 A painful scene was enacted last night at the park when Shorty" one of the bears, had the toothache. After careful examination the keeper decided that the tooth would have to be pulled. It was also feared that the bear might object to the operation so MT. Allen further de- cided that the patient had better be put to sleep during the process. Two bottles of chloroform were obtained and after summoning all the aid available the keep CTS advanced on the unsuspecting animal. Shorty was trusting and docilely allowed himself to be chained. At the first whif of the anesthetic, however, his faith in the goodness of mankind changed to a deep and abiding suspicion. He gave a tremendous lunge. broke his chain growled, shook his head looked around and found himself alone in the cage. The would-be dentists were various distances away, according to the start each one got, but everyone showed a sincere de- sire to increase the distance. The tooth pulling has been indefinitely postponed, and if it ever is tried again 1t is prob able that 1t will De another bunch of men who make the attempt.

Big Campaign For Marine Recruits
 To Begin Today

The big campaign for mare men in the marine corps begins today all over the United States About 4OO0 men are still needed to bring this corps to full war strength, and a strenuous effort will be made to get these men this week. Va rious cities have been apportioned the number of men they should furnish, and the number assessed Birmingham is 40. Sergeant l.. F. Hill, in charge of the local recruiting office, has been waging a widespread campaign of advertising, and is very hopeful of obtaining his 40 men. Applicants will be accepted for the duration of the war now, and the pay of the men has been increased Quick action is promised all recruits, with no long period of preliminary training. In the history of the marine corps there has never been any drafted men in the service, and every effort will be made to maintain this record by coming up to war strength this week with volunteer recruits.
 Yesterday was very fair day for Sum- day at all the recruiting offices. It is probable that some men will have to be
 
 to it's full strength, but the recruiting officers are going to obtain as many men as possible before this goes intp effect. The first batch of men examined and &C., cepted for the regular army yesterday consisted of the following: Albert G. Campbell, Scottsboro, medical depart ment; Clyde F. Elkins, Scottsboro in- fantry; Claud c. Caut, Sheffield engin- eers corps; Owen Shelton, Lexington, infantry; Walter w. Sullivan, Seaboard engineers corps.
 Ambulance Company No. l, Alabama National Guard, enlisted two men yes- terday: Norris Bailey and Leon Hen nigan. Only 40 more men are needed for this company, and these men are ex- pected to be obtained within the next two weeks. This company was organ ized last summer during the trouble on the Mexican border. and is composed en- trely of Birmingham boys
 Eight were examined for the medical reserve corps yesterday. This corps is being recruited by pr. Gaston Rogers and Dr. J. M. Lowery. The men ac- cepted are put on reserve list, and are subject to the call of their country, but have no immediate duties. The recruit ing offices of the corps are in the city physicians office in the cty hall.

4 POSITIVE CHRIST
 THEME OF SERMON
Children's Day at Independ- ent Presbyterian Church
 Patriotic Affair

Preaching to an attentive audience last night at the Lyric theatre, Dr. Henry M. Edmonds of the Independent Presby- terian church said the young people are scared away from espousing the Christian life because it appears so mar row and so dead" He said Christ has been held up as a severe judge, ready to condemn men wholly"
 Discussing the Christ who "came to give life and give it more abundantly," he said; Much preaching and thinking of Christ had been in terms of mega tion denial and of warning of ex- pression, a bundle of negation and re- straint The young people are scared away from espousing the Christian life because it appears so narrow and so dead, so altogether lifeless and unattrac- tive. They will have none of it, because the Christ has been held up as a severe judge, ready to condemn men wholly whereas He tells us plainly, I am not come to judge, but that men might have life through Me Live life as you find 1t, take Jesus Christ into all of it's phases of activity, of pleasure and in time of sorrow and trouble. He fits into all life. His enemies criticized Him be- cause He entered into the life of the common people, and ate and drank with the sinners-negative criticism against positive attitude He saw in all men potential stature and acted out His faith in His fellows"
 CHILDREN'S DAY
 Children of the Sunday school yester- day morning carried out a most attrac- tive programme. the occasion being the celebration of Children's Day. There was no services during the morning at the temple, the time having been given to the children's programme, which con- sisted of songs and recitations. Probably the most attractive feature was the pageant, led by Miss Dorothy Davis, who was Columbia" Miss Davis had around her a large American flag. Boys and girls carried flags of Other nations of the world, and these were handed to Miss Davis
 Probably the most interesting and touching scene came when "Columbia' folded all the flags of other nations into the large American flag and walked away. The Star-Spangled Banner was unfurled at the top of the organ loft. The audience arose and saluted the col ors when the organ peeled forth The Star-Spangled Banner
 Singing America the children, led by the pastor. laid down their flags be- fore the banner of the cross,' hung aloft-a red cross on a white ground
 Large flags of nations engaged in the war-alies of the United States were hung from the galleries and the organ loft was almost covered by the Stars and Stripes" The tri-color and the union jack were hung near the pull pit

Speaking for the real estate men, the future of Birmingham appears brighter now than ever before, and 1t will not be long before the good eff fects of the decision of the Steel cor poration will be felt by every busi- ness man and individual in the city, said Hill Ferguson. prominent local real estate man. "The immediate ef- feet will be to rent the few vacant residences in the Birmingham district, because the corporation will have skilled men constructing the plant at Fairfield and these men, with families, will move immediately to Birming- ham.
 A greater thing for the district could not happen. The very fact that the 100000 appropriation has been an
 nounced will have tendency to stim-
 ulate business in every line. It will
 take months to spend the money, but in the meantime Birmingham will be
 prospering from the expenditure of the millions.
 Birmingham should feel proud of

 district. Birmingham owes MT. Ed
 mcnds debt of gratitude for the in- tereSt ne mas SnOWn m the city" JOE LOVEMAN
 "The butcher the baker and the can- delstick maker will feel the effects of the expenditure of $11.O0O,O00 by the
 United States Steel corporation in the Birmingham district,' is the way Joe Joveman. of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, explains the most significant develop ment in the history of the Birmingham
 district. The expenditure will mean the merchants and the general public will profit 1t Is one of the most in- portant of the many developments in the past years.
 When this money is spent in the Birmingham district the merchants will profit directly, because of the
 employment of large forces of skilled
 men who will bring their families to the city. Merchants will have to get d larger supply of goods for the fam flies of the laborers and the prosperity
 of the district will be imm mediately re- flected in unmlstakable terms. Say for me that more significant thing could not happen at this time in the Birmingham district Everybody should be proud that Birmingham has been favored by the Steel corporation and BirminR ham will be more prosper ous than ever before.'
