 l was born and raised in the west Birmingham has been my home for over eight years, and I expect to stay here for many more years. If I didn't like it here 1 would get out and keep my mouth shut, but for men the type of O'Connor l would say l have seen things in Chicago no one ever has seen or ever will see in Birming gham. If he will look at yesterdays Chicago Fri bune, in which he will find crime section" he will find plenty of room to start his reform work in his own city.
 However, Birmingham, like every city, has many things of which she is not proud, and 1 believe an honest ef- fort wilAbe made to rectify them., It's no disgrace to have, bed bugs, but it is a disgrace to keep them. So far as our blue laws are concerned, they are subject of debate and l would welcome a vote of the citizenship on the local application of same as they now stand. My personal opinion is that we so to the two extremes instead of the happy medium.

"To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 MT. OConnor should certainly have the crocheted bicycle, for when it comes to getting the Magic City told, MT. O'Connor did what he thought was his duty, but-in my estimation he did mild job
 "Fred Baker came nearer hitting the nail on the head in this mornings paper when he said. Get that hayseed commis- sion out of the way than anyone has yet
 Poor men, they have nowhere to go on Sunday except to park on the corners and look 'em over. What could you ex- pect? Of course, there is no excuse for any man insulting a decent girl if she chances to walk down the street alone and something should be done to stop all this If we had the proper laws and they were observed, instead of having them half and half and not obeyed at all, this town would soon be a regular town and people would enjoy coming here. instead of dreading it. if they are compelled to come here on business. It's hard for a person to knock her or his own town, but knowing the kind of stuff it is made out of, who could help it? I am business woman and I can truthfully say that when leave my office in the afternoon want to go straight home, due to the fact that on every corner there they are staring you out of existence
 ''why can't we have picture shows on Sunday? This would be a great help to the cty and thus eliminate some of the ,oafing The people ought to get togeth- CT and do something, and do it now, and by doing so save the reputation of Bir. ringham.

NEW PRIMARY SCHOOL

The public schools or Bessemer will open September 20, and the children of the city and rural districts around the city will have better educational ad- vantages than they have ever had before. For several years the schools have been overtaxed and crowded In the number of pupils, but there have been number of needed Improvements made III, the schools which will eliminate this condi- tion.
 A new primary school has recently been completed on Fifth avenue on the lot ad- joining Roberts School. This school has been named for the fate Professor Vance, who was at the time or his death prin- cipal ot the high school. Ihe building, which is of brick, is one of the most beautiful structures in the county, and the furnishings and equipment are as modern and up-to-date as any school Tn the state It is built on the unit plan, space being left for the addition or six teen more rooms, which will be added as the city grows and the attendance increases.
 The primary grades will be accommo- dated in this school and l60 provided for

HOME BUILDING IS
 ON THE INCREASE
Nearly Three Millions Expend- ed in New Structure Rec-
 ord for Eight Months

Birmingham has invested almost $S.oo0,o0o in new structures in the city limits during the first eight months of the year.
 The exact total for the eight months is S2,s92,27S. compared with s2,25s. 239 in the same period of 1919 an increase Tor this year of S73S,039 or 32 per cent.
 Reaction from the comparative sub sloence in building operations ensued in August and the tendency is decided ly more strongly toward the building or homes than at any time this year.
 There were fifty building permits for frame residences issued in August and the vast majority of these were for simplicity or emergency homes, to which owners expect to add later on as. they become able. The Birmingham Realty Company alone took out nearly thirty permits for simplicity homes
 The record of the eight months os 1920 and 1919 in detail is as follows

c. E. MEGLEMRY

g"TG the Editor of The Age Herald
 v have noted what was written by MT OConnor of Chicago and numbers of our good citizens and while there is no dis position on my part to knock anyone, I feel it my duty to say something about some of the conditions that exist.
 q would speak of the number of peo- ple both white and colored, who gather at the L. & N station daily, might say, and spend the greater part of their time here crowding out passengers who are to take the trains, while these people neither go on any train nor meet anyone arriV- ing on one.
 "On Saturdays and Sundays there arc so very many of these people gathered here that it is with great difficulty that the passengers arriving on the trains are gotten out of the exit gates and through the midway.
 "It is nothing for from 150 to POO or more negroes to gather al and about the exit gate on Saturdays and Sundays and block everything so that l have had to open two other gates to get the passen- gers off the trains and out of the train shed. If something is not done to get rid of these people who spend the most of the day, daily, in and about this station Mir. tOConnor, or some one else, will be writing the matter up
 "Only last Sunday, after I had opened one of the extra gates to try to get the passengers out of the train she'd some gentleman who had just arrived and got ten off the train, and who could not get through the great crowd at the regular exit gate with his hand baggage in each hand said to me as he passed out at the gate I had opened: My, who are they, and what are they looking for?' Yours truly,
