Colonel Owens Says Birmingham Seems to Have Ideal Location for Proposed RecOnstruc-
 tion Hospital

Birmingham seems to have an ideal location for the proposed government re- construction hospital, as far as my opin- ion on the subject goes.' said Col. ". M. Owens at the meeting of the Jefferson Co-nty Medical society at the Tutwiler last night. Colonel Owens and Maj. E. c. Bracket of Surgeon General Will liam C. Gorgas staff, were the guests of honor and both made splendid talks to those present.
 "Orthopedic Work in Reconstruction Hospitals was the subject chosen by Major Bracket, while Colonel Owens spoke on Medical Organization Work in the Army" The talks, of course, were more or less confined to topics concern ing the profession, and many of those hearing the discussions were profuse in their thanks to both speakers for the facts made known to them. The ball. room of the hotel was we'll filled, prob ably 300 people being present.
 X very interesting feature of the even- ing's entertainment was the moving pie lures, descriptive by example of an army mans tutorage in the arts of courtesy and discipline, and of the living examples of what may be done by those who are unfortunate in being deprived of the use of different parts of their body. Many examples were thrown on the screen, showing expert typists with one arm ab- sent, man using a hammer and nails with only one arm. writing letters, and others.
 'sI am not at liberty to state my own opinion on the matter of the desirability of the Southside prison for the pro- posed reconstruction hospital or to di- vulge the nature of the report that l will make to headquarters; the only thing can say is that I thoroughly agree with the statement Colonel Owens made few minutes ago." said Major Brack- ett to an Age-Herald representative last nicht.
 .'The city itself will be a great fac tor in the selection. am sure, and it is admirably suited to the purpose from many standpoints There can be no definite idea at present of when this re- port will be acted upon. because there Is really no pressing need for the hos pital''

 Now he is one of the thousands in training at the naval training school at Newport. R. I. Furthermore, he has brand new hand made sweater and thereby hangs an interesting story. Barr is full -blooded, IT, year-old American boy, eager to do his part, and his story is perhaps best told in two letters writ ten to Mrs. E. w Barrett, who has been specially interested in the work of the Navy league and other prof ects for the comfort of the boys who Ego down to the sea in ships"
 The first letter came last month and was as follows:
 Newport, R. l., October 15, 1917. Mrs Barrett. care Navy League,
 Birmingham, Ala;
 Dear Mrs. Barrett-This letter is from Birmingham "boy" in the navy, undergoing training in the Newport naval training station at Newport, R. I. The object in writ ing is to remind you of a prom ise made on the night of August 2S, 1917, in The Age Herald mail room. I worked for The Age-Her- aid from November, 1916, to Au- gust 28, 1917. I left on August 30 to come to Newport to begin train ing for the hospital corps
 Your promise. that if I sent you submarine you would send me one of the Navy leagues sweaters
 Now that we--the navy-have bagged sub" I herewith apply for said sweater.
 I'll send you the U-boat along about Christmas time, if l don't get to come home then.
 It is sure cold here. We are only allowed one regulation sweat CT and that is not sufficient to keep some of the boys from the south warm. So you see the logic in wanting to wear one that is "hand-made"

 In the past city cars have cost the city of Birmingham around $200O per month for gas and tires. President Bar rett says that this must stop.
