Commencement of Birming- ham Medical College Held at Jefferson Theatre
 Last Night

l W. C. Davis of Jasper. chairman of ! the joint recess legislative committee on the judiciary in his address to the grad uates of Birmingham Medical college at the Jefferson theatre last night, warned the medicos against commerclalism. Ho said that at one time the legal profes- sion held the highest place in the esti- nation of the people. However. in later years, he said, this position has become ieopar dized by commerclalism within the ranks of the profession.
 Mir. Davis said that the president should have in his cabinet a secretary of health whose duty 1t should be to inform the chief executive of the nation as to the countrys health. He said it was just as necessary as was a secretary of war Referring to Alabama, he said more money was spent each year by the state to send its militia to annual encamp- ment than was spent in the health de- nartment. This he said, was wrong; that the health of the state was of more importance than its militia ever was or ever will be. and that more money should be spent to keep the state healthy than In keeping the National Guard we'll trained. He thought the legislature should make moro appropriations for the health department and predicted that more | would be donc, as time goes on. l Dr. l.. c. Morris, dean of the medica department of the Birmingham Medical | college, presided over the commencement exercises last night Dr. J. A. Bryan. pastor of the Third Presbyterian church, asked divine guidance and pronounced the benedictioD.
