 WITH GREAT EASE
Judge w. M. Walker and V. ". Evans Discuss Interest ing Features of Recent
 Trip to Washington
nx HUGH w. ROBERTS

Judge w M Walker, V. V. Evans, W. B. Leedy and other residents Of BIT mingham, having gone to Washington in the interest of the class or men which is training itself against the possible need of their country. found Secretary Baker heartily in sympathy with the local activity, and deter mined that the organization shall be given a status.
 Although this was the attitude or Secretary Baker and of the govern ment which he represents, the atti- tude of George Huddleston, who speaks for this district in Congress. was en- tirely opposite. The member Of Con gress declared himself out of sympa- thy with civilian military organiza- ognizing or extending equipment and assistance to such organizations.
 Not only was MT. Huddleston out Of joint with the chief military spokes- man of the nation, but in his position he was alone of all the members or the Ala bama delegation with which the Birmingham men conferred.
 HESITATES ABOUT TALKING
 MT. Evans, when interviewed yester- day, hesitated to make statement for the press for fear lest the thought less might construe his remarks as attempts to play politics." He made it plain that he had gone to Wash ington on business in connection with his class, that his class as class was not interested in politics, and, further more, that he and friends had called upon MT Huddleston, not for the pu-- pose of enlisting his sympathy or as- sistance, but to show the conventional respect due to a member of Congress.
 While it is significant that MT. Evans did not go to Huddleston. who represents the district in which Mir Evans lives, for assistance, MT. Evans made no intimaton to that effect. As a matter of fact, prior to the visit to Huddleston. arrangements had been perfected by Senator Bankhead, which guaranteed the visitors not only an audience with the secretary. but most cordial and sympathetic reception.
 "As soon as we arrived" said MT. Evans, i've called on Senator Bank head and stated the purpose of our visit. The senator was glad to see us, praised the work we were doing in Birmingham, and instantly promised that an interview with the secretary would be arranged. The following morning, we called again, and the senator informed us that Secretary Baker would receive us at an ap- pointed hour.

Reed, president of the Chattanooga Automobile association and general manager of the Chattanooga Street Railway company. addressed them on the formation of an automobile club in Birmingham.
 MT. Reed outlined the plan to pur- sue in organizing the club and gave the local men the benefit of his ex- perience in Chattanooga, and stated that at the proper time, when Birming- ham really meant business about per fecting her organization, he would return to Birmingham with crowd Of boosters from Chattanooga who would give Birmingham the details on condi- tions of roads between here and Cha.- tanooga, and as to how they had reme- died such conditions in Chattanooga
 DEPENDABLE ROADS
 ..They call me Ed Dependable Reed in Chattanooga because I have changed the word of good for 'depencASle roads, and I claim that there are no roads that are good which are not de- pendable," said MT. Reed. This is the kind of roads that you want to fos- ter in your city, county and state and you should go after them in business manner. and the only Way that you can accomplish anything is 10 get organized.
 q joined the Chattanooga Automo- bile club because a friend of mine was in it and asked me to come in--but have stuck because I know now what a good thing it is, and of the wonderful possibilities for improving conditions at all times.
 DOZIER PRESIDES

Dozier stated the purpose of the meeting. prior to MT. Reeds address, and told of the many ways in which the organization would be beneficial. but laid special stress on getting and maintaining good roads.
 Robert F. Lee of St. Louis. editor of the Post Dispa tchs automobile page
  Der of Commerce. made a very in teresting talk. wherein he stated that the automobile dealers ought to get behind this new club and put it over. for they could see more owners and get more members than anyone else, and that it was to their interest to do so.
 GARAGE CLOSING
 '"There is another thing" said MT. Lee, (which should be given thorough appreciation by you men, and that is in cooperating with the dealers in this early closing that they have in augurated and the full closing on Sun days and holidays. The government has called for 10000 automobile me chanics. and there is no place to get them only from automobile shops. If they get just one from every shop they will have exactly the number that they want-and that makes it a government proposition. It is a necessity with the automobile men, as they can't get the help"
 J. Asa Rountree was called upon and told about the way the people of Ar kansas are handling the matter of building roads. and stated that they had just completed a road 24O miles

A call has been issued for a gem

war service. 1t is the wage and sal
airy situation, however, that has prac-
tically destroyed the states organiza-
ton of trained workers.
Records from the Osawatomie state
hospital alone show the loss of 153
employees who went to better paying
positions. The state appropriations
for state MISUNDERSTANDING to a
wonderful system of efficiency and
economy in the last legislature-did
not provide sufficient funds to meet
actual needs. Now the state must
practically reorga nize every school and
institution.
Medical staffs Leave.
Members of medical staffs from sew
eral of the big state hospitals will go
into war work before snow flies Re-'
ports from Topeka, Osawatomie, Par
sons, Winfield and Larned hospitals
show that the members of these staffs
will in a number of cases waive all
exemption claims and offer them
selves for war work. DR.. Perry, head
of Topeka state hospital, will prob
ably claim exemption for several or
his men. But there is only slight
chance that they can be retained on
the state pay roll.
Institutions outside Kansas univer-
sity, Parsons and Topeka state hos
pitfalls and the State Agricultural col
lege, show 416 men and women have
entered war Work or gone TO pOSltlonS
paying war wages. The four big in
situations will practically double the
showing of the other institutions,
bringing the net losses to date near the
500 mark. There is a proba bility that
at least 500 additional men and women
may be lost by the state before the
legislature convenes next January.
Draft Will Hit Hard.
I'VE are losing men and women
every day because we cannot meet the
wage and salary offers of other states
or by private institutions" said Wylie
w. Cook, secretary of the state board
of administration. 1.-The new draft
will hit US mighty hard. Many of our
best medical men will refuse to claim
exemptions and will go at once into
war work. Unless the next legislature
revises the entire wage and salary
schedule, the future staff organization
in some of the institutions looks
mighty serious"
Several state institution heads have
already gone into war activities. Nurs-
ing corps in state hospitals have been
greatly disorganized and overseas serv-
ice has called some of the most eff
cient men and women in the state
employ.

War Has Taken Nearly 500

Heads of Hospitals May Ask

Low Wage Schedule Also Has
Crippled Departments.

War activities and war conditions
have taken nearly 500 men and wo-

the state board of administration faces
the new draft with fear and trem-

Members of the state board today
hope to hold institutional staffs to-
gether until the legislature can meet
and revise wage and salary schedules.
Inability to meet salary offers by 9TH

trained staffs of several institutions.

as he passed he would point out the
