BIRMINGHAM GAINS
 BY s. A. |. RULING.
Cotton Concentration Priyi- Iege For Atlanta and Au-
 guSta Withdrawn

The Seaboard Ar Line has given notice that 1t will withdraw the priv ilege of concentrating cotton drawn from this section and east Missis- sippi heretofore allowed Atlanta and Augusta. The effect of this with drawal will be to place Atlanta and Augusta on the same footing as Birmingham with reference to cotton coming into these points and re- shipped to Carolina mills. It will pce- vent Atlanta and Augusta from drawing cotton to it's congresses that should be handled in Birmingham.
 It is expected that the action Of the Seaboard Air Line will be fol- lowed by other railroads and this will do away with the advantage the Georgia cities have had in assem- bling cotton intended for consumption in the Carolina mills.
 The effect of the change will be to make each city the concentration point of the cotton from it's sur rounding territory without encroach- ing on the territory of others. Each city will get. the cotton naturally coming to 1t to be compressed and the cotton, after being assembled and concentrated there, will be forwarded to mills at the one through rate.
 The Birmingham Traffic Bureau, which has been conducting the case for the Birmingham cotton handlers, has received word of the action of the Seaboard Air Line through Secre- tary Jones, who is now in Atlanta attending class rate hearings before the representative of the interstate commerce commission. The case against the Seabord will be with drawn.

res of brilliant performances he annexed the all-American cham pionship.
 The work of the dog was high class, He did not find as many birds as some of the other dogs in the stake, for he ran at time of day when the wind was high, but his performance was of such a quality that he stood out in the matter of class.
 There were several other inter esting heats seen during the running of this strike and prob- ably the nearest competitor was the pointer dog, Pickonsville Nat, owned by pr. w. H. Hutch ings of Detroit, Mich. and handled by MT. Shelley of Colum- bus, Miss. Pickensville Nat won second to Doughboy in the ail- age stake and was a close conf- petitor in the championship. As a matter of fact, he found more birds. but his performance lacked the snap and dash of the winner.

 The flag was hoisted on the quay and the bluejackets went among the panic stricken people, picking out these with American citizenship papers. The American flag was like beacon of hope. hundreds that could speak few words of English c1almed to have been in the United States but could show no satisfactory proof. Others said they had relatives in America The Americans. how ever, were forced to turn a deaf ear to these appeals. The big hearted blue jackets were overcome with emotion at the distressing scenes and did their best to comfort the terrorized women and children, even giving up their own bed rolls, clothing and ratlons.

How Present Buildings Are
 Used to Care For Students

(ContfnLed from Page Seven) ty library, reading rooms and a small assembly room. A much larger building is needed for the library and the valuable collection of historical books and relics is in constant danger by reason of the fact that the present building Is not fireproof The proposed new library building should have a large study room for students and several small CT rooms for members of the facul- ty and graduate students
 Tuomey Hall-This is small building used by the department of chemistry and for chemical and met a1lurgical engineering, with their laboratories and class rooms. The building Is inadequate in size, and space for much larger laboratories Is needed.
 Barnard Hail-Used by the student Y. M. c. A. and other social and re- ligious organizations, contains of fices of student organizations, and the armory of the military depart ment It is too small for this im- portant part of the college life and Is old and unsatisfactory.
 Garland Hall-Used exclusively as mans dormitory.
 TutwiIer Hall-This Is the women's domitory and an excellent building but much too small for the accom- modation of the present number Of co-eds. IL has accommodations for about 175 girls. The number of wom- en students at the university this years is about 325, about 100 living at their homes in Tuscaloosa. In order to take care of the surplus It was necessary this fall to place three girls in rooms designed for the ac- commodation of two.
 A proposed additional wing to Tut wi]er Hall should be erected at once, and a new girls dormitory with capacity of 200 will be needed in the rext few years, because of the rapid increase in the number of women students.
 ymnasium-Contains locker rooms and shower baths, gymnasium, dress ing rooms for visiting teams and or flee of athletic coaches. A separate gymnasium for the women students, gymnasium, swimming pool, physical examination and con sultation rooms and courts for out door sports, is greatly needed.
 Medical Building-This building has just been completed and was oc- cupied in September. It is adequate for the present needs of the medical school.

 When your silverware becomes tar nished, place 1t in potato water and it
 will look like new. This Is an eco- nomical method and aso a time-saver. Keep one or two old thick mail- order catalogs on the kitchen table on which to place cooking utensils, dishpan and other pans. Tear off and burn the leaves as they become
 soiled, and see how much 1t will help
 toward keeping the table bright and clean.
 If you add a few drops of vinegar to the backing when polishing the
 kitchen range, the backing will stay on longer and the stove will have a brighter gloss than if polished in the ordinary way.
 If you depend upon flat-irons and an oil stove to do your ironing, try covering them with a deep pan and you will find that the irons not only heat quicker but retain the heat longer.
 To mark cups or other china that are to be loaned for social occasions, apply small pieces of adhesive tape, on which the name of the owner has been written in indelible ink. to the bottom of the dishes and you will

Antier. N. D., September Is. Especial. 1.-The pointer dog, Doughboy, owned by D. J. Rowe, of Birmingham. Ala, and handled by J. Willard Martin of Leto- hatchie. Ala. won the all-Ameri- can field trial championship for bird dogs, which was concluded here today. The race proved to be an interesting one, for 1t was not only a test of field trial quail ities, but one of endurance, as all dogs must run heats of one hour and half in length.
 The winner of the stake has been very much in the limelight during the past two weeks. for in four starts he has won first three times, and of these, two were championships.

