kindly remembered by NJ. s. Meats

More time spent in home study
will give us better quality of
high school work and will ma
terially aid in reducing the num-
Der of failures. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the students who
do superficial work in their high
school course are rarely ever able
to do creditable work in college.
The foundation should be am
ply broad to support the super
structure. Students, time spent
in intense study will have it's re-
ward. tsaI
Parents, you can greatly help
the schools by getting your, boys
and girls to do more thorough
home study

is intense; the runners are tread

him who stops to tye his shoe

Housing Committee
 Waits Cards Answered

Have you offered your home to the Confederate Veterans?
 Have you answered the appeal of the housing committee?
 The housing committee of the Cham Der of Commerce in charge of accom- odating the thousands of visitors ex- pected for the Confederate Veterans reunion is very anxious that each per son in Birmingham who received a card asking for rooms answer the cards at once, provided an answer has not been sent to the committee. Chairman F. w. Dixon, yesterday at the meeting of the housing committee, pointed out that a vast number of the cards had not been answered, and this neglect was rendering the work of the com mittee very much more difficult. He expressed the hope that everyone would notify the committee at once more visitors during the reunion.
 In addition to emphasizing the ne- cessity for an immediate answer to this appeal Chairman Dixon reported at the meeting yesterday that the df- rectors of the Alabama State Fair as- sociation, at a meeting yesterday, granted the request of the housing committee for the use of the fair buildings and the permanent camp will be placed there during the reunion. The directors requested that ample fire pro- tection be secured as well as 'watchmen and this will have the careful atten- ton of the housing committee. The ac- ton of the directors of the state fair was unanimous, and there was evil denced gratifying spirit of co-op- eration between the fair directors and the members of the Chamber of Com merce committee.

INITIAL STEPS ARE
 TAKEN ID OPEN UP
 N|NETEENTHSTREE7
City Decides to Force Rail- roads to ActiOn-Services of We'll Known AttOr-
 neys Are Accepted

The city commission yesterday took the initial step in it's plan for grade separa- tions and decided to begin at once the necessary action to open up Nineteenth street from Morris avenue to Powell ave- nue. The action was decided on follow ing the presentation of strongly worded petition on the part of property owners and citizens asking that immediate &C., ton be taken. The delays and the ob- stacles which had been thrown in the path of this improvement in the past were reviewed and the railroad interests were given credit for blocking past ef- forts in this line.
 T. H. Motion headed a committee of 50 men who presented the petition to the commission. The legal services of Harsh, Harsh & Harsh were offered in aiding the city to carry out it's plans, and the commission gladly availed itself of the offer
 Resolutions were introduced by Com missioner Weatherly asking for the CO., operation of the newspapers and the Chamber of Commerce.
 The resolution asking for the support of the Chamber of Commerce met with objections on the part of MT. Motion.
 Several years ago this matter came before the Chamber of Commerce. It was referred to the directors of that body, who passed it on to the committee on civic Improvements. This committee unanimously indorsed the movement, but l.. Sevier, one of the directors, objected, saying the chamber should not go into politics. The indorsement was pigeon holed and has not since been brought out
 The railroads have men on guard in the Chamber of Commerce and have had for 20 years. The Chamber of Commerce is a big, representative organization, but when it comes to railroads, the people simply are not in it. They will pigeon-hole the resolution again.
 Commissioner Hornady and Commission CT Ward spoke strongly in favor of the matter, and it was declared that the opening of the street should be carried through without any unnecessary delay.

P RENEWALS FIRST x
 DAY OF CAMPAIGN
Whites Are Showed Under by Crim- sons in Y. M. C. A. Work.
 Lunches We'll Attended

The first days report of the '. M. c. A. campaign was one of the most encour- aging possible With only halliday ef- fort, 72 renewals were reported at the din- ner yesterday at noon. While the Whites, under the leadership of Chairman Shelby, were showed under by the Crimson, di- rected by Chairman Hopson, there is every indication that the tables will be turned at the noon-day meeting today. The Whites are on the move and all yes- terday afternoon they could be seen on the streets pushing the campaign. The report today is expected to be sur- prise.
 The high man yesterday was Chairman Hopson, and he is wearing a smile which has the expression of winner. His five captains arc working as unit, and the results of theeirS efforts were seen in the reports yesterday.
 The noon-day lunches are well attended, and the enthusiasm is boundless at times. At the lunch yesterday, Captain Pritch- ard of the Crimson challenged Captain Townsend of the Whites for contest for "A hours, and their friends are looking for remarkable reports today.

SLOSS DIRECTORS RETURN EAST AFTER
 INSPECTION TOUR
No Decision Reached Re- garding By-Product Ovens. Much Pleased With Evi-
 dence of Improvement

The committee of the Sheffield Steel and Iron company directors who have been in Birmingham for the last two weeks, have finished the work of inves- tigation, and the several members have left the city.
 No decision was reached regarding the building Of by-product ovens. for the visit was solely for the purpose of investigation and doubtless sometime will elapse before final decision can be reached.
 The committee visited the mines and plants of the company, and also visited the mines and furnaces in the northern end of the state, and made thorough examination of same. They also visited some of the by-product plants in this vi- cinity and were greatly impressed with the results that were being obtained
 Incidentally, 1t might be mentioned that a representative of one of the companies who build by-product ovens told the com- mittee that information received by his company from Germany showed that at the present time practically no coal was being used in that country, except in the form of coke, as the need of the govern ment for the by-products of coal was so great that the use of the raw coal was forbidden so far as was practicable.
 In this connection, it Is interesting to imagine what would happen if such condi- tions obtained in this country on sud- den declaration of war and the supply of Chilean nitrate, on which the govern ment depends, were cut off.
 It has bene stated that the DuPont Pow der company in one order bought three times as much Chilean nitrate as the United States government has on hand for their entire supply.
 The committee expressed itself as pleased with the evidence of business inn provement in the Birmingham district

Want to Know Where They Stand. Luncheon for General Hooper Post poned-Wilzin Tells of Lessons
 Learned in the 1908 Reunion

Irwin S. Cobb, distinguished Ken humorist, and by many literary critics classed as greater than Mark Twain will deliver the chief oration at the re- union of the Confederate Veterans her, May 16, IT and IS. In a letter to Gen. Bennett H. Young, commander in chic of the veterans, MT. Cobb has accepted the invitation to deliver the principa address of the reunion.
 His reply to General Young, writer lows:
 New York, April 1.
 My Dear General Young: Re- alizing, as I do. my own unwor- thiness for the service you would have me perform, but overcome, as I am. with gratitude and pride, that the very highest honor which can ever come to the son of Confederate soldier has been bestowed upon me, &C., cept the invitation extended by you as commander in chief, to deliver the oration at this years reunion of the United Confederate Veterans association in Birmingham.
 "At the same time, let me warn you, sir, that I have none of the graoes of the trained orator, nor none of the qualifications of the natural orator. Never until about year ago did undertake pub lie speaking from platform, and the kindliness of the audiences that greeted me did not blind me to my own short comings as a speak CT.
 Mine must be, therefore, but poor effort. l can only promise to tell my fathers comrades what it means to me to be an American citizen and a son of Confederate. I am, sir, with profound regards and sincere thanks to you,
 IRWIN S. COBB."
