Candidates Day" as suggested by an editorial in The Age Herald yes terday has met with much approval in Birmingham,
 The idea of having each of the five aspirants for the place of "short-term senator in Birmingham cn a given day 10 present their claims in Capitol park has been indorsed by many of the prominent citizens.
 In regard to the proposition, J. Ellis Brown. commissioner of parks. says
 q read with great deal of interesl the editorial in The AgeHerald sug- gesting that we have a candidates day in Birmingham and that all the can didates for the short term senatorshir come to Birmingham and speak on Wednesday, May }, at Capitol park.
 We have a beautiful amphitheatre there with a speakers stand and 3 bandstand which we are very glad to ender to the candidates to speak from on that date. free of charge It has ! seating capacity of about 5000 and 1t least 10000 or l2,000 could hear the speakers.
 The suggestion of The Age Herald appears to me to be an excellent one, IS I am sure that the people of the county would be pleased to hear all the candidates for this important of flee speak from the same platform. II also gives the candidates an oppor- tunity to see and address more people than they could in any other place in the county
 INDORSE PLAN
 Other prominent men of the city in- lorse the proposed plan,
 Joseph H. Loveman: "T think it is a great opportunity to have the candi- lates discuss the questions in issue It is very good idea, and I would like to see it carried through"
 Dr. NJ s. Barnwell. Personally I am very much in favor of the plan and hope it will be carried out"
 F. B. Irwin: T think that the public would like to be enlightened on the questions involved in the short term senator race. am heartily in favor of the plan to hear them all from the same platform
 Sol Caheen: That's very good plan and the men who had that idea has a big brain. I am very much 1T favor of holding candidates day 1T Birmingham when all of the senatoria candidates can be heard on all of the issues of the campaign. l believe that such an affair would be worth while from every point of view"
 Felix M. Drennen: '"It would be 2 rapital idea to hold candidates day Such a joint debate between the short term candidates would undoubtedly draw a record crowd to Birmingham It would give everybody an oppor- tunity to hear them and would prove q novel wind-up for the campaign"
 W. J. Adams: 'If the candidates vii participate and will enter into thf spirit of the plan as suggested it cer tainly has great possibilities. Sucf an occasion could be made a gala oc, casion and would prove highly en joyable affair. There Is no doubt tha' people from all the surrounding ter. ritory would come to Birmingham tc hear the five short term candidates discuss the issues of the day.
 Sam Blach: Such an event coulf not help drawing a great crowd to Bir mingham. I believe the suggestion i good one and l would like to see sucl

 RATHER BATTLING.
 Before being able to collect the claim Attorney Pulley had been told that the Illinois Automobile Insurance Exchange s.is complying with the laws of this and other states and is amply responsible for any just contracts entered into at the Exchange"
 Since he had proved his contract just one. and since it seemed to be only fear of further suits that persuaded the reciprocal to pay up" claim 1t had once refused to recognize and since the exchange repre- sentative was only too glad to come to East St. Louis to settle, Attorney Pulley is soms- what mystified over the meaning of the late ter rart of the foregoing paragraph.
 If the Exchange had stood pat Mir. Zul- ley could have collected his claim just as easily by suing the remaining three or four hundred policy holders. That's the beauty of recprocal.-From American Agency Bulletin, 4-l6-20.

RED GROSS COUNTS 154 RUINED HOMES
 IN STORMS PATH
Will Donate $500 to Each Family as Nucleus for New Dwelling-Also to
 Supply Accessories

Complete surveys of Red Cross workers in storm-dam- aged areas reveal the fact that 154 houses were destroyed, leaving many hundreds of peo- pie homeless.
 In every case where the house was swept away. the workers state that the outbuildings were either demoi- ished or damaged beyond repair. Con- sidering that practically half of these dwellings had been added to and en- iarged and a number of the latest type of barns constructed by the farmers in the wave of prosperity, the damage is enormous.
 To help in reconstructing the houses and barns, the relief committee plans to donate $500 to each family to begin the construction of new home. The rest is left to them.
 FENCES GONE
 Damage to fencing is unestimated. II was impossible to get even an idea as to the extent to which fencing was down, because of the fact that in many cases the fences extend into swamps md other practically impossible places
 The tabulation of the amount of damage was done in a very systematic way, even pots and pans which were carried away being noted. Cases where individuals needed no help and where local aid was sufficient were deducted from the total so that the finance com mittee had at it's disposal exact figures to estimate the amount needed for the relief work.
 With such accurate knowledge. the finance committee decided that $75, ,000 would be needed at a meeting at the Birmingham Trust building yesterday immediate steps were taken by the governor to distribute the quota fol each county on the basis of tax assess ment
 Seven counties which suffered most from the storms will be exempt from contributing to this fund.
 THE WORK
 As soon as the desired amount is raised, the relief work will proceed along seven lines, rebuilding homes, re- rlacing farm implements, furnishing seed. furnishing household goods, fur nishing food for a period of five months. rebuilding fences and supply ing clothing. The Red Cross has un- dertaken the last named task and will see that all necessary clothes are fur nished.
 Voluntary donations to the Red Cross relief fund have totaled S756. These donations have been sent in from all parts of the state and will be used to carry on the part of the work which the Red Cross has undertaken.

WHAT WAS DONE

He told or the achieVementS or a committee raised several months ago, under the auspices of the mems Com munity Council, to smooth out racial troubles Several conferences have been held between this committee and committee of representative negroes complaints heard and matters adjusted to the satisfaction of all parties.
 The Porter residence on Eighth ave- nue. between Eighteenth and Nine tenth streets, recently purchased by the council as a home for working girls, the committee reported, would be turned over to them by October l. Two thirds of the purchase price has been paid and the only thing in the way of immediate possession is lease that does not terminate until October l. The occupants of the house. however, agree to surrender 1t soner if they can find a place to move into The purchase of this home resulted from the activities of the Big Sister Movement. which was originated by the council.
 After making the partial payment on the home the treasurer reported the council has considerable sum of money in bank, but they are not through begging for more money. she stated, as the work is permanent and the expenses will go on.
 At the business session following the luncheon these officers for the next year were elected.
 Mrs. Chapel Cory, chairman; Mrs S. L. Ledbetter first vice chairman; Mrn H. E. Pearce, second vice chair man: Mrs Clarence Going, recording secretary; Miss Margaret Anesly. cor responding secretary; Mrs Sydney Hart, treasurer. and Miss Ina Shepherd, auditor.

WORK OF WOMEN

These committees cooperate with the school authorities in seeing that children of school age attend school at least the minimum number of days, investigate sanitation, health and the general surrounds.
 Where conditions require 1t physi- clans are called in and in some in- stances trained nurses employed.
 Mrs She'll, who was chairman of the woman's committee of the Council of Defense, served as chairman of the Community Council during it's first year. and through her energetic and intelligent direction and the hearty cooperation of the committee chair men and the membership generally a great deal of good has been accom- pllshed. and the progress made in It's first year is an indication of what may be accomplished in the future.
 There were over fifty members of the council at the luncheon, including five or six men, who had been special ly invited because of their connection with similar organizations or their in- terest in the work undertaken by the council.
 Judge William E. Fort, chairman of the mems Community Council, made very interesting talk on community work and the possibilities of bettering conditions through this work. He de- clared 1t to be the duty of all citizens to interest themselves in the people of the community In order that proper in fluences may be thrown around them; that health and sanitations may be improved; that illiteracy may be stamped out and American ideals in- stilled into the people
