 The government permits this. If a young man labors and earns in Birming- ham, but for sentimental or other req sons claims his domicle in the old home town, he has the privilege of registering as from said native burg.
 T am rather glad the government per- mits this,' said the city clerk. Tt is well to mix sentiment with war. It is but nat ural that young fellow should want to march out with his boyhood friends, with bands playing, kerchiefs fiuttering and the home folks waving a fearful fare we'll"

STOP AT CROSSINGS
Automobilists Warned That Law Re-
 quires Full Stop at Steam Tracks

Attention of the public is called to that section of the new traffic laws of the city of Birmingham which refers to mo- tor driven vehicles in crossing the tracks of steam railroads.
 Section A of this code states that all motor driven vehicles, which means trucks for commercial use and automobiles for pleasure must come to complete stop when crossing a steam railroad track, unless watchman is stationed at the crossing and flags the driver across prior to his having stopped This law. it is pointed out, does not seem to be gen erally known, judging from the manner in which it is disregarded.

Record Recently Made in Shipment of 13,OOO,0OO
 Feet to Ft. Riley
RAUL SAYS SOUTH
 WILL GET ITS SHARE
Shobert of Raul Company Has Been Assigned to the Government to Assist in the Selection
 of Sizes

The great resources of the south are being largely called upon by the gov ernment, in its campaign of war prepar- edness, and it's mineral wealth and nat ural resources and agricultural products are destined to prove a big factor in solving the present crisis.
 The southern pine will be one of the big aids to the government in solving the problerl of housing the thousands of troops soon to be called into service is evidenced by the fact that the govern ment is in the market to buy 00o00 900 feet of lumber for the purpose of build zation camps throughout the United States.
 LUMBERMEN PREP AIRED
 In speaking of this matter John L.. Raul of the Kaul Lumber company stated yesterday that the southern lum- bermen were prepared to furnish the government, at short notice, the lumber for the cantonments that will be con- structed in the south through the South ern Pine association, of which he is a member, and he cited the following ex-  ceived in regard to shipment of 19000, GOO feet of lumber for government use at Fort Riley.
 We are especially pleased with the showing made in the prompt movement of that portion of the Fort Riley schedule placed through this association. Within 24 hours after the IS mills, which were assigned to the handling of this particular business were advised of the items to load. 27 cars of material were en route. This will establish a record for our efficiency in handling this busi- ness"
 EXPECTS ITS SHARE
 In reference to the government require- ment of 6Oo0OO,oOO feet of lumber, MT. Raul stated that the Southern Pine as sociation expected to get it's share of the contract and to that end has sent its rep resentative to Washington to present bids as called for. He stated that J. B. Shobert, who is connected with the engi- neering and construction department of the Raul Lumber company, has been as- signed to give assistance to the govern ment in the selection of sizes and kinds of yellow pine lumber most suitable to the present needs.
 MT. Kaul said that this requirement of the government would give a big boost to the lumber industry. for not only lumber for the cantonments is needed, but the government is in the market for large quantities of lumber for shipbuild- ing purposes
 Officers of the Southern Pine associa- ton are: w. H. Sullivan, chairman, Great Southern Lumber company, Boga- lusa, La; John L. Kaul, Kaul Lumber Birmingham; c. A.

TT IS encouraging to know that
thousands upon thousands Of good,
rousing books have been modified
from the working" shelves of the
home libraries to send to the trenches.
Some of the good books are old books
too--old in that they have not been
best sellers within the last couple of
decades. But they are the sort Of
books that persons still faithfully ask
for in tho public libraries and that
no one ever banishes to the attic.
Our soldiers and sailors are very
human. A very good way to judge the
books we pick out for them from the
home shelves is to think first whether
we have enjoyed reading the books
ourselves. What wasn't good enough
for us isn't good enough for the men
who've gone to fight our battles!
