 which will reach $30,000, the 135th observation flying squadron of the national guard Is ready to be mustered in within very short time, and Birmingham will have to her credit in this organization another splendid asset.
 At "Shadyside" on the Underwater car line. between Birmingham and Ensley, Roberts Feld" is ready and waiting for the organization to be- gin active work, with it's 25 officers and 90 enlisted men. composing the personnel.
 In memory of their dead comrade- Arthur Meredyth Roberts-who gave his life for his country during the late World war while engaged in squadron formation at Issoudun, France, the flying field of the 135th observation squadron has been named-a tender and touching tribute to the memory of one of the most beloved and most able young men who Birmingham has ever called her own.
 The men who are connected with the new organization are enthusiastic in their anticipation of the tre- mendous advantage the 135th ob- servation squadron will be to Bir- mingham, not only as a civic asset, but as a protective measure in cases of emergency and among those who have given minute attention to the development of the movement is Adjt Sumpter Smith. with whom I had the pleasure of talking yesterday.
 Adjutant Smith said, among the many interesting things that he told me in regard to the 135th observation squadron:
 First of all. I want to give Mir. Mercer Barnett credit for the splen did interest and generosity he has shown in the organization of the squadron; he has sponsored the movement enthusiastically and he has certainly been of tremendous help to us in every way. In representing the Chamber of Commerce, Mir. Bar nett has been instrumental in plan- ming the drive which we are in- augurating today for funds to carry on the work and he has stood by us Loyalty and faithfully and has been great inspiration to us."
 Through MT. Barnett all the civic clubs are organized into committees representative of each club to assist us in raising funds" said Adjutant Smith, "and we want to give him due credit for all his splendid work"
 Tt was a question between Atlanta and Birmingham as to which city should have the 135th observation squadron" continued Adjutant Smith, when, just after the war, the states

tions, the industrial relations com mittee of the chamber of commerce used very effective means of yis- ualizing the deplorable facts to the captains of industry in session there. These business and industrial leaders were driven over the city by aero plane, from which station could be spotted the great number of Idle freight cars on the sidings, smoke less smokestacks, inactive mills and factories by the most casual glance.
 Tine result was that many jobless men were given jobs, and many snokeless smokestacks were put into active work again, showing the value of aeroplanes.
 Aerial photography will be one of the features which the squadron will perfect" said Adjutant Smith. "A map of Jefferson county is to be made among the first things. and a large map of Birmingham also By the aid of aerial photography many cities have been assisted in solving perplexing civic problems, one of which is Rochester, N. Y. Here aerial maps have been used in traffic studies, the residential section being repaved, rebuilt, new streets opened and grading and building done ac- cording to these maps.
 Aerial photography is an out standing development of the World war as a quick means of securing in- formation regarding many develop IT ents, and one of the main advan- tages of the aerial survey Is the rapidity with which it can be done,' said Adjutant Smith.
 Within a few years there win be assembled in Washington topo- graphical map of the entire United States. The 135th observation squad ron. being the only one of its kind in this part Of the country, will probably have the privilege of mak- ing maps covering this section of the south, and thereby share in the honor of furnishing part of one of the most extraordinary pieces of work owned by any government.
 "Our men are all enthusiastic. and we are organizing every angle thor oughly," said Adjutant smith. "Dr, B s, Lester, one of Birmingham g most prominent physicians, is head of the medical department. and as flight surgeon will give his atten- tion to this important branch of the service.
 "The main purpose of the squad ron" said Adjutant Smith, "is to rem der to our state and this community all the service possible, and for this purpose unit will be especially trained. In all emergencies, in war or peace, the 135th observation squad ron will always be at the command of the people"

 Mrs Val Nesbitt, one of the city's prominent clubwomen, has this to say:
 'I think the establishment of chill dren's night for Birmingham is one of the finest things that could be. 1t breaks a routine of existence for both parents and children. The little folks should be impressed with the fact that their parents love to give up everything for their pleasure that night. Something really enjoyable and beneficial should be arranged. NJ NJ Hughes, superintendent of the juvenile department of the Methodist Sunday school at Ensley is very en-s thusiastic over Friday night as chil- drens night
 He urges the mothers of Ensley to begin now making plars for this night next week. One Friday night short time ago, he and four of his assistants entertained the classes of their department at the church. Games were played and refreshments served.

