GREATER THINGS
SEEN IN LATEST
NDUSTRIALLNK
Pratt Consolidated Mer.
ger With By-Products
Co. Significant

Merger of the Pratt Consolidated
Coal company and the Globe Coal COM
pany, the latter company subsidiary
of the former, with the Alabama BY
Products Corporation and its subsidi-
aries--the Imperial Coal and Coke
company, Majestic Coal company, Biz
mingh,m Coke and By-Products COM
pany and Industrial Gas corporation,
announced Saturday, was the outstand-
ing development of the week in the
birmingham district.
The merger was the second recent
major transaction between corpora
tions operating in the Birmingham dis
trict, the other being the sale of the
Alabama company to the Sloss-Sheffleld
Steel and Iron company. These changes
simply mean that the foundation has
been laid for greater development work
with these great properties, all of
which will rebound to the further
growth and prosperity of the Birming-
ham district.
Remarkable activity in Birmingham
real estate, coupled with the immense
building program which is shattering
previous records here developments of the
past few weeks which indicate greater
production among industrial plants of
this district, are causing a wave of
optimism in Birmingham that is bound
to gain in momentum and inspire
greter faith in Birmingham's future. AL
ready the question is commonly asked
rs to just what will be Birmingham's
ultimate growth in the next ten years.
Need OF More Hotels
An encouraging barometer of the
confidence of capital in the soundness
of hotel investments. Undoubtedly an
era of demand for accommodations by
an army of transients and new Corners
here which will require greatly in
creased accommodations at hosterlries,
has manifested itself. Hotel interests it
seems are going to be sure that they
are prepared to care for this additional
patronage when that time comes. That
a much heavier patronage of lrosterlries
exists in Birmingham today is proved
in the building of the new Red Mont,
the decision to add history annex
TO the Tutwiler hotel, and the sale of
the old Florence hotel for over quar-
ter of a million dollars.
Impressive Exhibits
Persons who visited the Maunfactur-
ers and Housewives exhibit the past
week at the Auditorium were greatly
impressed. 1t is pity that every
visitor to Birmingham as well as every
citizen of this district could not have
availed themselves of the opportunity
TO see the wide variety of products on
display there. The trip was worth it
There was no 100 per cent representa-
tion of what is being produced. But
there was plenty of entertainment as
well as instruction to be had at the
Auditorium. The exhibits at the Audi
forum were sufficient to emphasize the
opportunity Birmingham has with bet
ter cooperation to make these annual
exhibitions more productive of good to
the community.

Ethyl fluid is colored deep wine

It is natural to recognize the bene-
ficence of happiness. We welcome II
and look upon it as humanity's friend
And it is.
1t is not natural to regard unhap-
piness in the same light. We are
prone to resent it, to regret it, to
brood over it and feel that it has no
rightful place in life. 1t is an inter
loper. And yet-no one escapes it.
Sorrow and sufferings come to all
At one time or another. In one way
or another.
Disappointment, disaster, disease
and death are the avenues through
which they reach our hearts.
In a world where hopes and ambi-
tions run high, where conditions con-
flict, where health and strength often
seem unequal to the demands upon
them, where ties of blood and spirit
are deep and strong, these avenues
are always open.
Each moment, somewhere, sorrow
spreads it's shadoww.
Each moment someone, somewhere
suffers.
It must be, then, that sorrow and

suffering have their place in the
Great Scheme of Things. That the
Great Heart which throbs with ten
deness and love for all humanity
must have planned purpose for
every pang of pain.
1t may not be given us to see that
purpose during the poigancy of that
moment when our eyes are all but
blind with tears. But it is there.
Later, when the mists of sadness
have lifted and the golden gladness Of
life returns it may reveal itself.
The cross we bear is that which
lifts us up.
Beads of blood upon the thorn
pressed brow of care today become
ruby-set diadem, browning a royal
victor, tomorrow.
Sorrow and suffering are on,
friends. They teach US truths un-
broken joy could never teach. They
bring us blessings happiness alone
could never bring.
1t has been said, and truly, I be-
lieve that = "Only the soul that
knows the mighty grief can know the
mighty rapture. Great sorrows come
to stretch out spaces in our hearts fci

Resolutions urging a modification
Of the Volstead act, permitting the
manufacture and sale of beer with an
alcoholic content not to exceed 2.75
per cent, probably will be adopted
by the Maryland State and District of
Columbia Federation of Labor, whose
twentieth annual convention opened
at Hagerstown last Monday.
A resolution indorsing the Farmed-
Labor party is considerably less GER
tain of success. This is complicated
by another resolution which will ask
Endorsement by the convention of the
candidacy of William Gibbs McAdoo
for the Presidency. A hot fight is
looked for when these resolutions
are introduced.
The convention also will be urged
to use its influence to bring about the
repeal Of bill passed by the Legis-
lature which appropriated $4,000 to
rebuild the foundry at the Maryland
State Penitentiary.
The bill, delegates say, simply
widens the opportunity for "vicious
contracts which exploit convict Ia
bor."
Palmer Tenant, member of the
House of Delegates, was allowed the
floor to speak in his own defense and
that of other delegates from Wash
ington county in answer to censure
in the Legislative report caused by
his having opposed the bill limiting
working hours for women.
Mr.. Tenant said he and his COL
leagues had canvassed opinion in
Washington county, had found that
women workers opposed the measure
and had voted as they believed their
constituents wished them to vote.
A resolution also was introduced
recommending the adoption of the
Congressional bill which will increase
pay to postal employees.

