PRICK FORESEES THIS AS ONE OF
 WORLDS CENTERS

The current issue of the 1ranufactur- CTS Record 1evotes much space to the recent visit to Birmingham of the finance committee of the United States Steel cor poration. It also contains telegram from Henry C. Prick of the committee, which contains highly significant sen fence regarding Birminsha ham. 1t reads.
 Your telegram duly received. dis like 10 he quoted and avoid interviews whenever possible. l will. however. say to you that I was delighted with my first visit to the Birmingham district, and 1t certainly Is destined to become one of the most important centers of the steel industry in the world.
 H. C. FRICk.
 The Record expresses ne belief that the proposed $l1,O0o,0o0 for Jew plants near Fairfield is of much greater signifi- canoe than the $32Oop.oQ0 already spent here because so great a part of past ex- penditures has been for .ebuilding. re- modelling and modernizing plants which were already here. while the new mil lions will go into the construction of en- til ely new industries.

 The fact that Colonel Crenshaw has become a part and parcel of Birmingham srce his regiment was stationed her.. having participated in every civic affair, either personally or with his men, to boost Birmingham. such as parades, eel ebrations flag raisings, and patriotic ral- lies, makes his claim stronger on Bir mirgham recruits than any other officer securing men in this city The Second regiment band has become a part of Bir- mingham.
 Colonel Crenshaw said yesterday with reference to his regiment and its rec ord: The Second regiment has the highest health record and the lowest death record of any Alabama regiment 50 far. We went to the border and our record in rifle practice placed us ahead of any of our Alabama regiments. We stood on a par with the regulars in this particular Of course, 1 am not making any criticism of any other regiment, for they are all good and there is glory enough to come in this war for us all, but l do with pardonable pride boast of my own men. who now are ready to go to the front, from a standpoint of training"
 Colonel Crenshaw's phone number is nslEey 1103, and he will be glad to talk to any young men desiring to enlist, and recruiting station is open at the fair grounds all day each day.
