A Blue Grass Horse Lover.
Down in the blue grass country there's
a famous and wealthy breeder OF race
horses. a man who has sent many of the
equine giants OF their epochs to the races,
who is so attached TO every animal of his
vast breeding estate-and there are hum
dreds of them-that he will not remain on
the ranch, nor, for the matter of that in
the state of Kentucky, when the day comes
for the chloroforming of one of the old
four-legged producers to put him or her out
of misery
He simply can't stand the idea of being
near them when their hour comes to die
the humane death.
His foreman always notifies the old man
when one of the horses Is in such a condi-
b. the drug Then the old man goes out TO
the shed, takes a last look and farewell OF
the doomed brute. after which he Just
packs his grip and sneaks up to Washing
ton or New York or Chicago until he Is in
formed that it's all over.
Every one of the dead stud animals on
that beautiful place is buried under a
mound with a marble maidstone on which
IS carved all Of the animals performance
and triumphs, together with the name OF
the animals most distinguished progeny.
The old man isn't any sentimentallst, either,
except to his horses. Yet when, a few
years ago, Il was seen that one of the very
greatest OF his stallions-one of the MODEST
race horses in his time that ever stood on
iron-was all In and tottering to a painful
death, he actually raced for New York and
took a steamer for Europe so to be out
in mdocean when the fayoTite of all his
flock went TO his chlOroform death"

1928 SALOONS IN CITY
LIMITS OF BIRMINGHAM

Graysville, Brookside, Cardiff and War
rlor.
In Birmingham, the state and county
licenses on each saloon amount to S525
annually, of which amount the state gets
$3.50 and the county $175. The total amount
accruing annually from the sale of liquor
in Birmingham to the state and county
amounts to s65,099, of which the state
would get s4S399 Ss and the county, ST.
500 s.
The cost of a license for saloon in the
other cities of the county varies with
the population. The average value of a
license is $3.50, making total revenue of
$25, $50 to the state and county from sa-
looms outside the city of Birmingham.
The saloons of Jefferson county pay to
the state and county 500. 649 for the privi-
lege of selling liquor each year. That
does not include the separate tax levied
on all pool billiard and domino tables.
Those figures are not exact in all in
stances, but they are approximately cor
rect.
Mr.. Moody does not state why he de-
sires the figures, other than that they
would make interesting facts

QUESTION OF MOVING EMER-
GENcY HOSPITAL FROM OLD Eu-
BANK RESIDENCE WILL BE SET
TIED BY BOARD OF REVENUE.

At the meeting of the Board of Rev.
enue tomorrow, among other matters
that will probably come up. will be the
question of moving the emergency hos
pital, or detention camp, from the old
home of DIR. ALI Eubank beyond North
Birmingham.
1t Will be remembered that the hospital
was established at DIR. Enbank's old home
by the Board of Revenue In order that
any person suspected of having yellow
fever could be detained at the hospital,
which will be under the charge of DIR.
]. w. Watts
A committee of citizens owning prop
erty in the neighborhouo of the place
waited on the Board of Revenue in an
effort to have the hospital moved. No
they felt that 1t would be detrimental
to the value of real estate in that vicin-
ity If the hospital has to be used
The matter was left with DR.. Eubank,
the board agreeing to vacate the house
IL he would release the county from the
contract. Dr. Eubank, who Is himself
a property holder in that neighborhood,
states that he does not want to do any
thing that would be a menace to that Sec
ton, and states that he will readily re-
lease the Board of Revenue from the con-
tract If the house Is Objectionable to a
majority of the neighbors.
DR., Eubank said yesterday that he had
been told by other people living In the
neighborhood that 1t was very improb-
able that the house would ever be used
as an emergency hospital, but that In
case 1t should be II would in no way
work an injustice on the people living
near there. The nearest house to the
place is over quarter of a mile distant.
City Health Officer Hardness stated that
the home of DIR. Euhank Is the best place
in the county for an emergency hospital
He states that 1t would be impossible for
contagious disease to be transmitted
from the house to others In the neighbour
hood provided ordinary precautions were
taken.

proposition was defeated by large ma

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
Birmingham Citizens Got Up Early to
See the Moon Obscure the Sun.

The moon played Its once-in- ffteen-year
prank on the sun promptly at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning, when Miss Luna
loomed up in front of Mr.. Soils counten-
ance and obscured for a few moments a
part of the larger lumnary's effulgence.
Birmingham people got up in large
number at an early hour to see the par
tial eclipse. They watched for the sun
to come up and had the satisfaction Of
seeing the suns face partly obscured by
the moon
The eclipse didn't last long, but 1t gave
all persons who saw 1t the privilege of
knowing and saying that they had wit
messed at least one eclipse of the sun. The
observation was SO slight that 1t was Inn
perceptlble so far as diminishing the light
shed by the sun.

AS to the Gulfport infection. Governor
vardaman of Mississippi, today said that
1t came from Mississippi City and that
Mississippi City got 1t from New Orleans
before quarantine was put on, due to the
fact that the authorities here acted In
bad faith In concealing the fever. A con-
troversy of large proportions Is expected
to develop when the fever has passed as
to who has been culpable.
DIR. C. NJ. Stanley of North Dakota,
and DIR. w. M. Richards of New Orleans,
left today for Barataria. They will re-
main there and seek to stamp out the
fever. They will have the advantage OF
operating among isolated settlements but
will find 1t difficult to take the preeau-
lions possible in built-up communities
against the stegomyia. The two doctors
will have charge of a forty-mile strip
and their task will, perhaps, be more diff
flcult than that of any of the fever
fighters except the two who are at Lee
Vile. Nurses and provisions were taken
along. DIR. Brady went to Houma today
where one case exists.

ly launched today. The steamer Esparta
