Fine Hospital

Frank B. Neely of Montgomery was in Birmingham not long ago and while here one of his doctor friends took him to see the new hospital of the Tennessee company
 Tt makes you, almost, feel like wanting to set sick just to see that place. travel over a large section of the south. and visit many infirm- aries and hospitals but that insti- tuition at Ensley is the finest of it's sort have ever laid eyes on.
 one thing struck me while I was there won't forget In a long time. There Is a perfectly appointed ward for negro babies, Gnd some of the beds were occupied. There was one negro baby, one of the blackest you ever saw, lying there in the snow white bed clothes. All you could see was the little tar black face in a great room where furniture, wainscoting. walls and everything else were white. Sure was some contrast
 'But to get back to tho hospital; I doubt if there is a finer institution of It's sort anywhere In this country
 Property Values Not Too High
 The residents of Birmingham have no room to kick on the rental and prices paid for property in this city" said c. L. Goldsmith of Atlanta. who spent several days in Birmingham last week Tn Atlanta and other cities where have been during the past few months I find that rent and the prices being paid for property is equal to if not larger than that of your city. On account of the congested conditions prevailing in every city in the United States now 1t is only natural that rentals and for that matter property in general should advance in price. Bir- mingham Is one of the most promising cities of the south and appears to have grown very much during the past few years but the property values are no higher here than other cities in my opinion"

1t is in the first. Chaplin's serious
face is seldom crossed by smile.
With perfect confidence he leaves
laughter to others-and well he may.
Marie Dressler, the famous wom-
an of the legitimate comedy stage,
suffers not whit by comparison.
She breaks into the story at the first
jump and is in the scent with Char
lie every minute. She kicks and is
kicked, falls and gets up or is labori-
ously picked up. Sober or unsober,
she is inimitable. Trouble follows in
her ample wake. If at any moment
there seems to be an insuficiency of
disturbance she beats a strategetic
retreat and takes fresh stran-
gle hold on everything and every
body and starts something new. 1t
is inexplicable that these boneless
but never spineless players live to
play another day.

is not killed bv the fall down the
snow-covered mountain side and

The picture is finely staged. The
interiors of the mansion wherein Til

bit of snow above the clouds makes
an impressive contrast with the sun

country.
"Tillie's Punctured Romance" is a
side-splitting comedy with million
laughs-and an appeal for every

Marine law, which has placed the Old

given as the main reason for this
retrenchment. 1t is reported that
japanese shipping interests are arous-
ed, and will petition their government

is a pretty healthy sign that the ma

a big thing for your Uncle Samuel

was passed,
1T is hardly probable that with a
Republican Congress on the job any
'amelioration Of the provisions Of the

law is fair and just to all nations and
reserves nothing II the United States

TELEPHONE OFFICIALS TELL
WHY SERVICE IS POOR

Commissioner Charles e. Hill, of the
Public Service Commission. Second De-
uartment, held hearing yesterday or
the complaint of r. J. Caldwell. cotton
and fabric merchant. of No. Is Park
Row, against the New York Telephone
ompany According to the complainant
he telephone service at his place OF
lsiness has deteriorated to such an ex-
mt as to impede the transa ctson of bust
,ess thereby threatening to cause him
rreparable loss.
Officials of the telephone company tes-
tilted that the company was doing its
utmost to improve the service, but be-
cause of the shortage Of equipment, lack
of competent operators, and heavy in
crease in the number of calls very little
has been accomplished. They admitted
that the service was poor, but declared
they could do no better in the circum-
stances.
II developed at the hearing that the
company is short about nine hundred
operators in Manhattan and the Bronx
alone; that telephone calls have increased
approximately one million calls day,
and that its operation staff is about fifty
five per cent juniors.
Decision was reserved pending the de-
cjsion of hundreds OF other complaints
which the commissioner has heard.

DRY ENFORCEMENT
ACT INTRODUCED
IN LEGISLATURE
Measure Fathered by the Anti
Saloon League Follows Pro-
visions of VOlStead Act.
ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD


ALBANY. n. Y, Monday--The dry
measure to carry out provisions OF the
federal prohibition amendment, and
hacked by the Anti-Saloon League. was
introduced in the Legislature tonight by
Senator George +. Thompson. of Niagara,
and Assemblyman John W. Slacer, Of Erie.
The bill in all important provisions is
identical with the yolstead act Of Con-
gress, with the exception that it creates
no department charged with prohibition
enforcement.
In a statement accompanying introduce
ton of the measure, William H. Anderson,
superintendent of the league, explained
that the league desired to have the en-
torcement measure and companion bill
creating the enforcement department
passed separately, declaring that If the
two were linked, Governor Smith would
seize the opportunity of vetoing both.
This measure, free from any partisan
complications, puts the issue up to the
Governor in it's simplest form" William
Anderson said. 'Tt is simply the federal
law. 1t is the law of the State anyhow
under the constitution Of the United
States. 1t merely proposes to put New
York officially in line with the federal
government"
The State Enforcement bill describes an
intoxicating beverage as any containing
more than one-half of one per cent OF
alcohol.
The measure protects homes against
search and seizure of stored intoxicants
It CONSTITUTES a private dwelling to include
a room or rooms used and occupied
solely as residence in an apartment
house, hotel or boarding house.
The measure has strong provisions
against "bootlegging." In this regard
the bill says:-"That any person wht
shall, with intent to effect a sale of liquor
keep or carry about his person, or in a
vehicle or other conveyances whatsoever
or leave in a place for another to secure
any liquor or who shall solicit, take OF
ccept orders for the sale, shipment and
livery of liquor in violation of this
apter is guilty of a nuisance and may
restrained by injunction from doing OF
ltinuing any of said acts"
he bill, according to a statement to-
hit by the league. is designed to place
IN State officers by State authority the
ne obligations to enforce the fedora
hibition amendments the Volstead ACT
ces on federal officials and to enable
