URGES FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF FIGHT
 ON TUBERCULOSIS
Solon Jacobs Points Out Im- portance to Birmingham of the Work Now
 Being Done

"The Boy Scouts have a great organ niza- ton, and one well worthy of the support of the people of Birmingham" said Solon Jacobs, president of the Jefferson County Anti Tuberculosis association, but should like to remind those who are get ting refund checks from the reunion con- tributions that such money could be put to no more worthy purpose than in aid of the anti-tuberculosis work. of the county which is now being done under great financial difficulties.
 The fight on tuberculosis Is not spec tacular fight, but I feel that there is nothing of more importance to Birming- hom than keeping it up and sustaining 1t in every way possible Most of our citi- zenS are not familiar with the great work that is being done and that has already been done. It should be source of great pride to know that the tuberculosis death rate in Jefferson county has been reduced fully 50 per cent since the association be- gan it's work. The association has near ly 4000 cases under observation in Bir- mingham, which are watched carefully by our nurses and the victims are as- sisted and taught how to keep from spreading the malady. Surely this is a work that deserves the highest praise and the support of everyone.
 Most people do not realize the serious ness of tuberculosis until it is brought home to them, but they surely can appre- ciate the importance of keeping thou
 sands of cases under surveillance so taht the disease cannot be spread to others. T hope that not only these checks
 | from the reunion fund will be contributed
 l to the tuberculosis fund but that our
 generous citizens will give their financial
 support to this very important work. :"

ACTION DELAYED ON WARRIOR HIGHWAY Members of Board of Reve- nue Discuss Attitude in
 Reference to Build
 ing Highway

Owing to the illness of his mother, Rufe Bivens, member of the board of revenue, has not been able to attend any meeting of the board for several days. The failure of the board of rev. enue to take some kind of action on the matter of the Warrior river high way probably has been due to the ab- sence of this member.
 Whether the board will take action of any kind on the report of the com mittee from the Chamber of Com merce is not known at this time. From expressions from members of the board they are not enthusiastic over the plans submitted by the Chamber of Commerce. Two of the memners of the board made statements yesterday in answer to an editorial in the Ledger. The statements came from two of the members of the board who were not reelected
 In the statements Major Cameron and Hugh McGeever stated that the three men who wer, oot reelected had led the road improvement work in Jefferson county since being elected, but that since the people of the coun- ty did not re-elect them they would not take the initiative in the work of building the highway. Hugh M, Geever stated that he would be willing to do something if the merchants of Bir- mingham would assure him that they wanted the highway for commercial purposes and not merely as a pleasure drive.
 1t is expected however, that when Rufe Bivens can attend the meetings of the board the question will be dis cussed by the board and some kind Of an understanding arrived at.

5OO-TON FURNACE |S BUILT IN LESS THAN
 NINETY DAYS TIME
Wonderful Record Is Made in Construction Work by Cambria Steel Co. in
 JOhnstOwn

F. l.. Estep, chief engineer of the Ten nessee company. in discussing furnace construction yesterday. mentioned the wonderful record made by the Cambria Steel company in constructing a 500-ton blast furnace at Johnstown. Pa., in a rec ord of S5 days.
 The following account of the blowing in of this furnace was printed in the Johnstown Democrat:
 The climax of an epoch making achieve ment in blast furnace construction took place this morning June 3 when Miss Jane ogden. the little daughter of John c. Ogden, applied the torch at the "blow- ing in" of the new No. blast furnace at the Franklin plant of the Cambria Steel company. No. is a furnace with a daily capacity of 300 tons. It was built in exactly S5 days, just five days less than three months.
 This period of construction is without doubt the shorest ever known in the his- tory of blast furnace construction. Build
 ing a furnace in less than six months had never been dreamed of until after two months of construction No. loomed up a nearly completed structure.
 The usual period is from eight months to a year. Occasionally, under pressure. blast furnaces have been built within six to eight months Anything below that had never been dreamed of. About 750 men, under 50 foremen, were engaged day and night in the actual con- struction of the furnace. As many more were engaged in the various departments of the plant, turning out the materials
