TWO CASES PRESENTED

Along the walls of the directors room were elaborate charts of City and County Health Officer Bowling, taken, as he said. from the statistics of the various cities sent in by health official 's and showing the following facts: Tha [ the more milk pasteurized in any city, the greater the supply and therefore the consumption per capita: that the more milk pasteurized the larger the zone from whence the milk supply comes and the more milk pasteurizea. the greater is the decrease in diseases that are milk borne that Birmingham ls consuming an average of only .1S6 of pint per capita. which is oniy about one-thir I'd of the normal con sumption throughout the United States.
 Mir. Ramsey read to the board 9 lengthy report of a special investi- gator which pronounced the dairy farms and equipment of the Birnling- ham district Is above the average in cleanliness. The investigator. who. said MT. Ramsey. has had long exper- fence in milk inspection in other cit ties took issue with several of the published statements of Dr. Bowling.

ASSOCIATION CAREFUL

The resolution of the Civic associa . tion governing board declined to is- dorse any specific ordinance or regula,- tion, but unanimously put the direc- tors on record as being in favor of a reasonable ordinance which will give the consumers of Birmingham much larger supply of milk. and pure milk The board declared for pasteurIzation of all milk that did not come up to a certain standard of cleanliness and declined to express any opinion as to what would be a reasonable standard of milk. It was the opinion of the board members that the experts could best determine what should be the maximum bacterial count
 Messrs Matthews and Ramsey told the board that the proposed ordinanc7 of the city prescribes 60,000 bacteria as the maximum. and then declared positively tkat this was hardly equal led in its stringent requirements by any city in the United States. They assured the board that the dairymen of the district are ready to indorse pas- teurization of ali mink distributed in the city which shows higher co7lnt, of bacteria than 100000. They proposed as a substitute for the pending ordi- nance, regulations which will class as grade A. all milk which shows 10O. O01 bacteria or less. land as grade B. all milk with count Of more than 1OO. .o0O and less than 100000, and which will compel pasteurization of all milk with count of over 100000 bacteria. The dairy representatives challenged the statement of Dr. Bowling tfat pasteurzation will ultimately tend tc reduce the price or milk or to increase the supply. On the contrary, they aa- serted that it would increase the price because it would add to the cost O, d etrihution

THE BARBECUE IDEA

The plan which was most enthusi- astically received was that suggested by Capt ]. D. Abbott of the engineers of the First army. He stated he had been with the boys on the Argonne front, and to parade them through town to be cheered was no pleasure. to the men, whom he thought would ap preciate an old-fashioned barbecue.
 He said he knew of a site on the mountain where such a celebration could be held, and which was reached by several street cars and a road was now being built.
 By way of making the boys feel at home and that we here knew the way they had lived while in France, we could have a part of the road camou- flaged as it was over there have some trenches, barbed wire entanglements, bomb holes, and several machine guns" said Captain Abbott
