Pike and Houston counties were also said to be in good shape.
 MT. Davis said the road south of Albany and Decatur to Hartselle was under contract.
 MT. Van Valkenburgh compliment ed the new automobile ferry system at Decatur. which he declared was a model and the cost of use nominal. .
 MT. Stiefelmeyer said the bad spots between Blount Springs and Garden City would soon be eliminated, the state highway department having undertaken that work.

In that event, we will be glad to make the routing by Birmingham and these points official.

Her, head struck the side of the car, cut ting a painful eash. She was taken to a hospital, where she is receiving tbe best of attention.
 zamora's delegation arrived at noon yesterday and found the city ex- travagantly decorated and great reception for all visitors. Thousands of dollars have been spent on electric displays especially along Arabian way" which is a blaze of light at might.
 The carnival spirit is much in evidence among the crowds. All street cars are kept off the down. town streets so that the Shrine has full sway on sidewalks and in streets. Des Moines citizens have entered heartily into the spirit of the ooca- sion and are assisting the local temple in making the affair such @ success. Last night zamora temple, led by the crimson suits, went on eerenading tour and attracted great applause everywhere they went.
 Alladin temple, to which President Harding belongs, is making a notable showing. Dick Ball said today, after seeing Boston win an erratic game from the Cubs in Chicago Sunday, the Southern league looks good % him. Byrd Haley is permanently cured of the roof garden habit after paying Sb for a sandwich served with song in Chicago.
 Sam Foley caused a neaer stampede here when he was mistaken for an escaped bear. it being the first ap- pearance of a drum major in Des Moines with the high fur hat which has already made sam famous in Bir- mingham.

Facts were presented at meeting of the executive committee named to conduct campaign to relieve suf- fering which proved a revelation to many. The condition Is not confined to any one district or to any one class of people, 1t was shown. A careful survey by the Red Crosss and a corps of trained workers shows that clerks, bookkeepers. laborers Of all classes as well as miners are among those in dire need.
 The committee plans to see
 tlsnt there is no living on charity,
 no pauperisation. Where menu
 bers of the family cnn work,
 they must work. Where work
 can be secured at any figure or
 price, 1t must be taken to help
 supply the necessary food.
 Most of the assistance will he
 on the form of loan with low
 rate of interest to be repaid when
 work is secured. Only sufficient
 food to maintain health Is to be
 provided. While emergency ef-
 forts will be directed to see that
 no one suffers from hunger, the
 main work will be one of sending
 
 get work and of returning people
 tA homes in other sections of the
 state If they can be taken care
 of there.
 Undisputed facts presented at the meeting showed that hundreds of families had not one days food on hand, that many of them had actually gone hungry and that with thousands SUI out of employment, the situa- ton would daily grow worse.
 Must Raise, Money
 Comprehensive plans were made for a campaign to be launched next week to raise the large sum of money needed. It was declared that temoor. ary supplies could be secured until that time in order that the work might he planned and the people &C., qrainted with the true situation.
 R. A. Porter; In charge of supplies and distribution. was authorized to take over a warehouse which would be loaned the committe. Trucks were offered by Loveman. Joseph and Loeb. Louis Pizitz and assurances given that others necessary would be donated.
 The Red Cross agreed to get addi- tional workers to pass upon the needs of the different applications, the Salvation Army was requested to secure additional help to aid in dis tributing the supplies.
 Nurses Ready
 To meet immediate needs for nurses 1t was declared that the ser- vices of the county and city nurses were available. M
 Every effort Is being made to help solve the unemployment situation. but 1t was declared to be necessary first to feed the hungry. All conn panies or individuals having jobs for men at any price are requested to mo- tify the Chamber of Commerce. Men seeking employment will not report there, but will give their names to the city employment bureau at the city hall. Steps are being taken to place as many families on farms as possible and efforts will be made to get those who can return home to do so. Transportation will be provided to needy persons having jobs else ore to those who can live by returning to the place from whence

 It is stated that the contract was awarded on June 20, and when ques- toned by Mir. Batson as to whether or not the contract was awarded on competitive bids were not necessary. that it was not. Members of the board contended that since the labor was to be furnished by the county ccmpetive bids were not necessary.
 MT. Batson declared that 1t was violation of the law to let contract for more than S250 except on com petitive bid. Minutes of the board of March 2S showed that a commit tee had been appointed by the board at a meeting held on that date to confer with John Copeland relative to the building of the two miles on the Trussville route.
 MT. Batsot contended that under the contract the board was paying S1 ton for slag used on this road, which he said is from 15 to 20 per cent higher than the market price, and that 25 cents is being paid per gallon for asphalt used in construc- tion of the road.

In Memory of Lex b Brown.

Our home was saddened a few
days ago upon receiving the an
nouncement of the death Of our son
Lex b. Brown which occurred at
Tuscon, Arizona, on Saturday, April
SVth. He was twenty eight years of
age and had lived all his early life
In this section. In 1913 he entered
the United States army and became
one OF the regulars in an infantry
fivision before the outbreak of the
world war, and when our nation en-
tered in 1917 he was sent to France
with the regular army. He was a
good soldier and was in the thickest
OF the fighting at various places and
suffered much harship. 1t was during
his active service in August 1918
that he, with others, was ordered
into a dug-out or trench for a period
of temporary rest, and while in this
position the Germans began to as
sail them with gas shells. They were
breathing the gas before they could
adjust their masks and some went
down in death there in the trench.
Some were not injured so badly,
while others and Lex B. Brown, our
son, was among the number were
seriously gassed and never perman-
emily recovered. He was sent by the
government from one hospital to an
other with the hope of restoring his
health, but relief was only temporary
and after liSgerlng for nearly three
years, his strength giving way he fin
ally could resist no more and passed
away. His body was brought home
May 5th and laid to rest in the Dill
lon cemetery May 9Th, attended by
the local post Of the American Legion
and large number of relatives and
friends.
"LeXie" as we called him in our
home was n good boy and an obed
lent and dutiful son. Our hearts are
sad and we shall miss him. We feel
that We have gwen him for his coun-
try and have made a great sacrifice.
AFTER the pain and sickness,
The tears are all wiped away,
After the flowers are gathered
No more of earth's decay.
After the night of darkness.
The shadows all flee away.
After the day OF sadness
Hope sheds her brightest ray.
Mr.. and Mrs r. w. Brown
