Death'S most able assistants, in
 the order named, next to infant mortality, are tuberculosis. syph. His nnd dyscntery. The last two diseases figure chiefly in connec-
 tion with the deaths of babies who
 do not live to the age of 1 yenr.
 Tuberculosis, for the fighting of which the county and city have no Pther defense than the Jefferson Coun- 'ty Anti-Tuberculosis association, was the direct cause of II per cent of the deaths in Birmingham and Jefferson county during thel ast five years.
 LIMITED MEANS
 The Anti-Tuberculosis association, headed by Dr. George Eaves, with linn ited and meager resources, has been making the best fight it could against the white plague. However, accord ing to health officials of the city and county, it's resources are too limited to influence the situation materially
 The department of health is striving to develop it's own organization to combat this disease. according to Dr. J. D. Bowling, and is at present plan ming to lend full cooperation to the Anti- Tuberculosis association.
 ''The percentage of deaths from tuberculosis in Jefferson county is entirely too hish," said Dr. Dow ling yesterday. "We have no means for fighting the disease at our disposal nt present, however, and until we have the ravages of the disease cannot be checked.'
 According to Dr. Bowling, dysentery is disease whose toll is taken mostly in summer months. It is a specific infection which is in all probability principally spread in foods which be- come soiled by flies and careless har- cling by persons caring for the chill dren.
 GET EXPERT
 "An expert sanitarian has been en- gagged by the health department to fight the flies in the Birmingham dis trict," pr. Bowling stated. "He will take precautions to stop breeding of flies in horse stables, COW barns and pig pens, besides other places where the insects breed politically.
 "A little later on we plan to or- ganize campaign with a view to stopping the fly problem at its source, at least partially"
 Infant mortality, pr. Bowling stated, Is due to errors in diet, un-
 clean food md the lack of prac-
 ticnl knowledge on the part of

as the Pittsburg of the south and owing to the rivalry between Pittsburgs and Cleveland, it didn't help Birmingham any.
 MT. Hardy. however, having been resident of Pittsburg for good many years, heard of this matter, and Immediately mad Birmingham placed on the schedule. He said any place which had got far enough along to be termed the Pittsburg of a section in which 1t was located was a mighty good town.
 But think it would help your town a whole lot more" he said, 'if you would call it the Cleye- land of the south. This is only little tip"
 MT. Hardy stated it would be ad- visahle to try getting the federal reserve bank here from Atlanta as that was one factor which would go long way toward getting Birmingham far above her rival.

NEW BUSINESS Why, you have here a most ideal situation for the new location of most any kind of industry and there isn't any reason in the world why you cannot step right out and get them.

 He was informed that Birmingham se- cured new business every other day, by record
 We think of course. Cleveland is the only town in the world, and when you look over it you will agree with me we have a right to be proud, but next to Cleveland, think Birmingham stacks up with the best of them on down the l line.'
 | William M. Hardy, chairman of tho I trip committee, expressed delight over
 the cordial manner in which; they were
 received, saying at no place on the trip so far had the courtesy been eQualled, let alone excelled.

Miss Pauline Harvell, t6 of SIP Forty eighth street, whose disappear ance from home Saturday had almost completely baffled the police depart ment, will be brought home today.
 She was found yesterday by the chief of police of Columbus, Miss. No details as for her reasons for leaving Birmingham and being in Columbus have been obtained by the detective department.
 It was nt ei-st believed the girl had been Kidnapped. tNs lMNlf
 Local pe..~S authorities say it is possible the girl gave way to some childish desire for adventure, such as is often the case of young run-aways.
 No information was to be had con eerning the 'well-dressed" woman who, it was said, accomapined Miss Harvell the night she was seen in the Terminal station.
 Luther Hollums of the city detective department will leave this morning for Columbus to bring Miss Pauline back to her mother.

Smitb D. Pickett Suggests Means ot
 Stopping Intimidation

The Age e-Herald has received copy of a telegram sent to Governor Kilby from Chattanooga by Smith D. Pickett, which reads as follows:
 Noting your. suggestion that the coal strike be settled by public opin- ion and offering two remedies. No sane business man could or would rec ommend recognition direct or indirect of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica by Alabama coal operators The United Mine Workers have absolutely no moral or legal responsibility. The second proposition can be handled by you. The constitution of the United States and also of the state of Ala bama guarantees to every citizen his vocational rights without interference. Instruct General Steiner to enforce this provision without fear or favor and there will be no more picketing molestation or intimidation under in structions from rank outsiders.

 ''One of the biggest tasks before the health station" said Dr. Bowling, will be the effort to protect the un- born child. If proper environment is not available, the mother will be er- couraged to go to the free wards of the public hospital. This feature alone of the work will more than pay back the expense created in the number of little lives safeguarded from the many dangers surrounding their entrance into the world.''

Born of stauneh principles. striking backed by the strength and fineness of perfect manhood and a cour- ageous womanhood, Birmingham to- day is blazing it's way down the trail of history, adding epoch after epoch to the cold, hard, vivid drama of American commerce and industry.
 In Birmingham yesterday over 50 representatives Of Cleveland big busi- ness, a mighty city ranking among the first in the world. listened to the graphic story of the birth and growth of this budding city of the south.
 As the Ohioans sat around the ta- bles in the Tutwiler hotel at the luncheon which was held in their honor while here on an inspection excusion for the brief period of day, their eyes were fixed upon the men at the head of the gathering who gave to them little passing glimpses of the sweeping drama in the growth of Birmingham. Their ears were all attentive.
 MORE THAN INTERESTED
 They had previously individually ac- knowledged the prowess of Birming- ham and had expressed their won derment Now they were drinking in every word the local speakers sent out to them
 B. H. Hartsfield. president of the Civic Association, delivered the off cial address of welcome at the lunch con.
 He told the assembly of the youth of the city and asked the indulgence - of their sympathies in the problems Birmingham, as young city, had to, face
 We used to hold to the idea that you folks of the north would learn few things about what we were up against when the negro was let into the north country to mingle among you. We thought we were the only ones who had ever had problem to face in such social way.
 But let me say when the foreigners of Europe who had settled at first in the north began to overwhelm this country, then we understood that you. too, had problems nf your own.
 NEIGHBORS
 After all we are neighbors-a big neighborhood. We should realize this fact and prize it highly, for to be good neighbor is indeed a worthy tribute to any man or to any group of men.
 We must cooperate with each other all to common end-a bigger and better nation. And thus we ex- tend to you, not greeting of the south to the north, but greeting of brother to brother, neighbor to neigh bor."
 Mir Hartsfield touched on the situa- tion of the city in a field of natural resources showing the manner in which the iron and steel industry had begun and developed in the commu- nifty.
 Charles l.. Harold spoke on the other industries which had come to Birmingham and had prospered, and presented figures to the gathering showing how steel could be made cheaper here than anywhere else ur- der the face of the sun Dr. W. B. Holmes, speaking in be- half of civil and moral Birmingham, drove a solemn message home to resi- dent and visitor alike.
