DR. HAYNES WILL
 SPEAK ON MENTAL
 HYGIENE TONIGHT
Dr. BidgOod Prepares Inter- esting Statistics From
 Survey of Predetermined

The social working forces of the city are looking forward with keen interest to the public meeting in the auditorium of the Civic association tonight when an address will be delivered by pr. J. F. Haines, field secretary of the nationa! committee on mental hygiene. The pub lie is urged to attend this meeting, which Is to be a forerunner of the state cam paign to secure from the legislature an institution to care for the feeble-minded of Alabama.
 Among those who will attend the ad- dress will be Dr. w. D. Partlow of the Bryce Insane hospital, Tuscaloosa. who is also secretary of the Alabama Menta. Hygiene association; pr. c. A. Brown, president of the association. and pr. Lee Bidgood, of the university, and others interested in institutional care of the feebleminded.
 Dr. Bidgood has some interesting fig ures prepared from a survey which he has been making for th,N feeble-minded in this state.
 One of the points which Dr. Haines Is expected to make is the tremendous economic loss to any state which is neg lecting its army of feeble-minded. Ths authentic figures show that every five feeble-minded persons in any state with out institutional care require four nor mal persons for their supervision. Thus in Alabama it is estimated that there are not less than $500 normal persons withdrawn from the fields of productivity in this one item alone.
 Alabama is losing millions in man. power because the state has not an in- stitution for the feeble minded" said Mrs. R. Dupont Thompson, who is one of the leading advocates of the state gov ernmental action. If an institution with a trained superintendent and staff is created and maintained by the state of Alabama, then supervision over the thou sands of feeble-minded who can be com mitted will be centered in a limited per- sonnel. It is humane thing to do and certainly the economic side should ap- peal to the law-making powers of our great state. Many more than half of our states maintain institutions for the fee- of any kind to care for this sort of sub- normals."
 Preliminary to tonight's meeting, which begins at o'clock sharp, the Alabama Mental Hygiene association has called a conference for 12 o'clock today in the private dining room of the Tutwier, when plans are to be discussed for pre- senting to the next legislature the neces- sary legislation for an institution to care for the feeble minded. To this confer- ence have been invited Dr. S. w. WelHh, state health officer, representative each of the Alabama sociological com gross, Alabama Federation of Women's clubs, the Alabama Mothers congress, the Alabama Medical association and the Alabama Educational association.

ITALY ORDERS IRON
 FROM LOCAL FIRMS
 FOR EARLY DELIVERY
Iron and Steel Industries Here Hampered by Labor Shortage - Iron and
 Steel in Demand

Local iron and steel brokers and manu- lecturers have received, during the last few days, several inquiries from France. England and Italy as to the possibility of obtaining iron and steel from Bir- mingham in the early part of next year. The inquirers ask for prices, quality and quantities and time of delivery in the event orders are placed. Some orders have been booked by one or two com panies for shipment of iron and steel to Italy amounting to considerable tonnage and this will go forward or at least part of it, immediately after the holidays.
 Local furnaces are still hampered in their operat tions by the lack of raw ma terials. Several stacks have been idle the past few months because they could not obtain coal and ores and the present outlook is that the same trouble will con- front them for a few weeks longer at least. The withdrawal of thousands of men from the district for service in the army or to work at government plants in other sections of the country caused labor shortage which reduced to great extent the production of coal, iron ore and other materials essential to the making of iron

Loses Sum of Money

While on his way home from
Armenia last week, Byron Morehouse,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry More
house, who live on the Sharon road,
four miles north of Sharon, lost a
purse containing $125. He had drawn
the money from the First National
Bank for his brother, who was ready
to start for Detroit, to enter a school
for the instruction of automobile
mechanics. A thorough hunt for the
purse was made, but without avail.
1t has been almost definitely estab-
lished that the money was picked up
by some one, and the finger of suspi-
cion points strongly toward a certain
person. To find money and not
make every effort to restore it to its
rightful owner, is very serious
offense.
