BY OPTOMETRISTS
Birmingham Man Largely Instru-
mental in Securing Enactment of
Laws Regulating Profession

DR. / II. finder of Birmingham was
elected observation-disclosures of the state
board of optometry. which was organs
ICED in Montgomery. when more than
50 optometrists met for this purpose.
This board was created by the state
legislature to regulate the practice OF
optometrv. Under this law. persons
fitting glasses are required to stand an
examination before a board commits
stoned by the governor. The other
members OF the board are DR.. II. p
Mcdonald. Mobile. president; DIR. H.
Ruth. Montgomery, vice president DR..
]. w. Taylor. Gadsden. and DR.. w. C.
Strickland. Dothan.
DR.. finder has been largely instru-
mental in getting this law passed and
as a token of appreciation for his
splendid efforts he was presented with
handsome gold Patsk- Philippe watch
which bore the following inscriptions
Presented to DR.. ]. II. finder by his
optometric associate, November IS,
1918" He was then presented with a
handsome leather carrying bag and a
Hammond multipleN portable type
writer, like the one President Wilson
uses.
Dr. finder was overcome and for
several minutes was unable to respond,
but recovered sufficiently to thank his
associates in a feeling manner. He
spoke briefly of the new law urging
all members OF the profession who ex-
pected to remain in the practice of
fitting glasses to study and qualify to
pass the examination designed to pro-
tect the public from takers.
The board will meet the latter part
of December to take the examination
prescribed by this new law.

STEEL CONSUMERS OF
WEST JOIN FIG III 7
FOR BASING POINT
West, South and North to Act Jointly
in Presenting Cases on
Street Rates

c. L. Harold, secretary manager Of
the Birmingham Civic association, re-
ceived letter yesterday from James E.
MacMurray, president of the Western AS
sociatio of Rolled Steel Consumers, in
viting the southern delegation to meet
with the western delegation in Washing
ton prior to the beginning of the hear
ing before the federal trades commission
on December in the Pittsburg basing
point controversy.
ut is very probable that in order to
save time in presenting the case, stated
Mr.. Harold, that the delegations from
the various sections of the country, the
west the northwest and the south, which
have all joined in this controversy. will
have a joint conference in Washington
on Monday, December 1. At this time
the cases of each will be presented to the
federal trades commission.
1.-The details affecting each section be
given in turn beginning with the west,
which wants Chicago made basing
point; the northwest wants Duluth made
one, and the south has centered on Biz
mingham. There is strong sentiment in
the east to join in, this controversy and
make an effort to have Buffalo made a
basing point for steel prices.
"A number Of manufacturers have writ
ten me that they will meet the local del
eeation in Washington, and We will do
everything in our power to try and have
the Pittsburg single basina point of steel
prices abolished as it is discriminatory
