 The following proclamation has been dent of the Birmingham city commits sion:
 sThe council of national defense, committee on child welfare and the United States department of labor, children's bureau, have set aside the anniversary of America's entry into the war, April 6, as the beginning of better babies year throughout the country The idea is to reduce child mortality during this time by at least 100, 900 in order to replace, through child conservation. lives of American soldiers lost on the battlefield. What war destroys the Cnll0 must Dullu VIZ.
 .1n Jefferson county 1926 babies tln- der years died in 1917. This death rate is high compared to that of other sections of the country with equal population, according to Robert Ca- yard, southern field secretary of the National Child Welfare association; and most of these deaths were due to preventable causes. He sets Jefferson county's quota of babies to be saved at 650.
 I've can best save our children for ourselves and for our country by knowing how to properly care for them.
 "An exhibit on child conservation in war time will be held in the old Saks building, corner First avenue and Nineteenth street, from April 15 to 90, under the auspices of the Birmingham Civic association, county health ce- partment and National Child Welfare association.
 'aThis week is, therefore, set aside as child welfare week in Birmfng- ham, during which time everyone in this city is expected to spend all pos sible time in learning more about chill dren and their care through the ex- kibit and other sources.
 "The exhibit is free.
 'T, therefore. call upon every loyal man and woman in Birmingham to seq the exhibit
 Birmingham has gone over the top in every other patriotic movement; now. let us go over the top in saw irg babies. DIR. N. A. BARRETT, President Board of Commissioners"

ALLIED ARMIES ID CONTINUE CANVASS
 FOR BOND SALES
Liberty Loan Workers Will Launch Drive Into the Farthest Corners of
 District

After their day of rest, Liberty Bond today on the second lap of the third cam paign. Imbued with the spirit of patri- otism and surcharged with desire to see Birmingham more than do her bit, the allied armies will drive their troops to the furthest corners of the city that no one may be slighted or denied the opportunity to '1lck-in." In the Bir- mingham zone. comprising 10 counties, an exhaustive canvass will also be made and speakers will continue to arouse the peo- pie as they have done during the past week
 As an instance of the good work bc- ing done by street corner orators. Alex ander City subscribed to s50,000 in bonds after listening to 8 speech by Major Atkinson Saturday. This live town pulled off a. parade of 200o people and in addi- eion to the amount above referred to pledged themselves to raise $2o,O0o in Third Libertys."
 The quota of Jefferson county. outside of the city, is $s85.000, of which s36o.0O has already been subscribed. A number of prospects yet remain to be seen in the outlying sections and' this sum will probably be greatly exceeded when the totals come in.
 q wish you would urge all citizens, who have not been solicited by tho allied armies or workers, to come to Liberty Loan headquarters or to any bank and make their subscriptions, said H. w. Coffin, chairman of the Greater Birming- ham committee. By doing this they will not only save time, but assist us mate- rially in attaining the high goal we have set out to reach. In & large and scat tered community like Birmingham 1t Is very difficult to get in touch with every wage earner who is able to buy bonds. so we must appeal to the public to vol uuteer in this campaign"

 "The Loyal South Advancing Level With Firing Line" is the slogan of the seventh annual meeting of the Southern Sociological congress. The crowds that packed the auditorium of the First Methodist church and the Lyric theatre last night testified by their attention and their applause that the people of Birmingham are alive to the seriousness of war and are ready to do their best to win the war.
 Albert Johnson. member of Congress from Washington, vividly described the trip which he and nine fellow con- grcssmen made to England, Belgium and France. where at frst-hand he learned about the airplane raids made on London to terrorize the civilian population by murdering defenseless women and children; saw the great military hospitals, where soldiers are bcing given the most careful and scientific treatment; and discovered how wisely Red Cross money is being spent

trucks with which to handle the large

The way in which the little truck is

many tractors now at work, is caus-
ing most favorable comment. AS one
man said the other day: st shows
very plainly that the Ford Company

GOES DIFFICULT OPERATION

Charles. the little 6-year old son of
Joe Wertz, underwent very diff

city Dr. F. G. Dutton was called
Sunday morning to attend the child,
who, it was found, was afflicted with
a serious case of empyema, caused by
pneumonia. After thorough dag
nosis and examination, it was found
necessary to perform an operation, in
which a portion of one rlD on the
right side was removed. allowing the
escapement of large gathering. Mrs.
John Sowders and Mrs. Finley Dye as
sisted DR.. Dutton with the operation
thus helping to save TIE life of the
boy, who lowered between life and
death for two days. At this writing
we understand the boy is slowly re-
gaining his strength and is now re-
ported as out of danger.
