Cash Register PattersonN
John W. Lov. in the Cleveland Plain

John w Love in the Cleveland Plain
 Dealer.
 Although youth is generally re- gsrded as the innovator and age as the conservative, it is a safe bet that the change in the administration of the National Cash Register company in Dayton will bring fewer novelties into plant management and industrial relations than have distinguished that institution for the past 20 years or more. John II. Patterson, retiring ! president, continues active in the business as chairman of the board, but his son, Frederick E., who is 29, succeeds him as president. and J. II. Barringer, Ss. as general manager F. B. Patterson has been connected with the concern for II years. Father and son are in Battle Creek, Mich, home of the vegetarians, for their va cation, and consequently nothing more than the announcement of the election has been made. II is hardly to be expected, however that the well fare work which the elder Patterson was so fond of introducing will con tinue to be broadened in so spectacu- lar manner as in past years.
 Patterson was one of the first in this country to require physical ex- animation of employees and to main tain hospital al the plantA Twenty minutes of the companys time was allowed every employe once a week (net Saturday nighD for taking a bath. Recreation rooms were pro- vided women employees and two re- cesses were given daily. Some of these and other privileges were made compulsory at the beginning with the result that the employees came to the brink of strike Patterson closed the workse two months and when he reopened, the compulsory feature of many of the schemes was eliminated.
 Much emphasis is still laid unon social and educational plans. Motion pictures of an educational nature are shown daily and groups of employees are often taken on trips to other cities and factories. salesmen go to school to study systems in retail stores and ways of co operating with merchants A plant library has a re- markable circulation. Visitors to the plant are often invited to address the employees. Band concerts dances, games and sports of all kinds are provided and a gun club is situated near the factory. Employees have their own country club with very low dues.
 Patterson used to come to work at $50 every morning and quit at noon. He hung his office walls with charts for every bit of information, even using them IS other business men use memorandum books.

Vessels are now plying between the eastern and western seaboards and making stops at south Atlantic and gulf ports. This is to the advan- tage of the gulf ports, because the greater the total business done by the ships the more justification there is for their operation and the more certain are regular schedules between Mobile and the west.
 The Warrior river figures in the business through it's lower than rail rates from the gulf. The re- cent addition of a third big freighter will provide for merchandise cargo out of Mobile and New Orleans every five days. The Warrior and the Panama canal are figuring exten- sively in the commerce of Birming- ham.

 "l was advised at the time of mak- ing the report to the Birmingham Automobile club, that Secretary Dob bins had already located my car some Is miles from Birmingham; that the thieves hal already removed all five of the tires from the car, but that he had the tires in his possession. The thieves were arrested at 6 D. m., and my car was returned to me by the Birmingham Automobile club at sso the same date.
 k consider that a very excellent piece of work OF the part of the club, and I think Birmingham should be duly proud of such an efficient organ izatien."

Sampson Editor Optimistic

T have just returned from trip to the Pacific coast. and found that conditions out there are no better than those in Alabama said w. F Mccartney of Samson editor of the Samson Ledger, who is in Birmingham attending the meting of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows "In fact, I be- lieve conditions in Alabama are bet ter than they are in the west.
 Down in south Alabama, we are rather hard hit, but are going to pull through all right. Nobody is suffer- ing from lack of anything to eat. We were pleased to find that our part of the state was marked fair'on a may of the south sent out to its agents by the Simmonds Hardware company, and we were ono of the few sections of the country to receive that rating.
 South Alabama is proud of the new hospital recently built by the Masons of Pike county at Troy It is said to have cost ss5,oo0. and when opened some time during the present month will be one of the hest equipped hos pitals in the south.''

