the people the necessity Of being ex-
amined by q doctor At least once a year.
Letters were sent to managers OF bak-
cries. laundries and shops. asking their
cooperation In urging their employees to
be Examined. The replies were very en-
couraginG and a larger number of persons
presented themselves at the dispensary Of
the association at $40 II stHeet northwest

short while to be examined. the employees
were put to little trouble

Supt Thurston notified the teachers Of
the movement and suggested their CO.
operation. Accordingly, emphasis was
placed upon the twelve health rules urged

schools the children wrote compositions
on the subject. Since 1872. We have dis
tributed more than 5000 printed cards
with these health rules among the chill
dren Of the public schools and this year
500 large cards were sent out. one Of

GERMANS HAVE
ENOUGH OLD METAL

Berlin, May $50 great
has been the flood of old metals for
melting purposes, that the war min
istry has had to issue a statement,
thanking the donors but declaring
the lack of metal is not sufficient to
necessitate such sacrifice.
"Of late says the ministry,
there have been accumulating in
the raw materials of war division
Of the ministry metal objects of all
kinds from the household and the
factory, even church bells, for the
use OF the army. 1t is impossible
to thank each sender for his laud-
able interest, SO the war ministry
bespeaks in this way it's gratitude.
THE army authorities do not
wish to take advantage of this
movement, because at the present
there is no shortage in old metal.
Aside from this face, the less well
to do circles of our population would
be apt to compete in spirit of sac
rifice in giving to the Fatherland
their metal, while in the case of a
real shortage. larger supplies and
objects, such as roofs. could be
used.

CAR CONDUCTORS

Cardiff, Wales, May S.-The first
women conductors appeared on the
Cardiff street cars on April % and
were received enthusiastically by
the townspeople Almost the en-
tire population of the place made an
effort to obtain a ride on one or an
other of the cars fficered by the new
conductors, with the result that the
novices experienced rush which
would have tried the ability of a
veteran
That the new conductors were
somewhat nervous was quite evil
dent during the first few hours, but
before the day was over they had
become more confident. All the pas
sengers, they said, were very polite,
except over occasional mistakes in
making change. Some of the men
who boarded the cars seemed to be
in doubt as to whether or not to
remove their hats inside the cars.
For the present, the women will
start work at 10 o'clock in the

BIRMINGHAM
WANTS NEXT
U.C.V.CONVENT|ON

c, l.. Willoughby. aijutant of
the Lakeland Camp, U. C. ",
Lakeland, Fla, has received the
following letter from the Chamber
of Commerce of Birmingham, Ala.
asking the cooperation of the Lake
land Camp in securing the next
Confederate reunion
Dear Sir: 1t was Birmingham s
pleasure to entertain the Reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans in
1908, and we have been looking
forward to the time when Birming
ham could again be host. We feel
that the time has come to extend
another invitation, and we ask you
to aid us in bringing the 1916 re-
union to our city.
Birmingham is admirably situat-
ed to act as host. Its geographical
location in the center of the south
ern states makes it readily accessi-
BILE from every point, and it's eight
trunk line railroads offer transpor-
tation facilities unsurpassed.
Many new hotels. apartment
buildings and boarding houses have
been erected since the Veterans
were last in Birmingham, and we
are able to offer accommodations to
suit the wishes Of all your members.
We should also expect to extend ac-
to those who might
desire to camp together at our State
fair grounds.
The altitude Of Birmingham,
combined with its mild climatic
at the time Of the re-
inion would be invigoratfng to the
Veterans, and is another strong
,oint in favor of our city.
"Birmingham greatly desires the
1916 reunion. and our people would
pare no effort in making 1t one of
he most successful gatherings In
he history of the United Confeder-
tie Veterans.
81 will appreciate any co-Opera-
ion or suggestions you may feel in |
position to extend.
Thanking you for anything you
nay do for Birmingham, am,
Cordially yours,

DEMAND FOR AMERICAN
HORSES WILL Be Great
(By Associated Press. J

London, May S.-Cavalry has
been SO little used in this war and
transportation has been so depend
ent on motor vehicles that it is
doubtful whether the demand for
American horses is as heavy now as
will be after the war. when the
shortage will be felt on the farms
of Europe. The United States has
shipped less than 100000 horses
to the warning powers since hostili-
ties began. If the number is raised
to 100000, only one per cent of the
American horse supply will have
been touched.
