THIS CARRIER BOY FIXED
 FOR ALL BASEBALL GAMES
Madison Gay Who Carries Route in Fairfield Doesn't Have Much to Say, But He Has Way of Getting
 What He Goes After
By ELLIS c. HoLLUMs

Here's a fellow who already has se- cured his season ticket to Redwood park and he will be seen at every game played there this season. Madison Gay is his name and he is one of the livest carriers on The Age Herald force. Roy E1lam was his favorite baseball play cut a winner for the incoming sea son.
 Madison has what old-timers used to term "git up and git" in him. He got up and got 30 new subscribers to The Herald in just a little bit less time than nothing. He now is holding that season ticket against the opening game at Redwood and when you find your seat way out in the corner of center field up against the fence, look over in the "rootinest" part of the grandstand. You'll see this Age-Hera1d carrier, along with many other car riers, pulling for the home team.
 Madison Is IA years old and has been with The AgeHerald about a year. He delivers the paper to residents of Fair field and goes to the Bush school at Ens1ey. His home is at 2423 Avenue E, Ensley. In addition to being a base ball fan he plays the game himself, covering third base so well that a runner Just naturally dies on that bag If he moves two feet toward home. He also plays football, sometimes guard and again end. As a guard he is said by his friends to be a wonder al though he did not discuss the matter himself.
 He is modest and doesn't go about things ostentatiously. But he gets there while the noisy fellow is yet telling what he is going" to do. When he was told about The Herald season ticket contest he didn't say a word. He grasped it's meaning and no questioning on his part was deemed necessary. He was among the first to turn in the required number of sub scribers. He asked no odds of anyone and did not send in an s o s call He just went after what he wanted and got 1t.

PAVLOWA WILL BE
 GUEST Al CLUB
Last of Series of Informal Affairs Next Saturday
 Night

The last of series of entertainments given at the Newspaper club for stars of the theatrical world will be given next Saturday night when Mile. Anna Pavlowa, the great Russian dancer, will be the guest of members of the club.
 Immediately after her performance at the Jefferson, Mlles .Paylowa will go to the club, where she will meet a number of the members of the club and one of the informal affairs which have become so popular will be enjoyed.
 Officials of the Newspaper club arc much pleased with the success of the in- formal entertainments given from time to time for visiting artists of the stage. Members also are enthusiastic. for it has enabled them to catch a fascinating glimpse of the real personalities of people whose fame as delineators of characters other than their own Is known all over the world. whom they had formerly known only over the footlights.
 Those who have attended these informal affairs have found that the guests of honor shone just as brilliantly and made the magnetism of their personality just as much felt in the clubrooms as on the boards and added at the same time touch of personal interest that is lacking elsewhere
 In addition to giving the members keen pleasure the hospitality has been highly appreciated by tine guests and has en- gendered the kindest of feelings toward Birmingham and the club
 It is almost certain that the entertain ments will be renewed with the opening of the theatrical season of 19lo-l9l6

A. campaign here is extremely con- fident, and optimistic predictions were in order.
 Guesses are being made that the final figure will be anywhere between 1900 and POGO Even the most pessimistic now be- ieVes that Birmingham will secure the southern record for campaigns, if not the record for the entire country.
 According to Campaign Manager Hook enbury, the last day is always the big day. His figures show that Norfolk on the last day secured 435 Washington 464, Chester, Pa, 59s, Willxesbarre, Pa, 472 Newcastle 575 and Scranton 4S0.

ORDER IN COUNCIL
 CAUSES FAILURE

New York. April 2.-The British or der in council forbidding trading with the Germans and Austrians caused the failure of Bawo & Dotter, limited, an English corporation dealing in and manufacturing chinaware in Germany and Austria. That was shown today when the stock and other assets of the corporation in this city were sold to George Borgfeld X Co.,, importers, for $100000 at private sale.
 The sale was the result of an equity suit in which Bawo & Dotten, limited. admitted it's inability to meet its ob- ligations and explained that its finan- cial troubles were due to the order because of which Germany and Aus tria seized the factories and other ex- tensiye plants of the company. That action cut off the concern from it's base of supplies and insolvency followed.

CHARGE MAY Be MADE
FOR REMOVING TRASH

Discussion of the problem which
practically every city in the land Is
bedeviled with, that of effectively and
economically disposing of refuse mat
ter which is continually accommodating
about business places and residence
took up more of the municipal coun.
ellis time than any other one subject,
at the adjourned meeting held We'd
nesday evening. 1t was unanimously
agreed that the present method of
carting garbage to the city dumping
grounds is too expensive, and it Is
likely that new plan will be adopted
one that will place the cost of haul
ing upon the individual citizen from
whose premises trash is taken
The matter was referred to the SAM
tary committee, which, it is believed,
will recommend that the old system
be abolished and a new one substi-
tuted. 1t has been suggested that
minimum charge of IL cents be made
for removing each can or other gar
bage receptacle.

f. W. Greene has a proposition for

results from the position of the North
canal along the north side of the
street Mr.. Greene is willing, he says,
| to give and take the land along the
make it of uniform width, and he will
put in the sidewalk on the north side
and pay his proportion towards hard
surfacing the roadway.
| In connection with this he would
like to turn the small triangle of
ground which will be left between the
roadway and the canal at Ridgewood
| avenue into an attractive rest spot by
erecting rustic pavilion, fitted with
drinking fountain where visitors and
others might rest and refresh them
selves while strolling along Ridge |
wood avenue. AS a still further at |
traction he would place at the rear
of the pavilion an old sugar mill which
he owns on Second avenue, west of
the colored training school. Many
people now make the long trip to see
the mill and it would probably prove
even more of an attraction to visitors
if it was more accessible.
Being fairly central on Ridgewood
this spot would be an excellent location
for rest place, of which there are
practically none along the avenue, a
fact that is frequently commented on
by visitors in the city. 1t would also
seem well to save from destruction
the few sugar mill ruins which still
exist about the city, and which prove
of much interest to visitors from the
north.
