FAMOUS REBEL LEADER
 DEFEATED BY INFLUENZA


 MEXICO CITY, Feb "A (Associated Press)-Four hundred and thirty-six thousand, two hundred deaths were caused in Mexico during 1918 by the influenza, according to data published by Fl Universal. This figure is be- lieved to be conservative, according to the paper, as several states were unable to furnish figures on the mor- tality. In others. it is added. the cpl demic still prevails. In Moreles, in particular, few families escaped ill ness. In fact, the influenza is cred ltd with having destroyed the power of Emiliano Zapata, long the rebel ruler of that state.

MUNICH, Jan. B (by mail) .--So many Bavarian soldiers have failed to return their rifles and munitions that the central German government has issued an order demanding the return of this property to the government within a specified time, under penalty of heavy fine or imprisonment. The same order applies to those possess ing any army property such as wag, ons. automobiles or horses.

] BRICK
 CONSTRUCTION
 FOR NEW SHIPS

| OAKLAND, Feb. 24 (by Associated Press). March 15 has been set as the date for launching the first "puffed brick" vessel in the govern. ment's concrete shipbuildinig program. It is scheduled to drop from the ways of the San Francisco Shipbuilding Company, on Government island, in Oakland inner harbor,> and officials of the concern who built the Faith" are confident, in view of present progress, that the launching will take place on time.
 Pouring" of two 1,500-ton oil tank CTS began at the plant the first of this month. This was made a gala event under the auspices of the Oakland | Chamber of Commerce. It is ex, pected that the second vessel will leave the ways day or two after the first launching.
 The local yard has introduced sev- eral innovations in concrete ship con- struction. Chief among these is the use of "puffed brick" This is made like ordinary brick, of peculiar clay containing low percentage of silica. When subjected to intense heat the bricks puff up like popcorn in a hop per. The product looks much like coke, and is as light.
 The "puffed brick" then are ground up and mixed with cement. Thus, in- stead of using crushed rock, as in or dinary concrete construction, about 40 per cent is said to be gained in the lightness of the ships walls.
 Another feature is the method of constructing the forms. These are built in standardized sections and hinged with bolts so that they can be forced up and put out of the way when the concrete hardens. As soon as vessel is launched these forms can be put back in place, the steel rods installed, and in few days pour ing of another ship can begin. The concrete ship experts say that this arrangement makes it possible to turn ! out a 7,500-ton vessel every three months. Besides, only about 25 per cent of lumber in the forms is wasted In only one respect does concrete shipbuilding resemble steel construc- tion. That is in the use of the pneu- matic hammer. AS the concrete pours between the sheathings, workmen turn ftheir "rivet guns" on the steel rods. The vibration shakes the concrete into the smallest crannies.
 The two concrete vessels being built on Government island resemble steel ships in their lines, being large ad- vance, it is asserted, over the Faith" They will be launched sideways, be- cause it has been figured out that sending a concrete vessel into the water stern first may subject it to a damaging twisting strain The boats really take three-foot dive into the water, the ways being that distance above high water. It has been figured out that the three-foot drop with the side of the vessel going in broadside subjects the boat to the minimum of strain by spreading it over large sur face.

The Personal Touch

By Arthur Hunt Chute, in Leslie's. In conversation which I had recently with MT. Joseph Hartman, he said he believed that the lack of personal touch accounted for much of the discomfort in
 our present industrial life. Tn the old days, MT. Hartman said, the toilers were not working for an impersonal corpora tion, they were working for the ''old man." There was a family attachment that endeared the employer and the em- ployee to one another Then they would not think of labor wars. But now, with a cold, impersonal organization, they had
 no compunctions in calling a strike
 MT. Hartman recalled how, in the old
 days MT. Benjamin Altman used to walk
 about in his great store, in New York,
 chatting with all his employees, and shar-
 ing in all their affairs, and consequently
 the whole concern was like a big home
 circle. He also recalled how old MT. Phil
 ip D. Armour used to sit in a glass room
 overlooking his vast offices, so that his
 employees were continually under his own
 eye.
 Much of this old time personal touch is missing in our modern industrial life, and we could we'll hark back to that warmer relationship amongst all classes. In defending Americanism I would not claim today that we have lived up to the ideals that have been set before us. We have fallen short of Lincoln's American ism based on the love of our fellow man. But it is for us rather to grasp that ideal again, and to press on toward it's attain ment, than to throw over Americanism, and to follow after BolsheVism; or to exchange in our nation the law of Hate for the law of Love.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder
 troubles you

No man or woman who eats meat reg ularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which eXcites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get slug gish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness. sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi- ment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in glass of water be- fore breakfast and in few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid or grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes Irritation, thus ending bladder weakness
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can- not inJure; makes a delightful effer- vescent Whitewater drink which every one should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious ttdney complica tions.-Adv

7. H. ALdrich Tells a Story
Pioneer Citizen Describes Incident First Avenue and
 Twentieth Street in 1876
By W. J. BOLES.

In the 40-odd years during which Bir-
 mingham has been building wonderful
 transformations have taken place in all parts of the city. Perhaps, the greatest
 change, and one which would most startle
 the men of the early days, now dead and | gone, were they to return to the flesh
 and once more visit the scenes of their 1 activities, is in the vicinity of First ave-
 nue and Twentieth street.
 ] The point now bears the distinction of
 being the only street intersection in any 1 city in the United States, possibly New
 York excepted, that has "skyscraper' on l each of it's four corners. The Woodward,
 the first of the "big'' buildings to be erect | ed in Birmingham; the Brown Marx, the American Trust and the Empire each
 with 10 or more stories filled with busy | and prosperous business men and corpor- | ations, form a quartet that compares fav-
 erable with office buildings in any other | city.
 | The oldest of these buildings, the Wood ward, is less than 20 years old. | First avenue and Twentieth street are
 now well paved with wood blocks and the
 present day citizen, in his widest im- agination, could hardly draw the picture | of these thoroughfares as they existed !, four decades ago, or only about 20 years before the building of the Woodward. T. H. Aldrlch came to Birmingham over | 40 years ago. He has seen the city grow ] frcm a few hundred men and women to it's present, hustling 100000 souls, and he had a large part in the building of the great industrial center of the south. 1 One of the incidents coming under his observation back in the early days, and which he always tells with the greatest delight, has to do with Twentieth street ! at First avenue-a mule, wagon and | tfeir owner. Here is his version of the 1 incident:
 Coming to Twentieth street at First ! avenue one day--it was in 1876, I believe-I saw one horse wagon mired to the axles 1 in the mud It was standing alongside the lot where the Empire building now stands. | A bunch of men was congregated on the corner and I elbowed my way into their
 midst to see what was going on. 1 'I saw the wagon, unattended and ap- parently without an owner. The crowd i was discussing the wagon and making all l sorts of conjectures, wondering if it could l ever be prized out of the mud or gotten 1 on solid ground again. The mud was the l reddest and the stickest mud 1 ever saw, and it didn't look to me like there was a l DC stability of ever getting the wagon | out. I joined in the conversation and the guessing.
 Presently a man with a spade in his
