Evans and Jones were the only team
stars who failed to enter Jones was
resting for the day, while Chick was
prsetieing on nearby course. Bobby
Jones came in for added glory in the
afternoon, when he won the long dis
tance driving contest from the leading
singers of the game. Against the
wind on a soft field his three attempts
+ averaged 22S yards. He led off at 225,
cropped to $50 and then fell back TO
sis each wallop sailing straight down
me course, despite the fact that a
motion picture camera was whirring
cnly few feet away.

Bob Hunter. of California. and Nc
phah OF Boston, were next. with an
aserage of 220, while Albert Seckel, of
Chicago, finished fourth at 2f8. The
long-distance crash of the after
neon, however, came from Bob Gard
ner who sent his last attempt 24S
ysrds, seven yards beyond any other
drive made. Guilford and Ouinlet both
had drives that sailed out of bounds,
but neither came UP to Gardner's lead
ing blow
The average drives of the leading
hitters were not above 21O yards,
which shows how heavily soft course,
against a slight wind, can cut down
the vast ranges you read about over
baked-out surfaces.

most OF the stars will be in under the

1t is the practitioner of internal
medicine who, needing alcohol in his
practice and clinical experience too
great to be ignored, stands for the
continued employment of the drug.
that alcohol is in no sense a true
stimulant to the circulation in healthy
persons. Given in such diluted form so
that it cannot act as local irritant
to the stomach. it produces no change
in the pulse rate. If the dose is large
enough to cause any appreciable
change in the activity of the circula-
ton, it is in the nature of depression
rather than stimulation. Alcohol does
however, produce very marked altera
tions in the distribution OF the blood,
a g is seen in the flushing of the capil-
laries of the skin after its moderate
use
THE beneficial action following the
use of alcohol in disease and senility
when it is thought to act as "A stimu-
liant, probably depends upon the i'm
proved distribution of blood it pro-
duces. just as the use of the sponge
bath or cold plunge in typhoid fever
readjusts the circulation and restores
justice to the drug to discuss the
harmful results of an overdose. am
inclined TO believe that the aIJ to d.
gestion, claimed by so many friends
of alcohol. is due to its irritating
effect in the stomach and increasing
the flow of the digestive fluids"

DR.. Copeland Advocates Use
of Alcohol in Certain Cases
Local Physician States That Practitioners of Internal
Medicine Who Needing Alcohol in His Practice
and Clinical Experience Too Great to Be Ig-
nored, Stands For Its Continued Use

According to Or. NJ A. Copeland
of this city the interest of the medi-
cal profession, aroused by the ques-
tionnaire mailed out to over $4,000
physicians throughout the country
relative to the use of alcohol as a
therapeutic agent. is said to be per
haps greater than that aroused by
any question on which the medical
profession has been asked to act in
recent years.
The feeling of many physicians on
this question is evinced by their ex-
tensive comment on the QUESTIONABLE
which. it Is said, has TO some extent
complicated and delayed the tabula-
ton of returns of the forms mailed
out
Advocating tho use of alcohol as
therapeutic agent DIR. Copeland made
the following statement yesterday
afternoon:
ION account of the bitter feeling
at the present time against alcohol l
refer to this drug with great deal
of hestancy: especially SO since some
of the most prominent surgeons OF
the country have admitted that they
do not need 1t In their practice. Al
cohol has long been a most abused
drug and for that reason it VIII be
necessary to place IL under strict reg
ulations, as are the opiums and GER
tain other drugs, and when any doc
tor Is found abusing his rights his
license should be cancelled.

line. The league can Justly feel proud
of the fact that 1t has seen Mr. Ham

his career a success in the theatre.

Dissatisfied With
The Action of Board
Board of Revenue Opposed to
Paying for Paving Highway
in City Limits-DeIegation
Presents Claims of District

Resolutions instrueting Claude
Rogers, county highway engineer, to
confer with city officials relative to
joint construction by the city and
county of a two and one-half mile
strip Of paved roadway between Hell
ena Station and Fairfield at an esti-
mated cost of approximately $685.
600, were passed by the board of rev.
enue at its meeting yesterday.
Passage of the resolution followed
considerable discussion over paving
of the road between the board and a
delegation of citizens headed by Mai.
j. f. Decker OF Fairfield.
Paving of the road was urged on
the ground also that between S25,-
100000 and $4,000 600 has been spent
in development in the Fairfield dis
trict during the past five years on
which large taxes are paid and that
not a dollar has been spent by the
county in permanent roads in that
section.
Members of the delegation declared
that it is unfair to require them to
pay taxes without any money being
spent for improvement of their road
ways. A number of Birmingham
physicians, among whom were Drs
James McLester, Cunningham Wilson
and c. j. Mcdonald, urged paving OF
the road on the grounds that num-
Der OF patients are carried daily to
the Fairfield hospital and that it is
dangerous To them 10 have to be CON
veyed over this road as 1t is at pres

D. c. Ball, chairman of the boarI'
told the delegation that the entire
road is within the city limits of BIZ
mingham and Fairfield and that 1t is
one Of the roadways that should be
maintained jointly by the city ana
county and not by the county entire

Jerry Gwin declared tina he did not
believe in spending 66 per cent Of the
bond money on roads inside the city
limits but that IL the board would
spend one-third OF It inside the city
that would be sufficient to build

Declaring that he was convinced
that Jefferson county will pay APP
proximately 100000 too much for
construction of approximately eight
miles on the North Bessemer road
between Bessemer and Fairfield by
carrying out its contract of April %,
1920, with the Dunn Construction
company, Jerry Gwin introduced a
resolution before the board of reve-
nue. at its meeting yesterday calling
on the board not to proceed with the
contract. The motion was declared
lost for want of a second
In support of his resolution. Mr..
Gwin stated that the difference IN
construction cost for excavation work
alone between the present time and
the spring OF 1920 on which the Dunn
company estimates are based would
wipe out the per cent premium
amounting to S275So. which ". R. J.
Dunn, vice president of the concern
has agreed to pay for the bonds.
Refused to Submit
A second reason for this resolution,
he stated, was that Dunn had refused
to submit the matter of estimate of
construction costs on the road TO a
committee of three engineers to be
composed of Claude Rogers county
highway engineer for Jefferson coun-
ty, second engineer to be chosen by
Dunn and a third engineer to be
chosen by those two engineers.
Gwin is the second member OF the
board to oppose acceptance of the
Dunn bid by the board and to con-
struction Of the Bessemer project &C
cording to the terms of the original
contract, Thomas E. Huey. who voted
against the acceptance of the bid, Civ
ing as his reason for doing 50, the
receipt of a table of figures from the
county engineer which he said shows
that carrying out of the contract
would cost the county approximately
$4,000 more than it could be con-
structed for If the contract were re-
let under the price OF materials and
labor as they exist at present as
against thoses existing in the spring
of 1920 when the contract was let.
offset Difference
Other members of the board. who
voted for acceptance of the bid and
carrying out of the work continue
to maintain that under the terms of
the bid, the Z per cent premium, the
saving of interest on 6 per cent bonds
which would have to be used for
financing the project il 1t were re-
let and the saving of damages claimed
by the Dunn company will offset the
difference. in construction costs on
the contract.
w. R. J. Dunn. vice president of
the Dunn Construction company, was
out OF the city yesterday and could
not be seen with reference to the
matter. He is not expected back for
several days, according to informa-
tion at his office.
