 Trading in Birmingham
Board of Directors Names Committee, Headed by Col T. O. Smith, to Conduct mpaign-County
 Officials Also to Be Approached

"on Wednesday. January 25, these two salesmen again called on Mfr. Shook fin reference to the same line and were informed that he was in no hurry to make his purchases. but would be glad to consider samples and prices when submitted.
 Much to our surprise, we noted in Fridays newspapers. January 27, that the city had placed an order for 1sl dozen bathing suits with an out -of-town concern. This statement we had confirmed by MT. Shook in personal interview.
 We are respectfully bringing this matter to attention of the cofnmis- sion, feeling that your honorable body has no desire to do an inten- tional injustice to the merchants here in Birmingham. of making purchases without even giving the local con- cerns an opportunity of submitting bids. especially when local dealers not only pay city, county and state taxes, but city license to transact business"
 On Broad Lines
 It is understood that the Chamber of Commerce is not undertaking this matter for purpose of rectifying any special act of injustice alleged to have been done any local merchant, but to broadly canvass the entire sit uation so that the city will form the habit Of purchasing Birmingham goods and patronizins Birmingham merchants and manufacturers as far as possible.
 The concrete instances of alleged injustice, it is understood, led to the formation of the committe@s plans. but the committee intends to make It's campaign broad one.
 with the County
 It Is further understood that the chamber committee will also take up this matter with the county board of revenue and use its good offices and influence of the chamber for the purchasing of home products and the patronage of home merchants by the county also.

 The committee will ask for list of the goods which have been here tofore and are now being purchased by the city from outside firms

 The committee will probably have it's first session with the city com mission next Tuesday
 Matters were brought to head by the discussion involved In the mat ter of Woco Pep, which Is one-halr benzol made in the local by-product plants, and, following that. by the awarding of contract for bathing suits to an outside firm without, 1t is claimed, giving Goodall, Brown x Co.,, local wholesalers, a chance to bid on the contract.
 The Goodall- Brown matter was thus presented by that firm January 31 in a letter to chairman of the commission in which the firm said:
 GoodnlI-Trown Complaint
 About 60 days ago two of our sales men approached c. F. Shook, pur- chasing agent for the city, fin ref erence to selling bathing suits for the public swimming pool, We were informed that he was not ready to take the matter up, but would look at our lines before purchasing,

CHANGES IN MAPS OF WORLD
AImOst ImPOoOiblO of Dslief Has Been the InerOaOe In Knowledge in the
 Christian Bra.

Mapmakers are having a busy time in these days of Gverchanging bound aries. Europe has rogrOuped itself, and the old map of our SchOOldays is wrong from top to bottom.
 But what tremendous changes have taken place in tho Christian era, comparatively short time in the his tory of the world, observes writer i'm London Answers. The Romans map of the world was the Middle sea the Mediterranean-and the lands washed by it's waves. To sail out of the Straits of Gibraltar-the Pillars of Hercules-was as great an adven- ture as being shot in q rocket to Mars would be today!
 For another thousand years, after the decline of Rome, very little prog ress was made. India was a sort of fairyland. China-Or CathQy-mfght have been in the moon, Russia and Si- beria were wholly out of bounds. America was not dreamed of, Aus tralia had never been heard of, no Eu ropean ship had ever sailed on the Pacific ocean.
 Then, quite suddenly, came the age of exploration. The Spanish and Port uguese navigatOrs, followed by the great English adventurers, doubled the worlds land area for the map makers. But even then the maps were fearful and wonderful. America was a piece of all guesswOrk. The greater part Of Africa the same. Even Flu rope looked like nothing on earth, and where they were at a loss they drew fabulous beasts and birds to fill up the spaces.

Oil Pipe Line for Mexico.

A Mexican pipe line is being planned by Clay T. Yerby of Los Angeles, who has been granted a concession by the Mexican government. The pipe line is to run from Puerto Mexico, on the Gulf coast, to Salina Cruz. on the shore of the Pacific. It is said that the pipe line will follow the Tehuan- tepec railroad. Work on the first pipe line, a 1O-inch line, will begin at once and will be completed within 26 months. The estimated cost of the work will be S1OOO0,OOO, and 1t is pointed out that by means of the pipe line the time of transporting oil from the east to the west coast of Mexico will be cut by II days and the distance covered will be 2,3O0 miles less than through the Panama csnal.- Scientific American.

Claims ts Transplant Eyes.

New eyes for old can be given bliRd creatures, claims a young Hungarian zoOlOgist. He says he can transplant sound eyes from living creatures to others that are blind. Before the Vienna Biological society he said that he had Axperimented first with fishes and frogs. and then with rats, mOles and other small animals. He had Ob- served that fishes which had lost their sight sometimes lost also the cOlOring of their bodies. By replacing their blind eyes with sound ones taken from another living creature, he had re- stored their sight and their cOlOring too. Frogs, when they became blind, gave up seeking food, but with their Eew eyes were as diligent as ever in this respect. Professor KOlmer de clared that he had examined some Of the eyes transplanted by KOppanyi un- der the microscope and had found rEem normal.

BRINGS BACK ACTION OF BRAIN
Remarkable Power Of Smelling $aIts When the Seat OF RORson IS
 Violently Affected.

When Carpentier sent that one ter rife blow against DempSey's chin in the second round of their battle for the championship, end Dempsey stag gered, dazed by it's force, one of his seconds applied a bottle of smelling salts to his nose.
 When a woman faintS, smelling salts are placed beneath her nose, and she revives.
 The reviving effect of smelling salts is due to the ammonia they contain. Aromatic spirits of ammonia have the same effect. Ammonia is q very pow erful stimulant to both the lungs and the heart. In full strength, the fumes of ammonia are intensely irritating to the lungs and throat, as any fireman who has helped to put out q burning factory in which ammonia was stored can testify. In a very weak solution it irritates only sufficiently to stimu- late. When inhaled, the gas affects the nerves ending in the nose, throat and lungs; so quickly do these carry the news to the brain and so instan- taneous is the response by way of the pneumOgastric and other nerves that the lungs expand to draw in air and the heart at once pumps more rap ldly-BuffalO Express.

MENUS OF TOWN AND FARM
Statistics Supplied by Department of Agriculture Reveal Rural Con-
 ditions Notably satisfactory.

"'How are the folks on the farm faring?" is question that is answered with "Tery well, thank you, by the Department of Agriculture at Wash ingtOn. Looking into the average American farm method Of living. rhe department finds that the farmers are as generously supplied with meat as any other class of people. observes Gus Karger in the Cincinnati Times Star. Strangely enough, they don't use eggs as abundantly as the folks else where. but they use more milk, even where there are fewer than the aver age number ot children.
 Except in Southern states, where "Quick" breads are often preferred. wheat bread is the staple. A relative Iy large proportion of starchy Negeta- bles is consumed and relatively small quantity of the green aud sue farm families have the best -OppOrtun- ities for growing vegetables at home The studies of the home economies division of the Department of AgricuI- ture ''hear out the general impress siOn," the report states, that on the average the farmers families have an abundant diet, with enough different kinds of food to insure good health. Whether the food is well cooked and trscttvely served the studies do not show. The fact that almost twice as much cooking fat was used by the farm families as by the general aver age indicates that farm housewives are inclined tO cook too many foods by frying. The only recommendation Is that ii would be well for the farmers to nse more eggs, more coarse cereals, and greater variety 0f vegetables and fruits. especially more green vegetables.
