Native AIabamian Visiting in Birmingham Says Bank rupt Railroad May Yet
 Be Saved

Chances are good and growing better for the purchase of ths AtlAn- Ia, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad by the state of Georgia" stated Lee Langley. native A1abamAian, and now a leading lawyer of Rome and mem- Der of the Georgia waterways and canal commission, who 10 visiting in Birmingham.
 Mansion Frames BIil
 Senator Frank Mansion, who rep- resents the Atlanta district in the Georgia general assembly. will intro ducs a bill at the coming June ses- sion authorizing the state to buy the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, and providing for bond issue for that purpose" said MT. Langley. land sentiment in favor of the purchase Is growing rapidly all over the state. Georgia owns the Western and At lantic railroad. that extends from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and the plan proposed is for the state to buy the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic and connect it with the Western and Atlantic at Atlanta, extending the state owned property to the port of Brunswick, the best port on the Att lantic ocean south of Norfolk. The port of Brunswiok now has 30 feet of water on the bar and Is handbook q port, where shipping Is protected from storms and unfavorable weather.
 Birmingham Tonnage
 ~The purpose of the original pro- motors of the Atlanta, Birmingham a RA mingham district, with its immense tonnage of heavy and bulky freight, direct short line to good Atlantic port. This idea was perfectly sound and the day will come. in my judg- ment. when this railroad will prove a tremendous actor in ;he progress and prosperity of Birmingham. In addi- ton to the great volume of freight originating in the Birmingham dis tri destined for ocean carriage, and the incoming exports for this great city, the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic is the most direct line, through Birmingham, between the middle west and the Atlantic ocean via the Brunswick port.
 Georgia Fort
 If Georgia buys the propertv if will have also direct line from the port of Brunswick through Chatta- nooga, over the Western and Allan tic, state owned, to that portion of the west lying between St. Louis and the Carolinas and Virginia, and the shortest direct line. Tho people of Georgia are deeply intere.ted in the future of tNe Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, and we have always felt that we had the friendship and good wishes of Birmingham in our efforts to save the property and develop 1t to the full measure of its possibilities and usefulness"

Federal Export Bureaus Chief Points Out Opportunity to Birmingham

 ices which the bureau that he repre-
 sents Is lending the American manu-
 lecturers to extend their export trade
 Our bureau Is prepared to give ex-
 pert attention to any question per Ttalning to tho export trade" Mfr. Alderman stated. since the crea- tor of commodity divisions last year. we have experts in charge of 16 8great commodity divisions. such as ' Niron and steel, fuel, etc, as well aa technical divisions, handling such matters as tariffs, and the region dl- visions, who are advisors to the exec utives of the manufacturers interest," ed in foreign trade. The regional e1- perts have spent many years in trav- cling in the territory to which they are assigned, and are prepared 10 answer any question of an economic nature.
 T have been amazed at the interest shown by Birmingham manufacturers Rin the Latin American trade, MT. < Ack erfnan continued. Although the
 continued business depression has acurtailed the volume of foreign trade, Birmingham manufacturers have not Host heart and several of them in- Horned me of orders recently placed
 abroad
 Good Trade Conditions
 conditions in Latin-America are ! sconducive to a renewal of trade re- slations on large sale with tirms M in kthat country. Reports being re- Nceived from our commercial attacnes lin Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Peru Indicate that there is considerapie movement of stocks from shelves or
 tha merchants in those countries. The
 Sas. .o0O. .o00 worth of merchanalse (which was in customs house in Bue- 8nos Aires has been consumed, and to- zlday there is less than the normAA 8amount in customs there. The com 3tinusd rise in price of sugar In CuDA &has caused a renewed buying in that slcountry. Brazil, too, is placing . humber of large orders in this coun- lItry.
 Getting Our Share "competition from Europe has been greatly exaggerated" MT. Alderman continued. "Notwithstanding the un- favorable exchange initiating against our American manufacturers in their efforts to sell Latin-American firms we are slowly getting back to dom- mating position in those marx s'
 .The strong drive made by German firms to dlsplace our articles has not met with anything like the success anticipated We expect that Europe will supply a large part of the neeos \ of Latin America, but the Onlteu States can secure her fair snare oI orders there if our manufactursrs

