Germany has begun to flood Switzerland
and other neutral countries with expansive
propaganda, both in book and pamphlet form,
such as the memoirs of Ludendorf, Won Hin
denburg, Won Spec and other naval and mill
tary leaders in the war. The books cost be-
tween two and fifty Swiss francs each.
These, together\with experiences of the for
mer Emperor William and Crown Prince
Frederick, are sent to Swiss citizens free OF
all cost without anything to show where they
originated. All classes of persons receive
them and the Swiss newspapers are asking
who is behind this unwanted propaganda The
German minister at Berne has denied any Of
fetal knowledge of it.
The Journal Democratic says that while Ger
many is pleading poverty in order to obtain
exemption from PREPARATIONS payments and pro-
visions of the Treaty of Versailles, and that
while she is sending to Switzerland many chill
dren for charitable care, she is spending large
sums for useless propaganda through which
it is hoped to create favorable neutral pres
sure on the allied premiers.

Animals Die

Eighty per cent of all the animals in the
once famous geological garden of Budapest
have died from starvation, for the food neces-
sary to keep them alive is needed for HUI
mans.
All of the seals have persisted. They de-
pended on salt water fish and when the sup
pply ran out few weeks ago the seals be-
came i'll and died one after another Lack OF
fuel and proper care has, of course, been a
contributing cause of the troubles of the Bud
apest zoo. which in pre-war days boosted
some of the finest specimens in southeast
ern Europe.
Every cage has been thinned of its in
mates except the monkey cage. but COM
paratively few of them have died. This tribe
is still lively and is members manage to
act naturally on what is thrown to them
by the few people who have time from food
and fuel worries to visiE the place.

walnut, oceans and fruit trees of all sorts; also vines.
 The school districts we expect will be very helpful to the idea, for we will ask the boys to make bird boxes for every tree so, that the songsters will come to call it home. We shall dub these bird box associations."
 In addition to these things the idea of the auxiliary is also to promote sentiment for memorial bridges. foun- tains. wells and springs and the erection of suitable memorial statu- ary along the route.
 And then, something so neigh borly" the women will do. Where the distances are long between towns. tea rooms will be promoted, and camp sites where automobilists and others can find lights and water and places for camp cooking.
 Everyone must be merry along Bankhead highway Is the idea. which is a road that can, be traversed win ter and summer, since it passes from Washington through the south and west, and is never impossible by heavy snows.
 The Bankhead highway commence rates the name of Senator Bankhead, who was Mrs. Owens father, and it starts in Washington from the same zero stone" at which the Lincoln highway begins. The zero stone" was dedicated with great ceremony not long ago. It bears the names on opposite sides of Lincoln and Bank head.
 The women of Washington will have charge of beautifying the high way into Virginia. Then the Vir- ginia women will take up the task into the Carolinas, and from there Alabama women will do the work. In Texas there is 1000 miles of the road
 The local meeting is expected to be very interesting, and to dvelop and many plans.

Shut your eyes and think of a very beautiful thing.
 And then see If this isn't one -of the prettiest that you have ever heard of.
 Conceive of a road reaching from Washington City to San Diego. Cal, lovely with swaying nut and fruit trees, Towering shrubbery and from every tree the songs of birds as one drives along. "A road of song, of coolness, of pleasure" that is the idea, and that is what the women want to make of the Bankhead hi gh- way, the longest one-name road in the world.
 In order that plans for planting the trees can be made, and committees organized throughout those counties of Alabama which will be traversed by the road, a meeting is to be held at the Tutwiler hotel today. The hour is 12:30.
 Mrs. Thomas M Owen, member of the national woman's auxiliary to the Bankhead highway committee is here to attend the meeting, sum moned by Mrs. Wellington vandiver, Alabama chairman, from Talladega. There will be delegates present from the counties of Talladega, Calhoun, Walker and Jefferson.
 The woman's auxiliary Is a new or ganization just started at Greens boro, N. C., last summer, and this is the initial organization meeting for Alabama.
 "Its idea" said MT. Owen, who talked to me at the Tutwiler hotel, "is not to promote the road. That is the mems job. Ours is to beautify it.
 We will organize so that every school district Is interested. The trees we want to plant are blacl

RECORD HERE GOOD
 IN DISEASE BATTLE
State Health Officer Com. mends Social Work Here as
 Setting National Pace

Birmingham is handling it's fight against social diseases better than any other city in the United States under the present system. Dr. S. w Welch, state health officer, declared last night in an interview at his room in the Tutwiler hotel. pr. Welch is in Birmingham en route to Marion county, where he is going to check up some pioneer work being done by one of his inspectors. He will be absent from Montgomery un- til early in next week.
 The free clinic established here is doing admirable work and accom- plishing splendid results, Dr. Welch asserted. Specialists in these dis eases report to him that their prac- tice is falling off sharply, he said. Birmingham has probably the best free clinic for the treatment of so- cial diseases in the country, and its work is reflected in the considerable reduction of new cases reported Bir- mingham and Mobile stand highest among all communities in the state in smallness of the number of new cases reported in proportion to popu- lation.
 Cooperative clinics being used in Alabama are being watched by health authorities all over the country, who are also watching the social disease work in Birmingham, Dr. Welch said. The cooperative clinic Is believed to be the ultimate solution of the prob lem of fighting these diseases. Ter ritories are so large that an appro- priation large enough to cover the entire state cannot be hoped for, he declared Cooperative clinics bring efficient treatment within easy reach of every citizen.
 The state furnishes the equipment and medicine for this practice, while the doctor charges a nominal fee for services. They have been established in 5S of the CT counties of the state, with 70 cooperative clinics and l2 free clinics, the doctor stated.
 High praise for pr. J. D. Bowling health officer, for his fight in the control of communicable diseases was voiced by Dr. Welch. He said statis- tics showed wonderful results here in this work. He also indorsed pr. Dowling's fight to protect foods rom dirt and germs, which has been halt ed by the delay before the courts con vene to hear pending appeal cases

 memoratiVe Money

One hundred thousand 5O-cent coins that mark Alabama's 100 years of statehood will arrive in Alabama in the near future.
 A telegram was received yester- day by Mrs. Thomas M. owen that the fine arts committee of Washing ton had approved the design submit ted by the coin committee of the Ala bama Centennial commission and that the mint would soon turn them out.
 The coins will be sold at a pre- mium, and s5O,0Oo, it is expected. will. be realized from their sale. the funds being devoted to historical purposes. published; some historic spots will be marked, and reserve fund will be kept for such purposes as those in charge later find historical use for.
 Mrs. Owen is secretary Of that com mittee.
 The coins, it is hoped, can be ob- tained from the mint in time for the seml-centennial here, though this is not sure. They will be sold at s1 each if bought from local banks, but if they are ordered from Mont gomery by mail, the charge will be $1.10.
 The coin is authorized by Congress, the bill being introduced by Con- gressman Rainey of Gadsden. The design is that of a regular 50-cent piece on one side while on the other there are the profiles of William A. Bibb, who was the first governorl in 1919 and Thomas F. Kilby who stood at the end of the century-f9t9. Twentytwo stars represent that Alabama was the twenty-second state to. enter the union.
 All the other states are selling their similar coins at premium. It is purely a sentimental idea, but the secretary of the coin committee is already besieged with advance or ders for Alabama's coins from pro- fessional dealers as well as coin col lectors. The money received from the Alabama coins will be handled and disbursed by the state treasurer
