FORMER SUPERINTENDENT OF
PARKS GIVES SOME ADVICE

dent fact that cities or parks are not
built in a day nor a year. 1t will take
Time patience and ingenuity.
THE greatest help in this work is to
CT cate the park habit by beginning now
TO develop some one or two parks owned
by the city. Let us take one tract or an
other. lay it off to a permanent plan,
follow tho contour OF the land, preserve
and spare the shade, the hills, the val
leys, springs and virgin timber 1t will
not cost much to follow this idea. This,
once begun can be accomplished rapidly
by installing with a view Of permanency,
the geological collection. Thus an elk
park, a deer run on some natural SLOPE
a bear pit, in a natural hill or rockery
q wolf den, in a cosy corner; a monkey
house. placed advantageously in a neat
but permanent quarters; an aviary Of
rare birds, commodiously arranged;
these, with beautifully laid off winding
paths and drives, leading from one TO
another, would make a most beautiful
park.
Then, In this same connection, place
centrally a playground for the children.
How many a little one thai might be
made happy by this little playground,
which would uplift its little thoughts,
making 1t a greater man or woman. IL
sounds foolish when | say In my varied
experiences that actually / have found
l.ehidren that had to be taught to play,
they being crowded in congested quar-
ters and probably worn out by the cares
of the younger children or working in
some capacity or other. trying to keep
soul and body together. This alone
should appeal TO the most bitter enemy
of parks.
I'm building up Fairgrounds and a zoo,
public support is necessary The park
management will accept donations more
gracefully than the humblest beggar
Each donation TO this cause will remain
as a monument to the donor"

SEVEN MINERS
KILLED IN JULY

State Mine Inspector C. II. Nesbitt has
statistics on file at his office showing
that there were six white men and one
negro Killed in mine accidents in Ala
bama during the month of July Eleven
orphans and four widows were left by the
accidents.
Mr.. Nesbit. has not completed his report
for the amount of coal mined during the
month on account of the fact that several
mines have failed to send in their re-
ports. An estimate of the amount of coal
mined during the past six months places
the figures at about 100000 tons. a de-
cided increase over last year when the
years output was 100000 tons.
With large majority of the mines in
the state in good working order, Mr.
Nesbrt believes that this years output
will be aArecord breaker

John Lambert now a resident of this
city. but formerly superintendent of
parks for Chattanooga and who is held to
be an expert on park work, gave out a
statement yesterday in reference to what
Birmingham should do in connection with
the park movement.
Mr. I.amberts statement follows:
I'VE are living in a progressive age,
at which time all cities of any eonse-
ouence must and should make forward
strides. An unprogressNe city is like an
unprogressive merchant In the little store
around the corner.
"Birmingham's opportunities now are
great for | know of no city in the lane
that has a brighter future than she.
After having lived almost In all four
quarters OF this continent, l would not
swap Blrmingham's chances for any l
have seen. commercially or otherwise.
Now come the parks, necessity and
an asset of inestimable value to a com
munity. To perfect this undertaking one
must begin right. The city can spend
little money modestly and make wonder
full strides. First, a comprehensive plan,
Including Greater Birmingham, then to
! begin work Immediately upon some of
the most available plots or tracts we now
own Let each dollar spent show some
thing permanent in the way of improve
ments Let every lick struck be a stroke
in the right place Thus, by beginning
now upon what park property we have,
while more elaborate plans are under
way, and make showing. the enthusiasm
will keen up and references made to the
accomplishments thus made will be a
leverage for more liberal support all
along the line, for we will need all the
cooperation we can get 1t is an evil

Friday. The local committee who are
in charge of the arrangements were noti-
fed Sunday that the speaker of the day

To make the event one of note in the
annals of the state association, there
will be several of the national officers in
attendance, among whom are f. j. Con.
nors of Boston, national treasurer, and
