tened to the Birmingham infirmary
at the call of his son, Charles Ernest
Brooks, who had been taken there
IN an ambulance. At the hospital he
learned few of the details of the &C
cident due to the inability of his son
to disclose any facts concerning IT.
Ernest Brooks, 1t was said by the
hospital authorities, was not serious

bruises and abrasions about ths
body. 1t was while at the infirmary

The dealers say Whey have been
accorded a margin of $3.50 ton by
the state but that few are making
that margin.
Warm weather continues, making
retail sales slow and money is not
free enough to warrant people laying
in stocks of coal, the dealers say.
Higher Producing Costs
AT the office of the DeBardeleben
Coal company this statement, with
regard to comparative costs and
prices in 1914 and 1921 was made:
Coal in 1914 and coal in 1921 are
different propositions. For instance,
in October. 1914. our costs in mining
5ipsey coal was a total per ton OF
$1.05. which was made up OF 1871
cents for labor and 6-10 cents for
supplies. In October, 1914 labor cos:
per ton was s2.23 and supplies were
so cents, a total of $2.25. This is an
producing the Sipsey coal. Our in
crease in price is 1876 per cent. which
is less than the increased cost of
production.
I'm 1914 Sipsey coal was sold by
retailers at $4.25 for egg sizes and
s4.75 for nut, an average of $3.50.
They are now selling that coal at
1878. II they sold according to the
increased cost they should be getting
$40 for the same coal.
I'VE sold steam coal in 1914 at
s1.35 and we are selling it now at
So. This is an increase of 122 per
cent.
Summarizing. costs yer ton of la
Dor and supplies in 1914 In produce
tion was s1.o5 and In 1921 1t is s2.55
per ton. This is 143 per cent In
crease. We sell domestic coal at an
increase OF 1875 per cent and steam
coal at an increase Of 1872 per cent.
In neither instance does the increase
in the selling price run as high as
the increase in the cost OF produce
ton.
These are facts and there is no
avoi 'ance of them.
Incidentally the freight in 1914
was 80 cents. Today it is 80 cents
per cent increase in cost to yard

HALL OF REMEMBRANCE TO BE
 ERECTED IN WASHINGTON IN
 HONOR OF GREAT WOMANH0OD

Washington, D. C.. July 29.-The eft-repeated question as to who were Americas greatest women will short ly receive a final answer, when the Women'S National Foundation incor- porates in its club house here While the concrete objective of this foundation, which was inaugurated some time ago, by a group of social leaders in Washington, D. C., is to provide an aIl-partisan meeting place for the women of America and an a,ll- inclusive clearing house of informa- ton on their activities, it also aims to act as a source of inspiration and a record of achievement for their sex The Hall of Remembrance is design ed to fill these last-named needs.
 As now proposed the hall is the conception of Mrs. George Barnett, wife of Major-General George Bar nett, United States Marine Corps, and chairman of the Executive commit tee of the Woman's National Founda,- tivn. who submitted it to Mrs C. C. Calhoun. eundation president, by whom it was approved and placed be- fore the board of governors.
 Mrs. Barnett suggested that in the hall, which would be the main audi torium of the foundation, there be erected forty-eight pillars represent ing the forty-eight States. On these pillars would be inscribed the names of the women who from pioneer days to the present time have helped to make State history and, incidentally, be. selected by a commission in each State consisting of prominent women educators and historians. The govern ors would be invited to nominate the comm ission, whose findings would be finally passed on by special na-

 As Mrs. Barnett's plan received in- stantaneous approval from the gov ernors of the Foundation, as well as from Mrs. Calhoun, it is expected appointed soon and the work of his toricai research begun. There is an ticipated HttIs difficulty in choosing the hero:neS of pioneer days.

MAKING NATIONAL PARKS
 SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY

by the U. s. Public Health service and the National Park service, to make the National Parks of the Unit ed States safe and sanitary for the vast numbers of Americans who have recently taken to touring them. Be- fore the war, when tourists were fewer and most of them travelled on stage lines and stayed at park hotels, the sanitary problem was simple. Since the war, however, the great majority travel in automobiles and camp out, enormously complicating all health matters.
 Since early in January the U. s. Public Health service at the request of and in cooperation with the Ma tionaI Park service, has been prepar- ing for the work; and on May Is, it sent it's first sanitary engineers into

Yellowstone, Mount Rainier, Yosemite and Grand Canyon parks. Other en- gineers, or engineers who have fin ished their work on earlier assign ments, will go to other parks. Only in the largest and most popular parks, such as Yellowstone, will it be necessary for a sanitarian to re- main all summer.
 The work consists in examination and protection of water supplies, dis posal of garbage and sewage, inspec- tion of milk and food and the way they are handled; providing for camp policing and sanitation; and preven- tion of malaria; malaria carrying mosquitoes have been found in Yose- mite park, and especial efforts will be made to eradicate them there and to prevent them from acquiring a residence" in other parks.

Any member of the American Legion may go on the trip providing his application for reserva- tions is received before the quota Is filled The expense, about $500. will be borne by the individual member. As the party is limited to 250, the state quotas are necessarily small and applicants have been urged to act promptly in requesting reservations. Applications are received by the state Legion departments.
