To the Citizens Of
Amarillo

Is has been the earnest endeaVor OF the Amarillo Gas
Company and Panhandle Pipe Line Company to at all
times maintain continuous service to their
and spare any place to arrive at this end Ii
so happened, however, that Wednesday afternoon,
February lst at about 1880 o'clock ice accumulated in
six-inCh line in the field, caused from the changing OF
pressure and expanding of the resulting in the drop
of considerable gasoline and moisture which created
frost the sides of the pipe and eventually closed the line
off altogether Ii took thirty minutes to get the first
plug of ice thawed but there proved to be another
The second was much harder locate and thaw out II
took much time that supply in mains
ely utilized and the city necessarily of gas for
several hours until $3.50 p. m when able to turn
gas back into main line.
We left the gas off longer than necessary as to al
low time for all of to be advised of the fact
that their should be off that gas might be
turned back into the city.
We very sorry that even this slight interruption
of your supply of gas should occur but everyone
grateful and willing to accept unavoidable cir
cumstance. We wish to thank patrons for the whole
hearted cooperation given

SPIRIT OF THE WEST

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 Who shall say that love for the west and rev. erence for it's traditions are growing less strong in the hearts of the American people?
 One so blind or so ill informed as to have entertained such thought would have done well few days ago to have attended Seattles pub lie reception to Ezra Meeker, on the occasion of the pioneers 91st birthday.
 Literally tens of thousands of men and wom- en who still cherish in song and story the deeds of earlier generation were glad to honor the man who Helped to blaze trail into the Puget sound country, coming by way of the Oregon trail with an OK team 68 years ago.
 To Ezra Meeker belongs the distinction of having been among the first few hundreds of men who crossed the American continent by OK team. This was in 1852.
 In 1906, at the age of 76, the veteran plains man again drove yoke of steers and prairie schooner from his home in Washington across the country to New York. He was the guest of President Roosevelt in Washington, D. C., and his quaint equipage attracted attention in cities and towns across the continent.
 Many are the stories told of Meekers exploits and unfaing thoughtfulness for the welfare of others. An incident worthy of notice occurred during the World war, when the 87-year-old patriot planted garden from which he realized s287 which he turned over to the Red Cross.
 He is among the last of those hardy souls whose faith and works made possible the glor- ious west of today. We rejoice with Seattle in doing honor to this pioneer and to the mem ory of those who came with him in an earlier day.

BIG TELESCOPE FOR HARVARD

By Science Service.
 Swarthmores Pa-One of the largest tele- scopes in the world will be put in operation within few months at the Harvard college ob- servatory in Cambridge, according to an an- nouncement made at meeting of the American tory in Swarthmore college. A reflecting tele- scope of 50 inches aperture exceeded in size by only two other reflectors, has been tested and found satisfactory for special types of in- vestigatons of the stars and planets.
 The telescope was built in England by A. A. Common about 30 years ago, and sold to the Harvard observatory in 1902. It was tested by the Harvard astronomers and found to be un- suited for the particular type of work for which it was purchased, that is for visual and photo graphic star measurements. The telescope was abandoned and has remained stored away on the grounds of the Harvard observatory in Cam bridge.
 Meanwhile, the modern science of astrophys- ics has devised many new uses for telescopes,
 
 problems in which the light and heat from a star, rather than the size of photographic image, is the thing measured It is for such problems as these, some of which are now of the highest importance to astronomers, that the tel escope with the five-foot mirror, once adjudged useless because it would not produce small round images, is to be restored.
 The type of mounting used for the Harvard telescope as described by Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of the Harvard observatory, at the meeting, is different from that of any of the other large telescopes. It's unique feature is the arrangement that permits the observer to work in closed observing room, always in a fixed position and the star light is brought to him from the principal reflector by means of a system of secondary mirrors.
 The 6O-inch telescope at Harvard is exceeded in size by two telescopes on the Pacific coast. One is the 100-inch reflector at Mount Wilson, and the other is the 72-inch reflector which be- longs to the Canadian government and is locat- ed at Victoria, B. c. Mount Wilson's second largest reflector is of the same size as the Har- yard telescope.

TWO BEST YEARS FROM AN
 INVESTMENT STANDPOINT

Part of 1920 and all of 1921 were trying pc riods in many respects. They bore hard on mems faith. That Birmingham is a good field for investment, and is so regarded both by those seeking to place new capital and by those al- ready doing business here, has been demon- strated in the past two years as never before. The record of investment in new and going corporate concerns in the last four years has been as follows:
 In 1918, $5,695,ooo; in 1919, $6,SOO,ooo; total for the two years, SIP, ,495,OO0.
 In 1920, $15,374,Oo0; in 1921, $11 ,29s,O ,OoO; total for the two years, $26, ,Oo0.
 The investment of new capital in the last two years shows more than hundred per cent in- crease over that of the previous two years. A large part of the increase went into such suc- cessful concerns as the Stockham Pipe and Fit tings company, the Birmingham Water Works company the Alabama Home and Jefferson County Building and Loan companies, Steel Cities Chemical company and others. These Bir- mingham concerns had grown with the city and expansion was the natural outcome of the suc- cess achieved here

