THEERED by favorable developments V of recent months the disheartened

A NnEERED Dy IaVOraDIe ueVetOpmcnth
 of recent months the disheartened
 leather industry is now lifting its head in anticipation of recovery from the doldrums of five long bleak years. The specter of disaster, at first unrecog- nized, appeared during the war-and through no particular fault of the in dustry itself. Wartime demand stinu- lated leather production to the utmost and, being even then unsatisfied, en- couraged the development of substi- tutes. But the boot and shoe indus try, normally absorbing about 80 per cent of total leatRer output, has been ties. A craze for quickly fading, novelty styles in women's footwear that caused production costs to mount; re- bellion against high prices; the inclina- tion of men to make fewer shoes wear longer-these were few in the combi- nation of circumstances that led to trouble for shoe manufacturers.
 It was not difficult for the shoe pro- ducers quickly to curtail their opera tions. But not so with the leather tanning industry, with it's requirements of months to produce finished leather from raw hides. Consequently, when the crash came with floundering prices, leather tanners found themselves pre- pairing for consumption hides which WOoiu ActuiH Sncn hotHlhB put lOSSeS. And so disaster came.
 For long time now, however, con- ditions have been fighting themselves. Tanners stocks of finished sole leather have been reduced one-third in eight months and are now four million sides below the 1922 peak. At the current rate of tanners operations with con- tinuation of this trend in stocks, an ac- tual shortage of hides would result in few months. Then, too, stocks of cat tie hides are at a record low point

PAN-AMERICAN
 HAULING BRISK COmpany's Fleet Of Cars Are Ideally Equipped
 For Service

The Pan-American Coal company, dealers in high grade lump and furnace coals, and specializing in hauling, are doing a greatly, increased volume of business in Birmingham and this trade territory. The company is under the management of Samuel V. and Richard B. Shelburne, both men of wide and ripe experience in their particular busi- ness.
 The Pan-American Coal company is ideally located for its business needs at 1519 Avenue E, south. The company pays particular attention to hauling of coal in carload lots in addition to operating as wholesalers of coal.
 According to s. V. Shelburne the hauling activities of the company was most satisfactory, even throughout the summer months. With the opening of the coal season demands for services of the company have greatly increased The company is well equipped for proper functioning. It operates a big fleet of pneumatic tire trucks which can be sent into places without causing property damage. This fact alone has been a conspicuous contributor to the cOmpany's success.

JAP ARMY LACKING AERIAL SQUADRONS
Leaders Are Planning to Modern-
 iZe the Organization

Tokio. April 25.-The leaders of the ] Japanese army are planning to mod
 ernize the organization. Lieutenant
 General Kazushige Ugaki. minister of
 war, has apointed a commission with vice minister of war. Lieutenant-G Ger eral Ichisuke Tsuao, as chairman, to study the question of bringing the equipment of the. land fofes up to date. Its report will be sready by March of 1925. In connection with this work party of Japanese army officers has gone abroad to study modern organization in France, Great Britain and the United States.
 It is pointed out that generally the equipment of the Japanese army has changed little since the Russo-Japan- csc war. At the same time it is realiz- ed that the question Of money is one of the most difficult involved in the lem. Earthquake reconstruction is keeping the army appropriations to a low figure. The modernization pro- gram. in the beginning, must be paid for largely out of economics effected within the army.
 Japan.s military leaders consider their greatest deficiency to be in avia- tion. The army air forces now consist of six flying sauadrops. The high com mand would like to double this num- Der, although the problem of train ing enough ayiators is serious one. probably more serious than the short age of funds at present, for the Jap anese have not proved themselves good aSiators, and the high casualty rate among flying officers does not make the service attractive to young men seeking military career. How ever, the authorities are considering an aviation expansion program to spread over approximately five years.
 Chemical warfare is almost closed book to the Japanese army. Although Japan has on intention of nullifying the Washington submarine and pois- onous gas treaty. her army leaders plan extensive research into the em- ployment and defense against the latest chemical weapons.
 Japan is without tanks. to all prac- tical purposes. A few were brought back to Japan after the war for study purposes, but there is no branch in the Japanese army corresponding 10 the Tank corps of the American and European forces. Motor transport also is backward in the Japanese army. The use of armored cars also will re- ceive consideration from General i Tsuno's committee.
 Machine guns and automatic rifles 1 still are comparatively little employed |

l fields and necessity compelled her to ] develop the artificial nitrogen indus i try if she were 10 have enough explo- I sIves 10 keep up the fight. Counting all synthetic nitrates and ammonium sulphate from the coke industry, Ger
 n'aEy produced in 1913 nitrogenous materials with a nitrogen content Of slightly more than 100000 tons. By the end of the war the country's out put Of nitrogenous materials, mostly synthetic nitrates, contained over 500,- G00 tons of nitrogen. Tremendous plants were built and operated by steam power near coal fields. But most Of the precioust output went in to explosives while crops got one-haf their usual ration. In final analysis il was nitrogen starvation that brought Germany 10 her knees. The insuf- smaller crops and there was not enough food to go round.
 By the end Of the war the amount Of nitrogen manufactured in Europe and the United States about equaled the entire world production. includ- ing Chile's, before hostilities began. If the world now wanted only its pre- war supply of nitrates 1t might be satisfied from sources wholly outside Chile. But the nitrogen hunger has grown. Each year sees an increased demand. so that Chile is still the im- rortant factor. Since, in fact, it sup plies the worlds deficiency, Chile has the whip hand and the price Of the Chilean product dominates the whole industry.
 Tt costs comparatively little to dig up, wash out, and crystalize the se-
 iium nitrate from Chile's vast beds. 1T lowest cost of production ruled, the price might be only few dollars ton. But the cost ot production at the poorest mines really sets the starting point for the price, and then the Chilean government raises it greatly by putting on an export tax Of about SIP a ton. Manufacturing synthetic nitrate with electric power and eN- pensiva machinery is rather costly procedure. If Chile suddenly took the export tax off nitrates it might come close to wrecking the entire synthetic industry unless protective tariff were applied by the countries whose plants were imperiled."

Laurentic's Treasure Is
 Rapidly Being Salvaged

London, April 25.-There are now only 154 bars of gold worth s1.20O, 900 on the wreck of the Laurentic, which was sunk during the war, and the salvage ship Racer will shortly en- deavor to recover this, said Con- mander c. c. c. Damont in the course of lecture at the Institution Of Me chanical Engineers.
 Four hoxes of gold weighing 140 pounds each were recovered in such short time when the work started that it seemed as if operations would be finished in week. A fierce gale sprang up, however. and the wreck collapsed, making salvage work very difficult. Of the S,a11 bars which went down with the ship, S,057 have been recovered during operations extending over six summers at cost of two and onc-half per cent.

in Japan's armp, and one Of the chief duties of the party now in Europe will be the study of such weapons. In field artillery there is believed to be con siderable room for modernization.
 In all discussion Of the proposed army program Japanese officers in- sist on the non-ag aggressive intentions behind it. It is stated that Japan merely desires to bring her army to something like the standards held by the other great powers, who learned at first hand the bitter lessons of the great war.
