FOOD SURVEY PLANS
ARE MADE PUBLIC.

Washington, Aug. ga nation
wide food survey, authorized under
the first of the food laws enacted by
congress, will be started Immediately
by the department of agriculture,
Plans for the census, announced
tonight, show that it will cover nearly
100 items of food and will include
supplies on the farm, in warehouses
and stores, and even the stocks in
the family pantry. A quick survey
will be taken first of the supplies of
10 of the principal articles of diet,
and probably can be completed in
three or four weeks, to be followed
by complete census after the crops
are gathered. All of the figures will
be as of Aug. 81.
Information gathered by the de-
partment will be turned over to the
food administration, which will base
its operations largely on the statis-
tics supplied. After the survey is
finished monthly reports will be pre-
pared on the supplies of the princi-
pal foods. The work will be carried
on principally by the bureau of mar
kets, the bureau of crop estimates,
the bureau of chemistry and states
relations service of the department.
Both actual inventories and estimates
will be employed. Estimates of the
food and feed products on the farm
will be made for the whole country
by the bureau of crop estimates
through $4,000 picked co-operators
in the field.
Information regarding stocks in
wholesale, Jobblng, storing, mnutac-
turing and other commercial estab-
lishments, including large retail hous-
es, will be obtained by requesting
from each concern statement Of
the exact amount Of each of the va
rious products held by it.

Perfect Physical Poiso.

For the perfect physical poise we
don't need to study pictures in the
modern magazines. The ideal form Is
well expressed in sculpture dating back
to 500 to 900 B. G., when the Spartans
were masters of Greece. These an
clients, says Popular Science Monthly,
carried themselves in such way that
the muscles, organs, circulation and
even the brain and nervous system
were braced in harmonious relation
ship. How can we attain the same
poise in walking? Briefly, by setting
the shoulders back and squaring them
evenly by carrying the chest high and
well arched forward, by keeping the
stomach in and the neck perpendicular,
like column, and by forcing the
chin in.

The fate of pr. F. E.

Latady, att torney for Mir Van Hayes, the peti- tioner, and Judge Samuel D. Weakley, counsel for pr. Harrington, to have the hearing tomorrow before Judge IT. A. Sharpe
 At this time the court will be asked to state whether or not pr. Harring- ton is legally entitled to serve as county health officer for Jefferson county. The petitioner contends that he is not legally fit for number of reasons.
 In all probability, no action will be taken to force the city to recognize Dr. Harrington until the quo war ranto proceedings are heard before Judge Sharpe. Regardless of the oute come of this trial 1t has been stated that action against the city will be necessary, inasmuch as the refusal of the commission to accept pr. Harring- ton was regarded as questioning of the state health laws. The state board of health has been informed of this action.

B. A. C. IS DEFEATED
 BY ATLANTA AFTER
 STRENUOUS BATTLE
Local Five Clean Game to Atlanta FiveClub Shows Reversal of Form-Tommy McGowan Plays Wonderful
 Game-Locals Held Lead For Time.
By DICK JEMIsoN

Atlanta, January 2T.-(SpeciaI.) The Birmingham Athletic club bas- ketbail team was defeated tonight by the Atlanta Athletic club champions, 3S to 22, but only after the hardest
 kind of battle. This marked the sixth straight victory of the season for the locals and the twenty-cishth consecutive victory on the home floor.
 The game was one of the hardest vet most cieaniy fought games ever played on the local floor, and from the point of fast play, quick passing, fierce contestins for the ball, elem guarding and efficient refereeing, it
 was the best game in many a day.
 Birmingham started off in the lead and shortly after the game was started led the locals to and then Il to 10, but when the locals took the lead with two brilliant goals by Dubard they were never again headed and the first half ended 22 to Il in the locals favor.
 The second half was even closer con- tested, the Barons making three changes in their lineup, and it seemed to pro- duce a stronger defensive team. but nc better on offense.
 McGowan's all-round work aided by Gillam's guarding and the splendid floor play of Hahn in the second half were the features of the play from Birming- ham standpoint, while the goal shooting of Lester, the guarding and floor play of Graves and the pass work ofs West moreland featured from a local stand point
 The writer has seen every game Rir- mingham and Atlanta has played since 1904 and 1t was the cleanest, yet fastest and best played contest that the two lives have ever hooked up in, proving that they do not have to fight to have good basketball, as seemed to be the i'm precision in years gone by.
 A splendid crowd witnessed the con- test and the Birmingham lads received a splendid welcome and 8 rousing cheer for the sportsman-like contest they played. How Georgia defeated this ag- gregation 70 to "A is beyond the under standing of the local basketball fans.
 Lineup and summary:
 Atlanta (39: Westmoreland (s), left for ward; Lester q0, right forward; Dubard CS), center; Garter co, left guard; Graves @, right guard.