A REAL NOBLEMAN

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 In the death of Baron Rosen passes one of the really notable figures in the political life of the last half century. Russian in nationality, it was given to him, in his diplomatic career, to know many lands and many peoples, to understand America and Mexico as clearly as China or Ja- pan. Whether at Tokio or at Washington, whether at Peking or at Mexico City, his inter- national mind supplemented by his inter-racial heart made him highly acceptable to all govern ments at whose capital he was assigned.
 Baron Rosen was Russian minister at Tokio at the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese war war that his country was thrust into by rapa- cious bureaucrats at Petrograd and against his advice and effort to prevent it. He was one of the Russian peace commissioners at Portsmouth who negotiated the treaty that concluded that war. At Washington, he represented his coun- try before and after America entered the Euro pean war; - He saw the Russian tide rise and sweep from power the Romanoffs, saw Lenin wear and tear Russia into fragments, lament ing the tragedy pognantly and yet impotent to help the country for 40 years honored by his service.
 Among tragedies incident to the breakup of Europe within the last seven years there are few personal ones that evoke keener or wider sym pathy than that of this Russian nobleman, who, in his old age, was made to feel that all that life seemed meant for had failed.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
WELL OFF FINANCIALLY.

Jefferson county is far from bankrupt" stated M. V. Henry, county treasurer, yester- day >''In spite of all the reports going around that the county is in bad financial shape and unable to pay for this and that, the records of this office show that every obligation is being met promptly and fully, and the county is in good shape.
 "Of course in county as large as Jefferson it takes huge sums of money to operate its va ried departments, and to care for its manifold obligations and very often it is necessary to trim here and there in order to keep it within its income, but on the whole the county is getting along very satisfactorily from a financial stand point.
 "The recent action of the board of revenue in making cuts here and there is to be commend ed, as showing that they are trying to keep the county expenses within its income as nearly as possible. They are doing wise thing in ask ing the voters to allow use of $1 100000 of the proposed $3,000,000 issue of road bonds for payment of the floating debt and other obiga- tions instead of confining all of it to road work. If this is authorized it will be big help and the county obligations will be greatly de- creased"

Readers and Authors
From the Chicago Herald and Examiner.

Is American literature improving? Opinions differ. Many people will tell you that we have no historians today to compare with Bancroft no essayists to rival Emerson, no poets on the level of Whitman, no novelists to be mentioned in the same breath with Mark Twain and How els, short story writers who touch the heights of Poe or o. Henry.
 All of which may be very true. Yet if the report of the librarian of the Chicago public li- brary is indicative, American literature will im- prove.
 For Librarian Roden says we are reading better books. The call is increasingly for the best of what we have. And it is certainly true that, as the taste of the country improves, the quality of it's literary work will improve also.
 You cannot, according to the Bible, make bricks without straw. And certainly you can not make good books in profusion without good readers. True, an artist must to some extent develop his own appreciators; but the dead weight of a cheap demand will pull down as- piration nevertheless. Genius breaks through all bonds, sometimes; but talent is modified and directed largely by the circumstances that sur round it.
 If we slowly growing interested in better books, our books will slowly grow better in re- sponse to our appreciation. Capacity and ambi- tion are not synonymous. Neither by any means are achievement and material reward But they mesh into each other like cogs in machinery. And general education is the force that makes the wheels go round.
 As we think so we are. And as we read so to considerable extent do we think. It was not coincidence that Shakespeare wrote in the intellectually ardent days of Elizabeth. Without the uplift of the spirit of England in those days, even his powers could not have been raised to the final summits of their accomplishment

HEAVY SHIPMENTS ABROAD OF
 ALABAMA PRODUCTS

Five ships left the port of Mobile during De- cember for the Pacific coast, laden with steel and iron products of the Birmingham district and it's neighboring districts of Gadsden and Anniston. It is estimated that this movement totaled 25,ooO tons. each ship carrying about 5000 tons. N
 On the last day of the year ship left Mo bile for Kobe and Itura, Japan, with 6,o0o tons of Ensley rails and track accessories, carrying besides 800 tons of ammonium phosphate from the by-product works of the Tennessee com pany. Other ships had preceded this one to the erient with similar cargoes in December.
 As if to indicate that the year 1922 is to be as good one as 1921 in export and Pacific coast business, it is announced that the steam CIT Chickasaw City and Bessemer City, two of the first ocean freighters built at Mobile of Birmingham steel, are to put in at Mobile this month for cargoes for the orient, while it is known that additional cast iron pipe mO ements are scheduled for the west coast.
 The new cast iron pipe foundry, which began business January l, starts with large order for its special pipe for Honoluls
 Birmingham exported 15o,ooo toss of steel

LITERATURE IN RUSSIA
c. E. Bechhofer, in the Dial.

