TrestIe is Needed.

J. D. Chamblee: 'I endorse the Age Heralds editorial in demanding gates for grade crossings. Something should be done, and done at once, to protect hu- man life against fatal accidents. On First avenue at the Sloss furnaces the street cars should cross the railroad tracks by trestle."
 Robert Redus: "I think something ought to be done to lessen the chances for accident at grade crossings. The putting in of gates seems practical so- lution of the question, and I think the position taken editorially by the Age Herald in the matter Is correct"
 Robert McDavid: Some action ought to be taken by the city to lessen the danger of such accidents as that of Sat urday The Twentieth street crossing Is notoriously dangerous. and 1t is but matter of time when some similar acci- dent will occur here if safeguards. such as gates are not put in"
 Frank Foster: "rhe dangerous charac- ter of the grade crossings is so obvious that it seems no time should be lost in establishing such safeguards as are possible for the public. The position of the Age-Herald is correct. Nearly every city in the United States has gates at grade crossings, especially cities of the size of Birmingham.
 Extremely Dangerous.
 Solon Jacobs: There can be no ques- ton but that these grade crossings are extremely dangerous. The putting in of gates, especially automatic gates which will block fhe track when the road is oren, and vice versa. would be a great protection. It would be expensive to the railroads to put them in. but doubt if 1t would be more so than some serious acci- dent"
 pr. A. B. Curry: T believe the Ssty should see that gates are provided at all grade crossings. I do not recall city the size of Birmingham that is so negligent in this respect. We should not suffer long, CT on this account. It has come to such condition that when we board a car with our families, that we do not know whether we will arrive safely at our des- tination. Something should be dcne to coiress this neglect"

Miss Ward Hurt Worse Than
 First Supposed
PEOPLE WANT PROTECTION
Prominent Citizens Endorse the Posi- ton of the Aee-Herald in Insist ing on Gates At All the
 Grade Crossings.

The people injured in the collision of the East Lake car and a Louisville and Nashville freight train Saturday will probably all recover, no complications having set in In any of the cases which cause the physicians to fear q fatal end- ing. Mss Annie Mae Ward and Morton Colosia, the two most seriously injured. are in critical condition. but the physi- clans believe both win live. Miss Eileen Lampkln was removed to her home in East Lake yesterday morning, and it is thought che will be able to be out in Q few days. She has recovered rapidly from the nervous shock.
 The injuries of Mise Ward apout the head are slightly worse than was at first supposed, but those about the body are not as serious. The blow she received on the left side of her face tore the nalor bore from the adjoining bone. and 1t is not certain how serious the wound Is. The nalar bone is just under the eye. The lower jaw bone was broken in two places, one where 1t joins the other Jaw bone ana the other about the middle or the left side. Besides these broken bones the flesh on her face Is severely lacerated.
 Mrs. Colosia's injuries are not more se- rious than first reported. They consist of the left leg broken ard several bruises. No signs of internal injuries to Morton Colosia have developed, and physicians consider his chances of recovery greatly improved. The condition of Mrs. E. C.. Jauney and c. Nara Is favorable.
 There Is still a division of opinion as to which company Is responsible for the accident, the evidence of employees of l each heinz conhipfinP

 number of prominent citizens of Bir- mingham were asked their opinion as to what should be done to protect the peo- pie against accidents of this sort. In all instances they agreed that the editorial of Sundays Age-Herald calling for gates at the grade crossings was timely and 1 that some steps should be taken looking to remedying the situation.
 Father O'Reilly: T think the editorial of the Age-H was timely and that something should be done to protect the people. Me are no longer a small town and the risk of such accidents increases as the city grows. It is much greater than it was ten years ago."
 w. A. Chenoweth: q concur very heartily in the idea of having gates and will be glad to render any assistance can I want to add a protest against the hagmen. They are not worth a cent"
 P. S. Ferguson: "I think the editorial is very timely and the suggestion wise one. I think something radical should be done at once"
 Eugene Fies: q thought the editorial first-class and the gates are something all cities should have. We have come very nearly being run over several times at the Eighteenth street crossing by the fagman fagging us to cross and then stopping us'

Dr. Curry then showed that this pro- mise had been fulfilled in the opening up of the world to missions wherever the church has pressed forward. He stated that the prosperous churches are the missionary churches. He instanced the fact that during the seventeen or eigh- teen centuries when the churches did no mission work, they came near pershing through the prevalence of infidelity. That only after they took up this work did prosperity return. He called attention to the further fact that the Baptist denom- ination divided in two on this issue, one part believing in missions, the other part opposed to them. The former, the mis- sion Baptists. nave been so blessed with Christ's presence that 1t has become one of the greatest bodies in the United States. The latter, the primitive or hard shell, Baptists, have become so small that they are seldom heard of among the great modern denominations.
 He closed with an appeal to the congre- gation to engage heartily in mission work.

IN the July number Of 1.-THE Book
worm" are many clever reviews by Biz
mingham women. the stan Of the Book

Der of bright women than win be found
on the staffs OF many older magazines.
Mrs. Julia Nelly Finch Is among the
brilliant writer's who each month make
the Boolxworm more entertaining and
interesting. while Mrs. McLester. Mrs.
W. S. Murdoch. Mrs. Jane Porter Scott
Woodruff, Anne Bozeman Lyon. Miss
Hamilton. Mrs z. 7. Taliaferro. Miss
Dangaix and others contribute compre-
hensive and charming reviews of both
old and new books.
In the list of July contributors is a
new name, that of NJ Bray Guice. (Mrs.
Lloyd Guiee) charming writer, and
artist. Mrs. Guice reviews one of the
latest books, Liquid from the Suns
Rays" by Sue Greenleaf, the short and
clever review being as follows:
The present seems to be a time Of
working over the old into new form; an
attempt to look at the old truths with the
searchlight of science, sitting the wheat
from the chaff to gain the clear truth IL
lunined by modern reason and practical
investigation.
There IS no new thing under the
sun" is being verified every day by the
group of writer's VINO thus evolve SEEM
ingly new off-shoots and branches of new
thought from the trunk of ancient faiths.
Thus Sue Greenleaf in Liquid from
the Suns Rays goes back to the foun-
dations Of Biblical lore, and in another
way, and under the advanced light and
thought of ar added century and a half,
from the year 1893, anticipates that the
great scientist of the new day will con-
dcnse a lotion from the suns rays which
opens the eyes and quickens the memory
Of the partaker to the good and evil Of
the past life.
he main purpose of this new light
and knowledge seems to be that criminals
who escape just punishment in one exis-
tence can In a future life be brought to
final judgment and justice.
Thus the doctrine of reincarnation is
set forth.
The title of the book in itself claims
originality of thought, and as it would
imply, the imaginative quality of the
writer is brought into play and through
out the pages is moderately well sus-
tained Though poorly upheld by m1tional
power or beauty of diction.
1t does not hold the attention of the
reader, thus lacking the depth and in
sight Of an artistic creation.
Crudenoss of presentation and stiffness
of style mark the writing though as an
other long look ahead in scientific tri-
umphs and religious thought, it may in
terest mCny readers.
