SEAT SALE FOR
 BISHOP LECTURE
 TO OPEN THURSDAY
He Heard Famous Ace Address Packed House

Management for the lecture of Col w. A. Bishop, the great Canadian fight er and ace of aces in the Royal Brit ish Flying corps, announced Monday night that the seat sale would start Thursday morning early at the box of flee of the Jefferson theatre where Colo nel Bishop will appear Saturday night.
 I've have had so many inquiries com ing in for reservations said MT Craft. that we decided to open the advance sale early, in order that those who were es- pecially anxious might insure themselves of getting good seats.
 MT Craft also announced that he had just returned to Birmingham from Chica- go, having heard this most famous Of all war heroes give his lecture In that city to a packed house. The lecture and the pictures, flashed on the screen, having been made by the great air fighter while he was in the battles on the western front, made such hit that Chicago has asked for a return to the Windy City for another lecture after he gets through with his Birmingham ap. pointment at the Jefferson theatre next Saturday night
 The pictures he shows are equally as wonderful and thrilling as his talk. Out of thousands upon thousands of feet of film taken while both air and land bat ties were in progress, right in the hell of battle, Colonel Bishop has sorted out the best of this film, has condensed it and it has proven a most interesting part of his lecture.

Delegation of East Lake Women Will Appear and Protest the Erection of

The health department has an- nounced mot ready" with their ordinance which will compel pasteurization of all milk sold in the city, and, contrary to announcements yesterday, the product of "Old Bessie" is going to be allowed to sit a week longer, with a hope that the cream will rise so that the men employed by Birmingham in the law making depart ment will be able to get at it properly.
 Commissioner Taylor is also bit afraid that ne will not have his amendment to the city license schedule in form, and consequently the solar plexus he had planned to hand the vendors of stocks not quoted in standard markets will most likely be saved for the next meeting.
 A feature of the meeting today, how ever, will be the appearance before the commission of a delegation of women from East Lake, who will protest against the erection of the dancing pavilion at the city's amusement park at East Lake on the grounds that the kind of amuse- ment offered there is not of the variety that they want their children to enjoy, and that the operation of this dance hall causes an atmosphere that is undesirable. In all probability the present plans for the construction of the dancing pier Will be altered to such an extent as to please al parties, or the pavilion will not De erected
