tCpntinued from Page Five,

Dimick arrangements were at once made with the railroads for the trans portation and it is the plan of the dele gat1on to leave Tuesday night on the Louisville and Nashville railroad. They Will arrive in St. Louis on Wednesday afternoon in time to participate in the preliminary stages of the convention.
 MT. Dimick and his associates
 who so kindly contributed the necessary funds which will enable the Birmingham district to be rep resented at the St. Louis conven- tion of the American Legion can rest assured their faith in the se- iected delegates will not be mis- placed" said MT. Lussia sNrhe gathering of the clans in St. Louis means the creation of a very DOW erful influence in contemporary American life, and the delegates have been chosen by their fellows as men above being the mouth pieces and puppets of politicians, but as pioneers in the necessary thought needed for the reconstruc- ton period now on us. It is as- sured in advance that the dele- tion will act consistent with the best interest of the state and the Birmingham district"

 The Comm unity E VERY city sooner or later has it's grade L crossing problem.
 Birmingham is no exception. In the early years of her existence she had several of these problems, but through the unceasing efforts of some of her progressive and aggressive citizens two of these were eliminated several years ago.
 The Twentieth street crossing, however, re- mains as danger point where the lives of thou sands of people are daily put in jeopardy In the course of time the same persistence and the same determination will also eliminate this death trap.
 For years and years the people of Birmingham whose business or social engagements required them to make the trip along First avenue, in the eastern part of town, crossed the network of railroad tracks in the vicinity of the Sloss fur naces with fear and trembling. This was one of the most dangerous spots in the city, and it took many years of talk and scheming and agitation to finally bring about it's elimination.
 The city did not have the money to build via- duct and the railroads refused to do it. Confer ence after conference was held between the rail- road representatives and city officials, but with out effect, until finally the state legislature passed an act empowering the city to compel the railroads to bear their share of the cost of the vladuct. Then 1t was built, and travellers along that highway breathed great sigh of relief
 A somewhat similar situation with reference to the Twenty first street viaduct confronted the city The old structure had served it's time and was fast becoming menace to life and limb.
 Under the same legislative act it's reconstruc- tlon of concrete and steel was ordered, and with in very short time now it will be opened to traffic
 Both of these viaducts will stand as nlonu- ments to the men whose activities and intelli- gent application of power made possible their construction.
 Unfortunately Birmingham was built astradde of two raoads ana III the early days both of these roads main talned switching yards within the city limits These however were removed by the railroads years ago. but the passenger and through freight trains still require several tracks for the expeditions and efficient handnq of their business.
 Originally five downtown streets crossed these tracks the others being closed but the building of the Twenty first and the Twenysecond street viaducts left ony three E@1ghteenth, @ Twentieth and Twenty-fourth streets With the exception of Twentieth street elim nation of these grade crossings is not so pressing as raVel over them IS comparatively light
 The IWenty-second street vaduct however is an un- slightly structure and for the past twenty years or more mas been under condemnation often and for longer periods than otherwise. Only short time ago it was reported to be in unsafe condition and certainly any one who will look at it's floor will agree that it is unsafe for rubber-tred vehicles
