FIVE FREIGHT CARS PILE UP AND BURN
 AT C0TTONDALE Two Cars of Gasoline Ex- plode and Flames Leap High Into the Air.
 Traffic Blocked

Five cars were piled high and two freight No. 52 jumped the track at Cot tondale on the A. G. s. railroad about 5:S) o'clock yesterday afternoon. No one was killed and only slight injury was suffered by the crew A defective flange on one of the wheels is thought to have been the cause of the wreck.
 It is stated that the heavy train was coming down the grade about a half mile from Cottondale, coming north from Tuscaloosa, when the truck of one of the box cars left the track, piling the five cars almost at the Cottondale sta- ton. Three were loaded with gasoline, one with crossties and the other with a mixed cargo. After the wreck the cars filled with gasoline caught fire and two of them exploded, the third burning without an explosion. It is thought that the fire originated from some sulphur which was being shipped in one of the cars
 The Tuscaloosa fire department am swered the call for help, and securing water from a creek nearby were able to pump enough water to save the re- mainder of the train from destruction.
 No estimate of the damage could be secured last night. People from all of the adjoining country Hooked to the blaze, which it is declared rivaled any ever seen at that place. Traffic over this road was blocked for hours and many passen- gers were obliged to secure automobiles to complete the trip from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham, it is stated. The wrecking crew is cleaning up the debris and it is expected to have an open road early this morning. Only small section of track was damaged.

No Deliueries Made By
 Druggists After July I
Prices Soft Drinks Advanced Most of Them Doubled Sugar Denied Soda Fountains, and Corn Sugar
 Supply Is Inadequate

After July 1 Birmin ham druggists will make no deliveries of packages except prescriptions and emergency articles. All others will have to be taken home by the purchaser.
 Prices of most soft drinks will be dou- hfed.
 This action was taken by the Birming- ham Retail Druggists association yes- terday morning after a conference at tho Chamber of Commerce, with Dr. George Lang, executive secretary, and Assist ant Secretary B, Lobman of the Ala bama council of defense.
 The representatives of the council or defense explained to the druggists that the government had adopted as part of its policy of labor conservation a cur tailment in the delivery systems of all classes of merchants in order that the largest possible number of men now en- gagged in that line of work might be re- leased for useful occupations.
 The resolution adopted by the associa- tion pledged it's members to discontinue all deliveries except prescriptions and emergency orders. After the meeting ad- journed committee appointed by Pres ident Eugene Jacobs of the association circulated a petition for signatures pledg- ing all druggists in Gerater Birmingham to abide by the action of the associa-

Candidates for State
 Legislature to Qualify
 Before Chairman Dixon
Attention of Candidates for Senate and Representative Is Called to
 Chairman's Letter

Chairman J. Kelly Dixon, of the state democratic executive committee, has is- sued statement to the effect that all candidates for state senator and repre- sentatives in the legislature must qualify before him. In a letter to Secretary George H. Estes yesterday Mir Dixon asked that this matter be called to the attention of the candidates, as failure to qualify in the manner prescribed by the state committee will prevent the print ing of the names of the candidates on the official ballots to be used in the primary election
 As stated in The Age-HeraId Sunday, the primary election law passed by the legislature in 1915 is silent as to the party official qualify It is specific candidates must qualify. It is specific as to candidates for offices to be voted for in more than one county and for county offices, but says nothing as to legislative candidates, Mir. Dixon, in his letter, says:
 T notice that not all of the represen- tatives in the legislature from the diff ferent counties are qualifying before me. I wish you would give a statement, not only to your Birmingham papers. but to the Montgomery and Mobile papers, that it is the opinion of the chairman as well a sthe campaign committee, that all candidates for the state senate or repre- sentative must qualify by filing their declaration with me as state chairman and pay their assessment to you; that the other candidates for county offices do not have to do this, but file with the county chairman, and no other qualifica- tions can be required of voters other than that fixed by the state committee in regard to voting in the primary. I think it might be well to call their at tention to this because there seems to be some confusion in regard to the natter

S10,0O0 FIRE AT SOUTHERN SHOPS
 MONDAY NIGHT Oil House, Oil and Waste Burn Last Night-Ori- gin of the Blaze Is
 Unknown

Fire of unknown origin wrought about s10,000 damage to property in the South ern railroad yards at Avondale last night majority of the loss is covered by in- surance. The blaze was first discovered in an oil house near the tracks by the night watchman, and the alarm was given to the Avondale and Birmingham fire departments at s:55 o'clock. Only the valiant work of the firemen saved the entire shops from being consumed by the flames.
 Great crowds thronged to the blaze from Avondale, Woodlawn and Birmingham. and the leaping flames and dense roli- ing clouds of smoke refiecting the bright light of the fire, could be seen over the entire city. It was impossible for the engines to reach the immediate scene of the fire, but braving the intense heat caused by the burning oil and cotton waste, the firemen dragged their hose almost to the edge of the fast burning building and made a desperate fight
 A string of newly repaired and re- painted cars were saved by the quick action of one of the engineers, who backed into the flames and brought them to safety with only slight damage. Three box cars were lost, one containing oil being a partial wreck; two containing cotton waste and some other supplies that had not been checked up last night. It is estimated by Ernest L. Akans. mas ter mechanic of the Southern shops, that the loss of the oil house in which the fire originated will amount to about 5000, besides the loss of the oil. which is va riously estimated at from s2500 to s4vD0. The 66 bales of cotton waste is valued at the present market price at approx imstely s4000, and the damage to the tracks in the yard is placed at near $51O.