Y N x Italian Summer Resort Setting a Swift Pace

M EAUVILLE, where mirth and ilV frivolity reign supreme and seashore nymphs disport them selves in scant attire, has long been regarded by prudish Americans as hotbed of continental wickedness. From time to time the cables shock newspaper readers in small towns with accounts of escapades at Deau- vile that would eenvulse every re- former in America if they occurred at any of our saintly summer re- sorts.
 But Deauville, if we are to be- lieve a dispatch from Paris, has been surpassed in extravaganza and uneonventionality by Lido, water ing place near Venice. Here are some of the diverting incidents of last week, as recorded by vera cious writer in a Paris weekly, who is not, let us hope, a press agent for Lido.
 Gabrielle D'Annunzio, hero of Plume, went in bathing clad in pur- pie tights and astride a white horse shod with golden horseshoes. A scion of royalty cut wide swath at the resort and departed without paying his hotel bill, which is not surprising when we consider the present state of royalty. A group of Parisian society people lived day and night in bathing suits. Mrs. Peter Cooper Hewitt of New York drove to the sea in seventeenth century coach, drawn by dapple gray ponies and driven by a negro in gold and red livery. A Rouma- nian actress set the fashion of bath ing while wearing ropes of pearls eneased in celluloid, with waving feathers in her hair.
 |
 This is not all that happened at Lido, by any means, but it is enough to show that it is no place for an unsophisticated millionaire from America to tarry if he wants to get back home without having to bor- row steamship fare. If Lido is "ten times more cosmopolitan than Deauville, and hundred times more expensive" is enjoys the proud dis tinction of being the most profligate resort on earth.

To Handle Cotton
 on the Toll Plan

t7NHE Warrant Warehouse com
 u pany has made an announce ment of importance to cotton grow CTS. 1t has perfected arrangements with European mills belonging to the strongest mill organization on the continent to take southern cot ton, manufacture it and sell it on the toll plan. The company is pre- pared to handle as many as 200,- 900 to 250,000 bales.
 Under the present price of cot ton it is estimated that the return to the producer, after all commits sions for conducting the entire busi- ness are taken out, will be 16 cents a pound and greater than that in proportion as the price of cotton rises. The producers cotton is cared for, insured and the returns collected by the company, All he needs to do is send his cotton to the comnany's warehouses.
 Some of this business has been done heretofore, but it has remained for this Alabama concern to ar range modus operandi to handle 100000 to 250,O00 bales of the com- ing Alabama cotton yield, which is not expected to be much over 400,- GOO bales.
 The use of the Warrior river in shipping to the warehouses of the company at Mobile is suggested be- cause the freight by river is less than by rail. The entire plan has been thought out by experienced cot ton warehouse men, and they claim to have perfected the matter of financing at low cost.
 There is going to be no difficulty about financing the coming cotton crop on the part of those who store sn hapJad uarahauca. or ch;,o So continental mills under the toll plan through responsible agencies. The crop is about here and producers should think about its business-hke disposal. The producer who waits for higher prices is not paving the way'for satisfactory results.

A VOLCANO LIGHTHOUSE

Sometimes the fire of the earth quiekens, as it the hissing of the steam may he heard many miles out at sea, and the lava beils over the side of the cone
 "Stromboli, unlike the volcanoes that experience intense paroxysms of activity followed by long periods of amples of the continuously active volcano. Standing alone in the sea- it Is visible for almost a hundred miles, it's ever-lighted fires tintias the clouds and the sky with rosy glow, which has led to it's being known as "The Lighthouse of the Med iterranean.' It's light, however Is not constant in it's intensity; first the sky is almost bright red. whi nf then decreases to a. faint glow, only to be followed again by the brighs light.
 "In this respect 1t resembles the flashing lighthouses which are com mon to coasts the world over and ' reality it is used by sailors in the Mediterranean. Tn lighthouses of the man made kind the flashes come at regular Intervals, one of the bea- cons being differentiated from am other by the length of time between the Aflashes. Stromboli, in this re- spect maintains its individuality, for it's g'lowings are very irregular, varying between one and twenty flashes per second, the intensity also varying from time to time.
 "Seientfsts, in studying the flashes of the light of the mountain have found that as the steam aecumu- lates below, the lava In trying to force it's way out pushes back the scum on the cauldron and leaves the surface of the molten mass exposed to view; when that bubble has burst with 8 roar the scum again darkens the surface, in consequence of which the sky glows and fades.

