 Two

James A. Mitchell, who has been cited to appear before the Alabama supreme court tomorrow on charge of contempt, announced yesterday that he was read to answer the charge. MT. A.itchell stated. however, that he thought it highly probable that he would be forced to ask for a continuance of the case for day or two on account of the inability of one of his attorneys to attend tomor- row. He anticipated that there would be no hesitation on the part of the court in granting the requested de'av H. U. Sims and Judge C.. C. Nesmith are of counsel for the defendant in the case.

I am confident that the court will dismiss the charge against me with out delay. Further than this, I could not discuss the case nor can I outline what my defense will be-
 MT.

EXPLAINS WORK OF FREE D|SPENSARY Tells How It Differs From That Done by the Hillman
 Hospital

Referring to the university free dis pensary now being erected on Avenue F. near the Hillman hospital. Dr. w. c. Harrison, who has been actively inter- ested in the development of this institu- ton, was asked yesterday for state ment on the plans contemplated.
 q hope it may be clearly understood that the real service and purpose of a free dispensary in no way duplicates or overlaps the work of the Hillman hospi- tal," he said.
 "The dispensary differs from a hospital in the simple fact that patients do not remain there. but go for examination, advice, medicine and surgical dressings. It has no beds It consists of waiting rooms, examination rooms, laboratories, and general equipment for thorough ex- aminations and minor surgical opera tions It has a pharmacy where pre- scriptions are compounded
 "A modern dispensary necessarily con- sists of several departments, each attend ed by specialists-medicine, surgery, dis eases of children, nervous diseases, skin diseases. tuberculosis, dental disorders.
 "In this way the poorest of the people are served by number of specialists and necessarily get better help than could otherwise be available.
 This close grouping of physicians al lows free consultations among them and this is especially desirable in obscure dis eases.
 "Only about two-thirds of the funds have been paid in and unless the remainder is promptly collected some department of the dispensary will suffer. Personally, ] believe the tuberculosis and dental de- partments are, if possible. the most inn portant and they should not be curtailed in any particular. Probably once or may be twice week some Birmingham fam fly has been notified by the dispensary | physician that one of their employees has an infectious malady. In this way the dispensary accomplishes much good ir preventing disease.''

SPRING DRESS-UP
 CAMPAIGN STARTS

People to Don Gala Attire and City Beautiful Idea Carried Out in Residential
 and Business Sections 

The spring dress up campaign starts tomorrow morning with the rising of the sun and of the lark and of Bir- mingham.
 The merchants are ready, as their advertisements in The Age-Hera1d and their window displays will attest.
 The spring dress up campaign does not end until April S-two weeks of being dressed up-but the merchants urge the importance of making pur- chases as early as possible in order that the spring stocks might not be ''pawed over" by thousands of pur- chasers before on gets a chance at them.
 The psychological effect of being dressed up is being hammered at the people of Birmingham through news paper advertisements and through the display windows of the stores. The advertising men agree that well dressed man usually is an efficient man. They agree that a man who is

pressure for largely increased border forces, it is said, has come from Con- gress There is nothing to indicate that General Funston had asked for addition al men or that he feels alarm over the situation confronting him.
 Another proposal for call for volun- teers found it's way into Congress to- day. A joint resolution directing the President to immediately call 10000 volun- teers for term of service to last until peace is sufficiently restored in Mexico to guarantee protection to American life and property was introduced by Repre- sentative Dyer of Missouri MT. Dyer is the head of the Spanish war veterans national organization and the resolution provides that preference shall be given in this volunteer enlistment to the militia and the United Spanish War veterans.

slothful in the matter is never an ef- ficient man. Therefore, at recent meeting of the Ad club they decided to inaugurate a spring dress up cam paign, such as had been outlined to members of the club in letters from other cities where the idea had been carried to a successful conclusion. The Birmingham Ad club immedi- . ately got busy. It was ascertained that March 27 to April is the date on which something like 100 other cities throughout the country had decided upon for their spring dress up cam paigns. It was decided to institute such campaign in Birmingham as a fitting follow-up of Fashion Week.
 WELL DRESSED MAN
 The idea is not to make money It goes farther than that. The adver- Using writers decided upon it because they so often come in contact with slothfulness on the part of those who should know better They believe that if man Is well dressed he has more confidence in his ability; that he can do more and better work than he could do if he were slovenly in his dress.
 The ad men thought that if all Bir- mingham could be made to see what d U elleSI TUT SOOu WOuIu result from the entire city were well dressed, the spring dress up campaign would be worth the effort.
 Therefore, spring dress up starts to- morrow. The people of Birmingha are requested to have their lawns trimmed; the men are requested also to have their faces trimmed. The in tention is to get all Birmingham to freshen up, to use paint, to put in new furniture where needed, and to paint both inside and out to put on their best clothes, and to keep them neatly brushed-tO try to be well dressed for two weeks, and see if you are not more efficient than when the campaign Started.