tion, and last night the committee stated that none of the druggists that had been seen during the day had re fused to sign it.
 Jefferson County Food Administrator Frank l.. Spain, who attended the meet ing. discussed the sugar situation. He told the members that there was no sugar in Birmingham available for the soft drink stands, but if they could get it from New Orleans he would make no objection. In this connection 1t came out that the majority of the soft drink places have been using corn sugar in stead of cane for qiute a while. The supply of corn sugar is not large how ever, and will last only a short time after the supply of cane sugar is cut off.
 The following schedule of soft drink prices was adopted:
 The new schedule of fountain prices includes the following: All grape juice drinks, 10 cents; six-ounce glass of Coca : Cola, 5 cents; all combination Coca Colas, 10 cents; limeade, 10 cents; lemon- ade. 15 cents; chocolate milk, 10 cents; phosphates, cents; ice cream sundaes, 20 cents; ice cream, 15 cents; ice cream soda, 15 cents; six ounces sweet milk, 5 cents; eight ounces buttermilk, cents; ginger ale, 10 cents; milk shake, 15 cents; egg-mill1 shake, 20 cents.

MAN POWER CENSUS OF ALABAMA WILL BE TAKEN SOON Work or Fight Order Must Be Obeyed to the Letter, Says Tarrant-COnfer-
 ence Today

Under the direction of George B. Tar rant. federal director for Alabama of the United States employmeint agency, a complete census of the man power of Alabama will be taken during the next few weeks. This work has been or dered by the United States employment agency in every state in the union with the view to ascertaining the number of men available for employment in indus tries essential to the carrying on of the war.
 The work or fight" order goes into effect on July l, and after that date every man now employed in a non-es- sential business will be required to find employment where he will be doing something toward the winning of the war. There will be no exceptions.
 LUNCHEON HERE TODAY
 Yesterday George B. Tarrant federal director for Alabama for the Uniteo States employment agency. sent requests to the examiners of the local agencies in eight or ten of the more important cities in the state to meet him here to- day. He will entertain them at a lunch con at the Southern club at 1 o'clock and afterward go over the labor situa- tion in Alabama with them. He will give them instructions to the taking of the census of all men in the state. whether employed or not the nature Of their employment, the nature of the products of the plants where they arc employed, If it be manufacturing plant, the character of goods handled and whether their work comes under the class of useful occupation as inter preted by the war industries board
 The different agencies will also be re- quired to ascertain the number and class of men needed at industrial plants in the state, whether these plants be en- gagged in war work or otherwise; whether there is a shortage or surplus of labor, and in what kind of work the shortage or surplus exists.
 TARRANT TALKS
 In speaking Of this work yesterday MT. Tarrant said: We will get list of the essential industries in the state, and after July l will find employment at these for the men affected by the work or fight order. It is our intention. and the purpose of the United States em- ployment agency, to disturb labor condi- tions as little as possible. Wherever 1t is possible to avoid it, there will be no shifting of labor from one district tc another, but every man will be put to work al his home if it is possible to do so; elsewhere if need be-
 We must make reports of the census figures and the lists of essential indus tries to the bureau at Washington, and if we show a surplus of labor here. that surplus will be ordered to districts that show shortage That being the case, il is possible that some sections of the state may iose great many of it's men, but perhaps Birmingham will not be af- fected to any considerable extent, as there is shortage here. However steps should be taken by those interested not only to retain the men we have but to bring as many more as may be necessary to put Ill of our essential industries run ming on full time.'

Women Of the country, wake up!
The time has come for you to act J!
Wherever you are, the government Is
in immediate need of YOUR help!
Just as surely as the country re-
ouires at once the aid of all its intel
ligent, able bodied young men, so 1t IS
in urgent need of the services OF each
and every woman. Furthermore, there
is no age limit. Every female, from
the little schoolgirl to the aged
woman. can and SHOULD help!
Three lines of work are open, one
at least of which you should be able
to do, no matter who, where or what
Won are. Choose it now.
First, if you are incapacitated in
other ways, you can at least learn TO
knit. The blind do this beautifully,
and it is even recommended as quiet
ing to the insane. Our millions of
boys in service will need plenty OF
warm sweaters and wristlets next win
ter. Get busy now.
Second, if you stop to think OF the
awful carnage going on abroad every
day, you will realize the pressing need
of all the Red Cross bandages and
surgical dressings we can possibly get
ready, working night and day. Go to
the nearest headquarters and take a
course. so you can do this work in
YOUR spare moments. If your little
town has no Red Cross unit, appeal TO
your nearest city, where arrangements
can be made to get an instructor
