Gomperts, 14O9 South Fifteenth street collided on Eleventh avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, south, with an Avenue street car. Gomperts was only slightly injured, and will be able to leave the infirmary today.

 The injured were rushed to the South Highland infirmary immediately follow ing the accident It was first an- rounced that the injuries of all parties was only slight, but an examination late last night caused hospital authorities to change their statement. The injuries of Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Iiolcombe may be fatal.
 According to Motorcycle Officer Pat terson, who investigated, Gomperts could give no reason why he struck the car
 The street car was going east on Elev- enth avenue at a moderate rate of speed,'' said Officer Patterson, while Gomperts was going west. He was run ming on the left side of the street. The car was completely wrecked, and it was a miracle that all the occupants were not instantly killed.'
 Motorman T. l.. Salters and Conduc- tor c. c. Crow, who reside at 1904 Third avenue, north, were in charge of the street car and were placed under arrest by Officer Patterson.

ORCHESTRA WILL FILL ENGAGEMENT Cincinnati Symphony to Ap- pear at the Jefferson
 in January

The Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, whose contract with the Music Study club for an appearance at the Jefferson thea tre January F, was cancelled automat ically because Dr. Ernst Kunwald was no longer conductor. will fill the engage ment on it's own account
 The Jefferson management received a telegram yesterday from the manager of the orchestra Kline Roberts, saying he would bring the full organization on the date named.
 This announcement will be gratefully received by the music lovers of Birming- ham, as the Cincinnati symphony of 8 men ranks as one of the Six or seven famous orchestras of the United States
 Who will take Dr. Kunwalds place is not yet known here, but it is assumed that a conductor of high class ability will be secured. Walter Henry Rothwell of New York appeared at the regular concerts in Cincinnati last week as guest-conductor and it may be that he will accompany the orchestra on it's southern tour.

 ministratiOn for Maximum Output

Ire fuel administration at Washington has made a special appeal to the miners of Alabama to get out the greatest pos sible amount of coal by working full time.
 The most notable response to this ap- peal yet recorded in the Birmingham dis trict is that of the employees of the Woodward Iron company. It was an nounced last night that every miner and every employe about the plants of the company worked all day yesterday and will work all day next Sunday. The men have also agreed to take but one day off for Christmas in order to keep getting out coal and ore.
 The response of these men is espe- cially notable as it means that 5000 men were at work all day yesterday who would usually have been taking holi-

Do the People of Alabama
 Realize inc Seriousness
 OfPreSent War Situation
Local Men Comment on Recent Meetings at Birmingham and Montgomery Under Auspices of National War Saving Com mittee-State Fully Alive to Conditions and Loyal
 Citizens Are Responding to Call Says Writer
Br JOHN SPARROW

Do the people of Alabama realize the seriousness of this war and what they must do?
 answer, yes, and I say it confi- dently. week ago I might have hes itated in making such an assertion-
 Now I feel that know.
 This is because l had the privilege
 of attending two meetings last week
 to which representative men of Ala
 bama had been summoned. One of
 these was in Birmingham Tuesday; the
 other in Montgomery the following
 day. Both were called by the Alabama
 director of the national war savings
 committed, and the gatherings wers
 the county chairmen of the thrift
 campaign in this state, with few
 members of the state committee.
 The attendance at the meetings was
 an assurance of the state of mind in
 Alabama. These county chairmen were selected for their ability and influence.
 They were all busy men in their varied activities. The holdiday season, with
 it's expressing claims, was at hand
 The weather was unusually severe Some of the county chairmen lived off
 the lines of railway. Here was com
 bination of circumstances which made excuses easy, if not justifiable. These were not pleaded The chairmen wrote or wired that they would be on hand and they were.
 PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
 Equally significant was the earness tone of the discussions of the plans oi the campaign, There were no attempts at speechmaking The state director and the state vice director gave the 1 assemblages all the information avail able at the time and asked, for suS- gestions as to the conduct of the cam paign. These came freely, proving that the county chairmen were not only awake to the importance of the work entrusted to them but had initiative In other words, they did not intend to go back home with cast iror plan of campaign, but they would takt it conform to conditions in their vari- ous localities, which is to say, they will do more than the national ane state committees ask of them. Alabama asleep? Who said it?
 This faculty of initiative was espe cialy noticeable in the representatives from the strictly rural sections of th' state. When it was intimated tha Alabama was handicapped in selling her quota of war savings certificate stamps and thrift stamps by reason o1 the fact that she is state of few cities and much country the country T k. won't take that as a handicap but a. an inspiration. We may not have ths | publicity facilities enjoyed by youl 1 city folks but we will go you one bet | ter. We will tie up this campaign witt our commercial. social and religious 1 life We will make it the axis oI which, everything in our communitiei

