 MAY RE PROTECTED.

Washington, February 9.-(Special)- The Senate committee of agriculture adopted this afternoon resolution by Senator Harrison of Mississippi. which incorporated in the appropriation bill provision authorizing the treasury to assume farm loan bonds in a sum ap- proximating $20o, 100000.

 The Harrison resolution prevailed over strenuous opposition by New England members of the committee.

By HUGH ". ROBERTS
 Washington Bureau Tho Ase- Herald

Washington, February 9.-(SpeciaL)- The fact that millions have not starved iE Europe this winter is attributed by L. B. Musgrove of Jasper, guest of the Anti-Saloon league here today to the eff feet of prohibition.

For Good of
 the Community

JUST beneath the sod and the gray bark J of trees and shrubs natures labora- tories and machine shops are humming with preparation for another season of fruit, flowers and propagation of species.
 But for the work of preparation under the sod and the hide of bark-encrusted wood, the sun would be unable to call from it's recesses the plant food that pro- duces the leaves, the fruit and the growth, because the plant food would not have been made.
 When the turn does come in the indus tries of the land, no district shall have been better prepared than this. None has experienced smaller per capita of the idle than Birmingham and none has main- tained as great a percentage of produc- tion through the dull months. None will be found better shod for the next sprint forward. .s.1.i,leA, ,...,.........
 As if to add cheer to the coming Easter the Chickasaw Shipbuilding and Car Company has made it's maiden bookings for pressed steel cars for trunk lines. The Louisville and Nashville has ordered 300 gondolas and 300 coke cars. Acceptance of this order means that the new plant is so near completion as to be able to form ally enter business.
 This car plant is not only new indus try It is better than that. It is the ex- pansion of one already established It is synchronization of that other. It fits in with the other mills of the T. c. I. so nicely that it is difficult to tell where the car works begin and the fabricating mills stop. When shapes for cars are not in great demand, the mills will turn out other steel shapes, and vice versa. The promise is one of continuous operation.
 It is a great thing to have an increment of 25 pressed steel cars per diem 750 per month, each with capacity of 100000 pounds. Translate that into tons and see what it means in the way of transporta ton; what it signifies in the destiny of Birmingham as point of distribution. Think again of what a far cry it is from the ore and coal to the shops whence these finished opponents of mans ingenuity shall issue.
 Birmingham making cars and ships. Making both of them in her own yard of materials dug from mother earth in her own yard Wrestling the raw stuff from nature, welding and smelling and fabri- eating it until the car and the ships stand ready to take other finished products from the same mines and the same mills to the uttermost corners of this country and to those at the ends of.the high seas.
 Through the same yard river flows. It has broad bosom that is never coated with ice and bears burdens the year around in land locked safety. It flows to tidewater. Down its course we send our products to ships to carry them afar. In fact, we make ships here and float them to Mobile to be assembled there.
 The pressed steel car shops cost several millions. That is the smallest part of it. The big thing is that they mean another milestone in Birmingham's path toward
