EVERYbODY'S MONEY NEEDED FOR PARTY IN HONOR OF 167TH
Contributions Are Slow, But Wells Expects Hearty Re- sponse by Monday-Bar-
 Der Sets Good Example

Where is the money coming from to entertain the 167t, infantry reg fment, or Alabama's own, when 1t arrives in Birmingham early in May: Will it be necessary to send out committees to extract checks from the people of Birmingham for little bill of hospitality for the boys who willingly gave their all for the protection of their cOun- try:
 These are the questions that con- fronted the finance committee of which Oscar Wells, president of the First Ma tional bank, is chairman, at the meet ing held yesterday afternoon. Letters have been mailed to practically every citizen in this city and surrounding towns stating that s5 would be neces- sary for the entertainment of each man and asking them to return checks to care for as many men as they wished These checks have been coming in very slowly, and unless hearty response IS made by Monday other plans will be devised for raising the funds necessary for the entertainment of members oi the "Old Fighing Fourth Alabama" WELLS STATES CONFIDENCE
 When it was suggested at the meeting that solicitors be sent out to secure the money, MT. Wells said: "Gentlemen, my backs to the wall on that proposition. I have too much confidence in the Birmingham spirit to think for a moment that the people of this city need any thing more than the opportunity to pay for the entertainment of our brave boys who have been over there fighting our battles for us. I have received checks from the greatest variety of sources in re- spence to our appeal and in many instances the letters were not all lowed to get cold before the check was written and on it's way back.
 My barber said to me this morn ing:
 "'Mr. Wells, sent in a check. It isn't as large as I would like. but you know couldn't turn those boys down.
 T feel that when the people know that they may be partici- pants in this celebration and re- alize what it represents they are going to get in in a rush. Before we send out solicitors just wait until the Monday mail is received for know the people of Birming- ham will prove that they want to do this thing right.
 "This is a commercial proposition and is our last great opportunity to show our love and admiration for our own heroes whose secri- fees and spirit have done more to create the new Birmingham than anything else.''

WOUNDED MEN COMING

Wounded men who have returned to the state will reach approximately 2000 and the number expressing their intention of coming to Birmingham for the reception of the 167th infantry is growing steadily at Camp Gordon and Fort McPherson, stating they will be on hand if the commanders are will ing.
 Extensive arrangements have been made for the celebration which prom ises to be one of the largest demonstra- tions ever witnessed in Birmingham. and the only thing necessary to cop- plete the plan is the raising of the money
 All persons are urged to send in their checks at the earliest time possible.

MIR. HORNADY TALKS

'"The state administration realizes the needs of the cities for financial assistance, and will support the bill I believe" said Commissioner Horn adv Tt is absolutely essential that Birmingham get share of the in come tax. It is the only possible way for it to get financial aid through the action of the legislature. Nothing else can be done except by the enactment of a constitutional amendment. And incidentally, it is the only legislation before the lawmakers that will as
 sist this city in any way. It is the fair and logical thing to do. It will be 6 great help for the cities. I be- lieve the bill will be passed without much opposition It seems to me that it is fair to allow the cities one-hals of the amount of such taxes collecte1 l from the people within the cities"

The county has about s50o,000 in ths road and bridge building fund, and with an equal amount available from the government appropriation, the members of the board of revenue estimate they will be able to build between 20 and 30 miles of permanent hard roads, that will stand up under the severest tests
 MT. Gwin stated that the first con struction, if the present plans are adopted, will be one of the roads which will carry the heaviest traffic. This will be built with the view to adopt ing the material used on it as the per- manent building material if it proves satisfactory. It will have concrete base of such thickness as the federal and state engineers may approve and surface of brick, asphalt or other ma terial to be decided upon later.

