MARY NILES MINTER'S NEW
PICTURE IS REAL DRAMA.

notwithstanding though its
title is, and despite the fact that Mary
Miles Minter has almost always been
associated with roles of the sweet
sixteen type, her latest Realart pic
ture for Famous Players-Lasky dis
tribution, The Heart Specialist"
possesses dramatic punch seldom
equalled upon the screen. 1t will be
presented at the Kenworthy theatre,
Wednesday.
With this picture Miss Minter def
initely enters the ranks of the dra-
matte queens of the screen, for the
role which she interprets is one
which makes great demands upon her
histrionic ability and enables her to
show phases of her art never before
revealed on the screen The story
tells of how a young romance writer,
sent out by her editor to gain new
insight into the heart romances
which she is writing, finds it in
surprising manner in a more sur
prising place. But not until she has
fought with crooks, matched wits
with half cra3ed doctor, been
thrown down a well and generally
treated in such way as to make
the young man she ultimately wins,
proud of her.
Mary Morrison, a prominent maya
zine writer wrote the story and Frank
Urson directed. Allen Forrest is lead
ing man, the remaining members of
the supporting cast being Noah
Berry, Carmen Phillips, Jack Matheis,
and James Neill

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER SUSPECT IT.
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public, there is one prepare
ton that has been very successful in
overcoming these conditions. The
mild and healing influence of DR.. Kill
n1er's SWamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its remark
able record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so many appii-
Giants for insurance are rejecred is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
and large.
However, If you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer and Co., Binghanton,
NY, for sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention this paper

PRISCILLA DEAN NEARLY
LOSES LIFE IN MINE BLAST

Getting " the real thing" unexpect-
eddy nearly cost the life of Priscilla
Dean in the filming of the Hobart
Henley Universal-Jewel special, The
Flame of Life" which will be seen at
the Liberty theatre next Saturday.
Miles of underground tunnels of a
temporary nature and deep shafts
were constructed for the story, which
concerns the people of mining, Will
age in North England. A whole min
ing town was built.
In the tunnel coal and coal dust
was carefully deposited, some of the
dust covering all, and big lodges of
coal were inserted in the walls.
Realism is what producers of the
better kind go after in such special
productions as this.
Realism was what Universal got, III
a nearly fatal degree.
Thrilling scenes of the picture show
the explosion of gas in the mine, fire
damp" when a miner exposes his
light and smokes, followed by "black
damp" the deadly gas of the mines.
In the midst of the filming of the
scenes preliminary to the actual eX-
plosion, the coal in the tunnels, laid
three weeks before, produced a gas
which was suddenly ignited when a
technical man lit his pipe.
Whole sections of the temporary
frame work in the tunnels were shat
tered and caught fire. Earth cracked
and chunks fell, but, luckily the tun-
mel in which they were working did
not cave in. 1t was an escape by
miracle, the closest the star or her
director, Hobart Henley, had ever
seen.
The Flame of Life y was filmed
with an exceptionally fine cast includ-
ing such noted players as Robert Ellis

UNITY OF STATE AND PORT

Birmingham should, and those who real ize its extent and continuity do, appreciate the business which is done with Japan in our iron and steel products. Year in and year out Japan steadily takes large tonnages of rails and plates, sulphate of ammonia, wire, nails and other product of Birmng- ham mills and furnaces. This trade has held up the steel industry of Birmingham when there was not much else on which to rely. In 1922 Japan was the heaviest inn porter of American steel products. Of the total of 2,000 000 tons which were exported Japan took 5000 tons, or close to a third, Canada coming next, then Cuba, Mexico, Argentina and Chile in the order named.
 Japan takes much of the production of Northern mills not turned out in the South, but where the South does produce what she wants in steel goods she is regular and urifaiIing importer of heavy tonnages. Au- tomatically the Steel corporation diverts its oriental steel business to the Birmingham mills. The reason is simple. After procuc- ton of the goods out of materials assembled at". low cost from convenient sources, there is the Warrior to convey the finished product to the coast at low-cost transporta- tion, and there are ships at Mobile to carry

VALUE OF TERRACING

The value of terracing farm lands is be- ing demonstrated in striking manner i'll Alabama A report from l.. c. LeBron, specialist in agricultural engineering for the state extension service, shows that approxi- mately two million and half dollars of value has been added to the states farm lands by reason of this method of holding the moisture and preventing washing of the land. Five hundred thousand acres have been terraced, largely under the direction of the county agents, and five dollars per acre is the added loanable value, according to Mr. LeBron. The actual value of ter racing is greater even than that. It means in many instances the saving of the life of the soil and great benefits in increased pro- ductivity, to say nothing of great ultimate saving of labor. The service being rendered to the farmers of the state by the county agents in this regard is well nigh incalcula- ble, this along with other improved methods so noticeable in marking the progress away from the former loose and obsolete practices, which, without the assistance of scientific system, caused loss of fertility. Than the scientific study of farming and the adoption of all improved methods there is nothing of greater importance to Alabama.