THE TIE THAT BINDS

N57 WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-Cspe- | WNW cial)-The constantly act | w i've volcano, stromboli. on stromboli Island, seems to be redeublng it's efforts lately, and the 5000 terrified inhabitants are hold | ing themselves in readiness to flee | at almost any moment should the danger from the molten rocks and sufphurous gases issuing from the crater threaten their lives and their homes, dispatches state.
 "The circular cone of the volcano which forms the island of stromboli' and the six other islets of the h- | pari group comprise connecting | link between Vesuvius on the main | land of Italy and Etna on Sicily. The volcanic wrath of these three mighty mountains is partially re- sponsible for the terrific earth shud- derings at Messina and in other parts i of Sicily and Italy,' says bulletin of the National Geographical society 1 from it's headquarters in Washing | ton, D, c.
 ''The situation of the Lipari group on a map suggests the idea that they are the stafs which Sicily saw from a terrific blow in cosmic times on the tip of her nose, inflicted by the wrathful boot of Italy. Strombol is living up to this figurative excuse for her existence by keeping her | fires burning night and day, and 1 throwing her lurid light on the Ital- ian and Sieilian horizon.
 | "On this mountain which rises about 5000 feet above the floor or the sea, according to the ancients' was one of the forges of Vulcan, On which he. hammered out the scepter of love and the shields and spears of the gods On it's precipitous slopes Aeolus. the god of the winds, in com pany with his six sons and six daush- | ters was supposed to have held ms revels and in the cavernous sldes oi the mountain to have confined the blasts.
 .In medieval times the pelehins crater of stromboli was believed tc be the entrance to purgatory.
 About thousand feet from the ton of Stromboli there is an open ing from which steam constantly is- 1 sues and hangs in a smoky-ioohihs clona above the mountain. Ordl- nariiy it is possible to climb up 'o the opening and look over upon the

Famous Negro Preacher Had
 Great Influence in South

N HARLES T. WALKER, D. D., @ who died in Augusta, Ga, a few days ago, was one of the most widely known negro preachers in the United States. The Augusta Chronicle published two-column picture of pr. Walker on its front page and praised him as an elo- quent divine and useful leader of his race.
 Dr. Walker preached for nearly A years, beginning at the age of IS. In addition to his pulpit work, he was a writer, traveller and lecturer. The Tabernacle Baptist church of Augusta is monument to his zeal and is said to be one of the largest and most beautiful negro churches in the south. At one time Dr. Walker was pastor of a negro church in New York city, and filled other pastorates, but much of his work was done in Georgia where he attracted the attention of philanthropists, ministers and dis tinguished men in all parts of the, country. His services were ire quently attended by white people. Among the noted men who heard him preach are William H. Taft, John D. Rockefeller, Lyman B. Golf and Augustus Heinz.
 Like Booker T. Washington, Dr. Walker had eminently practical views for helping the negroes. His church was not only spiritual fac tor in the lives of his people, but departments were established for teaching them trades and profess sions. Cooking, carpentering, shoe making, commerce and automobile mechanics were some of the sub jects taught by this "school within a church." Dr. Walkers piety, his efforts to improve the economic con- dition of the negroes and to pro-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-08-02

mote friendly relations between the races made him valuable citizen to Augusta and Georgia. The esteem in which he was held by the white people of Augusta was attested on many occasions, particularly when his death was announced. Dr. Walker was the type of negro leader who can do most for the negro in the south.

"The trustees of the Baptist state hospital at Selma, in my judgment have acted wisely in securing for superintendent Dr. Louis J. Bristow of South Carolina says Dr. L, L. Gwaltney, editor of the Alabama Baptist.
 "Dr. Bristow has served the Bap- lists of the Palmetto state with sig nal ability as pastor, editor and di- rector of hospitals. He brings to his new position a large experience gain ed in his native state. I am sure that he will not only be a gain to the re- ligious life of Selma, but that his influence will be statewide"

Growing Trade With
 the Pacific Coast

A N outstanding feature of Bir- EA mingham's trade is the de- velopment of business with the Pa cific coast. Four steamship lines are now regularly operating be- tween Mobile and the Pacific coast where few months ago there were none.
 A steamer of the Luckenbach line !, left Mobile Saturday with Birming- ham water, gas and soil pipe, barbed wire, nails. pig iron and wire fencing for Portland, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Pedro and San Francisco. The day it put out a Page & Jones steamer entered with 2,000 tons of dried fruits and canned goods for wholesalers of Bir- mingham and those of five other states in the 20 per cent differen- tial territory served by the Port of Birmingham and the Port of Cor dova.
 The new Chickasaw steamship Memphis City, is loading with steel products for the Pacific coast. The cargo will include. rails for Alaskan railroads. As the season advances the return cargoes of fruits, canned goods and the like will increase.
 The stability of this service is doubly assured by the interest which the Atlantic seaboard is taking ir business with the Pacific coast
