hour at an altitude of about ten
miles. :
At such height the rarity OF the
atmosphere would constitute a disad-
vantage both to the ordinary motor
md the ordinary propeller. But this
difficulty can he overcome, declares
Mr.. Lindequist. by using n propeller
with adjustable blades. so that the
pitch of the blades could be altered
with the density of the air. and by
using special comrressors for the
motor which would compensate for
the decrease in barometric pressure
at high attitudes.
Such motor probably would have
to develop about 1000 horsepower
Mr.. Lindcauist declares that tire
problems of the adjustable propeller
and aerial compression motor can be
solved

AUDITORS READY
 FOR FINAL CHECK
Full Report On City Hall Finan-
 ces Coming Soon

Letters to all taxpayers who appear to owe public improvement assessments had been mailed out Saturday by the accountants in charge of the city hall audit.
 Checking of the replies against the books will begin this week, F. Hop- kinson Smith, senior auditor, an- nOunced. He said the check-up could be completed in short order if replies are sent in promptly.
 Meanwhile, Mir. Smith greets report CTS with the daily announcement that there is nothing new" He promises that his report to the city commission will reveal the exact status of affairs and list all shortages, If any"
 Commission President D. E. Me Lendon conferred briefly with Mir. Smith Saturday morning, and stated later that rapid progress" was being made.
 The mystery surrounding the re- ported shortage of $6,5O0 in accounts of the Alabama Great Southern rail road, it appears, will not be cleared up until Smiths final report is submitted. Before he began his work, city officials had announced total shortages of $37,- OOU. The A. c. s. discrepancy, if it really exists, is in the accounts of the previous administration, presided over by Dr. N. A. Barrett as commission president.

 M CARTS ACTION
Conferences Being Held On
 'Pittsburg Plus Decision

The United States Steel corporation has until Monday September 22, to indicate what court action, if any, will be taken regarding the Federal Trade commission "Pittsburg Plus" decision. Constant conferences are being held be- tween Judge Elbert Henry Gary, his staff, and the presidents, and counsel for all the associated companies. It is intimated that the corporati will appeal the case. It is recalled that Judge Gary has said that the corpora tiOn would not be satisfied with any thing less that final decision. The decision of the Federal Trade commits sion cannot be taken as final, accord ing to local industrial men.
 It has been rumored that the con- ference result will be to eliminate the Pittsburg price and substitute a price of Chicago plus for steel products. If this plan is adopted, it will mean an increase of $2 over Pittsburg, accord ing to information here.
 Indications are that Judge Gary will issue formal statement during the next few days as to .the decision of the conference held in his offices.

BIBLE TALKS HEARD
 AT CONVICT CAMP

Intense interest is said to have been manifested by the inmates of Truss vile prison camp in the special courses of Bible study which have been con dueted from week to week under the direction of E. H. Rowe of the Adams, Rowe and Norman Coal and Coke company. The lessons are governed by the subjects adopted by the Associated Sunday School society and are held i'll addition to the regular services once each month by the county chaplain.
 The Bible study is held each Sun day afternoon at 3 o'clock and usually include talks by former inmates of the camp and by leading men of the community besides the regular Sunday school lesson. The theory of the lead CTS of the move is that punishment alone fails to have the desired effect on law-breakers. and that a convict is urgently in need of spiritual guidance and instructive education of religious topics. The convicts are reported to rally eagerly to the weekly meetings, which have been declared great sue cess

ROAD TO SERVE JOB AT CHEROKEE  Line Will Haul 10000 Cars During Big Con-
 structiOn

A standard guage railroad extending from Asbury, Ala. to Cherokee Bluff. where the a$29, 100000 water power construction is going forward, has been constructed by the Alabama Power company.
 The price of the railroad was not given, but it is understood that the line will haul about 10000 railroad cars during the construction of the new power plant. It is constructed in a high line. unit and a low fine, which constitute the spurs to the construction. The construction includes standard classification yard from which solid car loads of material will be distributed.
 The line will be close to storage bins of immense proportions in which sand, cement, gravel and other necessities will be stored to be used in the construc- ton. An interesting array of figures are included in a statement regarding the prospective activities of the railroad. It is said that 1,500 cars of cement will be hauled, 5000 cars of gravel, 4,000 cars of plumb-stone, 750 miscellaneous cars and 250 cars of coal. Machinery will require 100 cars, while a similar number will be used for groceries, ice feed and similar commodities.
 The company is provided the latest ond most modern mixing systems for its concrete. It is reported that 2,000 cubic yards of concrete will be required every 12 hours. During the peak of construction over 125 car loads of ma terials will be needed every day.
 The construction is by far the most extensive undertaken in this state by the Alabama Power company.