THE WHOLE FAMILY

Many interesting features are r> ported at the headquarters and among them was the receipt of a check from Robert Jemison, covering the member ship fee of every member of his fam ily, starting with himself and wife and going down to his youngest grand child. 28 in all Fred M Jackson, president of the Perfection Mattress company, sent in check and a 100 per cent report as everyone in the employment of this company joine the Red Cross.
 Tie first concern to send in a 16o per cent report was the firm of ]. Blach < Sons Mir Rushton stated that the action of these firms is commend- able and that it would lessen the work Of the campaign workers. He urged that oth6r firms and concerns follow their exampie.
 Following the workers luncheon at the Tutwiler tomorrow at 1 o'clock there will be a parade of the vic- torious army that carried the Y. IT c. A. campaign to most successful conclusion. The army is composed of business men, professional men and men from almost every station of life who have volunteered their serv- ices fer this class of work for tie duration of the war.
 The parade will start from the Tut wiler and will be headed by the First Delaware Regimental band They will be followed by standard bearers car- rying the Red Cross and United States flags and the flags of the allied na- tions. Led by Field Marshal Rushton and the generals of the several divi- sions the grand army will parade Twentieth street to First avenue, thence to Nineteenth street thence to Third avenue, thence to Twentieth street and back to the Tutwiler.
 COLORED WORKERS
 Two enthusiastic mass meetin gs were held yesterday afternoon by the colcred people of the district interest," ed in the Christmas membership cam paign of the Red Cross The first meeting was held by the captains and workers Campaign Manager Oscar w. Adams outlining the plan of cam : paign. The second meeting was held at the Sixth Avenue Baptist church. General Frank Willis Barnett w R. Driver, Oscar w. Adams and John w. Goodgame pastor of the church. made the principal talks and urged The col ored people to give help to the cam paign and respond to the Red Cross l'appeal
 Headquarters were established yes terday on the first floor of the Ala
  and active work will be started by all teams early this morning. Mrs, R. B. Macklin, chairman of the Booker T. Washington Red Cross aux Hilary, outlined the plan to the wom- en. An earnest request for all of the colored school teachers in the district to organize and help in the drive was made.
 Pastors of a number of colcred churches reported that an organiza- tion of their congregation had been made and committees appointed from each will actively begin their work this morning. The pastors have been requested to hold mass meetings next Sunday In order to reach people who the committees failed to see during the weeks drive.
 Preparation was made for the fur nishing of literature to the workers by the Alabama Penny Savings bank. The colored people are anxious to make good showing and have lined m solidly behind General Barnett and Chairman Adams.

day The men state that they are going to do their part and that there will be no lack of diligence among them in get ting out every ton of coal and ore pos sible
 Every industrial man in the district will be interested to know that every coal and every ore mine of the Wood- ward company as well as the plants which are coordinate with these depart- ments was running full tilt yesterday.
 The men have agreed that full shift will be on duty next Sunday also, and that but one day will be utilized for Christmas. One of the difficulties of the holiday season in the past in the mining sections has been the fact that the mines usually take from week to two weeks off for this period.
 The fuel administration this year is making a special appeal to the miners to keep at work.

will turn, from the school room to the picnic ground. If publicity is the art of making people talk and work fer
 thing we will show you something new in that line" And they will do it
 QUALITY OF POSTERS
 In the course of the discussion at the Birmingham meeting something was said about the high art quality of
 the posters and hangers which the government will supply-the nobility of the ideas expressed and so on. A county chairman said If that is so, I purpose to have these put up in my church; they are good enough for that"
 And there was not a dissenting voice. This speaker, in connecting his church with war work, struck the keynote of the only thought that will carry us through the war. In times of trial we turn away from the material to the spiritual. When We firmly grasp the idea that we are in this war to give freedom to the world and estab- fish perpetual peace, we will rise to the heights demanced of us. We will give all that is asked and give it gladly.
 MOTION PICTURES At the Montgomery meeting sugges- 1 tions for the use of motion picture houses | dS d IIlcQluul Cl PupllCiIy were D6l1S ulS- 1 cussed, when a county chairman said: l There isn't motion picture house in 1 all my county, but We have phono- 1 graphs, victrolas and grafoolaA. We want some campaign records for them. l Can't you give them to us?" I cite this merely to show the spirit of the men of rural Alabama. Trust them to find a 1 way to do their part.
 1 Professor Moton, president of TuslSe- ! gee institute, was present at the Mont 1 gomery conference. He is full-blooded negro, and consequently his race will ] get credit for all he does for them. The I men at the Montgomery meeting were ! largely from the so-called black belt l They received Professor Moton quietly; l the cordiality was in their thought. rather | than in their action, but he could not | help feeling he was among friends. He | spoke frankly and with the dignity of ! sincerity. It is not permissible to ii- l vulge his plans in advance, but there 1 was no doubt, after hearing what he 1 said, that the negroes of Alabama would l take hold'
 CARLYLE MELVIN
 One more reference to Montgomery, 1 because it will swing us back to my I starting point, and I shall be through: Among those present at that meeting was MT. Carlyle Melvin of Selma. Like l all thorough business men, he is a good listener and not prodigal with words. 1 His suggestions were of the practical ! kind. As the brother of Lieut.. Johh Mel ] win of the United States navy, who re- l gently lost his life in the service of his | country in the war zone, he had the l affectionate sympathy of all present. This brother John it appears, was the l baby boy of the family, beloved by all because he loved all, and the blow was l a dreadful one to his parents. Thinking | of this gallant sailor lad, my thought ] turned to that other naval hero of ours, I now also among the immortals-Y oung l Ingram of Pratt City-and I said: Ala bama will never lag with sons made of such stuff as these to keep her first on l the roll call of states
