MERCHANTS SEEK ID
 REMOVE PARASITE
Chairman Randall Gives Views on Parasitic Mem-
 bers of Community

We are working on the problem of parasitic merchants" said Ira F. Ran dall, chairman of the Jefferson county division, Retail Merchants Association of Alabama, Inc, and hope to be able to show them the error of their ways
 Members of the board of control of the Jefferson county division at our re- cent meeting offered various definitions of parasitic merchant, all tending to show that this class of merchant takes from the people of the community his profits. but hasn't sufficient interest in them to take any part in community af- iairs. In other words, all the parasite is here for is to make money, and, l am reliably informed that many of them do not even carry checking accounts Tn local banks
 This class of merchant has no in vestment in the community other than his stock of goods. He owns no real estate in the community; he pays his li- cense taxes because he is forced to do so. He refuses to give his support to any enterprise of civic nature. He is. in effect, a community leech, sapping from the community all that he can, and giving absolutely nothing in return.
 "Included is that class of merchant who comes into the city and opens up sample room, selling to a selected list of customers at prices considerably higher than, are asked by local stores.
 The public should be informed of the parasites among the mercantile estab- ishments of the community, and douot- less means of informing the people will be found. The average citizen does nos want to trade with concern that has no interest in him other than the profit which might accrue as result of his Birmingham concerns, and those concerns which have invest ments here and take part in the com munity life, are entitled to first consid- eration at the hands of Birmingham peo- pie. and we are quite sure that the Deo- pie will accord them that consideration when they learn who the parasites are"

| ICATERPILLARS ARE DAMAGING TREES IN
 SECTIONS OF CITY
Park Superintendent Williamson h.
 vestigating Condition and Will Suggest Remedy

Measures may be taken by the city to kill the tent caterpillars that are |seriously injuring the shade trees in many sections of the city.
 Due to the fact that many com plants have been received Commis- sioner J. Ellis Brown has appointed U. P. Williamson, park superinte ndent, to investigate the ravages of the cater pillars and find a chemical ompound that will kill them.
 Commissioner Brown states that when the proper compound has been found it is possible that the city will put on several corps of men to spray the trees in the residential sections. It is Commissioner Browns purpose to lat least instruct the people what pre- ventive measure to take, even if the city does not undertake the wholesale spraying of all the trees.
 MT. Williamson. who is looking into the matter has been superintendent of parks for over twenty years and in that capacity he has had much experi ence in caring for the trees in the parks. He is certain that the right kind of spray can be found that will exterminate the insects that gre playing havoc with the trees in many parts of the city.
 According to reports. the caterpil- lars weave a white, sticky web around the leaves of the trees. This causes the leaves to gradually wither and fall If the ravages are kept up the tree finally dies.
 MT. Williamson will make his report to Commissioner Brown by Tuesday.

 At the Front with Polish Army, Au gust 14.-The bolsheviki are striking to reach the Vistula river, apparently to carry out their encircling move ment upon Warsaw from the south. Their objective is Lemberg, where there has been heavy fighting, for va : rious points of vantage and Villages. Here ground has changed hands re- peatedly in the last few weeks
 Brody, just northeast of I.emberg, has changed hands time and again. At last accounts the bolsheviki were striving for Brody after having been busted by the Poles. At the nearest point the bolsheviki are about thirty miles from Lemberg, in a rough coun- try. It is reported that General Budenny. the bolshevik cavalry com mander, brought up several divisions of fresh cavalry recently to partici : pate in the Lemberg drive and tn . operations in the region of Lubln. The bolsheviki are also reported to be re- inforcing northeast of the Vieprz river. chiefly with infantry
 The bOlsheviki threw over seven ty-scven shells at intervals during
 the day from what observers be-
 heved to be a German gun.
 Machine guns rattled and occasional ly there was rifle fire.
 To the northwest nearer Warsaw, the bolsheviki are using shells which sound like laos. There is more artillery activity in the warsaw sector than in any other part of the line. owing 60 the fact that the reds have been halt ed before the city and apparently are bringing up several big guns.

 One of the strong arguments for Birmingham as the site of this hos pital, which will be erected at an mi tial cost of $200,000, is that othef states have chosen the largest cities for the sites of their hospitals.

SHOP MEETINGS ARE
 PROVING POPULAR
Religious Work Committee of Y. M. c. A. Plan
 Greater Activities

Over 900 workmen of ten industrial holding shop meetings once a week under the auspices of the religious and industrial work departments of the Young Mems Christian Association. By September the religious work commit tee expects to have fifty more shops in which to conduct these meetings.
 The programme which is being mapped out by the workers of the de- partment will cover a very extensive field, being wider in scope than ever before. It is hoped that by hard work every class of layman will be reached. The Following men compose the re- llgioHs work committee: F. A. McEl- roy, chairman; Marsh Acker, secretary: w. Fl. Maxim, Fulton B. Clark, H. s. Foster, Dr. R. L. Huston, R. M. Mc- Gill, O. $. Smith J. E. Ramsey, Harry Denman, W. J. Wisce, and R. C. Foster.
 Alternate meetings are of reli- gious nature and the two other meet lngs of the month are semi reliigous, with discussion of questions on health civic, educational, and political sub Jects. During the last fifteen minutes or the noon hour is the time allotte for these meetings and they are always well attended. The speakers who have been chosen are: pr. Frank Willis Barnett whose message is civic; w. H. Marbry, who speaks on The Source of Happiness;' Crawford Johnson whose subject is The Right Way Is the Only Way in Business;" Rev. Roy Hershey, Rev J. M Broadly and Dr. J. C. Dickinson. The physicians who speak health and sanitation are DTS. Gilbert Douglass, Robert Nelson and A. G. Robinson.
 The ton committee working with the religious committee is per haps considered one of the most un- usual phases of the entire system. Their work is to keep up with men absent from their jobs to find out if they need medical attention. They also visit hos pitals. especially charitable institu- tions, and they even work with indi- vidual cases.
 Charles M. Oliver religious work di- rector, says that the speakers at the various plants always assume a neu- tral stand on questions between em- ploye and employer, and that is the reason that a cordial welcome Is given both from the management and the men.
