlist the cooperative aid
of people interested in the test and ad-
joining properties to continue the drAI
ing. This aid was not forthcoming
and later President Milburn announced
that he was willing to turn over the
well for the original cost of the cas-
ing and derrick. However, no one
seemed desrous Of taking over the
we'll and the abandonment is the re-
suit.

The Junior Chamber of Commerce has decided that its first work for the Boy Scouts will be an effort to obtain capable scoutmasters The report of the scout committee, headed by J. M. Bates. made this recommend ation, and 1t was concerred in.
 J. J. Jackson reported success of his committee in arranging with the different dinner clubs for entertain ment of visitors coming with the sol- lege football teams.
 It was unofficially reported that the state of Georgia had adopted the bill of the Junior Chamber of Com merce providing that sheriffs los ing" prisoners to mobs be automat- ically subject to impeachment unless such officer proves that he did his best to protect the prisoner. The chamber will write for confirmation. This bill was proposed at the oxtra session of the Alabama legislature. but failed to pass the senate com mittee.

 The Birmingham Automobile club was Mir. Moore's theme. and he waxed enthusiastic on the subject, saying among other things:
 n cont believe that tho people of Birmingham appreciate the Autom"7 bic club and what 1t stands for ana what it is doing and trying to do.

 T plead guilty to the accusation myself, for while I am a member, I do not take as active a part as I should In the affairs of the club. just like hundreds of others, but I mean to do so hereafter, for I have been Joking into the clubs activi- ties, and l find many worth while things already to the credit of the few who have promoted the club and sustained 1t.

BLUE DEVILS" ID
 RIDE MAIL TRAINS
Detachment of Marines De- tailed for Duty When U. s.
 Mail Is Involved

The marines arc coming; coming to Birmingham district to ride mail trains. do platform duty and be and act whensoever and wheresoever pro- tection of mail trains, mall pouches and transmission and handling or mails Is involved.
 They are coming at once from bar racks in Virginia. No one will know just how they will be used, nor where they will be at any given time. The certain thing Is that they will be wherever Uncle Sans mail requires protection and that they will shoot quick in case the mails are molested by parties endeavoring to appropriate mall pouches for their private emolu- ment
 This information Is given on the authority of J. W. Streit, chief clerk of railway mail service. headquarters in Birmingham. Mir. Streit gets his information from Postmaster General William H. Hays. Orders are to put the new regime in effect at once.
 Guarding of railway mali trains and otherwise protecting mails by armed marines Is to be general all over the country. Birmingham Is to get it's quota right now.
 The Germans called the marines Blue Devils" If that means red- blooded young Americans, who are fully capable of giving a good ac- count of themselves where action is required, the term Is well applied.
 It is forecasted that robbing mail trains and mail pouches Is headed for "innoclous desuetude" of early approach.

COAL PRODUCTION.
 ALMOST NORMAL
Lowest Point Reached Was 30 Per Cent of 1920
 Average

Production of Alabama coal very nearly reached the average of 1921. according to latest weeks figures. The reported production was 2s7,- 900 tons. To this conservative esti- mate of the unreported tonnage would add at least 10000 tons, making a real production of approximately 100000 tons, compared with the 1920 average of 330.O00.
 Production increased a great deal after autumn set in and there was a special momentum in domestic coal during the period of the threat of a railroad strike. Returns of produc- tlon of the past week have not been summarized.
 The lowest point reached by Ala bama coal production in 1921 was not under 50 per cent. Numbers of mines made lower records, but production as a whole has not fallen below reported production of 165,000 tons per week and that low level was not of long duration. The reported low produc- tion was exactly 50 per cent of the actual 1920 production reported of ficially by the state mine inspector. If unreported production had been added, it is estimated that the low mark would have shown 1f5,000 tons, which Is more than 50 per cent of the 1920 average.
