His Fatal Oversight.

He proposed to her by mail, and by
letter she replied; he read her brief
refusal, then committed suicide. Alas
he'd be alive today, and she a happy
bride, had he but read the postscript,
penned on the other side.

FORMAL REPEAL OF STREET TAX VOTED BY COMMISSIONERS Routine Subjects Disposed of at Regular Weekly
 Meeting of Board
 Yesterday
No street tax will be levied after July

No street tax will be levied after July
 At the regular meeting of the board
 of commissioners yesterday. an ordinance
 repeating the street tax ordinance was in-
 troduced by Commissioner Truss and
 adopted unanimously.
 In presenting the ordinance, Commis-
 sioner Truss stated that he still held the
 same views which caused him to espouse
 the levying of the street tax last year.
 Whereupon Commissioner Barber inquired
 of Commissioner Truss how he could vote
 to repeal an ordinance which he believed
 to be so just and so equitable.
 Commissioner Hornady and Mayor
 Ward each heartily favored the repeal of
 the ordinance.
 At the meeting of the board yesterday,
 mainly routine matters were disposed of.
 A weekly pay roll of s1S0o; contractors
 estimates to the amount of Sl20O and mis- celaneous bills in the sum of $5000 were approved.
 Improvement ordinances for the paving
 with sheet asphalt of Cedar street and Pearson avenue, in West End, costing about S20,000 were confirmed. Commissioner Barber cast a dissenting vote upon the resolution to renew the gasoline and lubricating oil contract with the Standard Oil company. He made a brief speech calling the attention of his colleagues to the fact that the federal trade commlSSlon, although thelr report was year and a half late, agreed With him that the Standard Oil company was | a trust; that it controlled 50 per cent 1 of the output and that 1t fixed the prIces | for all independent companies. The city consumes approximately $500 worth of gasoline and lubricating oil for it's automobiles each month, and the pur- chasing agent stated to the board that by renewing the contract with the Standard Oil company about 6 cents per gallon could be saved on the city's lubricating oil supply The board was undecided whether to ap- ply the s1700 collected from the insurance companies for damage by fire to the Pratt City hall in putting the building in first class shape. Commissioner Hornady thought the entire amount should be spent to provide the citizens of Pratt City first class public building as good at any rate as before the fire damage. The city engineer was directed to re- place the broken windows and to report on what was needed to put the building i in condition for public meetings. Commissioner Truss complained that he had no men nor money to operate the street department He produced Superin- to prove it. Commissioner Barber said l there would be even less convicts for street work after the bone-dry'' law was operative. Mayor Ward promised relief in the next budget. Immediately after adjournment, the board went into executive session.

Recruits Badly Needed
 10 FiU AlQbdn1d's Quota
Captain Hutchinson Points Out Necessity For CoOperato To Bring Up Number of Recruits to the Figures
 Asked For By President


 Captain Hutchinson, who is in charge of recruiting for the state of Alabama, is going to make strenuous efforts to have his district do it's full share in fur nishing the 10000 men that the President has asked for this week for the regular army. Enlistments for the regular army have been slow, hut now that the Pres ident has issued personal call, and everyone realizes the necessity of bring ing the army up to full war strength as soon as possible, the captain believes that the young men will respond more freely, and that no difficulty will be en- countered in getting all the men needed. The quota of men that Alabama was requested to furnish from April to June 30 is 4276 Of this number only 1340 men have thus far volunteered. leaving 2956 men to be furnished between now and July 1 if Alabama is to furnish her quota. This is large number of men to get on short notice, but Captain Hutchinson believes it can be done if the business men and patriotic societies will cooperate with him.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-27

Captain Hutchinson's plan for obtain ing the men is for every business man to get one recruit. He thinks the real reason that men are not volunteering more freely is that they dislike the idea of leaving positions which it may have taken them years to reach to accept lower pay Captain Hutchinson also be- lieves that there are numbers of substan- tial business men in Birmingham who would like to do their bit, but who are unable to go because of age or physical disability. If each of these men would take one young man in their employ and offer to reserve his place for him until he return and to continue to pay him his salary, or the difference between it and what he would receive in the army, the captain does not doubt but that the men needed to fill the ranks would be forthcoming at once and that the quota could be raised without trouble.
 Captain Hutchinson says that he would gladly give any men who make an offer to do this full credit, Several concerns have already promised to hold positions for employees who enlist and the captain is anxious that as many more as can will follow this patriotic example.

 Birmingham

You May Have What You Want" is the attractive title of a popular health lecture to be given in Birmingham Sun day afternoon, July l. at S:30 o'clock by Robert Bryan Harrison of St. Louis, who is field lecturer for the International New Thought alliance.

 Following is an appreciation by the late pr. c. s. Carr of Ohio, in the Co., llmbus Medical Journal:
 T have listened to the lectures of Robert Bryan Harrison under all sorts of conditions and circumstances. Big audi ences and little audiences. Good. bad and indifferent.
 T have heard him lecture in the morning, in the evening and at midday Always and ever, he is the same good natured optimist
 "Irrepressible faith in the best that is Nothing can distrub his kindliness, his gentleness, his geniality.
 Subject to no nts or moods. the slave of no passion, urged on by no greed or ambition, he bobs up serenely with the same old smile that has become g fixture in his face and figure.
 q like to hear him. Not only because of what he says but how he says it.
 q have travelled with him by night an6 by day, in city and country. l have found him good and sound inside anc outside, and round about. Everybody likes to hear him. His beaming face is a sermon, his quaint humor favored by a slight southern drawl is simply de- lcious. Better than philosophy, more in. spring than theology. His happiness is contagious. No one is immune.
 Loving and lovable. Such is Rober1 Bryan Harrison.'
