By FRANK WILLIS BARNETT

1t can no longer be truthfully said
that Birmingham's industries are lin
tied to the manufacture of iron and
steel, for year by year other lines are
finding that it is profitable to enter
the field.
The newest outside concern to real
ize the opportunities of Birmingham
as distributing point is the Bir-
mingham Flour Mills, Inc., which
without any blowing of trnmpets for
more than year has beep getting
ready for business.
over at Twenty eight street and
Avenue L, one can see a modern plant
which began its work on Monday re-
milling and blending and get ready
for market self-rising flour. The Bir-
ming Flour Mills. Inc, the only flour
mills in Birmingham. is owned by
J. o. Walker. president; c. F. Willen,
vice president, and w. e. Hunter, Sec
retary-treasurer. 1t has a capacity
of 1000 barrels daily, and will fea-
ture Alabama brands. Vulcan"
Warrior" Alabama Bound" and
several others. both plain and self
rising varieties.
1T was only after careful study
of the field and more than years
work with the railroads that we felS
satisfied that we could compete with
Atlanta. Nashville, Louisville and
other cities, says President Walker.
But with the cooperation of the rail-
roads we are now in position to
hold our own in Alabama, Georgia,

who's Who in Birmingham
Among the Newcomers

Florida, Mississippi and North and
South Carolina.
II say this as all the railroads COM
ing into Birmingham have recently
published their tariffs, ruling per-
hitting the milling and transit of
flour in and through Birmingh ham,
which permits the mixing. blending
and reshipping of flour into North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama and part of Mississippi. This
puts a mixing and blending plant on
an equal basis with flour mills and
mixing plants located in Memphis or
Nashville throughout the territory
above mentioned.
Milling and transit on flour in this
territory means nothing more than a
through rate from the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi gateways to the point Of des-
tination. permitting the shipment to
stop over in Birmingham for blending
and mixing purposes. 1t puts Bir-
mingham on the map as milling cen-
ter.
THAT we have come here to stay is
shown by the fact that both Willen
and myself have bought homes, and
Hunter is excusable for not having
done so as he is unmarried. When
men buy homes In town it is a sure
sign that they expect to make II
more than mere place of business
tAll three of us believe in Birming-
hams future, and that Is why we
have put our money into the Birming-
ham Flour Mills. Inc. We begin with
force of Is and a capacity of 1000
barrels daily, but confidently expecr
in short while to double the force
and the output"

The Kiwanians applauded vocifer-

DR.. Glenn spoke of the inability OF
a great many people to spell. and
declared that while this is being
stressed--and is to be stressed even
more-schools everywhere have had
to take care of increased RESPONSE
bilities toward children, and the kid
dies have had to take on so many
other studies that spelling had not
been made a major study as 1T was
in other days.

desirability of being able to spell
WE'LL" said DR.. Glenn, but the tend
ency of the past few years has been
to train the students on even larger
matters: to teach them civics, how to
be better citizens, the proper respect
for law and such things. The schools
have even been compelled to take a
mothers place in instructing the lit
tie girls how to cook and sew and a
fathers place in teaching a boy how
to become a handy man around the
house."

Interest and cooperation on the
part of the city of Birmingham is
rapidly being created in favor OF

THE success we are having in
WANING interest and backing is

Soon the personnel of the outfit

pated that within week or ten
days the $4,000 needed to erect and
equip the administration building,
assemble the two hangers brought
down from Memphis, and grade and
prepare the flying field will have
been collected.
I'm the meantime the county Of
ficials are giving helping hand. On
a number of occasions the board of
revenue has sent out Superintendent
Wheeler with a detachment of men
to assist in unloading and transport
ing the hangar material, and we are
promised further help from this
source in draining the field.
The city commission built road
into the field. and they will UNI
doubtedly extend very valuable help

NORWOOD Church
NEARS COMPLETION
Women Take Active Part in
Raising Funds for
Building

