Old Women Faint-Pews
Of EX-Emp Roped off

Berlin, Jan. 10 CA. i. by MaiD--
Why Is the former imperial box in
the Dom kept roped off and not
opened for the use of the public?
Berlin papers are asking this
question very mistakenly. On New
Years Eve tho ex-emporers box in
the Dom, or Berlin cathedral, which
contains several hundred seats
formerly used by the IlohenZollern
court, was not thrown open in spite
of the fact that hundrcds~ of per
sons stood in the crowded cathedral
and many elderly women tainted
through fatigue while standing wait
ing for tie New Year to be ushered
in.
The imperial boxes In the state
theatres and operas have been
thrown open to the public and the
Berlin Morgen Post and other news
papers urge that church is the last
place in the world in which there
should he an attempt to perpetuate
class distinctions. The Dom clergy
are blamed for this reactionary at
titude and are charged with an at
tempt 10 nerpetuate the imperial
idea.

THE BIBLE AND
THE NEWSPAPER

IF the reading public pursued the
Bible for one year as regularly as
they do current events in newspapers
and magazines, the participants
would receive n benefit that would
surprise the hitherto most doubtful.
Is the opinion of Evangelist G. O.
Perkins. conductor of the Bible Lee
ture series on Sunday evenings at
Golden Cross hall.
This is not an argument that we
should read newspapers and maGa-
zines less" continues Mr.. Perkins,
but that we should read the Bible
more. The facts are. that the current
events of newspapers and magazines
and the recorded events of history,
are the landmarks Of Bible prop
hecy."
Next Sunday evening at 100 Mr..
Perkins Will give the second OF his
new series of Bible lectures as cor
roborated by history and current
events. His topic is concerning
"Rome-PaCan and Papal: Its In
fluence on Our Day and Generation"
Admission Is free.

large number OF men with hand ice
saws. The blocks of ice, are then
f.oated along a canal to the foot of
the run, where they are caught by an
endless chain and pulley up the run
way to a level slightly higher than
the packed ice in the house, and the
men in the house, assisted by gravity
are easily able to slide the ice into
place. AS the cakes go up the run
they encounter a planer where they
are automatically planned and the
snow ice removed.
The ice company owns three houses
in this city. two upon the bank of
the river above the Edwards Manu-
featuring Co, and one on the Bond
Prook road. All three are filled with
ice from the river. team being en-
ployed to fill the one en- Bond Brook.
This is the smallest of the three and
last year took but 1910 cakes, when
the others took $4,000 and $4,000
cakes.
The ice which is twelve inches at
the start, will increase in thickness
as cutting goes on. due to the fact
that the cold can get in through the
cuts which have been made in the
ice and the protecting blanket OF
snow has been removed. 1t was near
~ 90 inches thick last year but Will
not thicten up that way this year,
unless bad weather is encountered,
as the ice will be harvested much
faster than it was then.
The management OF the Augusta
Ice Company feels that there arc
many people in this city who would
like to see how the ice they use in the
summer is handled. and has issued an
invitation to all who so desire to visit
the ice field and see the various OPP
erations that take place in harvesting

THOROUGH COAL INQUIRY

Although the special government agents Investigating alleged misuse of coal deposits belonging to the government say that they are expecting amicable settlements of all in- fringements and apprehend no Teapot Dome scandal, yet the public is warranted in sup posing that, if there are any discoveries showing fraud and law infraction, there will them up It is hoped that there have been no irregularities calling for court inquiry and action, but if there have been such irregu- larities, the public welfare demands that they be brought to light, and such adjustments, reprisals and punishments achieved as will satisfy justice in the premises. It is not probable that the investigators can in ad- vance speak with assurance as to the results If they could do so, there would be no need for inquiry.
 If Alabmaa's s mineral deposits have escaped irregular and unauthorized exploitation. then Alabama is singularly fortunate among the states. There is only one way to find out the true situation, however, and that is by persistent inquiry into irregularities known to exist. The fact that there are evidences of superficial disregard of the public title in certain areas is indication that there may also be violations of graver nature. The people of Alabama want the inquiry to be thorough, so that, when the report is ill there may be no apprehension lest it has been composed of incomplete data.

sOUTH's CONDITION GOOD

Increase of industrial and commercial ac- tivity in all districts of the Federal Reserve System. reported from Washington, reflects a healthy condition prevalent during the open ing months of 1924, which many predicted would be slack year because of the un- settling effect of politics. Not only were sharp gains shown in the production of basic commodities, but the usual post-holiday slump that is expected at this season was narrower in scope, according to the reserve board, than it usually is.
 In the Sixth Reserve District, which em- braces Alabama, there was particularly notable gain in the volume of trade for the month of January, although there was no change in fundamental conditions. Industrial activity increased and most of the plants operated on full time. Savings deposits in creased, as compared with the same period of last year, retail sales showed gain in every city, lumber mills and cotton mills in creased their production, building activities continued at the brisk pace. and practically all divisions of industry and commerce had favorable news to report.
 It is gratifying that conditions are so good in the South, but it is doubly pleasing to learn that our prosperity is not restricted to any one section, but is general throughout the United States.
