STORM RELIEF FUND CRAWLING UPWARD Chairman Jay Smith Again Reminds Citizens of the
 Need For Haste

Jefferson countys subscriptions to S',l5S.50 yesterday, with a $500 sub scription by members of the Alabama Coal Operators Association added to the previous sum secured
 Committees representing the various clubs and civic associations are still at work. soliciting subscriptions to the S19.125 fund which is Jefferson countys quota of the $77,000 sum which is be- ing raised throughout the state to help the cyclone sufferers of Marion and Franklin counties.
 Reports from the various schools of the city and county which contributed to the fund last week, were not all in hand Monday, and teachers are urged to make known the amounts collected as soon as possible. The churches of Jefferson county also made special offering for the storm sufferers Sun day, but the total received from this source is not yet known.
 We have collected somewhat more than a third of the sum designated as Jefferson county's quota" said Jay Smith, chairman for this county but we feel that the coming week will find us well beyond the total desired. The campaign was somewhat belated, but the need for help for the people of these stricken counties is all the more accentuated thereby. Each day that passes means added suffering for the hundreds who are without food or shell ter, save that which is bestowed by charity.
 We must rebuild the homes in the devastated sections, and 1t is important that we help at once. l am sure the citizens and the corporated interests of this county will respond very literally, when we have had a chance to get around to them all I only wish to re- mind them that the canvassers who are working in this cause are giving freely or their time and energy without hope or reward save the knowledge of hay. ing done a good deed, and l am sure that the public will respond in like spirit"

 sample of the cakes coming to the attention of the health officers. they immediately ordered the sale to stop and made an attempt to round up the different lots which were being sold in various parts of the city
 Investigation revealed that the cakes were manufactured before the sign ing of the armistice and bought for sale at Muscle Shoals, The signing of the armistice came before the delivery could be made and the purchasing company found itself with carload of cakes on their hands.
 After a long period of storage they were unearthed and turned over to brokers for sale. After passing through several hands, they finally arrived in Birmingham and were distributed in several places in the city. The manu- lecturers made particular efforts to CO., operate with the city health officers to gather the product and destroy 1t. as they had no idea that the goods were being kept in storage so long.

Maj.

 "Of the cities of this division, New Orleans is leading in the total amounl raised, with nearly half her quota already in hand. The north Mississippi zone, with headquarters at Greenwood, has raised more than half of it's quota Vicks- burg, Miss, has almost done the same. Other zones that are making satisfactory progress are Anniston, Columbus. Miss. where the new building will be dedi- cated today; Decatur Florence Gadsden, Jackson. Meridian, Mobile and Tusca- loosa. These reports are for the zones of which these various cities are the cen- ters

 On the same day, the Birmingham people will be called upon by the volunteers from the American Legion.
 q would like to speak especially of the hearty support being given our organi- zation by organized labor over the entire division. Thousands of men are con tributing to the fund through their locals. and we feel that the final results will show that a large proportion of our sup port will come from the laboring man. Heretofore the contributions of the labor ing men have been "bunched' with all the others. This time they are being kept separate and we are already gratihed al the support given us.''
 M. Davis. proprietor of the Puritan Bakery, will donate the returns from all sales of 15-eent loaves of bread, between noon and 6 o'clock in the evening, to the Salvation Army fund.
 Army workers and their friends will be volunteer clerks during the sale.

DALLAS IS TRYING
 ID GET DR. STUART
Remains With People of Birmingham to Decide If
 He Will Remain

Dr. George R. Stuart pastor of the First Methodist Church will remain in Birmingham if the people of this city are allowed to decide
 Dr. Stuart announced yesterday that he had been called to the First Meth odist Church of Dallas, Tex, and Bish- op James G. Cannon had agreed to let the Birmingham congregation decide
 This is the fourth year of Dr. Stu arts pastorate in Birmingham and as it is customary in the Methodist con- ference for a pastor to remain at one church only four years, some of the largest churches in the south have made requests for Dr. Stuart. However, Bishop Cannon, who succeeded Bishop James A. Atkins in this district, has received so many requests for the local pastor to remain in Birmingham that he has agreed to allow Birmingham to decide the matter.
 Bishop Cannon will be in Birmingham this week for the purpose of discuss ing this matter, as well as to make plans to move from Nashville to Bir- mingham, where he will make his home.
 When seen yesterday Dr. Stuart stated that he had never been as happy any where in his life as he had been in Birmingham and he appreciated the many requests from his friends to have him remain here.
 Announcement that Dr. Stuart would pr obably go to Dallas was a distinct surprise to his congregation, as we'll as lis many other friends in q this city. Immediately following, concerted ef- fort was made to keep him in Alabama and he will in all probability remain in Birmin gham.

 The congressman from the Fifth dis trict expressed his deep appreciation and gratitude for the enthusiastic and loyal support given to him by the democrats of Jefferson county. He assured them that the people of Jefferson county would find him always keenly alive to their every interest and grateful for the honor that they had helped to confer upon him.
 In commenting upon his race for the Senate he said that Roy Nolen, of Alex ander City, who managed his campaign. had proven himself to be past master in the matter of reaching and keeping in close touch with the rank and file of the democratic voters in the state and that he had set a pace in clean and hon. est politics that certain professinal poli- ticians who rely upon the purse more than upon principles would do well to follow
 He said that in order to keep the rec ords straight, Roy Nolen is obtaining the vote by precincts in the various counties and that he may have some in- teresting suggestions to make when the state committee meets to canvass the returns in the senatorial race
 T am sincerely grateful and deeply indebted to the democrats of the state for their very effective support he continued. No man ever had more enthusiastic, determined and unselfish following than the men who secured my nomination to the Senate in the primary on May Il.
