FOR y.M.G.A. CONVENTION
NORFOLK CHURCHES UNITE TO
SECURE STATE CONVENTION.
WOULD BE HELD IN FEBRUARY
Committee From Norfolk Churches
VIII Urge Norfolk's Claims - May
Mean the Establishment Of an AS
ISOLATION In Norfolk.

W.T. Urge Norfolk's Claims - May
Mean the Establishment Of an As
ISOLATION In Norfolk.
Following the action of the CONNER.
cial club directors in endorsing the
movement to have the next state con
vention of the Young Mems Christian
association meet in Norfolk, a de-
termined effort has been organized
to bring the meeting to this city. The
interests of Norfolk in securing the
state convention will be looked after
by committee representing the
city.
This general committee is expected
to unite the churches of the city in an
effort to bring the meeting to Norfolk
and in arranging for the gathering
after the convention is secured. The
Methodist church will be represented
on the committee by Rev. ]. l.. Val
low and l.. M. Beeler, the Baptist
church by Rev. F. w. Benjamin and
e. K. Coleman, the First Congrega-
tional church by Rev. w. J. Turner
and G. T. Sprecher. Other additions
to the committee are expected to be
announced soon.
1t is the practice of the Y. M. G.
A. to hold its conventions in some
city where the association has no
local organization but where the con-
ditions are favorable for instituting a
prosperous association furnished with
substantial home and necessary
equipment. Assistant Secretary e. j.
Simonds thinks that the state execu-
tive committee may be shown that
these conditions exist in Norfolk. The
location of the February convention
will be termined by this comittee
sometime during the next few months,
Before leaving Norfolk Tuesday Mr..
Simonds said: "The last two years
have seen a half million dollars going
into Y M. c. A. buildings over the
state of Nebraska. Central City,
York, Fremont, Hastings, Beatrice,
Lincoln and Omaha have built or are
building Y. M. C. A. buildings to cost
$4,000 to 100000 Towns the size of
Norfolk are putting up about $25,OOO
buildings.
THE state convention in Columbus
last February resulted in the raising
of $4,000 in six weeks for a new
building.
IAN investment in young mems char
acter is the safest and surest invest
ment the business men of this world
are making today. President Roose-
welt says the Y M. c. A. is the great
est trust in America but he calls it
the Ideal Trust With over $4,000
900 invested in buildings and equip
ment, it is the greatest physical train
ing school in the world, has the largest
night schools in existence and the
greatest band of Christian men in the
world.
"If Norfolk is to secure the state
convention and later fine $4,000
building everyone must begin to plan
and talk big things"

PARTY PAYS VISIT TO
ENSLEY AND THOMAS
Routine Work Done at Execu-

WILL REMAIN OVER TODAY
Ultimate Plans Contemplate the Ex-
penditure OF Between $25,ooo,ooo
and $so,ooo,ooo In Improving
Properties in This District.

John w. Gates. Grant 3. Schley, L. C.
Hanna and E. w. Oglebay, directors of
the Tennessee Republic companies, who
with President John A. Topping form an
executive committee, spent the greater
part of yesterday inspecting the extern
sive improvements being made at the
Tennessee's Ensley plant and at the Re-
public's Thomas plant.
The largest development work in pro-
gress In the Birmingham district is at
Ensley, but some important improve
ments aer under way also at Thomas.
At the latter place old boilers that have
been in use at the furnaces are being
replaced by water tube boilers of the
Sterling type.
The visiting directors expressed them
selves as well satisfied with the new
work. When these directors were here
last spring they decided to increase their
raw material output, to extend their
steel mill, to rebuild on a large scale old
blast furnaces and to modernze every
thing in connection with their Ensley
plant.
Plans were made out as fast as pos
sible and during the summer the work
OF construction was begun. The Ten
nessee company's yards at Ensley have
presented a wonderfully busy scene for
months past. and considering the sub
stantlal character of the improvements,
excellent progress has been made. 1t is
expected that all the work now in course
of construction win be completed within
about a year and half.
At the session of the executive COM
mttee held this week at local headquar-
tiers In the Woodward building, only rou
tine business has been considered.
A member of the committee stated last
night that no plans for additional devel-
opment would be taken up until the
present work was finished. But it is
well known that the Tennessee company
intends within the next few years to still
further increase it's productive capacity.
Twenty-Five or thirty million dollars will
probably be expended on expansion in
side Of five years.
The directors will remain in Birmng-
ham until tonight and it may be that they
will be here until Thursday.

Cannot Be Covered Monthly.

The matter of holding weekly meetings
of the Jefferson County Medical society
is under consideration, and 1t will be
decided at the next regular meeting
A number of the members have been
urging the matter of meeting weekly,
claiming that when meetings are held
only twice a month there is much Of
Importance that cannot be discussed and
acted on.
The question was to have been taken
up at the meeting Monday night. but the
discussion of the topic for the evening
consumed so much time that the society
could not take up several business mat
tiers. 1t was, therefore, postponed, until
the next meeting.
At the meeting Monday night the doc
tors discussed the gastric ulcer. The
four physicians who discussed it and
their subjects were as follows:
