Good Service


 When Birmingham offers to out of-town visitors such service as I re- cently received in Cincinnati, New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Pitts burg from the Old Colony Club. il will be long stride in the way of progress and will be a splendid means of advertising our city said k. C. Foster, secretary of the Stockham Pipe and Fittings Company, who has just returned from d business tour of the north and east
 In those large commercial and in- dustrial centers which I visited and where my time was necessarily linn ited, had no bother in securing tick cts and transportation accommoda- tions. for placed my nee1s in the hands of Old Colony Club secretaries and managers, and these details were attended to without further thought on my part. I was enabled to attend my business and personal affairs was no waiting1n the crowds at ticket windows and no uncertainty as to what would get. Also I had the ac- comm oda tions of the clubrooms far the holding of business conferences. These were but a few of the many favors I received at the hands of the Old Colony Club, however.
 Birmingham must certainly have an Old Colony Club and the sooner the better. Surely our visitors will leave we take care of them so efficiently, thereby creating in them a deslre to return"

Battlefield Vandals
 Encouraged by Tourists

\ MOTHER story of vandalism is A told in dispatch from Paris. Souvenir hunters are said to have vio- Ixted the Trench of the Bayonets, near Verdun, where a mine explosion buried company of French infantry skaNding in a trench. The tips of bayonets protruding from the earth commemorated this tragedy.
 ! It is proposed to make France s most glorious tomb" national mon- ument. But nothing is sacred to bat tlefield ghouls, who dug a new trench by the spot and took pieces of cloth ing and accoutrements from the skele- tons of French heroes. If they were nothing more than souvenir hunters their conduct would have been shock ing enough, but these vandals are the mercenary kind. It is said they sold their loot at high prices to Verdur tourists.
 Public buildings, monuments, tombs and relics cherished for centuries have been defaced and defiled by that curious breed, the souvenir hunters A battlefield means. nothing to them Its heroic significance, blended with the loftiest national sentiment, is en- tiely lost on such minds.
 Some of the tourists who buy wal aDnvenirs are doubtless Americans

Fighting old H. c. l..

Few people who do not actually
 visit the new city market realize tine tremendous amount of business that is being done there every morning be- fore stores are open," said Anderson Smith. The number of housewives who visit the place every morning Is striking and thoroughly illustrates the truth of an assertion by some women in the. press recently that women are fighting the high cost of living now more than ever before. I predict that this market is destined to rise over and useful asset to the community"

 The riff-raff seems to oe elimi- hated and really fine women are inter- ested in voting. I believe the country will enjoy renewed prosperity under the new, methods. I have al- ways depended upon the women and believe in them and I am for them first, last and always. If they don t run away with things. which I have never heard of them doing.

KELLEY HAS new
MATCHMAKER
Latest Devices Dips, Cuts,
Count Packs and Wrap
Sticks
VENEER LUMBER
MADE USE OF

Harry Kelley. 1906 Jefferson street
has obtained United States and For
-eign patents on match making ma
chinery which he asserts Will rcvoiu-
tionize thematch making business.
This Invention makes 10 possible to
make square or round stick matchos
from veneer lumber. The veneer
lumber IS fed and separated in an
improved feed trough TO rcciprocating
outer mead where sticks are cut and
placed in improved carrier
BY perfecting this invention Mr..
Kelley has done what the match cx-
Gerts OF the country have always con-
Tended could not be done, that is 10
separate a series Of strips OF veneer
lumber side by side on edge. This
Nr. Kelley says he has done without
any mechanical movement whatever.
The device is simplicity In itself and
gan be built al low cost and applied
70 any match making machine on the
market today.
The present round stick match is
csit from a solid block Of special grade
Of soft white pine and is very eXpcn-
siNe and scarce Considerable lose n
lymher also is experienced with This
method.
The square stick match is made
from veneer lumber such as maple,
hsss and Russian aspen or OF any soft
grade wood. In the making 10 is nee
essary by present methods Go handle
these sticks 3 or 10 times before the
hrad Is applied and matches are de-
liVered at the discharge head ready
TO be boxed for the market
IN perfectng this invention Mr.
D.. .la.. a. d.
designed machines now In use. and
reduced labor. time and floor space
ncN required. and from recent demon
straii0ns has proved that his inven-
ton can put a better grade Of
matches on the market 20 per cent
cheaper than at present
The parlOr match of today is claim
ed by an 90 be nOn-pOisOnOus and by
law the sticks must be impregnateC
with a solution 10 prevent afterglOW
To do this the machines are OF enOr
nous size as 10 requires considerable
iinfs 90 dry sticks and heads 20 pre-
vent sticking together.
Along these lines Mr. kellcyhas an
other invention that will enable ih'
manufacturer 10 put matches In boxes
for shipping seven minutes aiier ihl
stick is cut as compar'd with 30 {,
n minutes with the present methods
Mr.. Kelley is now working on a sub
stiiuie for wood for making mattel
stisks and from recent experiment
and demonstrations he has the desired
material
Mr.. Kelley also has a patent on
filling machine, which will put tn
matches IN the box and count them
also a wrapping machine that vii
WRAP a dozen boxes in package or al
output OF so packages OF 70 boxe
