WhirLlUind Recruiting
 Campaign VIII Start Here For Air SerUice

and will be governed by the success that attends their efforts.
 Corporal Randle is said to be a past master in stirring up interest so that the party will probably figure promi- nently in the public eye here for some little time.
 The air service still needs men,, said Corporal Randle yesterday, and there are nine trade test boards pushing re- cruting throughout the country. Any registrant is eligible except men of Class IA who registered previous to Septem- Der 12. We want mechanics especially, but inexperienced men In many lines are needed. Acceptance means a wonderful opportunity for applicants. There are more noneommissioned officers now in the air service in proportion to it's per- sonnel than in any other branch of the army. Every man has good chance for an appointment 10 an officers training school, and in France they make flyers out of the noncoms before they get a commission
 The following are among the trades and callings from which the air service wilt recruit experienced and inexperieneed men.
 Air plane mechanics, auto mechanics, blacksmiths, carpenters, cabinetmakers, chauffeurs, coppersmiths, clerical work CTS engine repairmen, fabric workers, in- strument repairmen, motorcyclistS, mo- tor mechanics, machinists, painters. photographers, propeller makers. stenog- raphers, truck makers, yulcanizers and welders.

BAN ON AMUSEMENT
 WILL LAST A WEEK
Populace, Denied Visits to Favorite Theatres, Are
 Impatient

For one more week the amusement starved populace of Birmingham will be denied the opportunity of seeing their favorite vaudeville and picture shows. The health officer recom- mended the commission commanded, and, even as the first signs of the flu cast the fear of an epidemic, the theatri- cal cmanagers in thee ity heartily in- dorsed the action taken and willingly shouldered the loss made necessary by this action
 The attitude assumed by the man. agers on this question is such that no one can doubt the sincerity of their action. In some of the larger theatres, where the overhead expense is of no little consequence, thousands of dollars have been lost in the month that the theatres have been olosed--a month right in the middle of the most pros- perohs theatrical season of recent years.
 However, 1t has been said that "Tis an ili-wind that blows no good,'' and advantage has been taken of the situation by some of the theatres to have a general overhauling, repaint- ing, interior decoration, and to finish the thousand and one other little i'm provements that are seldom noticed but which are designed for the pleas- use of the public It is promised when the opening day arrives there will be many changes noted.
 The report is being circulated that two famous screen stars will appear in person at one popular theatre on the three opening days and in addition to this, on account of the large number of acts that are now lying idle because of the lack of work, some extraordinarily good vaudeville is anticipated. With practically nothing to do and with no form of diversion and recreation at hand, the opening of the theatres here again promises to be a gala event in the city

Red Cross Worker Tells
 of Corp0ral's Escape

The escape of Copr. James A. Lane of Jackson, Ala. from the Germans while the war department and the Red Cross were trying to locate him. is reported by Mrs. c. C. Davis, chairman of civilian relief of the Red Cross at Jackson in her report to the Gulf division, which fol- lows:
 Tn our home service work this month we had our first prisoners case.
 Corp. James A. Lane, with our forces overseas, was taken prisoner by the Huns either late in July or early in Au- gust Word came to his family here through friends letter. They imme- diately came to us and we wired Wash ington. but Washington had no record of his being a prisoner. In the meantime, a letter came to Mrs. Lane from the wife of his lieutenant believe. telling of his capture.
 we wrote the facts to official head quarters, and Wednesday of this week Mrs. Lane received worn" that her hus- band had escaped from the Germans and made his way back to our army. To say that there was happiness in that home was to put it very mildly"

Mas ter Signal Electrician F. H. Coven has charge of the recruiting, while Corp John c. Randall looks after the public- ity. The others on the board include Sergt. George W. Robinson, Sergt Fred eric A. Downey, Sergt James B. Maui, Corp Alpherie L. Duhaime, Chauffeur Charles c. McCommons, Private (rirst class) John R. Burrell, Private Qfrst class) Charles L. Davis

America has always been a wasteful nation-has actually been proud of that fact. We have been proud of the fact that we consumed more hig gh priced foodstuffs than any nation that we paid more for our hotel bills that we wore larger diamonds or drove more expensive automobiles than our neighbor. We have even been proud of the fact that we wantonly de- stroyed, through sheer carelessnesS more buildings and goods through fire than any other nation.
 But. now we can no longer afford to waste. War makes demands upon us that we must not ignore. Waste has always been reprehensible, even though the American mind has not aI- . ways been ready to so view it. but now it is nothing short of criminal.
 Remember that because your fire loss is covered by insurance that fact does not lessen the real loss-the loss of material and time and man power that is necessary to replace the burned building or burned goods or burned automobile.
 The war industries board, headed by that master mind of finance and busi '
 
 the fire losses of last year, which cer- tainly ran far over a quarter of a bii- lion dollars. is an unnecessary and un- just tax to be placed upon the people of this country at this time when every person, firm or corporation, as the lawyer phrases it, needs every iota of his resources to help in winning the war.
 So our government, through the war industries board, acting through the four minute men, is asking every American. man, woman and child, to provide every possible safeguard ana to watch constantly every possible fire hazard in order this immense fire loss. fully 75 per cent of which is prevent able, be reduced to minimum.
 Instead of a per capita fire loss of over s250 which we now have in America, let us try to approach the records of our European neighbors. which run from II cents in Holland to 49c in France. We can do this if we will exercise care about fire--;li the home, the store, the shop, the fac tory.
 Let us be more careful.

There were only 30 new cases Of in- fluenza reported to the health depart

 or pneumonia. Although this is the smallest number of cases that have been reported in one day yet, except last Sun day, this fact should not be viewed toe enthusiastically, for very few physicians make report on Sunday; last Sunday only s new cases were reported. How ever, there is still marked improve ment in the situation.

 The streets were alive with automo- piles yesterday afternoon. The ban pro-
 hibiting the use of gasoline for Sunday motoring was lifted last Sunday, but very few cars were observed on the streets on that day. The fact that SC many were seen yesterday is additional proof of the great improvement In the situation. Large crowds of pedestrians were also observed again on the streets and sidewalks yesterday.
