For Good of the
 Community

GENERAL years ago, when there was O dearth of demand for steel rails in this country, the mills at Ensley ran on orders for 100000 tons of rails for Latin American countries.
 But for that business the Ensley mills would have been idle or near idle and sev- eral thousand men at work in mines and quarries as we'll as at the steel mills would have been out of employment. Merchants of Birmingham would have sold fewer goods.
 The finishing mills of the steel corpora tion in this district operate continuously because they are convenient to the export trade and serve that trade. Many times, when no new business is coming to the steel products trade at home, these mills are steadily making iron to be converted into steel for other peoples.
 Big machine shops of the district are often engaged in manufacture of sugar house machinery for Cuba when but for that business, order books would be bare. This district depends on ships Those who would understand their district must learn to think in terms of ships
 While the Tuscaloosa City, latest pro- duction of the Chickasaw yards is leaving her dock at Mobile today for Rotterdam with cargo of 7 ,000 tons of Birmingham steel products, the Craster Hall has moved to docks to take on Birmingham steel for the Orient. This is going on all the time. Thus account for the operation of the furnaces and steel mills of the steel corporation as usual while many plants have slowed down or are idle.
 Another interesting item from the Mo- bile shipping news of yesterday is the sail ing of the Munson line steamer Munrio for Montevideo and Buenos Ayres She has aboard 1900 tons of sugar mill ma- chinery and 1,800 tons of iron and steel nroductss
 As tor coal, there is steady flow of it month n and month out and there will be many times the present movement when the coal terminals now assured, are built there.
 There is only one thing missing in this Birmingham export business. Alabam- ians would like for more of it to go through Mobile than does go that way. But port of New Orleans has been ex- banded by state aid and ships are accus- toned to put in there, relying on prompt cargoes-
 Two of the Chickasaw ships, built at- Mobile, were forced to go to New Orleans to complete cargo for their maiden trip The steel corporation cannot furnish all. Some of the Chickasaw ships on return from their first sailing out of Mobile have been forced to put in at New Orleans for cargo.
 Chickasaw City is booked to sail from New Orleans for the Far East Decem- Der 15.
 Birmingham City, our own namesake, is booked to sail from New Orleans De- cember 25th.
 The Montgomery City was compelled to complete her cargo at New Orleans when she made her maiden trip to Chris tiana and Rotterdam in November.
 Lots of Birmingham steel products and other Alabama products go to other coun- tries via New Orleans because Mobile does not furnish sufficient cargo

urged by the Representatives of the

the public nurse have furnished the
Cald domain Record with the following
report of what has been accomplish
ed.
A report of the nursing service
conducted by the Woman's Club will
be of interest to voters at this time
because of the appropriation made
by the town, last March, toward the
salary of the nurse.
Up to February 18th a nurse has
been employed 35 weeks. She has
made 1901 visits on ITO individuals.
The salary account to February 10
amounted to $7i4.77, against which
there has been turned over to the
town STA of fees collected from pay
ing cases, so that the Club has aetu-
ally received from the town $670.77.
During the epidemic it has been
very fortunate that there was nurse
regularly employed who could be de-
pended upon. In fact, during the
past two weeks tho - been so
much more work than one nurse
could do that the Cluo has provided
one assistant all the time and sec
