JUDGE LOCKE TALKS ON MILLION DOLLAR
 COLLEGE CAMPAIGN

Make It a Million for Brmingham- Southern College, IS a slogan which has struck popular chord. according to statements made by members of the com rnittee which will have charge of rals- ing enough money in Birmingham to make the total fund available for that institution equal million dollars
 This was the opinion expressed yester- day by Judge Rugh A Locke, mem- Der of the committee. following expres. sions heard from citizens of Birmingham representing all denominations and from all walks of life. It is anticipated that the people of Birmingham will raise the sum of from $200,0O0 to $3O0,0 needed to make sl,00o.0o0 available after the fund of about $700,0o0 is received from the Campaign for Christian education now being conducted by the Methodist churches of the south.
 People of Birmingham interested in the development of the city and district appreciate the fact that by contributing a small part of the money needed Bir- mingham will have $1 .0O0,O00 for local college" said Judge Locke. "Of this amount, fully $700.0o0 will come through the Christian education fund. which will be contributed largely through the Meth odist churches of the south. In other words the people of Birmingham are offered without any effort on their part, the $100,0o0, and all they will be asked to do is to raise aose to $200.OG0 te make it million for Birmingham Southern, Birmingham institution

to help shown by Birmingham district operators.
 Operators of the district were urged by Dr. Bain to take advantage of the services of the experiment station at Tuscaloosa, operated under the bureau of mines station in West End. The work of the station at Tuscaloosa tends to make for efficiency in mining, with careful study of conditions by trained technical men of the government serv- ice.
 Dr. Bain declared that the Ala
 bama district had remarkable
 field of iron ore, but said there was
 room for Improvement in methods
 of handling low grade He
 cited the instance of the mines of
 Lorraine, in western France, where
 siliceOus ores were mined at low
 cost, through use of the siag for
 fertilizer.
 He suggested that some such process could be used here. Mining of low grade ore cheaply would obviously be of advantage to all mine operators.
 Work of the bureau in educating op- orators and men through the medium of motion pictures was described by Dr. Bain. These films are available for showing before civic bodies and can be obtained at any time by applying to the bureau offices at Washington.
 Some of the scenes show the inside of an open hearth furnace, the pictures being taken with camera inclosed in a specially constructed water-j jacket, The camera was placed Inside the fur mace during the making of the film.
 Dr. Bain stressed the importance of the establishment of grades for coal, just as there are different grades of I,.A, a would be most advantageo from an export standpoint, with the government able to place its approval stamp on the product.
 The party will go from Birmingham to Washington having been away from the capital since April 10. They are travelling in a special car of the bureau

BARGE LINE SHOWS PROFIT OF S5O,OOO
 IN APRIL BUSINESS
Enterprise Reached Operating Costs in February = Now Making Money and Saw
 ing for Merchants

Report of operations of the Missis- sippi-W Warrior barge line for the month of April shows a new high rec ord, profits of s50,OOO having been earned.
 The re port makes no separate ac- count of the Mississippi and Warrior branches of the service, hence it is not known where the greatest earnings were made.
 The previous high financial rec ord was made in February when for the first time cost of opera tions was earned.
 In addition to earning handsome profits, April made another rec ord in the volume of business. The barge lines handled S4,795 tons of miscellan eous freight in April and the volume of business exceeded that of February by 11,150 tons, which is the equivalent or l,7S9 freight car loads representing bS freight trains. e
 A large part of the earnings have come out of the movement of up- river miscellaneous freight from New Orleans, sugar. coffee, salt and rice being shipped on every northbound self propeller.
 Territory patronizing the War rior self -propellers is co-extensive with the territorial right to the 20 per cent differential. Patronage comes from as far east as Atlanta, as far north as Chattanooga, from West Point, Amory and other Mississippi towns on the west and from Montgomery on the south. Each upcomirg self propeller brings merchandise for new pa irons as Knowledge of the differen- tials percolates through the fla vored territory. Atlanta and Mississippi cities have cargoes on every northbound boat.
 Atlanta has engaged southbound transportation for a cargo of cot ton for Czecho-Slovakia.

 MT. Atwood will leave Birmingham to- morrow morning for Tuscaloosa accom- : panied by delegation of members of the Alabama Manufacturers association. He will address the student body of the University of Alabama tomorrow
 Harry F. Atwood has rendered our American public great service" sad President D. B. Dimick of the Southern club, "by bringing before it his ttlely production, Keep God in American His tory. MT. Atwood's book is one of the most widely distributed of the times. It has an Irresistible appeal.
 Ut came at a time when somethin g was needed to check the spread of bol- shevism challenging the interest of Amer jeans. In clear, forcible English the American constitution was again inter- preted with more or a sur than Justice Marshall made in his day. It pointed out the dangers of the flippant use Of the word democracy and defined the United States as a republic. It was not in any sense a political document, but an appeal to fundamental patriotism. It started people to thinking rather than cheering.
 Not content with merely writing a book, Mir. Atwood has responded to the call for lectures and has visited many of the larger cities, carrying his message to the republic. Wherever he has ap- peared. there was a feeling that here is man who knows and who has thought out things to a finish.

 When the bureau of mines began It's work more men were killed in American mines than In those of any other country, pr. Bain i'm formed his hearers. The United
 States Is now below the average. This is not due to the efforts of the bureau alone. but to the train ing of men to meet emergency sit nations in the mines.
 pr. Bain gave a short definition ot the bureau, of which he has been heaG since January 1. He stated that it hat no powers except those of investiga- tion. The bureau cannot tell an oper- ator what must be done, but merely suggest the proper method. The police and inquisitorial powers are left to the state and county organizations in al cases, he said.
 He outlined how the work of the bureau had begun when it had Dranched from the geological surves during the St. Louis exposition in 1904 It's purpose is not to act as a fire de. partment for the mines of the country but to help train employees of the cor porationS owning them to safeguard their lives so that the minimum loss ot life may be recorded.

This mine, used for research purposes, is fitted with all sorts of apparatus which inv yestiga- tiOns have proved will check an ex- plOsiOn. Explosions are caused
 under certain conditions, which are carefully studied by engineers of the bureau. Then preventative
 measures are worked out and given to the operators of mines.
