REALTORS TO DISCUSS GRAYMONT ZONIN G
Settlement Of Situation Seems As
 sured, According To Citizens

Settlement of the zone discussion in Graymont seems assured from re- cent developments, according to citi- zens of the community and real estate men interested in the handling of property in that section. The Bir- mingham real estate board will dis cuss it al their luncneon at the Tut wiler at 1 o'clock Thursday.
 Definite lines of demarcation for areas to be occupied by both races have been set and are expected to be made permanent. A negro family that had moved into the section to be used exclusively for white people, moved out a few days ago and satis- factory arrangements were made for all interested.
 Tn the case where negro was planning to buy the white section the discussion of the sale was stopped.
 The Graymont Civic association is in earnest about firmly establishing and keeping to regulations for keep ing both sections exclusively invio- late and has held several meetings lately at which the subject was the chief topic of discussion.
 ! Getting the new park recently pur- chased for Graymont and vicinity by the city in usable condition is an- other matter before the association and one which they are very much in- terested. The park improvement has been taken up with city officials and interest is looked for In the matter.

 Investigation

 THE AGE-HERALD MOntRonlery Ala ,JuIV 2h

Senator Brewers bill prohibiting the leasing or hiring of county con- victs after January 1, 1924, will be given consideration despite the Long resolution. which expressed the sense" of the legislature that there should be no Legislation on the sub ject during the present session.
 The senate committee on finance and taxation Wednesday voted man imously to create subcommittee and to place upon 1t the duty of inyes- tigating the bill. Members Of this subcommittee, who were named at once. are Senator Brewer and Sena- tors J. T. Carlton and E. F. IIildreth This gave the opposition to the aboli- ton Legislation majority of one on the ubCommittee, as Senator Brewer is in favor of abolition, while Sena- tors Carlton and Hildredth are aligned with the administration in its effort to prevent change in the law at the present session.
 The committee decided to make the investigation through q subcommit- tee without debate. Senator Brewer called up his bill, which he intro duced Tuesday, and the motion for the creation of the subcommittee was made after he had stated his position regarding the bill. No vote was cast against the motion.

 In his address to the committee Senator Brewer declared that county convicts, the hiring of whom would be prohibited by his bil are now leased to private interests without restrictions and without supervision;

Alabama Statesman Warns Of "BIaCk Cloud In West"
 Caused By Low Wheat Due To Conditions Abroad
HIS REGENT UTTERANCE BLAMED ADMINISTRATION
Speaking Before Birmingham
 Rotary Club He Urges BuSi- ness To Do Their Share In AVerting Impending Crisis

Warning the nation that the "black cloud of the vest caused by fail ure of the wheat market, will affect the entire country just as did the failrure of the south's cotton market in 1914, Senator oscar Underwood of Alabama Wednesday laid the blame for present conditions in the north west and in Europe at the door of the republican administration, speaking before the Birmingham Rotary club.
 If American business is to sur vive In the future. it is absolutely imperative that our products have a market in Europe and an European market cannot exist until stabilized governments have been established" Senator Underwood declared. In an interview Friday afternoon with an Age-Herald representative he charged the administration with re- sponsibility for unstable conditions la Europe, because of it's lack of policy.
 o O o
 Need European Market.
 Tn order that we may market all we produce in America one-half of our cotton, one third of our meat. and one-third of our wheat crops must be sold in Europe" said Senator Un- derwood. The law of supply and demand rules the commercial and financial world and nothing can change this economic principle. We must have a market for what we pro- duce or else we will fall financially. America has to depend upon Europe in q large way for a market. As no market can be obtained in a coun- try where there is no stabilized form of government we find that a large part of Europe will be exempt from prospective markets and this reverts back to us the products which We had hoped to sell in Europe"
 Senator Underwood was intror duced by Judge ". |. Grubb. United States district judge, a Rotarian. and was hailed as a fellow Rotarian by the club members. Senator Under wood a few years ago was elected an honorary member of the Birmingham club.
 After having expressed apprecia- tion at being back in Birmingham and for the invitation to speak, Sem ator Underwood launched quickly into his address, sounding a note of warning against the black cloud of the west" which was caused by the failure in the market of wheat.
 Failure To Affect Nation.
 We may feel in the south that the failure of the wheat market affects only the north and the northwest" stated Senator Underwood. but that is not the case, when our own cotton crop failed in 1914 because we could not get vessels to carry our cotton to Europe, the effect of it was felt over

STOCKHOLM. July 25.-"The uni- versailles and high schools of Latin America are largely under the domi- nation of men who do not believe in God" declared Rev. F. M Edwards of Brazil, reporting Wednesday on conditions in South America to the Baptist World Alliance.
 He stated that thousands are talk ing up spiritual atheism in South America, and that the condition pre- vails largely in the student group.
 Dr. Joseph Taylor, representative of the American Baptist Foreign Missionary society in China, declared that China will take up Christianity when convinced by actual test that the religion meets the varied needs of the individuals of the nation.
 Tt remained for Chinese Chris tan to pack the principles of Christ in one pregnant phrase" Dr. Taylor said. Native Chinese Christians are not all able to see everything alike, and at one of their conventions adopted a resolution to the effect that We are agreed to differ, but resolved to love- This can well be received and adopted by us of the west"

ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE LIQUOR AND KEEP 1T FREE FROM POISONOUS SUBSTANCE
Haynes Describes Methods Of Manufacture And Says, "Who Drinks Bootleg Drinks With Death"-Poison- ous Connections Are Not Fixed Up Intentionally

fortunately. chemical research in this
 field has not been exhaustive and it cannot be said with certainty just
 why new liquor is many times over more poisonous than that properly aged.
 Whisky Not Purified.
 One thing, however, is known; the harmful constituents of new whisky can be removed in only two ways. One Is by fractionating in an alcohol column. The other is by aging in a wooden barrel. The first of these methods is not practicable for the present day moonshiner to adopt. The other he does not practice; often he sells his wares warm from the still.
 Chemists of the internal revenue who made thousands of analyses of aged-in- wood ltIuor be- fore prohibition note that samples of stuff obtained In raids on moonshine stills now coming into the laboratory show a high content of acetaldehyde. The acid, ester and fusel oil content is not materially differnt from those of former analyses. In fact, there is more fusel oil in aged than in new liquor, which upsets a theory that the harmful effects of new whisky are due to fusel oil. The higher content of acetaldehyde alcohol con verted into something approaching acetic acld) Is thought sufficient give the moonshine everything Il. ct.- ed to deliver a complete knockout. Such biological experiments as have been made with acetaldehyde show that 1t affects the blood vessels, the stomach, the kidneys, the liver. the
