anyone who could have seen the body of men gathered at headquarters today and the interest that they displayed would have had no hesitation in saying that Birmingham Is going to do this job"
 w. M Cosby. vice president of the Y. M c. A, and who contributed $12600 to the building fund. said:
 '~rhe reports were excellent. I look for steady progress throughout the campaign. The magnificent way the captains were supported by their men today, and the splendid total for the teams are sure in dication that the campaign is bound to succeed. The meeting was a most inspir- ing one, but I believe that the meetings next week will be decidedly better"
 J. P. Stubbs, general secretary of the Birmingham Y. M. c. A., said:
 '"The attendance of the members of the committees was one of the most encour- aging features of the meeting. It shows that the chairmen are going to be loy- ally supported by their lieutenants, and that good reports may be expected every day. The meeting was most satisfactory and augurs well for those that are to fol- low. With the continued efforts of the representative business men, who have in- terested themselves in this movement. there ought to be no doubt about a great victory on the night of January 2s."

LANDSCAPE MAN
 TALKS OF CITY
GEORGE H. MILLER SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR SOUTH AND THINKS BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT WILL LEAD.

George H. Miller. prominent landscape connection with the plans for Corey, the model industrial city. which will be built adjoining the recently acquired property of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, on which will be located the plants of the subsidiary corporations of the United States Steel corporation.
 MT. Miller has devoted his life to the study of improved conditions for the workingman, and several years of that time were spent in Pfttsburg, so that he is thoroughly acquainted with the needs and demands of an industrial center like Birmingham and Pittsburg. In speaking of the south, he said:
 The industrial awakening of the south is at hand. The Carolinas, Georgia and Texas are on the eve of q great future, for the past four months have seen the chartering of many large cotton mills with capital running into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
 ''But all this doesn't compare with the prospects of Alabama, and especially that section of Alabama known as the Bir- mingham district. which means the min eral region of the state. You are now lay ing plans for greater labor supply, which means the greater development of for the laboring man, and what you need is an influx of laborers. which I believe is coming. Compare the Birmingham dis trict and the New England states. They have no natural resources there, nothing in fact except efficiency of the labor sup ply.
 No one. no matter what . vivid imas- ination he may have. can conceive the future of this section of the United States. There has never been such opportunity for development anywhere else, with so much scientific material at hand on which to base calculations for the future well fare of a community.
 This city must build for the future, must plan to take care of hundreds of thousands where she now has tens of thousands. Therefore, 1t seems a pity to me that there cannot be some govern ment supervision of the laying out and developing of the territory inside Greater Birmingham and just outside. This would make the ideal city. But such is hardly possible, and therefore the future devel- opment falls into the hands of private citizens
 "It Is fortunate for Birmingham that there will be such city as Corey. This town can be made the nucleus of devol- opment which will be in keeping with twentieth century ideals, and 1t will be . lesson to the entire south I believe that from Corey will emanate a movement looking to the betterment of the condi- tions of the workingmen which will af- feet all the southern industrial communi- ties.
 Corey lies beautifully for ideal devel- opment along hygienic and sanitary lines. with residence sections of different prices and a good business district. It will be the first model industrial city of the south, and from what know of the plans will be the most modern in the country"
