Upstairs Clothes Shop to
 Be Opened by GolsOn

Birmingham is to have an elevated clothing store in which mems ready-to- wear suits and overcoats will be sold at s15 exclusively, according to state- ment made by o. S. Golson, who will be in charge of the new shop.
 MT. Golson, known as "Lige," is one of the most popular clothing salesmen in this district and his numerous friends will no doubt rally to his support in this novel venture.
 ''Up-stairs shops in all lines are growing in popularity throughout the country. said MT. Golson, "and I don't see any req son why mems clothing couldn't be sold upstairs as well as anything else. The biggest of these is of course, the saving in rent; another is to worry along without so much finery and extrav- agant equipment. We won't have any delivery service, no elaborate window dis plays, no extensive alteration depart ment, no charge accounts, and will elim- nate. many other features which add to the cost of doing business.'
 MT Golson stated that September 9 had been set for the opening date of the new shop which will be located over the Vaudette theatre.

PRESIDENT PEVEAR
 AND COMMITTEE OF
 EMPLOYES TO MEET
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company President and Leaders of Employees to
 Discuss Demands

The attitude of the Birmingham Rail- way. Light and Power company toward the organized employees of the company probably will be made known this aft ernoon when President J. s. Pevear will hold a conference with the officers of the organization, the grievance commit tee and the organizer at 2:30 o'clock.
 President Pevear has up to this time been silent regarding the organization of the men and the requests that have been made upon the company for recognition and an advance in wages. The petition setting forth the demands of the men was presented to him at 5 o'clock Satur- day afternoon by officers of the organi- zation. and he promised them a confer ence this afternoon.
 The men are hopeful over the prospect of an amicable agreement with the com pany, due to the fact that the organiza- ton has not been molested in the least with the work of organizing, although the company has been aware of such a movement for several weeks.

LETTERS TO EDITOR

degree that they are unaffected by the elements, or traffic, economical in cost and in maintenance, satisfactory in that they shall present the minimum traction resjstance-smooth, not slippery-and free from the discomfort of dust and mud.
 The question of building the country roads to suit the traffic is the one great problem relating to highway construc- ton. The ever increasing volume of traf- fife, weight of loads and especially the advent of the swiftly running vehicle has revolutionized requirements.
 A couple of centuries ago our means of transportation was the pack horse, which was superseded by wagons and in the present day the automobile and motor truck.
 These changed conditions have intro duced new elements of destruction, so that what were once durable and de- pendable roads are today obsolete, ex- travagant and wasteful.
 The solution of the problem is the vitri- fled brick paved highway. A recent bull letin issued by the office of good roads at Washington, D. C., states that there are many hundreds of miles of brick roads in this country and predicts a rapid increase in their use because of the satisfaction they have given in all sec- tionS.
 It has been thoroughly demonstrated that brick roads meet all the demands of traffic to which the modern highway is subjected. Our neighboring state of Florida is setting the pace for the south
 in building brick roads and getting the largest part of the brick from factories located in Jefferson county, Alabama.
 In many of the states in the middle west, notably Ohio, Indiana and Illinois they are utilizing the old macadam roads as a base, and laying the brick on ce- ment sand cushion right on top of the old chert or macadam road and fill ing the joints with cement grout, produc- ing a smooth surface with practically indestructible monolithic slab. Jefferson county should adopt a similar course and thereby save many thousands of dollars invested in the present roads By taking one or two main highways per year, the saving in repairs would easily pay the interest on cost of put ting the permanent brick surface on the roads.
 The cost of maintaining even the best of our present chert roads has become SC excessive that the annual repair bill is g serious burden and causing our board o1 revenue grave concern.
 The cost of this recent flood as sci | forth by Engineer Clark would pay years interest on s2,5Oo0O0 of bonds which would enable the county to pu brick surface on over 200 miles of mair highways.
 | There is no better way in which wt could utilize the funds that will be ap portioned to Jefferson county under thu
 Bankhead federal aid law. We would thu! get a permanent road at half cost up tt the amount donated by the government Yours respectfully. JOHN w. SHELBY. 1 Birmingham, August 19, 1916.

