WHAT THEY SAY
By BILL THOMPSON

The question was: What chance do you thing Birmingham has got in getting one of the government hos spitals located here?
 'f Where asked: Here and there down. town.
 The answers were:
 Dr. c. Ross Sper, state supervisor of the United States public health department: ''Birminghams chances are exceedingly good. Tt is an excel lent location for the hospital, both from a health standpoint and from the fact that it is centrally located"
 William Sell, Farley building: 'Bir- mingham is good place for the hos pital and it should be built at once. Y During the past few months I have come up against a good many eX- amples of why we need such a hos pital and if the conditions could be gotten before the public I almost believe would erect such a hospital themselves"
 George Orbin, ex-service man, con- infirmary; T am not in such a bad fix myself, but l think we need a ! government hospital here about as bad as anyone possibly could think that Birminghams chances are good and that we should hurry ui and assure Uncle Sam that we are ready and willing to donate the site and comply with the other provisions that are necessary before the hospital will be built by the government

Equipment of Vocational De- !: partment of County High
 !: School Transferred v

z Establishment of a vocational depart 9pent at the Corner school to be under She direction of Smith Hughes teacher Twas authorized by the Jefferson county epoard of education at it's meeting yes- 1erday.
 2 All equipment in the department at the Pefferson County High school will be Transferred to the Corner school. Rec- gpmmendation that this be done was made 6y Dr. N. R. Baker, county superin- Nbndent of education, in view of the fact fhat the teacher now employed at the @High school had resigned to accept a promotion.
 : It was pointed out that the Corner cschool being strictly an agricultural ncmmunity, more effective work could be done there at the present time.
 In order to establish this department whe patrons of that section will erect a Mpur-room addition to the present build- Eng which will cost approximately s6,oVO. Trhe board of education will allow Small amount to the cost of the building. At the beginning of the sixth month
 
 en enrolment of 25.s04. or this number H5,0S2 were white and 9043 negroes. Ac- cording to the report of pr. Baker for the month of March there are { 24,125 pupils in elementary departments and t779 in high school.
 Attendance in rural districts is being sustained better than ever before, he stated, which is largely due to an in- creasing public sentiment for longer xerms, and especially to desire to com ply with the attendance laws. The at- tendance officer. while not able to be cmnpresent, is accomplishing great deal in the way of securing regular at Tendance, according to the county super fntendent.
 Total receipts for the month of March amounted to s15S, ,332.77, the report re- cites, while disbursements were yl46,- s4s.S6 leaving balance on hand of $l1,- SS91.

RED-HEAD CLUBS MEMBERSHIP GROWS
Meeting Called for Friday Eve- ning-Many Prominent
 Men Joining

All red heads, which includes ex- red heads, are cordially invited to be present at the meeting at the Red Head club Friday night at the Civic Association. The meeting will take place at o'clock, and the invitation is extended to all men qualified by the possession of red hair or who can prove that they have been the pos sessor of red hair in the past.
 Organizers of this unique club for red-headed men say the idea has met with considerable popularity. Red head clubs have arieady been estab- lished in Washington, New York and other large cities where they have proven quite a peleasent method Of getting together oongenial spirits for social relaxation. In Birmingham the idea has taken hold among men of much prominence. At the meeting Tuesday five members from the Bir- mingham Sabers were enrolled. Judge Alex c. Birch was among those pres ent Tuesday, and has been accorded pidCe Ol SpcCldl pIoihiHSuSSJ dS thc established fact that he is 8 direct descendant of Red Douglas of Scot land places him in the most exhalted ranks of the red heads. Judge Birch though not read-headed at present, was once the possessor of fiery hair of undoubted hue.
 In making brief preliminary study of famous red heads of the past, the club has unearthed number of fa- nous men. Napoleon was redheaded. was red-headed when young, and was even called Red" in school, but premature grayness cheated red heads from having the fact recorded in history. Members of the club thought that the fiery speech of Patrick Henry, and particularly the immortal words, Give me liberty or give me death,'' sounded red headed, and looking up the facts they found that Patrick Henry was blessed with locks of unusual fieryness. It was even a recorded fact that during the orators famous oration on liberty it was thought necessary to pull down a certain shade which was casting a strong, red glare on the speakers s heavy suit of red hair.
 c. l.. Harold of the Civic Association has proved himself a strong advocate of the safety first idea; his eau tious disposition being revealed in his announcement yesterday that he had ordered 100 extra fire extinguishers in ing of the. Red Head club at the as- sociation Friday.
 The club announces that an outing for Sunday in automobiles will be one of the subjects of discussion Fri day night.

i to success, declared A. Apple, who sub stitued for Ivan B. Nordham of the Ivan B. Nordham company, who was unable to attend the convention. Advertising must be backed by a quality product and keen sales workers among the bakery forces and the retailers, however.
 Advertising at all times was advo- cated by r. o. Stone during the dis cussion of the subject of the Value of Advertising" The man who adver- tised spasmodically will not get the best results, he declared.
 A. E. Rogers of Atlanta, in indors- ing MT. Stones statements, went back to his talk of the morning and went on record as favoring state laws pro- hibiting the use of tobacco by any em- ploye of bakery delivering goods.
 WRAPPING OF BREAD
 c. A. Abeles of the state board of health discussed the wrapping of bread. He declared the Alabama law for bread wrapping was going to be enforced and that the cooperation of the bakers was sought. He said the selling of un- wrapped bread exposed the ultimate consumer to many dangers of infec- tion which are cut off by the wrapping protection.
 Upon the request of Mir. Abeles it was decided by President McGough to name a committee of Alabama bakers to confer with MT. Abeles in regard to a Just and adequate law in regard to bread wrapping.
 At the banquet held in the Tutwiler ballroom last night the gratitude of the delegates for the hospitality ex- ham was expressed in positive terms.
 LOVING CUP FOR M'GOUGH
 Tribute to the work of MT. McGough nrcr nr1 1trrtt. 41..L L..1r 70 L 4. east was paid by F. O. Stone in pre- senting beautiful silver loving cup given to the retiring president by the members of the association. Mrs. Me cough was also remembered with huge basket of roses.
 R. c. Thompson of the American Baking company, who has been largely responsible for the success of the con vention, as members expressed it, was presented with gold handled pocke: knife in recognition of his efforts and work
 C. H. Van Cleef was toastmaster of the evening. He called on a number of delegates and visiting members Of the baking industry, who expressed their appreciation of the hospitality shown them here. Dr. Frank Willis Barnett enlivened the meeting with d tale of certain pink pajamas worn at a Rotary club luncheon.
 J. B. Everidge of Columbus, Ga, was called on for a prize waltz, which he demonstrated with the aid of one of the young women attending the con vention
 After the speakers had all responded to MT. Van Cleefs toasts the floor was cleared for dancing, which lasted until about 1 o'clock this morning.
 Every visitor was unanimous in praising the hospitality extended them during their stay in Birmingham and voiced the wish that they would re- turn to the city again soon
