Is Birmingham quittcr. Is there man in Birmingham who Is n quitters Not enough that you can say it to him even when you smile. Birmingham has been Christmas hoIidaying-Birmin ham has been ch0ckfuI of influ- enza and pneumonia and Sneezes and fear of catching her death of cold in the drizzIing rain.
 But all Birmingham had great Christmas, and now she is going out In her new neckties and her vhole-tOcd socks and clean handkerchiefx and turlxey-iuden stomachs and ask the people of Birmingham and Jefferson county fer one dollar for each member of the, family for dear old Mother Red Cross. and by the great glory that therr is in doing for others she is going to get it as easy as she had the biggest Christmas she has ever enjoyed.
 Bfrnsin@ham spent more money Christmas than she ever turned loose before. Birmingham had ev- erythfnr that was to he had and then had change to spare. What has Birmingham suffered by the warf Has not every man in Bir- minghan made more money than be ever made before: Why, to be sure! Then what's the matter with the Red Cross drive.
 Why. it's as simple as A B Cit just hasn't driven hard enough. The old allied army has not allied mnch---they have kinder scgre-

BANKS PAY OUT BIG SUMS OF MONEY $2, 100000 in New Money Is- sued Two Days Before
 Christmas

Never before in their history have the banks of Birmingham paid out as much money in similar period as that which passed through the hands of the tellers lthe first two days of the present week. It is estimated that something like s2.000.000 in new paper money was drawn out of the banks to be used as Christmas presents. and added to this was the s4.000.00 or s5,- 900. .o0O expended at the stores of Bir- mingham during the pre-holiday pe- riod
 The branch reserve bank. it is stated, let the local member banks have sev- eral million dollars which was put into circula ton and is now gradually finding it's way back into the reserve bank through the national and state banks and their merchant depositors According to a statement made at the branch reserve bank yesterday, 1t has received from the government since August 1, the date it opened for bus- ness, over s2o.00o.00 and all of this but a few million had been turned over to the banks in this district prior to the holiday period
 The volume of business in Birming- ham is reflected in, the clearances which have been averaging around y2.500.o00 day the past several weeks.

WRITES OF CAMP
 NEAR BORDEAUX
HirmiaEhara. Aia.

Mir. and Mrs, J, A. Lane. iisi North Seventeenth street, have received the fol- lowing letter from their son. Robert T. Lane, Second battery, r. X. R. R.. m France. which will be of interest to friends:
 France, December. :, 1918. '"Dear Mother: l know you have been looking for letter from me ever since I left the states. So I will tell you what has taken place so far on my adventure s'I left Newport News on october IS, came acrUs the Atlantic on the trans port Powhatan, which took us F days. The Powhattan was, once the German transport Hamburs..a We arrived m Brest France, November g, and had to hike five miles to the camp which was supposed to he rest, camp. but W. stayed there 10 days and forgot to get the rest, so we were sent to this camp. which is Camp Hunt. about 40 miles south of Bordeaux, and believe me it is some camp. And the sad part is 1t took us two days and nights to make the trip, which is little over 300 miles and the Pullman cars we rode in are better known in America as box cars. But as We had plenty to eat and such beautiful scenes to look at 1t was a pleasure after all.
 "The day after we arrived in this camp we got n new battery commander, one who has been on the firing line and knows how to handle bunch of young soldiers His birthday happened to come On Thanksgiving so we had a me dinner the best I have had since I left home, A friend of mine and myself went to a French camp yesterday and saw hum dreds of French soldiers and number of German prisoners. I gave one of the rYisoners q sack of tobacco, as they get very little to smoke We also had dinner at one of the little French houses. which cost us three francs, 5a cents in American money.
 As the movies have started, l WEI close for this time. With much love to all as ever, I remain. your son, "ROBERT"

SELL GOES WITH
 TURNER0N JAN. 1 Concrete Engineer Lands Good Position Upon Re-
 turn From the Army

William Osborne Sell, recently re- turned from the army, will be with John ID. Turner, manufacturers agent, after January l, with offices in the Jefferson building.
 Since leaving this territory about year ago, MT. Sell was connected with the concrete ship department of the emergency fleet corporation in Wash |ineton and Philadelphia. Last summer he joined the army and when the, ar mistice was signed was in the field ar |tillery central officers training school at Camp Taylor.
 I'm mighty glad to get back to Bir- mingham," said MT. Sell. "The emer- gency fleet corporation wanted me to go back to Philadelphia. but nothing doing. Birmingham has the biggest flu ture of any city in the world-and a past to be proud of. Birmingham peo- pie are delightful, and l never saw so many positions open. To tell the truth, I expected to have to hang around several months and then slip in edge ways. But I have had so many good offers it was a problem selecting the best"
 Mir Sell will handle reinforced con- crete and other fireproof building ma terials, while MT Turner will look aft CT the machinery, furnace and mine specialties as heretofore.

