THE AUTO DEALERS
 PREPAREFOR SHOW
Plans Progressing for Big Aviation and Automobile
 Races This Spring

Checks have been received by the Bus mess Mems league from the various mem bers of the Automobile Dealers associa- ton of Birmingham for their pro rata share of the expenses of the auto show to be held at the fair grounds April to 13 in connection with the aviation meet and auto races. The expenses of the auto show, not including the cash and other prizes. will approximate 5000, which is being divided between the various deal- CTS of the city under whose auspices the show will be held. This pays for the rent of the buildings, the necessary re- pairs. the lighting, heating, etc.
 In addition to these expenses there will be large cash prizes, cups and medals of fered by those interested in promoting the event, and there is keen rivalry amongst the various dealers. More than 50 makes of cars will be shown by the local dealers. and if space permits out siders will be granted the privilege of showing.
 In the meantime plans for the great aviation meet are progressing rapidly. and the various committees of the Busl- ness Mems league are actively engaged in the sale of tickets to the merchants and business men of the city. The con- mittees were actively engaged in the sale of tickets all last week. and they ex- pect to complete the work this week. A meeting of the chairmen of the commit tees will be called for one day early this week, and reports will be received from them. It Is anticipated that the reports will show about 10000 tickets sold, which amounts to s5000 of the necessary s10,000 as an advance fund.
 There will be racing machines, passen- ger carrying machines and pleasure craft at the meet the Berger Aviation company having more than a dozen different air ships for the use of the eight men who will come here. Passenger carrying will be feature of the meet, and Sol Caheen, one of the most prominent merchants of the city, will make the initial trip in Bir- mingham. which will be the first pas senger carrying stunt in the south. There are already 10 applicants for the privi- lege of making a flight, and one of these is from prominent society woman of Birmingham.
 One of the interesting stunts will be the bomb throwing contests engaged in by the various aviators. This will illus trate how the airship is expected to rev. olutionize modern warfare by the dropping of bombs of high explosive on ships and camps of the enemy.
 Several of the greatest auto racing men and machines in the world will be brought here. The races will be arranged be- tween the airship events, so that a con tnuous performance is offered. There will be large cash prizes offered. as much as 5000 on each race, which will be suf- f1cent to bring the best racers to Bir- mngham. It seems now probable that Barney Oldfeld will be one of the racers with his new 200 horsepower car.

ATLANTIC COAST
 LINE PAYS $5OOO Sum Represents Penalty for Failure to Comply With
 State Laws

Montgomery March 4.-(SpeciaL)- The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad com pany today paid to State Treasurer John. Purifoy $5000, this amount rep resenting the penalty for failure to comply with the laws of Alabama, and the assessment for qualifying as for eign corporation to do business in this state. The Coast Line railroad quail fled with the secretary of state through Judge John R. Tyson, counsel for the road, who paid the money to the treas Arer.
 The penalty fixed by the board of compromise for failure to comply with the laws of Alabama, in reference to designating it's principal place of busi- ness in this state and it's authorized agent was s1756.46 The qualifying as- sessment was $324S.54. making a total of 5000.
 The Atlantic Coast Line railroad in fl- ing it's articles of incorporation with the secretary of state. designates Montgom- cry as its principal place of business in this state, with w. T. Savage as its au- thorized agent The Coast Line railroad was incorporated under the laws of Ver- ginia, the principal offices Of the com- pany being at Wilmington, N. c.
 The payment of the penalty for failure to qualify and the qualifying assessment. is the result of a campaign which. Gov ernor 0'Neai has been conducting for sew eral weeks against foreign corporations that have not compiled with the laws of tn, state.
 The governor some time ago appointed Daniel ". Troy of this city as special council to assist the state in forcing for eign corporations to qualify with the sec retary of state to do business in Alabama It was learned through the efforts of Mr. Troy that the Atlantic Coast Line rail- road had not qualified and a conference was immediately held between state offl- cials and officials of the road.
 At this conference the defendant rail- road declared that it was not cognizant Of having failed to comply with the laws of the state. maintaining that 1t was doing business in Alabama as a domestic cor poraton. An agreement was then reached between the state and railroad company by which the latter promised to pay the penalty fixed and to immediately qualify 10 do business in Alabama as a foreign corporation.

OCTOBER nth IS
TUBERCULOSIS DAY
Local Churches and Relig-
ious Societies Urged to
Observe Day.

Churches and religious societies in
this city will be urged TO give special
attention to the prevention of tubercu-
losis on Sunday, October 27th, or on
some day during the week preceding
or the week following tnat date. This
season has been set apart and desis-
mated as the Third National Tubercu-
losis Day by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of 1u-
berculosis, which makes this an
nouncement today.
tuberculosis Day was originally set
on April 2sth, but was postponed be-
cause OF a conflict with Conservation
Sunday of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, which was held on
that date. The observance of Tubercu-
utilized by anti-tuberculosis workers
not only for the general education of
churchgoers on consumption. but also
for the purpose of interesting them in
the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals
Every one of the 900 and more anti
tuberculosis associations allied with
the National Association will be urged
to promote tuberculosis Day in their
respective communities. While last
year over $4,000 churches observed
this occasion, it is expected this year
that this number will be doubled. Mil
lions of circulars and other forms of
literature will be distributed. The sup
port of every religious denomination
will be asked for.
That tuberculosis is a serious prob
lem among church congregations is
evidenced by statistics which the Ma
tional Association gathered last year,
which show that 10 per cent. of all
deaths among church members are
caused by tuberculosis. Based on these
figures and on the mortality statistics
of the Census Bureau, over $4,000 of
the 100000 communicates in chur-
ches in the United States de from tll-
berculosis every year. This figure as
sumes that the death rate of 160 per
1000 population in the Registration
Area applies to all churchgoers, when
as a matter of fact, the rate would
probably be higher.
