Chief Rush Randall has eonducto cd . successful campaign against beg gars and itinerant peddlers, which formerly infested tho business aeo- ton. Police regulations have been adopted forcing beggars and pedd,era to stay off Nineteenth street and Second avenue, from Eighteenth to Twentieth street, and their recent enforcement has been the occasion of generally expressed satisfaction among tho merchants and the public as well.
 Bessemer has long been the mag net for number of professional beg Ears and peddlers, particularly on Saturdays, which arc usually big pay days in this district, Chief Randall and his force went after enforcement of their new regulations in a sys- tematic manner, with the result that as soon as the busiest streets were closed to the peddlers they left the city. Merchants and others inter- ested in keeping the streets clear of this type of parasite are asked to assist the police in reporting their appearance on the streets.

BESSEMEH CLEANEST CITY Bessemer won the prize offered by the Federated Clubs of Alabama. as the cleanest city in the state in the year 1922, according to an announce ment made at the meeting of the Civic Improvement league Friday afternoon. Bessemer was awarded this honor because of the large amount of civic work completed in this year, much of which was due to efforts by this organization.
 The Civic Improvement League will get behind the movement to prevent chickens running at large and will ask several civic bodies to assist them in having laws passed to re- quire owners of chickens in the city to pen their fowls securely. This

PREVENTS FOG FROM RISING

Experiments made at Pittsburgh
seem to indicate that it is possible
to dispel fog. The experiment
consisted of lubricating the Monon-
gahela river from Rice's Landing to
a point one and one-half miles up
stream.
Notified by the weather bureau
that cold wave would sweep
through the valley, scientists took
the government, boat Evelyn, a der
rick and barge fitted with sprink-
ling apparatus and proceeded to
Rice's Landing. As the cold air and
warmer water met and fog began to
form, thin spray Of oil and or
ganic acid was spread over a broad
area of the river. The fog dissi-
pated rapidly. The oil prevented
union of the air and water.

BIRDS AS GARDENERS

If You want to have a successful
garden this spring you do not want
to overlook the fact that dozen or
so feathered friends are ready and
willing to help you. They will work
for you free of charge and will even
pay you in song for the privilege of
helping to make your garden more
successful. After you have been
working your garden, if you watch
closely, you will see a number of
these assistants fly down on the new
ly turned earth and begin to pick
up and eat or fly away with the
worms and bugs. Then, when the
vegetables are growing nicely, your
friends will be busy picking off
harmful insects of all kinds, making
the vegetables healthier. They will
be working in your garden early in
the morning. In fact, it is hard
job trying to have a garden without
The help of these bird gardeners.

FLAX CULTIVATION

The hope has always been held
out by the Department Of Agricul-
ture that the raising of flax of a
fine quality may become an impor-
tant industry in our country. Ex-
periments in this direction have, it
is said, proved most successful
around Puget Sound, in the state
of Washington. The soil and eli
mate there are held to be equal for
flax raising to those of the best flax
producing regions of Europe. Puget
Sound flax has been experimental
with at one of the great linen fac
tories in Ireland and found to be of
excellent quality.

SNAKE THAT "PLAYS POSTUM,
American Reptile Is Expert IN r.,z.
ing Death When There is
Danger at Hand.

VI the numerous species of snakes
which populate the earth that known
as the American hog-nosed snake ia
an expert in the practice of reicp-
ing death, says W. S. Berridge, in
"Marvels of the Animal World > II
is a small species, rarely exceeding
three and a half feet in length, and
IS remarkable for its curious up-
turned and shovel-like snout. which
serves it in good stead when bur-
rowing.
In spite Of the fact that it is quite
harmless and seldom bites human
being, no matter how much it NAV
be provoked, the natives of its habi-
tat regard is as being poisonous.
This belief is due, doubtless. to the
habits Of the reptile, for, when
alarmed, it does its best to disguise
itself as yenomous cobra by raising
Its head and expanding the skin
folds Of its neck, accompanying the
action by kissing vigorously. Should
these tactics fail, it then shams
death as last resource, writhing it's
body about as if it were in convul-
sions, and finally rolling over upon
its back and remaining motionless.
