BIG CONTRACTS
 GIVEN NEW FIRM
Batson-Jones Combine To Build Powder Plant And
 Develop Sandifer Tract

The Bessemer Engineering and Con struction company, a new $5O,OOO firm composed of Dewey Jones, president, B. l.. Batson, vice president, and F. 5. Jones, secretary treasurer, began oper- ations under suspicious conditions Fri day when it was awarded contracts for two large and important projects in the Birmingham district.
 The company was given the contract to erect the new half-million dollar plant of the Hercules Powder company, near Bessemer, and was also engaged by the Birmingham Land com pany to develop the Sandifer tract of 100 acres near the fairgrounds into high-class residential section.
 Previously, the new firm had been given contracts by the city commission of Birmingham for two important street paving projects. The firm has been open for business several days, with it's main office at 222 Brokers building, Birmingham, and a branch office at Bessemer in the Bessemer Trust and Savings company building.
 The Sandifer tract, according to Mir. Batson, will be developed into one of the city's choicest residence districts, and will serve to further close the gap between Fairview and West End, just east of the fairgrounds.
 All three members of the new firm are widely known in and around Bir- mingham, having been engaged in the construction business in this district for a number of years. Mir. Batson, an expert engineer, and a brother of Rad" Batson, has just completed one of the most important and difficult federal aid road projects in Alabama the $200,000 road between Athens and Florence.
 The new firm was organized with a capital stock of $50,000, of which $40,- 900 already has been paid in. It will make a speciality of grading, excavat- ing, concrete work and hauling.
 Dewey and F. B. Jones have been in the general construction business in the Birmingham district for 15, years Since forming their association with Mir. Batson, they state that they have been consulted about number of con- templated projects in and near the city, and that they confidently look for all the business they can handle. l.

THE GUIDE POST
BY Henry and TertiuS Van Dyke.
Parental Indulgence.

His father had not displeased him
at any time in saying, Why hast thou
done SOL Kings 1:6.
No wonder Adonijah exalted him.
self
He thought he was it.
Since his own father failed to dis
abuse him of this natural egotism, he
had small chance of making good.
The older generation is hardly JUS
tilted in condemning the youth of to-
day without accepting good share
in that condemnation.
For if there is one thing certain, it
is that you cannot perform your OBJ
legations to those who look to you for
guidance by dealing out benevolent
Indulgence.
Human nature always degenerates
under that treatment.
No one is educated for life until he
has learned to deny himself.
The man who cannot see why he
should not have his own way in all
things is headed straight for trouble.
And those who start him off on
that perilous path are involved in his
responsibility.
If YOU haven't the nerve to say no,
and to utter a warning to your chill
dren. what can you expect of the next
generation?
An indulgent parent is not an au-
spicuous beginning for boy or girl.
Ask any intelligent minister or pub
lie school teacher or sunday schooi
Heaven forfend that you should
learn IL from judge.

He scowled at Black Pussy.

rest of the day he kept watch of
Black Pussy. He was sure that she
didn't go near that chicken yard. Yet
when he counted the chickens before
shutting them up for the night an
other was missing.
Farmer Browns Boy shut the
chickens up and went over to the

Kitchen Cabinet.

The champion step saver of all
household appliances-that's what you
get when you buy kitchen cabinet.
Since it's primary motive is obvi-
ously convenience, and it's secondary
one must be necessarily sanitation,
you should consider every item about
a kitchen cabinet from these two
standpoints. Appearance, in compar-
ison, is of minor Importance.
Now, a kitchen cabinet is that mon
ument to modern ingenuity, a combi-
nation table and closet. And the
most efficient type of cabinet provides
place for practically all the sup
plies necessary in the preparation of
a meal-but it does not include space
for articles which are not needed
there, and SO would only be in the
way of the cook.
a desirable cabinet may be either
of wood or metal, or of a combination
of wood and metal. The all-metal
cabinet cannot absorb odorS, and it
is likely to be proof against vermin.
for you can simply wash 1t with
water without possibility of the ma
terial becoming soaked.
Wood cabinets are a bit harder to
well with paint, varnish or enamel,
are quite satisfactory. They are less
noisy than metal ones, too.
One of the first essentials of a
kitchen cabinet of either type is
table comfortably broad to work upon
and of correct distance from the floor
in proportion to the height of the
woman who will use it most. There
should be a roller bearing to open it,
and the material should be easy to
clean and impervious to grease and
moisture.
This table material always differs
from that of the main body of the
