SERVICE EXTENDED

Work of installing caDleS ana poles on the southside by the South ern Bell Telephone company was completed the past week, and will open telephone service to a number of blocks in that section. The new cables and poles there have been in stalled at a cost of $1S,000, and the construction crews will now devote their time to placing cables and poles on the northside of the city.
 This Improvement in the service has been the first on a large scale since the war. Due to the fact the company experienced difficulty in se- curing material as fast as the de- mand warranted, new cables and poles were not placed for several years. In this time the demand for phones at Bessemer increased con siderably, with the result that at this time there are several hundred applicants for phones. These appll- cations are to be filled as soon as the cables in the various parts of the city are completed
 Telephone service is to be extended to those sections of the northslde where numbers of new homes have been built in the past few months. The construction crew here is large one and has been engaged in placing additions to the Bessemer plant for the past teveral weeks.

 Trip Saturday

Birmingham flyers who left Bir- mingham Saturday morning for St. Louis arrived in the Missouri city after four hours and fifty-six minutes actual flying time, according to mes- sages received by The Age-HeraId Saturday night.
 Those who made the trip were Capt. A. N. Duncan, army instrl ctor of the Hath Observation squardon, Alabama national guard, and Capt. w. V. M. Robertson, Jr., of the same organization. A message from Cap tain Robertson stated that they flew across seven states and had a won- derful trip. They were scheduled to make two or three stops en route for fuel and oil.
 The local officers are in St. Louis to attend the aerOnautical congress, where airmen from all over the coun- try are assembled and where some of the greatest flying ever witnessed in the United States is to be staged. Some of them had stringed instru- ments and we played and sang until 1O:30.
 "The next morning we went to Moro Rock a climb of 2,O0O feet. We had to rest four times, but we were amply repaid for the trouble, for you never could ina zine such view. We carved out names there, along with hundreds of others, among which were Mary Picllford and Doug Wally Reid and many other movie folk.'

Sometime ago the movement was
launched to establish a court for de-

law, has appointed C. L. Mattox,
ordinary Of Ware county, as judge,
and Charles n. Wilson, prominent in
the Boy Scout movement here, pro-
baton officer of the new court,
which will begin to function in the
next few days.
The step was taken here as re-
suit of the activities Of Crawford

ton, who spent two days in the city
in the interests of the court. MI.
Jackson spoke in one Of the largest
