Neal Complies Sketch Of
 Alabana Hydroelectricity

beauty for the pleasure of Alabam-
 ans.
 James w. Neal, chief of the south ern field division of the federal pow CT commission, has compiled the fol- lowing memorandum bearing on he history of the Coosa development and the Alabama Power company in Ala bama:
 . HydrOelectricity in Alabama
 Some 15 years ago, James Mitchell, a pioneer in hydroelectric develop ment in the south, became impres sed with the possibilities of developing water power in connection with pro- posed improvements of the Coosa river for the purpose of navigation, and worked out scheme for com bined utilization of this river as a source of power for the industrial development of northern Georgia and Alabama, and as a highway for trans pcrting the products of this section.
 The state of Alabama had undcr- taken navigation improvements on the Coosa river as early as 1923, and appropriations were made by Con gress in 1928: but these early im- provements were merely temporary in character. Later on, permanent construction was undertaken in the upper rlVGr, between Rome, tTd. ana Wilsonville, Ala, and the Alabama river, into which the Coosa river flows, was improved from the mouth of the Coosa to the gulf. Between these improved sections was a stretch of 116 miles abounding in shoals and rapids, and so costly of improve- ment that the government hesirated to undertake the work. It was in this section that James Mitchell pro- posed to build the dams which would not only make the river navigable, but also produce thousands of water horsepower.
 Lock 12 Dam
 Since the Coosa was a navigable river. 1t was necessary to obtain the approval of Congress to the scheme proposed An act authorizing the construction of dam and power plant at Lock 12 was enacted in 1907, and the plant was constructed and placed in operation in 1913. In 1912, bill for the construction of sec ond dam and power plant to be To- cated at Lock Is passed both houses of Congress. This was at the begin ming of the controversy over. water power Legislation, which was to last for nearly 10 years; the President vetoed the bill, and further plans were set aside to await the time when a governm ental policy atppre- ciative of the necessities of power

i development as well of the public in- terest should be determined. Before such policy was determined, James Mitchell died, his plans still unful- filled.
 Water Power Bill
 On June 10, 1920. the President. signed the federal water power act--' measure which had finally been evolved out of the controversies of the preceding 10 years. No better illustration can be had of the value of this legislation than the fact that on June 27, two and one e-half monrha from the date on which its revisedI application had been presented to the federal power commission Under the new law, a license was issued to the Alabama Power company for pro- ject at Duncan's Rifle, and work was again taken up along the lines proposed by James Mitchell mo-e, than 10 years before. Four days after issuance of license, construction be-. gan, and in two years time 1t Is ex- pccted that this dam, to be known, hereafter as Mitchell dam, will be- completed, and the plant placed in operation.
 Features of Dam
 The dam will be of modern con- crete construction. gravity type, with, an extreme length of 1900 feet, sur mounted with Taintor gates 15 feet high and will develop a head of 6Si feet. The initial installation will bei two 24,000 horsepower vertical units with turbines of single runner type. directly connected to the generators and with provision for the installa- ton of three additional units as the demands of the market may require- The switching and transformer sta - tions will be of the outdoor type. and power will be transmitted at 10000 volts. The transmission line will connect with the existing line of the company at Lock 12. about 12 miles distant.
 New Improvements
 The companys plans introduce two noteworthy departures from previous designs of similar plants. One of these is in the location of the units which will be on the upstream side of the dam, each in a separate inclosure and on it's own concrete foundation, and e with electrical connection through a gallery competing the sew eral units. The other is in the design of the draft tubes. An improvement is introduced here which will reduce loss of head during a period of high water by causing the draft tubes to discharge upward at the toe of the dam. Any one who has observed water discharging over a dam in time of flood has noted the so-called standing wave," which forms near the base of the dam when the dy- na mic energy of the water flowing at high velocity along the toe of the

By this feature ad- vantage will be taken of the differ ence in head between the top of the standing wave and the surface of the water at the draft tube outlets. difference which may reach 10 feet at times of flood. as
 The reservoid created by the dam will have an area of about coco acres. The company will clear this area of all timber and brush so that in addition to removing obstructions to navigation it Is expected that lake of considerable scenic beauty will be formed which may in time become public recreation resort. Since the lake Is located in region where malaria is prevalent the com pany will also take precautions against mosquito breeding, and has already installed several hatcheries for the propagation of "top-feedinK minnows," a small fish which de- str oys' the mosquito by feeding upon the larvae as they float at the sur face of the water.
 Navigation Provided For
 The license issued to the Aiabama Power company provides that when ever a definite project Is adopted for the improvement of this section of the river by the federal government the company will install the neces- sary locks and channels for nsvisa- ton. A waterway will thus be pro- vided without expense to the public; territory otherwise inaccessible will be open for development, and tho needed electrical power will be pro- vided for the industries of the state w ithout draft on It's diminishing coal supply.