It is difficult for anybody outside Russia to form picture of the incredibly chaotic state of life there. One has to imagine life bereft of every kind of convenience and luxury and to add to this the difficulties of obtaining food, fuel and lodging, as we'll as the terrific mental demoralization of the whole country. Life in- side soviet Russia is a struggle for existence in the literal sense of the words. It is not as if writers there had been simply reduced to un- accustomed poverty, as has been the case in so many countries of central Europe. Worse than this, they have to spend all their days in strug- gling to obtain food and shelter for the morrow. In these circumstances it would be foolish to ex- pect any kind of finished work on large scale to come out of Russia. This explains why it is that virtually everything that has been written in Petrograd and Moscow during the last three years has been fragmentary, hysterical, and, for the most part, immature.

LUXURY AND WAR

Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, in the North
 American Review.
 If it were not for the luxuries and pleasures of life, men would not congregate in cities, there woul6 be no necessity for foreign trade, and, therefore, there would not be great competition among nations to increase their foreign trade. Neither would there be any great desire for in- creased territory and consequent increased wealth. This means that there woud not be much cause for war among the nations :. Let anyone walk on Fifth avenue, New York, from Twenty-third street to Fifty-ninth street, where land is more valuable than in almost any other place upon the earth, and he will see that three-quarters of the shops are for the sale of women's finery and jewery, and, in general, of articles of luxury. In that small area, you can get better conception probably, than in any other area in the world, of equal size, of the fundamental causes of<war.

BRANDON OF ALABAMA

"It is gratifying to Judge Brandons friends to see that the leading article of the current number of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Record, published at Evanston, H., appears under the title, Brandon of Alabama said George Lewis Bailes, former assistant city attorney.
 "The article carries unusually good, clear, two-colump photograph and cut line: Gen. Will liam Brandon, Alabama, Mu. The general is an S. A. E. of the mother chapter, University of Alabama. The Record is the official publica- tion of the national organization, s. A. E.
 "The article refers to the unusually good feeling of political nature in Alabama, and says that Judge Brandon will be the states next governor unless all signs fail. The article also recounts Judge Brandon's election to the egis- lature, his military service and other achieve ments.'

CALICO AT 75 CENTS

T can remember back wonder when was a boy on my fathers plantation up in Limestone county" said Wyndham Mason, "when calico sold at 75 cents yard. Those were the days when the leather was tanned either on the home place or in the neighborhood and the leather was greased to make it soft
 "The shoes were begged Many and many 8 time have stopped in play to cut protruding peg that had carved half inch or so into my foot.
 "There will never be level of all prices. The man who waits on everything to get in order before he acts will never act. He who cannot stir until conditions are in apple-pie order never does very much stirring.
 Conditions have so improved, and we are so far from the low point that man who does not look forward ought to share the fate of Lots wife"

A LIVE CHAMBER

"That young chamber of commerce at Thors- by is live body said Charles E. Jones of the Traffic Bureau. Ut organized or reorgan- ized about year ago. The Birmingham Traf- fife Bureau helped the Thorsby live wires start the chamber, but it has needed no help since.
 "The Thorsby chamber is to have big meet ing Thursday night at the Thorsby Institute in celebration of the past year and laying plans for the new one. That these plans will result in attainment those who know the Thorsby folk will not doubt"

WHY FORBID DANCING AT
 EAST LAKE PARK?

Yesterday, by vote of three to two, the city Commission turned down resolution to permit dancing at East Lake under the direct supervi- sion of Commissioner Harrison, who has charge of the city's parks and playgrounds
 If it is necessary to carry out his determina- tion to provide healthful amusement for the people of Birmingham by permitting them to dance at Pershing Pier, which was built by pub lie funds at cost of 1000, and as for being of any practical use at present is not worth five proposal to popular vote. The Age-Herald be- Moves it would be approved overwhelmingly.
 In the first place, those commissioners who oppose dancing moral grounds should not for such trivial and unconvincing reasons as have been advanced. MT. Harrison is not going to do anything that would hurt the public morals of Birmingham. He desires to operate a city is demand for it and it is not fair to permit dancing practically without any sort of super vision in allparts of the city and deny the young people of Birmingham opportunity to enjoy themselves by dancing at East Lake. He pro- poses to exercise due watchfulness and keep the municipal dancing pavilion free from objection able features. Young women, and young. men, as well, would be in better environment there than they would while seeking amusement else where, often in questionable resorts.
 Operation of Pershing Pier as dancing pa- vilion is also desirable from a business point of view. MT. Harrison thinks the pavilion would produce revenue of about $1O,O0O year. Last year East Lake park had deficit of $14,000 which depreciation of buildings and equipment increased tolapproximately $17o0o. If Persh- ing Pier is opened as a dancing pavilion East Lake park can be run without loss, and possibly at profit to the city, as dancing will draw larger crowds and mako concessions leased by the city more profitable.
 The attempt to regulate public morals in Bir- mingham is being carried too far. It is creating resentment Commissioner Harrison and Mrs. Echols, who voted for this resolution, have taken the sensible view of this matter. If the people of Birmingham want municipal dance hall at East Lake, and it is evident that they do, they should demand it.
