ROGERS FAMILY
 HOLD REUNION
Seven Generations Repre- scented At Gathering
 At Morris

MORRIS, Ala, August 31.-(Spe- ccial. )-The Rogers family reunion held today at the old Rogers homestead near Morris was probably the largest of its kind ever held in the northern part of Jefferson county. Several generations of the Rogers family were in attend- ance and it was determined that in the future such event would occur annu- ally.
 About 100 years ago James c. Rog- CTS immigrated from South Carolina and settled near the mouth of Turkey creek in the vicinity of Morris. In ad- dition to becoming the head of a" large family, he became a landlord of great prominence and one of the best of Ala bama's citizens. James G. Rogers was the grandfather of T. Snow Rogers, Er- nest Rogers, James J. Rogers and Mrs. Lavert Little, who are now among the best citizens of Morris.
 The members of the Rogers family now number several hundred and it is the purpose of the older members of the family to cultivate the spirit of unity and to perpetuate the family name as one of the most honorable. Reli- giously the family is of the Baptist they cling to the doc Urine of Jefferson. Besides the family connections, quite number of friends were present at the reunion. A dinner was served and in many respects the occasion was a happy one.

ANGRY MOB TURNS AGAINST OFFICER
Crowd Flops After Seek ing Arrest Of
 Man

A mob, which had been previously calling for the arrest of J. l.. Glover, 213 Fifty-sixth street, south, for using profanity in front of the women who were passing along Twentieth street between Third and Fourth avenues at 8 80 o'clock Saturday night, quickly turned against Officer W. R. Beatty when he was forced to strike the man in the face to ward off. an attack.
 The mob surged around the officer and was threatening to-. thrash him, until he summoned aid with his police whistle. Max Schoulder and other special officer came to his aid and carried the prisoner to jail, while Beatty held back the mob. Later they were joinel by other officers from head quarters, who were sent to answer the four blast signal.
 Schoulder, while attempting to make his way throukh the mob, sustained a severe slash on his left hand. The wound was apparently made with a pair of scissors welded by an uniden- tified member of the mob.

 Of course, they die after f(w years. Or sink to the bottom. But What cho- rus girls ever thought of tRat?
 
 The ten per cent tip just right, theoretically. But theory( doesn't jibs with practice here. Try I ten per cent tip on a waiter in an all night restau- rant and see if he kisses you. Here's one reason.
 A Chinese company plans to reopen one of the cabarets which was recently padlocked. It will gmploy one hundred walters. Each waiter will hand the cashier three dollars at the beginning of each week or hel doesn't get his badge. And the hatnaD has agreed to pay S15,OOO for the privilege of holding hats during the coming year. There's an income of $3000O assured to the restaurant before a single dinner check is paid.
 Incidentally, the Chinese menace is becoming more alarming to the cater ing profession hereabouts. More Chi nese restaurants are being opened every few days. The trouble with the Chinese-considered as competitors-is that they are clean. That almost comes under the head of unfair practice.

CLOTH INDUSTRY
 SOON TO REGAIN
 FOREIGN MARKET
Will Soon Reap Benefit From Application Of
 Experts Plan
(By Leased wire to Ase- -Herald)

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, August 81. The New England textile industry, which was hit first, hardest and for the longest period by the depression wave which swept over American busi- ness after the war, hopes to be the first to reap great benefit from the application of the experts plan Tn Europe.
 By sprihg, some manufacturers pre- dict, European markets will again be open tos them for the first time since 1918.
 Already, however, there is a gradual but important improvement in the northern cotton manufacturing indus try. The loss of foreign market was the biggest blow the industry ever received, but it has been accompanied by a series of kicks, cuffs and other eco homie abuse during the past few years which forced 1t into the worst condition of any large American manufacturing business since prohibition hit the dis tillers. Some of the problems created by these reverses are being solved.
 Fow On Firm Ground
 A few cotton manufacturers, by dint of their wide-awake pursuit of the trend of their maeket ad the applica- tion of economical business principles, have finally arrived on firm ground. others are following in their path and are erasing serious doubts as to the industries survival.
 Some of the wSllop the extile men have received in addition to be loss of their European market, are: 5 1. Erection of new mills and ex- pansion of existing mills during the war, which led to overdevelopment and overprodction.
 2. American women continued to re- Quire less and less material for dresses, abandoned ginghams, calico and other old standard weayes, and demanded fancy goods and novelty weaves which most New England mills were not equipped to makes The trend sat in toward silk, both ssnuine and artifical.
 3. Southern cotton mills, nearer the cotton fields and with cheaper labor. made heavy inroads, principally in the market for the cheaper and coarser fabrics.
 4. Even more dageroua competition developed from mills in England, India and China.
 5. Hard times hit the western grain belt. The farmers wife could buy few clothes and demand dropped for coarse fabrics which go into grain bags and other agriculturalS requirements.
 And there wereSother factors, more complex. which textile experts de- scribed. N Of course, the new mill still stand, ready for business; American women distinctly show no tendency to revert to the styles of 1850 when % yards of material frequently went into a dress; the sharp competition from abroad continues, and the south is now conceded practical monopoly on the cheaper, coarser products.

July IA from Vienna to Paris, dis tance of 650 miles. In the French capital they received one of the most enthusiastic welcomes of the trip and after day proceeded to London, where a stay of ten days was scheduled to prepare the machines for the hop across the Atlantic.
 Schedule From London
 From London the schedule arranged to bring the aviators to the Atlantic coast of the North American continent included stops at Hull, England, then jump of 370 miles to Kirkwan in the Orkney islands; one of 275 miles to Thorshavn, Farce islands; thence to Hornafjord, Iceland. 260 miles to Rey- kjavik, Iceland, 339 miles; to Ang- magsalik, Greenland, the most northerly point touched in the Atlantic, 800 miles; to Ivigtut, Greenland, 500 miles. and to Indian Harbor, Labrador 672 miles.
 The remainder of the trip will take the flyers to Cartwright Harbor, Labrador. 40 miles, thence to Hawkes. Bay, Newfoundland, POO miles, and on to Pictou Harbor, Nova Scotia, APO miles. From the last point the avia- tors will begin to think of home, which to them after such a trip will be the entire United States. A flight of 520 miles will bring them down along the Maine coast to Boston, with only two more hops left, one of 185 miles to Mitchell field, and another of 220 miles to Washington.
 Originally 1t was intended to have the flight end at Washington, but short time ago officials of the air serv- ice announced that they favored con tinuing the flight to the coast, in or der that the air route around the world would actually be completed. It 1t proposed to have the fliers leave Washington for the cross-continent flight, following the route to Mounds vile, W. Va, Dayton, Ohio, and then along the air mail line as far west per haps as Sacramento, Ca6 before turn ing north to SeattleI Washington, where the flight will shd.
 Air officials plan flo have the trip west made as expeditiously as possible in order that efforts to beat the record of the American filters, which are ex- pected to be stafted generally, may be made as difficElt as possible.
