Sees It Coming

Birmingham is one of the best cities of the south." said T. B. Ford of New Orleans, sales manager for the Dixie Refining Company, and if I could have my choice as to the city in which I would like to live I would choose Birmingham. During my stay here I have visited Ensley and Bessemer and think that considering the number of industries here it is very clean. On the other hand, your streets are kept so much cleaner than the streets in New Orleans and feel sure that with in the next few years this Alabama city will outstrip every other south. ern city. for nature has been more than kind and has given 1t so many natural resources. This. together with the CO., operation of the people is sure to make this real metropolis"

Let Us Give Honor
 Where Honor Is Due

1l7OW soon we forget! The body 4 0 of an American soldier was brought home to Birmingham for burial. He marched away through cheering crowds and died nobly in the service of his country. When he came back in government coffin, only one person received his body. Four women, one male relative, the pallbearers, who had to be pressed into service, and the undertaken con stituted the funeral cortege of a hero.
 The Rev. Frank Harrington, who preached the funeral sermon for Err nest Holden, aptly chose as his sub ject, "The Fallen Star" "Where was the American Legion," he asks, made up of comrades of the dead boy? Where were the Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A., and the many ether war work organizations They were mot represented"
 And he might have asked, "Where were tenth or hundredth of the people who once thought nothing was too good for a soldier?" This un. fortunate boy seems to have had few relatives interested in his fate and no friends to do him honor or mourn his end.
 From time to time the bodies o1 other soldiers will be returned to Bir. mingham. A repetition of the pa thetic funeral of Ernest Holden vii show that we have indeed forgotten

District Reaps Benefit
 of Its Industrial Stability


 57THE Birmingham district has be- 0 gun to profit by a country wide reputation for stability of citi- zenship transplanted into regularity and non-interruption of industries.
 This was inevitable. Beginning with the steel strike of last fall the district has SO far weathered every form of industrial difficulty that upset other sections as not to halt basic industries by as much as twenty hours. Built on the solid foundation of nearness of raw materials and the American charac- ter of it's one-tongued people, its has defied every oppressive element. Pittsburg itself has been forced to purchase Birmingham iron in lots of five hundred to one thousand tons. Philadelphia has bought iron here. These far eastern points have paid the base price of SAP and the $6 and $6.50 freight in addition in order to secure the metal. Cincinnati territory has taken tens

Substantial Advance
 to Express Trainmen


 1C1 IGHTY thousand men employed @ by the American Railway Ex- press Company, whose wages were not provided for by the recent six hundred million dollar railway wage award, have been granted thirty million-dollar annual increase
 The United States railway board which has had the question under consideration for some time, reached it's conclusion without dissenting vote. This action is retroactive and dates back to May 1.
 The award amounts to thirty dol lars a month for each man. This will help materially to meet the high cost of living, and no fair-mindec person will grudge a dollar of the increase.
 Presidents of the express unions who were present when the award was announced, were noncommittal The amount of the advance wa. slightly above that granted the rail road men, and under the circum stances it is not reasonable to Il inl there will be any disposition to show dissatisfaction, although more hat been asked for. v | The wide distribution of wag' money will give a distinct stimulus to business. The workers will be en abled to maintain higher standar' of living, which will mean large sums spent with the merchants. While the industrial situation i not all that could be desired, it is i'm proving. The wage advances to em ployes of the railroads and expres companies are surely contributing t make economic conditions better. l z * E

