CONSIDER USE OF AIRSHIPs
Possibility Of Their Successful En-
ployment in Making Aerial OBJ
servations Of tho Himaiayas.

Consideration has been given to the
possibility Of aerial observations in
the Himalayas. The range, it appears
has only six peaks above 27,0OO feet
high, and an aviator flying at about
$1,000 or 24,OOO fr"t should have no
difficulty in crossing If the highest
peaks were avoided, while. II he chose
certain of the scrges. an altitude of
some 1900 feet would suffice. The
greatest of the many obstacles to be
encountered is the mountain sickness,
which occurs in the highest attitudes
through deficiency of oxygen. The grad
ual climber, going afoot. is less handi-
capped in this respect than the avi-
ator rising suddenly from sea level In
his machine; on the other hand. the
pedestrian has more fatigue to under
20, and this practically. equalizes mat
ters. The chief consideration In any
case is an adequate supply of oxygen
with a proper inhaler.

Mahanoy City, Pa.-With rats and
mice as her only companions and
starved almost to a living skeleton,
an eighty-five-year-old woman was
dragged forth from damp, dark, dir
ty cellar, where she has spent the last
two years as a prisoner at the hands
of her daughter and son-in-law.
For no other reason apparently tnan
that she was in the way, the old won-
an had been locked in her cellar-dun-
geon and fed only scraps OF food ana
bits of nourishment scarcely tit for
the lowest animal to eat for almost
twepty-four months, while her daugh-
ter and husband lived in considerable
comfort in the house above her.
When found the miserable old pris-

Birmingham PaperCo. Still Receiving Paper
 By Way of Warrior

The Birmingham Paper company is receiving the fourth 100-ton lot Of white paper from Sweden this year. This movement Is by steamer to New Orleans and thence to Port of Bir- mingham via Mobile and the Warrior barges. The company saves s5 ton by having the paper come via the Warriok Tn the course of time that economy counts. as do other up-to- date methods, which have served to bring this company's operations from capital of $10,o00 2l years ago to business of Sl,000,000 q year. The company's trade territory is co-eN- tensive with the southern states and 1t has the only paper box factory in Alabama. Even at the approach of the inventory season the corrugated container plant is on almost full time, the school tablet plant Is on full time and the envelope factory is also in full operation. The output of en- velopes and school tablets is an enor- nous one and these plants are con tinuously busy. This concern, like others who make standard goods, has no complaint tc make of home patron age. Its slogan is. we make it pay to patronze home industry"
 Rapid and continuous growth Of this plant shows that 1t has made good on it's slogan. The entire plant. with its several factories. covers space of 90 by 300 feet and Is three stories high.

It is typical of the industrial center in which 1t finds itself; the most pro- gressive one in the south. Asked to what he attributed the marked sue cess which this institution has at tained, Samuel c. King, vice presi- dent and cashier. stressed personal service and called attention to the slogan of the bank. which reads: strong enough to protect you large enough to serve you, small enough to know you" There are. more than 10000 individual depositors in this bank and they include the largest corporations In the district at one end and the wage earners of the sur rounding Iron. steel and coal district at the other. Equal consideration is Robert E. Chadwick, Cashier King and the other officials. In a word when one thinks of Ensley he cannot but think of the Bank of Ensley which typifies and reflects that pro- gressive and busy section of the Bir- mingham district.

CAMPAIGN for Salvation Army

A great deal of interest has been
created in the Salvation Army cam
paign which will begin here Monday
morning, June 18th, 1922. We are
well acquainted with the work of the
Salvation army. We can not forget
what they did for "our boys" while
in France, and their wonderful work
does not stop there, but goes on still.
The influence and love of the Saliva
ton army for the benefit of human
ity is far reaching and never ending.
We do not know how soon some
one from our own county or from
our own town may find it necessary
to call the Salvation army for help
and we know it will be given them
heartily and cheerfully. Let us then
think of the Salvation army as the
Good Samaritan, and heartily respond
to this appeal for funds for the work
IN this Southern division.
Remember there is only one call a
year for funds for the work of the
Salvation army, and when we thinl:
of this let us make our donations just
as liberal as possible and 60 over the
top this year.
