FIRE PREVENTION
DAY IS OBSERVED
Contrast Between Old Fash
Toned Fire Apparatus and
Modern Equipment

Yesterday, As years ago, COW that
was being MIXED by the light of a
lamp in Chicago, became fractions and
kicked over an fashioned oil lamp.
The lamp ignited the straw in the lot
where the COW was being MIXED,
spread to the barn. from the barn to
the dwelling and thence to more than
$4,000 dwellings, business houses and
large structures, causing the greatest
conflagration in the history of the
world
is now looked upon by the older peo-
pie and referred to as the great Chi
cago fire"
Every city of any consequence in
the United States celebrated what is
known as fire prevention day yes
terday. Birmingham, being a city of
much consequence and incidentally the
only city in the United States whose
entire fire department is devoid or
horse-drawn fire apparatus. celebrated
the occasion fittingly.
The school children of Birmingham
heard addresses by fire prevention
were held at the Ensley and Central
High schools, where the danger of fire
and the necessity of checking it in it's
beginning was impressed upon the
minds of the listeners.
big parade, in which 20 pieces of
modern fire apparatus was exhibited
took place yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock. An old-fashioned reel and a.
truck of the bygone days was promi-
nently displayed to show the contrast
in the present day method of fighting
the flames as compared with the old
style and Anticipated apparatus of days
never to return.
The parade circled about the CITY
on all the principal streets and end
ed in East Park, where demonstra-
ton of modern methods of fire fight
ing was shown to the large assemb-
lage of spectators.
Birmingham's fire record has been
decreased more than 40 per cent dur
ing the past IL months. Fire depart
ment reports show that 80 per cent OF
the fires are put out by chemicals, and
that it is rarely necessary to use wa
ter in quenching the flames.
When fire was fought with the aid
of horse-driven apparatus nine times
out OF ten the flames had progressed
so far that all the water available had
to be used to control the fire. To-
day, with a modernized fire depart
ment, the response to an alarm is SO
quick that the flames are put out
before they reach any great fury.
The local fire prevention society, of
which H. G. Seibels is president, has
been the main factor in preventing
fires during the past IS months The
programme yesterday was arranged
through this committee with the CO.
operation of the civic authorities

Inns syncopated melange of music.
Watch Your Step" will be presented
at the Jefferson, matinee and night,
Thursday.
The piece fairly radiates with syn
copated life and it's music cannot be
compared with that of any similar pro-
duction. Mr.. Berlin did big thing for
the Dillingham; production when he
wrote the words and music for the
various numbers, all typical of their
authors style.
The production is an expensive and
admirable one. The piece is beautifully
mounted. A cast of stars has been as
sembled. The chorus was trained by
r.. H. Burnside, which is sufficient
voucher for its merits. The girls have
good voices, beauty and plenty of gin
ger. And their costumes are as gorge
Gus as they are infinite in variety.
watch Your Step" is a show that fills
the eve and ear. Don't miss it.

PUSHED WITH VIGOR
Thee campaign for the adoption OF
the educational amendment to the con-
stitution will be pushed with great
yigor in Jefferson county until the eve
of the election in November, Many OF
the best known and ablest speakers
in the county have volunteered their
services and the merits of the educa-
tional amendment will be presented in
practically every precinct.
The first oratorical volleys of the
week were discharged at the county
courthouse yesterday morning, where
three addresses were delivered just
before the courts organized for the
week. The speakers were Senator Frank
5. White, who appeared in the city
court; Borden Burr, who spoke in the
circuit court, and Earl Pettus, who
was heard In the criminal court The
several courtrooms were turned over
to the speakers at 9:45 o'clock and they
held the floor until 1890. All of the
judges entered heartily into the spirit
of the campaign for improved educa-
tional opportunities and gladly CO.
operated with the campaign commit
tee in spreading the knowledge of what
the proposed amendment means to Ala
bamians.
These courtroom meetings will be
held every Monday morning until the
time of the election and many distin-
guished speakers will be heard dur
ing this time. While it is thought the
audiences will be made up largely OF

lieved that every courtroom will be
crowded.

a number of comedy cherus girls who
work hard and keep smiling throughout
the action of the play. To. look at
two or three of the chorus one would

more than a score of girls in the chorus.
The costumes are bright and appropriate.

are good and the comedians-Will Fox

talent. Miss Richarcs is the possessor