Having raised more than a third
of the $4,000 already paid in on the
building fund of the new Norwood
Methodist church, the Womens Mis-
sionary society of the church are de-
termined to raise $1,000 more by the
bazar and sale of work they are con-
Quoting in the place formerly occu-
pied by the Jemison Real Estate COM
pany in the First National bank
building today and tomorrow.
The history of the building of the
Norwood church is featured by the
spirit of self sacrifice shown by it's
members. The church was started in
1910 with only 20 members. The
first house of worship was an old
frame building on Thirty-first street.
1t was soon realized that to build up
a congregation it was necessary to
have suitable edifice.
Plans were made for new build
ing, but the war came on and moth
ing was done until two. years ago.
when a campaign to raise funds for
the new church was started.
Last June year ago the new
church was started, the plans calling
for an expenditure of $4,000. 1t
called for a handsome structure when
completed, which it is expected will.
be some time in January.
The members of the church are
much gratified at the progress thus
far made in the building of the new
church. as they have never failed to
meet pay roll and not cent has
been borrowed.
Rev. w. F. Price has been the pas
tor during this building period, and
the congregation was much gratified
when he was returned to his charge
for another year.

stances, and as they have been called
upon to make repairs in many
schools.
The board decided that the youth
of Birmingham merits the best that
can be given; that nothing is too
good for the city's children and that
the better their schools the more
efficient citizens will they be. There
fore no school which is now being
put up or is to be put up shall be
on a small space.
when our first plans came up I'M
der this new bond issue an archi-
tect came before us and congratu-
lated the board that the bids for the
construction of the school he had in
charge were coming within the
amount established by the board
Upon inquiry, it was learned that
the kind of school to which he re-
ferred was the type known as 'ordi-
nary construction He was asked if
he could give figures on fireproof
building; and responded that he could
give semi -fireproof figures. After
that he was asked for figures on
absolutely fireproof construction
and when The board had threshed the
thing out, pro and con, it said en-
phatically:
Make the buildings fireproof.
There ought not. to be any Chance
taken on the loss of child life. 1t
was then that the resolution to build
fewer but better schools was passed"
A most pleasing thing is this, said
DIR. Glenn;
Our city building inspector has
said that the beautiful new Wood
lawn school building on First avenue
and Fifty-sixth street. which will be
open February l, is one of the most
attractive school buildings in the
United States, and is the best build
ing ever erected in Birmingham"

CORONER TO HOLD.
ESTES INQUEST
Other Victims of Accident
Are Resting WeIl-Recov-
ery Expected

Formal investigation into the death
of w. G. Estes. who was fatally in
jured Sunday afternoon when an au-
tomobile in which he was riding
plunged through the railing on the
Twenty second street viaduct 30 feet
to a brick pavement will probably be
held today. according to Coroner j..
d. Russum.
The coroner stated yesterday that
the formal investigation into the case
would be held as soon as he could
summon a number of witnesses, and
that he expected to be ready for the
hearing today.
Coroner I.ussum yesterday was
seeking to learn the identity of an
eye witness to the tragedy and was
holding up the investigation temper
arily in an effort to secure the at
tendance of this person.
Mrs. Estes. wife of the deceased,
and Mrs. Hugh Wilkerson, another
member of the automobile party, re-
main in a local infirmary suffering
from serious injuries sustained in the
accident, but according to hospital
authorities are now expected to re-
cover. Mrs. Estes, who was driving
the car at the time of the accident, is
suffering from several broken ribs
and broken right hip. Mrs. Will
kerson's right arm was broken and
she sustained severe cuts about the
face.
Mr.. Estes sustained, double frac-
ture at the base of the skull and
never regained consciousness after
the accident. The party is said to
have been returning from RoebucS
Springs and the accident occurred
when, 1t is believed, an effort was
made to get the car from between the
street car tracks, resulting in its
skidding into the bridge railing, which
gave way.

The board of education of Bir-
mingham has taken a long breath
is looking up-and is planning to de-
liver to the citizens the very best the
members can possibly do for the
citys children.
All of which means that hereafter,
when any school is built, it is not
going to be set up for just a few
years and have to be rebuilt shortly;
but is going to be as permanent a
thing as modern structure can make
it; is going to be fireproof and have
at least a block of campus room.
Said DR.. c. B. Glenn, city super
lntendent of education. yesterday:
No city saves anything in the long
run by putting up ramshackle things
for school buildings and things that
will do The cost of good buildings
and additional land will be more, of
course, but the results attained will
be worth the difference-ten times
overr
These were some of the main rea-
sons, said DR.. Glenn, that the board
of education decided upon it's pres
ent plans:
ITO crowd school on little lot
or two where actually sometimes our
streets have to be closed in order to
let the children play is not good pol
icy. II school has plenty of ground
space it then has room to build adj
ditional departments as time may
bring the demand for them, and can
furnish enough space for physical
exercises; playground plots can be
provided and ventilation will be bet
ter"

education has been forming grad
ually as the big program of building
new schools and making additions to
schools has been going on, and the
members have been following costs
