 There is an inside hopper drops into the can which san be lifted out and dumped isto the trash wagon when the can is to be cleaned out
 The commissioners state they do not know what they will do in regard to the proposition, ont it is believed they look on the matter with a good deal of favor.

 The rebate bureau of the Business Mems leagne has already rebated fares to hundreds of persons and the indica- tions are that before today is done the total will exceed that0of the State Fair in the fall. Judging from the money rebated in fares. which is done only on purchases above a certain amount. up- wards of s150.000 has been spent by visitors 10 Birmingham this week It is believed that the total amount spent with Birmingham merchants by visitors and residents will near the half mill lion dollar mark.
 If il is decided to hold Fashion Week next year, President Brown of the Busi ness Mems league will probably ap- point committee to handle this matter. making it one of the standing commit tees of the league. This committee will have charge of all the preparatory work of Fashion Week. designating who shall choose Miss Fashion for each day. what the decorations shall be and other minor details.
 That the present scheme of decora- ton will be followed in the event Fash ion Week becomes an institution is not doubted, for many merchants have com mented upon it favorably and it has attracted widespread attention. The de- sign was Sam Friedman's, window trim mer of Blach's.

TREES IN DANGER.
 DECLARES EVANS
State HOrticulturists Here Making Inspections.
 Spraying Needed

Unless Birmingham takes steps at once to wage war on the san Jose scale within a very few years the city will be absolutely nude of trees" was the ctart- ling statement made yesterday by B. F. Evans of Auburn, member of the Ala bama State Horticultural department who is in Birmingham making some in spections of local trees.
 'I have examined trees in different parts of the city" said Mir Evans, and the scale is almost everywhere. found some trees already dying and unless spraying is begun at once they will soon be past saving
 Local nurserymen and horticultniists have been urging upon tho city commits sion recently the passage of an ordinance making spraying of trees compulsory the city to sprinkle the trees along the sidewalks and the residents to pay for the sprinkling of trees inside the sidevarl line.
 What the city should do,' said Mir. Evans. .is to purchase a power spraying machine with which it could sprinkle it's own trees and the citizens pay for sprnk- ling all other trees The cost to the
 
 a machine would probably be about 50 cents per tree for the average sized shade tree.
 Spraying would have to be done but about twice each winter and not at all in the summer. If this was kept up for q few years, probably no spraying would have to be done for awhile The mixture used is lime sulphur which kills the scale entirely. This San Jose scale is an in- sect barely visible to the naked eye and multiplies very rapidly It takes it's name from the San Jose valley in California where it was first found. It kills the tree by taking all the sap and sucking the very life out of it.
 "The state horticulture department is having much trouble with nurserymen who are violating the state laws in re- gard to having their stocks inspected and kept free from this scale and in this way some of them are spreading the scale to all parts of the state. Ii is necessary for them to have their stocks inspected at least once year and then with every shipment of young trees to attach an official tag from the department showing that an inspection has been made within the last F months and there was no scale. Fines for viola ting this law are from $50 to S100. and we intend to prose- cute every man who is violating it.
