 It was decided to name publicity man to prepare matter concerning the junior chamber for the monthly issues of Bir- mingham, the official organ of the chamber.
 A lot of fun was created at the last meeting by adoption of vote that the two charter members bringing in the fewest number of new members furnish the smokes. The smokes were forth coming.
 That the junior chamber is going to be busy about Birmingham and be heard from in constructive manner appears quite evident.

SEE THE REASON

This activity on the part of the ne- groes is very gratifying for it shows their appreciation of the work which the Anti-Tuberculosis Association of Jeffer- son County has done among the people of the negro race. The mortality of tu- berculosis among the negroes has been distressing and the spread of the disease has been a serious menace to the health of the county, not only among their own

people, but also among the whites with whom they come in contact.
 Not only has the association done valuable work in an educational cam paign among the negroes, but the doctors and other leaders of their race have con trlbuted valuable services along these lines and they are awakening to the fact that this disease which causes the
 death of so many of them, can be checked. This should be very welcome news to the white people of the county
 for no small part of the infection among
 the whites has been traced to origin
 among the negroes. This Is a cause
 where both races must work together
 for their mutual protection"
 Many people are not waiting for the
 workers to call on them, but are volun-
 tarily coming into headquarters and de-
 posting their contributions to the cause. Yesterday three young women, all Of
 whom were stenographers in downtown offices, donated one full days pay each. Officers at headquarters and many Of the workers report they find the women of all classes keenly alive to the im- portance of the issue and ready and will ing to give literally of their means in this cause.

Fair weather and an enthusiastic and determined army of workers were bring ing good results yesterday in the cam paign of the nti-Tuberculosis associa- tion, according to incomplete reports be- Ing made by the different committees during the afternoon.
 b For the first time during the week. the women were able to work with fairly full teams in the residential distrcits of the city and the suburbs and reports were that much work was being done in the canvass of the rural districts, where the rain and bad condition of many of the settlement roads had seriously interfered for the first four days of the campaign.
 JOIN WORK
 Especial qualification was expressed by Chairman Toulmin and Field Marshal Rushton at headquarters last night over the activity which was being displayed by the negro workers. strong com mittee of leading negroes, headed by pr. Pierce S. Moton as chairman, Dr. U. G. Mason, W. B. Driver, Oscar Adams, pr. B. J. Anderson and Dr. l. B. Kigh, had perfected an efficient organization and the workers were taking the field de- termined that the negroes should dc tbeir full part in this campaign.
 Teams of workers have been secured by the committee for work among the negro business men and to make can vass of the homes of negroes of the county and indications are that they will come up with their full quota, which they have voluntarily set for themselves, '' declared MT. Rushton. They held a rousing meeting, had a. number of stir ring talks by leaders of their own people as well as by several prominent white people, and they have organized effect lively and systematically to secure their quota

The Tuscaloosa" sister to the self-propeller "Birming- ham," was launched yesterday afternoon in the yards at St. Louis Boat and Engineering company.
 The vessel will now have her ma chinery installed and then will come her trial trip. The boat should be added to the craft on the Warrior by January.
 The two others, the Mobile" and ~Gulfport,' will come from the St. Louis ways at a later date. Each of these boats will have a freight capac- ity of 2,000 tons.
 Word has also been received that the towboat "Natchez," which is to ply the Mississippi, has also been launched and is about ready to enter service. This vessel is much larger than, the Warrior towboats and is of 2,000 Horsepower.
 MOBILE MAKES GOOD
 Birmingham persons interested in Warrior development were delighted to read in The AgeHerald yesterday morning that citizens of Mobile had raised $41,00 to purchase the Blakes- ley Island site for the federal coal terminal The price is only s37,500, but Mobilians were so determined on making good, they went beyond the required amount. In fact, Birmingham coal operators having underwritten S15,O00 of the amount, the Mobile sub scrtption was practically twice the quota of that city.
 Deeds to the site will be delivered ahe government at once and the termi- nal will commence to take shape at an early date. Arrangements for bringing fresh water to the island have already been made.

