IMPROVEMENTS AT
 SCHUMAKER PLANT
Manufacturer of White Way Posts Here Yesterday-Figuring On An
 Additional Foundry

G. Schumacher of Anniston, who con structed the white way in Birmingham [ nd many other cities, was here yes- terday on personal business. He said that he was very much interested in the an- nouncement by local men that white way was to be constructed from Avenue H to the Ridgciey apartments, and that he would certainly make an effort to inter est them in the Anniston product when the plans had progressed far enough to warrant figuring on the designs and other details of the white way. MT. Schu- macher said that Anniston was progress ing very rapidly and was destined to be one of the largest cities in the state.
 Our firm is figuring on the building of an additional foundry" said Mir. Schu- macher, but the details have not been arranged. However, we have plans which will be executed calling for an unusual amount of work at our plant during the next year or so, and I believe that the time is opportune for such steps as we contemplate. We have not fully decided upon the improvements that we will make, but whatever we decide to do will in- volVe a substantial amount of money
 Mir Schumacher called upon several local friends yesterday and returned to lis home in Anniston last night.

DEMONSTRATION OF
 MERCY HOME WORK ID BE GIVEN APRIL g
Will Be Held In Window at Drennen's-Appeal For Funds Is Issued By Ex-
 ecutive Committee

The ladies of the executive board of the Mercy Home yesterday announced that the annual demonstration of the work or the home would be given on April and 10 in a window of Drennen's store on the corner of Second avenue and Twen- l tieth street. Last year tho demonstra- ton was given in Loveman Joseph & I.oeh's window, and was such a success that it was decided to make 1t an annual affair. The entire routine of the home is shown with children from the home taking cart In conjunction with the demonstration q committee presdes at a both where subscriptions for the home may be received
 With the announcement of the board an appeal for funds for the home was issued. The statement follows.
 The calls are so many the needs are so many, but the people are SO many. too. What shall we do for the Mercy Ifomeg
 The dema nds are greater than ever. the appropriations are less. The children must be cared for-the dependent, homeless, motheress children. and the Mercy Home with family of 1oG appeals to you for help.
 The home is nonsectarian: 55 children are in the public schools, s2 are in the Kindergarten: 19 are in the nursery: the 1 per capita cost per month for food is l SS10
 l Last year the home gave a demon- 1 stration or its work-iust a glimpse of the 1 home life of the little ones-in the win dows at Loveman, Joseph x Loebs store This year it will be repeated, April and 10. at Dfennen's store. corner of Twen- teth street and Second avenue 'lt Is the only way that busy Birming- ham can really understand the work. It Is day of great enjoyment to the little ones a new place to play. For the pub lie 1t is q beautiful picture show--livng pictures.
 Someone said oh, it is terrible to see all those dependent children Suppose you go ID and down the street and see
 it. See the children half clad and dirty playing out on the sidewalk in the cold or heat. or see them shut up in rooms without ventilation, without proper food without care, and then contrast it with the picture in the window. Then I think you will be glad there is Mercy Home in Birmingham, that you will sleep bet ter at night because you know that these little ones are thus taken care Of, all tucked in warm beds. have had good supper and that caretaker walks through the long halls at night and watches over them while they sleep.
 s"Nothing is hopeful as work for children. It Is the beginning and to make the mind of a child pure and sweet is to safeguard its future. To forestall perncous habits is better than to cure them prevention is better than reform.
 For 2S years the Mercy Home has provided real home for the homeless; has given religious instruction: has given supervised recreations has provided per manent homes for many orphan boy and girl.
 And In the administration of city that has doubled it's population since the work started has maintained a record for usefulness and efficient service.

from Ensley? Does residence in Ems
 ley increase one's competency? Wha. has locality to do wit it? It must be presumed that if one is competent to
 serve on the board he is competent to
 serve for the whole city. Otherwise he is not competent. Aren't there peo- pie in Birmingham big enough to be as fair to Ensley as to East Lake l? And as fair to East Lake as to Ems ley?
 "The city commission by insisting that the next board member come from Ensley is renewing and intensifying and fortify- ing the demand for five commissioners, each commissioner coming from differ ent sections of the city. If Ensley is in- herently entitled to representation on the board of education, why is it not inher- ently entitled to representation on the city commission? Would commissioner from Ensey do more for Ensley than the present city commissioners are doing for it? If so, we had better return to the aldermanic system. The statement of the commission that the next member of the school board must come from
 Ensley is one of the finest arguments
 in favor of the ward plan of government
 that has been presented
 ''The whole business is an affair of dil- |ly-dallying. What the city commission should do is to select a member on the board solely on the basis of fitness. and rothing else. It makes no difference whether that fit person comes from Bir- mingham Ensley. Gate City or East Bir- minghum We want fit member; not an Ensley member. East Birmingham member or South Highlands member. Shifting the selection to the Commercial club of Ensley is not indulging in the highest sort of courage and patriotism twill the time ever come when the most deserving will not be outplayed by the most political? Will the city com
 mission entrench the sectional feeling or Is it going to be big enough to avoid it? Will the commissioners focus their
 eyes solely upon the most qualified per- son for the education board. or will those eyes continue to roam towards the next
 slectiou?"
