FRIENDLY SUIT ID
 DUST DR. GASTON State Health Officer to In- stitute Proceedings in Fa-
 vor of Dr. Harrington

Judge Samuel D. Weakley has been re- tained by pr. w. s. Welch state health officer to take action against the city of Birmingham. The state board of health will seek to have Dr. Cecil D. Cas- ton turn over all records and files to Dr. F. E. Harrington, the county health officer by quo warranto proceedings When the action will be taken has not been determined but it will be friendly in nature.
 The state board of health is seeking to uphold the legality of the state statutes that provide the county medical society has the power to elect the county health officer. By it's action in refusing to rec ognize Dr. Harrington, the commission seemingly questioned the constitutionality of the measure, and this action is in stituted for the purpose of protecting the health laws of the state.
 Concerning this matter Dr. Welch said: "The state board of health is interested only in protecting and establishing the validity of the health laws that are oper- ative in Alabama. This will be the ob- ject of any action our attorney, Judge s. D. Weakley may take
 conference between Commissioner James Weatherly and Judge Weakley was arranged for yesterday afternoon, but owing to the lattNr's indispos1tion, was not had.

CHILDREN'S CLASSES OF Y. w. c. A. PRESENT
 PUBLIC EXERCISES
Grand March, Dances and Varied Athletic Contests Make Up
 Splendid Programme

Annual public exercises of the chill dreE's classes of the Young Womens s Christian association were given last night at the association building before large crowd. The programme includ- ed fairy dances folk dances, swimming and diving, and was a remarkable exhibi- ton, as the participants were children from 6 to 14 years of age. They showed remarkable proficiency in all numbers presented and Miss Mamie E. Lum, the physical director, was highly compliment ed on the showing made.
 The grand march was led by Dorothy May Cole and Juanita Grover and nearly 56 children participated. They executed number of very pretty figures and en- sembles Margaret Boyd and Ida Jack son were very graceful in a Spanish dance, while mazurka was gracefully danced by Mary Shook Virginia Eason Julia Jackson and Margaret Shook Marian Butler gave "a fine exhibition of rope climbing.
 One of the features of the swimming pool exhibition was given by Margaret Boyd, who disrobed while in the deepest part of the pool. Lillian Fox gave div ing exhibition which was followed by swan dive.

POLL TAX BOOKS
 TOCLOSE TONIGHT
The last call has been made.

The last call has been made.
 After tonight the "sheep" will he separated from the "goats. and only those holding the tax coIIec- tors receipt for poll tax and those exempt by law, will he allowed to vote on any question, city, county 6r state, that may come up during the year.
 And according to the statement of Tax Collector Bowers made last night there will be many "gOats'' this year that have hitherto flock ed with the "sheep," for there are many deIinquents.
 While it is not probable that any citizen will be "cast into outer darkness" through the fail- ure to have in his possession the slip bearing Phil Bowers sigma ture. which gives n man the right to express his choice at the ballot, it is predicted that there will "be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth" when the commissioners race rolls around, more probably from the knowledge of n lost op- pOrtunity to vote against n candi- date than for one.
 It is estimated that less than 10000 out of approximately 15,OOO voters will qualify unless there is tremendous rush today and to- night. Tax Collector Bowers will keep open the office tonight as long as any citizens appear to pay their poll tax.

 SPIRIT WAS SHOWN

A little note appreciated by The Age Herald local staff, was sent in yesterda and is printed below, as written:
 Birmingham, January S1, 1917. 'Mr. E. w. Barrett, Editor The Age
 Herald:
 My Dear Ed-I want to congratu- late you on doing most gracious thing this morning in the write up of the Human Fly Stunt put on by the Ledger. It was fine spirit of mag nanimity that should be cultivated by all our citizens.
 After all. however, it was just what we had a right to expect from a paper that realizes its first duty to the public is to give them the real live news. The Human Fly was clearly the event of the day in Birmingham yesterday, and you are to be com mended for giving your host of read CTS such full and fair account of 1t, regardless of the fact it was pulled off by competitor.
 Your example should be emulated by the rank and file of all our citizen ship. Let us cease from knocking and auarrelng, and boost anything that will get together such an immense crowd with their minds intent on one object, and we will soon learn to sur mount all difficulties in the way of our peace and prosperity as success fully as the Human Fly scaled the seemingly impossible heights Yours. cordially, JOHN w. SIBLEY.

 The speaker was an old negro nanny. She was wrinkled, bent and gray and her appearance betokened the fact that the century mark of her life's journey was fast approaching.

The passage of the 3-mill special tax fo" Jefferson county will make available for educational. purposes the s2,OO000O bond issue authorized last spring. The board of education will meet on or be- fore February to consider what amount of the $2 900 will be asked for imme diately.
 It is understood that the board of edu- cation will ask for one-half of the bond issue, or s1,0O0,000. The most urgent needs of the city will be remedied immediately. Although the revenues that the 3-nill tax levy will afford will not be available until the beginning of a new tax year, this will not prevent the city from issuing it's bonds, for it is known just how much in taxes will be incoming to meet the in- terest charges on the bonds. The city's credit is gilt edge.
 With this $1,0Oo,000 the board of educa- tion will do many things. It is generally conceded by members of the board of ed- ucation that the most crying needs are high school near Woodlawn, to care for the school children in the eastern sec tion of the city. This will be one of the first structures authorized.
 At Avondale, Vivian and Thomas gram mar schools are said to be imperative, " Hlie tIe ACipCO ulSlrlct DdQly neeuS d new school, inasmuch as the nearest grammar school is at North Birmingham and Thomas.
 In the city proper the board of edu- cation is considering the erection of a grammar school at Fourteenth avenue and Fifteenth street south, and one at NoIwood. At Woodlawn it is probable that one new grammar school will be au- thorized to be built with part of the first $1000,000.
