 COMING IN SLOWLY
Balance of $135.77 In Treasury of Old Associated Charities Donated to Anti-Tubercul0sis Work
 In County

Contributions continue to come into the headquarters of the Red Cross Christi mas seal campaign, but there has been difficulty in getting reports from other counties of the state besides Jeffedson.

 Two contributions of size were received yesterday from Birmingham donors. The beginners department of the Independent Presbyterian Sunday school by Miss Lillian Powell. superintendent, and Miss Anna B. Robb, treasurer sent check for s3O for the antf-tuberculosis cause. X balance of Sl35.1T remaining In the treas- ury of what was known as the ~ani- ens auxiliary of the old Associated Char tiles organization will be turned over to the Anti-Tuberculosls Association. Mrs Ross C. smith. representing the auXiliary, wrote Dr. Eaves q letter stating that this money was to be devoted to charity, and
 1t had been decided to donate the fund tC the association.

.B|G INCREASE IN COAL PRODUCTION Predicted That Weekly Pro- duction Will Soon Reach
 100000 Tons

Coal production in the Birmingham district took on a spurt last week with the result that,the output exceeded that of any week since January %, 1919, and closely approximates the weekly average of the summer and faii ot 1913 when the government was urging the ming of every ton possible.
 With only three or four mines not reporting, compilations made by Frank V. Evans of the Alabama Coal Operators Association show theoutput for the week ended January 10 was 360,00o tons compared to 277,a50 tons the preceding week.
 Operators report that there is de- mand for every ton they can pro- duce, both domestic and fuel grades. the industries of this district now be- ing in full operation and requiring a large percent of the output
 Some of the mines reporting last week state that there is a slight labor shortage and that in some instances railroad cars were not supplied promptly.
 It is believed in coal circles that the weekly production will reach the 4oo,- 900 tons mark before spring, and some operators declare that this amount of coal-will be required of the district regularly from now on.
 A few sales of pig iron at sSS to $3S.50 ton, No. ? foundry. with from f.75 to 2.25 per cent silicon have been reported by the local makers this week, and the indications are that it will go to $40 by the end of the month.
 There is very little iron in the dis trict for sale, the furnace companies having booked orders last fall run hing through the first quarter and into the second quarter of this year that will take practically all of their make.
 There are 22 active stacks on the first of January and it is reported that tw GOT three others will be blown in at an early date. Of the 42 furnaces in the state only about 31 or S2 can be operated successfully, according to officials of furnace companies, and it is said that practically all of these will be in operation by summer

CONFIDENT OF ACCURACY

So confident are the enumerators that the work is thorough that one woman stated she would give $10 for every person missed in her district through any fault of hers. The enumerators were busy yesterday taking the large apartment houses and hotels and were meeting with splendid success. The blanks had been left there previously, and while all were not filled out, many of them were and the other residents will be seen before the end of the week.
 Approximately 15.00O persons were enumerated yesterday which practi- cally completed the 1920 census for Bir- mingham. Many persons are estimat- ing Birmingham'is population as shown by the new census and the majority run between 205.000 and 210.000. although some persons have stated that unless it reached the 24o.o00 mark 1t would be d failure.
 i At meeting of the Real Estate Ex- change yesterday afternoon at the Southern Club the members were asked how many had not been enumerated, and about one-thrd of the members present reported that they had not been enumerated. These will be gotten be- fore the work is closed tomorrow, it is declared.

Y. M. |. A. PREPARES FOR IHRIF I WEEK
Four-Minute Speakers An nounced to Make Ad-
 dresses Saturday Night

Master Money Matters or They Will next week when the Thrift week cam paign of the Birmingham Young Mems Christian Association will be held. This is the slogan selected for the campaign and all men and women of the city will be urged to develop habits of thrift by numerous appeals planned by off cials of the Y. M c. A.
 The Thrift week campaign will open in Birmingham Saturday morning and will continue through Saturday of next week. The opening day of the cam paign has been set on the 17th because of the fact that on that day Benjamin Franklin was born.
 Saturday will be the anniversary of Benjamin Franklin and Bank day. said H. H Howell of the Birmingham Y. NJ c. A. who is taking an active part in Thrift week activities in Birmingham What better day could have been se- lected for National Thrift day, the be- ginning of National Thrift week?
 'sIt is the day on which thousands and thousands of loyal American cti zens, many right in our town, have started a practice of systematic ac- emulation by opening a bank account Saturday is the day that they have se- lected to make an end of needless ex travagance and establish a surplus in their name in local bank. Those who already have a bank account have selected that date as an appropriate time to add materially to the surplus which they are in the habit of main la ming in U cir bank
 Tn this way they propose to rise to the occasion just as they did so many times during the war, and help theii country tide over a period of severt economic stress. In this way they pro. pose to do their part to assure a con tinuarce of the unusual prosperity which business in general is enjoyirfs; at the present time'

