after the councils of each place have ratified the agreement, but I think the board acted wisely in submitting the matter to the people of Ensley. Ii seems by the reading of the resolution as adopted by the citizens of the Fifth ward that the consolidation of Wylam with Ensley is undesirable to them. I wish to say that Vivian is not beg ging to come into Ensley by any means. The question of the merging of Wylam with Ensley originated in Ensley and not in Wylam. I was un- der the impression that the citizens of Bnsley, as a whole, were in favor of consolidation and would welcome Wylam to join hands with them in order to expand and have in the dis triet d greater Ensley as. well as d greater Birmingham. Personally, I think the merging of the two places would have been a benefit to all, and l do not think the agreement as signed by the joint committee unfair or ask ing too much, taking into considera- tion the difference in the indeb tedness. Vivian, with 5000 popula ton, 8 total indeb tedness of less than 5000, a tax rate of half of per cent, which would be doubled would, I believe, add ma terially to Ensley credit. This would have met the sewerage proposition with ease. I thought the plan of con meeting with the Fifth ward sewerage a practical one, as Wylam has a na- tural drainage into it, and if it cannot be made possible to drain through a sewerage system, we are high and dry. with splendid natural drainage. We have not been expecting to get some- thing for nothing, and if ever the con solidation Is perfected it will have to be on fair basis of justice and right to all"

Womack,s Horse Stolen.

A bold robbery occurred this morning in Ensley in which John Womack, who lives at Rutledge Springs, had fine horse stolen from him. MT, WomacS runs a truck farm near Ensley and had ridden the horse to the city While at tending to some business he tied the horse on the vacant lot at Avenue G and Eighteenth street. During his absence 0 white man was seen examining the horse and as no one was near mounted the horse and rode off MT. Womack learning his horse had been ridden off thought possibly some friend was using him. On making inquiries, however. he be- came suspicious and notified the police authorities.
 A posse was organized and the woods and roads secured for miles, but no trace of the robber could be found. The assembling of the posse and the ap- pearance of so many men who were all armed with shotguns, created much ex- citement, as the report got out that a nameless crime had been committed. The friends and neighbors of MT. Womack made a diligent search but no trace of the man or animal could be found MT. Womaclk values the anaimal at $250, but was not willing to sell even at that fig ure The police are using every effort 10 locate the culprit and they believe he will be found. .4.. aalatf N sls

 of the Steel City.

Ensley, May 23.-(Special)- )-Ensley pub lie schools will celebrate their commence ment exercises this week, concluding with the graduating exercises of the High school next r lay night in the Ensley opera house. class to be graduated is one of the largest in the history of the school, Quite a number of certificates will be issued to pupils in special courses in addition to the diplomas awarded to those taking the regular course.
 Sydney J. Bowie will be the speaker at the graduating exercises MT. Bowle's experience has peculiarly fitted him for an address along the line of education, and his talk will undoubtedly be very interesting. Vocal selections by the grad uating class both individually and in chorus will form a very pleasing part of the nights entertainment.
 Under the care of Superintendent of Ed ucation Thomas R. Walker the Ensley schools have attained a remarkable growth during the past year, and i'm proved in many ways. Large sums have been spent in the equipping of the man ual training department, the installation of new desks and in enlarging and re- modelling some of the school houses. In addition to the new eight-room Minor building erected in the Fifth ward dur ing the past year, five new rooms have been added to the different other schools. Ensley has been fortunate in securing splendid talent in the teaching line, the effect of this having been shown in the general high standing of the different a1aceac

Since the announcement of the resump- ton of the steel mill and the later state ment that the Southern Steel will also re- sume at an early date together with the official notice of the reopening of the mines, there has been quite an opti- mistic feeling in Ensley, and the reports have made much activity in business and real estate circles While the people of Ensley realize that at the present time both business is dull and work scarce. still the fact that the works will soon resume is causing them to take a cheerful view of the situation
 At the mill every indication points to an early start as the hot pots and ladies are being refined and dried out ready for use. The furnaces are also being dried out and other minor details are being attended to so that they can make an immediate start.

CRUSADE PLANNED
BY "DOGGONE CLUB"
Citizens of Southeast VIII
Rescue Homeless CANNES
From the Pound Pen.

Make way for the "Doggone Club
Citizens of the southeast section Of
the city propose to come to the rescue
of all the bow-wows gobbled UP by the
dog wagon officers and tossed into the
pound.
There will be an indignation meeting
at the drug store of Guy NJ. Neeley,
245 Eleventh street southeast, at 1;5O
O'Clock tomorrow night, when the sit
,lation will be talked over and the
''Doggone Club" formally launched.
The object Of the clue is TO get after
the persons who framed up the recent
muzzIe and tax law with a big stick,
and, if possible, bring what the mem
bers consider the unlawful capture Of
dogs TO the attention Of the courts
According to Mr.. Medley the real bone
of contention lies IN the fact that south
east section dogs have been the victims
of circumstances For instance: dog
walking out on the street not accom-
panied by his owner is liable to lose
his muzzle or his license tag, and If
the pound man spots him in this coEdi-
ton, it's a free ride IN the wagon.
The owner may discover his loss that
night, visit the pound, prove beyond a
reasonable doubt his property, show a
receipt for the license tag and talk
until he gets black in the face, but there
will be nothing doing.
The dog catchers acting within their
rights cannot permit untagged or un-
muZZled dogs that have been captured
10 leave the pound. The GOg owner may
claim that when he saw the dog last
the animal was sealed and tagged
according 20 law, that some misCreant
took the tag or muZZle, and that II
Yves not his fault Just what action
can or VIII be done is prOblematical.
and the meeting tomorrow night prom
ises TO be lively.
Already Mr.. Neeley has a petition
signed by eighty-five citizens OF the
southeast section, all OF whom have
promised 10 be on hand and tell their
troubles Besides Mr. Medley those
most prominent are o. &. Ryan, 81
First street southeast; A /. Lucas, po-
lice station No. 3; T. O. Crown, 1913 =

We should put our homes in -cstful
color for the summer season Green
is the acknowledged shade Of repOse:

And blue is a cold color, suitable
therefore, for hot days
Red suggests warmth, and yellow IS

These Indian prints have been draped
