 AND ELSEWHERE
sIsht-seeing Cnrs

Tt looks to me as if sight seeing car operations in Birmingham would pay the operators the same as they do in other cities" said R. J. Prow- ell. They have them in Chattanoo- ga. several different routes. They take visitors to no more spectacular places than Birmingham has.
 Every day there are in Birming- ham many people who would like to get bird's-eye view of the city without knowing how to do it. There are many beautiful views, from anywhere on Red mountain, for instance.
 "A drive around Highland avenue and by one of the blast furnaces, out to the steel works at Fairfield, to the Sloss Sheffield by-product works, to Miner Heights and the like, would be interesting to the stranger. Little refreshment stands might be set up along the journeys in conjunction with the sightseeing busses and add to the revenue.
 They do it elsewhere; why not in Birmingham
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-06-14

a time when more structural work was being done in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa is not the only other Alabama city that is also doing it's full part.
 Alabama will reap the reward of this enterprise. In fact, what we are now doing is the reward of economy which we practiced in flush times. Unless we had saved out of our abundance we could not be building as we are. It is fortu- nate for us that we have the time to build, because when the tide turns we will have pressing need of every additional home and storehouse and the increased facilities for educat- ing our young.

DO YOU KNOW

Sunlight is something like 61s,000 times as bright as the light of the full moon.
 The petroleum resources of this country are 40 per cent exhausted and the available supply underground will last only 1s years at the present rate of consumption, according to the United States geological survey.
 Eucalyptus trees are supposed to prevent malaria, and have been ex- tepsively planted in regions where that disease prevails. Probably what ever beneficial effect they exert in such cases is due to their power oi drying the soil. On account of their rapid growth and great leaf surface they draw vast amount of moisture from the ground.
 The ''equinoctial storm is myth
 
 Fresh water mussels are sedentary in habits and while they have the powers of locomotion. they seldom move.

WHAT OUR PRESIDENTS SAVED

his later years he received hand some income from his writings, his savings were partially represented hy accumulations laid aside during his seven years in the White House. Taft was in debt when he became President After four years ne was out of debt and had little money laid by.
 What was the presidency worth in cash to Woodrow Wilson? We know that previousy to 1912 he had prac- tically nothing, and that early in 1921 he bought a residence In the city of Washington and paid for 1t sl5oo0o all in cash or its equivalent. At the same time he Is planning to spend d similar amount on a country hcmc, and Is so independent that he can casually refuse an offer ol s-10,oO0 for & book on the peace conf. renee And this is the man who 20 years be- fore had applied to the Carnegie fund for & pension.
 It is true that Mrs. Wilson has small fortune, but no such amount as is indicated here.
 It is altogether likely that MT. Viii son saved s5O,oO0 year, at least during each of his eight years in high office. This s4oo,0oo. added to the income from hts books an income greatly accelerated, due to the pres tige of his station, has made him in dependent.
 Judging by the new Presidents early months in office it is hard to see how he can fail to retain some thing of nest-egg out of that
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-06-14

Richard Barry. in Leslts's. 17 F Hayes. as is said, saved sH.ooo a year, he had at the end of his four years a tidy little sum or s176, ,000 as a souvenir of his chief magistracy of the nation. And if he invested this at per cent he enjoyed for the balance of his days from his presidential savings an income of ss,so0 per annum.
 Garfield was in office only five months before he died, but Arthur, who succeeded him for three and a half years, is believed to have saved over o,000 in that time. Cleveland went into the White House a poor man; he retired to pri- vate life with competence. A large part of this estate he acquired through wise investment at the be- hest of his friend, the fiancier, E. c. Benedict, but the initial capital came from his savings from the presidsn- tial salary.
 Benjamin Harrison is believed to have spent only about half of his sal ary.
 Mckinley went to Washington in debt During his five and half years as President he managed to pay off his debts, and on his death Mrs. Mckinley was found to be adequately provided for.
 Roosevelt saved money in the pres idency. He received, during his life- time, in legacies from his father and other relatives sums that aggregated between s175,ooo and $2o0.ooo. His es- tate, on his death, amounted to very ne,rl,r a million dollars While in

