CUMBERLAND MEETS CENTRAL HIGH FIVE
 ON. THE B. A. |. COURT
Captain Harrell Will Be Out of Local Line-Up-Ten- nessee Five Slated
 for Defeat

Central High school will take on the Cumberland university five this afternoon at the Birmingham Athletic club at 4 o'clock. Following this game. the cru saders will leave the city after playing here for three days in as many games.
 Although the locals will be somewhat weakened by the loss of Captain liar rell from the lineup, Coach Pritchard will adjust his team so as to present a formid- able lineup. Hahn will be used at cen ter as in previous games where he has played a star game. Montgomery, the boy wonder, will be stationed at forward, while either Dorskey or one of the sub- stitutes, willa be used as a running mate for Montgomery in Harrells place.
 Harrell has been out of practice for about the last two weeks, suffering from bad knee cap, injured in the Auburn game He is fast rounding into form and will probably be back in harness for the next game.
 It is possible that Hahn may be shifted to forward and Hagan placed at center This change, although a speculation, may

B. A. c. FIVE MEETS
 AUBURN TOMORROW. OTHER SPORT NOTES
B. A. [. AND AUBURN
 ID MEET TOMORROW
Coach Brummage May Try
 Out Several Former Stars

Auburn will invade Birmingham again tomorrow, not to acquire any gridiron honors, but to tackle the crack Brming- ham Athletic club basketball five, who re- gently handed out stinging defeat to the Atlanta Athletic club team in game that will long be remembered by local followers of the basket game. The game will start at S:30 o'clock.
 Birmingham, outside of a few minor injuries, is in fine condition for the game. The entire squad is suffering from slight injuries received at the hands of the Would-be rough players or scufflers from the Cracker capital, while latest advices from Atlanta indicate that every mem- Der of the Atlanta team will have suffi- ciently recovered in time for their next game on Saturday night Coach Brummage is undecided as to how he will use his men in the coming game. According to all indcat tions, the locals should have an easy time with the Plainsmen, provided Mike Donahue has not been tampering with them. It is un- derstood that Assistant Coach Louisel has charge of the squad.
 2 The locals should register record score If the Auburn lads will permit it.. The game, although it will not be much more than practice affair for the locals, will give followers of Coach Brummages five last chance to see the team in action before the struggle with Atlanta on Feb ruary D, in Atlanta. f .
 A large delegation will go over with the team and will offer some assistance to Captain McGowan and his cohorts in attempting to again smite the Crackers. A special car will be chartered and Bir- mingham is preparing to make Atlanta sit up and take notice in regard to it's spirit as well as to its basketball team. The game will be a great one.
 Coach Brummage may break in a few new men in the game tomorrow that have not appeared in the locals lineup for several years. This should be a big draw Ing card-not the game-but to see the oid stars rounding into form to help Bir- m1ngham hand out another defeat to At lanta.

HAVE HEALTH DAY
 IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Superintendent Feagin Designates February p for Special Attention
 to Be Given Health Subjects

Montgomery, January 25.-(Special)-In an effort to improve health conditions in the various school districts of the state, Superintendent of Education William F. Feagin has designated February 25 as Health Day, and has issued a bulletin calling upon teachers and friends of ed- ucation throughout the state to see that the day is properly observed.
 "On such an occasion as the observance of Health Day, it is meet and proper that there be full discussion of health condi- tons found in the community, in an effort to better them and to prevent diseases known to be contagious, especially those peculiar to the local environment" said Superintendent Feagin in brief state ment setting out the purposes of the health bulletin.
 In commenting on the health conditions usually found in rural districts, the su- perintendent declared:
 Statistics show that within the last dec- ade the vaunted physical superiority Of country people over those living in the cities has been disproved, and now it is confidently affirmed that for the entire poI ulation, city dwellers are the more healthy. This is not surprising in view of the fact that the congested population in cities has of necessity observed com munity sanitation, and yet even city dwellers cannot boast of too close atten ton to hygienic living conditions
 In conclusion, Superintendent Feagin said:
 Permit me to urge, therefore. whether Health Day be ovserved during this scho- lastic year in any rural community, town, or city, that health conditions in the par ticular locality be thoroughly discussed and plans formulated for their better ment."