TIGERS TO HOLD BIG SCRIMMACE Boozer Pitts Has Squad Down At Hard
 Work

AUBURN, Ala, Sept. i2.--(Special.) Busily engaged getting ready for the first scrimmage clash of the season, which has been called for Saturday aft ernoon, the Auburn Tiger candidates hustled to keep pace with the coaches orders in the daily workouts.
 Wednesday and Thursday marked the beginning of the rough work. With Crane, Green and Moulton getting off their long distance toe offerings to the backs at the other end of the field, the Iinemen, some fat and some slim, were trying to wade through the runners in- terferers and halt the balls returns. To begin with the usual awkward plunges of the green would-be tacklers furnished amtst dent to the several hum dred students who thronged the side lines to watch the days activities but before the close Thursday, noticeable improvement was evident in the tackler ranks.
 Immediately preceding the rough phase of the days program the whole filings at the .tackling dummy, which noon hereafter.
 During the last haII n1ur, three squads went through with brisk for nation drill. One squad composed of Captain Fats. Lawrence, center; John son and McFadden, guards; .Huckabe and English, tackles; Moulton and Market, ends; Crane, guard i; Harrison and Hagood, halves, and Turner, full, while on another quarter of the field was a squad whose personnel consisted of Robinson, center; Self and Brice, guards; Sitz and Harkins, tackles i; Pruitt and Ollinger, ends. Ollinger being replaced by Spinks, l.. Peterson, quarter; Williams and Salter, halves, and Green, fullback. A third squad consisting of Lutz, center; Reeder and Campbell, guards; Long and D. jpinks, tackles; Trammell and Baskin, ends; Hunnycutt, quarter; Address and Mims, halves, and Hoffman, fullback.

 Jones Erratic
 Bobby Jones was cratic, having had only six and one hours sleep as . re- suit of attending the Wills-Firpo fight This, he was cratic for Bobby. His brilliance was spotty, but his partner, rather than he, is generally charged charged with their defeat. They had a lead of three holes after the morning rund of IS. It was the greatest ad- vantage any of the Americans had when the players went to lunch.
 At the ninth hole in the afternoon round the lead of Jones and Fownss had vanished. The successful playing of stymie by Michael Scott, who jumped his ball into the hole over the Americans ball after Jones had laid the stymie, was one factor, but in the main the cause was the Briton's steadi- while their opponents took 40. Jones ness. They went to the turn in par 37 doing something excellent now and then but being cratic in spots. The Britons, who like all their fellow countrymen, had declined invitations to the fight, stuck to their guns. After the Ameri- cans had O one hole advantage the bfltOnS squhfeu tne matCn dL IAe HI teenth when Jones just missed % foot putt and Robert Scott sank IF footer.
 Jones played remarkable explosion shot out of trap dead to the pin at the sixteenth, only to have Fownes miss a putt of less than a yard and give the Britons a half. At the seventeenth Fownes topped his drive, but Bobby saved the hole by an excellent iron out of the rough, chip dead to the hole. After Fownes had played the third shot they came to the home green square with Bobby making the 14S yard toe shot for his side. He was just on the green but Robert Scott was well up to the cup. Fownes made a nice approach putt, but Michael Scott's was better and the match ended, with Bobby fa9ed to sink his putt for three and Robert Scott got three.

The WeU- Dressed Man
WING AND BOW.
onLrGAT1oN occAazON


 c OMEBODY has observed that style D is from the chin up. There is lit
 tie underneath and none below the waist. Certain 1t is that dressing a mans neck is an all-important attribute of smart appearance. If you don't be. heve 1t, just remove your collar and cravet and look in the glass. The re- flection that gazes back is hardly a prepossessing one, no matter how classic or Napoleonic your features may be. Few men take the time and trouble to and character>of the wearer's face. Yet, the mere change from one shape to another may, almost magically, trans form one's appearance and mark the difference between what's becoming and what's not.
 During the last two years the wing collar and bow-knot tie have regained their oldtime place in the ward ,obe of The We'll Dressed Man. A little more formal than the turn-down collar and four-in.hand scarf, the wing and bow arc not intended for everyday wear, but rather for an agreeable change off from the more conventional style. They look best on the high, lean face, conveying the impression of broadening it. Contrariwfse, the round, full face needs the longer lines that the four in-hand scarf gives.
 The two smart collars sketched are of the same general type, but differ in the shape of the wings. The top one | is widely spaced in front and has bold
