GIVES PRAISE TO
 LOCAL WORKERS

In the August issue of "The Furniture Worker" trade publication printed at Cincinnati. Mrs M. F. Leake, secretary of the Birmingham Retail Furniture Dealers association, has an article com mending Secretary w. C. Radcliffe and Assistsnt W. Blanks Everett of the local Chamber of Commerce for their activity toward securing conventions for the Magic City.
 The article says:
 w. c. Radcliffe. general secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, with the val uable assistance rendered by Assistant Secretary w. Blanks Everett and the splendid cooperation of the members of 30 conventions to Birmingham during the present year.
 Without doubt, MT. Radcliffe is what Kentuckians call a thoroughbred. And that is just about the greatest compliment that can be paid to any man in any walk of life. Why thoroughbred, you say? Because a real thoroughbred never com plains, never whines, their power of en- durance is tremendous. The secretary of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. too. does none of this. All during the financial depression of the past months he has been an inspiration to his CO., workers. going right along, full of hope. enthusiasm, optimism and animation. working continually for the advancement and betterment of his adopted city in many ways, bringing new industries afif new enterprises to the city and helping in the upbuilding in dozens of ways
 In the same issue of "The Furniture Worker" Mrs. Leake had the following to say about the woman's department at the State Fair:
 Mrs. J. B. Reid, who has charge of the woman's department of the Alabama State Fair, has been untiding in her eff forts to make the womans department of the 1915 fair the best in the history of the fair, ana t early promises material ize, surely the woman's department will be more attractive, more helpful and ed- ucational than ever before' if such is pos sible.
 There Is no woman in the entire south who has done rsore constructive work in the way of be<ter homes than has Mrs. J.. B. Reid of Birmingham. practical home- maker. philanthropist, journalist and last but best of all. really and truly good woman.Y ks

 Will Rogers, alias Bud Bell. negro. yelled this at his mother yesterday after noon in a negro shanty at Twenty fourth street and Avenue C, when Constable J. Ed Matlock of the municipal court served an execution on the darky's wooden leg and took the artificial limb away with him.
 The wooden leg" is now labeled "ex- hibit A and is in custody of the court in curiosity yesterday afternoon among at- torneys and newspaper men.
 The negro is employed as an ice n,an. but ayers that he cannot compete with other husky laborers while hobblng about on a crutch and therefore he purchased wooden leg" from the Birmingham Ar tificial Limb company on the installment plan. The leg cost the negro s1O0.
 Even with the wooden leg the negro ing $62 on the artificial limb he found he could not meet his payments very promptly This proved embarrassing, as the Birmingham Artificial Limb company resorted to the law and obtained an exc cution against the negro in Judge flick mans court yesterday morning.
 According to Constable Matlock he found the negro at home and after reading .he legal parchment to the darky said:
 Squat, nigger I'm going to take your leg off"
 ''All right, cap'n,' answered the negro, and then beckoned to his mother for his old crutches that had been relegateJ to a corner under bed upon the advent of the wooden leg.

SMALL ROBBED 0F RINGS VALUED AT S70OBY WHITE MEN E.nploye of Fleischmann Yeast Co. Held Up by Two Bandits Early Yester-
 day Morning

Robert E. Small, 1886 Twenty-first street. north. was held up at the point or re- volvers in the hands of two masked white men yesterday morning at 4:15 o'clock at the office of the Fleischmann Yeast com rany, 6O9 North Nineteenth street, aGd forced to deliver to the highwaymen two diamond rings valued at $7O0 which he was wearing on his fingers.
 Small had just opened up the office and was about to go to the rear of the place to get a shipment of yeast that was to go out on an early morning train when a calm voice called from behind him to oft your d. hands" Small did so, and as he turned he was confronted by two individuals dressed in overalls and arraeo with two revolvers which appeared to Small to be brand new 3S's. Both of the men had masks, upon their faces and gave their victim orders to turn about and enter the rear room. Small did so and the men took the rings from him and demanded money. Small replied that he had none and after some talk the rob- oers searched him as well as the draw CTS to the desk in the office. Finding nothing, they chuckled to themselves and shook Small roughly.
 After getting the rings, the bandits jerked the telephone wires in two and bound their victim to the leg of the desk with piece of cord. Their efforts to bind him were feeble, as Small easily dis engaged himself after the robbers left AS soon as Small could rise from where he had been bound he ran down to po- lice headquarters and reported the mat ter. Captain Shirely, Officers Burgess, Fuller and Sergeant Simmons jumped in the patrol and were on the scene in a few seconds.
 No trace of the bandits has been found as yet. It is believed that the men who are responsible for the hold-up are aware of the habits of Small and knew what time he came to work each morning and that he had several diamond rings of value.
