Rich Men Helping Nation,
Says Mckinnon. +

THE way that the bankers ana busi-
ness men Of New York city are going

that this is not rich mans war,
said j. w. Mckinnon Of Chicago. at
the Florence hotel last night. MANY
of the wealthiest men of the east, as
well as the big men Of industry are
giving all their time TO the govern
ment free of charge to press the w;ts'
to successful conclusion, and not
only are they giving their time but
their sous also. as soldiers.
"The east is taking the war very
seriously The security market in the
metropolis is at il standstill and no
new issues are out. The energy of the
bankers is all directed toward savings
and the preservation of the financial
equilibrium. And, by the way. tell
the people that the east is glad to
know that the government is providing
splendidly efficient secret service"

Looks for a Good Year

Although we are at war as a nation, think the Birmingham public will enjoy an outing occasionally at the resorts of the city" said George J. Breinig, man. ager of East Lake park, whose success ful management last year gave this pop ular park it's best season.
 The place has been overhauled and everything will look spick and span next Sunday, the opening day
 The old Casino, which spoiled the lake view, has been torn down. The skating rink has been converted Into a dancing pavilion. which will go under the name of 'Tokio first-class orchestra will fur. nish music, and the public will be as- sured of a clean and well managed place In which to dance.
 For the kids we have all the free at- fractions in place and they are to be looked after as never before. The sea lions will also be interesting to the young sters.
 All other attractions will be up to the standard and, weather permitting, a rec ord crowd should enter the gates next Sunday"

THE RICHEsr HoIR

Claude Callan in the Fort Worth Star
 Telegram.
 A poor but honest friend of ours tells us there was one time in his life when he had everything in the world he wanted. It was about 30 years ago. and he was seated in a spring wagon with his wife by his side. They were on their way to their home in the country, and their fur niture was in the wagon.
 The pretty bundle of gingham would have been enough to make him perfectly happy, but when he thought of the fur niture he felt that the world was too good to him. There was the No. stove and and the pipe belong to those two. Mo- body else in the world had any claim on it. And there was the fine rocker for her and the fine straight chair for him. It is only in recent years that men have gotten into the habit of sitting in rocking of furniture were in the wagon and there was a 30-piece set of kitchen utensls-a big clothes boiler full of them. The boiler and the utensils it contained cost S1.50, but you couldn't get the same amount of tin today for double the money. Then there was the richly colored picture given then by the dealer who sold them the big bill of furniture. Nowadays the deal CTS won't give you anything. but that dealer never failed to give one of these pictures sto couple when they bough. their furniture from him. And last but by no means least was the beautiful green bowl and pitcher, a present from the boon companion of his single days young man who thought no more of a dollar than if 1t were so much trash
 Our friend says that in those days she was proud of the little can of baking powder, and just simply adored the gen. uine tin coffee pot, and felt sorry fol everybody else in the world. But now she never looks at the old car, or at the suit she has worn three or foul times. without pitying herself.

Goods association, stated few days ago that hysterical economy might cause business panic. He thought the desire of society women" to do something for the good of the country was most commendable, but that it ought not to lead them into action which would dislocate business.
 "The business of the country has, during the last few years, been geared up to high speed and needless slow ing down will have an immediate de- pressing effect and will create con- dition fraught with grave danger" he said. While I am speaking for the retail dry goods and department stores of the country primarily, one must not forget that they are the first to feel the buying curtailment. be substituted for the willingness to be substituted for the willingness to spend. The two go hand in hand. One hundred dollars spent through regular business channels would be of in finitely greater value to the war fand than $100 given outright.
 
 "One woman does not think it is a very serious matter to reduce her pur- chases, say 25 per cent, below normal, but if thousands of women are doing the same thing it will quickly create a recession in the volume of business the effects of which will be far-reach- ing"
 MT. Howe is right. As he observes, food is ill class to itself. There can- not be too much economy in what goes on the table. But the more liberal the rich are in their purchases of beautiful as well as serviceable wares the more prosperous will manu- lecturers and merchants be, and mo- body will be hurt.

Plenty of AupI;capts

From the way applicants are coming In at present Alabama should have no trouble in furnishing her full quota for the officers reserve training camps" said Lieutenant Hill yesterday. We have been as busy as bees answering inquiries and Furnishing application blanks to be filled out and the interest in the forthcoming camps would appear to be intense. It would almost look as though everybody intended to apply for a commission, but of course this is not the case However, the coveted commission will not be se- cured on any pleasure jaunt; there will be hard work and plenty of 1t, but any red-blooded American will not mind that.
 One of the advantages Of army life !" continued Lieutenant Hill with smile, is that man never has to worry about his plans; they are always mapped out for him before he knows anything about it.'
 Lieutenant EIill has had many and va ried experiences in his service with the colors and talks interestingly of his ad- ventures"

Deaf Eager to Join Colors


 "The deaf citizens of the United States are not lacking in patriotism" said D. C.. Logan, well known Birmingham mem- Der of the National Association for the Deaf, yesterday.
 ''In the hope x-President Theodore Roosevelt may accept our offer to recruit for his division a regiment of deaf sharpshooters, the National associa- tion, through J. F. Meagher of Vancou- yer, Washington, is taking census of able-bodied young deaf men who are eager to defend their country.
 Tt is claimed deaf rlarksmen are unex- celled at trench fighting, being unable to hear the whistle of not, bursting of shell, and shrieks of the dying which un- nerve even tried veterans Three com panies of deaf infantrymen in German uniforms were taken prisoner at Ypres. Commands, issued with one sweep of the arms. could be distinguished even above the ear-splitting below of Big Bertha. Young marksmen are wanted, primar- fly, but I fancy Teddy will take all the deaf cooks, bakers butchers. team sters blacksmiths. horseshoers, automo- bile drivers, mechanics and motorcyclists available. So consistently have we been | sneered at and belittled by those unaware of the fact that deaf are editors, archi- tects, lawyers, ministers-yes, there are even two deaf policemen one in Rome 1 N. r., and one in Vancouver, Wash, and fo,,. f.,l.- e | to man we are eager to enlist if the chance comes and prove to America the deaf are neither idiots nor slackers"

TURKISH ROOM GONE W York Correspondence. in Pittsburg

New York COrreSpOndence, Tn PlttSburg
 Dispatch.
 The famous Turkish room of the Wal doft-Astoria is no more. During the last few weeks workmen have been busy tear ing out oriental mosaics, Moorish arches and pillars. and other decorations that generation ago made the room one of the most talked about reception rooms in the country. In few days the doors will open upon new offices for firm of brokers After the old Waldorf was first opened, no visitor from out of town was considered to have viewed the fullest splendor of New York until he had taken a peep at the Turkish room Of recent years, owing to the change in the popular taste, the decorations and furnishings of the room have seemed so gloomy in com parison with those of the Marie Anton- cite room which joins, that women visi- tors have fioclled to the latter and neg lected the oriental atmosphere next door, so when George Boldt. Jr.. was recently urged to rent the room for business pur- poses he decided that the Turkish room should go.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Flag RaIsIng nt noxIcs

The flag raising at Boyles was a great success said John Matthews, terminal trainmaster of the Louisville and Nash vile, yesterday afternoon 'The Stars and Stripes were raised to the summit of new s5-foot flag pole Sunday after noon and there were probably 2OOO peo- pie present to witness the ceremony.
 It was published however, that the boys band had furnished the music on this occasion. This is 8 mistake. Mem oils band was on hand and furnished music, which was highly enjoyed by everyone and which contributed much to the success of the affair think MT Memoli and his players should have due crdit for the part they took in making the occasion such success"
