 SHOOTING IS Now PLEASANT SPORT

Vienna. December 9.-Once the sport only of the aristocracy. shoot ing is becoming the pastime of the
 masses in Austria. Few countries are i so pientifully stocked with game of every kind, furred and feathered, and the large estates have been .splen- didiy preserved for centuries. The great European stag. smaller deer,
 and chamois are still abundant. while pheasants of various kinds, partridge and quail, woodcock. snipe and other game birds. not to mention the great flocks of wild fowl along the Danube and the marshy lakes. furnish excel lent sport.
 Today many of the once rich land
 owners are no longer able to keep up
 their shootings. with the necessary
 armies of gamekeepers and other
 heavy expenses and the properties are
 being rented. Of those offered this
 autumn, 16 large estates have been
 taken over by peasant shooting clubs

MANY READ TRADE ] PAPE Rs AT LIBRARY.
Iron and Steel Journals Have Huge Patronage in
 Birmingham

Of all the trade journals that the library keeps on file in the reference room at the central library. The Iron Age. The Iron Trade Review and The Manufacturers Record are the most popular. Many who read these mag azlnes are such steady readers after the progress of their business that the librarians in the reference room know who the yare and almost the Iexact hour of each day during which to expect them.
 Though these three magazines are
 by far the most frequently used, there are many others related to the steel and the coal industries. There are mine fthem that are not used to some extent, of course. But among them these are the most popular: The
 Foundry, The Blast Furnace and Steel Plant and Forging and Heat Treating. Of all these. and of all other trade journals, The Manufac- turers' Record is the most enthuslas- tic exponent of southern progress. It Is edited by Richard H. Edmonds.
 Several thousand dollars are spent each year in the reference room or the library. Much of 1t goes to pay for magazine subscriptions and news paper subscriptions. Hundreds and hundreds of magazines and news papers are always on the racks for the use of those people of Birming- ham who care to trouble themselves to go to the library and read them. Anything in the fiction list of maga- zines from Life to the Atlantic Month ly may be had.
 Then sRain. the trade journals. The entire list would likely fill a whole page Since Birmingham is an in dustrial city, and depends upon the iron, coal and steel industries for it's existence, no citizen in all of the city would be wasting time if he or
 she spent a few hours each month reading a trade journal that dealt with one or all of these industries, technical. but that all might under stand them
 Here's a list of trade journals that l.are printed for the iron, steel and
 Iron Trade Review. The Manufac- coal industries: The Iron Age, The turers' Record. The Foundry, The
 Blast Furnace and Steel Plant. Forg
 Ing and Heat Treating, The Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, The Coal Age. Engineering and Mining Press, Industrial Education Magazine, Industrial Digest, Industrial Manage
 ment, Iron Trade Review, Journal or Industry and Engineering Chemistry, Metal Industry, Mining and Metui- lurgy, Sanitation and Heating Engi- neering With Sheet Metal Worker and Welding Engineer.

ALABAMA BOASTS {. .1,658 PERSONS T0
 EVERY ATTORNEY
State Has 17 Women Lawyers and 1899 Men Engaged in Legal Profession,
 Report Says

Lawyers ought to thrive in Ala bama. There are 1,s5s people to be gotten out of trouble by every one of them. according to census figures published in recent issue of the Docket" In Alabama. according to these figures, lawyers are freer from competition than any other state, except South Carolina. where there are 1,702 persons to each lawyer.
 There were in Alabama in is2o, the report shows, 1899 male lawyers and 17 women lawyers, making a total of 1,416.
 The District of Columbia teens with lawyers. There is one for every 1S1 persons in the district It IS Iracticing attorneys and. therefore, leaves out hosts of others who have residence in the district for at least portions of the year. Of the 1851 lawyers in the District of Columbia, 5S are women.
 Next to the nations capital, comes Nevada, the state of Reno, In num- Der of lawyers per capita. Out in the commonwealth of cacti and di- vorces, there is a lawyer to care for the ills of incompatibility of every 337 matrimony- sick inhabitants or immigrants.
 California comes third, with 503 persons per lawyer, and New York. metropolis and financial capital, comes fourth. It is first in actual number of lawyers, having a young army of 1s,473 professional logicians and of this number 344 are women. There is a lawyer to each 562 per sons.
 New Mexico Is tffe only state that has no women lawyers. Delaware, New Hampshire and Utah have one each, and North Dakota, Rhode Is- land and Wyoming have three apiece.
 There are fewer lawyers per capita in the south than in any other sec ton of the country. The center of the legal population appears to be somewhere on the general latitude between New York or Washington and San Francisco.
 The census figures are based on "the number of persons gainfully oc- cupied as lawyers and judges" How many less fortunate lawyers there are Is not intimated.