 "It was all about this shop early for Christmas movement that we read so much about, and I wish they would quit printing newspapers, for there are so many foolish things in them.
 T got all worked up over the poor. tired shop girls standing on their feet all the time, although I don't know where one expects them to stand ex- cept on their feet, and I went down. town and began buying my Christ mas things.
 "I first bought hand-tooled limp covered volume of the Rubaiyat for Kitty, because she is so literary and crazy about poetry
 Then ran across a beautiful jug of dark green from one of the best potteries in the country, and while 1t was too expensive for me to buy I stretched point and bought 1t for Crystobel, because she Is so artis- tic and all that
 Then I remembered that Ann was simply crazy about a certain scent. so I hunted all over town till found a store that sold 1t and bought her an eight-ounce bottle and they fixed it all up in fancy box and I thought had them all settled for Christmas Today I was down around the stores again and as luck would have 1t met Kitty, Crystobel and Ann and we went to lunch together.
 "Of course, the conversation turned on Christmas and the first thing l heard was Kitty deploring the drink ing at Christmas time and found she had just gone in for w. c. T. U. work.
 Before sh chad hardly finished talking Crystobal began deploring the fact that the department stores were getting out reproductions of all art works and told about the very kind of jugs bought her being on salerfor 49 cents.
 Then picked up Anna's handker- chief and sniffed at 1t and she told me that she had quit using scent since her grandfather told her shs smelled like a muskrat.
 Do you wonder that I am disgust ed? I cannot give any one of these girls the things I bought for them and I am ready to cry"
 "Never mind, honey" consoled An- drew. "I can fix that all up for you We can use every one of those things ourselves and drown our sorrow al the same time."

were mapped off into corps-ares in- stead of departments. Tn the Fourth eorps-area, of which Alabama is a part, four states are represented, in cfuding Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida The 135th observation squadron will be the squadron for this area. Sometimes two squadrons are allowed, depending upon the popula- ton of the states. We began organ ization nearly year ago; in fact, be- fore that there was preliminary work, but it was last January when Col. Hartley Moon, the adjutant general of the state, finally concluded the ar arrangements for us. Hayden Brooks was one of the first to become in- terested In the squadron and then the Flying club took it up"
 I've have many notable men in the squadron. Among them our command ing officer, Captain Meissner, who has a record of eight planes and two bal looms and several decorations. r. N. Bush, another member of the squad dron, was member during the war of the famous Lafayette escadrlle. Of the 25 officers, nine are pilots and in addition to the squadron We also have reserve corps for Birmingham, which will be instructed by the na- tional guard'
 ',rhe equipment to be furnished the 135th observation squadron by the United States government will be valued at approximately S300,o0O,' said Adjutant Smith. Included in the equipment will be nine planes, spare motors and plane parts for 1,000 fly- ing hours, machine shop equipment, radio telephone and telegraph equip nent. photographic apparatus, motor trucks, motorcycles, machine guns and supplies.
 The purpose of the organization will be to not only establish fully equipped squadron of trained pilots observers, mechanics, radio operators, but to train new pilots and observ- CTS from the officers and enlisted men of the squadron who can pass the necessary physical examination, but also to render all service possible to the state and community in which 1t is located, a few of which services will be aerial observation, mapping photography, quick communication with areas devastated by fire, floods, tornadoes and other things.
 Any member of the squadron who desires to do so, and can pass the necessary requirements, can take training for pilots license right here in Birmingham. When he has passed the necessary flying tests, he is then eligible for a commission in the re- serve corps, United States army. or the national guard" said Adjutant Smith.
