BIRMINGHAM ID BE
 AN AVIATION UNIT

Birmingham has been chosen as the loca ton of an examining unit for avia- tors to comprise the great air fleet the United States will send to Europe to blind the eyes of the German armies and win the world war. A permanent med ical board will be established here. and the work started at once of choosing a large quota of men from this ter ritorv to take up aviation training that will be necessary for the 2oOOO fliers the war department expects to send to France and the other battle fronts
 The announcement of the designation Of this city as one of the stations was made by pr Samuel l.. Ledbetter It followed receipt of advice from Maj. Isaac H. Jones of the medical depart men of the aviation section, who will be here September 1T to establish the medical examining board and to start it's work
 The war department wants to select the nerviest young men for the service. IL believes that there are hundreds of that type here and in the surrounding territory. The location of the examin- ing unit here means the door to the a,rny,s most exacting service is open to the right type of man.
 Although full plans for the unit were not disclosed 1t was thought a wide range of territory would be covered from here Other units are being established at Omaha, Denver and St Louis Lo- cal physicians will be the medical ex- aminers They will be taught how to give the physical examinations to de- terinine whether or not the applicant has the aviation sense" The examina- tions have been standardized, after lengthy studies by medical officers of the regular army who had before them the knowledge gained by the armies of France. England, Italy, Russia and the other entente countries.
 Officials of the Jefferson County Med- lcal society have arranged for a public meeting at the Tutwiler hotel on Sep tember r at 8:3o p. m, at which Major Jones will explain the service in de- tall. Definite information concerning the unit here then will be made and the requirements explained. All interested persons are invited to attend the meet ing

DR. F.E. HARRINGTON
 SUBMITS REPORT ID. MEDICAL SOCIETY.
The Former Health Officer Makes Many Suggestions in Reference to Health
 Conditions Here

The Jefferson County Medical society which is the county board of health, Monday night heard the report of pr. F. F. Harrington, county health officer, resigned on account of being called back to his duties with the govern ment, and took no action on the resig- lgnation of Dr. T. D. Rarke chairman of the committee of censorship and public health. pr. Parke's successor will be chosen at the meeting next enday night.
 Pr. Harrington's report follows:
 On March IA obtained from the state board of health the privileges of administering the Pasteur treatment in Birmingham as state branch, and l recommend that this treatment be con- tinued.
 The several incorporate sections in Jefferson county should be encourage 70 align themselves with the public health movement inaugurated by tle society and to provide the proper ma chinery for registration and for sani t.lis supervision.

suaded that no matter how great the energy Of coal producers may be, never tkcless the surplus of coal over the de- mand will be very slight, if there be any surplos In this view the railway board at Washington agrees.
 1t is believed that it may be necessary to adopt some method for the conser- vation Of fuel similar in it's general fea- lures to the methods Mir. Hoover has adopted for the conservation of food The railway board at Washington has urged that there be as great economy as possible in the use of gas and electric light for Tn that way some coal can be saved. It recommends that while the war lasts there be an abandonment of the brilliant illumination of stores and theatres, and that the so-called Great White Ways be eliminated
 Another recommendation made by the railway war board refers to the Amer ican railroads to the end that they might by cooperation and perfecting economies reduce passenger train serv- ice They have already, through agree ment, so reduced passenger train serv- ice as to make 1t possible to save a lit- tie over 1000,000 tons of coal a year. Much of this reduction has been ac- complished east of Chicago, but the railway war board believes that it is possible to secure reduction of passenger service ir Minnesota and the Dakotas and elsewhere by the simple method of operating mixed trains upon branch lines and by runnings trains on slower time schedules on the main lines Inconve- nient as this may be, nevertheless the public will probably complain little or not at all because it will be understood that the method Is a war measure
 There car be substitutes for coal for fael purposes and the people are urged to get together for the winter as large supplies of wood as possible Howard Elliott suggests that there be careful in- vestigation made as to the practica ability of using straw and cornstalks properly baled and pressed in those parts of the country that are remote from coal and wood. He has obtained some statistics which show that thousands of tons of straw and cornstalks are now burned on the fields, that being the easiest way to get rid of them.
 MT. Elliott wonders whether there may not be avai able use made of the semi- peat in northern Minnesota. The rail- way war board has an experience of 10 years ago for its guidance in attemptine to secure an available fuel supply. For in the winter of 1907 when the snow fell last ana Tn enormous deposits causing blockades which extended for hundreds of miles, there occurred temporary coal famine in the northwest. It would have been very serious had it been continued for some weeks. Cooperating as the railway board is with Mir Hoover. so that there can be adequate transportaion for food, it also regards the problem of the fuel supply for next winter as al most If not quite as serious as is the question of securing abundant food SUD- plies fer our own people with some to spare for the allies

 Mir. Weatherly stated that he felt that his usefulness was at an end in the city commission, and that he had made up his mind to this effect. and was sure that it was best for him to retire from the service of the city at this time.

smallpox be rigidly enforced. I sug- gest to you that a central laboratory for Jefferson county should be instt- tuted. further suggest that as soon as practicable a central office for the administration of public health work of all of Jefferson county be procured, coordinate city and county adminis- tration in conjunction with the central laboratory above suggested.
 T have further to suggest that the three-mile limit around Birmingham be policed with sanitary inspectors, and brought up to the standard required by ordinances of the city of Birmingham For the city itself I suggest revision of tEs salary table, so that employees In thsj health office doing special tech nicai work be compensated accordingly and that the inspectors employed in the distant sections of the city be mounted on horseback.
 FUTURE POLICIES
 ''The above recommendations are of fered as a suggestion only, for the con- tinuation of activities already started and not in the sense of dictating to the board of health what it's future policies should be.
 T feel confident that the action of the surgeon general In ordering me to re- turn to active duty will remove from the st<-rmy paths of public health actiyi- ties ,n Jefferson county one of the ob- stacles that has stimulated the heated opposition that so far prevented loai- cal and sensible progress and has re- suited only in damage, and to the defEi- ment of the innocent sufferer.
 T trust that this antagonism will cease and that health protection can now pc given to those who are in need and who have been the sufferers because of the short sighted policy employed.
 "I desire to express to the committee of health my sincere appreciation of the support they have given me. I also wish 10 thank the society for the indorsement they have given my appointments and activities, and to thank the members for the cooperative assistants that they have given me in my endeavors as health officer, and offer thanks to those citi- zens of Jefferson county either as offt- cials or in their civil capacities for such co-operation and encouragement as they have given me.
 THANKS ASSISTANTS
 ITO Dr. J. M .Lowrey, for his able and efficient assistance and to all of the em- ployes of the department both city and county, whose unceasing endeavors have made such success as may be accorded my administration. I wish to record my thanks and apprecia ton.
 T wish to extend my thanks to the press for the publicity they have given the efforts made to bring before the peo- pie of Jefferson county information for their benefit.
 FIn closing I ask of the board of health and all officials and citizens a united support of my successor with the hope that Jefferson county will shortly take it's stand for health progress among the enlightened communities in our great na- ton.
 1T leave Birmingham and Jefferson relirauish the work with feeling of having performed my conscientious duty.
