WORK ON PLANS FOR
 CH|LD'S HOSPITAL Holy InnOcents' Institution
 on Red Mountain BADLY NEEDED HERE
Promoters Will Ask Charitably In- clined to Do What They Can to Relieve Sufferings of the
 Helpless Children

The directors of the Holy Innocents hospital for the treatment of the dis cases of children have decided to To- cate the hospital on Red mountain at 3 point close to the city and facing the county road.
 The hospital association has secured two and half acres at this point and will erect a temporary hospital i on this desirable site, which will have special reference to it's adaptabillty Tor the treatment of children's diseases. The institution will be modern in eV- cry detail, with fresh air, good water and sunshine in abundance, and the site is considered by the promoters as most desirable.
 The plans show a feature that Is not only practical but necessity for the proper treatment of contagious dis eases, that is. outlying wards to the rear of the main builasng.
 The promoters of the hospital will hold a meeting next Monday afternoon at which the final plans and arrange ments will be made.
 The hospital is designed to fill long
  ent hospitals are crowded and not spe- cially adapted for the treatment of the malignant diseases of childhood. It IS authoritatively stated that Birmingham is the only city of it's size that has not such an institution. The prof ect has the hearty indorsement Of tht medical fraternity who know the ab- soIute need of such an institution.
 The promoters are asking the people Of Birmingham to help build the hos pital, so that diseaseo. mamed, sui fering and helpless childhood may have the benefit of expert medical treatment and the attention of specially trained nurses. They ask the chatltably inclined tC give of their means to help some mother who cannot afford special treat ment for her suffering child. one of the promoters stated that while Bir- mngham has many noble charities, none of them signify more than the childrens hospital. which is designed to put health into the lives Of little children and hope into the hearts oi their mothers.

PHONE CD. ID CEASE ON MAY 1. Will Make No Collections
 Beyond That Date MIR. TURNBULL TALKS Reiterates His Previous Statement That He Believes One Telephone
 Service Best for Any
 Community
MIR. TURNBULL TALKS

It is understood that plans will be out lined by the management of the Peoples Telephone company to cease operations no later than May l. In any event. 1t is stated that the Peoples company will make no collections for service over the company lines after that time. It is considered almost certain that by May 1 all details for the ending of the service will have been perfected.
 It is understood that the Bell Telephone company will furnish service to all Peo- ples Telephone company contract holders at the same rate that Is now being charged for the same service until the contracts expire, when the rate now charged by the Bell company will be put into effect
 r. is generally understood that the Bell Telephone company will after the Peo- ples stops work acquire the physical hold ines of the latter company Until actual service is stopped the Bell cannot buy the Peoples company interest. In that re- gard the officials are not willing, to talk. However. h. F. Turnbull, local manager for the Bell company, said yesterday: T have nothing 10 d"u lo my ipiit"i 0f"ts ment given out several months ago which was to the effect that the Bell com pany believed that one telephone service was the best for any community. In the event that the Peoples service is discon- tinued the Bell service will be at the com mand of the citizens of Birmingham, and every endeavor will be made to give tto,, saffsfscfory service promptly and ccurteously So far the Bel company has nothing to do with the discontinuance of the Peoples service, but there could be no harm that l can see in the Bell com pany at some future time securing the physical holdings of an inactive tele- phone operation

 Held Weekly

l The first of the Wednesday noon luncheons arranged by President Sib- ley of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday at the Gold Lion tea room and the men in charge were more than pleased with the excellent attendance. About To business men of the city were present at the luncheon and the enthusi- asm and interest in the remarks of the different speakers was intense. At the conclusion of the last course, President Sibley called the meeting to order and introduced J. l.. Kaul of the Kaul Lumber company and chairman of the courthouse and jail committee of the Chamber of Commerce. MT. Raul said | that he believed it was the general opin- ion that new jail was a necessity.
 What we must do to get a new jail is to first make sure in our own minds exactly how we are going about it," he said. We must decide where we are going to build, and whether the city and county are going to combine in the ven- ture. We must submit plans to the peo- pie and have a definite plan before we get what we want.
 The city would be greatly benefited by |
 removing from it's present location. The increased value of real estate would mean profit of about s25o,o00

 "The time is ripe for Birmingham tc establish such a civic center placing al

 the city, but it would be economical foi
 the city, county and federal govern. ments."
 Judge Howze, president of the Bar as- sociation, made the principal address oi the meeting and pointed out the crying need of the county for new jail and i courthouse. 'lnasmuch as the state in- l spector has recently said that new Jail | is a necessity and owing to the poor con dition of the present jail it is to the interests or humanity ana JuStlce lhat We push this matter 10 an end" said Judge Howze.
 Sidney Bowie and Cupepper EXum both made five minute talks and heartily indorsed the action taken for the new buildings, as much for the city as for the county
 Chairman Raul and his committee on the new courthouse and jail will begin active work to promulgate a campaign at once.
