l have been more than willing to
stay put and expect to live and die
here. Some eight years ago 1t seemed
to me that there was place In Biz

Demand Is Growing
1T is surprising to know how the
demand for my line has grown since
[ opened up few years back. There
is no telling how far the demand
will go. as 1t is stimulated by ma
tion-wide advertising in the. dailies,
weeklies and monthlies. and there are
special papers devoted to the kos
daking fans 1t simply shows the
power of continuous advertising of a
Worthwhile thing. I haven't the fig

business here In Birmingham is phe-
nomenal.
This is more and more the day of
specialists and specialized shops, and

some extent kodakng is seasonal.
and that is why 1 added gifts to my

gether."

great deal of interest has been man
Tested locally IN the coming cam
paign. w. F. Wilcox, B. NJ Allen,
Charles g. Davis, president of the
Birmingham Automobile club; NJ. e.
Morris and others are working in the
interest of the amendment and VIII
be present at the Tuesday meeting.
Mr.. Davis points out the relation
ship which the bond issue bears to
the tourist travel that is being sought
for Birmingham. declaring that with
out the the contemplated hard-sur-
faced roads leading to and from the
city it Is not likely that local bust
ness men will benefit from the travel.
Programme Outlined
The programme for the one-day
convention has not yet been worked
out in detail, though Mr.. Cramton
has outlined 1t to some extent. 1t Is
reported that the state highway COM
mission will meet here on its sched-
uled date of November 81. Chairman

pitla here second to none in the
country. The hospital will be stand
ardized according to the rules of the
American Hospital association, in
dorsed by the American College of
Surgeons. As prescribed by these
rules a staff will be chosen to gov
ern the hospital and all reputable
physicians and surgeons will practice
in it.
This is to be the first hospital in
Birmingham under the control of one
of the evangelical denominations. 1t
is believed ii will meet long felt
want, and the fact that the Baptists
expect to expand the hospital o. rap
idly as possible until II equals any
other hospital in the south Is reas-
surfing In the light of their experience
with hospitals in other cities. The
Baptists own a hospital in Memphis
that cost s1,5o0O0o. They own one
in Dallas that cost as much as the
Memphis hospital They also own
large institutions in st. Louis, Little
Rock, Houston, Atlanta and many
smaller institutions in the smaller
cities OF the south. In round num-
bers the Baptists of the south have
S10,000,000 invested In hospitals, with
the start Just made.
The property of the Birmingham
infirmary is at Tuscaloosa avenue
and Charles street, West End. 1t is
beautiful property and we'll
equipped at present. With some i'm
provements, 1t is felt It will offer
hospital advantages second to none.

1t was said that the car was going
toward Roebuck at a fair rate of
speed when the driver, whose name
could not be ascertained, apparently
lost control, the automobile plunging
off the side of the road opposite the
entrance to the home of Mr.. Frye.
There is curve several hundred
feet beyond the scene of the acct
dent turning to the right. The car,
striking a fence Ct the side of the
road, bounded off, crashing head on
into tree, throwing the occupants
against the windshield.
Man Unconscious
The driver attempted to back his
car from the tree before help came
from passing motorists. It was then
noticed that one of the men was UNI
conscious. He was taken from the
seat and laid on the grass o the
side of the road, it being thought at
first that he was dead. Information
was later given by one of the unin-
jured parties In the accident that the
unconscious man was ]. r. Amos,
and that he was an employee of the
American Cast Iron Pipe company at
Acipco, where he resided since COM

JOSEPH J. WEATHERLY, JR.
After a long. long time. this small
chap discovered that The Age Herald
had snapped his picture. and came in
to get his crisp new dollar bill.
His name Is Joseph ]. Weatherly,
Jr.. and when Mr.. Baird. the pho
tographer, saw him at Avondale park,
Joseph was equipped with two whole
flags to show his enthusiasm that the
President of the United States was in
town.
He is the small son of Mr.. and Mrs.

North Magnolia street He has the
distinction of already having won
two prizes at a better baby show
when he was six months old. He not
only copied prize for being the
best ail-round baby boy-and good
but took the prize for being the
finest boy shown of any age.
And there were 1000 children pres
emit
Now. say The Age Herald pho
tographer is not a good Judge when
he lays eyes on somebody!
The latest news about Joseph is
that he is just crazy to go to school,
and he would, too, If he could. But
he's only five years old.
The moving picture camera took
his picture when he got the two
prizes, and SO most everybody in the
world has seen him, though they
wouldn't recognize him now, of
course, since he's SO big.
You'll hear from Joseph again one
of these days. You know why?. A
boy that can save his money is bound

COOPERATION PLAN
Commissioner Harrison viii
Present Draft to Com
mission Tuesday

Draft of the "oo-operation and CO.
ordination plan" devised by William
l.. Harrison, associate commissioner,
will probably be presented to the
members of the city commission at
the regular Tuesday session. This
plan would institute an advisory COM
mittee to the commission composed
Of representatives from each civic or
ganization in the city.
Mr.. Harrison proposes to have this
committee meet at stated intervals
with the city commission in the coun-
ell chamber at the city hall to confer
and advise with the commission as
to problems that may arise
The city commission is said to be
favorably inclined to this plan of Mr..
Harrisons. who considers It to be
one of the biggest steps toward the
fulfillment of his platform of Coop
Grafton and coordination" He is
confident that 1t will be beneficial to
the city.
Adoption Forecasted
There is also a possibility of the
second proposal planned by Mr.. Har-
rison being brought to the attention
of the commission meeting on Tues
day.
Mr.. Harrison is planning that the
department of meter inspection shall
be developed so as to be of benefit
to the public. He plans to employ as
head of this proposed new depart
ment a technically trained expert who
will have from three to six assist
ants under his supervision. The de-
partment according to his plans, will
be equipped with necessary scientific
instruments for meter testing of all
kinds.
This proposal also is said to be
receiving favorable comment among
the commi ssioners.
