that it is of steel construction, and

you CANNOT SPIT TT BACK INTO
THE TANK. Around the sides are
ample cuspidors built in for that
purpose. EVERY FACILITY rs
USED TO KEEP THE WATER
PURE AND CLEAN AS POSSIBLE.
The modern tank has installed
with it a large filter connected up
with a pump by electricity. This
pump, when in action, draws the
water from the tank into the filter
and In this way the water is kept
pure a long time. This has been
determined through CHEMICAL
TESTS.
The operating expense is not
large and is usually much cheaper
than operating in the old way, fill
ing and heating the water two or
three times a week, besides it is
more sanitary.
Outside of the pleasure of the
swimming tank 1t permits of an

considered as a fine opportunity to

know how to swim. We are told
that the average cost of a boy elgh-
teen years old is $1,000. Parents
shrink from placing q commercial
value upon their children and not
on this basis alone was 1t consider

Association when it started the CAM

The association pools were opened
and in many schools pupils who
could not swim were compelled to
take swimming lessons as n of

Most Telling Speech In Behalf of Democracy Ever Heard In Walker Delivered At Jasper YesterdayDeclares Wilson Altogether Worthy to Be Standard Bearer of Demo crats-Predicts Wilson Victory-Repubicans
 Listen With Keen Interest to Speech

Jasper, October 1.--(Special.) )-The most telling speech in behalf of the principles of democracy ever heard in Walker coun- ty was delivered today by Congressman Oscar W. Underwood in the circuit court room to large and attentive audience of men and women.
 Many republicans were present and l!s- tened with keen interest to his clear and discriminating portrayal of the faults of the republican party, and 1t is believed that his speech will have good results in causing many of them to break forever with the principles which the speaker showed was against what mankind was contending for.
 MT. Underwood came to Jasper at g Jr.. who carried him to his office, where many countrymen and citizens of Jas per went to meet him.
 The hot sunshine streaming down in front of the courthouse at the hour ap- pointed for the speaking forced them to move into the court room. After music by the band and the court room had been filled with people, R. A. Cooner, chair man of the Wilson Marshall club pre- scented the visitors to the people with a few very appropriate words.
 MT. Underwood made use of the oppor- tunity at the beginning of his speech to thank his personal friends and others for their loyal support for him during
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-02

the recent campaign, stating that they had made gallant fight.
 He spoke with good deal of feeling when he referred to the senior senator of Alabama. Senator J H. Bankhec1, and his great admiration for him. Sen ator Bankhead was away today in Wash ington on campaign business.
 Mir Underwood declared that the can didate the party selected was altogether worthy to be the standard bearer of the democrats and was worthy of the support of every citizen who wanted better gev- ernment
 Much time was spent in denouncing the third termer and the bull moose policies. The speaker said, ins effect, that the standard bearer of the bull moose party was the offspring of the republican party, and that as it's standard bearer he was now cursing the mother that gave him political birth. He also showed that pro gressive,'' as interpreted by the new party was nothing more than 8 name to fool the people who wanted a change. that the people had been progressive from the time of Adam until this day.
 There was no bitter nor abusive lan- guage used throughout the entire speech of more than an hour and half, but 1t was uniuue and logical and clear from first to last.
 It Is believed that it was the very thing all the dissatisfied voters of thc new party needed and that many of them in this section will now turn to democ- racy as the party of hope. having seen the nothingness of the third party.
 MT, Underwood said Governor Wilson was sure to be elected next November and that the bull moose party would not live to see another presidential cleo tion.
