BROWN IN CHARGE
 OF |. OF |. DRIVE
 FOR BOND ISSUE
Declares Auditorium Is In Reality Memorial to War Services of the County
 and City

R. A. Brown, president of the Cham Der of Commerce, yesterday took charge of features of the campaign which is be- ing made by the general auditorium com mittee in behalf of emphatic majorities for the bond issues on which the people of Birmingham will vote next Monday.
 His return to the city after an absence of more than month because of illness was hastened by his interest in these propositions. However he declared him. self fully recovered.
 Mir. Brown was one of the first men to advocate the auditorium idea for Bir- mingham and he says he has always thought of it a memorial to the war services of the county and city, In the Chamber of Commerce expansion cam pagn last May, this was one of the chier appeals for the interest of the citizens and 1t was enthusiastically received by the whole city
 It was as president of the Chamber of Commerce that Mir. Brown named Morris w. Bush chairman of the present general committee and he cooperated in the sell ection of the other members. who rep resent every element and most of the organizations of the city

STRONG FOR AUDITORIUM

NSINI FUN A M
 My trip north and my talks witE many men from various parts of the country have made me a stronger ad Vocate than ever Derore of a suitable auditorium for Birmingham" said Mir Brown. By suita ., l mean one that shall be a credtabe monument erected by the county and the city to their young men who gave their services and lives in the war and of such q character as to form and features as to be a con stant reminder of that sacrifice; next it should serve the city and county far enough into the future to be a lasting memorial.
 At present prices of labor and mate rial, the s5o0,000 which the voters are asked to grant in a bond issue, would give us a very fine building, but hardly as large as Birmingham will need in. say, 10 years. The added s25o000 which the auditorium committee proposes to raise in October would we are advised provide an auditorium with seating capacity of 7.5o0 to 10000 and all the memorial features which such a build
 ing should contain. This would serve Birmingham for an unlimited period.
 Boston is a city of nearly 100000 popula ton. It's largest auditorium. Me chanics building, has a capacity of per haps 7.5o0 and this has served the city so well for nearly 40 years that there has been no thought of supplanting it. Chicago, a much larger city, has had similar experience. differing mainly in the fact that it has more than one place for large assemblies.
 BIG ONES SCARCE The fact is that auditoriums with capacities above 10000 are few and far between and 1t does not seem likely any l k1 the question of the permanence of the pro- posed auditorium in Birmingham. if also answers the question of how long | it will stand as monument to the men of Jefferson county and Birmingham whose services have inspired us to pro- ject the building.
 No one who recalls the enthusia snl which greeted the announcement by the Chamber of Commerce last spring that it would undertake to give Birmingham war memorial auditorium can doubt the willingness of the people of both the county and the city to carry their wish into execution.
 "An auditorium was one of the prom ises the Chamber of Commerce made to this community last May and I am de-
 lighted to find on my return from my sick leave that so much definite prog ress toward one has been made I cannot doubt the people will give overwhelmfns approval next Monday to this project TOT a memorial to Jefferson county and Br- mingham's s soldiers and sailors The an nouncement of the auditorium commit tee that it has decided to make the cam paign for the additional s250.0o0 about October l5 also especially pleases me.
 q cannot close this statement without expressing sincere admiration for the broad mndedness which prompted the city commissioners to name an advisory committee to act with them in planning not only for the auditorium but in the expenditure of the proceeds of the bond issues for a commbined public library and city hall, schools and fire depart ment improvements"

PACHYDERMS
PLAY BALL IN
SPARKS SHOWS

Of the many stunts performed by
the Sparks Circus herd of elephants
.ha one that probably gets the most
pprecistion IS the game of baseball
played by these mighty and unwield-
" pachyderms. Every play is gone
through with in the most ludicrous
manner, and the laughs furnished by
this number will remain a pleasant
remembrance of the circus.
All the cessories-pitcher bat
ser, catcher, umpire, fielders and their
gloves, masks, bats and uniforms
are present, and Big Mary in the
roll of batter seldom misses a home
run swat, and has thus established
a 400 mark batting record for her
self. Running the bases and the slide
to home plate never fail to bring
forth rounds of applause and laughter
from the audience. Another fun
ny situation is when the pitcher has
two strikes on big Mary" he and
the catcher get in an animated argu-
ment over to the next ball to be served
by the pitcher and trumpet INTO each
others ears. This little piece of by
play always meets with the instant
approval of the audience and adds
greatly to the already funny num-
Der. This act was presented to New
York Citys delighted millions last
winter and came in for more favor
able newspaper comments than any
animal act seen there in recent years.
This feature is positively on the pro-
gram of the Sparks World Famous
Shows, which are billed to exhibit
here Monday, October IS, afternoon
and night.

Ny. nephew. james Hogan, who is
fifteen years of age, has gained six
teen pounds on Tanlac and is now a
robust, happy boy after Thirteen wears

connected with the Joe :. Ullathorue
Seed Co. of thar city for twenty sew
co wears and is a stakeholder and di-
rector in the company.
=" Ever since James was two wears
old, continued Miss Goldsmith, ''he
has been afflicted with stomach trou-
bic. Two or three hours after eating,
ESPECIALLY the evening meal, he would
begin to complain OF severe pains in
his stomach which wculd increase uh-
I'll be would 20 into eonvulSions.
These spells would come ON five or six
times a month and last about thirty
minutes and he would be unconscious
for an hour. Some said be had heart
trouble and others said 1t was vertigo
His condition kept him down 10 almost
a skeleton and il was pitiful to see
how he suffered.
"His mother took him TO st, Louis,
and many other places fer treatment,
and we spent thousands of dollars try
ing to find some relief for him but It
was all to no avail.
"But all that awful load of anxiety
and worry has been lifted. James is
now well and happy boy and is GO
ing to school, and few bottles Of
Tanlac aid it, He always complained
Of having to take other medicines, but
be seemed to like fanlac and since TAX
ing five bottles he is sixteen pounds
heavier and dOesn Z lcok like tho .ame
boy. He wants TO eat all the time and
can eat anything without l. hurting
him. II makes us rejoice to see James
well and stout and enjoying life like
