MEETING AT
BOOSTERS CLUB
Q N F R | D A Y

A special meeting of the executive
committee and all officers and COM
mittees of the Logan Chapter and It's
units will be held at the CONNER
cial Club, Friday at o'clock. Any
officers of the nearby branches who
may find IL convenient to attend the
meeting are welcome. Mr.. Oxley,
field agent of the Mountain Division
will be present and discuss matters
relative to the work. Reports of the
convention held at Denver will also
be made. A full representation is
desired.
Many demands from the various
branches in the county are coming
in for something to do. The local
chapter expects large shipment OF
yarn every day. When 1t is received
1t will be distributed and every
branch and auxiliary will have work.
The committee has purchased all the
yarn 1t could find here, and articles
are being made as fast as possible.
All the schools Of the city and
county have been asked to secure at
least one Christmas packet from
each room for the soldiers and sail
ors of America. No packet is to
exceed $50 in value, and must
be sent to the Red Cross headquar-
ters, in the Shamhart-Christians
building, not later than November
Is, so they may be received in
France for Christmas. The amount
of time and money to prepare these
packets is very small and it is ex-
pected that good many will be
received. 1t will cultivate the spir-
it of giving among the children and
will make them feel that they are
taking . part in the great world
conflict.

German Sea Raider
Destroyed BY Fire

A PACIFIC PORT. Oct. 3d.
Count Graf Won Luckner, command
err Of the German raider Seeadler,
told Fiji Island newspaper CORES
pondents, when captured near the
Jifis recently, that the raider was
destroyed by fire 1000 miles from
land, according to officers of a ves-
sci which arrived here yesterday
with details Of the counts capture.
Previous reports were that the YES
sci was wrecked on an island.
The count also asserted that the
Seeadler destroyed twenty-five
steamers and sailing vessels on its
cruise. All the crews were sent to
shore.
His favorite plan, he said, was to
send out a wireless message asking
for the time. Someone would oblige
him and often the ship supplying
the time was tracked and sunk.

himself.
Keeping her suspicious to herself,
Bah decided to go out for the two
hundred dollar reward which was
offered for the capture of the thief.
In the meantime Leila. Bab's
sister, whom the romantic child was
trying to marry off to the old friend
of the family. Carter Brooks, had
been acting quite strangely.
Bah, however. was too much occu-
pied with the capture of her bur

dining room table ESQ as not to 60

{ At last her opportunity knocked
and she had visions Of the two hun

shrubbery OF the garden who soon
enters the library windows which
Bah had left open to trap him. Sud-
denly bag is let down from an up
per window and Bah realizes that
there is what she had not counted
upon-an accomplish.
She keeps her nerve, however, and
when she thinks them both safe in
the library. locks the window from
the outside and shoots decrepit old
revolver which she had begged from
the gardener. The family, thorough.

England had been able to pay on its

considerable sums from the recent
revenue for the necessities of the
war.

The Standard oil company was de- nounced, likened to robber, dubbed an "oligarchy. discriminating against this city," and was the object of oth- CT derision at the meeting of the com mission yesterday morning. But in the wind-up it was given six months contract to furnish the city with its store of gasoline and lubricating oils.
 It offered to furnish the city its supply of gasoline at charge of 2 cents under the market price and quoted a flat rate of 32 cents for lub- ricating oils. Furthermore. the Stan dard Oil company. through it's repre- sentative. offered a 2 per cent dis count for payment within 30 days.
 Commissioner Barber voted mo" He was firmly of the opinion that the city ought to construct its own tanks. From the representatives of the oil companies which submitted bids for the contract he attempted to draw an- swers to his queries why gasoline was sold without contract to the city of Nashville at 17h cents a. gallon. He quizzed them about their inability to give Birmingham a flat contract for gasoline
 Before he finished he delivered a warm tirade against the Standard oil company. "It is an oligarchy that Is discriminating against this city," he added. These oil companies that are charging exorbitant prices to the city should pay a tax for their arbitrary

ADVENT CHURCHMEN RAISE OVER S50OO Contribute Literally to Per- petual Pension Fund for
 Aged Clergymen

In less than 15 minutes the sum of $5000 and 10 per cent over was raised by the congregation of the Church of the Ad- vent at a meeting held last night. The sum was the allotment or assessment against the church for the perpetual pen sion fund of $5,000,0Oo that Is to be raised for the payment of retired Episcopal min isters or their dependents.
 Over 100 men and women of the church attended the banquet held last night at the parish house, when the plans of rais- ing the fund and it's aims and purposes were explained. Among the speakers were the Right Rev. c. M. Beclxwith, bishop of Alabama; Secretary Rankin of Sewanee university, the Rev. M. s. Barn. well, Robert Jemison, ST.. and others.
 The plans as stated were to the effect that a sum of $5.000,O0o was to be raised among the Episcopal churches of the country to create a perpetual fund for the payment of pensions of Episcopal clergymen on reaching the age of 65 and the widows and children of deceased ministers.
 It was stated that nearly $4.000,0oo has been raised and that Alabamas quota of the balance is s3O,o00. Of this amount the Church of the Advent was assessed s5o0O That $500 Sover this amount was raised last night is evidence of the ready response of the parishioners to this cause. The other Episcopal churches of the dis trict will hold meetings this week for the same cause.

REPORT ON HEALTH
 LAWS IS EXPECTED

It is not unlikely that the city att torney will finish his study of the Alabama state health laws today and that he will render his report to the commission.
 In event this work should be com pleted the hoard would be in a posi- tion to take action relative to the health plans. The point that the city attorney must determine is whether or not the stipulation that the all- time county health officer must devote all of his time to the work of the county means that he cannot do other health work. or whether 1t means that he cannot devote time to the practice of medicine.
 Commissioner Hornady has made it clear that he believes the city should work co-operativeiy rather than by adopting the unified health system plans.
