SHELBY RESENTS
 SELFISH MOTIVE
Replies To Charges Made By Service Commission
 Members

John w. Sibley Friday made formal reply to a statement by members of the public service commission in which he denies that selfishness prompted his op' position to the new freight rates on brick. He writes:
 "To the Editor of Age-Herald:
 q would not trespass upon your kindness or the patience of the public in a further discussion of the freight rates on brick, but the unwarranted and unworthy attack upon me person ally by the statement issued by Mir Morgan and Mir. Lee of the public serv- ice commission demands an answer They seek to becloud the real issue by imputing my motives. Perhaps ones selfishness can be best judged by the attitude of his fellow-craftsmen and without any spirit of egotism, 1 beg to say that the Southern Brick Manufac' turers' association, representing the en- tire southeast, voluntarily chose me as their chairman.
 ''The record in a case is the only criterion, and that of the recent hearing before the Alabama public service com. mission shows that in my t, 5tlmony was speaking in behalf of the plants at Graves Mines, Lovick, Alton, Chil dersburg, Sylacauga, Ragland, Coaldale and Sibleyville.
 As matter of fact, in the new grouping arrangement fixed by the Ala bama public service commission, two plants at Childersburg and Sylacauga of my chief competitor are placed at a decided disadvantage as regards the plant at Sibleyville, and if my motive were selfish I would not be seeking to have them kept on the same rate of freight as Sibleyville, which has been the case ever since they were built. "The commission has ruled that the coal mine at Bessemer (and vicinity) must pay the same rate to Birming- ham as the coal mine at Nyota (near Sibleyville) but not so for brick. Why make fish of one and fowl of another! Sauce for the goose ought also go with the gander.' v
 'So far as. the hollow tile plants are concerned, they deliver all their prod uct in Birmingham by truck to the job cheaper than the rail and truck haul that would be necessary if they shipped by rail. Besides they are not real com- petitOr of mine, as common brick IS a small by-product at our plant, and is sold almost exclusively to dealers for the retail trade for facing purposes, and to the large industrial concerns for purposes that hollow tile could not be substituted for.
 '"The real issue in this case is not Sibleys motives, however, but shall the consuming public in the Birmingham district be penalized an enormous amount by the disruption of uniform rate structure that has been in vogue for over a quarter of century to the satisfaction of consumer, carrier and manufacturer? Messrs. Morgan and Lee say the way is open for a rehear- ing. Their sincerity will be evidenced by their attitude on the petition now being filed by the Birmingham Traffic association for that purpose. So far as the charge of personal selfishness is concerned, I am quite willing to leave the record of my 35 years sojourn in Birmingham to the judgment of my fellow-tOwnsmen.
 "Thanking you for the use of your valuable space,
 Yours truly,
 JOHN w. SHELBY"

The WeU-Dressed Mun
 By Beaundsh CORRECT CLOTHES TO MEET
"Pull-Overs" For ROughing It

Since the lowly sweater became the naughty pull over," it has had to live up to its pretensions, like the mush- room American millionaire to his Eng fish valet, French chef and Persian lounging robe. Most latter-day sweat CTS have been improved with such ingenuity of refinement, that they hard ly resemble sweaters at all. Rather they are spruce knitted jackets which fit as trimly as a coat and are as colOrful as a cravat.
 The sweater used to be a luxury in a mans wardrobe, reserved for the country or the course. Today, it is a necessary the year round, whether you be sportsman, try-to-be-spOrtman or the sort of sportsman who cannot tell a bunker from a Bunker Hill monument. Indeed, it is not uncommon for The well-dressed man to own alf-a-dozen sweaters-the Englishman terms them Jumpers to match differently color ed knickers and stockings. When a sweater is sleeveless, it is usually called a knitted waistcoat.
 Not all of us, however, fancy the llght-woven type of garment with the round, V-neck or square front opening.

Meat For Variety And
 Economy
Meat For Variety And Economy

Most housewives are accustomed to thinking of meat in terms of chops, steaks, roasts, ham or bacon and are not familiar with all the edible DOT tions of beef, pork or mutton, such as the heart, liver, kidney, tripe, tongue, sweetbreads and tail. These extra DOT tions are rich in vitamines and are very nutritious and inexpensive.
 The heart makes very savOry dish. It has high content of protein and contains vitamines A and B.
 Liver contains higher percentage of protein than any other meat prod uct, and is highly concentrated food. It is highly favored and contains vita mines A, B and c. Calf's liver is considered a delicacy, but beef, lamb and pork livers, although much less ex- pensive, are equally nutritious.
 Brains are rapidly coming into favor as savory meat dish. They are tender, delicate and rich in protein.
 The kidney is high in protein con- tent.
 Tripe, which is the stomach lining of the beef animal, has a high per

 With sweater 'roughing it" always wear knickers. Trousers look out of place. Sweaters, like coats, should not be hung upon hook, but draped over wooden or metal form or smoothed out and laid flat in a bureau drawer. The care given to sweater will go far to preserve its shape and prolong its life.

Profit From Chickens.

Starting with Is hens and 3
roosters twelve-year-old Rhode
Island poultryman has developed
profitable business. He began
in the spring of 1922 by joining
the poultry club which the agri-
cultural extension worker was or
ganizing in his community. That
year he Matched and fed 113 broil-
ers so that they were ready to sell
while the market price was high.
He kept Is of the best pullets as
foundation flock for the next
season. The boy found his work
so interesting that he studied
more about poultry at the club
members state camp and short
course in 1923. Here he learned
to caponize and this season devel-
oped a good market for his cap
ons. An important part of his
club work is the keeping of re-
cords of all expenditures and re-
ceipts. Recently he finished his
1923 accounts and finds that he
paid out $40 and received 1919,
leaving him S240 for his years
work.