Build Permanent Roads

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I have read with a great deal of in terest the interview in this morning s paper with County Engineer George H. Clark regarding the immense damage done to our county roads by the recent rains and floods and I am sure that MT. Clark with his customary conservatism has not overstated the facts in the least.
 He is to be congratulated upon the rapidity with which he has gotten the roads and bridges back in a usable condi- tion, and the promptness and economy with which it has been done demon- strates the wisdom of using the convicts for building and maintaining our roads.
 There is one most important lesson from this recent experience that l wish to call the earnest attention of the pub lie, to. viz: The wasteful extravagance in building highways out of materials that can only be classed as temporary make shifts in this day of the mechanically driven vehicles
 The good road has become necessity. pie, connecting link between rural and profit to all citizens.
 The progress of community, state or nation is marked by the condition of it's roads. Modern civilization demands them for the sake of commercial existence and to be commercially profitable they must be so constructed and of such material that they shall be permanent, econom- ical and satisfactory.

Many matters of importance are sched- uled to come up before the city commits sion for consideration this week.
 A large delegation of citizens is ex- pected to be on hand this afternoon at o'clock to discuss the rerouting of the street cars on the Birmingham Rail- way Light and Power company's lines.
 The fight for the rerouting of the cars is being led by Gen. Louis V. Clarke and Louie Gelders. It is expected there will be some opposition to the proposed change. The meeting promises to be a lively one and will, in all probability, take much thought and consideration on the part of the commissioners to de- eide the issue.
 The proposed change in the rerouting of the cars involves practically all lines of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 The weekly commission meeting will be held Tuesday afternoon at o'clock. The morning will be consumed by conferences with various citizens regarding com plaints and other matters relating to the city government.
 Commissioner Barber will introduce an ordinance at the meeting Tuesday after noon to raise the present tax on the insurance companies now operating in Birmingham. He states that according to law the companies may be charged a fee of $4 per hundred on the net amount of premiums collected.
 It is probable that some decision in regard to the return of money collected by the city on account of the liquor

BOARD OF REVENUE
 WILL RAT|FY LOAN
Heavy Preferred Claims Against the County Made
 Loan Necessary

This morning the board of revenue will ratify the loan of s2oOoOO from Steiner Brothers to Jefferson county.
 The loan was negotiated by w. K Ter ry, attorney for the board of revenue, about the middle of the week, after q, resolution had been passed authorizing the making of the loan at per cent in- terest Steiner Brothers was the success ful banking firm to land the 'plum," and following the ratification of the loan this morning by the board of revenue the county warrants will be issued and tho $20o,0O0 in cash will be placed in the Amer ican Trust and Savings bank to the credit of Treasurer Cleon B. Rogers, within the next 10 days.
 At the time the loan was authorized 1t was stated that it was made because of the fact that heavy preferred claima against the county treasury were com ing up and would have to be met before next January. At the time the loan was made Jefferson county had about $250.000 to it's credit at the American Trust and Savings bank.
 On Saturday at the treasurers office the weekly statement of the cash balance of the county funds on hand in the Amer ican Trust and Savings bank was as follows:
 General fund, sSs,261.29; 1o-cent road fund. $6,627 O5; s3-dolar road fund. $12.- 6s9.5l special road fund.- ss472s.2s; public building and bridge fund.- s54,115.Ss; sani- tary fund. s72,O5616 and the state aid road fund, s565s 10. This made total of $274,- 13427 in all funds of the county.
 One of the features of the heavy cash balances carried by the county in the bank is that by law no interest is paid on such reserves.

DIR. ROSSER TO REPORT ON HIS ACTIVITIES
 FOR SEVERAL MONTHS
Weekly Meeting of Jefferson County Medical Society at Hillman
 Hospital Tonight

County Health Officef~zs1. H. N. Ros- ser is to make his report of his activities during the past seven months and half of his tenure in office to the Jefferson County Medical society at the Hillman hospital tonight. The report is made at the instance of Dr. Rosser, who stated at the last meeting of the medical so- ciety that the board of health had never requested report from him and that The had been consistently ignored"
 At the last meeting of the medical so- city it was decided to appoint a commit tee to conduct a campaign of education throughout Jefferson county on health matters in order that sufficient public sentiment be aroused to persuade the board of revenue to accept the recom- mendations contained in the report of the federal expert, Dr. Carroll Fox, for unified health system and an all tune health officer. The educational commit tee is now at work and will possibly make a report on its progress tonight
 However, the feature of the weekly meeting of the medical society tonight lies in the health report of County Health Officer Dr. Rosser.

