 The examinations aroused protest in Socialist circles, whose leaders assert they are contrary to the spirit of the law, which was passed primarily to deal with pro-Germans. s. John Block, attorney for the Rand School of Social Science, was asked to at tempt legal interference, but he de- clined to do so.
 This is a fine style of inquisition," !" said MT. Block last night, "and is without the slightest Justification. We believe the law under which the in quiry is held is unconstitutional, but rather than take the trouble of going to court, we have told the union lead CTS to appear and give such harmless information as is asked As a mat ter of fact, there is nothing those who have been summoned have any desire to conceal from the public"
 Among other things the Attorney General has obtained copies of bulle- tins issued by the Teachers union, some of which contain statements of a radical character. Information ob- tatned that is regarded of importance will be brought out at hearings of the Lusk committee, which will resume public examinations in about two weeks.

BLACK BARONS PLAY
 DOUBLE BILL TODAY
Locals Won Yesterdays Game, 9 to O.
 One-Armed Pitcher Today

Yesterday afternoon the local all-star Black Baron negro team met and de- feated the Atlanta Cubs in the first game of the series. The game was the locals all the way, the final score being to 0.
 This afternoon at Redwood park the two teams will play a double header. The present series is being played to de- eide the negro championship of the south, and the locals must take at least one of today's games to win the title. In the two previous series between the two rival aggregations, the Black Barons have split even, losing the first series but taking the seconc.
 It was announced last night that Mad dox, the one armed pitching wonder or the Cubs, will pitch one of today's games. Local fans have seen Maddox in action once, and were pleased with the work or the handicapped moundsman. He held the locals to defeat, and further demon strated that he knows how to pitch. Besides being a pitcher, Maddock IS something of a fielder, and seems to nave no trouble snagging down the longest and hardest of flies from deep outfield.
 record crowd is expected to attend todays games, as the southern title rests ,1ron the outcome of the double header. The first game will be called at Z:5o sharp.

STOMACH FILLED UP LIKE ARMY BALLOON SAYS YORK,ALA MAN Had Stomach Trouble for
 Years, and Had to Be Very Careful What He Ate FOUND RELIEF AT LAST Declares the New Root and Herb Medicine, Dreco, Helped Him From the First Dose
FOUND RELIEF AT LAST

For long time I've suffered agonies from stomach trouble, and no matter how careful I was about my food, my stom- ach would fill up with gas like an army balloon" says MT. Oliver Cameron, the prosperous farmer of York, Sumter county, Alabama
 Tt seemed like there was big lump Tn my throat; my bowels were consti- pated, so had to take something every night. I often had sick headaches. and
 my liver was lazy. pains in the small of
 my back and in my limbs caused me
 much suffering. and it seemed I could not sleep"
 T have been taking Dreco now for
 some time. and it sure has brought a change in my condition. My food digests as well as it ever did in my life, with out any gas at all. I never have a head ache. nor pain in my back, and I lie down at night and go right off into a restful sleep. Dreco has done me a
 lot of good and I gladly praise it to the public"
 Dreco is a pure liquid extract of the juices of many roots, herbs. bArkA and
 berries. which have a direct action on a sleepy liver; stimulates the kidneys to
 full action; regulates the bowels and pur-
 ifies the blood of its poisons, thereby
 banishing rheumatism and catarrh.
 All good druggists now sell Dreco and
 is highly recommended in Birmingham
 by Norton Drug company. Dreco is also sold in Bessemer by the Fulton Drug
 company, in Fairfield by Halls phar- macy. in Wylam by Central pharmacy

Golden Rule Insurance

~ No less a business man than H.. Gordon Selfridge, who made the people of London adopt the department store idea, says that, "The Golden Rule has proved essential to real success in business life." i"
 There are some cities where this statement might not be appreci- ated with the gravity and truth that it de- serves. But we do not believe that Birming- ham, nor any other city of the Old South, is one of these,
 Birmingham has had too many examples of. men who believe in and practised The Golden Rule. James H. Awt- rey, head of the Insur- ance Departm ent of Trustees System, is one of them.
 MT. Awtrey doesn't go about proclaiming his principles on the street corners. He does not have to. His friends and even mere business acquaintances are doing that for him. For they have learned, through experience, his ideas of insurance service, and that is about the best guide to knowledge of any man.
 Trustees System means efficiency in ser vice, of course. But it l also stands for The Golden Rule in business. The whole cooperative plan of Trustees System is fashioned along the line laid down in that in-' comparable Rule.
 It is a pretty good idea to do your business with a man or a firm that doesn't need watch ing, whether that busi- ness is sellin gpins, mak-, ing loans, or writing in-' Surance.

For the Good of
 the Community

ID IRMINGHAM is still shy several D hundred houses and it is going to take long time to build enough to supply the demand. At, the beginning of the present year there was demand for 2000 or 5000 residences and no building opera tions were under way.
 The outlook at that time was gloomy. Nobody seemed to be in the humor of building. Property owners claimed that buildings erected at the then prevailing costs of labor and materials would be un- profitable.
 So they waited several months Build ing permits issued in Birmingham in Jan uary numbered only 231, covering i'm provements valued at S54,721.
 February did little better, but it was not until July that the record approached that of the years immediately preceding the entrance of the United States in the war. The record for July was 378 per- mits and $61O,273 in value August fell a little under July in values, but exceeded in the number of improvements, with 412 permits and S507,6 $40.
 Statistics collected by trade journals show that during the last three or four months building operations have gone ahead more rapidly in the south than in any other section of the country The in- crease in the southern states in August was about $40 per cent compared with A11oc1 thoy ol, 4o4 being in the east which showed a gain of about 200 per cent
 The fact that practically all of the Bir- mingham permits were for structures of comparatively small value is a very good indication of the renewed activity in home building. Birmingham, like most other cities, has enough business houses to SUD- ply present needs in that respect, whereas, there is and has for long time been an acute shortage in dwellings and apart mentS.
 This situation has enabled property owners to advance rents to almost unpre- cedented figures, in some instances the in- crease approXimating 100 per cent.
 Time has proven that property owners WOulO nave galnoQ raCnof than lOSC Dy De- ginning construction work earlier. They are paying just as much for labor and materials now as they would have had to pay six or seven months ago, and by wait ing they have lost the income from the in- vestment for several months.
 The present outlook is for continued ac- tivity in the building line for an indefinite period. The only thing that can stop it now that it is we'll under way, is business crisis that would tie up industry which does not at present appear to be proba- bility.
 There is unrest all over the country, and threats of strikes and lockouts are heard every day, but the impression prevails that everything will be adjusted without any material impairment of general busi- ness conditions.
 Birmingham is regaining her stride in- dustrially and every plant and every busi- ness that is not now running at full tilt is expected to be doing so by the end of the year.
