.KI[BY ENDORSES SALVATION ARMY Writes Letter to American Legion Approving the Work of the
  Workers. l.A.

Governor Thomas E. Kilby, governor of Ala abama, has written strong letter of endorsement of the work of the Sal vation Army to Thomas M. owen, Jr.. acting adjutant of the American Legion in Alabama and member of the exe- cutive committee of the Salvation Army in the Montgomery zone. The letter fol- lows:
 "One of the noticeable developments of the recent world war Is a greater Sal vation Army. For some reason or other it has received universal praise and ap- proval, perhaps because of the spirit of it's motto "A man may be down but he is never out". An army of men and wo- men whose lives are devoted to the busi- nesss of seeing that the man, the boy, the woman and the girl, though down, are not knocked out, deserves and will receive the admiration, approval and sup port of all good people.
 I give to it my hearty indorsement without reservation. Respectfully,
 THOMAS F.. KILBY."
 The Salvation Army's second home service fund appeal is before the people of Alabama this week and next, and a fine response is already being made in the various counties, in spite of the elec- ton interruption. Every citizen of the state is interested in the results of the appeal.

RACING TORRENT ON DOWNTOWN STREETS AS RESULT OF STORM
Storm Sewers Inadequate to Carry Off Water and Wood Pavement Badly
 Damaged

Converting downtown streets into min iature rivers, which rose above curb stones, covered the sidewalks, and ill some sections flooded stores, an un- usually heavy thunderstorm struck Bir- mingham early last night. At Third ave nue and Nineteenth street there was a raging torrent, which tore up portion of the wood block paving and completely covered the sidewalk at the Woodwork corner. On the corner of Second avenue and Twentieth and in other places on Sec ond avenue to Nineteenth street the wood block paving was washed out
 City prisoners were sent to the scene to clean away the blocks and put the streets into safe condition for traffic. storm sewers in the downtown sections at several places proved inadequate to care for the rush of water and it ross rapidly over the curbs.
 At the Hillman hotel the water for a time threatened to flood the lobby. It rose and flowed completely across the sidewalk and for a time got up to the revolving doors at the entrance of the lobby However, the heaviest part of the downpour was over in short time, and the water receded.
 The principal damage to the streets
  the wood~ blocks of the paving The streets at the damaged points bulged, and as the pressure of water under the blocks became greater, they gave away. The blocks were thrown eight or ten feet into the air at and one or places
 In a number of other portions of the city water rose over the sidewalks. Base ments in several sections were flooded.
 Prospective theatregoers were drowned
 IT, fg.,. fft,1a faI phone service was nteffered with by the heavy downpour and the electrical display, which accompanied 1t. The heavy rain lasted for about an hour and the electrical display for slightly longer period
 Something more than an inch of rain fell in slightly over one hour, according to the records at the United States Weather observatory. F. C. Horton, weather observer. stated that the down. pour was very heavy and that a rainfaii of over an inch in slightly more than an hour is unusual The velocity of the wind was recorded as from 20 to 27 miles an hour during the height of the storm. However, in the downtown sections the wind apparently reached a greater ve- locity.
 No damage from the wind or lightning was reported. It is stated that there will probably be some damage from water in addition to the damage wrought to the streets in the downtown section. At AVondale the rainfall was extremely heavy Spring street being entirely flooded, and the rush of the water washed away the chert surface of the street Al the park a large tree was struck by lightning and completely shattered. Tie | Tidewater car was delayed nearly two hours.
 At Ensley and Wylam the car tracks were flooded in the low lying sections and several cars ran off the track owing to the dirt that was washed down bS | the storm.
