Leading Figure In Gigantic Loan.

Mr.. Hill recently added to his
laurels az one of the worlds greatest
%hnanciers by being the leading factor
in the negotiations for a $500, 000, 900
loan to the allies In the European war.
The loan was made on condition
that none OF II be spent for war mu-
nitions. Most of the money was used
In the purchase of food supplies and
made 1t possible for the farmers of
the Northwest to dispose of the sur
plus last fall of the record breaking
wheat crop.
Mr.. Hill was the father of nine chill

Mr.. Hill's wealth is estimated all

The very stringent regulations adopted
by the Ohio State Board OF Health re-
quire the sterilization Of all glasses, ice
cream dippers, spoons, serving dishes or
anything else that comes in contact with
ice cream, soda water or sundaes. Merely
washing and Wiping are not sufficient-all
utensils must be stcri!ized either with
boiling water or By steam.
The articles must first be rinsed in
cold water, then thoroughly washed in
hot water with soap or cleaning powder,
then exposed 10 live steam or boiling
water from three TO five minutes, and
finally rinscd in cold, clean water and
wiped with clean, dry towel This
must be done With every utensil used in
connection with the public sale OF ice
cream, soda water and similar foods and
beverages before it can be used again.
Suitable provision must also be made for

In the attempt to abolish the dirty
soda fountain II Is not sufficient to insist
merely upon the equipment necessary to
give sanitary service. The best equipped
fountaina~are often the most unsanitary,
on account OF the Incidence and ignor-
ance Of their employees. What seems to
be needed are stringent regulations for
safeguarding the health OF patrons Of

In addition to the sterilizing of glasses,

CURED to meet:
Separate towels for drying glassware
and for wiping counters and hands
Soda dispensers to be persons OF good

New York, August 15.-(Special.) -This
week marks the premature opening of
several new plays, and the reopening of
other theatres with the hits of former
season, the earning capacity of which has
not yet been exhausted. Within two
weeks more, the new season will be al
most in full swing-also prematurely-
and all on account of our great number
of visitors, not the least among whom
are the buyers.
1t was stated under this caption re-
Gently that Birmingham buyers are COM
ing here in numbers; therefore, it is
easily deduced that the Alabama me-
tropolis is doing her share to open our
theatrical season before its time. THE
buyers must be amused writes one re-
viewer. and yet, most of us have thought
right along that they were out strictly
for business.
Then, too, there are many visitors here
who have evidently made money in large
Jumps recently. Some of these people
are renting the best automobiles they
can procure, with uniformed chauffeurs
and everything-for days and weeks at
stretch, and at the rate of 81 an hour.
This class of visitors must also be
amused, and the producers seem to think
they can tempt them out of their rented
cars long enough to sit through theatre
cal performance of the best Broadway
brand.
Few plays will come to us from abroad
this year, and one result of this is the
advent of new names among the play
wrights. America is making her own
dramas and comedies at the same time
she is making munitions for the Eu-
ropean theatre of war. Infested expert

At the annual election of the Birming-
ham Ad club, held yesterday at l o'clock
at the Hillman, C. p. Loranz, business
manager of the Southern Medical jour
nal, was chosen president Of the club for
the ensuing year.
The election was conducted by Herbert
j. Baum, who had been appointed by the
president to conduct both primary ana
final elections Robert w. Ewing was
appointed manager and John C. Henley,
Jr., and Frank Rea tellers for the cleo
ton. The count of the votes showed IN
addition to the election of Mr.. Loranz'
that the following were elected to serve
for one year: r. T. Daniel, vice presl-
dent; H. D. Cullen, secretary-treasurer:
Fred ]. Hoberg, chairman of the ooaro

The secretary was instructed to take up
with Governor Henderson the matter OF
having a special officer appointed to see
after the enforcement of the state law IN
regard to truthful advertising, which Ia"
was passed by the last legislature at tne
request of the local club. The plan Is
that such an officer should be clotneo
with the proper authority, but that ne
should serve without compensation, ex-
cept that his actual expenses shouio oe
paid, provided there is fund that can
be used for such purposes. The new az
,ninistration is strongly in favor OF such
action. because it will lessen to great
extvent the amount of untruthIul anu

NEW DECATUR

New Decatur August 15.-(Special.) -Ihe
New Decatur city council, at its regular
meeting tonight. called mass meetings, to
ba held in the four wards of the city
next Friday night, for the purpose OF
nominating candidates for aldermen.
general mass meeting was called for sat
urday night at the city hall for the nom
nation of candidates for mayor. presi-
dent of the council and chief of police.
The nomination of candidates by mass
meeting is a local custom, and obvlates
the necessity for signed petitions, asking
that the name of the aspirant be placed
or the official ballot. For mayor there
are already three avowed candldates'
Mai. Charles Bassett, prominent business
man and octogenarian; Mayor A. A.
Hardage candidate for reelection, and
f c. PAYNE a wealthy lunb erman.
Another formality in connection with
the proposed change of the name of New
Decatur to Albany" was the enactlon by
the city council tonight of an ordinance
repeating an ordinance of two years ago
authorizing the voters to determine ii
the name of the municipality should be
changed to Morgan City" This cleo
ton was a tie, and the name of the
city remained unchanged for two years
The ordinance, however, had never been
repealed, it was discovered recently. The
council also passed an ordinance correct
ing certain errors in the phraseology of
the ordinance providing for the change
of name election on September 49, I'm
usual care is being taken by the ad-
vocates of a change of name to avoid
any possible injunction proceedings that
may be brought following the election.
Ernest and George Lindsey, brothers.
have brought suit in the circuit court
here against the Southern railway. Each
asks for damages in the sum of $780,
alleging that they were refused admit
lance to the trainshed at Chattanooga on

summer.
The Decaturs are forging to the front
as convention towns. This year they
have entertained four conventions of
statewide proportions, and expect to go
out after others. The attendance of visit
ors to the four conventions is estimated
at 1000, divided as follows: Alabama Chris
tian Endeavor, $780, Alabama Retair Hard

Much Interest in the Race
for Solicitor in Second

Montgomery, August 15.-(Special.)-Con-
siderable interest is attached to the con-
test for appointment to the office OF
solicitor of the Second judicial circuit,
" hich recently became vacant upon the
resignation of Gen. c. r. Bricken, brig
adler general in command of the mobliza-
ton camp, and democratic nominee for
one of the judgeships on the court of
appeals. The appearance in Montgomery
today Of Senator Fred Winkler of Green
vile, one of the applicants, led to the
belief that the governor is expected 10
make the appointment this week, mas
much as the circuit court convenes at
Hayneville Monday and it is necessary
to have a solicitor on the Job. There
are four aspirants, including Senator
Winkler, G. w. L. Smith of Brewton,
Frank Stone of Bay Minette and G. O.
Dickey of Luverne.
Senator Winkler was one of the ardent
administration leaders in the recent SEN
ate and supported all administration
measures during the sessions of the as