C|WTAN MEMBERS
 WANT QUICK WORK
 IN TRYING ROGUES
Request Judges of Criminal Court to Handle Highway Robbery Cases as Speed
 fly as Practicable

Every member present at the Sir min g h a m Civitan club luncheon meeting yesterday voted in faovr of a resolution requesting the judges of the criminal division of the circuit court to arrange for an early and speedy trial of all those who have been arrested on charges of highway robbery.
 The resolution was brief and to the point. The minute the secretary had finished reading 1t every member was on his feet with his right hand raised. The resolution is as follows:
 Be it resolved, that the judges
 of the criminal division of the
 circuit court of Jefferson county
 be urged to arrange for as speedy
 trial mny he consistent with
 justice for those men recently arr
 rested and charged with robbery.
 to the end that others may be
 deterred from the perpetration of
 such crimes"
 Judge Hugh A. Locke was the princi- pal speaker at the weekly luncheon at the Southern club, and spoke in inter- est of the Tuberculosis campaign Ho sa.iu IL was not the duty of the business men of the city to donate money for the benefit of those who have been attacked by the dreadful white plague. They do that out of plain intelligence, he stated. But it Is the duty of every man to help in the fight to prevent the spreading of the disease so his own family might be protected. q
 The motion was also passed that the club entertain the little folks of the Mercy Home at their luncheon meet ing, Friday, December 24. Dr. Court ney w. Shropshire was appointed chairman of a committee to make all arrangements and see that all the chil- dren are on time for the luncheon. An excellent musical programme was also rendered. Towards the close of the meeting it was decided that the next meeting would be devoted to making plans as to what the club would do during the Christmas season.

manager, said the bins would have a ship loading capacity of 800 tons an hour.
 The terminal will be able to handle in the course of a year.. 100000 tons. That amount is one-fourth the aver age production of the Alabama mines.
 Principal use of the coal terminal will be for export coal. Demand for that does not appear to have any limit. This indicates that with the coal terminal in operation, one-fourth the annual production of coal in the state will go out of the country and be re- moved from competition in the domes- tic field.
 No further word has been received from Washington with regard to the award of bids for building the 20,000- ton coal bins at Cordova. Details with regard to this matter are still under consideration by the war department.

MANY CHANGES IN PEN
MANAGEMENT MADE
BY WARDEN COMPTON

Extensive development. begui
February / when wardenship chang
ed hands. is now underway at the
state penitentiary Under the super
vision Of Warden Louis Compton
and with the work being done almost
exclusively by trained convict help
the prison Is undergoing complete
renovation. From the offices. through
the chapel-''the last lane.'' into the
shops. the dining quarters and the
yards, all are being changed in some
way or other, even If it is only for a
coat of paint.
Perhaps the greatest Improvement
Is the rapid Transformation of the
yards, once barren and desolate. into
garden of beauty. The clay prem
ises behind the high gray walls once
Uttered with cans. wire and debris
are being plowed. smoothed and plant
ed in picturesque plots of lawn and
roses. Winding in and out between
these are even gravel walks.
Grounds Kept Clean
With the advent Of Lieut. Compton
to the prison strictest * p duty"
found its birth for the first time in
the institution. Each prisoner, dele
gated squadron by himself is as
signed to X. p. duty with instruc-
tions to pick up every match cigar
cite stub and bit of waste IN the yards
and carry them to nearest waste
cans. Few cleaner spots are found
outside Of this big Jail.

fore March 1, 1915, rope dangled
from the trap" scaffold mutely beck
orine for the lives Of men. would
not be recognized now. The scaffold.
death trap, and all have been remov-
ed, and a culinary department and
kitchen, immaculate and elaborate
are now being built in their place.
The chapel has been completely
refloored with hard wood SO has the
dining room.
Flu Is Held In Check
From the warden's office through
out the executive chambers the din
gy walls are being repalnted and
decorated by the hands Of convicts
by systematic care and prompt
isolation spread of influenza has
been prevented in the penitentiary
Only two cases, where the patients
might be regarded in serious condi-
tion, are receiving attention. Any
man showing the slightest symptom
is Immediately placed under care.
Each cell, where as dusk comes
the eonylcts are blleted for the night
is being equipped with am Individual
heating system, rendering equitable
heat throughout the cell chambers.
Working upon the theory that idle
ness breeds discomfort the warden is
seeking vocation for each of the APP
800 inmates Of the pris- I
on. Guards at all times mingle with
the convicts instructing and guiding
them AS they work
Men Are Kept Busy
