 ITO Loveman, Joseph & Loeb for in- numerable courtesies and to the daily papers for their kind and commendators notice.
 ''These and all others who assisted, arc thus associated in this work for depend- ent children, and the interest manEest- ed insures it's continuance.
 Tt was said that the best thing about it was that it gave the children such merry time, a real moving picture, and unconsciously the children themselves representing all dependent children be- came part of the plan--to bring the work of the Mercy Home before the gem eral public, who would see 1t in no other way r
 The amount received was little more than Sloo0. and is sufficient to pay the deficit in current expenses
 By making this an annual observance the home hopes to be able to meet the increasing demand, and to do it in particular manner as has been adopted by the District Nurses association the Boys club and others, thus avoiding duplication of effort and methods"

DANIELS PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE ID
 VERA CRUZ DEAD

Washington, April 25.-The fighting at Vera Cruz. due to the studied insult of Huerta, was made the subject of a brief, but impressive public tribute to the navy and it's dead by Josephus Dan iels, Secretary of the Navy. tonight. Speaking before the Society of Naval En- gineers at the Army and Navy club. Sec retary Daniels repeated his tribute to the officers and continued:
 T did not say it then. but I felt the hope in my heart that fate would not decree that these men should soon be called upon to rally with their splendid powers and training and patriotism to the call of their country in crisis, but it has been even so. The studied insult of Victoriano Huerta, who calls himself the provisional President of Mexico in refusing to salute the American flag, has made necessary the sacrifice of human life, and this is the honor roll of the first dead in the fighting at Vera Cruz '
 Mir Daniels then read the names of the F bluejackets and marines killed at Vera Cruz.

BEAUTY OF CITY HAS
 BEEN POINTED OUT
Suggestions of Visitors Causes Comment in Cham
 Der of Commerce Circles

For nearly year past the local Chamber of Commerce has been em- phasizing the fact that Birmingham is a city beautiful: that it is the best place in the south in which to live, and recent published statements to the effect that Birmingham was not suffi- einetly advertised as a residential city has provoked comment.
 As "The Pittsburg of the South" Birmingham has received hundreds of dollars worth of advertising. But Pres ident Shook of the Chamber of Com merce says that so far as that body is concerned, the city is going to get all the advertising possible, pointing out it's advantages as place in which to live. MT Shook says the conven- ton committee of the chamber is go- ing to be very active this year and says that it is possible a folder show ing residential scenes in Birmingham will be issued for the purpose of aid ing in the securing of conventions. Of course. industrial scenes also will be shown, but Birmingham beautiful climate, the unsurpassed quality of its peoples hospitality, its hotels and the beautiful scenery hereabouts will re- ceive much attention.
 "The only reason Birmingham has not been advertised as a convention city, except for the last year. was the lack of hotel facilities said Presi- dent Shook yesterday. We have not had hotels large enough to care for the delegates to a convention of the lar ger size and it would have been fool hardy to have attempted to bring q convention here when We had made quate hotel accommodations to offer the visitors.
 Now, however, that the city is to be well supplied with hotels before the last of this year we are going right out after the larger conventions. The auditorium is about to be realized and q determined effort will be made to give Birmingham the publicity it de- serves along the lines of being a good place to live, to visit and to hold con VentionS"
