WORLDS THIRD BEST RECORD
Escape Regarded by
Canadians as Miraculous.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario. January A.
The American naval balloon ASSES
has created one of the world records
for spherical balloon flights. Ac-
oording to the record branch of the
Canadian air board. the New York to
can balloonists can be considered the
third best in the world. The distance
flown. If in a direct line. would be
500 miles. but the heavy winds, caus-
ing zigzaggfng. meant going farther
than this. Dominion officials showed
that in recent years two aerial Jour
neys have beaten that of the New
York airmen, namely:
One from st. Louis, No. to Ungava
and the other from Bitterfleld, in
Germany. to Perm. Siberia, when a
German named Berliner. in 1914, few

photographers here claim the
Americans undoubtedly owe their
lives to the retard of the usual se-
we're winter season. They say that
the question of dogs will play an
important part relative to their jour-
and that IL the Factory post can
spare. sufficient dog teams the Ameri-
cans win be able to ride part vav
and will probably reach Mattice about
January g."
The Dominion air board will not at
tempt to send an airplane to Moose
Factory to bring the American ball
loonists back to civilization. II
points out that this would only be "A
needless risk, as the men have no dif-
ficulty in getting to the nearest rail-
road station. although this will take
some time.
The town of Cochrane. on the Cana
dian National railway line, win likely
be the place where the officers will
make for. This is about 1855 miles
from Moose Factory. and is an eight or
ten day journey by dog team. This
is the only means of locomotion in the
north at this season Of the year.

 As an example of how well its members are Known to magazine ed itors, it is only necessary to say that in the September issue of Telling Tales there were stories by Octavus Roy Cohen, Edgar Valentine Smith and Eric Levison, all members of The Loafers, and one by Thomas B. Sher- man. an ex-Loafer, now living in New York city.
 Two members of The Loafers are shown above. Edgar Valentine Smith and David R. solomon. Both of these gentlemen have been hitting the magazines with regularity for the past two or three years, and are bound to become even more widely known than they are at present.
 Mr. Smith has had a story in every issue of Telling Tales for the past year or more, as well as having had stories in Peoples, Top Notch. and others. His latest story was deliv- cred to Tho Blue, Book during the past week andTwiu appear some time in the near futifreAs rysA

In the beginning it is proper ito mention two organizations of Bir- ningham, the members of which are doing much to place fhe city before the public. The eldest of these or ganizations is the Writers club, com posed of women, many of whom have had published books, verse, articles or short stories. The younger organ ization is known as The Loafers and Is composed of young men whose ef- forts are mostly confined to the writ ing of short stories, although several novels have appeared from the pens of it's members.
 The Loafers Is entirely unlike any other club In the world. Such priters as Irwin s. Cobb, Courtney Ryley Cooper, and other writers of national and international reputation, who have been guests at it's meetings, give as their opinion that it is one of the greatest organizations in existence. lts members meet for one thing and one thing only-work.

The magazines of New York, Chi cago and elsewhere know great deal of Birmingham and it's writers Records kept in some of the editorial offices show that they are. receiving more manuscripts from Birmingham than from any entire state In the union, With the exception of New York where many writers from vari- ous sections have gona to live.
 Another Interesting feature Is that many editorial offices are watching out for manuscripts from Birming- ham, because of the fact that so much acceptable material goes from this city. Birmingham Is becoming wide ly known as a city of writers-writ- CTS who know how to write effec- lively.

EARLY PASSAGE OF
 ROAD LAW SEEN
HefIin Declares Federal Aid Bill Contains Many De-
 SirabIe Features

Washington, August 2S.-(Special.) Predicting that the federal aid road bill, now in conference, will soon be- come law and declaring that IL con tAins desirable features similar to the Bankhead road law, Senator J. Thorn as Heflin tonight gave out the fol- lowing:
 We succeeded in defeating the Townsend pui With it's federal road commission and it's purely interstate highway provisions. The bill We passed contains the essential provi- sions of the Bankhead law.
 The Townsend bill provided only for interstate roads and it also pro- vided for a national road commits sion with headquarters at Washing ton.
 T opposed limiting federal aid to interstate roads and insisted tha, this aid should also be given to the construction of intercounty roads or farm market roads.
 T opposed taking the supervision of cooperative road building away from the Secretary of Agriculture and the state highway commission and giving it to a commission here at Washington
 Under the provisions of our bill the state authorities have the right to select roads to be improved or to determine where the roads in the states shall be located and construct ed. Their decision, of couse, must be approved as now by the Secretary of Agriculture. The bill provides for the improvement of per cent of the road mileage of the state.
 Ia, At.. terstate roads in Alabama will not be over s-7 and the mileage of the tntercounty or farm to market roads will be 4-7.

have recently sold, or anything which they think may be of interest to either writers or readers.
 Mention will be made of all sales each week. and there will always be a biographical sketch of the writer whose likeness appears.
 As this column is being furnished By The Age Herald. which has long felt that it would like to do some thing to assist the growing army of writers in this section. it is hoped that the people for whom it is written will help out by sending in the infor- mation desired.
 That is the only way the paper has of getting such information, and . great deal depends upon the interest shown by the writers.
 Brief outlines of some of the stories by various Birmingham or other Alabama writers will be given from time to time, together with comments from critics.
 The magazine editors are looking to Alabama for fiction as they are to no other section of the country except as mentioned above, and the writers who are the occasion of this can assist greatly in making this column interesting by sending ir data as to their activities.
 This information should be sent ir Just as early in the week as possible to insure its getting in the follow Ing Mondays paper, but no one should be disappointed if it fails tc appear as soon as they think it should for there are many writers here more than most people imagine, and of course, the first letters received are entitled to first attention.

 The idea is that this department shall become the forum for discus sion among writers and for the ex. change of information and sugges ton.
