LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
City Health Department.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

l To the Editor of The Age-Herald. 1 To the men who for several years have 1 been striving to formulate a modern health system for Birmingham, it is 1 highly gratifying to read in our Mayors s | recently published annual report the rec l concentrations looking to a reorganization 1 of the city health department That ] such reorganization is needed and bad I ly needed, cannot be doubted by any cit 1 izen who will inform himself as to our present lack of organization. The duties i of the Mayor have forced on his atten- ton the inadequacy of our present con ditions. These duties daily bring to his attention the great and growing import ance of properly conducted health de- partment His guiding principals of con duct have in this, as in all his official acts, impelled him to give his convc- tions. irrespective of political bearing. Honesty of opinion and the native bray cry to stand for his opinions, have char acterized this valuable citizen and off cial
 It is to be hoped that the press, and our citizens generally, will interest them selves in this most important department of municipal activity. There is need for i such general interest.
 The board of health, by our state law. is given advisory and supervisory powers in municipal health and sanitary af- fairs. It registered it's protest in un- mistakable terms prior to and subsequent to the Reorganization of our city health department, effected through an ordi- nance of tho City Council in December last This ordinance was passed by a small majority, it is true, but it still stands.
 During the prolonged negotiations be- tween the council and board of health preceding the action taken by the coun- cil, increase of efficienc.' was the argu- ment advanced by the board of health in favor of thorough organization. None other was essential.
 Our city health matters are in a bad way. The test of even four months has shown exactly what the board of health foresaw and forewarned. Personal bias has never yet been shown to be a safe guide in the determination of large pub lie questions and this experiment has been no exception.
 What the board of health proposes. what Mayor Ward recognizes as a neces- sity, is new or untried system. It represents the collective experience of a large number of the cities of this and other countries. A unified. co-ordinated health department. working in harmony with a responsible head or chief. who shall be a bonded official of the city and responsible to the Mayor and council for the conduct and the results of the differ ent bureaus of the department.
 As the Mayor points out, larger appro- priations will be required, but the time has come when the higher intelligence of the world recognizes the real economy of spending public funds for the safegutr1 ing of the health of the citizen. Proper, has long been safeguarded Now it IS the citizens turn Very respectfully.

 ON MANUFACTURES
Committee Will Take Up With Re newed Vigor the Campaign For
 Home Label.

The Manufacturers association met yes- terday afternocl, appointed a committee to get up the Booster train, consisting of ]. J. Smith, R. W. Ewing, E. Wilker- son and Sid B. Lee. They are to get the people to join the movement and put 1t under way.
 The association decided to get out an advertisement book of Birmingham show ing the list of manufacturers and their products. It was also decided to inaugu- rate campaign, a committee being ap- pointed to push the home label, to make ii household work in Birmingham and the state so that children toddling into the store will accept no other, old men will shake their gray hairs when it does not carry the home label and the young man will look for the home label on his first engagement ring.

EAST LAKE MAN SENDS ALARM TO SHERIFF'S OFFICE, BUT THE BLoODHOUNDS WERE UNABLE TO STRIKE THE TRAIL.

A man named Huey reported to the sheriff's office last night that he had been robbed of his watch and $62 near College station, in East Lake. Accord ing to his story, he left the car at Sev- enty-siXth street and walked up to- ward College station, going past his home block. After traversing this extra block he turned and started back home, when a negro suddenly stepped from behind a pole, thrust a revolver in his face and relieved him of his val uables
 The bloodhounds were sent to the scene and Deputy Sheriff Brown. who resides in East Lake, also responded to call The highwayman had disap- peared, however, and no trace of him could be found. The dogs tried for long while to strike trail, but with out success.

CHAS. H, SCOTTHERE
 FOR CONVENTION National Committeeman Lined
 Up With Davidson SESSIONS ARE HELD TODAY Judge Asa E. Stratton Will Probably Be Permanent Chairman of Con
 vention-Three Hundred
 Delegates Expected.
SESSIONS ARE HELD TODAY

There is absolutely no doubt about the Davidson faction republican delegation being seated at the national convention" said National Committeeman Charles H.
 scott, who arrived in Birmingham last night to attend the state convention of Davidson republicans, which convenes at o'clock this afternoon at the city hall.
 In addition to being a member of the national republican executive committee, Captain Scott is also one of the referees in Alabama for the President, and his attendance on the Davidson convention here today is regarded as a strong illus tration of the gaining strength of this faction. Delegates began arriving early yesterday afternoon and indications point towards everyone of the 300 being present when the roll is called this afternoon.
 It is believed that Judge Asa E. Strat- ton, who ran for governor two years ago on the republican ticket will be elected as permanent chairman of the convention. He is also being spoken of as candidate for delegate-at-large to the convention, of which four are to be elected today. Other candidates men, tioned are United States Clerk Charles J. Allison Judge George Randolph of Anniston and former Referee in Bank ruptcy Alex c. Birch. A state ticket will probably be named at the convention
 Captain Scott was accompanied by Jo- seph C. Manning, who has been a very active factor in the Davidson ranks and who has been elected as delegate to the national convention from the Fifth dis trict
 The delegation to the national conven- ton from the Davidson republicans will go uninstructed. Some of the delegates favor Hughes, others Cannon, Foraker and LaFollette, but it is an assured fact all are opposed to Taft. The delegation will travel in a special train or in special Pullmans to Chicago, and the leaders express themselves as being fully satis- fled that they will be recognized.
 Captain Scott last night expressed him. self as being opposed to an instructed delegation, especially in the southern states, where there is never a republican electoral vote. Tt looks unjust for the Il southern states. controlling PA votes in the convention and who never have an electoral vote, to be instructed" said he "There are 9S0 votes in the national and the vote of these II states one vote less than 20 per cent of the total vote. An instructed dele gation. therefore, from these states proves a great balance of power, and one which I think unjust.
 ."rhe delegation which the Davidson re- publicans will send will be composed of men favoring several candidates-eXcept Taft and each one vii! be opposed to him."

MUST HAVE CAN OR
 SUFFER PENALTY
MAYOR ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS TO GIVE NO FURTHER WARNINGS GARBAGE CANS ACCESSIBLE.

cers of the health and sanitary depart ments to issue no further warning with reference to householders providing themselves with garbage cans, but to make arrests wh erever they find that the cans have not been secured and placed in convenient place for the re- ception of garbage.
 The work of cleaning up in the Eighth and Ninth wards has been about completed, and the work in the Sixth and Seventh wards will be in- augurated next Monday. A nasty pro vision of cans by residents of these two wards is urged as advisable, if they would avoid being arrested for violating the health laws.