AMERICAN LEGION HAS MEMBERSHIP
 DRIVE UNDER WAY
Soldiers Position on Compen- sation Has Been Settled By Them and Conqress--To
 Increase Legion

Birmingham Post No. 1 of the American Legion will begin mem bership drive Monday morning, July IS. Following action taken by the executive committee Friday after noon, committee on membership met yesterday afternoon to make definite plans for putting the Amer ican Legion badge upon the lapel of 5000 ex-serWce men III Greater Birmingham, and at the same time to bring the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of these 5000 men into the woman's auxiliary of the Legion.
 The news from Washington, during the last two or three days, shows the adjusted compensation bill, or the American Legion fourfold plan, pop ularly called the bonus bill" has struck snag. Practically all the week was given to ahlf- hearted de- bate of the bonus bill in the United, States Senate. President Harding win send message regarding the bill to Congress next week. Defi- mite action is expected to follow the reading of the Presidents message.
 senate Indifferent
 The Associated Press said yesterday that less than twenty Senators fol- lowed the bonus bill debate on the floor. Seceratry Mellon sent his wait it-a-while" letter to the Senate last week, in which he urges that bonus legislation would be inadvis- able at the present time.
 But Senator McCumber, North Da- lSota, a stanch supporter of the bo- nus bill, calling upon the republican party to make good its platform pledge to the eX-service men of the country, said yesterday: "1 have heard neith- CT the President nor the Secretary of the Treasury declare that to have the bonus bill become operative July l. 1922--and this is the date contem- plated for 1t to become effective would be too early a date"
 Calls for Action
 The Birmingham Post No. l com mander urges all his buddies to re- member their representatives in Con- gress are interested in their attitude toward any piece of pending legisla- ton; that their business is to reflect public opinion. He insists that if public opinion, as shown by the ex- service men of Birmingham and the whole country, is cool or only luke- warm, then they cannot reasonably expect the senators and representa- tives to give full support to that measure. He believes that this fact explains why the Associated Press says less than twenty senators fol- lowed the bonus bill debate last week.
 The Birmingham Legion commander believes that if 1t were shown that the ex-soldiers in Birmingham are 100 per cent behind the legion's leg islative programme very differ- ent reports would be coming from Washington. He believes that the Alabama delegation should be re- minded that the men here are square ly behind the adjusted compensation bill seeking to relieve financially our disabled buddies.
 Question Settled
 He insists that, so far as any dis cussion of the merits of the measure

goiI cure for the thousand ills that mortal flesh is heir to-" And for this there Is a reason.
 Bill's type of physique is of the fence rail variety, and heretofore one of his endorsements has been that when anything got the matter with his torso he could never tell his phy- sician whether the pain was in his back or his belly, they were so close together. Bill attributed this to his lack of appetite, stating not even the most tempting of viands had any appeal for him. But since Bill has taken up golf he says the quantity of rations he devours daily would keep a European family for a week, and he points to his "tummy' with pride, having noted a two-inch in- crease in his waist line.
 Bill is some golfer, and such lit- tie thing as ball Is immaterial to him. for he will take a swipe at everything that comes his way while on the links. And he is some swiper.

Five negroes gained their way to freedom from the city jail at Ensley about 7:10 o'clock last night when they loosened bars over window in their ward of the jail and climbeh down from second story window by means of rope which they had made from the covering on their beds.
 A similar jail delivery was made through the same window about q year ago. The bars were fastened hack into the brick wall but Ensley police officials stated last night that they did not believe they, had been fastened securely.
 The negroes were seen climbing down the rope from the second story window by persons who were passing the jail at the time. They reported it immediately to the officials but the negroes had made their escape from the scene when the officers ar- rived.
