these men would have been on the street. idle, cold, hungry and desperate. What robberies. what thefts, what murders perhaps, have thus been prevented? What is the money value of this to Blrning- ham?
 Or, again, we have been criticized for slowness in giving relief in cer- tain cases. The public must remember that when applications for relief pile up, IS they do in hard times, quick ac- ton in every case requires more sal aried workers, and more salaried work CTS mean ea larger overhead" expense, and larger "overhead' expense means adverse criticism again. We have sought to please the public, but 1t could not always be done. Effective and prompt work means larger ad- ministration expense and criticism. A smaller administrative force means oe- casional delay and criticism again. We have tried to avoid extremes in either direction and while the result of that policy has not been entirely satisfac- tory, 1t was the best obtainable.
 Personality of Secretary McGrath
 Another criticism has been made that our secretary was unpopular" This has been made to our certain Knowledge by many persons with whom MT. McGrath has never exchanged a half dozen words. We are well aware that our secretary has been misunder- stood In certain instances. but we arc wholly at a loss to know why this should react upon the poor of Bir- mingham. So far as the charge of "un- popularity" is concerned. as board we do not feel that it is well found- ed. Those of us who are nearest to Mir. McGrath are unable to find ade- quate cause for such unpopularity as is said to exist. In our own personal relations with him we find him man ly. straightforward and frank. In our official relations we find him indus. trious and thoroughly capable, with his heart in his work and full un- derstanding of poverty and the causes underlying the same. This is the sober Judgment of the men who know him best. We give 1t as our opinion that 1t is thing to be deplored that the work should suffer because of what we feel is unfounded personal hostility. We say this in all kindness, admitting the sincerity and honesty of purpose of all who differ from us. We say this hop ing that the public will look for the good in this man. in whom his CO., workers have found so much.
 MT. McGrath is now off on the first vacation he has taken in five years. a trip necessitated to large extent by the health of his wife. The board hopes the community will sympathize with him in his worry and not criticize him for his absence

They have started a movement for putting hundreds of acres of idle lands into cultivation One of the large lumber companies that has 200 head of oxen Is going to raise on its own land enough grain and hay to feed all the oxen. Escambia county, pr. Boyd said had not lost a day in start ing the follow-up work after the southern organization was formed at Mobile. He said that other counties in southern Alabama were also going after themselves" pr. Boyd will tell at todays meeting of what Eseambia is doing and planning to do.
 Considerable satisfaction was ex- pressed here yesterday over word that Mrs Thomas M owen of Montgom- cry had been elected permanent secre- tary of the Diversified Farming asso- citation of central Alabama. News was also received that, with Mrs Owen as secretary, the central association planned to raise st0.000 to carry on the follow-up work in the central counties. Mrs. owen Is expected here today to tell what is being done in the counties in the Montgomery trade ter ritory.
 Professor Holden has offered to lend the aid of the l. H. c. farming men to the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce in making the movement in northern Alabama successful in every cominun- ity. Judge A.

 Hale, catcher.
 Wallace. catcher.
 Grimes, pitcher.

 In Arthur Hartle, Molesworth has n problem. This youngster is hitting the pill very hard and he Is chain light ming on the bases besides being a grand outfielder. All that can be said against the youngster is that he lacks experience.
 The Barons enjoyed the first Sunday in Birmingham by roaming all over the city. However. the majority of the boys rambled down to the city iai
