DEMOCRACY ID RULE. IN THE PROGRAMMED CIVIC CHAM BIER
Will Be Wide Open to Think ing Men and Women and Free of Factions and
 Inside Cliques

In anticipation of the membership drive next week of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. the balance of this week will be devoted by Charles A. simmons and his associates to per fecting the team organization. The finishing touches will also be given to the preparation of the material for the teams when they set out on Monday next so that no man will waste min ute of time.
 Several committee meetings were held yesterday in the campaign head quarters al 26 Nineteenth street. north, to make sure nothing was being over looked. At one of these meetings the degree of democracy which will char acterize the new organization was dis cussed. As a result of this MT. Sim mons, speaking for the men who have been active in the promotion of the ex- pansion plans said:
 We want every citizen of Birming ham to take an active interest in this project. If we cannot convince the people that the new Chamber of Com merce is going to be wide open to ev- cry thinking man and woman in this community we might as well stop right here"
 MT. Simmons asserted that the new chamber will be built on lines of democracy pure and simple: It's gov erning groups will be chosen by the ballots of every member after pri- mary in which all the members will make such nominations as they see fit; the bylaws will be simple and brief the form of organization and operation will at all times remain in the hands of the full membership. Under this plan of organization and operation" said MT. Simmons, it is essential that each member regard him. ! self as on an absolutely equal footing
 with every other member. Factions 1 and inside cliques' will be fmpossi- ! ble It is even improper, strictly speak 1 ing, to refer to the directors and off i cers as the governing group.

SODAWATERG GLASSES MUST BE STER|L|ZED
Dispensers Fined for Viola tion of City Health Ordi-
 nance-Warning Given

The fning of soda dispensers at sew eral local drug stores yesterday on charge of serving soft drinks in unster- ilized glasses marks the beginning of a campaign to enforce the city ordinance requiring ali glasses in which drinks are served to be sterilized, according to a statement given out yesterday by Dr. J. D. Bowling, city health officer. The fines assessed were s1 each ex- cept in one instance when the fine was set at $5, this being the second of fence
 Recently the city commission passed an ordinance requiring every soft drink sold at founts in Birming ham to be dispensed in sterilized glass. The ordinance was amended as to cover proprietors as well as soda clerks. The clerks may be arrested for using a glass that has not been steril- ized since it was used and the pro- prietor or manager may be arrested for allowing unsterilized glasses to be used.
 We are going to enforce this law, ], said Dr. Bowling yesterday. The health department requests the cooperation of the public in the matter of reporting cases where glasses are used without being steralized. This is the only way by which we can force every fount to comply strictly with the law.
 We are going to send plain clothes men to various founts often both as watchers and as customers. If glasses are used without having first been sterilized arrests will follow. I believe that all the founts have the steralizers but many of them do not use them.
 We want the cooperation of the managers of the stores as well as the public, but We are going to keep a constant watch. The cases that have come up have been treated lightly but now that the warning has been giver increased penalties will be imposed"
 pr. Bowling stated that every steI possible will be taken by the city health department to keep down disease, anG especially typhoid, in Birmingham. Hs pointed out that in 1917 Birmingham had four times as much typhoid as any other city in the United States, witf the exception of Nashville. and that Birmingham had twice as much as Nashville that year.

Perhaps no feature of the 1919 Kiwanian convention will remain so solidly imbedded in the memories of those so fortunate as to be present as the series of demonstrations during the Canadian hour when Captain lakes. one of Canadas war heroes and recently elected head of the Ontario veterans was called from the floor yesterday afternoon for what were presumably to have been mere remarks,
 Gifted with eloquent impression, his very soul abounding in the noble ideals which sprung from the war. and pos sessing a magnificent broadness which gave room to appreciation of the part played by the United States in the ulti- mate victory, in fact even belittling the never to be forgotten contribution of the Dominion of Canada, he aroused his audience as he rected history to tumultuous interruptions which some so stirred feelings in the hearts of the hundreds of men by his eloquence which could only find expression in tears and even sobs.
