PLANNING TO TURN
 DEFEAT INTO VICTORY

At the present there is one object in view--a technical school. Tomorrow or immediately thereafter more definite plans will be outlined. Yesterday when the announcement came that Atlanta had won the fight for the college, the citizenry of Birmingham came together in spirit and formulated in their minds embryonic plans by means of which to turn defeat into victory. A number thought that 1t would be well to build a school in Birmingham for instruction along all technical lines, this school to be an integral part of the University of Alabama
 Others contending that that idea was not feasible, considered a big technical university, Birmingham university, to be constructed and maintained by Bir- mingham millions These differences will be adjusted.
 In the meantime, with the disappoint- ment in the defeat at the hands of Att lanta, there is certain satisfaction that when Birmingham does get it's college it will be Birmingham s college to be presided over by Birmingham tustees and open to all people of what ever political and religious belief. Be- cause denomiantional school is of sec- ondary value when compared with a non -sectarian institution of equal wealth and power, in the fight which is lost, Birmingham did not enthuse--did not display the spirit, as matter of fact, which it now displays in the very beginning of struggle for school of ife pup

CITY ENGINEER KENDRICK
 EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS

Some of the interviews obtained yes- terday in this connection follow: ' T am of the opinion that technolog- ical college as a branch of the state university would be better for Birming- ham than an Independent college" said City Engineer Julian Kendrick No school of this kind is ever self-supporting. There would be no use of having an independent school in Birmingham com peting with the technological department of the university at Tuscaloosa so 1t surely would be advisable to have the local college connected with the uni versty.
 No college of this kind is sef-support- ing. They all must be supported by dona- tions and endowments. If local college was connected with the state institution the burden of its support would be that (Continued on Page Eight)

DELEGATION MET AT
 TERMINAL STATION
Upr0arious Welcome Given Men Who Made Gallant Fight for Birming ham-Discuss Proposed Technical
 School for Birmingham

President Pasehal G. Shook of the Chamber of Commerce said last night that he would in all likelihood call meet ing of the central committee on the uni versity fund the early part of next week maybe Monday or Tuesday MT. Shook said he had been at his office very little during the campaign and would clear up his desk today and Saturday. Regarding the establishment in Birmingham of a technological school. MT Shook would make no other comment than what was printed in the Atlanta papers yesterday afternoon:
 "The contest has not been without value to our people, because of the tremendous ly strong and widespread sentiment there- by created in favor of the establishment of a great institution of learning in our city, and this sentiment will doubtless crystalline into a movement to locate great technological school in the Bir- mingham district. Our citizens have been given a clearer vision of the city's needs and of it's opportunities as seat for a great educational institution and par ticularly a technical school where the opportunities and demands for such an institution are unequaled in all our southland

Thinks Subscriptions Will Stand

4nAlthS CuO6SA ARtAOhS W HI otoitu
 There is no other section of the Uni ted States so well adapted for technical training, and there is no other section of this country so much in need of tech nically trained men as is Birmingham l believe that practically everyone who subscribed to the university fund would be more than willing to let his sub scription stand for a school of technology know that great many of the sub scribers would be willing to double their su Inscriptions.
 With it's great manufacturing plants and its varied industries, Birmingham is an ideal location for a technologcal school. If everybody will just get be- hind and push we can have one. In the older times, when there was no money ir general use, it Was an unwritten law that the fellow who did not do his part toward aiding in the upbuilding of the community. should be thrown out. It was good law. too This should be borne in mind, and the people should get behind the movement to locate in Birmingham school of technical train ing, of which the citizens here can well be proud. and which any youth in the land would be proud to call his alma mater
 'It is an urgent need in Birmingham and it's just up to us to get it. Let's do it."
 MT. Turner's hearers applauded his re- marks.
 The reception given MT. Shocks party by the Rotary club and it's friends at trected the attention of everyone within two blocks of the Terminal station. Oscar c. Turner was dubbed Professor Turner by Joe" Rosenberger and Pro lessor Turner called upon 'Jim" Shelby to lead in the singing. As. the Birmingham party stepped from the Pullman, headed by MT.

LARGE WATERY
 P|MPLES ON FACE Began to Itch. Rubbing Made Them Worse. Festered and Came to Head. Could Not Rest. Used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. Trouble Gone.

