TURKS TO PAY NEAREASTARMY BRITAIN PRESENTS HUGE BILL
 FOR OCCUPATION ARMY COST. DEMAND S5oo,oOo,OOO SULTAN'S EMPI HAS RE-
 TRAINED FROM ISSUING
 PAPER MONEY.

Iondon.-One of the questions on which it is expected there will be i'm portant differences between the Turks and British is the cost of the British occupation of Constantinople and other areas in Asia Minor since 1918. The British have kept careful accounts of the expenditures which are regarded as an ultimate charge against Turkey. If is believed the bill will run into S5OO, O,OOO,UOO, without regard to what claims might be advanced by France, which maintained 20,OO0 troops in these regions for a year and a half.
 The Kemalists long have contended that the charges are unjust, claiming it was possible to give them peace three years ago.
 When the first conference assem- bles this financial question will he in- troduced in connection with the Otto- man public debt in which France is large sharer. Thus far, the arguments of the Kemalists have been that Fur key has paid her war debts by the loss of two-thirds of her territories. and therefore. should not he asked to pay more. Likewise the kemnlists have consistently refused to print their own money. in order to preserve the sta bility of the Turkish pound.
 The total outstanding Turkish paper is 25O.O0O.OO0 Turkish pounds. At the present exchange one dollar IS worth approximately one and two-thlrds Turkish pounds. Three years ago Turkey had approximately 3O.ooo'ooo gold pounds.

BIRMINGHAM TRUST ID ISSUE S5OO,OOO ADDITIONAL STOCK
Birmingham GroWs," Says Col. Smith-Large Capital Increases by Local Con-
 cerns This Year

Preparatory to re-entering its en- larged and refurnished marble front home on Twentieth street, the Bir- mingham Trust and Savings company will increase capital stock from $500, 600 to s1.eoo, 900.
 Directors of the institution me, yesterday and adopted resolutions calling for a meeting of the stock holders on April IS, at which time is- sue of the additional stock will be presented for their endorsement. 7, is foregone conclusion that the direc- tors will be endorsed and the new stock issued.
 The bank expects to get back into it's old home in it's new dress sthe latter part of April. The beautiful exterior is completed and the interior is nearing finish. There will be en- frances both on Second avenue and Twentieth street.
 The Birmingham Trusts action in increasing capital stock is the fourth outstanding development of that kind taken this year. In the first week of the year the Realty Mortgage com pany authorized an increase in it's capital stock by s500,0o0, the new stock being per cent preferred This company's business is based on Bir- mingham residence property and is- sue of new stock was indicative of popularity and stability of that kind of investment.
 . Very early in the year the Alabama Home Building and Loan association authorized the issue of another $1,- 000,0 of capital stock for the pur- pose of caring for home builders in Birmingham. This company in- creased its capital from s6,000,000 to ss. 900, 900 last year, but building ac- tivity in Birmingham necessitated another increase this year.
 The Birmingham Water Works company, which issued $500,000 of per cent cumulative preferred stock last year, has called a meeting of stockholders for an early date for the issuing of another s5O0,000 of the same class of stock. Last years is- sue was quickly absorbed locally and the proceeds went into plant im- provements. The proceeds from the new issue will go in the same quar- ter.
 Total of increased capital of the four concerns is s2,50o.000.
 Tt is due to the growth of Bir- mingham, of which our growth is but the reflex" said Col Tom o Smith, vice president of the Birming- ham Trust. in speaking of the action of that company.

neltled MISS Eancy and she develop ed high degree of artistic tempera- ment, Accordingly she could not be relied upon to do her act every day so the circus manager offered her for sale.
 The Age-Herald started a Chil- dren's Zoo fund for the elephant and practically every child in Birming- ham contributed it's bit" Samuel F. Clabaugh, now vice president of a bank in Tuscaloosa, was president of the Children's Zoo association and Joe Saks treasurer.
 When the amount was raised, with the Assistance of The Age Herald s contribution. committee headed by F. w. Barrett, went to Tuscaloosa, where the circus was playing, and bought Miss Fancy.
 Then a perplexing problem arose. Now that they had the elephant how could they get her back to Birmins- ham? They asked the expressman, but he refused to take her. Then they lit upon a plan. With a bale of cot ton for a step they succeeded in lur- ing Miss Fancy into one end of the express car. The committee then told the congressman that if he wished to get Miss Fancy out of the car, he
  less to say Miss Fancy arrived in Birmingham via the express route and was met by brass band. When one looks at Miss Fancy nowadays it is hard to believe that she ever was small enough to get in an ordinary express carl However it merely demonstrates how much an elephant can grow in less than 10 years.

Eighteen years in the fire depart ment, three years in the street de- partment, and the rest of the time in the Spark department. He now has almost as much agility as a 25year- old man and knows the nature of practically every animal in the zoo.
