SELMA SEEKING U BECOME STATION FUR AIR SERVICE
Advantages of Field Shown Government Authorities. Representative JefferS
 Presents Case

SELMA Ala, Feb. 11.-(Special.) J. Steps to have Selma placed on the map as a landing place for airplanes, in order that this city may be eligible for consideration. by the air service department of the government, now mapping out a proposed system of airways, have been taken by the Chamber of Commerce, aided by Rep resentatfve Lamar Jeffers, and there have been filed with Captain Wright of the airways section photographs showing Selma's splendid landing field on Nsrth Broad street and the aerial sign on the post office build ing, which is visible to flyers from distance of several miles.
 These pictures, taken by Lfeuten- ant Maxwell of Maxwell field, were sent on through Maj, Roy Brown. commander of Maxwell field, Mont gomery, who has evinced interest in Selma's development as a landing point for planes. Recently Major Brown selected this city as the place for field service for his squadron, and he will bring fully 100 men and number of planes here early in the summer for maneuvers.
 Representative Jeffers has secured much information of value to the Chamber of Commerce and those in- terested in promoting the develop ment of Selma under the national air ways plan. Representative Jeffers. in talk with Captain Wright of the airways sections, found that if line should be run from Montgomery through Meridian and Vicksburg to Dallas, Tex, Selma would be in cluded.
 This city now boasts of one of the best landing fields in the country, we'll marked and clearly diseernible from the air.

Birth Of An Island.

Volcanic energy may well be the
basis Of those ancient stories Of a
dead Atlantis. Authentic modern his
tory tells US enough. indeed, to forbid
too stern a scepticism. There. for ex-
ample, Is the island Of Torca, which
existed as a thing Of beauty In the
Indian ocean till one day In June,
1898. Early In the morning OF that
day its volcano burst into unusual
activity. Within four days the noun
tain backbone Of the island was a
molten mass, which began to sink into
the sea. Then came central lake
of boiling lava. On July IS the last
islander fed to Amboy, and the his
tory Of once fertile island was fin
ished. Perhaps the only captain who
has ever been present at the birth Of
an island was Russian, who gave his
name to the apparition--Bogoslof
This little smoking horror came into
being In the Aleutian isles on May 1,
1895; and to this day, although d.
minished from its original three-mile
circumference It still belches smoke
and steam.

BRITISH LABoRER IN LUCK
Old Coin Probably Worth In the
Neiohborhood Of $1,000 Found
by Allotment Worker.

An allotment worker at Sheffield
while digging .his plot saw what ap-
peared to be round piece of cardboard,
says q London Daily News item. He
was surprised to find, however, that 1t
was silver coin Of antique origin,
but in a state Of good preservation.
At the time he did not make In
quiries as to its value, but while In q
London shop few days ago 1t dropped
from some loose change In his hand.
A customer In the Shop, seeing the
coin, offered pound (S4.20) for 1t,
which the owner refused.
On returning to Sheffield he made In
quiries and found that the coin was q
Charles I crown, and 1t Is probably
worth $50 pounds, $1,2O0) as In the
period when the coin was mlnted silver
was rare commodity.
There is q possibility Of further
valuable finds, as the particular allot-
ment lies near to the site Of Sheffield
castle, which was besieged by the Par
Elementary troops In 1645.
The site of this once formidable
stronghold in which, at one time, Mary
Queen Of Scots, was prisoner, is now
called Castle hill. From time to time
coins and other articles have been
found, and experts believe there Is no
doubt that many valuable relics lie In
the vicinity Of the castle.

PIONEER IN PLAYING CARDS
Mexican Articles Of 1890 Became ImI.
tators Of the spanish
s&,i invaders. {-is

In 1880 the manufacturers of Pueblo
and Oaxaca produced silk and wooden
goods equal to the average Of Euro
pean standards, and, curiously enough,
or perhaps as ON indication Of the
habits Of the Colonial Spaniards, play
ing cards were made In great numbers
(9.OO0 dozen one authority states). In
the. Museum Of the Indies In Seville,
Spain, there is a pack Of playing cards
made In 1888. The faces Of these
cards are limitations Of the European
types. but the backs represent Aztec
scenes and caricatures Of the Span
iards. These were made from wood
blocks. perhaps the first cut In the new
world.
OF all the European races that esrne
to the new world, Dutch. English,
French and Spanish, the Spaniards had
the most to give In matters artistic,
For they had not only reminisceues
Of splendid and vigorous Gothic trs-
dition. but the great enrichment Of
eight centuries of contact with the
MoOrs. the recent conquest Of their
splendid cities and a far extended trade
In the Levant.
Spain was peculiarly fortunate In the
fact that her Argosies touched the most
cultivated and highly civilized people
In the new world. They.were crafts
men equal TO any that Europe knew.
They had arts as highly developed as
any brought to them by their con-
querors. But itNis the record Of art
history that the more highly developed
the peoples are that come In contact,
the surer are they to borrow one from
the other. The dramatic entrance Of
the Spaniards their apparent tustif-
cation Of the ancient miracles recorded
In native folk stories regarding the
bearded white strangers from the sea,
their unquestioned military strength
and the interest that always Is asso-
ciated with the exotic, all strongly
moved the native artisans and crafts
men to imitation.-M. %. c. Crawford

LIZARD EGGS, CAUSE SCARE
Housewives In England Believed They
Were Being Sold Eggs Of
Reptilian Origin.

It's misuse Of words to say
"trade Is dull" Sales may be slow or
business bad; but trade Is never dull.
And truth even about trade can be
more fascinating than fiction. On
trade our very civilization stands It's
trade that tempts men to war, and war
makes heroes, adventure, romance and
love! Trade-commerce- be-
tween men and nations, in one Of its
myriad phases, Matched the plot for
every story ever written. So long as
men barter and sell and fight over their
possessions, comedy and drama VIII
find their plots.
Sometimes In trade there develops
the ridiculous. For instance; English
housewives threw a fit lately when the
alarm was spread that big lizard eggs
were sold In the markets and labeled
"hen eggs" They had been shipped
in from China and Egypt, the story
said, and excitement was SO great the
women didn't calm down until an
agent from the geological society ap-
peared in the house Of commons and
testified as an expert that England
wasn't being fed on lizard eggs.
London bought 25O.OO0,OOO eggs from
the East last year; many Of these, he
said, were so much smaller than the
average hen egg that the cry started
about their being Of reptilian origin.
The tree-climbing Gecho lizard does
lay a falr-sized. hard-shelled egg-ft
for food-we are told. But she's not
built to stand the wear and tear OF
laying eggs as big as hen frutt.-Na-