GET THEM WHERE THEY SLEEP

Well, we have orders to get the peo-
 pie in the districts where they sleep. and as none of the business or profess
 siional men sleep in their offices they
 are not enumerated there. After the
 records are corrected. should this be
 necessary and the work in the county
 is comple ted I will fc, ward them to
 Washington and the population will be
 announced by the department there. In
 my opinion Birmingham won't have any
 reason to kick on the taking of the
 census for it has been most complete
 and accurate"
 The Civic association committee is keeping on the job and approximately 200 names were phoned in yesterday stating they had not been enumerated These lists are forwarded to MT. Cruik- shank and will be checked with the re- ports of the enumera tors in their re- spectlve districts.
 1 several complaints have been made that when the enumerators found no one at home they left one or two slips to be filled out and sent in to the su- pervisor but failed to leave enough for the enumeration of the whole family Persons thus omitted will be enumer ated. as special enumerators will be sent to their homes to get them The Boy Scouts went to work yester-
 day afternoon on special blocks checn- ing the work, and it is expected that in
 this way any person missed by the enumerators will be listed. The scouts
 are working in cooperation with the
 Civic Association. and any one who has
 not been enumerated is requested to
 call Main 1413.

DAIRYMEN TO FIGHT
 NEW MILK ORDINANCE
Declare Restrictions Prescribed By Department Unreasonable-Dowl-
 ing Assured Ordinance Valid

The dairymen of Jefferson county are preparing to make a vigorous as- sauit on the new milk ordinance recon mended by the health department and effective February 1S
 It is reported that the first step in a legal attack on Dr. Dowlings regula- tions will be the seeking of an injunc- ton in the circuit court to be followed by an appeal to higher courts where an effort will be made to have the ordinance declared invalid
 The health department has been as- sured by the city attorney that the ordinance will hold and Dr. Bowling doesn't anticipate any legal setbacks The dairymen contend that the restric- tions imposed are impractical and un- reasonable.
 At any rate it is considered probable that the health department and the dairymen will be locked in another con troyersy soon.

PRESENT CLAIMS
 OF DAUPHIN ISLAND
 FOR LOWER HARBOR
U. M. Dewberry Points Out to State Harbor Board the Advantages Possessed By Island for
 Port Facilities

Mobile. January 15.-(Special.l- l---In presenting Dauphin Island to the state harbor board at its meeting in Mobile on January 1s J. M Dewberry, vice president of Dauphin Island Railway and Harbor company, presented it as the Lower harbor of the port of Mo bile. calling attention to the following
 CD That the dock and narbor devel- opment will comprise $50 acres of land and six miles of water front.
 @ That it is iandlocked and so near the deep water that the comparative cost of dredging will be small both as to time and expenditure.
 (3) Its safety from wind and tide, stating that at no time in it's history has high water reached the elevation of the proposed docks. and that the wind damage is negligible.
 t4D That it is proposed to make the harbor appreciably deeper than any other harbor on the gulf coast. enabling II to accommodate the largest ships, both commercial vessels and warships.
 ta) Its strategic location as great central ccaling station. accessible both by railroad and water Transportation, adding that in the long run the most economical barges are of the mode type, seaworthy and capable of trans porting coal with safety to the island also adding that the freight rates to and from Daupbin Island are the same as the Mobile rates.
 fs) That on account of its depth oi water and convenient location as a cen. tral coaling statioptit will become moi oply principal port for certain vessels and products, but great auxiliary pori for other vessels from the various other gulf ports.
 Mir. Dewbcrry also stated that stor. age bin and coaling equipment at Mo bile are necessary. for much of the Mo. bile traffic. but that the city of Mobile is too far removed from the trad, routes of the gulf to be of advantags to shins from ofher norris dasirinsr coal

CLOSE CENSUS BUT
 WILL CONTINUE ID ! GET MISSED NAMES
Cruikshank Says Some Who Reported They Had Been Missed Were Enumer-
 ated First Day

The taking of the federal census for 1920 was officially closed last night at 12 o'clock, although the work in Birming- ham will be continued until the end of the week in some of the districts. The enumerators will be busy covering the ragged edges and getting those per sons who were missed, either through fault of the enumera- tors or the persons themselves, and by tomorrow night it is ex- pected that every man, woman and child, both white and col ored, will have been listed in the census.
 "rhe majority of. the tS7 enumerators have completed their work, according to schedule said Mir. Cruikshank "al- though there are still a few ragged edges to be cleaned up and this will all be completed today and tomorrow. We will not only account for every person in Birmingham, but every house and vacant lot, and I can't see how anyone can be missed However, if man, woman or child in the city is not emu merated, the books will be in my office for month and the name can be in- serted.
 Several men whose names appeared in an afternoon paper as not having been enumerated were in error, as the records in our office show In fact, four of them were taken by the emu merators on the first day the work started, and when the enumerator saw their names in the paper she was very angry and called them rand told them that they had been enumerated. She stated that they said they did not mean that they had not been enumerated, but that an enumerator had not been to their offices.