Walter Camp Discusses
 College "Anateur" LaUUS

This Is doubiy true in the case Of the schoolboy. But there Is no more real reason why he should be allow ed surrepuously to sell his athletic ability and pose as an amateur than there was that he should be allowed to continue the natural stealing pro- pensity with which as a baby he was endowed
 Furthermore the talk about laying all the blame upon the promoter or still more upon his alumni in these college eligibility affairs Is greatly overdoue. By the time the American boy has reached college age in these days he knows perfectly well that he has no business to permit the ex- ponses of living to be paid for him by an outsider. One proof of this lies in the fact that he does not tell of 1t to the athletic committed.
 As to the way in which some boys have been financed through college there is much of the same camou- flage.
 The eligibility rules are pretty clearly stated in most of the large colleges and Q boy knows what they mean. He knows that his family and relatives are expected to pay his liv- ing expenses whether at college or at home. He knows that there are certain legitimate ways of working his way through. He also under stands perfectly we'll when offers are made to him that trespass upon the border line.
 Perhaps tho rules may Dc changed to admit of all these ways of mak- Ing money on tho side and still re- main eligible for college athletics but 1t is extremely doubtful.
 A man cannot make money out of his athletic ability and remain Ian amateur" in any definition of the word thus far established. So the best any college rules could do if changed would be to say that even though a boy is no longer an anna teur he will be permitted to repre- sent his college upon the teams. That is the whole story and should be faced whenever the matter is con sidered.

Mississippi Floods Cause Increases m
 Vegetable Market

Floods in the Mississippi valley and cool weather locally put damper on the supply of vegetables during the last of the week, with tho result that prices increased on the retail market. Tomatoes increased from $S5o to s45O wholesale, and were selling re- tail for 5 cents each and three for 10 cents.
 Louisiana cabbage disappeared from the market, with the result that ship ments from Mobile territory were un- able to supply the demand except at an increase of SIPS per crate. Irish potatoes were also slightly higher but new Alabama potatoes are ex- pected on the market the last of the week.
 A plentiful supply of strawberries are coming in from south Alabama A carload was received yesterday on Morris avenue. The price remains at about $450 a crate, with boxes sell ing retail at 20 to 30 cents each. Berries received in drop shipments from Thorsby and Hanceville were said to be extra large. The first shipments of dewberries were re- ceived during the week.
 Small quantities of green corn made their appearance on Morris avenue yesterday and sold for S4 a crate.
 Eggs went to 25 and 2s cents wholesale yesterday, which Is higher than they have been in months even during Easter. No reason for the ad- vance could be given as the supply is normal and the demand as usual.
 Flood waters and the storm condi- tions on the coast have resulted in a further scarcity of fish but the mar ket is steady and the price remains staple.
 Dressed beef increased a cent on the pound Friday. Grass fed meat Is expected on the market before long. Stall fed animals are now supplying the market

CHILDREN ENJOY
 RADIO CONCERT
Program Sent Out by Alabama Power Company Included
 Local Talent

Inmates of the Children's hospital as well as many visitors were treated last night to radio concert of more than an hours duration sent out by the Alabama Power company from its "WsY" station at 1921 Powell ave- nue. The receiving set at the hospi- tai was installed by Loveman, Joseph and Loeb and every act on the pro- gram could be heard with perfect clearness.
 Included on the varied program which was sent out by the station were acts by artists from Loew's Bijou and a talk on the history and function of the Children's hospital by Percey Brewer. The Jazz Hops" orchestra played number of selec- tions including Ten Baby Fingers" The Shiek" and June Moon." Miss Christine Rogers gave two readings entitled Little orphan Annle," and "The Peach Pie"
 One of the features of the pro- gram was a whistling solo by A. H. williams accompanied by selection on the Victrola. For the special ben- eft of the children a photograph record of "The Bear Story" by James Whitcomb Riley was rendered.
 Percey Brewer told of the cam paign by the Civitan club to raise s20,00t for the Children's hospital. He said that $10,500 has already been subscribed. The hospital, he stated, was opened in 1911 by a little band of philanthropic women and that 1t has a capacity of 35 to 40 patients and an able staff of physicians.
 While the concert was given for the benefit of the children at the hospital and was immensely enjoyed by them, all those with receiving sets were privileged to listen in. off cials of the power company estimate that the concert was picked up by 800 receiving sets and was heard by more than 10000 persons.
