George F. Davis, president of the Automobile club, led the fight for the proposed route extending down the old Louisville and Nashville right-ofway, through Helena and Hardwood. He called on half dozen or more citizens to present the advantages of the valley route. Capt Frank S. White, armed with number of petitions, including one from the Shelby county board of rev enue, single-handed fought for the rentention of the present route over Red and Shades mountains.
 Barriers tO Route
 The burden of the argument of those advocating the change was that the mountain route is a danger ous one and that the one proposed would serve larger population. Captain White launched the guns of his attack on the impracticability Of building a road down the old rail- road right-of-way and read at length from the report of George Hunting ton Clark. who stated that barriers to the construction of the road along that route were clearly prohibit tive"
 Commissioner S. R. Batson presided and by agreement each side was lim- ited to 50 minutes. Mir. Davis first called on George r. Peters, property owner. of the southern part of the county, who declared that the valley road would be a blessing to that sec tion of the county. He said that while the mountain road is a great scenic route. it is dangerous on wet, winter nights"
 c. B. Clark, construction engineer, stated that for hauling purposes the Red and Shades mountains highway is impracticable.
 COroner's Record
 Danger of the Red mountain route was pointed out by D. c. Ewing. "Go up and get the coroner's record said Mir Ewing, "and find the toll of this road. A man must know it like his "a, b, c's,' especially in the night time. or he Is in danger of his life." He de- clared that it was almost criminal to allow a stranger to go over the road without warning.
 The question of the stand taken py the Civic Association on the high way route was raised at this pont. MT. Ewing declared that he was ap- pointed by the association to speak in behalf of the proposed route. and that a committee, appointed to study

on either side Is wider.
 Commissioner Batson stated tn answer to Captain White that the Birmingham chapter of the American Association of Engineers has in- dorsed the new route. l.. H. Ellis stated that a delegation 25 strong was present from Shelby county but that Captain White had fully covered the arguments in favor of the high way over the mountain.
 Speakers Cheered-
 Cheering greeted the speakers on both sides and it was difficult for the chairman to keep order at times because of the enthusiasm shown for or against the proposed route.

international Mercantile Marine

Unofficial figures made public in the
financial district yesterday indicated
that the International Mercantile Ma
rines Company in 1921 earned approxi
matcly $40 4 share on the preferred
stock, compared with S1420 earned in
1920. Considering the extreme depres-
sion that prevailed in the shipping in
dustry last year this was considered
good showing. Another company which
was affected by shipping conditions in
1921 is the American Interna tional Cor
poration. This concern, despite a be
lief several months ago that it would
show red figures. is now expected to
report a small surplus One Of the
reasons Why the 7. N. H. was able to
earn a substantial sum after charges
was the fact that it has prepondcr-

from that source proved the companys

Investment bankers regard the state

tho Administrations attitude toward

as merely emphasizing the policy
which it has favored since lost spring
rather than as introducing new regu-

opportunity to express its views Of for
eign loans previously has been drawn
to the attention of bankers informally
and has not until now been supported
by direct rcquert of general sppii-
cation. The reason that the State Dc
