 Company

We shall continue as a matter of jus be a division point of the Southeastern Express company said Charles E. Jones, secretary of the Birmingham Traf- fic Bureau.
 President Hockaday, answering our first protest against Birmingham being is placed at every large point we would have more offices than business. To this our answer is that there can be no eco nomical conduct of this system operating on the Mobile and Ohio and Southern railroads without recognition of Birming- ham as a strategic point of the first magnitude.
 ''It is an Alabama corporation char tered in Alabama's 8 chief city. We cannot see the wisdom of placing division super intendents in Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi and Tennessee and ignoring Alabama We cannot accept the proposi- ton that Atlanta Chattanooga, Charlotte and Meridian are more important or central points than Birmingham.
 Birmingham wants superintendent on the ground to whom complaints can be taken in person and to whom per- sonal application can be made for rates and the like We believe the Southeast ern Express company cannot in the end and that soon, fail to realize that Bir- mingham should have a division super intendent.'
 The reply from Atlanta of President and General Manager Hockaday to Mr. Jones is as follows:
 Your letter of the 9th is before me, and I thank you for the suggestions con- tained therein
 When again in Birmingham l will call for a conference. You will realize, l am sure, if we placed a superintendent at every large point we would have more officers than business, and we are study ing the territory in planning for loca- ton of the needed number of officials, i1 the interest of economy and efficiency, regarding all of which we shall be glad to confer with you and others.

Cooperation of the southeastern as sociation was asked by MT. Power, who declared the fight was to help the in dustry solve it's problems not only for the present but for the future.
 He said he wished to correct the i'm pression that the National Retail Bakers association and the American Association of the Baking Industry were at odds The two organizations are working together to build up the industry where it will be the first in America.
 The nickel loaf of bread has no
 right to live. the bakers were told ,by J. ". McClintOn of Chicago,
 secretary of the national organiza-
 ton. The idea is sick. he said, and
 the American association will be
 able to kill it by administering the
 proper medicine in the form of
 propaganda.
 "Do It With Bread, was the slogan
 suggested by Mir. McClinton to
 put over the baking industry. en-
 abling 1t to take it's rightful place
 in the business world.
 The bakers of the nation are harder hit when wheat fiuctuates in price than tie farmers who raise it, he maintained. Asking the southeastern association to. help the American as- sociation in it's fight to boost the in- dustry, Mir McClinton said co operation was badly needed.
 Gordon Smith, Mobile baker and ex- president of the national association, offered resolution which was adopted unanimously, pledging support to the national body and promising closer CO., operation.
 PROPOSED BREAD LAWS
 Dr. H. E. Bernard of the American Institute of Taking discussed the pro- posed bread laws now being compiled. He stated that every baker in the as- sociation should object because of bad features in the plan.
 This law or series of laws is being compiled by the federal food standa rds committee, Dr. Bernard stated, and is very limited in the laxity of it's regu- lations. For instance bread must be baked at a temperature not less than 800 degrees nor more than 500 degrees, This provision is impractical, he de- clared. and was supported by the del egates in this statement.
 All bakers were urged to fill out and return to the institute at once ques- tionnaires sent out to learn their views on the legislation proposed.
 B. B. Grennell of the Council of Bak- ing and Affiliated Organiza tions, Chi cago, discussed the present situation in regard to the industry. He con cured with MT. McClinton in the be- lief that the future must be looked to, rot the present nor the past

THE INSURANCE

Liability insurance to the amount of $5,000 for the injury or death of any person in jitney accident, or 310,000 for the injury of any number of per sons who might be hurt in an accident, is required under the ordinance, as at present drafted Any number of jit- neys operated by q single owner can be included in the same policy. Filing of the policy with the commission is required by the measure. No such policy can be cancelled until the board has been given five days mo- tice.
 Uron motion of MT. Burruss. the matter was referred to the legal de- partment to be put in shape within two weeks. The commission will act on the matter then.
 Adequate regulation of the jitneys and protection for the public was ad- vocated by MT Burruss as a matter of public safety, He secuted the charge that politics was concerned in the matter, and declared the ordinance was proposed as protective proposi- ton.
 NO PROTECTION
 What chance has a man to recover when he is injured by jitney?' asked the commissioner. "The welfare and safety of the people is involved in this pro blem.'
 As introduced by MT. Burruss, the ordinance provides that it be made effective April 30. Reference of the matter to the city attorney puts this date out of the question, however.
 M. A. Densmore, in support of the jitney men, declared the proposed ordf- nance would put the jitneys out of business and fill the coffers of the Bi' mingham Railway, Light and Pow CT company.
 FIGHT LOOMING
 Commissioner Burruss declared he wanted it clearly understood that he was not introducing the ordinance for the benefit of the street railway com pany. He said it was purely a case of helping to make the streets more safe for the public.
 Indications were yesterday that b. hot fight will be waged when the ordinance comes up for final action. The jitney men declare they will op- pose the measure on the ground it is discriminatory. They say jitneys would be required to obtain insurance when other automobiles would hot be- Jitneys were classed as a public utility by MT. Burruss, who said that removed any question of discrimina- tion.

CIGARS ARE NO CHEAPER

There is no relief in sight for
cigar smokers who have hoped that
the price of their luxury would 60
down soon, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. That is especially
true of the cigars with Sumatra
wrappers, ranging in price from
eight cents to two for a quarter.
In fact, Sumatra wrappers are 60
ing to he exceedingly scarce, for in
the foreign markets there is dis
tinct shortage of Sumatra tobacco,
especially that of the American mark
or grade.
Holland is the great clearing
house for the international users of
Sumatra tobacco. Every week or so
a large quantity of tobacco is put up
at auction. Bids are sealed, as are
contract bids in this country.
The entire output of Sumatra to-
bacco this year is about one half of
that of former years In addition
there is an unusual shortage of to-
baco of the grade in Europe, so the
bidding is high. Only about half
crop was planted this year, which
helps 20 account for the shortage.

VALUE OF A TECHNICAL
EDUCATION

4 technical education is the
best insurance against hard
times. In earning capacity, it
may equal an estate of $4,000.
For the unframed are the posi-
t;ons of poverty and obscurity.
Times are hard in Suoth Caro-
lima, but the cost of an education
at Clemson College is compare
lively low,-sufficiently low to be
within the reach of any ambitious
young man in South Carolina.
Scholarships, free tuition and
the payment by the United States
Government to R. o. T. c stu
dents, still further reduce the
cost.
Do not allow the financial diff
fculties to keep you from enter
ing college this fall to prepare
yourself for the opportunities
that lie ahead.