IMPORTANT MATTERS WILL
 COME BEFORE COMMISSION
Fight for Reroug of Street Cars to Be Taken Up This After noon Commissioner Barber Will Try to Raise Tax on Insurance Companies - Liquor Inspection
 Money May Be Refunded

inspection tax, which was declared un- constitutional by the supreme court, may be given by the commissioners. Com missioners Weatherly and Hornady have already declared themselves in favor of returning the money to those who paid this fee to the city.
 Attorney John Altman who represents between 5000 and 4O00 citizens who were forced to submit to the liquor tax ap- peared before the commission last Tues day and made a strong argument in favor of his clients contention that they should be refunded their money. Commits sioner Truss expressed himself as being included to refund the money, but ended by asking where it could be obtained in view of the fact the city was financially embarra ssed to the extent that little money could even be spent in improving and keeping up the streets.
 It Is estimated that between $25,000 and s35000 was paid out by those who re- ceived liquor shipments for the tax alone fee of 50 cents was charged by the city for every package of liquor received in Birmingham. The law was in vogue little less than 10 weeks. Within 10 days after the law went into effect. D. H. Merkstein attacked 1t. Judge Sharpe of the circuit court handed down de- cision declaring the law void and he was afterwards upheld by the supreme court.
 Those for and against the anti-wooden shingle ordinance will appear before the commission on Wednesday to present the different sides of the question. The in surance men as well as the shingle men will give voice to their opinions on this subject.

HOW ERSKINE RAMSAY
 LOST POLITICAL ASSET
By CHARLES H. MANDY

travel. But to get back to his political
 opportunity.
 When a very young man, MT. Ramsay
 was placed in charge of the msnes of the
 Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com
 pany, and under his immediate super
 vision were hundreds of men. He was so
 youthful looking that it was embarras-
 sing, so with the idea of adding the ap-
 pearance of age and dignity he decided
 to cultivate a full Suit of whiskers.
 They were a success from the start,
 for however unfertile the upper part Of
 his cranum may be as to hirsute adorn-
 ment, the lower part of his face is as
 fertile as the valley of the Nile, and
 growth of hair luxuriant in quantity and
 a perfect root as to color was the re-
 suit.
 Yes sir, the color was marked and
 ranged from a fiery red to strawberry pink, but all in harmonious blend. danger signal was pale in comparison.
 And the whiskers accomplished the purpose intended, for MT. Ramsay, with his facial adornment, looked as fero- cious as a picture of one of the 'sHei' land" chiefs that adorn the baronial halls of his Scottish forebears. The whiskers flourished for a time like a green bay tree, but after while, in an ill-advised moment, the glorious fringe of riotous color fell victim
  artist and found an inglorious ending in the trash can.
 And there is where MT. Ramsay let his political opportunity go by. The "alfalfa," sacrificed possibly to gratify a whim of vanity, might have proven as big an asset as the world-renowned beard and mustachio of the redoubt- able J. Ham Lewis, for that gentle- mans adornment may have equaled but never surpassed the glory of the first crop of whiskers as grown by the youthful Erskine R.
 Had the whiskers not been sacrificed who can tell to what height of political fame they might have carried him? | And, judging from his success in in- | dustrial endeavor, 1t is not too greet
 a stretch of imagination to believe he | might today be the standard-bearer of | the Lords anointed" to-wit, the G. | O. P, had he retained his beard. | But it is not yet too late; MT. Ram l say is yet a young man, and hav- | ing made his "pile," he may yet be bit- | ten by the political bee. It is not with | out the bounds of possibilities that he might listen to the solicitation of his | friends and shy his castor into the ring | of politics, and if he does he still may | find an opportunity to use the valuable l political asset that has for years been | sacrificed to the mon est" style of
 wearing whiskers.
