What a tale of romance of Spanish
conquerors and English explorers, OF
discoveries of the chemist rivaling
the tales of the Genii, of Aladin's
Lamp; what visions of the tangled
maze of tropical forests, the twisted
and turbulent currents of mighty
rivers; what stories of elementary
man in the struggle for very existence;
what dreams of avarice of the explo-
..rer lie in the story behind the produc-
ton of the simplest article made from
that magic substance-rubber.

Dr. Henry M. Edmonds
A CHARACTER SKETCH By HARRY H. GARRETT

pr. Edmonds name has become familiar Ill nearly every home in Birining ham, rich or poor; in every store, large or little, and in every building, great or small. And how much that name em- bodies. Consolation to the sick; help to the helpless; untiring energy to work for the uplifting of humanity-I could name thousand more and still there would be left out some part of his Christian work
 What is it that makes Dr. Edmonds s so forc1ble? Kf
 It is the life which he leads; the per- feet model of truth, goodness, and all that constitutes the name of Christian He does good that no one dreams of and he goes about it in such way that half of what he does is never known l was never so impressed with how many people go to him for help as the other day, when I was in his downtown office There were at least dozen people, white and black, old and young, sitting about the room, waiting to tell him their trou- bles, knowing that he would give them aid. Their confidence in him is fulfilled. for he never fails to help them. and when they leave they have come to the realiza- tfon that the world is not such a cold cruel place after all, and that life is worth living no matter how great his or her sorrow may be. He is a friend to every one:< not a person on whom the people look as being man far away in the skies. shrouded from the working world in garment of ecclesiastical doc trines. He Is just human being suf- fering with his fellow-men in their trou- bles and rejoicing with them in their happiness. This Is why the people love him. He is a man who breaches what he believes and believes what he breaches And this Is the kind of preaching for which the people of today are nunrerinR. that religion which will help them in their everyday life, in their dealings with other men and in the home circle.
 Two or three Sunday nights ago, as I watched the crowd pouring into the Lyric theatre, the following story, which some one once told me, flashed into my mind. The person who told 1t was U ,eacaer who lived opposite Capitol park Tho cooks little boy had often begged to go into the park and hear the music and watch the children play. but he had been refused as the cook had no time to taxe him and she was afraid to trust him by himself. One day the teacher said she would take him and let him hear the music if he would be good and sit on the bench beside her. He was highly de- the teacher in the park. He sat- watch- ing the children dancing around the music stand. finally after g long silence, he said in a trembling voice, "De music sho' do draw de chi'lun an-a-n 1t neahly draws me-"
 "Dr. Edmonds shos dc, draw de crowd. an he's done drawed ma"

SUGGESTION TO CELEBRATE
 ALABAMA'S TOOTH BIRTHDAY

show our love for our native state and our pride in it's great industrial and com merclal growth in so short time. It seems proper that the voice of the people of Alabama should unite in having an exposition in the fall of 1919.
 The children of the ltlyton school think that this anniversary should be celebrated in a fitting way in Birmingham. It ia the largest and most progressive city in the state, is centrally located and is also a great railroad center. Birmingham owns so acres of land at Green SprinEs park. which will he most suitable place for the exposition. This park is beaut fully located on the northern slope of Red mountain. Through it flows a very pretty stream whose source is an excel lent spring. There are several artificial lakes near the grounds. These together with the natural beauty and advantages of Red mountain would render Green Springs park an eceptionally excellent lo- cation for the exposition grounds.
 Won't someone who is interested in tho progress of our state call mass meeting of the people and place this important question before them? The work should begin now, as it will require several years to carry out well laid plans

Birmingham's First School Building-1sss

It is hard to think back upon a time when Birmingham had no public schools of it's own. and yet in 1873 the city had no public school at all and no means of securing one. However, this very year in spite of the worst epidemic that has ever swept through this city with the destroying of lives and the sorrow and poverty, Birmingham's school system started. After the epidemic had passed a party of workmen appealed to Col. J. T. Terry, one of the foremost pioneers. and 6 slxed him to use his influence to secure a public school for the town.
 But Birmingham had no money, no land and no credit, kind friend of the children Col. James R. Powell, gave lot 100x190 feet "out in the country, as it was then considered, but now we know it to be Sixth avenue ard Twenty fourth street. and in the heart of town. but what was Birmingham to do about building school on the lot? Subscriptions were taken and at last work on the school was begun. work was suspended several times but at last the building was finished On the 1st day of March, 1874 Birmingham S first public school opened The building was called the Powell school. and was one of the few. brick buildings in the city.
 The principal and superintendent of this
