ARMISTICE DECLARED BY
 CIVIC BODIES PENDING PEACE PROPOSAL RESULT
Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade Will Meet Today in Effort to Formulate Plan to Bring Harmony-Mc McCleery Named Vice
 President of Both Organizations

Unless certain requests of the newly organized Board of Trade are favorably met by the Chamber of Commerce, the chances are slight for a reconciliation of the break between the two bodies. While no official announcement has been made to this effect it is known that the newly organized body will not come back into the fold without certain rather exacting considerations.
 The board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce, and the board of directors of the old Board of Trade meet this aft ernoon at 3:3o o'clock, in an effort to for mulate some plan whereby the two bodies may be brought together again.
 It is understood that the nomination of George McCleery as second vice president of the Chamber of Commerce will not appease the new Board of Trade The announcement that MT. McCleery had been nominated for the vice presidency and had accepted the nomination, came as a surprise yesterday, following the re- cent report of the newly organized Board of Trade, in which he was named first vice president.
 When asked his position In the matter,

 Last night was. the regular meeting night for the county medical society, but no session was held. as the day was a holiday. It is understood that the society will soon take up the issues raised by Commissioner Hornady, in his statement in Mondays Age Herald, as the board of health is specially anxious to have the city and county working in harmony to install a unified health system in Jeff ferson county

Reid came in for her usual share of warm-hearted compliments, as she has been the guiding spirit of the newsboys' dinners for the past 10 years.
 Julius Stern, president of the News boys Republic, made the opening address and was followed by Mrs. Prowell or the Boys club who gave "a little motherly advice for the New Year" Short talks were then made by the "bosses," name ly, Mir Dustan of the News, MT.

 The address of the evening was made by Dr. George Stuart, pastor of the First Methodist church, and was brtmful of humor, of anecdotes and ''heart interest and was thoroughly enjoyed. Dr. Stuart made a big hit with the boys.
 Mrs. Reid made few remarks and ex- pressed her pleasure at being with the boys and gave them her best wishes for the new year. The closing address was made by Henry Ehlbert, the first presi- dent of the Republic, who is now a. stu dent at the University of Alabama.

ARGENTINE EXPERTS
 TO INSPECT PLANT
South American Engineers Will In- vestigate Methods of Pipe
 Making

Five Argentine engineers will arrive in Birmingham Thursday for the pur- pose of visiting the Bessemer and North Birmingham plants for the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry com pany. Representing the government de- partment "Obras Sanitaries de Lle Ma cion." the members composing the tech- nical commission, Alfredo F. Lasso. Bartholome Raffo Guerino Talevi, Paul Calandra and Alfredo Marion, will view some of the units that wifi be engaged in filling the government order for s3,500,000 worth of pipe.
 The order was placed by the Argen- tine government several weeks ago. It calls for 65.00O tons of pipe. which. If linked together, would extend from New York to San Francisco. Twenty small steamships, loaded heavily, will be re- quired to transport the pipe to South America, where it will be used for con- veying water to over 100000 inhab- itants.
 It is the largest single order that a pipe company, operating in the Bir- mingham district, ever received.
 The Argentine commission will re- main in Birmingham for over week. They will inspect the methods of mak- ing the pipe and will make other in vestigations.

DR. CECIL GASTON ID
 REMAIN IN CHARGE
Conference Held in Refer ence to Health Situation
 of the City

Dr. Cecil Gaston will remain in charge of the health work of the city of Bir- mingham.
 This followed a conference between Dr. Gaston with Dr. F. E. Harrington, who has recently been elected county health officer The two doctors talked over the health situation. What transpired was not announced.
 Prior to this conference pr. Harrington discussed the matter of public health with Coniaaissioner J. R. Hornady. MT. Hor- nady explained the position of the city and told Dr. Harrington that it would be unwise in view of the present situation health system plan. He made it plain that he did not care to have Birmingham involved in the controversy that is now on.
 Commissioner Hornady stated last night that Dr. Harrington expressed his deter imitation to accomplish his utmost, de- spite the obstacles that were confronting him.
 Another peculiar angle of the unified health plan has been aired. Under the Fox system, the county health officer is to have control of the health work in present time the board of education em- ploys it's own physician to safeguard the health of the students in the public schools.
 The question that has been raised is. Will the board of health turn over it's work to the county health officer or con tinue as at present?

NEGROES CELEBRATE
 EMANCIPATION DAY
Appropriate Exercises Held at Six
 teenth Street Baptist Church

The colored people of Birmingham cele- brated Emancipation Day yesterday at the Sixteenth Street Baptist church with appropriate exercises. D. A. Brown, the we'll known colored attorney, made the principal address Referring to Lincoln as & great statesman, the speaker said: T am convinced that providence had a good deal to do with the selection of a man of Lincoln's strength and wisdom at a period in the counrry-s history when such a man was most needed Our na- tional elections at best are most uncer- tain events, and I have sometimes won dered what would have been the result of Lincoln's defeat at the polls in 1860. Possibly it would have had the effect to halt the march of American civilization for hundred years. Even if freedom had been delayed for only a quarter of century 1t would have come too late to bring opportunities for development to Booker T. Washington, whose life and work did so much to bring about friendly relations between the races. Washing tons splendid services to the south and to the country generally have more than justified Lincolns immortal document"
 The speaker was introduced by w. J. Echols, Prof. Robert w. Taylor, principal of the Sipsey school, Sipsey, made short address.
