Again Atlanta shows greater valua- tions, but Birmingham shows more homes being built for the masses of her people, Birmingham continues to stand forth as a city where those who come decide to stay and where they wish to rear their children in church and school atmosphere.
 Nor do we envy the sturdy cities of Texas that alone seem to have the lead on us In their case also it is observable that values are less than in some other cities issuing fewer permits. They also have folk who have decided to make their per- manent home where there is opportunity and the spirit of the go-ahead.
 The man, the woman who feels like halting in city where there is such a verve and courage as is in the Birmingham mass needs bit of mental and spiritual awakening. He, she who halts on joining the go-ahead crowd needs change from leaden feet to the winged ones that others are wearing
 There has been no bread line in Bir- mingham. There have been no soup houses Our steel mills at Fairfield and Ensley have given and are giving a better account of themselves than those of any rival section in this country.

For Good of

CATCH the spirit of your town. Watch N your step lest you find yourself a croaker among the brave that build and march on confident that what was once shall be again greater and more glorious still. Has it not been so2 Birmingham of today, in which you live is the answer.
 We had the pessimists of early days who sucked their thumbs and raised their own bile whenever the old rolling mill did not belch smoke The rolling mill went, but huge steel works at Ensley and Fair field shed thousand times more light on the industrial present and horizon than the rolling mill ever did,
 Choke off these fellows, who, with no knowledge on the subject, tell you that they say that Ensley and Fairfield are going to close down." Ask them the re- liability of their information. See them duck and run.
 Fine, fine has been the real spirit of Bir- mingham It has been seen in building churches and schools as never before. Is not that hope? Is not that trust in the Creator? Fine the building of the Ma sonic temple. The Masons of Alabama see a bigger and bigger state and city ahead. They are building to keep pace with the majesty of that progress.
 In May Birmingham began work on more building enterprises than any city of anything like it's size in the sixteen south ern states with the exception of Houston. In June it's structural operations were again exceeded only by Houston and Gal weston.
