ST. PAUL'S MISSION | AGREAT SUCCESS
Father CoyIe Announces That All Services Were Very
 Fully Attended

The mission at St. Pau1s church con ducted by Fathers Pathe and Moriarity of the Redemptorist order was one of the most successful of the many great missions conducted here. There was standing room only from the very first night and on the many nights when all the seats in the body of the church and in the gallery were taken, many stood and knelt in the aisles and in the rear of the edifice
 The early morning services each day at o'clock and at 8 o'clock drew large crowds. The altar rails were filled many times at these services.
 Practically the entire membership of the parish approached sacraments during the mission week and many Catholics from outside parishes took advantage of the opportunities afforded by the pres sence of the Sons of St. Alphonsus to go to confession and communion.
 There will be special mission sermon today at last mass, which closes the period At 7:3O o'clock tonight the mis- sion will close with solemn and impress sive ceremonies. The Rosary will be re- cited by the priests and people. Imme- diately following the rosary an instruc- tive special sermon will be delivered. Then follows renewal or Daptismai VowS' papal blessing and solemn benedfction.
 Father Coyle, pastor of St. Pauis, feels especially gratfied at the great success that attended this years mission and anticipates lasting results. Many addl- 'tions have been made to the various parish societies, the Altar, the Hoiy Name and the Children of Mary.
 /. Many non-Catholics attended the serV- ices night after night and were lm- pressed by the scholarly and clear pres entation of the great Christian truths.

Community Club ExtoIIS Mudd's Move Against Lynch

One of the main points in good citizenship is the Americanization of the alien in this country, stated Maj. William T. Morgan in talk to mem bers of the Community club yesterday afternoon in the ballroom of the Southern club.
 Approximately 2sO,0Oo return each year to their native countries, he stated, and all of them take only hard When they come over here, they are allowed to mix with the bad citizens, and as result they sometimes are
 made bad men when, with little training, they might have been made good citizens.
 | In concluding, he urged the mem- bers to talk to the aliens in their midst, stating they would be better men for having done it, and the alien will be a better American.
 Frank P. Glass spoke briefly of his recent tour of Europe and things as he found them there. He told of busi- ness conditions, which he stated were closely connected with this country d'iu ElOW IdCk Ol buSlilSSo thCiC "e~S felt over here. The speaker was loudly cheered at the close of his talk.

Mudd, acting as president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, has inaugurated movement to get measures adopted which will largely prevent the occur renee of lynching in the south.

this year, had been even better than during January.
 '1f there IS any such thing as bad business, 1t hasn't come our way" said MT. Rosenberger, and believe that lot of this so-calied hard times is caused by talking of 1t. The prices in leather goods have decreased about 15 per cent during the past three months.
 Most every manufacturer of trunks and other leather goods has been handicapped by strikes for the past six months. These strikes are just now being settled. So the manufacturers are just begin ming to get out late orders and so business with them and also with us has been very good. l have dozens of back orders on file for goods that l cannot get because the manufacturers, because of strikes, have been unable to sup ply the demand"
 GOOD AS EVER
 Morris Levy of the Levy Broth CTS Drug company, Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street, yesterday stated that business with them had been holding up about the same for several months.
 we have noted no great changes either for better or for worse" said Mir Levy. "and I believe that Birmingham is holding up better than any other city in the entire country. It is true that the em- ployes of a great many of the d. ct ri ict n work part of the time, yet if we will get down close into the situa- tion, we will find that the rail- roads are working their employees about two- thirds of the time, thus paying them about as much as store clerks, salesmen and other people have received all along"
 MENTAL ANGLE
 Hard times is simply a disease of the mind and if person is optimistic, he certainly won't be hard up for long," said Paul Tar rant of the Gi1christ -Tarrant Drug company, Fourth avenue and Twentieth street.
 There is untold wealth in this state Millions of dollars are in- vested in Birmingham. If an in- dustry or manufacturer closes for while, don't take it as a sign that hard times have come and will be with us forever
 This is not the first period of depression that has come over the country. It is only a slight one now and I firmly believe that it will soon pass over. It is a golden opportunity for the man who will take a chance. The people who have money right now and who are building and investing their money in Birmingham are surely the ones to be the gathers.
 But there is no lacking. Peo- pie are sitting steady in the boat, watching for their chance and when the cloud blows over, you will see that they will be sitting more safely than anybody else.
 Worms don't crawl up to the hen. She goes out and scratches for them.''

INCOME TAX CLERKS
 SEE FROZEN FACES

The most solemn obligation of citi- zens to the government has been found. It is making income tax re- turns!
 A smiling face looking through the bars at the offices of the internal rev enue collector is yet to be found, according to the deputies in charge Of the work.
 Tt Is all the same one of the clerks in charge said yesterday, whether the amount is large or small, the man or woman on the other side of the window is solemn, unusually so.
 Smiling faces bob up frequently In other phases of our work, but they are conspicuously absent in connec- tion with income tax collections. The great American sense of humor is sub- dued and crushed under the formidable tax blank"

Several Birmingham merchants yesterday declared that business with them during the past month had been even better than during the same period of last year.
 Merchants of Birmingham did more business during the latter part of 1919 and until about the middle of 1920 than has been done before in any one period in the past 10 years" said Arnold Mas berg of the Arnold Masberg Drug company Fourth avenue and Twentieth street.
 q do not think there is any cause for the Birmingham mer- chants to worry" continued MT. Masberg. '1 was born near Bir- mingham and have lived here prac- tica1ly all my life. I have been in business here a long time and was in business here | ore prices be- gan to advance along about 1916 and 1917.
 WORRY UNNECESSARY
 '"rhe so-ealled fly by night con- cerns who do not expect to stay : in business long may have some cause to feel worried when little depression hits a community, but the real business houses who deal honestly with the people and who have clear-headed; thinking busi- ness men at the helm, need have no cause for worry.
 Business has fallen off a little in my stores. But I am far from being alarmed. In fact I feel glad about it. Because I knew it was coming and I was prepared for it. A business man cannot compare his receipts these days with the same days of the same months of last year. Why? Simply because these are normal times. You may think not, but they are. The busi- ness man must compare his daily receipts now with his daily earn ings back in 1916, for those were also normal times, while during 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920 were not normal times. Any business that is properly managed and compared on the above scales will, I think, prove that conditions right now not only are not bad, but are very good"