On Saturday, October 80, the Uni.
versity of Kentucky "Wildcats'
will invade Dudley Field, den Of the
Vanderbilt University eco m m
dores" and meet their worthy South
ern neighbors in the annual strug-
gle for football honors.
Football "dope" in regard to the
Wildcats and the Commodores is in
favor of neither eleven. The Ten
nessee aggregation, laboring under
the heavier schedule, has won only
one of its games and has lost the
other two. Kentucky walked away
with the bacon when two of her OPP
ponents entered her own backyard,
lost the day when she visited Miami,
and tied with her old rival last week.
The results of the present season
for the Commodores have been: Uni
versity of Tennessee 0, Vanderbilt
20; Georgia Tech A, Vanderbilt 0;
Auburn Sc, Vanderbilt 6. The Wild
cat tally reads: Southwestern Pres
byterian University 0, Kentucky 81;
Maryville College 0, Kentucky 81;
Miami University IA, Kentucky 0;
Sewanee 6, Kentucky 6.
Followers of football fortunes will
remember that the McGuginites from
Nashville last year battled to a
scoreless tie with the Junean-less
Wildcats on Stoll Field. Now the
question is: What will the rejuneated
Wildcats under the guidance of an
jun Bill Juneau do in Nashville Sat-
urday.
just what the Auburn whirlwind
left in the way of physical wrecks
in the Commodore camp is not
known, whether the Vandy boys
have entirely recovered from the eff
fects of the Tech walk-over. Thereon
will rest the prophecy as to the re-
suits of the Forthcoming battle be-
tween the leading institutions of the
sister states.
Kentucky is handicapped by a |
crippled backfield. Fuller, star half
back, was barely in condition for the |
Sewanee game, and Shanklin, the
other regular halfback, was suffer-
ing from injuries of so serious ma
ture that he did not even appear at
the Sewanee game in uniform, and
the big fullback who won
the admiration of all who saw him
plunge through the Tiger line last
Saturday for the touchdown that
tied the score, emerged from the pile
of humanity just back of the Sc
vance goal with a broken bone in
his foot, and will probably be out Of
the game for the remainder of the

Anglo-Jap Treaty
 Is Automatically
 Renewed For Year
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON. July 13.-The Anglo Japanese treaty will be automatically renewed for a period of one year, ac- cording to an announcement made in official circles this afternoon. Today was the last day on which notice of the abrogation or modification of the alliance could be made. The official explanation of the renewal is that the British government has not been able to communicate fully with the Cana dian and Australian governments or proposed alterations of the terms of the treaty.
 There had been no reply on the part of the British government to the note Of the Picking government issued sev- eral weeks ago, in which the Chinese government reiterated it's objections to some of the provisions of the Anglo Japanese treaty.

SERVICE STATION FIRE AT CHANDLER LOSS IS S30.0OO
Bill Brooks Establishment Is Destroyed - Owner Has Narrow Escape-Loss Is Total-Insurance $15, 900

Fire at Chandler which was discov- cred shortly before o'clock yesterday afternoon entirely destroyed the Bill Brooks service station and caused a loss estimated at $3O.000.
 So rapidly did the fire spread that MT. Brooks the proprietor was trapped in the building and was forced to break a window with his hands in order to escape. His arm and hand were badly cut by the glass. He was at tended by Dr. K M Gilbert.
 The fire started from ignited gaso- line. MT Brooks, who was alone in the building at the time, had spilled a two-quart can of gasoline on the ce- ment floor and was wiping it up with a silk blanket when the gas ignited from the friction of the silk. It spread rapidly over the floor and in few minutes had attacked the stock of tires, tubes and other equipment.
 City Attorney Arthur Price, Jack Brechler and Abe Lulxin were the first ones to reach the hose station and the
 hose soon was in action. Two streams of water soon were playing on the blaze, but the water made no appre- ciable effect or the fire owing to the
 nature of the combustibles, and the fire was so hot that the fighters were forced to keep at distance. Soon all effort toward saving the service sta i tion was abandoned and attention was turned toward wetting down the ad-
 joining buildings in order to prevent
 them catching fire.
 Lose Cash and Bonds
 In the large stock carried by Mir. Brooks were more than 200 tires and 300 tubes, and necessarily during the progress of the fire they could be heard popping. The fire spread so rapidly that Mir. Brooks was unable to secure
 $100 in cash which he had in trunk.
 He was able to save only the ledger
 of the books of his business. R. Hart, | assistant, manager of the service sta tion, lost all his personal belongings,
 along with four Liberty bonds.
 Mir. Brooks places his loss at $30 900,
 of which 5000 was on the building, the remainder being on the stock and 1 equipment. This loss is about one- half ! covered with insurance.
 1 The Brooks service station was one of the finest of it's kind in the Salr River valley and was credit to a town many times the size of Chandler. It had been constructed last winter and
 MT. Brooks has been operating it only
 q few months. He went to Chandler
 from Mesa where he had been engaged
 in similar business. MT. Brooks plans
 to rebuild at once.
