 Replace Wood

Another of Birmingham's office build
 ings is being made absolutely fireproof
 An automatic sprinkler system is now
 being installed in the Woodward build
 ing. the first of this citys skyscrapers,
 which is still one of the most modern structures in the city. The sprinkler system is being put into every room and corridor of the building, and when the
 work is completed it is said that it will
 be entirely impossible for a fire to spread or to gain any headway
 In addition to the automatic sprinklers. all the wooden window frames are being removed and metal frames put in, wire glass windows are being installed and other improvements made to further in sure against fires. These improvements are in line with the most advanced ideas suggested by the fire prevention organ izations and the insurance companies of the country and it is said that when the work is completed the Woodward will be absolutely ffreproof something which few buildings really are.
 metal window frames and the wired glass windows are installed in the Wood ward building, it will be fireproof in every sense of the word" said E. L. Brown, agent of the building, yester- day. When this work is completed the Woodward and the Brown-M Marx will be the only two absolutely fireproof office buildings in Birmingham"

CITY COMMISSION
 WILL CONSIDER
 ROUTINE MATTERS
Sanitary Ordinance to Be Opposed By Barber-Tidewater Sale Will Be Discussed and Plans for
 Bond Issue

Indications point to very quiet meet ing of the city commission today, as only routine matters are on the official file for considerations The only ordinance that will come up today for vote will be the one making mandatory for property own CTS to have sanitary connections installed at their homes. This ordinance carries a section whereby, if the persons cannot afford to pay for the sanitary connections the city will install them and collect the most on monthly basis, which contem- plates the entire payment within 20 months.
 This sanitary connection ordinance has the backing of the board of health, and is being pushed by Commissioner J. R. Hornady while Commissioner Arlie Bar per is the onIy member of the board open ly against it.
 Other questions before the board today will be the acquisition of the Tidewater by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, plans to place before tho public the merits of the two municipal bond issues which come for vote on June 3, and further light on the viaduct plans of Commissioner James Weatherly.

WARD SUGGESTS A PUBLIC MEETING
 FOR AUDITORIUM
People Want Auditorium, States President Ward, But Should Be Enlightened As to What Is
 Proposed

That the auditorium committee of the Chamber of Commerce should call pub lie meeting for the purpose of inform ing the people on the plans of trans forming the Roden steel frame into a city hall. library and auditorium that will seat at least 5000 people, is the opinion of Mayor Commissioner George B. Ward. The president of the city com mission stated that this should be done as soon as possible.
 ..The plans to make an auditorium out of the Roden steel frame,'' said Comms- sioner Ward, are now in the hands of the auditorium committee of the Chamber of Commerce. This committee is await ing the return of President Morris Bush to the city before taking any action to- ward making any special recommenda- rions to the city commi ssoners Now. l have a suggestion to make.
 Before submitting the plans to the commission for official action I would suggest to the Chamber of Commerce that public meeting be- called on the matter. Then let competent speaker be selected to talk on the proposed plans in manner that will enlighten the public on what is proposed to be done The vot- CTS of Birmingham really want an audi torium, but they also want to know just what is going to be done first.
 Now. without binding myself to any one particular plan on the auditorium matter. I feel that if some good. sound plan is submitted to the public at a general meeting the commission will be- come enlightened on what is really want ed by the voters As the plan to trans form the Roden steel frame into a com bined city hall. library and auditorium is ready, I think that we should hear of that particular plan first. In other words. let us hear of the merits of this propo- stion and then either accept or reject lit Action and not conversation is. what is wanted on the auditorium at the pres ent time"

 ILLITERACY CAMPAIGN

 Support to the Campaign

, tap root of our troubles as does the illiteracy camgaign now being waged under the Alabama illiteracy commits sion. At the last annual convention of the Alabama treavelers the members de- sirous of aiding in any movement, full of opportunity for service, agreed that the cause of removing .illiteracy be one of the activities of public concern to receive the support of the organization during the year.
 Some weeks ago, in my official ca pacity as president of the organization, I wrote Hon. w. D. Jelks, chairman of the commission, and asked that the travelling men of Alabama be given the opportunity to do service in the great work headed by him. I have recently received a letter setting forth the com
 missions plans for the future, and I am convinced that funds must be had for the work to be carried forward in proportion to it's demands.
 SHOULD BE INDORSED "The Alabama travellers will enter heartily into the button campaign, which is being launched in the state,
 and the local organization will give en- thusiastic support to the Birmingham campaign. We feel that the movement should receive the indorsement of every patriotic Alabamian

course of little talk yesterday ,after-
 noon on circus acts, past and present.
 drew attention to the three features of
 this years show which have made big
 hits with New Workers. One is mule
 and the others are birds The mule is a southern cotton field product. while the birds are from overseas. one from the Black forest and the other the wlds of Australia.
 The mule is Little Fritz, who until four years ago was d plain. every day
 and much-underfed hybrid, whose ad- dress was Birmingham, Ala. One ,day there appeared at a local theatre in Birmingham smalp animal show, known as Petrams circus. Petram at that time owned a very small German mule named Hans, who, by the way, is with the circus this year, and several small ponies. not to mention several dogs and cat. Between performances in Bir
 mingham Petram was taking stroll when his attention was attracted to mule driven by an old plantation negro.
 The moment I saw that mule rec ognized him as one born for the stage
 and not for the cotton farm, said Petram yesterday, and I immediat&c
 hailed the owner and began negotia- tions That darkey proved to be good trader and he got $60 out of me for that mule. Today I wouldn't take S60oo for him. At first I decided to make a bucker out of the mule, but he bucked sc perfectly that the training became a bit dangerous and so l switched to the two step and tango and made him a dancer. It took two years to teach him to waltz.
 and it was only last week that I decided
 to let him do his tango stunt in public Despite the fact that Fritz is not wholly beautiful, l maintain that he is mental4s the greatest mule ever born, and think
 that those who witness his performances will agree with me
 To the person who never has visited our fair city a perusal of the above would lead to the conclusion that Birmingham l was little better than cotton patch but
 at that we rather like publicity, anyhow. and feel somewhat like the little boy
 we would rather be whipped than not no- l tioed.

The fame of Birmingham grows apace, and almost every day one may see in the leading newspapers some reference. com plimentary or otherwise-and we are sorry to say principally otherwise-to the metropolis of the south.
 The unfair and untrue attacks on the good name of the city. brought about by the much quoted articles in the Survey, have been in part refuted. but still the sting remains.
 One of our present commissioners, by his periodical attacks everything and everybody that does not match up to his own particular and peculiar views, has also placed the city in the limelght, but it remained for a lowly--though by no means meek-quadruped of the long -eared variety to place Birmingham sure enough on the map
 Of course we mean no offense when we put the commi ssioner in the same paragraph with the quadruped heretofore mentioned, although it must be confessed that both possess to a marked degree the quality that is the antithesis to docile, and where no offense is meant none should be taken.
 But the fact remains that an humble and by no means beautiful animal has again placed Birmingham in the lime light as the following clipping from the New York Times will show:
 TWO of the biggest assemblages before which the Barnum x Bailey circus ever appeared packed Madison Square Gar den yesterday afternoon and last night.
 There was not a vacant seat at either performance. In the afternoon the jolly throng was made up mostly of children, for whom an April snowstorm has no terrors when the circus is in town.