 MT Brigham is a singer possessed of bass voice of phenomenal vibrancy and compass and dramatic reader of great breadth and intelligence
 What is more or less suggested by the words becomes in MT. Brigham's hands a series of intensely affecting scenes. As recitalist Mr. Brigham ranks as one of the greatest. His power of painting word pictures is enormous, and his musicanly and pianistic ability, coupled with the remarkable quality and sorority of his voice, conspire together to make him one of the foremost recitalsts of the day"

Why That Wheel
 Turns All Right Now

You would say that wheel with part of the rim gone than wheel at all, and you would be right. If we told you that great vehicle in which you ride every day has been going for many years, until recently, with big gap in of it's wheels you would refuse to believe it. And yet, such is the The vehicle refer to is the progress of the Birmingham district and the defective wheel it's financial system. Note that word, was. Except for this gap, the wheel was fine piece of work solid and strong, but it could not turn it should and it just scraped along the ground, screeching it wen and making 1t very hard for the horses to pull the load.
 Dropping the figure of speech we will say that while our banking facilities ample for the ufacturer the merchant and everybody else who is in business for himself 1t made provision for the working man and the salary earner They could noh borrow money the terms upon which commercial banks could afford to make loans, and consequently, when they in great need of money, they had to turn to the loan shark and sell their salary wages to him. Do you wonder that merchants and real tate agents found it hard to collect money when there none to collect, the loan shark had gotten it all?
 That wheel was scotched all right until little over year ago, when this company put in the Trustees System of Industrial Banking and supplied the miss ing segment of the wheel Since then it has been turning completely around and the big vehicle in which we all ride is moving much more smoothly.
 There is no mystery about industrial banking. It IS simply lending money to working men and salary earners at reasonable rate of interest and terms which they meet without hardship, and also giv- ing them opportunity to invest small sums safely. Hundreds of working have borrowed money from us when they could not raise it anywhere else without making ruinous sacrifices and many others who have had no need to borrow have associated themselves with stockholders.
 Industrial banking is in its infancy in the Brming- ham district but no thinking individual will deny the great good we have already accomplished, or put limitation upon the possibilities of the Trustees Sys- tenn. Yes the wheel is turning all right now

FavOrs Giving the Player More Representation. Should Be Man

Chicago, January 25.-President Johnson of the American league was quoted today az saying he would suggest that ball players be given representation on a new body which he hopes will replace the national commission.
 'The question of player representation is more than possibility" he said. If they are given a representative, he should be a man from their ranks who will look after the rights of the players and also those of the magnates. such a man, for instance, as Sam Crawford of Detroit"

torture, terrorize, preach or pray re- form into a criminal successfully. There must be an effort toward his physical improvement at the same time.
 If your physical self is not in perfect harmony, you are fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.' Can you remember an unkind, un- pleasant word or deed of your own of today or yesterday, that you can not trace directly to a physically imperfect state temporary or chronic?
 Unhealthy words and deeds differ only in degree. Growing at a friend, swearing at an employee-these are symptoms of an off-condition physic- ally. Emphasize and exaggerate that same condition, and you arrive at the physical state with it's similar mental state, which produces greater crime.
 If we begin today with the physical instruction of every child in America, we will rear generations in which crime will be as rare as ill health. The time is coming when there will be a system of gymnasi- ums in our jails and when our courts of law will prescribe healthful eXer- cises in the sentences they impose"

"Jails and penitentiarles are the most expensive development of civi- lization." This is the declaration of Miss Susanna Cocroft, of Chicago, leader in affairs with which women have to do. The scandals at Sing Sing, whose warden has just been in dicted and removed, might have been another story, Miss Cofroft thinks, had more attention been paid to physical causes back of crime.
 Out of years of experience de- voted to the promotion of health, this woman's champion has within recent months been studying the jail re- form problem. The conclusion she has reached is that the world must eradicate the physical causes which promote the crime tendency.
 ''The gospel of good health should go hand in hand with the gospel of good conduct" declared Miss Cocroft, Eff we are ever to have a world in which prisons may be turned to some more profitable use than at the pres ent time.

 If you feel bilious, headachy. consti-. pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 30 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dan gerous calomel.

 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides it may salivate you while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great. full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless pleasant and safe to give to children: they like it.
