AUTOMOBILE HORNS
DISTURBING WORSHIP

81 do not happen to own an automo-
bile said Lee Morrow yesterday, land
for that reason am not educated In the
lows of blowing an automobile horn. The
people who keep up an incessant 'toot'
no doubt have ample excuse, for. every
man must let off his surplus enthusiasm
through some channel.
But was struck today with the fact
that on a fine Sunday, when the churches
are full of people, every automobile in
town seems to race around the blocks
where the churches are located with whis-
ties screaming, mufflers off and high
speed.
"They circle the block and come back
with another variation, in competition
with the pipe organ, and seem determined
to detract as much attention as possible
from the most eloquent of our preachers.
''If there were not SO many different
kinds of horns, the congregation might
become Injured to it, but no sooner has
a steam whistle passed than caliope, or
wildcat, or a siren chimes in with all
the noises of the menagerie.
''These limitations are all very interest
ing during the week, but during two hours
on Sunday they ought to be given rest.
Much of the noise Is made by chauffeurs
who have borrowed the cars for the morn
ing. 1t was not SO bad during the winter.
but now that the windows have to be
opened it is sometimes impossible to
hear"

ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS
MOVEMENT DISCUSSED

1T have seen one thing today which
should be of profound interest to every
class of Birmingham's population said
DR.. b. l.. Wyman, dean of the Birming-
ham Medical college. at was the begin
ming of the organized fight against tuber-
culosis. I believe the people of Greater
Birmingham are coming into fuller real
ization of the awful menace which the
great plague holds forth to the future
welfare of the city, and that an organ
lied movement will soon be started.
when we consider the money spent and
the precautions taken recently to prevent
an epidmic of smallpox in Birmingham,
we can have some idea of the need for
some such attention to the problem of tu-
berculosis, a disease which is infinitely
more dangerous and fatal, and the death
rate from which Is a score of times great
err than that from smallpox.
1--WE have the cooperation OF the
ella sses, the medical profession, the pulpit
and the press are united in the fight
against the plague. What we want and
intend to have is the cooperation and ir-
fiuence of the masses, whose interest 10
certainly the more vitality concerned. Ag-
itation must be kept up until sanatorium
is established in Birmingham for the tu-
berculous and every person Is educated
as to the cause and means of prevention
of the disease"

REVIVAL MEETS
WITH SUCCESS

The revival meetings now being hello
at the Bessemer Christian church under
the direction OF Evangelists Snively ant
Semiss are proving to be great success
At the meeting last night so persons were
taken into the church and Is others were
converted, 10 of the latter being men ant
boys. DR.. Snively is an exceedingly in.
teresting and logical public speaker and
his pleas to the people of the community
to come into the church and lead bette.
lives are having much effect
A large n } meeting will be held in the
High school auditorium today, and the
regular meeting will be held at the church
tonight. 1t was stated that the meetings
held yesterday afternoon and evening
were the largest and most successful OF
the series, and even greater success is
anticipated by the leaders of the church
before the meetings come to close. Tn.
thusiasm is constantly growing, and the
singing of Gospel Singer Semiss is prov.
ing great help to the revival.

QUIET ON EVE OF THE
PRIMARY ELECTION

Il have been impressed with the calm
that is preceding the primary election -
said M. A. Kirkland, proprietor of the
news and cigar stand at the Hillman. q
have never known quieter Sunday than
today has been. l do not think there is
any doubt about O'Neal winning, but the
Mallory people have been making a still
hunt, and they may poll a larger vote
than some of the estimates have allowed
them. My old home beat in Talladega
county-Beat No. 1O-will be carried for
O'Neal, but what especially surprises
me is that Sylacauga, which is Beat No.
IL, will give good majority for O'Neal.
This is surprising because Sylacauga was
an amendment stronghold"

INTERESTED TN WORK
OF E. P. BRICKNELL

1.-The visit of National Director Earn
est p Bricknell of the American Red
Cross society, to the Birmingham dis
| trict to investigate conditions at Mnlga
mine in connection with the recent disas-
ter renewed the great interest | have
always had in the life work of this great
philanthropic worker said Maurice
willows, superintendent of the Boys
Club and Childs Aid society of Birming-
ham yesterday.
II read the interview with Mr.. Brick
nell in The Age-Herald yesterday morn
ing with considerable interest and this
mans work was the leading theme of
the days thought
'Mr Bricnnel is perhaps the greatest
living, practical philanthropist or, more
strictly speaking, charity worker. After
graduating in journalism, which, by the
way gave him exceptional training for
his life work, he devoted his life and
energies to helping humanity.
For fifteen years he was superinten-
dent of the Bureau of Organized Chari-
ties In Chicago. He was raised from
that position to his present position as
national director of the American Red
Cross society. He Is considered one of
the best men in the work in the world
and Is often called upon to advise in
great questions that come up in other
countries and in problems Of interna-
tional practice.
During his life he has turned out
more practical charity workers than any
other man in the world, perhaps. There
are about 200 men il the United States
who are doing active charity work who
received their inspiration and instruc-
ton from Mr.. Bricknell. These men are
organized in what they call the Brick
nell Squad They hold annual meetings
and Mr.. Bricknell is always the guest
of honor when he Is able to attend
..Mr Bricknell received an invitation to
the annual meeting Of the 'Bricknell
SQUAD to be held in st. Louis while he
was in Birmingham

DEEPLY INTERESTED
WITH THE SERVICES

What most interested me was the beau
tiful ceremonial and the beautiful music
at st. PauPs Catholic church," said B.
b. Burton, manager of the Cable Paino
company, Il attended that church for
the first time. There was a pontifical
mass and large confirmation class
THE music was fine and although the
services were longer than usual I did
not grow the least tired. A pontifical
mass, that Is to say, a high mass at
which bishop Is celebrant, is at once
brilliant in color and profounding impress
sive. 1t is an august religious pageant
and having on this occasion seat near
the altar rail l was able to view all the
details of the ceremonial. The choir sang
Weber's celebrated mass in G. and sang
1t we'll 1t also sang the heavenly "Bene-
dictus," from Gounod's st. Cecilia mass"

didn't intend to shoot him. Lloyd and
this other niger and myself were at
soft drink stand when the trouble first
started. Stallings ordered a bottle of coca
cola and while the waiter was bringing
it he asked my friend If he was going
to pay for it. Lloyd said he was not and
after we had drunk the coco-cola Stallings
got mad and began to swear. He swore
that the Birmingham niggers were the
cheapest niggers on EARTH and said If
dldn IKE Ii he would back 1t up with
a razor. A
Lloyd and / went out of the place be-

Milton is charged with assault with
intent to murder. The two injured negroes

WANTS FIGHT BEGUN
AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS

Tuberculosis has interested me most
today said j. Asa Rountree last night.
1.-THE meeting just held at the Amuse-O
theatre at the instigation of the Kew.
George Eaves- in the interest of an or
ganized fight against tuberculosis means
to me the beginning of new epoch In
local health conditions.
IF the death rate from the plague in
the worst infected wards of New FORK city
has been cut down 40 per cent In the last
10 years through the advantages or an
organized movement, Birmingham's aver
age annual death rate of 300 can certainly
be diminished. If the 40 weekly news
napers in Jefferson county and three local
dailies will take the fight actively In hand
it is as good as won."

shown steady increase in business, and
during the last month we have done a

experience would indicateNt that Birming-
