WANTS MOBILE TO. BE A FREE PORT

Frederic l. Thompson, Alabama member of the shipping board is an ardent advocate of the development of the port of Mobile and he wants Mobile to be free port. Answering a recent letter from l.. Sevier. presi- dent of the Alabama Manufacturers association, Mr. Thompson has writ ten:
 T am particularly interested In your comment as to the port of Mo bile, and it Is especially gratifying to note that you as the head of the great Alabama Manufacturers Association representing what is the potential wealth of the state feel that Alabama should more completely and fully recognize the importance of Mobile to the state as whole.
 "The recent evidence of benefit rep resented in the reductions of rates on the Warrior for eastern seaboard shipment is but proof of what you say. The vast interests of Alabama could not be better served. in my judsment than in the complete free dom of the port of Mobile and its equipment to serve Alabama inter- ests to full, and adequate degree.

PAY OFF ABROAD
 IN J. s. CURRENCY
Western Union Company Will Forward Money to Gen.
 tral Europe

The Western Union Telegraph ments have been made to resume di- rect money transfer service to all points in Austria. Hungary, Czecho Slovakta. Jugo Slavla, Rumania, an6 Bulgaria. July 15.
 This service will be supplemen entary to its present direct cable money transfer service to Great Britain, France and other European countries This rearranged service is on an en- tirely new basis in that remittances for persons in Austria and the new states formerly comprised In the Aus trlan Empire as well as for points in Rumania and Bulgaria, be made in United States legal tender, dollars. In, other words $100 cabled to- say Vienna or Prague, will be paid at destination in United States currency instead of an equivalent amount of kronen as is usually the case in these countries.
 It is pointed out that since the payee abroad will receive American funds he will be in a position to convert them into local currency on the most advantageous terms since. the hanks In those countries will give a more favorable rate of ex- change than is available on this side
 In the event of nonpayment at destination the amount to be refund ed to the sender on this side will be the same IS the principal deposited, which is another advantage in the case of appreciated foreign currency which is dwindling in value.
 The Western Union Telegraph company believes that the opening of this new service should be of consid- erable convenience to people desir- ing to send money cheaply, quickly. safely and direct to their friends or relatives abroad

Retail Grocers and Butchers Request
 Sunday Closing

Petitions will be circulated among the retail grocers and butchers of the city by the Retail Grocers and Butchers association requesting the city commission to close all places of business in Birmingham on Sunday where groceries or fresh meats are handled. sold, kept for sale. or ex posed for sale, according to a decision made at the meeting of the associa- tion last night.
 The advertising campaign which the association expects to inaugural in the near future was discussed. I. Is planned to advertise extensively the service of the independent grocery stores and butchers.
 Communications were brought be- fore the association from organiza- tions in other Alabama cities. and 1t is the intention of the local body to organize state association as soon as there are enough local or ganizations in other cities.

 bacterial contamination is only
 too obvious. The next day that

 Can anyone of fair mind question the city's right to demand only the sale of food which Is fit for human ccnsumption?" asked pr. Dabney. 'Ts it unreasonable to demand fly screens for places and receptacles where foods are exposed for sale?
 Spreads Disease
 Actual experiments have shown that the average fly harhors on the outside of its body 1.250, 900 bacteria. At times there are many more than that number. Hence 1t Is easy to understand why the fly carries so much filth and spreads so much dis ease.
 ''Food laws of Birminghnm re-

 dust nnd insects. Refrigeration
 of meats and fish Is also re-
 quIred. Punishment aud fines are also provided for.
 There are no valid reasons why these laws should not be enforced, Our laws compare with those of Louisville. Richmond and Dallas, the three southern cities which lead in health matters. The difference is that the other cities enforce their laws.
 Typhoid Death Rate
 "A significant comparison is the typhoid death rate in Birmingham and Richmond Here it is 14.5 per 100000 population, while Richmond enjoys rate of only 35 per 100 0o0, about one fourth of ours.

 Negligence of soda fountain em- ployes in majority of such places in the city in failing to sterilze utensils Is responsible for disease spread. pr. Dabney said. Dangers from this practice were shown by the statement that the organism causing a loathsome social disease can live for one-half hour on the moist rim of a drinking glass.

Paving, sewers and schools were to be paid for with $25,O00 of the money derived from the sale. The re- maining s5,O0O absorbed the floating debt. The history of these bonds shows they were sold to sundry per sons at 90 and upward.
 As time went on, the Town of High lands was annexed to Birmingham. It was the portion of the city around Five Points. The bonds were taken over by the city. The redemption date was set at May 15, 1921, the is- suing date being May 15, 1851.
 At yesterday afternoons meeting of the city commission. these bonds. with the exception of No. 5, were burned by the city clerk as provided by law. No. has not yet been pre- scented for payment. The bonds are signed by MT. McDavid as intendant. which was a title corresponding to that of mayor, being conferred upon heads of towns operating under the general act and not under charter, and by s. H. Warden as treasurer.

During the 30 years of the life of the bonds, interest amounting to s54 900 has been paid out. They were authorized under act of February 5, 1891.
