P ROM OT|ON DAY .IS OBSE RVED IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS EnsIey Christian Church
 Workers Arrange For
 Annual Banquet
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD Ensley- Ala Sent. 20

It was estimated Sunday that over 2,000 children were promoted in the various Sunday schools of the Ensley district. Every Baptist and Method ist Sunday school held promotion day services and special programs were rendered in each church. It was be- lieved that the First Baptist church of Ensley promoted more than any other church for over 700 Sunday school boys and girls from teen age to adults were participants in an ex- tensive program rendered at that church. The program was composed of many interesting features and lasted over into the service hour.
 At the First Methodist church hum dreds of Sunday school students were sent up in their progress through the classes. This is also true of the Fairview Methodist church, the Ems ley Highland church, the Hunter Street Methodist, Pike Avenue Meth odist and other clutches of the dis trict.
 The announcement was made at nearly all of the schools that the past year had been one of excep- various classes, but that half the needed accomplishmen had not been realized. The goal was set for greater results during the next 12 months, and redoubled efforts will be exerted to bring about achievements which will surpass those already se cured by the training schools of the Ensley district.
 It Is expected that schools will have in many instances secured larger quarters during the coming year. Some of them are badly in need of more space and others have during the past 12 months increased their schools. However, all of the Sunday schools of this city are filled to overflowfng and in some cases more spacious quarters are impera- tive

WIRING OF COTTON GINS
REDUCES LOSSES BY FIRE

Investigation by the United States
Department OF Agriculture has
shown that a great many Of the fires
in cotton gins, which in some season
cause losses in excess OF a million
dollars, are caused by static electric
ity which collects in certain parts OF
the machinery as a result OF friction.
There are other causes. such as
matches in the cotton. overheated
bearings. friction between the saws
and cotton stuck in the ribs. and
sparks caused by pieces Of metal and
other foreign particles passing thru,
but static electricity is an important
cause and one which may be con.
trolled.
II certain parts of the machinery in
the gin are grounded by proper wir.
ing any electricity will be drained Off
and no sparks will be formed The
Department OF Agriculture has issued
circular. No. 271, in which the sys-
tenn Of wiring is explained and shown

grounding system is now recognized
