 And the reason why Mir. llt Milk Consumer is responsible for his own troubles is because he buys for i5 cents a quart of milk and gets for nothing an eight or nine cent bottle which he falls to return. Thus in many cases the mllkman sells the quart of milk for six cents and throws in . nine cent bottle.

 And this is a serious situation. Ask ]. J. Howard of IA Dwight street. He knows. Mir. Howard Is the milk bottle detective and through his ex- pert locating of missing bottles New Britain milk dealers are saved thou sands of dollars a year. And even at that many bottles are never found and thus the public pays for them in its milk.
 One milk dealer who delivers be- tween 10000 and 25,000 quarts of milk each day, requiring something like 10000 bottles stated yesterday that bottle is good Tor 14 trips on an average before it disappears. It takes three bottles all the time for each individual customer, he said, one being the full bottle delivered, one being the empty one returned and the other going through the plant, undergoing cleaning, sterilization and finally filling for the next mornings delivery. This requires heavy in- vestment in bottles. Out of the sup ply of bottles between Is and 20 are broken to every 5000 handled, an ex- tremely small percentage compared to those which never return.
 Just what percentage of bottles are lost has never been figured and no local dealer seems to know. One dealer said, "The only thing l can tell Is that the exchange is bringing back thousand or more week and every once in while I buy another carload. As rule carload lasts only month"
 As protection against this condi- ton at least to certain extent 22 ! New Britain milk dealers got to- gether about a year ago and joined | the milk bottle exchange, operated by Mir. Howard.

GEORGIA, PEACHES
 ARE PAID TRIBUTE
Railway President Says Crop
 Enjoyed By All Classes

A tribute to the Georgia peach is paid by l.. A., Downs, president of the Central of Georgia railway, in state ment that sets forth its fine qualities as an ideal dish delightful, nourishing and health giving.
 Mir. Downs states that approximately 2,000 cars have been moved by the Central to date and that about 1000 additional cars, making total of B. 0O0,, will probably be handled during the season. He says that Georgia has not had a crop failure in 26 years-a record not equaled by any other peach growing territory. The peach industry, he declares, is an illustration of the re- suits of intelligent cooperation between grower and carrier. The grower has studied scientific culture and has de- vel0ped fine product; the railroads have developed proper refrigeration, am- pie car supply and quick schedule to distant markets. The Georgia Peach Growers exchange is now providing modern methods of distribution. In consequence, the whole country is able to enjoy the Georgia peach, which brings millions of dollars to the state. The railway president points out that his road handles peaches for but a short distance and that the interest of the Central is not a selfish one but, that the road does participate in the pros perity that comes to the people of this territory.

WOMEN TO FINISH
 PLANS FOR DRIVE
Solicitation For Monte vallo Opens Officially
 July 9

Plans for opening the drive to. help raise million dollar extension fund for Alabama college at Montevallo will be finished by the women of Birming- ham on Thursday at 1 o'clock at the Tutwiler hotel.
 Mrs. D. E. Bucks, chairman of the women's division, will preside at the meeting assisted by Mrs. Frank B. SpainN who has been named vice chair man and will turn her talents to the organization oe the teams for collect ing funds.
 While the drive will be opened of- ficially on July 9, the women's division will open theirs on Thursday, July 3, with the luncheon when all of the teams are urged to be present and get ready for actual work. Telephone Mon tevallo, headquarters, NJ. 470O0, for re- servationS.
 The canvassing will not be done by the house to house canvass which was popular during the war, but by per sOnal solicitation, each woman sub hitting a list of names of her friends, to be checked against each other. The names submitted by the members of IHC Wll DC Ou JuC team list, except in cases where there are duplicates when the name will be scratched from the list.
 Through these lists the women's di- vision expects to get their ten-dollar club of a thousand members, each member subscribing $50, payable in ten-dollar installments, one a year for five years.
 'Of course, the members of the ten dollar club need not limit their dOna- tion to ten dollars," said Miss Lydia Eustis, executive secretary of the drive in Birmingham and Jefferson county. In the event that they can not make donation of $10 year they will be welcomed into the club on a smaller donation. The effort will be to make the thousand memberships average ten dollars each at least.
 We would like to have every wom- an in the city and county active in the drivefor we feel this is an effort for women by women and that the least women can do is to give their full approval and cooperation. It will mean opportunities for their daughters they did not have. What mother is not proud to cooperate in any movement that will mean better educational and social opportunities for her daughter ?''

Friends of O. l.. Prince and F. R. Farmer were wondering Tuesday how the two men happened to be walking on the streets of Birmingham despite an announcement that they had been sentenced to 50 days in the Jefferson county jail.
 Charged with contempt of court through refusing to obey a federal in- junction, it had been announced that they were given 60-day terms in jail. Some acquaintances went so far as to wonder whether they should hand the two over to authorities to have the or der enforced.
 But when questioned it became known that the announcement was premature, and that these two men were not sen tenced.
