COL. WHITE HERE
FOR AN INSPECTION
OF HOSPITAL SITES
Army Officer Spent Yester.
day Here Visiting, Howard
College and the Edge
wood Club

Col ]. H. White, of the sanitary de-
partment of the army medical corps of
Washington, spent yesterday in Birming-
ham inspecting the sites which have been
suggested for the reconstruction hos
pital which is to be built by the govern
ment for wounded American soldiers.
Colonel White was sent to Birming-
ham for the inspection by Surgeon
General Gorgas.
During the morning Colonel White Wis
tied Howard college, where he was shown
over the buildings and grounds by the
college authorities. Reaching the city
unannounced, he went to Howard college
alone and the Chamber of Commerce
committee was therefore unable to ac-
company him on the morning trip.
In the afternoon, escorted by President
A. C. Crowder, of the Chamber of Com
merce; E. w. Barrett, Scion Jacobs
and Charles f. Rice, he went to the
Birmingham Motor and Country club at
Edgewood, where he made thorough
inspection of this site. Colonel White,
of course, did not express an opinion,
but it was noted that the grounds and
surroundings of the Edgewood club
seemed to make very strong impress
sion upon him.
Before returning to the city the visitor
was taken to Bracewood, the summer
home of e. w. Barrett on Shades noun
tain, and upon return to the city was
taken to the Birmingham Country club.
He left late in the afternoon for Shelf

Women Elevator
Conductors Attract
Much Attention

In order to allow the men employed
as elevator conductors in the First Ma
tion Bank building to take heavier
work and thereby aid the government
in winning the war. Superintendent 7 .
o. James has placed in their stead
women elevator conductors, who are
now on the job and giving satisfac-
ton.
This change occurred on yesterday
morning. Women have been on the
elevators in the department store of
Loveman, Joseph & Loeb for over n
week now, and there is a probability
of many of the other places of BUSH
ness in Birmingham, as we'll as office
buildings, following the lead already
established.
I'VE are paying these women on an
average of 20 to rs cents more than
we paid the men. consequently it is
nothing more or less than a patriotic
move on the part Of the First National
bank" said Superintendent James.
