 Efforts are being made by some of the agitators of the strike to have the state troops recalled; but those who know Governor Tom Kilby feel assured that the troops will be kept here just as long as there is danger of intimidation of the working miners. The governor is deter mined that the people of the state shall be supplied with coal this winter and that every man who wants to dig coal shall be protected in his work and pro- tected in going to and from his home and his place of employment.
 Regardless of abortive attempts at in- limitation and some supposed attempts at assassination the old-time miners are working with energy and profit, and the more timid ones are going back to work in droves Indeed the strike has almost come to an end. and our distinguished foreign visitors and agitators will soon

Prevention of Fires

Fire prevention week is a great thing and should help the people to bs more careful of fires,' said James K. Davidson. More people are burned to death by the open grate than are killed by trains and automobiles. In one month last year right here in Birming ham eight persons were burned to death.
 This could be eliminated just by the expenditure of $1.5o for grate screen and in my opinion 1t would be a good thing to have a campaign to get grate screen and see that ;t is kept in place. While this would, of course. be some trouble. 1t would be a great saving of lives and some of the progressive clubs of Birmingham sf ould get behind a movement of this kind"

His Troubles

There are two kinds of people who give me more trouble in driving my car than all the balance of the per- sens and traffic on the streets" said J. Mercer Barnett. First and foremost are the boys on skates or sleds upon which they stand with one foot while they propel it with the other. You rever know which way they are going to turn. Then comes the delivery boys on wheels, for they scoot in and out among the moving cars with reck- lessness that makes me constantly afraid that I will get one in spite Of all I can do. They cut corners and z;g-zag from one curb to the other just as it seems to me to have some one run them down."
