LETTERS TO EDITOR
Dr. DOzier on Lanes Stand

.o the Editor of The Age-H Herald N, Having read in today's Age Herald tho 1T of MT. Ford and the comments of
 4 A. o. Lane anent the electric light
 ,on, heartily appreciate the posi-
 aken by Judge Lane. certainly
 ywith him in regards to Birmingham
 sg and operating her own lighting
 And in view of the attitude of the
 gham Waterworks company in re-
 f the ordinance of our commissioners
 ling the price of water, and in their
 lfest shylock determination of adher-
 to their preesnt exorbltant rates, I h heartily in favor of the necessary steps being taken immediately for a city owned water plant, and in order to be as fair to the present water company as they have ever been to the peopie | want the rity to not only build a water plant but to lay every needed main and pipe, and As soon as this can be done and the pres nnt contract with the Waterworks com pany terminated l would have the city give to the Birmingham Waterworks com- pany not less than 90 days to take up and remove their every line of pipe and everything in the way of fixtures from tue incorporated libits of the city, for mum ripai owned plant we must eventually ihaye.
 The present source of supply is not the best, and will inevitably become worse. Lifted water must always be expensive, we should. therefore, select a source Nrom which we could obtain water by Aravity. not by pumping. Much of the Nesent used water mains are now old pAd inadequate to stand sufficient pres suN
 F'Ar these and other reasons of santa fionA economy and the public veal, I itln Tor hle clean cut policy of brand new but ahd out waterworks system for Bir- minehAm Am I right? I believe gen tial referendum would say yes.

The schools in Phe- nix City and North Girard have been very greatly affected, some of the grades in both schools having been temporarily reduced to almost nothing The disease so far has proved to be of a mild type and it is hoped with good weather it will soon be stamped out entirely.
 Phenix City board of education an- nounces that m addition will be made to their school within the vacation this year, The improvement is very much needed too, the grades all having been too full this year, some of the rooms registering as high as so pupils.
 Capt. w. s. Bryant, one of the best known men in this section of Alabama. announced yesterday his candidacy for the office of tax collector to succeed w.. M. Bass. the incumbent, The popularity of both men indicates that this will be one of the warmest contests that Lee county has had for some time.

PARTYOF RICHMOND CAPITALISTS LEAVE Fred Scott Has Faith in
 Oscar Underwood PRAISES BIRMINGHAM Scott Brothers of Richmond and Iry- ing Adams of Baltimore Return
 Home After Inspecting
 Their Local Interests
PRAISES BIRMINGHAM

Fred w Scott Thomas R. Scott ana George Cole Scott of Richmond. and Irving Adams of Baltimore, after spend ing nearly a week here left last night by the Louisville and Nashville. They will stop few hours in Louisville and then proceed to Virginia. The Scotts are sons of the late Fred R. Scott cap italist, and nephews of John P. Branch, Richmonds milllonaire banker They, with other Virginia capitalists, have large interests with Frank Nelson, Jr. in the Bryan Coal corporation in Walker county.
 Fred Scott, the older of the three brothers. is a banker and a prominent man of affairs, being large stock holder and a director of the Atlantic Coast Line. He is an ardent admirer of oscar w. Underwood and thinks he has an excellent chance for the demo- cratic nomination. "I do not believe the people of Birmin gham realize fully what a prominent national figure Un derwood has become" said he. 'l am in New York frequently and l hear representative flnanciers say that Un- derwood would make most excellent President. He is certainly strong in the east; strong, too, with little or no systematic organization in his behalf. A, reasonable effort at organization in the next few weeks should result in a large number of delegates going to the national convention as Underwood men, l am of the opinion that if Woodrow Wilson is not nominated on 1a1 lnt TnH wi n easily"
 Inspects District
 During his visit here MT. Scott has seen good deal of the district. in cluding many of the plans of the Ten nessee company He s-.id that he had known the Tennessee company was de- velopng its vast properties on scale of great magnitude, but that he had no idea how extensive the development had been until he saw with his own eyes.
 The people of Richmond" said Mir. Scott, are proud of the healthy and splendid growth of Birmingham, and in its forward march of commerce and wealth, notwithstanding the fact that in the last decade th:1 city has passed us in population. But we can console ourselves by explaining that Richmond is more compactly built It has 10 square miles of territory and Birming ham has 90. The there's se of population Is not the most str'-s.ng feature of Birnin gham. however. but rather the splendid business genus of the cap tains of industry and finance and the wonderful industrial piants that are now attracting the attention of com merce and the owners of our great southern railroad systems.

VALUE OF OBSERVATION
Was Theme Of President Weld's Adj
dress to Summer School Students
at Normal This Morning,

Cultivate the Habit Of Observation
was the theme of an interesting and
very enthusiastic address delivered by
President Weld during the chapel hour
exercises at the normal school this
morning. 1t was one OF those intense
ly interesting offhand talks so charac-
ter4stic of Mr.. Weld, who himself is a
demonstration that In his goings and
connings he has his eyes open for all
that is good about him-not all of the
big things.
Mr.. Weld told his hearers that he
was just back from a business visit
to the cities; that while in Minneapolis
he wandered into one of the big picture
stores; that while admiring the differ
emit pictures he paused in front of one,
King Charles I After the Battle of
Marsden Moor, a painting in which
there was so much to see with intelli-
gent observation and so much to learn
by close examination Of the different
details. The speaker explained the
picture and what the artist sought to
teach. He urged the cultivation OF the
habit of general observation as a
means to encouraging the initiative in
the affairs OF Life and particularly the
little things about us, especially so was
1T applicable to nature. 1t is deplor-
able that SO much is missed in this
world because people do not observe.

by drowning several days ago.
The little girl was playing out
in the yard but a short distance
from where members of the family
were sitting on the veranda. Upon
looking in the direction of the child
1t was discovered that the little
girl had fallen head-hrst into a pail
which contained about SIX inches
Of water. Upon being extricated it
was found that she was drowned.
All efforts to revive her were futile.
There was barely enough water in
the pail to cover the chiId's face.
1t Is believed, however, that in fall
ing into the pail the child was
either slightly stunned or that its
little arms became pinioned and
that it slowly drowned

about seven miles north of the city.

No trace of the unknown men who
hired the boat from Mr.. Axel can be

inasmuch as they carried considerable
money, were using this means OF maxi

Chickens Head on Tare Beam.

Commissioners Neale Of the depart
ment Of weights and measures in
Minnesota. has unearthed another
method Of cheating the public, thus
adding to the cost of one of the high
est priced foods-chickens.
In the shop of a retail meat dealer
he noticed that a clerk placed the
head Of a chicken he was weighing on
the tare beam, thus increasing the
chickens weight hree-quarters Of a
pound.
Mr.. Neale says most meat shops are
equipped with fat scale pans. and that
with these the chance of twisting the
head OF the chicken on the tare beam
is not so great.
The commissioner says he will
prosecute dealers for the practice.
