COMMISSION HAS
 VERY QUIET DAY

The weekly meeting and the confer- ence of the city commissioners yesterday were the dullest held in many moons. There was simply nothing doing outside of the most prosaic routine.
 The afternoon meeting, which ratified the action of the morning conference, was over in a very few minutes A few inn provement ordinances of minor nature were adopted, monthly bills and pay rolls were approved, and without discussion the meeting adjourned and the commits soners went their several ways.
 The only action of any moment was the adoption of an ordinance for the improve ment of Thirty third avenue, north, from Fifteenth to Seventeenth streets. It pro- vides for the grading, curbng, gutters and sidewalks and was awarded to J. L.. Mullarky, whose bid was S39435O
 The morning conference lasted only two hours, an unusually short time, and the routine matters passed at the afternoon meeting were discussed. The business was dispatched with the utmost smooth ness and nothing occurred during the day to mar the peace and quietude of the commission.

SOUTHERN TO MAKE
 SEVERAL CHANGES
Time Between Birmingham and East Shortened as Result of Putting
 on New Local Trains

The Southern railway will make sev eral changes in the schedules of it's trains, effective December 10. Passen- and other eastern points, will arrive earlier than heretofore, by virtue of changes east of Atlanta.
 The new train that has been ordered into operation between Birmingham and Heflin will result in other changes. This train will leave Birmingham at 3:35 D. m. and will return from Heflin at 12 :25 a. m. With the installation of this train the train known as No. "A and No. 23 will be relieved of local work between Bir- mingham and Heflin and hence will travel with greater dispatch.
 No. 24 will leave at APO p, m. instead of o'clock. No. 23 will arrive in Bir- minghan, at 12:0S D. m. instead of l2:.5 D. m. These two trains will stop only at Pell City and Anniston between Bi- mingham and Heflin, doing the same local work east of Hefin.
 By virtue of some changes east of At lanta, in the work of No. 36, which is known as the "U. S. Fast Mail" better time will be made between Atlanta and Washington. Instead of arriving at Washington at 11:30 p. m., the train will reach the capital at 10:30. A through sleeping car from Birmingham to New York connects with No. 36 which leaves Atlanta at one minute past midnight Central time.
 The savings in time have come from the elimination of local work between Atlanta and Charlotte, N. c.
 James Freeman assistant general pas senger agent of the Southern, an- nounced the changes yesterday.

rushed to completion. The haste is made necessary by the coal shortage, which has seriously hampered the DeBardelebea company in keeping LID with it's large contracts in Mobile and New Orleans for the past several months The company s mines at Sipsey are located several miles from the river front at Cordova, and, due to the delays in getting cars to haul the product these few miles, it has been impossible to supply the coal necessary to keep the towbo oats and barges en- gagged.
 It was announced that the operations at Sipsey would not be diminished in the least, and that as fast as cars can be secured, shipments will be made as in the past by rail to Cordova and water to the gulf. Additional towboats and barges will be provided when the SUD- ply of railroad cars again reaches nor nal.
 The DeBardeleben company has a large trade in bunker coal at both Mobile and New Orleans. As soon as the mines at Warriver begin operation. the coal des- tined for New Orleans will be sent as far as Mobile in the barges of the company and there transferred to the sea-going steel self -propelling barges of the Ala bama- New Orleans Transportation com pany. Other barges of this company are now hauling coal for the Tennessee com pany and the DeBardeleben compa nies on the Warrior and Tombigbee and on to Mobile and New Orleans through the Lake Borgne canal.

Physicians Believe Board Will Yet See Wisdom of Carrying Out Fox Plan
 for the County
HARRINGTON IS
 CATHOLIC, SAYS
 DR.LLOYD HOLLAND
But Thinks This No Reason for Board to Jeopardize the County's Health by
 Withholding Funds

Physicians were very much exercised yesterday at the action of the board of revenue in passing a resolu- tion late Monday afternoon resembling the appropriation Iof $15,000 for a unified health system, which they regarded as an attempt to influence the Jefferson Medical society in it's cleo tion of an all-time health officer.
 They appreciated, however, the spirit shown by the board in again voting the health officers salary yes terday morning and felt sure the board would do it's full part in making the county health work a success.
 "In announcing that it was time to call "a spade spade," said Dr. Lloyd Nolan, well known member of the Jefferson County Medical society, q referred to the rumor current in the medical society that the board of reve- nue opposed the election of Dr. F. E.. Harrington, the United States health expert, because of his religious af- filiations.
 "If the board of revenue means
 to nulIify the many months of
 work already contributed by ex-
 perts, and to seriously hamper the
 efforts of the man selected by the
 surgeon general of the United
 States public health service as the
 most capable expert who could be
 secured to put health conditions
 of Jefferson county on proper
 basis, because this man happens to
 be a member of the Catholic
 church. then every citizen of Jeff
 ferson county should know it.
 If this is not the intention of the board, it behooves them to make proper appropriation for this all-important work and to give the movement for better health conditions in Birmingham and in Jefferson county their unqualified sup port.
 Dr. Harrington is the man that is needed to head unified health system in Jefferson county, and the fair-minded men and women of this county should frown on any attempt to thwart this mans work by bringing in the issue of religion. I want the plan of pr. Carroll Fox carried out, and Dr. Harrington is the man to do it, and do it right
 BOARD ACTS AGAIN

Should Gov Charles Henderson see whole flock of red-capped porters running pell-mell in his direction the next time he arrives in Birmingham, he should not be surprised For there is a reason.
 In the inner circles of the red-capped baggage swingers 1t has been bruited about that if Governor Henderson was chief executive in Mississippi or South Carolina he might be haled up before the courts and fined. For in the aforemen- tioned commonwealths, there is an anti tip law and the governor Is now known to be reckless tipper.

JEFFERSON READY
 FOR TAX ELECTION

Jefferson county is ready for a vote on the school tax increase of mills, in the opinion of City Commissioner John R. Hornady
 This statement was made by Mir Hornady following the publication of an interview with State Superintend- ent of Education Feagin warning the counties not to be In too great haste and not to hold the elections until they were certain of success.
 superintendent Feagin is exactly right in his warning" said Mir. Horn ady, but 1t does not apply to Jef- ferson county. We think the time is ripe here and we feel confident of success when the measure comes up February 6. This county favored the amendment by a majority of over 5000 and it is reasonable to suppose that with the right kind of campaign 1t will go by a large majority for the B. mill tax"

GOVERNOR MAKES HIT
 WITH RED CAPS HERE

Louisville and Nashville station Thanks giving night Arthur Clark, one of the red caps, carried two small grips from the taxicab and placed them on the Pull man. The governor asked the porter if it was he who had done the service. Mechanically, the smiling menial took off his hat, extended his hand, and said, Vas sah!' Between his chocolate digits the governor placed $1 25 in silver.
 The amazed porter could not retain the news of his good fortune and hence the keen vigil that the porters are keep ing.
 'I shore would lak to have regular job with the guv'nor at them wages" Clark said. ''He is shore some guv'nor"
