The question was What is your opinion of Ersklne Ramsays gift to little ones named for him in the form of a hundred-dollar bank account?
 Where asked: Here and there downtown.
 The answers were:
 Kenneth Charlton. United States commissioner First National bank building: T think Erskines little novelty in this respect is one of the most noble things I ever heard of a man doing. The beauty in it lies in that he was free and open and tied no strings to his little gifts.
 Dr. Julius B. Cooper physician. First National bank building: Tt is a most commendable deed. It is giv- ing to little babies who will be citi- zens of tomorrow most valuable treasure and an opportunity unex- celled. We should be proud to know Mr. Ramsay"
 Mrs. stephen W. King. housewife. IF Sixty-first street: Such love as that manifested in a man will never which could show the bare heart of MT. Ramsay and what it contained any more than that
 F. A. Beavers, broker 2205 Morris avenue: ''That is my idea of whole- some benevolence. Those kids will be better citizens for it. Too bad, we haven't . lot more Erskines.'

5000 BURNERS ARE. ADJUSTED ID NEW. PRODUCT GAS
Local Company's Force of Men Visiting Every Home. More Air Is Needed in
 the Fuel Mixture

More than 5000 gas stove
 and burner connections have
 been adjusted by employees of
 the Birmin g h a m Railway, Light and Power company,
 who have been at work for the last two weeks adjusting
 gas connections to use the new
 gas economically.
 Burners and stoves are>b being adjust
 ed at the rate of 500 per day by crew of p men, Fred Underwood of the gas department of the power company said yesterday.
 E According to MT. Underwood, it will be but short time before the stoves and burners of all customers are ad- justed There are between 16,000 and 17,000 gas consumers in the city.
 Adjustment of gas stoves and bur-
 ners is simple matter" said Mir. Un- derwood. The process is the same as adjusting the carburetor of a gasoline engine, only much simpler. With the
 new gas, much lighter than the old, more air is necessary. The flow of gas is great deal faster with the new gas, and it is necessary to weight it down. to to speak.
 The auJustments being made by our men increase the amount of air and re- duce the amount of gas which flows through the orifice in the burner This changed mixture gives more heat for less money"
 Mir Underwood declared that the power company would have had the adjusters at work when the new gas first was thrown into the city mains but for the fact that it was not then
 known jus what adjustments would be needed.
 Gas Expert Hayes employed by the city department of public utilities and
 properties, is progressing rapidly in
 his work of checking the completed ad- justments made by the power com pany's adjusters, according to Commis- sioner J. E1lis Brown

COUNTY SCHOOLS
 SHORT 0F FUNDS School Term May Be Short ened, Declares County Su-
 perintendent Baker

Financial condition of the county schools is acute, owing to the large amount of taxes in litigation, accord ing to a statement of pr. N. R. Baker, county superintendent of education, who says that unless the situation is remedied it is probable that the school term of the county schools will be shortened.
 However, efforts are being made to secure money in order that the schools may continue their nine-month term. It is pointed out that although this is only the sixth month of the term. it will be necessary for he county to borrow money with which to meet the pay roll on March 1.
 @ In speaking of this matter pr. Baker said: Tt is well known that 1t has he- @come necessary to borrow funds in or der to conduct nine-month term each year. This loan is promptly wiped out each year during January. when prac- tically all taxes have just been paid in, and in the past it has been neces- sary to borrow only during the last month or two of the term. This year, however, the funds expected to pro- duce temporary surplus on which to draw later in the term have been with held by litigation, and now it becomes necessary to borrow to meet the pay roll of the sixth month.
 Tt is to be hoped that this matter can be determined soon, and that way will be found to provide the usual nine month term. It is believed that after this year, owing to the increase of the assessment values throughout the state, the amount of state funds will be in- creased to such an extent that this def icit now facing the county board will be gradu ally wiped out.n

Walmsley Urges More Use OF
 Alabama s Idle Water PoUer

Shackling to industry the great amount of water power which yearly flows through Alabama to the seas, wasted and unnoticed, would make tho state the greatest industrial area in the union within the next 10 years.
 This assertion was made yesterday to the Wednesday forum of the Civic Association by w. N. Walmsley, vice president and general manager of the Alabama Power company, who told the group of the wonderful possibilities in generating electrical energy from hydraulic power thus relieving the coal situation to a vast extent.
 The speaker told of the work of the Alabama Power company done in the past, and what it was doing at present with the aid of water power. and in- sisted that this means of energy was by far the most efficient for high standard of public service.
 Moving water has been utilized for centuries the speaker said, "by mankind to help him in his manual la bor, but while this has been done for years, 1t has been on rather more or less insignificant scale.
 But on the other hand, the use of steam, which has been developed in the memory of living man, has forged ahead by leaps and bounds to the ex- tent where steam is used generally for the creation of all electrical and me cEanical energy,
 Many say water power should be naturally very cheap. as water costs

nothing. This is not entirely correct. , In the installation of steam plant
 only units necessary for present de- mand need be installed In water power, it is different. All or nearlS | all the machinery must be installed
 at the beginning, no matter how little l the demand
 The economy comes, however, in | the great fuel savings the company lis able to realize. As the demand for power from the plant grows, the rates
 may be lowered to meet the lowered cost of production.
 There is a crying need for power. We hear it on all sides of us. Alabama lis blessed with many forceful water courses which could be converted into lveritable producing factors, and it Is just as much of crying waste to allow thousands of barrels of water to daily course its way to | the sea. when it could be serving a ] good purpose, as it would to allow thousands of tons of coal to drift down the Coosa river to the gulf and disap- pear into the sea"
 1 MT. Wamsley urged the business
 men of the city to make a closer study lof hydraulic power, and it's tremen-
 dous advantages, and said there was no
 limit to the possibilities of the state l in becoming the industrial leader Of l the world if the streams were madd