x x x Becoming Educated to Use of the Warrior

@ HIPMENTS on the Warrior 0 both southbound and north bound, are increasing in variety. The self-propeller Birmingham, on her last trip down the river, carried coal and steel. At Demopolis she took on 280 bales of cotton for Mobile In her cargo was an automobile In the list of her iron and steel articles was a consignment of grate bars from a Birmingham manufac- turer.
 The Tuscaloosa, on her northbound trip, is bringing 150 tons of canned goods from the Pacific coast for Birmingham wholesale merchants and several hundred tons of arti- cles from New Orleans for more than a dozen cities in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee The cargoes from New Orleans to Mobile include furniture, agricultu- ral implements and many other arti- cle besides coffee, salt, sugar and rice.
 In the first use of the 20 per cent differentials via the Mallory line from the east the barges are bring ing a car of hardware and one of carpets to Birmingham merchants.
 Not only Birmingham, but the cities in the 20 per cent territory are gradually realizing that the barge line handles all kinds of goods the same as railroads. What ever the railroads handle the barge line handles at 20 per cent of the rail rates. The barge line is operated by the government and is as good for damage in transit and the like as any other carrier and delivery is the same.
 The public is becoming educated to the Warrior and education in- creases its use.

Building Boom in
 City of Tuscaloosa

~ LASSIC Tuscaloosa on the NJ Warrior, city of schools and refinement, is going ahead during the period of depression by build ing for the future.
 Some of the structural items of note include a bridge and paved roadway at a cost of $600,000, the institution for the states feeble minded at a cost of $165,000, and g Presbyterian church to cost $140,- 900.
 One of the largest warehouses in the state is being built at a cost of 4100,00O. Two $35,O00 resi- dencss are being erected and nu- merous stores and modest homes. Northport, just across the river, is putting up school building and the Kaul Lumber company is preparing to s1tend it's company rails into Bibb and Hale counties, at an ex- penditure of something like $250,- 0oa
 Thus is the old chivalric south re- affirming it's strength of body and soul. In no section of the country is hsilding going on as it is in the la,,1 = cotton. There never was

 ascending terraces the city proper rises above the water front. its white buildings sleaming in the sunlight. In the hills near the city there is limestone as white and soft as chalk. which becomes hard upon exposure, and this has largely been used as building material Many of the build ings are faced. with colored tiles, and others are washed pink or blue, but there is a softness in the general im- pression nevertheless which is very pleasing. The old tiled roofs which are warped and corving, with their grass-Erown furrows, are delightful.
 "The houses and streets in the greater part of the city present spick anl span appearance, but some of the older portions of the city are not only rustic in appearance, but are dirty. Morning and evening the milkman drives his cows through the streets and satisfies the housewives mind that his wares are fresh by milking her pail full while she waits One ardent civic improvement enthu-
 
 that the inhabitants be forbidden to break their horses, to kill or sinse their pigs in the streets. or to tie them to their doorknobs, as such things rather annoyed the inhabi- tants.
 "The government houses are in the Praca do Commercio around Black Horse square, nicknamed from an equestrian statue of King Joseph, which opens out toward the water. Rolling Motion square, so called from tho wavy mosaic of its pavement is tho business district. West from the center of the city stands the Palace 1 of the Necessidades, where on . night in October. 1910. King Manuel II en- tertained a gay party of Braxiiians at his last meal in his realm. While the dinner was at It's height word was brought to him that revolution had broken out. He went calmly on with the dinner. scribbling on a menu card that the courses of the meal were to be served as expeditiously as l possible. and not until the shells struck the palace walls did he rise from the table.
 Lisbon has one possession of which any city could be proud. It is the monastery of San Jeronymo which. in the beauty of its marbles, por- phyry, jasper. lape, lapis lazui. its mosaics. and its inlays. Is said to be unexcelled except by the Sistine chap el in Rome. On the site there origi- nally stood ! hospice and chapel built by Henry the Navigator for sailors.
