 most a year. It was an appropriate coincidence that, being descended froin two typical old New England families, he should have been placed in a divis- ion composed entirely of New England troops-Headquarte company, 102nd Field Artillery. twenty sixth division ane of the six divisions reviewed by President Wilson on Christmas Day, and the one with which the President had his Christmas dinner.

SAYS COLD WEATHER BRINGS RETURN OF
 INFLUENZA
Public Must Be Careful to Avoid a Second Epidemic. Easier to Prevent Than
 Cure. What to Do

'Encourag ging reports of the fewer cases of Influenza in this vicinity should not allow us to relax our vigilance or to become careless in the belief that the danger is all over,' says a well known authority. With the coming of cold weather there is apt to be return of this frightful epidemic and it's serious ness will depend on the extent of the precautions taken by the public, to pre- vent infection.
 When the air is full of influenza germs, you may be constantly breathing them into your nose and throat. But their danger may be avoided and you may make yourself practically immune to infection if you oes.loy the germ before it actually begins work in your blood.
 During the recent serious epidemic which hit Birmingham so hard. most successful results were obtained by many through the simple breathing into the nose, throat and lungs of the medi- cated air of oil of Hyomei. Probably no better, safer or more sensible precau- ton against Influenza. Grippe, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis or Catarrh of the nose and throat could be employed than to go now to the nearest drug store and get complete Hyomei outfit consisting or a bottle of the pure Oil of Hyom ei haler device into which a few drops of the oil are poured.

This simple pre- cautlon may save you serious illness and the loss of several weeks work. It IS pleasant to use and not at all expen- slve as the inhaler will last a lifetime and further supplies of the Oil of Hy omel can be had at any drug store for few cents.
 Hundreds of people in this vicinity used Hyomei in this way during inc ra cent crisis and avoided danger. They should not neglect it now for the dan ser IS by no means over-Adv.

POOR BUILDINGS CHIEF SUFFERERS
 IN REGENT QUAKE
Formal Investigation Is Made of Heavy Loss of Life and Prop
 erty in Porto Rico
By Associated Press

1 San Juan. Porto Rico, December 30 l Loss of 2000 lives and $5000000 dam age to property as the result of the 1 earthquake shocks here fn October | and November was due chiefly to the l poor construction of buildings along the west coast of the island. in the opinion of Henry Fielding Reid and Stephen Taber, members of the ses-
 mological commission sent by the fed l eral government at the request of Governor Yager to investigate and re- | port on the disaster.
 Shocks of a similar nature have oc- cured in the past in Porto Rico and ] may occur again, in the opinion of these experts. but the possible loss that may be caused can be greatly reduced by the erection of shocl<-resisting struc- lures, their report states.
 The members of, the commission are noted geologists. Dr. Reid is from Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore. while pr. Taber is from the Univer- sity of South Carolina, at Columbia, South Carolina.
 The shocks which occurred here the
 two geologists report, were less in in-
 tensity than that which occurred in
 California in 1908 or the Charleston
 earthquake in 1SSes In their report to part:
 We believe the earthquakes were due to fractures of the rock in the northern part of Mona passage, not far from the northwestern part of the Island of Porto Rico, and that the frac- ture which caused the shock of De- tober II (the first of the series) was accompanied by a small vertical dls placement of a very limited area of the sea bottom. causing the sea wave which rose along the shores soon after the shock. Displacements of this kind are not uncommon, and pretend no great disaster to Porto Rico.
 The damage done by the shocks was greatest in the western part of the island and diminished progressive ly. though not uniformly. toward the east. On soft alluvial soils it was greater than on more solid foundations | in the same neighborhood.
 'The character of the construction | of these buildings was responsible for l the great destruction wrought We'll | made reinforced concrete buildings suffered TO serious injury even in the | regions where the shock was strong est. Wooden buildings and the small | native huts, by yielding to the shock, | were not damaged"
 Suggesting types of buildings capa- | ble of resisting the shocks, the geolo- | gists say: steel frame structures and l reinforced concrete buildings are the | strongest; the best cement should all ! ways be used. Brick houses, where 1 the best cement is used. are fairly | strong. Wooden houses are entirely l safe.
 "All strong earthquakes are followed | by after shocks, which gradually die out in strength and in number. The | after-shocks here have grown infre- | quent and very light There is cer- | tainly no special reason for expect ing another strong shock in the near futursy"

A few short weeks ago industry here was bending its every energy every hour of the twenty-four producing the missiles of destruction destined for a Prussian autocracy. Then one day, just before the dawn broke in the east, the shrieking whistles proclaimed to this city of magic growth that the war was over. Did our business and industrial leaders come down to their desks the next morning, twiddle their thumbs and say, What's next? We don't do business that way. The plans that had been made months before against just such day as that were brought forth, and in few hours our mammoth fac tories, with their roaring furnaces, the giant drop hammers banging away in ceaseless clamor, the monotonous hum of drills and lathe and the staccato beat of thousands of tools against steel pro- claimed that Birmingham was under way for a conquest of the empire of peaceful production.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-01-12

Birmingham had practically billion dollars worth of war orders. Owing to our industrial preparedness, the per centage of work completed when the gong sounded on the big conflict was as great as that in any other city. Mil lions of dollars have been paid out in wages to employees, most of them earn- ing in the last two years more than they ever earned before in their lives. The wonderful increase in savings deposits and the records hung up in the purchase of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps is proof positive that these same
 workmen and women have saved their earnings, and the lure of our city is such that the vast ma jority of them who have come to our borders during war times will remain here, forming a permanent. prosperous addition to our population.
