 In certain place in Oklahoma there was young lawyer who had the proudest spirit of any man in town. He had many friends, but he never called on them for advice or help. even when things were going very badly with him In business. He padded his own canoe, and for a long time, it seemed. he padded it very badly The fact of the matter was, he was saving money for cer- tain purpose. He piled up his little fund dollar by dollar while the neigh bors were plying his wife for her lack of pleasures. and when finally he had enough money he put 1t all into farm of 160 acres. in district remote from the oil country
 Tt will be a place to crawl to if things go too bad in the city," he laughingly told his friends.
 He struggled on with his law busi- ness and bided his time. At last the oil men moved his way. He sold a lease for few acres of his land and the drills bit into a lake of oil Actually and literally, overnight. he became millionaire.
 And then, came his really unhappy days. He would go to his little of flee and sit and sit and sit; law busi- ness which came his way he turned over to others. Down at the bank he knew, checks were coming in for deposit to his account. not only weekly, but daily. they were checks not in the hundreds, Sbut in the tens of thousands At one time he was greatly worried to discover that he had s4U,O00 more in bank than he

YERKES TELLS REAL
 CAUSE OF TROUBLE
 IN WEST VIRGINIA
Says Union Miners Resent Success of Operations In the Open Shop
 Counties

The interest of ,the public is so intense in the fightig in West Vir- ginia coal mfre fields that sight has been lost of tlc real causes of the situation existing there, according to s. L. Yerkes, who resided in that sec tion prior to coming to Birmingham, and who spent much time there dur ing the war in the government serv- ice with the fuel administrations
 Mir. Yerkes declares that the source of the trouble is the fact that certain counties in West Virginia are union ized and in certain other adjacent counties, the miners work on the open shop plan and refuse to join the union. Peace and quiet and req sonably steady work usually pre- vail in the fields where the miners are not unionized, MT. Yerkes de- clares, and this enrages the union organizers who have always tried to intimidate the non-u union miners into joining the organization. He states that the present serious strife is caused by union miners marching on the non union miners in an adjoin ing county to force them to join the union, and that the open shop work CTS are resisting this invasion.
 In illustration of this point MT Yerkes declared that an analogous situation would exist in Alabama If the miners of Bibb county should be unionized and go on a strike, and the miners of Jefferson county re- fused to join the union and continue to work, being satisfied with their pay and conditions. and the miners of .Bibb county armed and marched on Jefferson county to force the Jeff

AUTOMOBILE DESIGNED TO JUMP
 The Jumping stunts of automobiles in the movies are the result of trick photography. There has been pro- duced in France 4 light car that does many of these spectacular perform ances. not only pictorially. but ac- tually, as vividly shown In the Popu- lar Mechanics Magazine by half
 dozen illustrations accompanied by a descriptive article. It is a small
 light car with a speed of 25 miles an
 hour. The particular feature that enables the car to negotiate all ob- stacles with impunity is the manner of connecting the car to the rear wheels. It has been compared with the action of the human knee. A jumper bends his legs at the knees. and straightens them out rapidly to get the effect of spring. The rear wheels do the same thing. On strik- ing an obstacle the wheels rise inde- pendently of the rest of the car. which remains horizontal. Under test, when driven against an obstacle 70 inches high, with an approach sloping at 40 degrees, the car was lifted to a height of 57 inches. and landed at distance of 20 feet. all four wheels striking the ground simultaneously. On land- ing, the spring in the wheel connec- tion cushions the concussion oi the bling the action of jumpers knee wheel with the ground again resem
