 By Blast

NILES, Ohio, Oct. 29-Explosion of a bomb early otday wrecked the front of the home of Mayor H. l.. Kistler. Although the mayor and his family were sleeping upstairs they escaped injury.

 The supporters of John w. Davis do not hes- tate to offer the above expression as the measure %>f the man. What other candidate has given voice tC similar deathless utterance during this cam paign?
 It is this leader whose honorable and legiti mate aspirations the loyal Democrats of Alabama are asked to support with their contributions
 Let it not be said that persons in Alabama gave more freely to the Republican campaign fund than Alabama Democracy contributed to Democratic success.
 Any person living in Alabama who votes the Republican ticket strikes blow at the Alabama home and that principle of white supremacy for which the South has ever valiantly fought, and on which the well-being and endurable existence of the Southland depend.
 Democracy has an excellent opportunity to win this election and to place it's chosen leader in the White House. Shall the loyal Democrats of Ala bama permit it to be said that they chose to pay the Republican tariff tribute rather than contrib ute some amount, great or small, to elect their chosen candidate and to put in force those Demo- cratic principles of government to which they have always subscribed?
 The answer to that is to be found in the re- sponse the people make to the partys appeal for financial support, -.

 These tests have resulted in some cases in uncanny manifestations. For example on July 8, at about. 2 o'clock in the afternoon a frightful thunder storm with almost continuous lightning lay to the south of Phillips field over Chesapeake bay. At 2 80 we attacked small corner of this storm with a quantity of negatively charged sand less than ten pounds-and coincident with its application there was no more lightning and no more thunder. There followed a slow, gentle rain of about -four hours duration. No claim is, of course, made that the rain was caused by us, because it would have rained anyhow, but the rain would have been attended by constant thunder and light ming and the sudden bursts of down. pour so familiar to us.

WASHINGTON, Och 20.-Exten- sive experiment in the destruction of fogs by the use of electrified sand are to be carried out under government su- pervision at Boiling Field. Army air planes equipped with the device patented by Dr. l.. Francis Warren of Harvard university, have been detailed exclusive ly to that work and daily flights are to be made during the next six weeks to de- termine both peace and war value in connection with aviation.
 The two ayiators who conducted the attack today obtained a fair ''bag' despite the extreme height of the clouds over the field. A group of officers and civilians. from the ground could follow without difficulty the cutting off of a cape or penisula of cloud and its sub sequent distintegration. Larger masses were criss-crossed with lanes through which the suns rays shone to accle- rate evaporation.
 A Mere Continuation
 Dr. Warren termed the work at Bol- ling Field as a mere continuation of the invariably successful experiments of the past three years"
 "We have had nothing happen in the past three years,' he said, "to make us change our minds. We base our work on the assumption that visible forms of moisture in the air, like mists, fog and clouds, were a form of colloidal suspension in gases and that they should be governed by the same general laws that prevail in colioidal action in liquids and solids.
 "We will fill the sand tanks on the planes with i20 mesh silici sand. The

FRISCO RAILWAY TERMINAL PLANT TO COST MILLION Ten Story Office Build ing Is Announced At Cost Of $5OO,OO0 LOCAL MEN BEHIND OFFICE STRUCTURE Many Additional Projects
 For District Said
 Brewing

Out of the maze of rumors which have spurred Southside property to the most frenzied real estate period in Birming- hams history, there developed Wednesday two projects in- volving $1,50O,000.
 The more important of these came in the report that the Frisco railroad is ready to launch an extensive program for the development of ter minal and warehouse facilities on it's property on Avenue A, between Fourteenth and Eigh- teenth streets. The second, and to a great extent respon- sible for the realty Doom" was the official announcement of a ten-story building to be constructed by local capital ists on the southeast corner of Avenue c and T W e n ii e t h street. This structure will cost $500, ,00O, it is estimated. } Reports of these building programs are declared to be the first of any now in the embryonic state which will bring elose-in southside property near a level with other sections immediately sur rounding the business center. "A leak in the pragress ot plans for tho office building two weeks ago caused one oe the widest realty markets in Birming- hams history In the period millions of dollars in southside property changed hands.
 Frisco railroad officials inspected the carriers property Wednesday and, it is said, definitely decided upon the con- struction program. Details of the plan were not learned but it is understood to be one of considerable proportions and with the improvements of a modern terminal system, it will call for an outlay of approximately $1,0OO,O0O.
 Local Men Interested
 The new Avenue c project is being promoted by a corporatiO headed by J. Frank Rushtou, who has associated with him, Crawford Johnson, II. A. Drennen, Dr. b. NJ. Prince and others. While some real estate men are skep- tical as to the feasibility of an office building on the southside when the grade crossing situation is still un-

BISHOP CANDLER

 AS MEET OPENS
Presiding Elders Report Progress Of MethOdists
 In North Alabama

TALLADEGA, Ala, Oct. D. Especial. )-With the gavil in the hand of Bishop Warren A. Candler, senior bishop of the Southern Methodist church, the Fifty-fifth annual session of the North Alabama conference be- gan its formal proceedings Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. The beautiful and spacious auditorium of the recent ly erected First Methodist church was filled to overfl0wing with ministers and laymen gathered from all parts of north Alabama. Since Tuesday morning ev- cry train has brought in scores and hundreds of churchmen until there are close to 800 delegates in attendance.
 The first act of the conference was to observe the sacrament of the Lord's s supper. This was impressively adminis- tered by Bishop Candler, assisted by Rev. Henry Steel, Rev. Archibald and Rev. Dobbs. Following the communion the bishop delivered the opening ad- dress. This was deeply devotional in spirit and sparkledy with the wit and wisdom for which the famous Georgian is famous.
 Faith Is Reaffirmed
 The gist of this address was a re- affirmation of the church's faith in the reality of the supernatural, the validity of the atonement, the need and value of a creed, and the import ance of a reasonable faith in the second coming of Christ. In the course of his remarks the bishop took rap at eyOlu- tiOn andN characterized modernism ill religion as the product of ''palefaced, bleached academic centers."
 In defense of creeds, he urged the necessity of having convictions honest ly held and lived up to. He had little respect, he stated, for the man who had "his mouth in the church's crib eating it's grain and with his hind foot was kicking the church and all it stood tor"
 Following the roll call came the reg ular routine of organization. Rev. w. E. Morris was elected secretary, and Rev. Clare Purcell, U. s. Pitts and 0. K, Lamb were named assistants.
 Hospital Report Optimistic
 A report on hospitals was read, giv- ing the facts concerning the progress made in the new program of hospitaliza- tion. This revealed that property and gifts to the amount of two million dol lars had come to the church since the inauguration little over two years ago of this movement.
 Reports from the presiding elders concerning the progress of the work in their respective districts showed encOur- aging conditions throughout the con ference. The outstanding item of the reports was the church building pro gram. In every district new churches are going up. In the city of Birming- ham this is especially true, seven new churches, are completed or are under construction there. In addition to this, thousands of new members have been

 The waifs, shoeless and clothed in cotton garments, suited to tropical eli mates, could tell nothing of themselves except their names-Tom and Ida Kelps.
 Officials of the Panama Pacific Steamship company, owners of the Man churia, said an investigation had re- vealed that the pair had been brought aboard at the Pedro Miguel lock in the Canal by a man wearing the uniform of the United States army, who left his charges with the matron.
