CongerSs May Vote Half MiI- lion Dollars for Erection of FIame-Proof Building to

By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald

9Uo UaFoson buHdlnp Washington, February 10.-(SpeciaL J. The Senate has amended the sundry civil appropriation bill by providing practical ly $50O000 for the construction of an archive for the storing of the records of the government This amendment. in all probability will be accepted by the House.
 Some time ago fire destroyed some priceless records. The great bulk of all others is in danger The millions of questionnaires. secured during time or the war against Germany are stored in buildings which might at any time be destroyed by fire. It is said that these draft records are even in danger of ruin from weather conditions.
 The records of the government even the most valuable, are scattered through out Washington. Some are in the state department, others in the capitol and others still in places even less secure What some of these most important doc- uments are, and where they are kept, is told in a statement today by the Ma. tional Geographic society as follows:
 NOTABLE DOCUMENTS

stringing wires from Etowah county to point in Georgia to connect with the water powers of that state, which, in turn, are connected with the water powers of the two Carolinas and Tennessee.
 When the line is completed, the har- messed white coal of five southern states will be so synchronized and correlated that maximum and minimum quantities may be directed at will to any part of these five states according to the needs of the hour.
 Not until the transmission line is strung to the last inch and the final links in this chain of service are forged about one an other will the service be possible. Half of the work of life is preparation. Happy is that place where preparation is ever go- ing on.
 For more than a year the pressed steel car works have been building. Now they are taking orders for cars; are another important achievement in Birmingham's industrial world
 The Central of Georgia railroad has just obtained from the utilities comnis- sion the permit to build twelve miles of road into the coal-bearing areas to be de- veloped by the DeBardelebens and others This is preparation for develop ment on a large scale. It is quite as i'm portant as the operation of industries al- ready established. 1t spells growth and expansion. The road must be built be- fore the coal is mined
 It is much better to have had three new steamship arrangements looking to Blr- mingham's trade extension come at a period when business was not at it's peak. When that is the case men are so snug and satisfied with the present that it is diff cult to enlist their attention to that which constitutes great future need
 The Clyde Steamship company, which works in connection with the Southern railway, has opened offices in Birming- ham, The best service in the history of this rail and water alignment is offered Birmingham. Birmingham has the time to take it in and absorb it. This is prepa- ration for the big business to come.
 The Mallory Steamship line has agreed to publish rates tending to produce busi- ness between New York and Birmingham via Mobile Birmingham has struggled for this for years. The announcement has come at time when shippers can spare few moments from the rush of business to analyze, think and map out the use which they may make of the new line.
 The Atlantic Gulf Pacific Steamship corporation has been organized. It will conduct semi-monthly sailings between Mobile and the Pacific coast. It also has opened offices in Birmingham and is able to secure the attention of shippers to the advantages which these sailings will of fer Shippers have the time to talk to the agents of steamship lines High freight rates on rail lines have predisposed them to listen to what owners and operators of ships have to say.
 In such ways as have been here indi- cated Birmingham is preparing for the oncoming demand for it's goods, wares and merchandise. There is just about enough leisure time to enable sound think ing. That is time well spent

MONROE DOCTRINE

"The next paper to stand out as mile post in the shaping of national policy is the message to Congress by President Monroe proclaiming the Monroe Doctrine The original message is in the files Of the Senate in the capitol building at Washington.
 "The Gettysburg address of Lincoln, scrawled in longhand, is in the Library of Congress at Washington. This ad- dress, now considered one of the great orations of the world, attracted little at tention when it was delivered. In the newspaper reports of the following day it was subordinated to the long, flowery speech of Edward Everett, delivered rom the same platform. The speech was pub lished, however, an important fact, for by the time of the Civil war and to rapidly increasing extent since, news papers by multiplying copies of impor- tant documents have made their content safe from destruction even though the prized originals may be lost.
 By still another step, applied science has multiplied the form of famous rec ords as well as their wording Because of the photographic copies that nave been made today even school chliu may be as familiar with the appearance of the constitution or the Declaration of Independence as the favored few who have looked upon the treasured originals.
 VARIOUS TREATIES
 'Lincoln's emancipation proclamation is in the library of the state department in Washington. and there, too, are all the treaties entered into by the United States from that of ITS with the French and that of 1873, which closed the revolu- ton. down to the present. Among these perhaps the most interesting are those which have contributed to the great ter ritorial growth of the country.
 There is the treaty of 1903 with France, which arranged for what is prob ably the greatest real estate 'deaT III history-the Louisiana purchase. There is the treaty with Spain, which added Florida to the new republic; and the uncompleted treaty with, the independent republic of Texas, which led to the only instance in which separate nation has merged itself with the United States.
