BOY SCOUTS GIVEN
 PRAISE BY MASONS

Much has been said of the Boy Scout organization since it's beginning. and since the opening of the war compliments have been heaped high upon the boys who are assisting in every possible manner 10 bring the war to a close by attending to things at home which formerly re- quired men.
 It is apparent from the following let ter that the scouts again proved them selves worthy of praise in the great Ma sonic parade Wednesday afternoon. The scouts were everywhere in evidence and rendered excellent service in handling the crowds of people which lined the streets for period of several hours. The letter is from the executive committee of the Masonic order, who had charge of the parade and is as follows:
 My Dear Sir: This committee feels that it would be extremely ungrateful if it did not convey to you the most sincere and earnest thanks of the committee for the splendid manner in which the crowds on yesterday were handled by your or ganization. Their services were invalu- able and I wish to take this occasion on behalf of the committee to assure you of our greatest sympathy in the work which IS DelnS OOlc TUT tiiS yOuIS po9S pl your organization. Their efficient activi- ties yesterday indicates to us that they are being actuated by high and lofty mo- tives and ideals, and we want you to know how much we appreciated your CO., operation in making the corner stone parade the success which was apparent. do not know what we would have done if we had not been able to enlist your aid, and we would like to have you ex-
 press to all subordinate scoutmasters and boys of the rank that we feel ex- tremely grateful to them, and should the occasion arise whereby this fraternity could be of assistance to the Boy Scouts of America, we should certainly be glad to do whatever is in our power to aid them.
 Again thanking you and assuring you of our highest regards for the Boy Scout organization, beg to remain, very respectfully

Judge Abernethy Transfers "BLue" Sunday Cases to Grand
 Jury at Instance Of Solicitor
Druggists Considering
 Closing Stores Sunday
Shortage in Sugar Curtals Fountain DrinksPetton Be- ing Circulated to Get Majority of Drug Store
 Owners to Sign Up Agreement

constables in making a large number of arrests last Sunday had nothing to do with their action. It was stated that the supreme court in the recent case of Stoi- lenwerck vs, the state. which went up from Greensboro. held that drug stores were violating no law of the state in keeping open on Sunday and that as they were legally open they had the right to sell anything in stock without sub jecting themselves to indictment.
 The recent order of the food adminis tration curtailing the amount of sugar to soda fountains and soft drink estab- lishments may use to 80 per cent of nor nal consumption will make it necessary for many of these places to close at lease one day in the week whether the agreement 10 close on Sundays goes through or not. Some of the druggists present at the meeting stated that the weekly supply of sugar allowed them was exhausted at the end of the sixth day, especially since warm weather began increasing the demand for soft drinks

With the cooperation of the Civic as- sociation and the Alabama Sociological congress. the campaign for 1000 members of the Southern Sociological congress m Alabama was launched yesterday from the Birmingham headquarters by Edu- cational Secretary J. l..

Meantime. sepa- rate campaign is being conducted with the goal of 1000 members of the congress in Birmingham.

 J. l.. Sibley, secretary of the Alabama congress; pr. Morris Newfield. who was chairman of the Civic association execu- tive committee, and Dr. Middleton S- Barnwcll, have gone into various parts of the state to arouse enthusiasm for the work of the southern congress and to secure meembers. Miss Mary Brooks is alos engaged in the field work.
 TASKS CONFRONT SOUTH Tasks confront the south during this war which call for the earnest consider ation of every thinker and doer of things in this territory" said Secretary Me- Cullocn yesterday. The pressing prop-
 lens of conserving labor. for the con tentment of labor and the conservation of health and the children of the iand must solved. Then there is the moro acute question of race relations
 The purpose of the Southern congress
 with the state congress and the local units is to have compact and active or ganization of the humane forces in every state to apply in every community the lessons which are brought to us by our recognized leaders, but which count for little rnless they are put in practice. Dr. Barnwell as president of the Ala I bama Sociological congress is behind l the movement for the increased mem | bership in the southern congress ana the campaign is also receiving the cos | operation of the Birmingham Association | of Social Workers. In early June thls organization will hold it's annual meet l ing and will probably prepare pro- gramme of energetic action during the l coming year

A FOur-Minute Speech By LAURENs wHIPPLE JONES. Jr.
 Aged II Years. Fourth Grade, Lakeview School.

We are in a terrible war. Maybe we can't fight, but we can buy Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds
 Our soldiers go far across the ocean toE lose their lives for us; it looks like we could do without can dies and other things that we don't need, and put the money into bonds, SC that Uncle Sam may buy ships to send our soldiers across the sea to fight for us and make guns for them to fight with.
 If we do without things we will win the war, but if we don't, we will lose it, and if we lose the war they will come over here and treat us Nike they did the Belgians.'

FARMERS WANT MANY
 LABORERS AT ONCE
United States Employment Bureau Wants to Aid Farmers, Who
 Need Help Badly

The local United States employment agency. in the Chamber of Commerce building, has applications from farmers for several laborers. Men with families are wanted by several of the farmers, and to attract this class of labor free homes and gardens and good wages are offered.
 Reports coming into the office state that in many instances the growing crops are suffering from the lack of cultivation and that unless labor is se- cured at once irreparable damages will result.
 No effort is being made to send men away from the Birmingham district, 1t was stated at the local agency yesterday but on the contrary, all laborers will be kept here.

 Moonshiners

 Over 75 gallons of corn whisky were captured and destroyed, as we'll as about 2300 gallons of mash and beer. The fire under the still was burning when the deputies reached the still, after running the gauntlet of stream of bullets from the moonshiners.
