Hardings Were Delighted
 With City's Hospitality
Those Who Were With Nations Chief Executive and the First Lady of the Land Say Distinguished Visitors Were Delightfully."- Impressed
 With Birmingham and Its People

Those who were most intimately associated with President and Mrs. Harding during their visit to Bir- mingham were unanimous yesterday In their declaration that the distin- guished guests had departed Wednes- day night with most delightful i'm pressions of Birmingham's hospi- tality.
 The Presidents public appearances during the day were naturally stren- uous and tiresome and he and the members of his party seemed to take keen enjoyment in tho informal af- fairs arranged for the remainder of the evening. The President won new friends by many gracious acts which demonstrated his humanhess and tact.
 For instance, whom a largo cake baked in his honor by Birmingham woman was presented to him during a private dinner at the Tutwiler someone made the suggestion that on account of its sise and the few at the dinner party the President might present the cake to the Mercy Home The President did not take to the idea. He said that the cake was baked In honor of the President and the President wanted to eat a piece. After the party had partaken only the top section had been removed. Now, said the President, the Mercy Home children should be permitted to enjoy some of this cake And 1t was done.

Buying Stamps in Hartford
 Defeats Purpose Here

One thousand dollars has been raised by mailing Red Cross Christ mas seals to various residents of New Britain, according to an announce ment made by the committee this morning and at least sl 000 more is needed before this city reaches it's quota. The mail sale as it has been called, was conducted by the simple method of taking a list of names and mailing the seals, requesting that checks for payment of same be re- turned to Mrs. Maurice Stanley. Many have been sold by the children going out and selling them at a cent apiece. Seals were sent to about $500 local people.
 Letters asking that the sale of seals be taken up in their organiza- tions have been sent to all local fac tories and also to the various societies in the city.
 Of the money raised in this man. ner, S5 per cent. is used to defray the expenses of tuberculosis relief in New Britain Over 100 ex-servicemen alone have been helped during the past year by money raised in this manner. Many lives of babies are saved by the distribution of tuber- culosis tested milk and by the work of the Visiting Nurse association and it's free clinics, all of which are financed to large extent by money derived from the sale of these seals.
 Another valuable way in which this work of tuberculosis prevention is carried on through money received from the sale of Christmas seals, is in the fresh air camp maintained under the direction of Miss Caroline E. Bartlett, at Burlington, during the summer.
 Local aid is hampered somewhat in this city by the fact that New Britain people buy their seals in Hartford while visiting in that city. This helps the national organization to get it's IS per cent. for national work, maintaining sanitariums, etc, but gives the other S5 per cent. to the work in Hartford, and New Britain loses what it it justly entitled to.
 It is understood that the Rotary club has tatken up the question of getting in back of this movement and boosting the sales.
