It Is With the County Delegation

If Jefferson county is to get relief from the fee system it must come | through the efforts of the senator and representatives of Jefferson county. Every member of the delegation from this county was elected on platform declaring for the abolish ment of the fee evil, and stand pledged to the people to bring about the much desired relief Other important mat ters occupied the attention of the delegation during the 20-day session recently closed, and bills looking to this end were introduced, but no def mite action was taken.
 It was publicly stated by the legis- lative recess committee on judicial reform, at it's recent hearing held in Birmingham, that no relief could come except through the Jefferson county members, and Senator Lusk suggested that they be held strictly to account if they failed in this duty There are many matters to be con sidered in preparing a measure that will be satisfactory to the people, for only too often are bills amended and mutilated in either the house or sen ate, which, when passed, fail to ac- complish the purpose originally in- tended. It would seem that during these months that the legislature is in recess the Jefferson county dele gation could get together and decide upon bill that would be satisfactory to the people, whether it be satisfac- tory to the beneficiaries or not. AS the matter now stands it would appear that the beneficiaries of the

Conditions Improving Here

The indications are that conditions are growing considerably better fin the Bir- mingham district" said Maj. Horace Dodd of the Salvation Army Industrial department
 T have been stationed In this city for the past six months, and during that time my department has done much re- lief work. For the first four or five months of my stay here the number of unemployed was very large indeed; but of late improvement has been manifested in this respect. I estimate that during my sojourn in Birmingham my depart ment, which has headquarters at 1516 Fifth avenue. north, has afforded perma- nent relief to 190 persons and casual re- lief to 6S0 people. A countless number of meals have been served to the needy. and great many people have been fur nished with nights lodging free of charge.
 The city of Birmingham is a great in- dustrial center. and I believe the condi tion of the wage-working class here Is steadily improving. The humber of needy persons who apply to our organization for relief is now considerably diminished as compared with that or a month or so ago; but there is, as a matter of fact. still ample work for the Salvation Army and other charity organizations in this city
 ''One of the best things that can be said in favor of the Salvation Army is that its work is thoroughly practical It furnishes work to the unemployed, meals to the destitute and beds to the home less. Waste products are collected by this organization and converted into salable articles, the necessary lapor being per- formed by the unemployed.'

 "As much Wagner music as has been presented here no orchestra or concert band that I recall has played the popular and stirring 'Rienzi overture I under stand that Mir. Damrosch's tentative mat inee programme included the 'Tannhauser overture. but as that has been played so much, he agreed, at the request of the local committee, to substitute Rienzi' ["

The Demand for Eggs

in Birmingham last week." said c. F.. Bell, but this has. in a degree been overcome.
 Prices were advanced to 1s and 20 cents per dozen, and these prices con tinue to hold. This scarcity I believe was felt more or less in all southern markets. think it was due to a great extent to the, sudden demand made by New York.
 During a greater part of the sea- son New York merchants are able to secure their supplies near home, but at times these men suddenly find them selves short of the necessary egg SUD- ply. Photographic orders are then sent to all parts of the country. and ship ments are turned from ordinary trade channels because of the fancy prices offered for prompt delivery in that city. New York merchants by the way, do not to have more than enough eggs on hand than will serve for one day's consumption, and shipments are usually timed to arrive there in such a manner as to carry out this schedule; but some- times the plans miscarry. When there Is shortage of poultry in New York it is usually felt immediately in Bir- mingham and other southern markets. :"
 Scientific Research and Forestry How many of supposedly established theories acquired through superficia, knowledge and traditional lore are dissi. pated by the exact sciences said a stu dious man. Take, for instance the long believed theory that forestry governed rainfalls and to a degree thermal condi. tions. Observation-sc scientific researches,
 the present enlightened day, disprove, exclusively both propositions. We find l from the highest authorities these fact, (C. A. schenck's Forest Policyy ]" Evidence is strong that the cuttins | away of forests has nothing to do with creating or augmenting drouths. Precipi. 1 tation (rainfalD controls forestation bu,