Mrs. Gavin, q former New Yorker, carries back to England the title won last year by Miss Cecil Leith, former British champion.
 Neither finalist was at her best in the IS hole title round, although Mrs. Gavin apparently always had some thing in reserve to meet Miss Stir ling's frequent challenges.

 Mrs. Gavin took the first hole when Miss Stirling pulled her drive ana took four to reach the green, but the former American champion squared the count by holing her first putt at the second hole.

WHY DISTRIBUTION COST,

From the Nations Business.
 or the thousands who annually visit Mount Vernon, it would be interest ing to know how many see in this old plantation home a record of the industry of century and a half ago In those days comforts and conve- nienees, to say nothing of the ordi- nary essentials to existence, were to a great extent home products.
 The old general was a good busi- ness man IS well as a good official He believed in economic indepen6ence as basis for political independence. This you will see reflected in the several small factories flanking the old mansion. .-@-
 There Is, for instance. a carpenter shop and spinning house. Sheep grazing on the Washington acres gave assurance that the general would feel confident that the mate rial for his greatcoat and silver buttoned dress coat would be all wool.
 The wool was produced, sheared, carded, spun, woven and dyed. no doubt, within earshot of the house. There was no problem of transporta- tion from point of production to place 'of consumption because 1t was all ready there.
 Not only clothing, but food shelter and fuel were produced within walk ing distance from the Washington home. There were many problems of great importance to occupy the attention of Washington and his con- temporaries, but economic distribu- tion was not one of them
 If the visitor to Mount Vernon to- day should compare the processes be tween the wool on the sheep's back and the wooden cloth on his own back. he might find that the sheep had grazed on Argentine pastures, the wool woven in Bradford, the suit made in Chicago and sold to him in San Francisco.

STAGE SCENERY

Robert Allerton Parker, In Arts and
 Decoration.
 The theatres gain from the new school of acting" scenery has been great. It marks the fulfillment of an inherent promise, the rounded de- velopment and fruition of a latent po- tentiality. In the present dominance of the setting. however. we should not close our eyes to inherent dan gers. The greatest danger-a dan ger by no means vague or imaginary is that these settings and the ar lists who create them may conquer and dominate the American theatre. They may issue q declaration of in- dependence and assert their sover- eighty over the dramatist and the ac- tor. We might cite innumerable cases in which the scenery has been the veritable star of the produc- tion-the actors and the dramatist mere accessories to scenery. costumes and lighting effects. Such a state of affairs is one of the most malign influences of the contemporary theatre. Yet actors must not be re- duced to the position of those little figures occasionally inserted Into the .visualizations' of architects.
 For the intelligent and discriminat- Ing spectator poor plays can never be redeemed by any amount of effec- tive scenery. It may be that our gain in the vast and impressive &C., cessories Is counter balanced by our loss in more vital things. At any rate, it would be well for our direc- tors, our critics and our American public to recall at this crucial mo- ment that the great artists of the theatre have relied little upon the accessories of scenery. Duse. Yvette Guilbert, Isidora Duncanr-to name three outstanding figures of the twentieth century--have scorned the trickery of material aids of this sort. Truly great drama Is vital not be- cause of its external or representa- tive aspects. but because of its in- ner spiritual energy, it's dynamic power of inspiring an audience. The perfect setting, the ''acting" scenery may be an invaluable aid in trans hitting this radiant power from the authors manuscript into the three dimensions of the modern theatre. It may aid the actors to project 1t from the imagination of the dramatist into the spirit of the audience. But it can never act as a substitute, nor can 1t ever conceal that fundamental lack of ideation or power which is the inevitable sign of mediocrity in playwriting. This truism is some- times forgotten on Broadway.

Unlike the women of some other Spanish speaking countries. the women of Montevideo go out In the streets. They go about in groups to- gether, but not in the company of men. The Montevideo woman doesn't even go out with her husband. If she wishes to dine in a public restaurant she cannot sit in the main dining room with her lord and master. If she wishes to enjoy his society, they are obliged to engage a private room and thus maintain their dignity. This custom Is carried to such degree that in the theatres there are sep arnte galleries for the men and the women.

SAVES BERRY OVERFLOW

Through the recent discovery of a practical method of preserving fresh strawberries and other soft fruits, berry growers of the northwest this year saved the overflow from the re- tail markets, >worth millions of dol lars, which heretofore had been lost every season. This year the growers decided to provide a safety valve for their market by devising method of preserving the fresh fruit.
 The new method, described and H. frustrated in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, is very simple. It consists merely of packing the berries in sugar in the proportions of one pound of sugar to two pounds of berries Casks of wood holding 500 pounds are used for packing.