They manifest no apprehension over the situation, however, expressing the belief that in the process of readjustment the iron and steel business will share in the general prosperity that is predicted for the entire country.
 Completion of the chemical plant of the Shelby Iron company at Shelby has been delayed to the extent of about 60 days on account of rain and bad weather, but the buildings are expected to be fin ished and the machinery installed during the winter or early spring.
 Labor shortage and delays in delivering materials combined with unfavorable weather conditions have hampered work on the coke ovens of the Birmingham Coke and By-Products company, but President Morris w. Bush stated yester- day that he expected to have the plant completed and ready for operations dur ing the summer.
 The Woodward Iron company is making satisfactory progress in the work Of re- pairing and remodeling it's coal washers, coal openings and machine shops. The improvements begun by this company about the time Frank H. Crockard was elected president, two or three months ago. will represent an investment Of something like $2000,O00 when completed.
 The end of the year finds the pipe manufacturers, foundries and machine shops and other kindred industries work ing steadily on orders booked during the summer and fall and held in abeyance untibthe signing of the armistice by the Germans

|CIVITANS TO TAKE
 UP GOOD ROADS
 AND AUTOS TODAY
Community Builders to Have Gwln' Dozier and Rountree to Ad- dress Them Today

President Courtney w. Shropshire Of the Civitan club, is going to place his organization back of the good roads movement. and it is his intention 10 do everything in his power to aid in the construction of the NBankhead national highway, which is named in honor or Senator John H. Bankhead.
 The meeting today at the Southern club will be a good roads and automo- bile club affair-Jerry w. Gwin presi- dent of the Jefferson county board or revenue. will build the roads while Henry Dozier. president of the Birmingham Au- tomobile club will furnish the gas, and J. Asa Roundtree, secretary of the Bank head National Highway association, will crank em up and show 'em the route 10 take.
 Although the Civitan club had intended not having meeting during the holi- days the interst in the club demanded that a meeting be held this week, and days, the interest in the club demanded would take up the matter of good roads end automobiles, as they are double hrst cousins and each first aid to the other. Every member is urged to bring guest with him today, as record breaking attendance is anticipated.

Local iron makers are not alarmed at the action of the eastern makers, who, at a conference in Philadelphia last Monday, voted to recommend a reduction of $ a ton in the eastern territory after December 31. Officials of local corpora tions seen yesterday state that they have very little iron to sell at present and unless cancellations, aggregating great quantities, not now anticipated, are re- ceived they will be kept busy until the first of July filling orders already on their books. SA The proposal of the eastern makers to make the reduction. it is stated in ad- vices from New York, leads to the belief that the reduction will become general after the end of this month. The furnace men at the Philadelphia conference, how ever. it is reported, decided against eN- tending the reduction to old contracts on the books of the producers.
 The consumers, it is stated, look for reasonable treatment on the part of the furnace men, one large consumer ex- pressing the opinion that the prices at which he contracted for iron would be billed at the furnaces instead of Bir- mingham or Pittsburg. Local furnace men, asked about this yesterday, stated that they had given the matter no thought so far and consequently were not in position to express an opinion.
 There is little buying at present, both pr oducers and consumers being in wait

Ev- erything is set, and something is going to drOp-just how hard de- bends on how hard it is necessary for the exigency of the occasion demands action.
 Birmingham never has failed the Red Cross-BirminRh Rham never will -she is going to pay her debt to herself this week--or keep on cashing in until she gets back into Glass X company, where she is so perfectly at home.
 Every person in the entire coun- ty of Jefferson knows what they ought to do--knows whether they have done it or not-and the excuse that no one has been around to see you Is the poorest alibi ever conceived.

BOARD 10
 BUILD LEEDS ROAD
Four-Mile Stretch Connect
 ing With Bankhead High \ way Being Considered

Shortly after the new year is ush- cred in construction work on the four mile stretch of road near Leeds neces- sary to link up the Bankhead national highway will be begun, the contractor announces.
 Labor for the construction work IS now being sought and materials will be delivered as soon as called for. This four-mile break in the highway, un- der the terms of the contract, must be completed by summer.
 With the exception of this section the highway is now in good condition, Fit is said, all the way from Birming- ham to Anniston, and with the build ing of this link this will be one of the most popular. routes out of Birming- ham for automobiles.
 The Jefferson county board of reve- nue is planning to build roads on an extensive scale during the next year. The board members have been inves- tigating road building machinery and materials with the view to selecting that which is best adapted to this coun- ty. Among the materials brought to their attention is tarvia made by the Barrett company at Fairfield.
