INJUNCTION SUIT IS IN THE HANDS
 OF JUDGE SHARPE
Expect Decision to Be Handed Down About the Middle of the
 Week

With the briefs of both sides now in the hands of Judge H. A. Sharpe, an early decision on the Mcdonald injunc- tion suit against the city commission CTS use of the sinking fund created by constitutional act is anticipated. It Is expected that Judge Sharpe will hand down his decision about the middle of the week.
 Through his attorneys. T. c. McDon- aid slightly amended his bill yester- day, but the salient points remain in tact.
 Opinion regarding the case is very divergent, but it appears that the pub lie views the whole affair with indif- ference. The dark side of the situation painted by various commissioners if the city should lose the case has not af- fected anyone in particular. as the pes simism of the commission is not shared by the general public. Opinion among the legal fraternity appears to range on the possibility of an emergency decis- lion.
 It Is contended that at various times an emergency construction is given to certain statutes and legal words ir order not to wreck existing arrange
 ments. It is regarded that the city commissioners have some hope in an emergency decision, but very little oth- erwiSe.

EMPLOYES OF l.. & N.
 TO BE PAID TWICE
 MONTHLY IN FUTURE
Unofficial Announcement Made in Birmingham Yesterday-Effect-
 i've in Many Other States

The payment of the employees of the Louisville and Nashville railroad semi monthly instead of one each month be- comes effective this month, according to unofficial announcement made here yesterday. The exact dates for the semi monthly payments have not yet been announced.
 The fact that number of the states had already adopted laws requiring the payment of men twice each month was assigned as the reason for the change by the Louisville and Nashville. It was stated that since these payments had to be made in most of the states, it was found advisable to adopt the same sys- tenn, even in the states which had not yet passed semimonthly pay bills. It will be recalled that a bill requiring twice monthly payments was consid- cred at the recent session of the Ala bama legislature but after much dis cussion it was finally dropped.

I'M. |. A. IS BUSY
 AMONG SOLDIERS Over 10000 Letters Written on Y. M. c. A. Stationery
 at Montgomery

Two of the busiest places at the mo- blization camp of the Alabama state troops at Montgomery are the examina- ticn office and the Young Mems Chris tian association shed. Adjutant General Hubbard has assigned to the Young Mems Christian association for its head quarters a long shed, and it is crowded from in the morning until 10 at night.
 Secretary Stallings returned from Mont gomery last night and says that during the first five days of the mobilization camp the men have written over 10000 letters on Young Mems Christian asso- citation stationery, and are crowdng the Young Mems Christian association head quarters to the limit, using its facilities. Letters are pouring in by every mail from mothers and relatives requesting the as- sociation to look after their boys, and the two secretaries in charge are working night and day, serving the home folks as well as the men under arms A large supply of games has been provided and these are kept in use all the time The association is working in cooperation with the officers and chaplain and it is the most popular place at the mobiliza- tion camp.
 An effort is being made by the finance committee of the state committee to finance this important work, and several of the cities are lining up in splendid shape. This committee has sent group Of Birmingham men a letter requesting their support and, no doubt, it will re- ceive hearty response. The association expects to send secretaries and tent to the Mexican border with the soldiers to serve them in every way possible to add to their comfort as well as their welfare

.LOVELADY ISSUES
 LLFOR WORK ON
 GOOD ROADS DAYS
Wants Patriots to Take Pick and Shovel and Do Some Real
 Work

