KATHERINE STINSON
TO FLY OVER ATLANTIC
Washington. January 6.— < Special.)
Katherine Stinson, Birmingham-born
aviatrix, intrepid and incomparable
among her sex. announces to friends in
Washington that she will return home
from France, where she is now en
gaged in Red Cross W’ork, through th«
air.
She will make the first attempt ta
cross the Atlantic in an airship Those
who have followed her career sinc«
she scored her first triumphs as a
woman aeronaut, believe that she will
succeed. She was the first woman to
loop the loop, and now has the record
for long distance, non-stop trips made
in the United States.
Miss Stinson was in Birmingham at
the time of the state fair a year ago
In Europe. she served the cause both
in'England and France.
WHITE CHEVRONS
CAUSE OF FIGHT
Washington. January 6.—(Special.)
In keeping with a story appearing in
The Age-Herald some days ago to the
effect that men of long home service
I resent the compulsory order of Secre
tary Baker requiring them to wear
white service stripes, a street brawl
was precipitated in Washington yes
terday by remarks directed by a wear
er of gold stripes to a wearer of white
The man who had seen service
abroad was asked by a young lady the
meaning of the white stripes. The man
replied that they denoted “the white
feather.*’ The wearer of the white
stripes overheard and knocked the
wearer of the gold stripes down. He
then apologized to the lady and ex
plained that he could not have done
otherwise.
Secretary Baker declares that his or
der will stand. Tt is his point that in
after years, the man of service, wheth
er performed at home or abroad, should
be separated by insignia from the man
who did nothing. At the same time
the man who remained at home
against his violent protest wants to
be separated from the man who re
mained at home because his berth was
soft and safe.
MANY DISTRICTS
WANT HUN CANNON
Washington, January 6.—(Special.)
Predictions in this correspondence that
the country would soon engage in a
lively scramble for the 1400 field and
trench guns and hundreds of machine
guns captured by American troops from
the Germans, which are now en route
to this country, is already borne out in
fact.
Yesterday,, and today marked a total
i of 54 bills introduced in the House di
! recting the secretary of war to place
j one or more of these guns in centers of
various congressional districts. Even
tually this course will be pursued, in
• all probability, although it is certain
i that for some time the trophies will
j be displayed in Washington,
i It is a matter of record that some
bills are still pending in Congress di
recting the Secretary of War to locate
in northern districts some of the guns
captured by Confederate troops and
recovered when General Lee surren
dered his 7900 effective rifles to Gen
eral Grant’s army at Appomattox.
EXPLAINS DELAY
IN CASUALTIES
Washington. January 6.—(Special.)
The long delay in reporting casualties
which has often resulted in fearful an
ticipation on the part of parents with
sons in France, and in many ludicrous
incidents, is explained in the Congres
sional Record by Senator Weeks of
Massachusetts in the following man
ner:
“In the case of a man who died on
the field of battle, it took an aver
age of 9.68 days to start the report
on its way to the central records
office, located in Paris. These 9.58
days were consumed in making the
company report and in investigat
ing the correctness of that report.
From the regimental headquarters
the list would be started on its way
to Paris; but on account of the diffi
culties in telegraphing American
names over French lines, the courier
system was adopted for this purpose.
A limited number of Ford
Trucks can be delivered at an
early date. Give us your order
today and avoid an indefinite
delay of delivery.

LIFE AND VIGOR
Florence Chamber of Com
merce Widely Recognized
as Body of Citizens
Who I)o Things
fly H. FOl XT VI\E LITTLE
Florence, January 6.— (Special.)—The
city of Florence. “Queen City of the Ten
nessee Valley," has had frequent and j
substantial manifestations during the |
past year of the value of a well-organ
ized chamber of ^commerce, as an ad
junct to all its progressive, material and
moral agencies, engaged in the advance
ment, growth and upbuilding of the com
munity. The Chamber of Commerce of
Florence, widely recognized as a body of
citizens who do things, has added life
and vigor to community energy and has
given distinct and potential vitality to
the local public spirit. So that in begin
ning the new year, it promises even more
signal aid in promoting the city’s prog
ress, and, peradventure, its achievements
during the coming twelve months will ex
ceed its beneficencies during the year
fust closed.
In all of America it would be difficult
to find a similar body of citizens who
have greater faith in their home city than
(hat which is evidenced by the people of
Florence. Indubitably there are few com
munities in America whose records can
equal the marvelous record of progress
that has been made in Florence during
the past year. And the showing for the
past year is but the beginning of what
is planned for th * ensuing twelve
months. It suffices to say that 1919 will
be a feverishly active year for the local
Chamber of Commerce.
MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN
With the beginning of the new year a
membership campaign was launched, as
a result of which, when it comes to a
close this week, it is certain that the
membership of the local chamber will be
greatly increased. Plans have likewise
been initiated for the re-organization of
the chamber in* all its branches. A
financial budget, which calls for a total
sum of $26,525, to be expended during the
present year, has also been prepared and
presented for approval. Members of the
chamber have gone on record almost
unanimously favoring the proposed bud
get, which indicates that it will be
adopted. Starting tomorrow, a drive will
be made to raise the funds by popular
subscription, and indications are that the
amount will be oversubscribed.
A regular session of the Florence
rharnber of Commerce is scheduled to be
held tonight, and the guests of the even
ing will be lion. C. VH. Huston of Chatta
nooga, and Maj. John F. Sullivan. U. S.
A., in charge of operations at the Muscle i
Shoals nitrate plant. Mr. Huston is one ;
of the south's best known men. He has
stood at the forefront of affairs in Chat
tanooga for many years past, and is the
recognized leader of every community
movement in that city. It is expected
that he will address the meeting, as will
also Major Sullivan, and others who will
be present. The meeting will be held in
the I^auderdale county courthouse, in
order to seat the large audience that is
expected to be present.
Thus it is the Florence Chamber of
Commerce is starting off the new year,
ami it is not doubted that it will estab
lish a record that will redound not only
to the credit and glory of the civic or
ganization itself, but to the tremendous
good of the Florence community as a
whole.
and it required an average of 4.36 days
for the lists to reach the central rec
ords office in Paris. There then took
place another checking up of records,
as a result of which the average time
the name remained in the central rec
ords office was seven days, or a to
tal of 22 days from the time the cas
ualty occurred to the time the name
was put on the cable and sent to the
United States.”
Two interesting cases developed in
Washington last week. A major, while
greeting his family after long ami
dangerous absence, signed a telegram
in which it was announced wuth re
gret that he had been gassed. He was
gassed several weeks ago, had recover
ed and reached home.
A sergeant at W’alter Reed hospital I
was notified that he had been wound- !
ed in France. He had recovered and
was convalescing in America.

|House Appropriations Com
mittee Approves Presi
dent’s Request by a
Very Close Vote
By As?oel*trd Prew
Washington, January 6.—By a vote
described as “very close,” the House
appropriations committee today ap
proved the request of President Wil
son that Congress appropriate $100,
000,000 for relief work in Europe, out
side of Germany. The bill as finally
agreed upon will be reported to the
House tomorrow and Chairman Sher
ley said he would seek prompt action.
Opposition to the President’s pro
posal was not on party lines, demo
crats as w'ell as republicans voicing
disapproval. Only 14 of the 21 mem
bers of the committee were present and
it was said that one of these abstained
from voting. No announcement of the
vote was made, but it was understood
that it was seven to six, with Chair
man Sherley casting the deciding bal
lot.
Some members were said to have pro
tested that a comprehensive plan for
the administration of the relief should
have been presented to the committee,
and insisted that definite information
should have been given to the amount
of contributions to be made by allied
countries. They also were understood
to have expressed doubt whether the
country, in view of heavy war taxes
and another loan next spring, would
approve of the direct gift of any part
of the money, or be able to sustain
added financial burdens.
CANNON MAKES MOTION
The motion to favorably report the
bill was made by Representative Can
non of Illinois, republican. Represen
tative Cox of Indiana, democrat, urged
that an audit of the expenditures be
made mandatory, but his amendment,
striking1 out the provision requiring
the audit only '‘where practicable,” was
lost, six to five, three members not
voting.
Representatives Sisson and Gallivan
of Massachusetts, democrats, and Rep
resentative Gillett of Massachusetts.
Good of Iowa and Mondell of Montana,
also were said to have spoken against
ihe bill, while Representative Byrns
of Tennessee, democrat, did not vote
on the final roll call.
As finally approved the bill gives
the President discretionary authority
in the expenditure of the fund, which
may be used as a revolving fund until
next June 30, and provides that while
food shall be given free to starving
people unable to pay for it, “the ex
penditures shall be reimbursed so far
as possible by the governments, or sub
j divisions thereof or the peoples to
i whom the relief is furnished.”
