city authorities have taken the po- sstien that the fight was preeipitatcd by the delegation primarily on account of it's desire to increase the number of commissioners and that the refer enaum should be held on this proposed increase.

Everywhere there are heaps and heaps of large as well as small articles thrown aside as useless In every business there are some items that are seemingly unim- portant deferred until an emergency de- mands attention.
 "Sonething new" claims the interest of tho many today; that is. things that are tn eadbare are left over until there is more time to fool with them.
 Yet often the case of these very ar ticles and objects are the greatest busi- ness speculations one can make. There is great art in saving, and the first step is in sparing the waste-mending-w includes taking up odd jobs Is becoming among the lessons of the rural schools. In visiting these schools where domestic training has been initiated, and almost all of the country schools are adopting the same methods as the city schools, a glance at the workshop shows that les sons of care. of darning, patching and making over are being given. The teacher in one school remarked, "Our people have had such hard time this session that such Iesoons in sewing would have been 1InpOSSlDle were IL liot titdt the ciiiiuTtH were taught to mend their own clothes and darn their own stockings. and this has been a great lesson to mothers and the girls Many old garments have been repaired that would otherwise have rotted in the waste. Again. we note the per sonal pride being cultivated in the pupil; they are keen to prize their own work, and this very necessity has been the means of creating more general in- terest in the neatness of the wearing ap- pare in the schoolroom. ''
 Webster says "To mend means to re- pair. as anything that is torn, broken oi decayed to after for the better to sei right; to improves to help; to advance to a better state"
 Then the whole world has got a great big patch job; 1t is so full of torn ar ticles. of worn out, wasted energies, o scrap bags and trash piles.
 The men are realizing this. as well al ! tho women; they are instituting a mend | ing day. The press has initiated a move
 ment to start fresh-to clean out the rub bish and to make over more than patel
 up. The spirit is spreading. politicians arr taking notice and progress and the peop ' are pleading for repairs

Some members contributing to the pro grammes during the year were MT. and Mrs. Chalifoux. Miss Airline Barnett, Miss Annie Lou Woods, Miss Ware, Miss Low ella Hanlin, Miss Georgia Taul, Mr. Earl Spagleton and Mr. Frank Snagleten.

ALLEGED "R|NC" ID FIGHT GORGAS BILL Dr. Sanders Writing to Med ical Association Members BAKER MAKES ATTACK President of State Medical Association Sending Out Stereotyped Resolu-
 ton to Be Adopted Condemn
 ing New Health Bill
BAKER MAKES ATTACK

The prediction printed in The Age-Her- aid yesterday morning that the college of counselors of the Alabama Medical association through it's leaders, would precipitate a sharp fight against the pro- posed Gorgas bill, has, it Is learned, been borne out in fact.
 At the present time. the election of a state health officer and the sanitation and preservation of the health of the entire state is reposed in the counselors, a body of 100 self-perpetuating units of au- thority. The Gorgas bill would put the election of a state health officer in the hands of the members of the association, or, in other words, 2o0o practicing phy- sicians.
 pr. w. H. Sanders, state health officer for many years. has written to the mem- bers of the association severe criticism of the proposed bill which he declares to be the fruit of a conspiracy to tear down the association. Or. J. N. Baker of Montgom- cry, president if the association has writ ten to the several county medical organ izations criticizing the plan of the doctors and the proposed bill, and inclosing ster- eotyped resolution. This resolution, con IalnlnS dS IL uOtS Cl1titiSfH Ol thOSt N'e would divorce the medical association from politics, is an Endorsement of the scheme as 1t exists today, and is, ae- cording to it's authors suggestion, to be adopted by the several county associa- tions.
 pr. Baker urges the county units to pre- sent the resolutions after their adoption to the legislators of the counties. which Is an indication that the so-caled ring" is pre- pairing to defend itself when the legisla- ture convenes again July 15. The advo- cates of the Gorgas bill. and the chair man of the health committee of the legis- lature declare that it is their purpofe to divorce health from politics, and to de- st-oy only that phase of the association life which is oligarchical and undemocrat- ic The Gorgas bill is patterned after the Massachusetts bill, it is learned, which is considered the most progressive and enlightened in America.

cated yesterday what course would be pursued. The majority admits now sver, that in it's opinion the election will be extra legal and that the com mission will haze no authority to spend the money of the people in holding such election.
 According to the indications the members of the delegation who are entrusted with making the fight for five commissioners will endeaVor 10 enlist on their side the people who may be convinced that the election is not legal. that no authority exists un- der which the expenses of the ciee- tion may be paid by the city, and taat the commissioners acted unfairly in not agreeing to the demands of Sen ator Judge that the questions to be contained on the ticket We're not sup plcmented by various others.

 As the result of we'll earned promo tons at the beginning of the next school term there will be more than 20 boys and girls in the eighth and ninth grades of the home high school and this, to- gether with other causes makes 1t neces- sary that an additional teacher be en- gagged for next year. It is likely that both Miss Davis and Miss Reynolds will be asked to remain SD that only one new teacher will be employed. A Kindergarten will also be conducted.
 The report was made showing that S25O net was made out of the refreshments on excursion day. It was decided to add to this fund the unexpended live stock fund of about the same amount together with other moneys making a total of about $700 and to spend the amount in the purchase of milch COWS.