President R. F. Lovelady of the board of revenue issued a call yesterday to all patriotic citizens to form community meetings to aid in Good Roads Days on August 14 and 15. On those two days it is the intention of Dr. Lovelady to
 have all citizens who have the interest and shovel and do some work in better ing the roads of Jefferson county.
 Following is the call Of Dr. Lovelady:
 ITO the people of Jefferson county:
 Under an act of the legislature of 1915, August 14 and 15 of each year are
 set apart as Good Roads Day in Ala
 bama.
 Considerable progress has been made
 in the last two or three years toward
 enlisting the interest and cooperation of
 the people in this state in the building of good roads.
 We are waking up to the importance of the subject as a money making in~
 vestment. We are beginning to realize it's
 value as social uplift and betterment of general conditions.
 If anyone could take his farm and
 move it half way to his county seat it's value would be doubled. Any farmer will
 willingly give two days of his time to help move his good neighbor half the dis tance close to him. Such effects are. in reality, created by the betterment of roads.
 We are therefore. helping both our selves and our neighbors by doing some thing toward building or repairing the public roads of our county. Is it too much, therefore, tc ask that every citi- zen of this county of Jefferson give to | his county and state two days of his time on August 14 and 15 of this year, 1916, to help in thes Good roads move ment?
 AS president of the board of revenue ! of Jefferson county, I therefore call upaU I all patriotic citizens to form commua | nity gatherings for the purpose of join | ing in the Good roads movement and | to observe Good Roads Day on August | IA and 15, and to do something that will ! emphasize your interest in the subject | and which may be an effectual help. By doing so you will have answered a patriotic call and will have performed | a public service. R. F. LOVELADY, | President of the Board of Revenue of | Jefferson County"

THE CORRESPONDENCE
MT. George B. Ward, President City Commission, City

 MT. George B. Ward, President City Commission, City.
 My Dear Sir: I take pleasure in ad- vising you that I am prepared to recom- mend to the Southeastern Underwriters association, with the assurance of their concurrence in the recommendation, that the b per cent penalty be removed from the fire insurance rate of Birmingham, on the following conditions, namely: "1. That the work at present being done by the Birmingham fire prevention com mittee shall be continued without relax ation.
 ''2. That the present force of inspectors employed by you shall be maintained un- til a reduction in the force should be recommended by the fire prevention con- mittee, and approved by the Southeastern Underwriters association.
 3. That the present number of fremen and policemen will be maintained, and as soon as your finances shall have war ranted you in doing so, you will increase the number of firemen, especially in the outside districts, and the number of po- llcemen, especially in the congested value on business district
 A. That the present fire alarm system shall be maintained until the financial condition of the city shall justify the installation of a new and modern sys- tenn.
 'In the event of substantial failure to comply with these conditions at any time the association would feel warranted in restoration of the penalty charge to the rates of Birmingham, if that course should be considered advisable by them but of course. in that event. ample mo- tice would be given, so that an agree ment might be arrived at which would prevent the necessity for any such &C., ton.
 May I ask you to kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter, and I should be glad to have your asurance that 1t meets with the views of your commission
 With much respect, I beg to remain, yours very truly,
 MILTON DARGAN. Chairman Birmingham Committee ot Southeastern Underwriters Association. :.

 Tn fact. the city expects to be more diligent than ever. as long as 1t has funds, in its efforts to minimize fire risk whether the penalty comes off or stays on Therefore, on behalf of the commis- sion and the people of Birmingham, we wish to thank you personally and your association for this substantial recogni. tion of the work of the fire department and the magnificent showing it has made in reducing losses.

SAME APATHY IN TROPICS

I have seen this same apathy in the tropics toward smallpow, simply because Qike typhoid with us) it was practically always present few years from now a case of typhoid will be looked on with as | much concern as case of smallpox now l excites. A case of typhoid is just as much | a menace to the public health as is a case
 of smallpox. Vaccination is just as com plete a protection against typhoid Cor ! more so) as Is vaccination against small pox. You can, according to law, vacci- nate a man against smallpox, and put one of his arms out of commission for two or three weeks; then why, in heavens name, can't you vaccinate him against typhoid fever, also according to 1 law by a procedure that in S5 per cent. of the cases will detain him from his busi- ness but 15 minutes-five minutes for each of three vaccinations? In hundreds of | thousands of vaccinations against typhoid I have not seen recorded single death l or serious accident. The cost to the city | and the people would be at least no greater than the loss to the people in | lives, loss of time from business, cost of | hosptalization, nurses, doctors, medi- cines and sick room necessities. It has absolutely put typhoid out of the army and navy because they had the power to | enforce it. We have the same power in different form. and typhoid can be put | out of Birmingham just as surely. So much for vaccination.
 REQUIRE SCREENS BY LAW | The second suggestion I would offer is | the passage of an ordinance requiring that every building in the corporate linn | it's of Birmingham used as residence, hotel or restaurant be effectively
