S5O,OOO CAMPAIGN WORKERS REPORT Dr. Nelson Discusses Swat
 ting the Fly" DINNER BE TONIGHT Live Wire Affair" Takes Place To- night at Turn yerein and Plans
 Will Be Made for
 Spirit Week"
DINNER BE TONIGHT

A marked progress in the soliciting campaign for the s50,000 fund for the Chamber of Commerce was reported by the chairmen of the diffeernt commit tees at the regular weekly luncheon yesterday noon at the Gold Lion tea room. A number of substantial dona- tions were reported, among them be- ing $500 from the First National bank. A large number of the firms visited by the committees have headquarters in New York and it is necessary to secure advice from there fhefore a don alton can be made. About s270O was the total amount reported raised yes terday.
 Dr. Nelson Talks
 The feature of the luncheon yesterday was a talk by Dr. Robert Nelson of the. city health department on swat the Fly and Other Useful Hints for the Summer Season." pr. Nelson pointed out the danger of the spread of disease by house flies and strongly recommend ed a campaign toward minimizing the number of flies in the city. About 90 per cent of the flies are bred in horse stables" said pr. Nelson. There is city ordinance that says stables should be cleaned at least once week and we are trying to carry this or dinance out to the letter There are also in Birmingham about 5000 neces- sary dryS colests, an excellent breed ing place for the pest. The health de- partment is doing all in its power to keep these closets as sanitary as pos Sth1ea In tn on want to say that my power as city health officer only goes as far as sec ing that garbags cans are in place, are of adequate size and are used. It Is up to the street department to see that they are emptied. I think in time this phase will be eliminated and the health department will have entire charge of the matter"
 Dr. Nelson spoke at some length on the necessity of 'swatting the fly" and In conclusion said he thought it would be a good plan to have committee appointed from the Chamber of Com merce to work in conjunction with the health department and wage an active campaign toward eliminating the fly

Delegates Register

The council yesterday was busy during tho morning hours registering the dele gates and attending to the multitude of details that arise in such an assembly. The registration is unusually large and representative and it is believed the coun- cil will be the most successful ever held in this diocese.
 The bishop yesterday morning requested the delegates and clergymen not to leave the sessions without first having notified the chairman of their absence. He pointed out that the. delegates and clergymen were not individuals at the meeting but were representatives and therefore had no right to treat the sessions with one spark of Indifference. He said that whoever wished so to do could surely get leave of ab- sence from the sessions, but that it was imperative that the absentees remind the bishop of their desire to leave. Follow ing that several delegates and clergymen asked for formal leave of absence and it was given.
 At the afternoon session discussion came up which was prolonged for a con siderable length Of time about the ap- poirtment of commission on welfare work.
 Consider Lease System
 The affair started when the Rev. Wyatt Brown of Mobile introduced q resolution that the convict lease system be looked into. and if consistent the influence of the council be directed to the final elimi- notion of that question. The council was inclined to refer the matter 10 the regu- '@r committee when 1t was suggested tEat a commission to study that kind of ,as tions had been appointed, and it would be well to refer 1ne proposition to that body However, 1t was developed in the argument that the commission ep- pointed had as some of it's members other ttan those accredited to the council, and for that reason the matter shoulA 'e as.en to the council standing committee specifically appointed to handle such questions
 It was finally agreed to appoint the commission on welfare work from the members of the council and the resolution went 10 that committee It was strongly indicated in the debate. which followed that the entire clergy is alive 10 the very grevious conditions now existing rom tho convict and other systems. and that some consistent action will eventually be taken looking to their eradication.

interesting developments of the day
concerned the money market Here
call money loaned as high as 31a
per cent, the banks were again called
upon to make large shipments of gold
to Canada, institutions in the west
and south drew heavily on their New
York correspondents for crop moving
funds, and the forecasts of the bank
statement indicated a cash loss for
week estimated at from S6,000.000 to
SS,000,000. Time money rates were
advanced u per cent, the tone being
distinctly harder, the rise in call loan
rates making the banks disinclined to
tie up much money for long periods.
An incident of some Importance was
the sharp fall of 70 cent in foreign ex.
change rates in response to the high
er quotations for money here and the
lower discounts named in the London
market. Arrangements to finance
some large September payments caus-
ed rather general shifting of credits,
the operation being made theJmore in
teresting by the belated e/orts Of sew
| eral banks to strengthen their reserve
accounts. Unusual attention was given
to calculation of the chances of the
hank statement interest converging on
the loan item and the reserve showing.

Useful Accomplishments.

Every woman wants coy corner
all her own-be that corner humble
or handsome.
Every woman who does not have the
home longing is abnormal. Home is
made up of little things.
One of the largest of these little
things Is the ability to cook whole
some food
Sewing and music are next. A wom-
an might be as homely as can be, but
If she can cook good dinner, make q
dress, and let her moods slip out of
her finger tips on piano, that wom-
an will have a chance for truly hap
by home thousand per cent. better
than her beautiful neighbor who can
not make even an apron, and who
cooks badly for her family.
So say to mothers, whether you
have money or not, teach your daugh-
ters all the useful and necessary
things In life, SO that they will make
good, homelike wives and mothers.
