4-MILE DAILY WALK 4
ENOUGH FOR HEALTH
La,Uson Robertson, Penn
Coach, Re com m e n d.
Jaunt To and From Office
for Business Man
BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

BY EDWIN d. BUbLOCh
IT'S easy to keep in fairly good physi-
i cal condition, but it's easier to fall
into the rut Of sluggish liver, indi-
gestion. colds, hkbby and unhealthy
fat.
The average citizen has an idea that
unless it's summer when he can chase
out to the links, get to function on a
tennis court or swim, exercise is too
much trouble. The A. G. hasn't the
time to spare to dash to gymnasiums
end furthermore. he doesn't want to
as a rule. But there's q happy medium
between no exercise and gymnastic
work in the winter.
Lawson Robertson, who knows as
much as, if not more than, any other
man in the country on physical con
dition. was discussing the subject of
physical efficiency at Franklin Field
the other day. He came through with a
timely suggestion.
There's no exercise like walking"
said the Penn trainer. Il realize that
some business men haven't much time to
spare, that going to a gymnasium is
out of the question, but yet there's nc
reason why every man shouldn't be able
to get in some simple form of exercise
like walking.
~ would recommend walking to anC
| from the office, that is if a man. hom,

A walk of two miles in the mornin,
and again in the evening is enough
for any business man to keep goin;
right, providing the walking is don,
correctly.

RYAN DENIES THAT :. FINANCES ARE LOW.
Confers With Comptroller of Currency When Bankers

By Associated Press New Ork, November 27.--Allan A. Ryan went to Washington today to confer with Je hn Skelton Williams. comptroller of the currensy after bankers and attorneys at a conference here considered plans for the formation of a comlnitte to inquire into Mr. Ryans affairs.
 MT. Ryan declined to make statement, ting to say to the public after his con- ference with him in Washington. His only comment on the report that the banks inte,ded to take care Of his assets to protect his obligations to them. was; The story was inspired"
 He denied that he was either in flnan- cial difficulties c1 facing them, and char acterized as a joke reports to that ef- feet
 If I'm broke" he declared, ''a1l the banks are broke"
 MT. Ryan's reported intention to take up with Comptroller Williams his reia- lions with the banks was interpreted in financial circles here to mean that he might start a war on the Wall street banks
 His conference with the comptroller was regarded as significant in view of MT. Williams criticism or Walll street na- tioisu CdHhS lor LOT WHdt iie ioSe1 aou W excessive rates for call loans made TOT stock exchange purposes.

school the most eminent success. It is
 a fact that it has brought first rate education to many poor boys and girls who otherwise would have never gotten it. This being true, the school deserves
 the respect, as well as the support, of
 all our people. It is also true that the school enjoys this support most unreserv- edly. While it is a Methodist institution
 and supposed to be strictly under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal con-
 ference, still it is not by any means
 supported solely by the Northern Metho-
 dist church. The Southern Methodists,
 the Missionary Baptists, the Presbyte- rians, and, in fact. all the denomina-
 tions of the community have helped to
 make the school what it is They have
 helped with their money with their in fluence and by sending to it their girls and boys. In fact, some of it's most suc-
 cessful teachers have been young ladies who were members of the Baptist church, while one of the present trustees of the institution IS a prominent Baptist layman of the town.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: . Some few mornings ago there appeared news item in The Age-Herald entitled, Stories of Heart Interest as Told by pr. Fielder, President of the Methodist Seminary at Boaz." Now, I have been a reader and an admiring supporter of The Age-Herald for years, and knowing your reputation always for fair play, I hope you will not consider me presumptu- ous if 1 ask for. just a little space in which to reply briefly to the article Ill question:.
 In the first place, I do not desire any controversy with Dr. Fielder. nor any one else. My only desire is to try to correct some false impressions that cer- tainly must have been made when peo- pie read the article to which l refer. Among other things, pr. Fielder spoke most eloquently of the great work the Boaz seminary is doing Of course, I would not undertake to deny the fact that the seminary is a greaet school, for i. most certainly is.
 l would not for anything throw even single straw in the way of it's progress, for all right-thinking people wish for the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-11-28

