there is any one person in Bir-
mingham who knows the riffraff
the down and out" the wretched
and the miserable flotsam and jetsam
of humanity it is Mai. Horace Dodd,
superintendent Of industrial work in
the Salvation Army.
For the past two years Major Dodd
has had charge of this branch of the
Salvation Army's work in Alabama,
Tennessee and Louisiana and the ex-
periences he has had would fill a vol
ume-experiences that have torn his
heart to the very core. and brought
suffering and sympathy to his aching
brain.
Major Dodd is greatly beloved in the
army; he is a man of fine character
and splendid instincts and his earn
estness of purpose and tremendous
sympathy with the outcasts of society
enable him to handle such situations
with tact and diplomacy and the re-
suits that he has had from his work
are gratifying in the extreme.
Thirty-one years ago in Australia
Major Dodd became an officer in the
Salvation Army; he worked IS years
on his native heath (being an AUS
tralian by birth) and three years in
Japan
Major Dodd became an officer I'M
der Commissioner Howard (noW next
to the general of the Salvation Army
in rank) who on November % and %
will hold a conference in Philadelphia
which Major Dodd will attend to dis
cuss plans and arrangements in Sal
walton Army work.
When you stop to think of what
Major Dodd has had to work with
the refuse not only of humanity
but of materials for clothing and food
and lodging-the refuse that his men
pick up at our back doors-the crumbs
from the rich mans table so to speak
when you think of this and how
many a poor. half-crazed demented,
desperate creature has been turned
back to the straight and narrow path
by his care and kindness-why, you
feel just like taking off your hat to
the man and saying, GLORY Halle
1ujahi Thanks be to God there is such
a noble and self-sacrificing one among
usn'
In speaking with Major Dodd a few
days ago about his two years serv-
ice and its results in industrial work
with the Salvation Army in Birming
ham he said, among other interestin g
things:
'The late General Booth conceived
the idea of applying the waste labor
OF our great cities to the waste ma
terial and so save both. He believed
that every man. no matter what his
past failures. character or want of
character may have been should have
his chance to rise again. We also be-
lieve that work is the only safe, sane

Rockefeller breaches Persistence
From Leslie S.

FROM Leslie s.
ST. Paul! IF st. Paul had lived a cou.
pie of thousand years later. he would
have been a captain of industry" This
is the remarky attributed to Mr.. John
d. Rockefeller after hearing a sermon in
Cleveland in which ST. Paul was held up
as a model of power and forcefulness.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that PauPs virtue
was that he was persistent and that per.
sstent men got to the top, that natural
leaders are rare and reap rich rewards
in business and industrial life, for every
line of commercial effort offers them big
opportunities. These are simple plain
truthful words from the mouth of the
most successful captain of industry the
world has known. Persistence, patience
and assiduity have as great rewards to-
day for the young man who possesses
these virtues as they had 50 years ego
when Mr.. Rockefeller was working i6
hours day in country store for a sal
airy of So week.

who came to our door a few weeks age"
These are only q few instances" Major
Dodd said, 'but they are typical. also
wish you could see the dozens of letters
get from men who have left the In
dustrial Home and gone out into the
world to make a cog in the big wheels
of life, which heretofore they had never
thought they were fitted for. 1 cite
these instances just to let the people of
Birmingham know that what we are do
ing at the Industrial Home has It's re-
wards, and when our wagons call for
the old clothes and shoes and refuse at
their back doors, each article they are
kind enough to give us may mean the
salvation of some poor down and out
creatures SOUL" .y

and sure way to accomplish this; that
| the giving indiscriminately to all who
| ask instead of helping has the oppo-
| site effect; therefore we apply the Ia
| Dor test to all who seek our help.
| Our work has been conducted along
| these lines for about 10 years in the
city of Birmingham. For two years
October l. 1914. to October 1, 1876
1 have had the direct charge of our
| local work.
During the year of 1915 which we
all know" Major Dodd continued, was
an exceptionally hard year, 1914 per-
sons were relieved, in that an oppor-
| tunity was given them to at least show
their Willingness to work that their
needs might be supplied. Not only were
these 1914 persons sheltered and fed,
but were brought in touch with good
influences. AS we believe no perma
nent reformation will be effective un-
less the heart is reached by grace, re-
ligious services were conducted at
which 1897 persons attended; 1864
meals were served anda 12.142 nights
lodgings were supplied; free meals
were given to 367 persons who did not
work, also 653 beds. Each man who en-
ters the home at the weeks end re-
ceives a little money according to his
willingness to work. This grant is In
creased weekly so that on leaving, if
he is careful. he is not without means
In this way many have been enabled
to return to their friends or pass on
to other cities seeking work. The
amount of $3764.85 was distributed
among the men. outside relief dis
tributed amounted to s215.30, consist
ing of shoes, clothing, furniture, groc
cries, etc, to 1876 persons or families.
During the nine months of the present
fiscal year, despite the fact that the
commercial conditions are vastly i'm
proved, we have been called upon to
relieve and shelter 1881 individuals;
more than 20 of these have left the
home to accept good positions; 20
0O4 meals have been provided; also 1855
beds have been supplied. Outside re-
lief administered. meals 49, beds 463.
to casuals 289 pieces of clothing and
furniture; total valued at s26630 has
been given away. making total of
2045 persons helped for the "a months
under review"
This has been accomplished without
the cost to the city or the public of cent
in cash." said Major Dodd. THE whole
cost, or nearly so, has been produced out
OF waste material consisting of second
hand and broken furniture cast-off cloth
ing and shoes, rags, newspapers and mag
azines; these have been collected from
the residential section of the city; waste
paper has been collected from the ware
| houses and streets of the business section.
BY applying the labor of the inmates
to these materials and thus making them
of marketable value their sale
has almost entirely financed this great
work This in itself is a wonderful
achievement"
"a foolish and erroneous idea has got
abroad" he continued. that we are

TYPOGRAPHY, invented about 1870
years ago, has acquired such impor-

 In the meantime, however, thl Fairbanks Commercial club get busy in another way. The aid of the commerC ial bodies of all of tEy cities of the Pacific coast was SO licited. They were asked to me morialize their congressmen and senators in regard to the transPor tatiOn of mail in interior Alaska All of them sent favorable replies to the communications of the Ioeal commercial organization and, while it is known that great deal of credit for the victory rests With Fairbanksans proper, it is bellcred that the influence of the Outsid. commercial organizations helped the most toward the recent Ieci sion of the second assistant pest master general.
 Fairbanks will therefore get all of the mail now accumulated at Sc attle and Cordoya subject only to the actual delay in transporting it Heretofore it has been practically impossible to get parcels post mat ter through on time as well as fargo quantities of second class matter.

 All of the defendants in the three rape cases were in court at differ ent times during the past week. The arraignments were first in order, Then came the usual motions and demurrers on the part of the Vari- ous attorneys for the defendants, fOrerunnerS Of the lengthy ana hard fought legal battles which are expected to take place when the cases are brought to trial. All of the defendants pleaded mot guilty" to the crimes charged when brought into court to plead.
 The motion presented to the court was that of Leroy ToZieT, attorney for the defendant Callahan. It asked that the indictment against Callahan be quashed on the grounds that the present term of court was not legally called and that the grand jury therefore had no authority to inquire into any court matters as a judicial body, criminal or otherwise.
 Judge Charles E. Bunnell took the matter of the motion under ad- visement until the next morning, when he allowed it to be filed as court record. He then stated that he wished the record to show that Attorney Tozier had presented the motion without offering proof substantiating it's allegations when he had the chance of doing so. The exception taken by the attorney was then allowed.
