 JULIAN KENDRICK
 Tn reading over the recommenda- tions of the grand jury in their report noticed that they criticized Batson for his recommendations in awarding several county contracts said Julian Kendrick. city engineer. 4In the ma jority of instances the work involved was in the city limits and the city was sharing the expenses jointly with the county. Consequently. I joined with Batson in the recommendations and l feel that I should take half of the blame. However, I still believe that the recommendations weer for the best interests of the city and county, and I do not expect to retract them on ac- count of the criticism
 K A. BROWN
 T regret that the grand jury had to make such a report of affairs of the county in which I live. If true, the situation is deplorable, but as I have, not heard any of the testimony given before the grand jury and only read ing the report as appearing in the paper, don't think I can go any further than that"

no we grow in Birmingham?
 D We do grow steadily all the time and very solidly. Sometimes it comes by leaps and bounds and it is difficult to follow
 It is we'll to occasionally summarize and see what we are doing.
 Totaling the monthly investment of new capital in the industries of the district during the nine months of this year we find that it foots up $13, 3,470,000. This is twice the 1919 investment in the same line, 1t is more than twice the investment in 1918 and it is 150 per cent more than the same investment in the same period of 1919.
 The good ship Mobile City, built of Bir- mingham steel in Alabama s port city has sailed for China and Japan bearing 6,319 tons of Birmingham steel for peoples of the Orient She is the fourth of these splendid freighters to carry our wares, our name and our prestige to the corners < of the earth.
 Realizing the need of young men in the export trade, we have laid the foundation of Birmingham School of Foreign Com merce, where they will learn the language and customs of foreign peoples, especial ly those to the south of us where we are to do our greatest export business
 While we have been reaching out for bigger things, the census has given us proof of what we have done and can do. Our stout sister Bessemer comes to the fore with population of 18,674, an in- crease of 71.9 per cent. She remains the fourth city in the state. Her pride is that of Birmingham, because we are in the same county and face the same destiny.
 Then comes the census with 3O9,513 population for Jefferson county, an in- crease over 1910 of 36.7 per cent. That district, which increases it's population by more than one-third in ten years is essen tially among the live ones.
 Blount has increased 19 per cent and St. Clair 12.9 per cent. All the industrial counties have given a good account of themselves. They are our neighbors. Greater population in industrial Alabama means greater consumption of the farm products from other sections.
 The Chamber of Commerce has or ganized young mems chamber within that body. That means the well-directed energies of our strong, imaginative and willing minds and hearts hitched to the car of civic progress. There is no limit to the good that may be accomplished there. The balloon elimination race was a pronounced success. Birmingham by product gas has proven it's superiority to any of the by-product family.

expect too much of him. Brennan is
 tough and courageous fellow and no cinch to knock out. However, it is not
 the fact that Dempsey took twelve rounds to stop him as much as the
 manner in which Dempsey fought dur
 ing those twelve rounds. Dempsey s performance was not of worlds cham pionship order as established by Cor bett, Fitz, Jeffries and Johnson. As a
 matter of fact, Dempsey and Brennan looked like a couple of white hopes the other night.
 Again the thought arises, maybe Jack was a little lucky to hit such
 men as Willard and Fulton on the chin with the first punch.
 However, Dempsey is unquestionably the best heavyweight in the world, but there are several others who have a good chance with him. Willard, Wills and Carpenter are all better men than Brennan.

Brennan. and he certainly tried. The motion pictures were not worth acting for
 The real reason is that Dempsey has been somewhat over-rated. It seems that every time a fighter wins a title he is at once regarded as invincible. It was true of Willard. Before he fought Johnson he was a big joke, but immediately after winning the cham pionship he was considered a super man. Dempsey is a mighty good fighter, but he is no superman-you can bet on that. Brennan demonstrat- ed that he Is easy to hit, and also that his deadly wallop does not always mean certain death. Bill took the champions left hook on the chin and lived. It was the left hook to the body that beat Brennan.
 Dempsey's sensational victories of the past few years led the public to

Dempsey is human, after all.
 He is no ''man-eater," ring tiger" or superman.
 Bill Brennan. an ordinary second rate heavyweight, proved that conclu- sively Brennan wasn't afraid-that is all He was full of confidence and courage and went out after Dempsey so fast that the champions formidable reputation melted like snow. Demp- sey staggered, marked and battered, looked anything but champion as he sat in his corner with his nose, mouth and ear flowing blood and a look of worry on his face.
 How come?
