EFFICIENCY SCHOOL AT CHANCERY COURT Series of Meetings Arranged to Discuss Rules of Practice
 and Court Procedure

Efficiency is the slogan of the chancery division of the circuit court. With this idea in view, Hunter Armstrong, regis ter ir chahcery, is arranging series of
 meetings to be held for his office force.
 Rules of practice in this branch of the court will be discussed at these meet ings. as well as ways and means of giv-
 ing better and more efficient service to attorneys and the public generally. Various judges and some of the most prominent attorneys of the city will make talks to the force on efficiency, and show how they may give better service.
 The first meeting will be held Wednes- day evening at s o'clock in the chancery court. Judge Hugh A. Locke will be the speaker There will be ten meetings in
 the series and plans are being made to hold one each week. This idea of hearing
 judges and lawyers on this subject is ex- pected to be of inavaluable service to the office force, according to MT. Armstrong, and will enable this branch of the court to transact it's largely growing business rapidly and with efficiency.
 During the month of August more than
 200 cases were filed in the chancery court This record is the best in history. and Mir Armstrong stated yesterday that he { was expecting the heaviest litigation 1T | this court during the fall and winter since the organization of this court.
 l Dockets for the term have been turned over to the printers and will be read! | for distribution within the next few days 1 Court in this division will open on Octo | Der Il, and there are ,5G0 cases set ui ! until January 15. This is the larges l number of cases ever set for so short period it is stated

BEST IN PICTURES
Reproduction of Work of Great Artists In Children's Department
 of Library

time educate their sense of color. pictures in children's books at the public library are reproductions of the work of great artists
 This is pointed out by Miss Margaret Duncan, In charge of the. children's part of the public library and supervisor of the childrens work in all branches. Miss Duncan has recently come to Birming- ham to take charge of the department She comes from the Jacksonville public library.
 Every effort is made to give the chil- dren the best in pictures. Pictures carry more lasting impressions than the story, and modern librarians use more care in selecting books which contain the best illustrations, particularly for children.

BAPTIST HOSPITAL
 SEEMS ASSURED
Local Churches Agree to Un- derWrite Amount Needed
 to Secure Site

l. Steps looking toward bringing the Bap-
 tist hospital to Birmingham were taken
 at practically every Baptist Church in
 the district at services yesterday. which
 was known as Hospital Sunday
 With few exceptions. the churches
 agreed to underwrite their share of any
 sum necessary to purchase a site. Mem
 bers of the First Baptist Church and the
 Southside Baptist Church went further.
 At the Southside Baptist Church, pr.
 J. E. billiard told the members of the
 advantage of bringing the hospital here.
 He explained what it would mean to
 Birmingham and what benefits the hospi-
 tai would derive from being in Br- mingham.
 At the conclusion of his talk it was suggested that the Southside Baptist Church pledge to underwrite one-fiftn of any amount neceesary to bring the | hospital to Birmingham. This matter was put to vote of the congregation and was overwhelmingly carried 1 At the First Baptist Church. Dr. J. R l Hobbs, being chairman of the location commission which will decide where the | hospital shall go, was unapie to suggest ! any course on account of his position 1 Individual members made subscriptions l to the fund to bring the hospital here and Dr. Hobbs, speaking for his con gregation, said they would do their part | in any plan decided by the executive /, committee.
 ! Several other churches agreed to be governed by the course of the executive 1 committee.
 1 As the time for the location .comnis- sion grows short, it is understood that ] keen rivalry is being developed between
 number of cities desiring the hospital Selma in particular has submitted a l proposition in which they promise te
 match dollar for dollar any fund which !, the Baptsts of the state will spend on l the hospital in their city.
 1 It is believed that Birmingham will :! have to put up sum of money to ga
 with that of the Baptists if she is to secure the hospital.

When interest was first created toward the establishment of a market, Mir. Tharpe was struck with the advantages of the space between the two viaducts. A number of people to whom MT. TharDe has spoken of the idea are pleased
 Mir Tharpe's plan is to secure the con- cession from the railroads to erect con- crete posts between the tracks to support the flooring. On this space of more than a city block stalls can be erected to ac- commodate not only the trucksters, but the butchers, bakers and dealers in all kinds of fresh foods. This will give tha housewives the advantage of buving air her fresh foods at one time
 Revenue from the rent of these sstails will be enough to, pay for the upkeep of the market and to create a sinking fund to care for interest on bonds and retire the bonds, according to Hr. Tharpe In this way, the market can pay for itself in ten years, and charges can then be min mixed to merely cover expenses.
 The market inspector believes the con- cession can easily be secured from the railroads, as the market will cover the tracks and assist in keeping them from the weather. Even if difficulty was met with in this line, the city has the power to condemn the property for the purpose. This place is the most centrally located spot available for this purpose. Practi-

TELEPHONE PLANTS
 FACING A CRISIS Manager Woodruff Speaks on General Condition of the
 Telephone Industry

The telephone industry in the south- eastern states is facing crisis, accord- ing to F. L. Woodruff, district manager of the Southern Bell Telephone Company for the southeastern district.
 The only way by which the crisis can be averted is by increased revenue for the company, he said. For that reason. the company has petitioned the Alabama public service commission for raise in rates The case will be heard October ,.
 There are three classes of people inter- ested in the affairs of tn telephone com panles, MT. Woodruff explained. These
 are the owners of the stock, the employees and the buyers of service. The first two classes are acquainted with the conditions the company has to face. The other class, the buyers of service, do not realize what the company has before it. and an educa- tional campaign is being carried on by the company.
 Telephone service all over the country l has depreciated since the close of tha
 war, Mir. Woodruff declared. This was | the result of lack of material and n- creased cost of service. But during the past few years Brminghams service mas held up better than any other city in the southeast
 l The present confusion and poor seryice l is due to unusual weather conditions which have not been equaled in the his- tory of the company, and the fact that 1 change of offices is being made. They
 are only temporary, Mir. Woodruff said.
 and the usual service would soon be re- sumed.
 1 The real problem before the company the speaker said, was the increased oe- mpnd for service on the part of people who before the war were unable to have
 a telephone How to supply service to this class of people is chief concern or | tbe cnmpauy he said.