which l wish to write AS I have already stated, in reading the article to which I refere, one who does not know is liable to be drawn to the wrong conclusion in re regard to this country and it is this wrong impression I desire to correct. pr. Fielder must have indeed painted a dark picture to those good Birming ham people that Sunday morning. l guess they were led to believe that Boaz was just little cleared spot away back in the bowling wilderness, where schools and churches are unknown, where the inhabitants do not even wear shoes, where the "whangdoodle still mourns for it's first born," and that the Boaz seminary is the only beacon light in this benighted land of ignorance.
 FACTS ABOUT BOAZ
 /well, here are the facts: Boaz is a thriving little city of some 1000 in- habitants, situated on the Nashville, Chattanoog and St. Louis railroad, about an hours ride from the city of Gadsden. I do not believe there is a town in the state. the same size of Boaz whose people are any more wide-awake and I dare say there is not town in all the country no larger than Boaz that has any more pretty homes, nor one where the people all come as near own ing the homes in which they live as they. do right here in BoaZ It is also true that the business men of Boaz, taken as whole. are as wide-awake and as progressive as can be found in any town regardless of size, while their doctors, preachers and other professional men rank with the very best in this country. Of course, the Northern Methodists have a strong and prosperous church here, but the Southern Methodists and the Missionary Baptsts also have strong and prosperous churches.
 Besides the seminary Boaz has also a fine public high school, maintained by the state, and in this school pupils are carried through the eleventh grade. Some of the very best teachers in the county are employed in this school, and it's work is of the very highest order. Now, while these are facts concerning the town, what about the country surround ing Boaz? What about that up the mountain county" whense came the young man spoken of in the article to. which I refer? He was described as being q lad of 15 years old, wearing a slouch hat and blue overalls. It was

EVERY ADVANTAGE IN.
 BUILDING NOW

While there is cons iderable surplus of lumber and other building materials in the country at present moment, all of it and all that the mills can trun out will find ready market just as soon as the spring weather comes when building may be started in the North. Since the weather in Birmingham is such that building can go on almost every day in the year. the necessity for waiting and competing in high market with the rest of the country does not exist for people in this section.

Jenison's Weekly Review

 's Those who are now preparing their plans and arranging for the construction of their new bones at an early date are showing foresight and business sagacity We believe that all those who need homes and expect to build within the next year will regret it if they 'wait.until the middle of the spring before making their arrange ments.
 Indications are that building materials are cheaper now than they. will be next May or June after the heavy buying sea son begins in the North and East In our opinion, people have held off from build ing homes. apartments and other struc- lures just as long as they can wait and within few months the building boom is going to be in. full swing.

BUILDING LOTS TO BE
 VERY SHORT

The number of improved vacant resi-
 dential lots in Birming gham, either high or

 enough to meet the immediate needs for
 the homes which must be constructed here
 sodn. Due to the situation in the money market which makes it practically impos- sibie for municipalities to provide proper streets, sidewalks. storm or sanitary sew. CTS. and which prevents the street car, light, power. gas and telephone companies from extending their lines, it will prob
 ably be some years before any consider
 able humber of improved residential lots
 are added to the present supply,
 As an indication of the seriousness of
 this situation. we know of one company which recently sold some residential lots under a guarantee that these improve ments would be provided. The sale price ob the property was $15 per front foot and 1t cost the sellers more than thcv received for the property to make good m

I wonder why the reverend doctor did not tell those people from whom the young ster received his inspiration to try to get an education? It is just a little curious that boy who has lived until he was 15 years. old, and that, too, all his life among people who could neither read nor write, nor who did not even wear shoes should throw aside everything and walk barefooted 15 miles into a land of stran- gers, to lay the foundation of his career without dollar. l must say that it re- quires some grit to do a stunt like that and we all hope the young man will sue ceed most admirably.
