We ARE ONE MONTH OLD
TO-DAY.


This being our anniversary. one
month OF existence for the Tower of
Babel not counting the eighteen
weeks we spent in three days AT
Birmingham, Ala, we hustled out
TO get some interviews in an effort

costly feature or the NeWs-Times.
The interviews are printed verbatim
and We feel are from people who
are unprecedented, and have weigh
ed the matter carefully from every
standpoint. Michigan St merchants
refused TO be quoted, but none of
them spoke roughly, and not one
of them would come right out and
doubt the sincerity IF the Tower edi-
tor or question his sanity The in
terviews follow:
