GRANT O|L MILLS
 TRANSIT GRINDING
Privilege Means Cotton Seed Cake Handled on Through
 Rate

Hereafter the cotton oil mills of Birmingham crushing cotton seed and converting cotton soed cake into cot ton seed meal. will have the right of grinding in transit.
 That means, say the mill men, the rate on the cotton seed cake from point of origin to destination, when converted into cotton seed meal will be through rate instead of two local rates.
 The tariff sheets have been re- ceived by the Birmingham Traffic Bureau, and the saving arising out of tho substitution of the through for the two local rates can be made from new on.
 c. l.. Bum, general manager of the Traffic Bureau, estimates the swing will be more than 25 per cent of the old freight rate.
 This is the second privilege of this nature granted Birmingham in the past two weeks. The other was the right of fabricating iron and steel products in transit. That allows local steel working plants to convert steel into finished form and forward to destination at the through rate from the point where the raw steel is purchased.
 This advantage will apply to sew eral large structural steel plants here, including Ingalls Iron Works Johnson and Thompson Steel com pany, Southern Bridge company. Bir- mingham Steel corporation and others.

RELIEVED OF WAR
 BURDEN, GERMANS
 DEVELOP BUSINESS
Hate Americans Less Than They Do the French and English, Dr. Glenn
 Tells Forum

While Germany lost the war, it now seems that she is going to win the peace in the opinion of pr. c. B. Glenn. superintendent of the Birming- ham schools, who spoke before the civic forum at the weekly luncheon of the Civic association yesterday at the Hillman hotel, on his recent trip to Europe.
 An educated Belgian whom I hap pened to meet coming back from Ger many explained the advantage which Germany has over the other Euro. pean nations very clearly" Dr. Glenn said. This man pointed out that while the French and Belgian fac- tories were for the most part idle, the German plants were ali in opera tion.
 "The reason for this, he said, was tha' the Germans are paying the in- demnity in goods. and are thus talk ing business from the factories of the other countries. They have another
 
 are being heavily taxed to build ar mics and navies, but the Germans are relieved from this by the terms of the peace.
 ''The Germa' people have a con tempt for the French. and they nor tally hate the English, so in compari- son to their regard for those two na- tions they like the Americans"
 Dr. Glenn declared that while the integrity of the nation has not been proven good, the Germans with whom he came in contact on his trip seemed honest and the shops were prohibited by law from selling any article as genuine which did not come up to standard. The German crops this fall will be good from all indica- tions. Dr. Glenn said.
 The percentage of womene in the crowds on the streets of Berlin is much larger than it is In American cities" Dr. Glenn continued, and everywhere there Is a lack of man power evident. The street crowds are not as well dressed as they are in America, and the children were almost all of them barefooted. and many of the grown people did not wear shoes"
 R. Dupont Thompson presided at the lunch Announcement was made by Charles l.. Harold, secretary man. ager of the Civic Association, that Charles F. Hatfield, president of the National Association of Convention bureaus. would address a smoker of the association to be held on the night of October 21

COMMERCE BOARD BRINGS " NEW
 BUSINESSES HERE
Morrow Urges More Members So Organization Can At- tain a Greater Stride In
 Building of the City

"Our dinner c ubs are serving good purposes, but the Chamber of Commerce is the oldest and the parent of all," said Hugh Morrow, member of the board of directors, and Monday host to the 150 mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce gathered at this weeks luncheon.
 After everything Is said and done, it is the Chamber of Commerce that brings the meat into camp and has been doing 1t straight along The members of the chamber should lean on it more than they do. It is bet ter equipped than 1t has ever been. It is ready to serve. Its members should avail themseIves of the service more than they do."
 Needs 10000
 R. A. Porter, president of the chamber, spoke of the great things which the chamber could do if it had 10000 members, and the financlal backing which that would mean. You have no idea he said, "of the many worthy projects beneficial to the com munity which the chamber could ac- complish if more adequately fin- anced." He insisted that the cham Der was there to be used by the members and that they should use it whenever they had need or prob lem requiring aid.
 Manager O. l.. Bum declared the chamber, among other of it's years accomplishments had succeeded in bringing TIT new businesses to Bir- mingham. This past week the cham Der had been busy on two railroad freight matters of the utmost inn portance to Birmingham. It was do- ing for Birmingham in big ways without noise or furry, but it's work was counting for the community" Bring your troubles to us" he asked the members.
 Looms ImpressiveIy
 Dr. II. NJ. Edmonds, director,i de- clared the more he travelled and saw of other cities, the bigger and greater Birmingham loomed up in his mind. Leo Loeb, who was recently in Paris. told about the thorough man ner in which the Partisan makers of boot and shoe. hat and gown styles accomplished their end by sticking to outlined programmes, and urged con- centration of effort on the part ot members of the chamber to bring about results in Birmingham.
 Short talks were also made by Mur ray Brown, George McClery. John H. Frye, Thomas A. McGough and others.
 It was d very enjoyable affair. with just enough wit and humor inter- spersed with the serious to make both the more appreciated.
