 Gf5HE amount of heat given off
 II from one gram of radium in
 disintegrating into lead is s00.- 900 times as much as the amount of heat given off in the burning of one gram of coal. There is in the radium then a supply of sub-atomic energy which raises the question, does such energy exist locked up in other atoms and if so ia there any possible way we can get at it? Do not be too sanguine about it as far as radium is concerned. because if all the radium at present in the world were set to work. although it is soo,ooo times as potent as coal in giving off energy. it would not suffice to keep the cor ner popcorn mans outfit going. It does not exist in sufficient quantity.
 But what has it's discovery done? It has opened our eyes to the fact that certain kinds of matter certain ly possess these stores of energy and it is almost foregone conclusion that similar stores of energy are also possessed by the atoms which we have not yet found to be chang ing-which are not radioactive. The astronomer has for years been com pletely puzzled to account for the enormous amount of energy which the sun and stars emit. He has not been able to find its source. It was impossible that the sun was simply a., hot body cooling off. because we have evidence that it has lived long .er than it could have lived If that were the case. The astronomer, how

INSURANCE FOR NovELIsTs

From the Chicago News.
 After banking the fires of genius for IS years of quiet service as a clerk, an employe in the adjutant generals office in Washington le. his ambition blaze in the shape of a serial novel. In so doing he seems to have signed two of his supc- riors, who found themselves libeled under the names of Major Inkinpcn and Captain Rarehorse, As result the budding author has been sum- marily fired.
 This case furnishes one more il- lustration of the difficulties that be- set novelists. If novelists char acters are at all probable, some one is bound to recognize himself in one of them and go after the author. Even naming the characters is a grave problem. John Bunyan met the difficulty by using type names. such as MT. Badham. But that will hardly do for the modern novelist. Instead he must look around for i,n- pIOodOlC dPPCiidtiOtiS- II, ioi stance. he decides that no one in the world can be named Alphabet Izzard. no sooner does he publish in New York .The Mysterious Murder of AL phabet Izzard," than probbly up will bob a Mir. A. B. c. Izzard in Phil adelphia. alive and kicking. And un- less the novelist has murdered MT. Izzard very gently indeed he may be taken into court and mulcted of a good round sum.
 The Washington novelist passed the first hurdle. No one has laid claim to the name of Inkinpen or Rarehorse. but so realistic was his character study that he had been caught in that way. It seems clear that if literature is to have any free dom something must be done to pro- tect the novelists, Why not soms form of fictional insurance policy d. lowing the holder to main or bruise character up to certain figure? No novelist can propel his vehicle with speed or confidence so long as he is held financially responsible.

No Advance in sight

"The only prospect for raise in the price of cotton is resumption Of normal business conditions in Eu- rope,' said Gov. Emmet O'Neal yes- terday, "and I am of the opinion that this will not come very soon. This is illustrated by the statement of former Postmaster General Burle- son. who has been Investigating con- dt;ons in Germany to the effect that even though Germany resume her manufacture of cotton goods as in 1914, she could not sell more than one-fourth of her output.
 T believe that there will be a grad ual increase of demand in Europe for American products, and that this will finally lead to normalcy, but when this time will come I don't be- lieve anyone can predict"

ever, has now seized upon the facts of radio activity and surmises that these sub-atomic energies may bs the source of the suns radiation.
 z Look again at the significance of these facts of radio-activity for problems of geology. I am thinking particularly of the work of Professor Joly and Lord Rayleigh who havs radio activity of the ordinary sur face rocks. Professor Joly has com puted that if there are two parts of radioactive material for every mill lion parts of other matter through out the whole volume of the earth. and this is considerably less than he has found on the average in the earth's crust, then this earth. in stead of cooling off, is heating up; so that in 100000. 900 years the tenn perature of it's core will have risen through 1.soo degrees centigrade. That is a temperature which will melt almost all of our ordinary sub stances. What does it mean? It means that the life history of our planet is perhaps not at all what we have heretofore thought that it was, It means that a planet that looks to be dead like this our earth may. a few cons hence be a luminous body, and that it may go through periods of expansion when it radiates enof- mously, and then through periods of contraction when it becomes, like our earth now, body which is a heat insulator and holds in it's interior the energy given off by radio-ac- tive processes until another period of luminosity ensues.