NEW AUDITORIUM
 NOT FOR PROFIT, HARRISON SAYS
Commission Meets Tues day To Set Scale Of
 Rental Prices
CITY WILL REMAIN
 ..:. IN FULL CONTROL
Newspapers May Give Election Returns In Building

Commissioner William l.. Harrison promised in statement Saturday that Birmingham's massive municipal audi torium, almost ready for dedication, will not be operated for profit.
 "We are going to try to make ex- penses, but that's all,' he said, in an nouncing that the entire commission will meet Tuesday to fix price scale A tentative scale, prepared at the com missions request by O. Gordon Brick son, acting manager, calls for 1O per cent of the gross receipts of all attrac- tions using the building, it is under stood. The chances are that this policy will be adopted.
 MT. Harrison said it was the com missions intention to fix the lowest scale possible, in order that all attrac- tions might be offered at low prices. He declined, in advance of final ac- tion by the commission, to discuss the tentative scale submitted by Erickson, but intimated that it is much lower than scales in effect in other cities who operate auditoriums.
 City To Remain In Charge.
 Discussing the charge that Erickson has arbitrarily fixed prices and as- stunned full control over the auditorium, Commissioner Harrison said:
 "The commission will always be in charge of the operation of the audi torium. Everything that has been done has been merely temporary, and is sub- ject to approval by the commission. We intend to operate this building in the interest of the general public. It belongs to the citizens of Birmingham. It will never become one-man affair"
 Commission members had before them Saturday a proposition made by The Birmingham Post to give free election returns in the auditorium on the eve ming of the national presidential cleo tion in November. .... >.
 Several officials suggested that oall three of the Birmingham newspapers should cooperate in the party" The Post had previously declared this plan would be agreeable.
 Others suggested that the city should put on its own election returns party and invited the three newspapers to CO., operate by furnishing the returns. However, 1t seemed highly improbable that anyone would get the use of the building free, as thes commission is re- ported as planning to adopt a policy that will call for a minimim rental for all events held in the building. They fear that a precedent that later would prove embarrassing would be .estab- lished by giving the newspapers the free use of the structure.
 Erickson, however, said he hoped that the three newspapers would get together and agree on a plan, and then submit it to the commission for con- sideration.

HOWARD COLLEGE
 SMASHES RECORDS
Enrolment Largest In History
 Of Institution

With registration at Howard college rapidly drawing to a close, the enroll. ment is said to be the largest in the history of the institution. Even with two fraternity houses, vacated by the Sigma Nus and Phi Kappa Nus, con. verted into dOrmitory space, the dormi. tories are still overcrOwded and many students are boarding in private homes Dean Burns said-
 In making an official estimate of the enrolment Saturday, Dean Burns said that over a hundred more have regis. tered than at the end of the first week last year. He also declared that the freshman class is the biggest in the his. tory of the college.
 With crowded classes in the new courses of Bible, chemical engineering and commerce, the class work is well under way" said Dean Burns, "and a remarkably fine spirit is being shown.'
 In the first regular chapel exercises held in the auditorium Friday morning President John c. Dawson said that he felt optimistic over the prospects of ! the new session.
 During the past week new students have been meeting old men on the campus and Friday evening, these in. trOductions reached a climax in the col. lege reception, staged at o'clock in the Psi Delta house and Renfroe hall
 President ,and Mrs. John c. Daw. son and the new members of the fac ulty formed the receiving line and met every student present.
 In addition to the extension courses already announced, Prof. William E. BohannOn, director of extension, de- clared that night courses in journalism will be offered downtown, at Baptist headquarters on Third avenue and Twentieth street. These classes will begin next week and will meet at z 80 on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Q
