 Though only 21 years old, he has had a great deal of practical ex- perience, and in the words of one of his friends: "Is bound tosadvertise old Birmingham in the right way, be- cause he's the kind of chap who has been making good ever. since he wore knee trousers"
 Splendid Words For Him
 A letter from the president of the Tupelo institution declared that the references the college asked and re- ceived were the finest the institution had ever had from any young man seeking a position there.
 MT. Cooper has been appointed captain in the military school, and is taking along with him several boys who will enter the academy from this city. He is to be coach of ath- letics and head of the language de- partment. a part of his work being four classes of Latin and two of French.

BOW|ENOT ID MAKE RACE FOR
 CHA|RMANSH|P
Bankhead Likely to Be Only Candidate For Chairman When Committee Meets
 September '

Sidny J. Bowie of Birmingham will not make the race for the chairman ship of the state democratic conven- tion which meets in Montgomery September '. This was formally an nounced by MT. Bowie in a state ment last night, in which he declared that his primary interest in the sub ject was "the question of education in this state."
 With the withdrawal of Mir. Bowie. 1t appears praobable that the name of J. H. Bankhead, Jr., of Jasper, will be the only one placed before the committee for chairman. Friends O: Mir. Bowie have been active in his behalf for the last two weeks.
 MT. Bowie's decision follows . statement by National Committee man Walter Moore last week to the effect that. while he had high re- gard for Mir. Bowie. he had decided to support Mir. Bankhead, his de- cision being based entirely on what he considered for the best interests of the party in the entire state."
 It was developed at the same time that Governor-elect Brandon had ad- vised friends that the selection of MT. Bankhead as chairman would be most pleasing to him.
 The formal statement of MT. Bowie follows:
 Mir. Bowie's Statement
 T have decided not to make the race for the chairmanship of the democratic state convention. My primary interest in that subject was as it has been for years, the ques- ton of education in this state. With one third of the white children of this state accessible to schools whose average term Is not over five or six months. large majority of which are taught by third grade teachers, 1t Is obvious that If the state would grow, it cannot stand still. To stand still Is an impos- sibility in itself. But even if il
 
 the rest of the country will not stand still. And in any event, our rela- tive position would be lower than 1t is today. I am for forward, aggres- sive stand on education, to the end that not only shall the blight of il- literarcy be removed in our state. but also that the children of this state shall be able to attend schools of such length and efficiency as to give them an even chance in the race of life.
 q am advised that these views are also held by Mir. SanKhead, and his attitude on the subject will not be different from mine.
 T believe that can fight for this just as well, and perhaps more effectively, upon the floor of the con vention than in the chair if it rhouid he contested. For this reason thought 1t best to withdraw from the craftsmanship race"

NEW PIPE CASTING
 MACHINE SUCCESS
Pipe Made by New Process Proves More Than
 Satisfactory

Test of the De Lavaud pipe east stalled at the North Birmingham plant of the U. S. Pipe company, has been satisfactory. the pipe more than meeting expectations.
 The tests have been applied to 6. 8 and 1o-inch pipe and in each in- stance the engineers are reported to have been delighted with the results. They feel confident of the same re- suits with the 12-inch pipe as it is tested.
 The company has not stated when this pipe will be placed on the mar ket. an event that is looked for with much interest in the pressure pipe field, but it Is expected that early announcements may be made in that line.
 The U. s. Pipe company acquired the right to manufacture pipe by the De Lavaud process from the Ca nadian patentees last year. Tests were made at company plants In this country and following tests the com pany decided to install four of the machines In the North Birmingham plant. The installation was com pleted some time ago and numerous tests of the pipe have been made since with satisfaction to the ex- perts of the company.
 The U. S. Pipe company has sub leased the right to manufacture un- der the De Lavaud process to the National Cast Iron Pipe company of this city, but that company has not yet installed the machines
 On account of its lightness and strength the De Layaud pipe will 1t Is believed, prove a strong competi- tor of steel pipe where steel pipe has heretofore been used exclusively.
