William son said, but it seems there have been so many things to do in all the parks and playgrounds that if we have to spend too much money on one, our whole work doesn't go on so we'll We wish we could do the impost sible and please everybody, but If we did, we wouldn't be doing the animals nor ourselves justice. Some animals need all the air they can get. others must not be kept too warm. We try to keep our eyes on them to see whether they're comfortable all the time, and on cold nights we have man sitting up all night to keep the fires going. We wouldn't have anything to happen to the animals ever If we could help it. We try to make them as near at home as we can--and give them the heat and coolness of their native lands"

 MT. Williamson said somebody had been saying the hedges ought to be trimmed.
 "A good manx~of them need it, and yet I have always rather admired things sort of like nature made them. It's pretty to have them one way at one time-and one another. But all the trimming has not been done that have wanted to do here, because simply have not had the time"

High Authority Looks for an Improvement in the.

Eastern iron market experts seem to share the feeling in Birmingham that pig iron has turned the corner and that improvement in price is inI dicated by the firm tone of the mar. ket, the small stocks and their poot assortment
 The Journal of Commerce says:
 "A much better feeling pervade q the pig iron market and the furnaces confidently look for a steady increase in demand and an improvement in price, In fact. Buffalo prices have already advanced. as the leading pro- ducers have retired, having tempo rarily from the market, having sair all the iron they were prepared to let go at the old quotations.
 The bulk of the business continues to be for immediate shipment, though interest in the fourth quarter Is ds veloping and some foundries hay been seeking to cover in a moderat' way for the balance of the year.

COAL INDUSTRY IS PICKING UP,
 SAYS [. ]. ROWE
Increase In General Industries Served By Alabama Coal Is Given as Reason for
 the Movement

Coal is picking ap. It also is turning the corner.
 E. J. Rowe of Adams. Rowe and Norman. said: Yes, coal is picking up some. The increase in the move ment is due to increase in general industry throughout the section served by Alabama coal. Every one appears to be making an effort to get new start
 The farmers have made good crops at record minimum of cost of production and feel much better The country merchants, in turn, have bor- rowed optimism from the farmers and are laying in larger stocks of merchandise in anticipation of bet ter fall business. The railroads are hauling more freight than in the re- cent past and using more coal.
 The betterrhent is largely seasonal, of course, due to the garnering ot another crop. Nevertheless it is sound and it looks to me as if conditions will continue to improve until mex, spring.
 "In the end, and as matter of course, there must be some more liquidation, especially in respect to the railroads where high freights and high wages still are out of joint with the things which have deflated How ever. the prospect is good. Coal has picked up some and seems to be head ed to further improvement as the season advances"
 Reports from mines show an in- crease in production. These reports are by no means complete, it being estimated that they are 30,000 to 4e,- 900 tons shy of actual production on account of failure of many collieries to report. Production, which aver aged about 175,0o0 tons weekly, ac- cording to reports, Is now running close on to 100000 tons. Adding the unreported coal the actual produc- tion is probably about 225,0oo to 2S0,- 900 tons compared with a normal of 800, 900. This is noticeable recovery from the low point.

NO 0vERCHARGE OF VISITORS DURING
 SEMI-cEMTENNlAL

< Hotel and restaurant manager, wore interviewed yesterday by mem bers of the semi centennial committed in regard to the prices they will charge during the celebration week, beginning August a.
 TheAcommittee is very dssireus that there be no, overcharges during the celebration, and they were promised the assistance of the hotel and res taurant men in preventing over- charge of the visitors, who will be in Birmingham, at that time.
 In view of the fact that the hotels will all be crowded and will probably be unable to accommodate the enor- nous crowds expected here for the event. the committee is contemplat- iAg interviewing all the boarding hduses and finding how many visi- tors they will be able to accommo- : date. It is also probable that 1t will be found necessary to request . num- Der of private families who are able to do so to care for as many visitors as possible.

GRANITE WILL BE USED IN BUILDING
 MASONIC TEMPLE
Invite President Harding to Lay Corner Stone During Semi -CentenniaI-Add-
 ed Cost $70,000

The directors of the Masonic tenn pie have decided to build the new temple out of granite and to make it one of the most imposing and most beautiful buildings in the south, according to announcement of F.. B. Keisesys president of the asso- citation, yesterday.
 The decision was reached at meeting of the temsie directors held Thursday night when important de- tails in connection with the new building were considered
 Cornerstone Laying
 It has also been decided to make an effort to have the corner s.one of the temple laid at the time or President Harding's visit in Octopef in connection with the semi-centeh- nial. A special committee was name q to confer with the semi -centenn nial workers and endeavor to make the corner stone laying one of the fea- lures of the week.
 The decision to build the temple of granite is very important satd MT. keiser yesterday We had con tenplated using Indiana limestone similar to that in the new Jemison building for the structure but 1t has now been definitely determined that the material used will be granite.
 e7O,OO0 Added Cost
 This will add Approximately 10,- coo to the cost of the building but the committee feels that it wants to make the building such as will be a credit not only to Birmingham but to Masonry everywhere.
 our architects tell us that they believe they can have the construc- ton far enough advanced that they can provide for laying tho cornef stone at the tune of President Hard ing's visit. It would have been an important and imposing event if held alone. but if the ceremony is in con neetion with the visit of the Presi- dent and the semi-centennial festivi- ties 1t will be very notable occa- sion indeed.
 If the semi ntennial committee can arrange to make 1t a feature of their programme the plan will prob ally go through as contemplated"

A large number of animals out at the Avondale zoo were just as envious yesterday as they could be.
 The reason was Miss Fancy" the elephant is going to get brand new roof on her house.
 Some criticism has been going on that the conditions at the park are not just as they should be for the animals--and that some of them were cold in the winter.
 J. P. Williamson park superinten- dent, interviewed on the question, had this to say:
 We are perfectly aware that every thing at the park is not perfect. But we are trying to do all we can for the animals. and the proof of our work is we have not lost any impor- tant animals with the exception of couple of bears in about two years.
 Superintendent 14 Years
 "I have been park superintendent for about IA years, and the park IS in better shape all the way round, than 1t has been in four or five years. Every time an animal gets sick, we send for our local veterinarian, ana he does his level best for them, It was on expert advice we shot the bears when they became ill
 We have never claimed to be ex- pert animal breeders or raisers, but we do the best we can, and we sue ceed a great deal better than many other cities. Of course, in every zoo some animals must be lost"
 These things MT. Williamson said need to be done at the park besides the roof that is to be put on the ele- phant house, and will be done as soon as may be;
 A roof over the coyote run.
 A winter house for some squirrels that are recent acquisitions.
 Some of the buildings must be made close to keep the animals warm buildings that have recently been put up.
