WHAT + THE EARTH DRIED UP SUDDENLY

LONDON, Mar. 11.-Although pro- hibition and prohibitions were proba- bly, not in his thoughts, the essence of statement made by Sir Napier Shaw is that no human being will ever live to see the world go dry. Sir Napier is studying the problem of what would happen if the earth went suddenly dry The keynote of the matter as he put it, is water vapor.
 Not only does water vapor supply material for the formation of clouds, but it also absorbs the energy of the suns radiation and reduces the other wise burning sun rays to the mild lu- minesence of a wintry sunset.
 If there were no water vapor there would be no ice surrounding the polar regions and when there was any sun at all shining through the almost transparent atmosphere, a man with his back against rock would feel himself as much solarized as an Arab of the Sahara.
 The North Pole during the north ern summer might be the warmest spot on earth, distinction which it would pass on to the South Pole if the sun crosses to equator.
 In case the earth went dry there would be no towering clouds and no means of penetration of the atmos- phere beyond a very limited range, such as is indicated by a thunder cloud. Dust storms would be the only storms on earth. There would be no thunder and no lightning. Cyclones and tornadoes would disappear just as the oceans and rivers and lakes would do.

 ACQUIRE PLANT
Standard Gas Products Co. Now
 Birmingham Institution

The Standard Gas Products company, organized in Birmingham a short while ago, has, at a cost of $100,000, taken over the interest of P. H. Wilcox of At lanta and the concern becomes almost entirely a Birmingham financed plant. It was announced Friday that Mir. Will cox, who was president, has been sue ceeded by W. H. Girdler, also inter ested in similar plant in Louisville. R. H. Ingalls,, Birmingham. and Theo- dore Swann of Anniston will remain on the board of directors as heretofore. The plant produces oxycetelene gas used ex- tensively in a territory advantageously served from Birmingham.
 It was only recently announced that this company has been able to interest two of the largest railroads entering Birmingham in it's products and that contracts involving a large supply had been closed.
 MT. Girdler, the new president of the company, was in Louisville Friday. He is expected to return to Birmingham within few days. It was stated that no further changes in the personnel of the company is contemplated at this time. .

PLANT IS LEASED
 TO MEMPHIS MEN
Birmingham Cotton Oil Co. To
 Resume Operation

The Birmingham Cotton Oil com pany plant at East Birmingham which has been idle for some time, has been leased to Austin Boyd of Memphis by the local owners. A corporation will be formed to take over the lease which is effective Monday. The local owners include George A. Blinn, Bert Jacobs and associates.
 It is understood that the plant which was operated some time ago will be placed on its highest producing capac- ity and operated by its new lessees.
 The plant is owned by the same in- terests which controlled the Jefferson Fertilizer plant, also located in that territory. It was announced Friday afternoon that the fertilizer plant had been sold to eastern interest for $250,- 900. This was emphatically denied, it being stated that J. G. Whitfield, now of Tennessee sold the plant, to the Royster interests of North Carolina four years ago. the deal being engi- neered by Robert A. Brown of Birming- ham. The Royster interest, it is stated, have no idea of selling the plant.

FREMEN GARRY 1, SALARY FIGHT I 0 COMMISSION
Policemen Also Seeking
 General Increase-Pa- pers Visited

The fight for higher salaries for po- siicemen and firemen took definite form Friday when a committee of firemen formally petitioned for a general raise of S15 and a committee of policemen arranged for a conference with city commissioners Monday afternoon in be. half of their request for like boost. Committees of firemen and policemen visited the newspapers during the day and asked their cooperation in the fight for more money. These committees also made it plain that efforts to ob- tain an increase in the size of both de- partments would continue.
 The policemen and firemen, in their fight, have the staunch support of Commissioner of Public Safety W. B. Cloe and Chiefs J. l.. Aiken and Fred McDuff. They have the sympathy of the other commissioners, who are ready to raise their salaries if the city s finances permit. However, this now ap- pears extremely doubtful.
 The uniformed forces are expected to urge the commission to cut other ap- propriations to an amount that will en- able them to get their raises. Their leaders are incensed at the informa- tion that the series of city hall short ages may wreck their chances for more money. .-.,-, ..~
 Employees in various other city de- partments have been making ready to ask for increased salaries. When the commission meets to prepare the new budget, it appears that requests from every corner of the administration build ing will be before it.
 "All we can promise now is to do the best we can," President McLendon said. Personally, realize that our po- licemen, firemen and sanitary inspectors are underpaid. There are other en- ployes who undoubtedly deserve in creases. The situation will be thor oughly considered by the commission, but it cannot be said that the outlook is rosy"
 Audit Nears Completion
 Seventy per cent of the accounts in the public improvement department have been audited by F. Hopkinson Smith and his staff of accountants. Checking up of the remaining accounts has been slowed down by the failure of taxpay CTS to reply promptly to queries sent them, requesting their verification or repudiation of assessments charged on the books.
 Belief that the audit will be finished '-in a very short time" was expressed by Commission President D. E. Me Lendon after a conference with MT. Smith.
 Smiths report tC. -she city commission will have an important bearing on the budget for the coming fiscal year, which is to be compiled next month. A ten tative budget now is being drawn by the comptroller's office, but McLendon said it had not been shown to him.
 It is certainty that the budget this year will anticipate considerably more revenue than last year, as the tax as- sessors have increased property values in the city by approximately $9,000, 900.

SEARCH RENEWED FOR TWOCONVICTS|
 STILL AT LARGE
Officers Believe Negroes Will Try Getaway
 Tonight

Officers Friday night renewed the search for Julius Smith and Tom Hous- ton, negro convicts still at large fol lowing the escape of five prisoners who tunneled their way 20 feet to freedom through the roof of the, Flat Creek mines at Wegra Thursday. Deputies believe that the negroes are still in the vicinity of Wegra, but that they re- mained under cover during the day Fri day and will try to leave the neighbor- hood during the hours of darkness.
 Three of the prisoners had been re- captured and were back at work at the mines Friday.
 Although cleverness featured the es- cape, it did not follow the convicts in their efforts to get out of the county. Two of them, Fred Harris and Willie McKerrell, of Greene county, were caught almost on the company property before it became dark enough to use flashlights. Mathew Williams was caught Friday morning.
 Telegrams have been sent to police in Montgomery and Morgan counties, the homes of Smith and Tom Houston, who Friday night were still at large. It was believed by Chief Deputy Henry Hill that the two negroes would imme- diately leave this section. However, preparations for their apprehension within a few miles of the mine were on foot early Friday night. It was the belief of deputies that Smith and Houston would be caught before Sat urday noon.

MIDWEST CITIES
 FAVOR UNDERPASS
Commissioner Dickson Returns
 From Trip To North

"My trip to Detroit and Chicago confirmed the city commissions con tention that underpasses will work bet ter here than viaducts.'
 This was the statement of Commls- sioner W. E. Dickson Friday on his return from a visit to these cities, where he studied underpass projects. He also announced that nationally known expert would check over the city's underpass plans before they are formally adopted by the city commis- sion.
 "Underpasses have been erected in Chicago and Detroit under agreement with the railroads" Dickson said. If the railroads there accept them, cant see why the railroads here refuse them. Where streets are level, the tendency everywhere is towards underpasses in- stead of viaducts.'
 The city in few days will be ready to pass ordinances requiring the railroads to begin work on underpasses at Eighteenth and Twentieth streets.
