SCHOOL LIBRARY HAS
 LARGE CIRCULATION

With collection of only 100 books, the Cunningham School library reports a circulation of 5.So5 books for the past five months Relative to ths size of the collection, this is one of the largest cir culations ever reported in Birmingham On one day alone, 99 per cent of the books were loaned out.
 The practice of establishing branches of the Public Library in these small schools was begun because of the fact that some of thesei schools were so far from the library or any of it's branches as to make it impracticable for the stu dents to go so far for their books
 The small school department was formed to have charge of these branches ir the schools but on account of the scarcity of means at the disposal of this department, these deposit collections could seldom be made larger than from 70 to 100 books
 h order to give all the students a chance to read the books, one school is forced to limit the time for which the books cam be kept to three days

 "The fact is that most ivory head hunters do their hunting in disguise these days.
 They disguise themselves as agents tor pecan groves in Georgia and sell men land by picture in a circular who would not invest 10 cents in their own state unless they traced the title back to the old woman who swapped a cookie to an Indian for it.
 N"They disguise themselves as stock brokers with inside information and find good hunting among people who are afraid to trust their money in a local bank and keep it inside the works of a Seth Thomas clock which struck last when we were celebrating Lees surrender-

CARSE PRAISES
 CITY'S GROWTH
Says Conditions Better Here Now
 Than Ever

Conditions apparently are better in the Birmingham district now than they have been in twenty years, according to tYfe opinion expressed by Henry R. Carse. president of the Submarine Boat Cor poration and of the Birmingham Realty Company, who returned to New York last night. after a brief visit here.
 MT. Carse, who is regarded as one of the leading industrial men of the east. said he was more impressed than ever with the stability of conditions in this district, as reflected in new industrial operations, especially in Possum Valley.
 T have been visiting Birmingham reg said MT Carse, "and I am frank to say that at no time in the past have I found the outlook more promising in this d . trict. The most important fact Is that you have solid industrial foundation, and the general growth of the city IS surprising"
 Mir Carse said he was particularly im- pressed with the development of the Warrior river and the commercial and industrial benefits thta must accrue to the expansion of inland waterway trans portation. One feature of the district at some people overlook, he said, is the fact that Birmingham has the ad- vantage of superior pleasure facilities. such as boating, swimming, fishing. mo- toring, hunting and such pastimes
 The next time he comes to Birmingham, Mir. Carse said, he is likely to bring a motorboat along with him and launch it on the Warrior river.
 subsidiary of the Submarine Boat Corporation, the Elco Company, manI- fac.ures motor boats.
 | The principal thing that Birmingham needs, in his opinion, is to awaken to the fact that more production, less ex- travagance and more saving will be i'm perative before business conditions can get back to normal again.
