By Edward Emerine, WNU Features.

THE mellowness Of the old, the
= hustle of the new, the promise Of
the future. That is Alabama.
The stately ancestral mansions
still remain but coal and iron mines
nearby now TEEN with human activ-
ity. A forest of virgin timber may
surround forest of active smoke
stacks. The easy-going crossroads
general store Is not far from a mod
ern highway or an airport. A great
oak which sheltered Fernando De-
Soto holds its hoary moss over a
laboratory where chemical magic Is
performed. Here is hall where
once swirled crinolines beneath
thousand-candled chandeliers, and
down the same street Is a modern
office building where business af-
fairs are discussed. That's versatile,
gracious Alabama.
The word Alabama" in the Mus
kegean Indian tongue literally
means vegetation gatherers," or
"thicket clearers." And well the
word may, for Alabama's 200 types
of soil grow more than 4, 400 species
OF trees and plants as well as most
of the agricultural products known to
the temperate zone! Average annual
rainfall is 1897 inches, while the
average annual temperature ranges
from go degrees F. in the northern
part of the state to 81 degrees F..
near the coast. The growing season
ranges from 100 days in the north
ern part to 300 days on the southern
coast.
Cheaha mountain, the states high
est point, is 2,407 feet above sea
level. Alabama stretches 1886 miles
from the Appalachian mountains to
the Gulf of Mexico.
Not only is Alabama the land of
corn and cotton. 1t also grows pea
nuts, hay and oats, truck crops and
fruits, and in many sections has
specialties such as water cress,
gladioli and peonies, as well as its
famed azaleas and camelia japoni-
cas-. There are many commercial
nurseries.
In 1914, there were 1,255, 1000 head
OF cattle in the state, both beef and
dairy type. Alabama has over a mil
lion head of hogs and 100000
chickens. (Southern-fried? Yes, lots

But they do not forget their heri-
tage of the past.
DeSoto and his Spaniards passed
through the lower Gulf country in
1540. Once a part Of Louisiana, it
was old Fort Louis de la Mobile
on Mobile river that was made the
capital in 1902. Mobile at its present
site dates from I'LL. Later Alabama
was part of the territory of Mis-
sissippi, formed in 1898, but be-
came a separate territory in 1917
and state in 1919. St. Stephens
was the territorial capital, and
Huntsville was the temporary seat
of the first state government. Ca
hawba was the first state capital
site, but the government moved to
Tuscaloosa in 1926. 1t was not until
1847 that Montgomery became the
permanent seat.
When Alabama seeded from the
Union on January II, 1861, the dele
gates from the southern states met
at Montgomery and selected Jeffer-
son Davis as president of the Con-
federacy. He was inaugurated at
the present state capital.
Alabama passed through the
throes Of reconstruction after the

Alabarna's Forests

The forests Of Alabama constitute
one Of its greatest assets, supporting
$500 sawmills, paper and pulp
mills and 133 other wo0d-using indus
tries, and giving employment to 1OO,-
600 people.
The state has approximately 10
million acres Of forest growth. As
some lands are cleared other lands
are being planted to trees. Pines,
cypress, red cedar and hemlock are
principal soft woods, while hard
woods include oak, red gum, etc.

tie, and clay and shale for brick
making. It has sandstone and marble
for building, bauxite as source for
aluminium, quartzite and rock as
phalt. Five oil wells are now pro-
ducing in Choctaw county.
In industry, the state has lumber,
shipbuilding, textiles, mines, ce-
ment, pipe plants, chemicals, steel,
aluminium, hydroelectric plants and
dozens of others which use by-prod-
ucts and farm products in manufac-
turing and processing.
The annual value of products
manufactured in Alabama is more
than twice the value of all farm
products. Large industries using the
states natural resources have been
successfully operating over long Pc
RODS of years. The largest manufac-
turer Of cotton ginning machinery
in the world began its work In Ala
bama 1856 years ago in Prattville.-
Large textile mills have operated
100 years.
The iron and steel industry is con-
centrated in the Birmingham dis
trict. Necessary coal and ore are
readily available for the manufac-
ture of iron and steel.

Chinese Counselor
SPEAKS at Dinner of
WASHINGTON Clnb

Communists in China "form q
distinct minority" and their num-
bers have been hopelessly exagger-
ated," Chen Chih-mai, counselor OF
the Chinese Embassy, declared last
night.
Guest speaker at dinner at the
Washington Club, Mr.. Chen spoke
on "China's Policies and Aspira-
tions," explaining the struggle his
country has made for the past GO
years to establish united, demo-
cratic nation.
With all its people gradually be-
coming united under the guidance
of the Kuomintang. or the National
party, which founded the present
government of China, the speaker
declared that "the economic recov-
cry and development of China will
proceed with a momentum and
speed which will amaze the whole
world"
The Communists, he added,
through selfish ambitions of ndi-
vidual members, have striven to dis
unite China in their demands for a
separate army under their own COM
mand and the control of certain
provinces independent of the central
government.
While their opposition has proven
an obstacle to the united China pro-
gram lone should not be unduly
alarmed by the situation" Mr.. Chen
asserted.
THE Communists have used a
great deal of propaganda, both home
and abroad" he declared, making
absurd claims of their military
strength and processing to be re-
formers and democrats much to the
confusion of the naive and unin-
formed"
The speaker concluded with the
statement that the present policy of
open secession of the Communists in
China, dictated by a handful of
overly greedy militarists, does not
command the support Of the Chinese
people"
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin presided
at the dinner.
