of Service

Mrs Helen Walpole, Travellers Aid

has resigned her position after six
years of uninterrupted service The de-
cision of Mrs. Walpole to relinquish her
deepest regret by members of the
board of control, Station Master Gift
and innumerable railroad men who had
known Mrs. Walpo1e since her connec-
tion with the terminal
During her service Mrs. WalpoI has
rendered to the poor and the distracted
as well as the innocent that kind of
service that cannot be secured except
from such unselfish sources. To those
tempted at the station she has always
been source of protection. To the
poor and the aged Mrs. Walpole has
rendered aid in times of need that has
endeared her to host of persons that
may not know her name.
The big Terminal station statisticians
have figured out that more real an
guish may be witnessed there than at
any place in large city. They have
also figured that more girls are tempt
ed upon their immediate arrival in
cities than elsewhere. 1t was to the
sorrowing and to the unprotected that
Mrs. Walpole rendered the greatest
service. The passing of Mrs Walpole
from that work with which she was
so thoroughly acquainted will be re-
ceived in local circles with much re-
gret.

On account of the serious injury of
Crawford Bryant, the 250O mile motorcycle
trip planned by William H. Kettig, Jr
and his injured friend, has been termi-
mated at Chicago. Mr.. Kettig, who was
accompanying young Bryant from Law

2500 miles, returned home yesterday with
his father, Maj. w. H. Kettig of this city.
The two school boys started to ride from
Lawrenceville to ST. Paul through the
country on motorcycles. They went as
far as Wauseon, o.. where young Bryant
was seriously injured. AS 1t was, they
rode 1900 miles on their machines. Mr..
Kettig, who came home after nursing and
attending his friends bedside several
days, intensely regrets the end to their
vacation trip.
The two riders were approaching the
small Ohio city when the machine of
Bryant became unmangeable, throwing
the rider to the ground. The youngster
from ST. Paul was badly bruised and
lacerated. When he rode up to his pros

FLAG |SFLY|NG FROM
THE HIGHEST POINT
ON NEW SKYSCRAPER
Business Men Will Be Guests
of Enslen Tomorrow
Afternoon at 2:30
O'Clock

The American flag foated from the
highest point in the south yesterday
when it was unfurled on top of the new
jefferson County Savings bank build
ing The flag was attached to shaft
of steel which was set on the south
east corner of the building denoting
the highest point of the new 25 story
building. The flag as 1t was placed yes
terday was directly in the center of the
building hanging from the girders. The
men stopped work promptly when the
flag was tied to the beam. The flag
floating over the building yesterday
was the occasion for much comment
and unusual craining of necks. Al
though the flag yesterday was higher
than it will be when set formally 1t
was none the less interesting from that
point
By noon tomorrow morning Old Glory
will wave from the highest permanent
point on the newest skyscraper, for by
that hour the roof line of the Jefferson
county rs story skyscraper will have
been reached and the flag as a signal
of that achievement will be unfurled
1t was announced yesterday posi-
lively by e. F. Enslen. president, that
there would be formalities in connec-
tion with the placing of the highest
piece of steel on the building. The busi-
ness men of Birmingham have been in
vited to be the guests of Mr. Enslen to-
morrow at 2:30 o'clock to CONNIE emorate
the event. There will be short talks by
Mr.. Enslen, who is building the high
est structure in the south; by w. P. e.
Harding, president of the Chamber of
Commerce; Judge e. X. Campbell, chief
justice of the court of claims; Capt
Frank S. White, Maj williams Wes-
ton, architect of the building, and 9th
ers. The speeches will all be short.
whereupon there will be an informal
| inspection of the newest building in
Birmingham as it has progressed this
far.
The announcement was made yester-
! day that the steel to be placed tomor-
row Will not be the highest point on
the building. Because 1t is said the
roof garden will be even higher than
the roof line of the 25 story building.
On account of the fact that there is
| unusual interest in the building of the
| highest structure in the south 1t is be-
lieved that a crowd will be the guests
of Mr. Ensen tomorrow. The formali-
| ties viii take place In the space which
will be occupied by the banking rooms
of the new building.
| Mr.. Enslen and the employees of the
bank as we'll as others will act as
hosts.
In connection with the new building z
Mr.. Enslen said il y be ready for
tenants October l next.

SURVEYS MADE FOR

Meeting Fairfield with Birmingham,
primarily to get people from that Sec
tion TO Birmingham more quickly than
at present and also to avoid operating
Fairfield cars to Ensley for transfer
purposes.
The line. 1t is said. will involve the
construction of about one mile and
half of new tracks south of Fairfield to
a point near Martins station on the
Bessemer double track line The sta
tion to be approached is about three
stations below Fairview. The new line,
it is said. will be constructed through
the properties of the negro college in
that section directly south of Fair
field.
1t will cross the Tidewater tracks.
which run east and west at a point
near the south edge of the present
Fairfield properties. The new line, it
is said, will cut off considerable dis
tance between Fairfield and Birming-
ham, with connections to the other
prominent points of the city.
The company is yet unwilling to
make any announcement as to the new
lines, but it is understood that the
work will soon start. The new line
will avoid operations to Ensley for
Birmingham bound passengers. They

picked up Bryant. placed him on the

on the train, but finished the 200 mile lap

When he reached Chicago he found his
father, Major Kettig OF Birmingham at

to st. Paul ended at the Windy City.
Major Kettig was himself en- route to st.

with Mr.. Bryant as to the condition of
his son in st. Paul, and then returned 10