BROOKS THANKS
THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Speaking for Burr and Burton Sem
mary and for all Immediately respon-
sibe for its work and welfare, the
principal voices unque5tionably the
sentiment Of all in expressing their
deep appreciation of the many bene-
fits derived from the Manchester His
torical Society's exhibit held last week
in the interest of the Seminary.
To the prime movers in this enter
prise not only, but also to their many
ready and willing assistants and TO all
who in any way contributed to the
success of this fine and patriotic un-
dertaking, our hearty thanks are due.
The substantial sum raised for the
benefit of the Seminary will be spent
at the suggestion of the Historical
Society committee and with the ap-
proval of the prudential committee of
the board of trustees, in such improve
ments as seem most necessary.
OF scarcely less assistance to the
Seminary than this immediate mater
ial aid, is the expression of community
interest in this old institution minis
tering as it does to so large a section
of southern Vermont.
The hope of America lies in an edu
Gated, Christian democracy School
and church deserve the enlightened
support of all patriotic citizens as
never before. We believe we are not
missing our guess in assuming that
this wholly spontaneous and public
spirited enterprise undertaken in be-
half of the school and community is a
significant expression of the spirit Of
the times, and we trust it is prophetic,
in the case of this particular institu
ton of a reused public interest in its
important work and in its future pos
sibilities.
Both as citizen and as, one much
interested in the welfare of the Sem
mary, wish here to publicly thank
the Manchester Historical Society and
their co-laborers for their very sue
cessful and signally helpful undertake
ing in behalf of Burr and Burton.

Deacon Mark Batchelder Lyon

We copy the following from the last
issue of the Vermont Missionary. The
tribute was written by Dr. Charles r.
Seymour of Mt. Vernon, N. Y, and
former pastor of the church here.
Deacon Mark Batchelder Lyon of
Peru, VT, died August oath, in his
century old home, at the age of SO
years. Three days later his remains
were buried in the village cemetery.
Thus has passed on faithful son of
those sturdy pioneers who came from
Massachusetts and New Hampshire to
the hills early in the last century.
"F'ifty-three years ago Mr.. Lyon
and Miss Abbie M. Rideout of Dorset,
were united in marriage. Their five
children were present at the funeral
service: Eugene, business man of
Barre, VT; Mary, widow of W. H.
Packer of Greenland, N. H.; Albert,
lawyer in Boston; Martha, wife of
Rev. M. j. B. Fuller of New Marlboro,
Mass; Minerva, widow of C. A. Palm,
normal teacher in Cleveland, Ohio.
These, as in patriarchal days, gathered
at the bedside of their loved and ven
Grated father to comfort and sustain
the aged mother.
Deacon Lyon, grandson of Seth,
who came to Peru from Princeton,
Mass, in 1902, began his life of indie
pendence as overseer of marble
quarry in East Dorset. This was fol-
lowed by several years of teaching.
Returning to Peru, with his wife, also
a teacher, he purchased farm and
began the difficult ascent to a COM |
potency, to be achieved only by thrift |
and continuous hard work. And success |
with this earnest couple could only be
complete in the education of their |
children. OF the joys of the house
hold nothing has surpassed that Of the
annual coming of the children and |
children's children to the home hearth.
Deacon Lyon was trusted citizen
of the town and with his wisdom and
ready wit he made most cheerful
companion. In his mature manhood
he was wont TO preside over public
I
assemblies. In 1878 he represented
the town in the legislature, served as

Are women interested in health?
Are they interested in sex prob
lens and in legislative measures as
reflected by the present status of
sex morality?
Dr.. Jennie Callfas of Omaha says
they are. As proof of her own in
terest, she is planning to attend and
take part in the discussions of the
great International Conference of
Women Physicians in New York
City, beginning September IS and
continuing for six weeks thereafter.

ference, says: 1T is big move

The hostess for the conference

The general purpose OF the confer
ence is to learn the attitude toward
social education on health and sex
problems together with the respon-
sibilities related to them in the vari
Gus countries and to discuss future
possibilities dealing with individual
national problems. The program
will include eminent specialists from
this country and abroad.
Four years before the war the
social morality commission of the
National Board of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Associations came
into existence, being created because
of the necessity of awakening an in
terest in the training of women and
girls to think Alright concerning sex
education. A small lecture bureau
was organized, the members speak
ing before normal schools, universe
ties and colleges for the purpose OF
euuipping as many teachers as pos
sble with fundamental principles of
social health and morals.
At the beginning of the war the
present committee was appointed
by the War Work council and an
enlarged bureau of lecturers was en-
listed. When the government Great
