Weatheruanes Back

Weathervanes, popular a century
ago, and which disappeared from gen.
eral use about generation back. are
coming into vogue again in America.
This probably is due to the increasing
use of copper as a weatherproof mate
rial for the vanes. and the revival of
colonial architecture In contrast to
weathervanes of the past, which were
conventional arrows, horses, or birds,
gilded. the new weathervanes are more
works of art, and lack the garish ap-
pearance impaired by gold leaf

CHAPTER u
Sowing the Dragons Teeth.


That winter the Irons family and
Solomon Binkus went often to the
meetings of the Sons of Liberty. One
purpose Of this organization was to
induce people to Manufacture their
cwn necessities and thus avoid buying
the products of Great Britain. Facto-
ries were busy making looms and
spinning wheels skilled men and
women taught the arts OF spinning,
weaving and tailoring. The slogan
Home made or nothing" Travelled far
and wide.
Late in February Jack Irons and
Solomon Binkus went east as delegates
to large meeting of the Sons of Lib
erty in Springfield. They travelled on
snowshoes and by stage, finding the
bitterness of the people growing more
intense as they proceeded. They found
many women using thorns instead of
pins and knitting one pair of stockings
with the Rawlings OF another. Thev
were also Tossing out their silk go-.ns
and spinning the floss into gloves with
cotton. All this was TO avoid buying
goods sent over, from Great Britain

M'LENDON WILL
 UJNRAVEL TANCLE
Goes To Moulton To Set tie Trustee Land
 Problem

Commission President D. E. Mc- Lendon leaves Tuesday afternoon for Moulton, Ala, to meet with agents of the federal government and attempt to unravel a complicated situation in con nection with the 9S5 acres of land of the Sallie E. Jackson estate in Law renee county, for which the city of Birmingham is trustee.
 This acreage, located in the mineral section in close proximity to the thou sands of acres of coal lands recently purchased by L. B. Musgro'e and as- sociates, is about to be condemned and taken over by the government as a part of its forestry reserve, McLendon said. His trip will be made to see that the interests of the "ity and the estate are fully protected and that the best possible price is obtained for the land from the government.
 Furthermore, McLendon revealed, the deed to the land is lost and he will try to get certified copy from the probate judge of Lawrence county.
 All the commissioners were asked to make the trip, but it appeared Mon- day that only McLendon would go. City Engineer A. J. Hawkins probably will go to Moulton before McLendon returns. The trip may take three days.

EVINS EXPECTS DELEGATE LIST
 OF UNDERWOOD
Senator Passes On Ap-
 pointments-S hOuld [ Reach City Today

Senator Oscar Underwood has passed on Alabama's AS delegates to the Demo- cratic national convention and has for warded the list to R. B. Evins, chair man of the state Democratic executive committee, The Age-Herald was in- formed Monday in a telegram from Walter Moore, Democratic national committeeman from Alabama who is in New York.
 The list will reach MT. Evins Tues day, it is expected, and promptly will be made public by him. While the idea pre- vails that the senator approved the delegation just as it was appointed by Ali Tunstall and former Governor B. B. Conner, this will not be definitely known until the list reaches Evins, as the senator flatly refused to make statement in Washington, saying he thought it best for Evins to handle the matter at this end of the line.
 In his telegram, Committeeman Moore announced he had called a meet ing of the entire Alabama delegation for next Monday morning at II o'clock in the Imperial hotel. New York, for the purpose of organizing and selecting members of the various committees.
 T earnestly request that all the delegates be present at this meeting" declared Mir. Moore.
 All 48 delegates are ready to leave for the convention Thursday. Their New York headquarters will be in the Imperial hotel. Many Alabamians who are not delegates are planning to leave with the delegation.
 According to advices from Washing ton, Senator Underwood accompanied his list of delegates with a formal statement, which also will be given out by Chairman Evins on its arrival.