Estcnd switching neIt

"The switching belt of Birmingham should be extended" said J. M. P. Otis. As it is, we who are trying to locate small industries slightly out of the switching belt are confronted with much higher charges for eeiiv- cry and removal of cars. A eaArse of s2. in the belt will run as high as $12 and s15 outside the belt, but on railroad sidings just as suitable for small factories.
 "In Atlanta they have much wider switching belt and that has helped fill that place with small in dustries. Birmingham must do the same thing if we are to widen our manufacturing circle and locate lots of small factories seeking low priced sites"

Women Who Are Successful

 J the Alabama Federation of Business and Professional Women's clubs has brought to Birmingham representative of the intelligent, in dependent women who are playing a part of growing importance in the nation.
 AS never before American women are realizing and fulfilling the ob- legations of citizenship. This ap- plies not only to those engaged in various lines of business and the professions, but to women every- where, who are fighting the bat ties for better education, for cleaner government and improved living conditions. Their influence is being felt in municipal, state and national elections. No worth while moverent can succeed any longer without the support of American sssood. They are in every sense nE the word citizens and they ars Aoo only yielding the ballot to good purpose, but they are dedicated to all kinds of public service.
 Organizations of business and. professional women are compara- lively new, yet they are already strong and are rapidly increasing their usefulness, both to their own members and to society as a whole. Successful women in the profess sions and the business world have ceased to be novelty.

THE LIVING BUDDHA DEAD

From the New York Herald.
 C7f7HE death of the Hutuktu, the
 living Buddha, at Urga in
 Mongolia, not far south Of tho Siberian frontier, reopens the com plicated old Mongolian controversy. In 1912, when China became a repub- lie. the living Buddha was estab- lished as the living head of a gov ernment for which Russia was tho sponsor, and he continued in that position until the fall of imperial Russia. China then declared that the treaty into which she had been forced by Russia was null and void. and that the independence of Mongolia was cancelled. This action, it was announced. disposed of the Hatuktu as a ruler. But he 'was still the spir- itual leader of 2,oeo.ooo Mongoiians; they gathered to his support, and last February captured Urga and re- instated him in power.
 The particular stroke of policy of which the living Buddha was the center was the last grab of the Rus- sia of the Csars for power in the Orient and 1t was matter of no sr ali concern to the United States and to all other nations having com mercial interests in northern China The treaty which was drawn up after prolonged negotiations gave prece- deIce to Russian subjects and Rus sian commerce in Mongolia; it recog- nized the rights of Russia to estab- lish banks. control the administra- tion of the posts and telegraphs and to build railways in Mongolia. At the same time. it placed in the hands of the Mongolian government loan of about sl.ooo.0o0.
 It was the administration of this amount that showed the living Bud aha to have q very human side. He was always credited with being im- bued with Oriental ideas of sport when the Dalai Lama. another living Buddha, fled from Tibet to Urga, he refused to have anything to do with the Hutuktu on the grounds that he was a roisterer and profligate-- and when the Hatuktu found himself E in control of the Russian loan he launched forth on career of extrav- agant expenditure. He rcfurnished many of his residences at UrgA in Russian style. and he spent large amounts for HI ohtainable Iuxuries. He had tho first and for several years the only. automobile h Non golia, and travellers in that country say that no ens could have got more lenjoyment out of them than the live ing Buddha did
 His successor will be cheesn in the usual manner. The names of boys born about the same time the living Buddha died will be put into an urn and the one whose name is drawn will be installed in office. The choice thus. falls upon m infant and he is

< * * New Car Plant Will Start Operations Monday

NYEXT Monday the Fairfield IN pressed steel car plant of the Chickasaw Shipbuilding and Car company, an auxiliary of the Ten nessee company, will go into regular operation and take its place among the large. and important industries of the Birmingham district.
 Like the ships three quarters built at contiguous shops, to be finished at Mobile, these cars will be literally dug out of the hills near which they roll from the shops, ready to serve, the districts traf- fife.
 It is remarkable combination. The same machinery in the fsbri- eating and plate mills win make material either for ships Or for cars;
 
 for carriers by sea or for carriers by land. Out of the same shops will issue the means for distrib- uting Birmingham products over the face of the earth and the seas.
 The new works will manufacture 15 to 25 standard steel freight cars daily and add that much to the shipping facilities of the district. There are times of car congestion when this daily influx of carriers will prove a most valuable asset.
 The shops will employ several hundred skilled mechanics at good wages. They will turn out another finished steel product. They will add much to the prestige and the wealth of the district. They will represent another distinct achieve ment in the use of raw materials.
 The car plant starts with orders that will keep it going for some time.
