About the Fountain

F. W. Darlington designer and
builder of the E. M. Waite memorial
fountain, has turned the magnificent
sparkler over to C. l.. McNary, of the
estate of the donor, Mrs. Waite. He
leaves for his home today and in 60
ing wishes to make a recommendation
for the running of the fountain, which
we believe, by reason of his expert
ence, is worthy of consideration by
the park committee. His recommend
alton is that on week days the dis
plays should last one-half hour from
S;45 to 9;15. On Saturdays and Sun
days he would have it run from $3.50
to and from 9:15 to GAS.

SOCIAL WORKERS
 FORM ORGANIZATION
Discussion Yesterday of Family
 Unity and Responsibility of Cities Involved

There was organized in this city two weeks ago the Association of Social Workers of Birmingham and yesterday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce the association met to complete the organization. The asso- citation includes 23 or more social workers representing many lines. The officers Of this organizatipn are; Will liam McGrath. president; Mrs M s, Cecil of the Young Woman's Christian association, vice president, and MT. Demitt. secretary
 There will be held twice each month every first and third Thursday-meet- ings of the association and any social worker or student is eligible to mem bership.
 Yesterday afternoon a particular in- stance of need consisting of the break down of a family physically and nor ally as well as financially came up. These people were made dependent upon the TAssociated Charities, the Childrens Aid society, the Juvenile court and the Anti Tuberculosis asso- citation. The problem involved the dis cussion of the right to break up fam fly unity, the necessity of protecting the communities and the division of re- sponsibility between the city of tenn porary residence and the city of the origin of the family involved. Those taking part in the discussion Included Miss Loomis Logan, Judge Murphy, Miss Sandford, MT. McGrath and Dr. Eaves.
 The problem of family unity will be taken up again later. The organiza- 4ion of this association is considered one of the greatest achievements for the eauipping of social workers in Bir- mingham.

SMITH IS TAKEN TOAHANTAP PRISON Rigid Investigation Being Made of Anniston
 Postoffice

Anniston, November 21.-(Special.) )-1She investigation into the affairs of the An niston postoffice is still under way in an age of Maj. D. Houston Smith. assistant postmaster, who is charged with having embedded se652 of the postoffice money order funds over which he had charge Major Smith was bonded in the sum of $500 and confessed to shortage of ap- proximatefy 5000. It is said that he tried to keep within his bond, and In his state ment in court Wednesday he said that he did not believe his shortage would be as large as was estimated by the grand jury.
 Major Smith was confined in the federal prison at Atlanta Wednesday evening, having been taken over by Deputy Bass. He will be No. 42S2 in the penitentiary, according to the officers and will have to serve over three years, deductions be- ing made from the five year sentence on account of good behavior.
 Owing to the fact that there has been so much trouble in the Anniston postof- flee, beginning with the alleged misappro- pria tion of funds by Postmaster Lee in 1898. the investigation which is now under was is being made thorough. Every de- partment of the service here is being checked up. Wednesday afternoon the station at Oxford underwent investiga- tion, and in turn all the sub-stations in this city have been prooed, in addition to the various departments in the main of flee.
 How such a big shortage could be pos sible has caused considerable speculation here, and insistent demands are being made on the inspectors to thoroughly in Vestgate.

UNDERWOODS BUY WASHINGTON HOME  Property Left by Late Major
 A, ". Butt - WANT TO KEEP HOUSE Agreement Made Last Summer by Mrs. Underwood But Courts Had
 to Pass on Property of
 Titanic Victim Q 
WANT TO KEEP HOUSE

MT and Mrs oscar ". Underwood are about to acquire a home of their own I in Washington due to their desire to keep house in the national capital. Mrs Underwood has for some time had under way negotiations for the purchase of the residence of the late Major Archibald Willingham Butt located at the corner of G and Twentieth street, northwest. Agreement was made by her to take the house last summer and the Under woods have had carpenters, electricians and paper hangers at work although the formal transfer of the title has not yet been completed
 The delay was caused by the fact that the courts of the District of Columbia had to pass on the title and certain period of time had to elapse in which to establish legally the death of Major Butt.
 Another cause of delay in transferring the title arose from the fact that Major Butt left his property to the heirs of his two brothers, one of whom is a daughter of Mir and Mrs. Edward H. Butt of Liver pool and she had to make trip to America.
 Mr and Mrs Underwood expect to get into the house some time between Decem- Der 1 and Christmas, or as soon as the lawyers can thoroughly establish the title
 The house stands on d corper near the state, war and navy department building and is quite a massive structure of three stories and basement and has F or 14 large rooms. Major Butt had owned it for about two years prior to his death and he and the artist. Millet, both of whom went down on the Titanic, and Major Blanton Winship, U. S. A, for merly of Macon, Ga, occupied the home as bachelor quarters.
 When we go to Washington said Mir Underwood last night, I've will go to the Grafton hotel where rooms have been engaged and will remain there until we can go to housekeeping in our own home Of course. we will retain our Bir- mingham home."
 Mr and Mrs. Underwood will leave for Washington Saturday afternoon.