LEO DETERMINES TO COME

Not alone does the adventure of Leo Castle of Alberta, Canada, show rare pluck on the woud-be immigrants part, and it re- quires no end of pluck to cross the Niagara Falls on ten-inch girder, but it is power ful testimonial to the lure of these United States If this country were in need of a press agent, there would probably be bill boards picturing this novel example of de- termination in attaining access to it erected on all our consular preserves The trouble with Leo was that he couldn't pay the eight dollars required as head tax upon foreigners coming into our domains, so, hoping not to be caught by the immigrant inspectors, he decided to come without the price. One hundred and fifty feet above the rapids there is railway cantilever bridge, with girder under the tracks. Under the girder therer is nothing but the rapids, and, of course, death. Castle walked the girder and at times almost ran, those who saw him say. The immigrant inspectors caught him on this side and sent him back to Canada. Prob ably he has returned to the United States by now, paying the price of admission, which he said he intended to do. Eight dol lars is not much of an obstacle to determi- nation such as his. While we don't have to billboard his exploit, there is still room among us and plenty of opportunity for young men with grit.

THE FARMERS FIND A WAY

Proof that the only permanent cure for the much-discussed troubles of the farmer lies in his own organized efforts is further shown by the recent purchasing record of the Farm Bureau. This organization has just saved the farmers two hundred thous- and dollars on the purchase of fifteen thous- and tons of nitrate of soda. While this was being done congress was debating an ap- propration of ten million dollars to buy nitrate of soda and sell it to faymers at cost. Had the proponents of the appropia- tion really been informed as to the needs of the farmer, they would have known, both that he was already buying comparatively at price as low as the government could buy and that the appropriation would come too late to do much good this season, even had it been needed. Besides, the farm as- sociations purchase their materials not

to destination at another low-cost transpor- tation. That is why Japan takes so much of the districts production. The destiny of Birmingham as producer is inextricably interwoven with that of the Port of Mobile. No seaport and inland district were ever more closely knit in bonds of common in- terest. It is good to realize that this is being more and more understood and that all Alabama has arrived at clear and con- vincing appreciation of what its port stands for in the scheme of the states welfare.

have the best of the argument and are bound to win if they continue to demand adequate protection of this important food supply, because they have the public welfare back of them. No private purpose can hold first place when the common good is concerned. If that were tolerated in one case, it might be with justice demanded in another ana that would result in each man passing on his own case The logical consequence of such a procedure as that would be no gov ernment at all but each man doing as he did before there was a state of society. There would be no such thing as the public welfare to which all private interests must be subservient if it is to be preserved. Governing officials are bound to sense the meaning of an earnest citizenship of men and women bent on the public good, ano they cannot escape it's instructions. More over, officials are always on the right side when they do that which has the backing of intelligent citizenship.

PAYROLLS AND BUSINESS

Again and again be it said that it IS greatness to be producer such as is Bir- mingham An industrial army of 10000 to 5O,OO0 men is to begin receiving wage advance effective next Friday. In this host there are 27,000 coal miners, 1000 to 5000 ore miners and the rest are mechanics at shops and mills of various kinds. The larger numbers of women and children de- pendent on these workers are to enjoy the increase; the retail stores will enjoy it, and the wholesalers and jobbers will share It's usufruct through larger sales to merchants and to the producing interests. Not only will the scale of wages be higher, but the men working at the higher scale will have steady occupation at these wages, which IS the same as to say that payrolis are to make a new high record. There will be more money coming out of district produc- tion commencing two weeks after Friday with the first paydays under the wage ad- vance than has ever flowed from that source.
 That is what comes of being in district which produces. Production calls for work CTS and workers mean wages. These wages go for the living of the men who earn them and that means that they enter the pockets of all those from whom they must purchase that on which they live. The savings banks, the building and loan associations, life insur- ance companies and real estate owners feel the immediate impact of the payroll. It builds churches and supports schools. When Birminghams varied interests, even those not vsibly connected with iron, steel and coal, prosper, it is because production is at a high point. When they see business fall ing off, glance at the status of iron and steel mills and the foundries will explain the decline.
 So it should not only be a pleasure to realize that 10000 to 50,o00 industrial workers are to receive a greater compensa- tion for their toll, but there should also be a kindly feeling to these toilers in that they are to share these payrolls with their neigh bors Nor should those who are remotest from the coal, iron and steel ever forget that the payrolls start here.

