tritious food for the relief of those to whom it means life and sustenance and Mississippi will now support Alabama. Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas in the furnishing of rice for the ships to the near east.
 Various towns and communities in Alabama continue to report that they are perfecting their organization. and they are taking up the slogan and poining out that bag of rice weigh ing 100 pounds can be delivered at Constantinople under prevailing low rice prices at cost of less than s5 per bag, thus saving human life for practically a year, as only a small quantity of rice is needed to sustain life.
 At Anniston R. B. Cobb is busily en- gagged in the formation of his organi- zation for this Armenian rice fund campaign. and other chairmen who are active Are: Mrs. Leila c. Aneyn, Shelf field Rev. w. T. Crump, Tuscumbia. and Mrs. Leo King, Florence
 In order that as much rice as possi- bae, may be acquired while the prevail ing prices are low, it is urged that con- tributions to this fund be sent in ad- vance to the Armenian Rice Fund, Near East Relief, SPA Chamber of Com merce Building. Birmingham. Ala

Following Governor Kilby's statement to the people of Ala bama to the effect that one means of settling the coal strike would be to have the agitators leave the state, Van A. Bittner, international rep resentative of the United Mine Workers ef America, yester- day in a signed statement de- clared that the strike could be settled within 24 hours through arbitration.
 'The miners want settlement of the strike; the operators want set clement of the strike, and the public wants a settlement of the strike" de- clares Mir. Bittner in his signed state- ment.~"and any general plan of arbi- tration can cause the strike to come to a close within 24 hours
 This is MT. Bittner's first statement since Governor Kilby's appeal to the people of Alabama, and in this signed statement he outlines several plans, part of which are for the church to take hand in the arbitration.

Its material, however, is only half as

the total weight OF Saturn is but one

Beyond A Gap OF Space

The four little planets Mercury,
| Venus, Earth and Mars-are relatively
close to the Sun. We are $4,000, 900
miles distant from that luminary;
Mars half again as far away. Then
comes great gap of empty space be-
fore Jupiter, the innermost of the four
outer planets, is reached. AS already
stated, the Jovian orb is more than
tve times as far from the sun as we
are.
But those four outer planets are
the giants, the really worthwhile
members of the Suns family. Uranus,
$4,000 miles in diameter, is more than
SIXTY times the size Of the Earth:
Neptune is one hundred times as big

We're all bound west this snm-

touring with his wife and two Riddles
You can't tour and be dressed up so
We're following the trails OF the auto
camps"
But eastern states have auto
loamps,' the newspaperman replied.
why hit these western dirt roads
where a hard rain means a lay-over
for days?'
The east is asleep" the motorist
replied some cities have auto camps
but there are long jumps between
camps ON many of the best state roads.
West Beats the East.
Tho west has beat en- to it. and
has auto camps all along the route. 1t

summer and the average family-lilSe

been all over the west before and the
scenery didn't attract us. Certainly
the roads held no appeal I've never,
been east of Detroit and would like to
see New York, but until they have
auto camps Ill spend my vacation in

It's the same with all of them They
don't stop at garage and ask tse best

look on the wall and read the list Of
swell auto camps, or they ask their
camping neighbor what such and such

open the eyes of the eastern tourist.
All of the parks have properly drained
camping grounds, running water, GOV
cred dining shelters. open-air ovens
and stoves with firewood provided ard

properly placed.
Camps Are First Glass.
Some parks have hot and cold wa
ter, shower baths, kitchens. laundries,
mess halls wheresfood supplies can be
purchased, and filling and repair sta
tions right on the lot
It's all free. You pay for nothing
except your supplies, and you are well
come to stay as long as you like.
And it is not because it is the
cheap" way to tour that auto camp
ing has jumped into popularity. It is
the comfortable way and the pleasant
way. In any western auto park one
will find beautiful cars of the most
expensive makes with trailers contain
ing luxurious camp equipment parked
among the camping parties who start
out with tent and few cooking
utensils in the family flixVer.
They have gone west where the au-

they please and live the life in the
