CHAMBER PUSHES
 HOTEL PROJECT
$20O,OOO HOstelry May Be Erected On Unit
 Plan
(Bessemer Bureau)

BESSEMER, Ala, June 1.-Follow- ing the action of the Kiwanis club Wedl esday in regard to the proposal to erect a new hotel at Bessemer, the Chamber of Commerce will get actively behind the movement and push it to a rapid conclusion, according to in dication Sunday. The chamber and the Rotary club have indorsed the proposal and the latter part of this week con ference of business men will be called to invite an expert from the Hocken- berry system to come here and outline plans.
 The Hockenberry system, promoters, made survey of the city at the re- quest of the chamber, and recommended the erection of S200.000 hotel. Their representa- tive visited many business men who agreel to take stock in such an enterprise should the plan be ap- proved by the luncheon clubs and rep resentative citizens. In a quiet way the proposal has been widely discussed and, it is believed, that the movement has reached the stage where. with con- certed effort, a creditable hotel can be built
 Unit Plan-The survey carried out showed that sufficient tourists and com mercial travellers visit Bessemer to support a much larger hotel, and it is the suggestion of the experts that the structure be erected on the unit plan, to permit additions later. One feature of the plan that is proving attractive is to enlist the cooperate of business men in requesting sales men who visit them to patronize the hotel. Many other effective suggestions are contained in the survey, and will be discussed at the conference to be called in a few days.

CENTURY PLANT IS
 USED TO MAKE ICE
Only Process Of Kind In World
 Found In Durango

(COpyright. 1924, in U. S. and Canada,
 by North American Newspaper Al.
 lianee.)
 A spell of hot weather this week in Mexico has brought about the opening of the Durango City icehouse-the only icehouse of its kind in the world For this ice supply, large enough to be commercial factor in the ice market of a region of 3000O persons, is made DOS sible by the use of the maguey, or century plant.
 Durango City was founded in 1563 and 1t IS believed that the strange meth cd of ice-making has been in continuous use since that time-and nowhere else is it known. After the pulque has been taken from the century plant, which is usually when it is about eight years. the leaves, instead of being destroyed as elsewhere in Mexico, are spread out in the plaza, in the public gardens. and other open spaces, with the con cave sides of the huge leaves uppermost. The ground Is first covered with straw. Then about two quarts of water are poured into each leaf. While freezing is unknown in the city, under any other natural conditions. the water freezes in the maguey leaves. In the morning, hundreds of chunks of ice are gathered and put irf adobe ice houses, each about 20 feet deep and 20 feet square. The supply usually lasts until the middle of July or the first of August.
 Durango City is about 5000 feet above sen level At this altitude there is rapid cooling, after evapora- tion, to which the water is exposed by the broad, shallow surface of the leaves. This is believed to he the scien- tific explanation of the odd ice plant. There is a legend that the method was discovered in the seventeenth cen tury by Father Jose Lopez, an aged priest, who was also a scientist.