German propaganda has been busy in this country and elsewhere trying to make out a case against the French. One of the chief bulwarks of this program has been the state ment that France intends to annex the oc- cupied- territory. This charge has suddenly had the props knocked out from under it by the recent joint French and Belgian an- nouncement that withdrawal of troops from the occupied zone would begin as soon as Germany begins to pay her reparations.

ALABAMA'S COKE INDUSTRY

Strides of the most economic process of producing coke in the by-product oven have been remarkable and nowhere has the pro- gress been more marked than in Alabama. Of the total coke production of the coun- try in 1921, according to the census bureau, the by-product production was 68.2 per cent. and that of beehive coke was 2l.S per cent, while in 1914, seven years before, the per centage of by-product coke was 32.5 per cent. and that of beehive coke 67.5 per cent In these brief seven years the rela- tive positions of the economic and wasteful process were reversed.
 The beehive oven is doomed to an early and total discard. For not only does the by-product process produce coke at less cost, but there are the added values of ben zol. sulphate of ammonia, solvent naptha and the many other substances, which, in turn, are themselves converted into thous- ands of articles used in the arts, the sciences, in medicine, in war and in peace.
 In Alabama there are 1895 by-product ovens in seven different plants with yearly \ consumption of 6,540,000 tons of coal and a yearly capacity of 4,750,000 tons of coke. The ammonia by-products are extensively exported and the cruder forms of tar form the coating for our streets and highways, enter into roofing material and serve hundred useful purposes, while the oils are converted into the more finished by-pro- ducts in the chemists laboratories. It IS several decades between Alabama'S struggle to convince the world that her coals were suited to coking and that point where she is third state in the union in the produc- tion of coke in the by-product oven, but it has been fine exercise for indomitabe spirits and triumph of truth over prejudice

------------------ INTRODUCING ALABAMA

Those communities that have become and are becoming industrial centers throughout Alabama owe much of their expansion to the advertising of their opportunities. This advertising may have been general and addressed to the country at large, or it may have been specific and directed privately to those likely to be interested in the op- . portunity offered. Alabama industrially IS like bud still swelling. Not yet has it grown to full size, and not yet is it ready to burst into the full bloom of an adult prosperity. The natural wealth is so great and the invitation to capital so varied that as yet there is only the beginning of wna. shall be.
 The consummation of Aabamas produc- tive destiny cannot be realized in day. It is process of growth that will continue long after the present generation has been laid away. Nevertheless, it is within the ability of those now living to contribute great share to the states development. Each community in the state has its peculiar opportunities, resources and invitations to investment. Much of Alabama's capital is engaged elsewhere in various enterprises in OtHeI Sldtes, anu III CHc ScCuliIieS DdShCu by such enterprises. There is much Ala bama capital or credit which is available for local investment. There is need also for the bringing in of outside capital. Once here, it is Alabama's, for the enjoyment of capitals usufruct here is bound to be perpetual.
 One of the surest ways of attracting capi- tai, or of inducing capital to engage m ur- dertakings of various kinds is for each con- munity to make study of it's own resources and to publish the results to the world. As striking example of how this may be done one may take recent editorial in the An niston Star in which the editor calls to pub lie attention the fact that Anniston is po- tential producer of glass. Says the Star: "Al around Anniston are the metallic oxides and silica needed in glass manufacture. The mineral deposits are abundant in the things needed for making glass. In addition, An niston has suitable climate, abundant labor, excellent shipping facilities, proximity to world markets through the Mobile port and every possible advantage in sites for plants. The securing of glass-making plants here should not be difficult, once the natural ad- vantages are impressed manufacturers. Doubtless giass-makers who have labored under difficulties in the North would be eager to move their plants to the South as are the cotton manufacturing concerns, if they could be shown that such a move would be profitable"
 The Star has the right idea. The proper policy for communities to follow, if they would build themselves up, is to introduce themselves and their advantages to those likely to respond to such invitation. The Anniston Star is also setting fine example when it lends itself so heartily to the adver- Using of its community to the extent of it's influence That is the way to place Ala bama before the country