Terry. Miss" Whom 1 first noticed the trouble it was fine pimples which began to itch on my entire person. but my face seemed to be more affected than other parts. l would rub them which would make them itch much worse. Then began to scratch and this caused them to become large and form watery pimples. They festered and came to head. then they burst and became sores. On account of tho itching at night I could not rest well.
 After using skin lotions they would heal little then break out again. After abous Q month my sister told me about Cuticura Soap and Ointment. used water as warm as could bear and made a father with Cuti- cura Soap. bathed then dried and applied the Cuticura Ointment which gave relief at once. I kept on using them and In months time the trouble was entirely gone Cuticura Soap and Ointment had cured mo. (Signod) Mrs. Ella A. Hunter. Jan. al. 1914.

Plan to Erect UndenOmina tiOnal Institution Meets Instant Favor Among
 Citizens
SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE TO CARRY OUT
 COMMUNITY WISH
Some Think Branch of State Univer- sity's Pathological Department Should Be Established Here
 and Literally Encouraged

Having failed to gain CandIer unf- versity. the Birmingham delegation last night returned from Atlantn doubIy impressed with the efficacy of millions as n drawing card and imbucd with grim determination to trans form the present grimace of disap- pointment into n glorious and perma- nent smile.
 In other words, Birminghaw, encour- aged by temporary defeat to acquire lasting victory, Is planning to conceive and construct and endow Birmin 2 ham university.
 Those who led the unsuccessful fight for Candler university will immediately begin new struggle. It is anticipated that while in the hope of gaining the Methodist school, only a fractionel part of Birmingham's people came together, in this other and more notable attempt, Birmingham, as whole, Birmingham aggressive, Birmingham imbued with pride in itself. will strike and continue to strike until a triumph is recorded.

Welcome Returning Warriors

Welcome Returning Warriors
 With joyous whoop of welcome and to the Hitting refrain of Hail, Hail! the Gangs All Here.'' the Birmingham Rotary club, aided and abetted by about 75 other loyal citizens of Birmingham, met the local delegation, which went to Atlanta to present Birmingham's claims for the Methodist university, at the Terminal station at 1o:90 o'clock last night and escorted them home.
 Never in Birmingham was so much en- thusiasm exhibited and never before were heroes who returned without the "bacon" so royalty welcomed home The citizens of Birmingham made the journey to the Terminal station for the purpose of show ing Chairman P. G. Shook and his asso- ciates that, notwithstanding the fact that they lost in their fight, their friends kere knew they had done all they human ly could do to bring the university to Birmingham.
 The Rotary club held it's regular month ly business session last night and ad- journed about S:45 o'clock. In order to keep all it's members together that they might meet "Paschal' in body, they made the rounds of the motion picture
  about the time the train pulled in at 10:30.
 During it's business session the Rotary club, on motion of John Sparrow, decided 10 stand soidly behind the central com mittee and the Chamber of Commerce in anything these two bodies decided to do with regard to the establishment in Bir- mingham of a chronological school. And that sentiment was rampant throughout the ceremonies attending the reception given the committee at the train.
 Chairman Shook last night said that his party had done everything they could to get the university for Birmingham. He said it was just a question of money and Atlanta had it. Members of the dele gation expressed themselves in favor of establishing in Birmingham school of technical training which would be the equal, if not the superior, of anything of its kind in the country. This was in line with the business meeting of the Rotary club.
 R. s. Munger, one of the largest con tributors to the university fund, refused to be quoted regarding the establishment of a school of technology in Birming- ham. He said he had had no time to think over the matter. Dr. J. D. Simp- son, president of Birmingham college, and a member of the delegation. also refused to be quoted, as did J. D. Moore of the Moore Handley Hardware company.
 Robert Jemison, Jr., is in favor of es- tablishing such a school in Birmingham if a feasible plan could be drawn. Nathan l.. Miller, who was member Of the Birmingham committee to Atlanta, said that Mr. Shook had made good fight. That he lost is no reflection upon him, for he did all that was pos sible and there is no doubt but that he had the Atlanta people scared" said MT. Miller
 oscar c. Turner Is heartily in favor of establishing here a school of technology better than anything else in the United States. 'The time now is ripe for an institution of this kind" declared MT. Turner, 'and Birmingham needs it. The corporations would get behind it, the merchants and business men are for it and the people generally realize the great reed for 1t.
