Plans Are Perfected
 To Entertain Pershing

4 General Pershing, published elsewhere in The Age-Herald this morning, indicates that everyone in Birmingham who wishes to do so will be able to see America's great military hero, despite the fact that he will arrive after nightfall and de- bart few hours later.
 A short parade, brilliantly iIlumi- mated, through the downtown district lis the logical way to enable the largest number of persons to extend a welcome to General Pershing. A speech from he balcony of the Tut wller hotel will be another public ap pearance and there will, of course, be large public banquet, but that can only be attended by a small number of citizens, about 500, compared to the thousands who will line the streets and cheer the distinguished visitor.
 No effort should be spared to make the reception one of the most on. thusiastic ever given a guest of Bir- lmmgham. We cannot afford to let any other southern city surpass us in homage to man who personifies the American army which fought in France, the living as we'll as the dead and has record of service which will make the name of Pershing revered as long as there is an America

 The Jefferson county campaign will begin next week and itlis hoped that in addition to the total of the state league, close to $5O,ooo will be sub scribed.
 1 With s5O,Ooo the Jefferson County Anti-Tuberculosis association can achieve wonders. Several years ago when the Jefferson county associa- tion was started the endeayor was small. But a mighty educational work has been going on. The peo- Iple are appreciating more and more the importance of the anti-tuberculosis cause. It is a work of self-defense and rhilantropic as we'll as practical good is accomplished on a broad scale.
 Let the association keep on and the white plague will be eliminated from Jefferson county altogether.
 Everybody can help by the our chase of Christmas seals. Let no one fail to buy to the extent of his jor her ability. -
