Undertakes to present in 4 plain

fessor Tyler has managed out of this
unpromising material to construct a

For Good of
 the Community

A VISITOR to Birmingham who is mak N ing quiet survey of conditions, de and the like for the benefit O. coterie of men of means desirous of ac urate knowledge of the district from tn of the inside, made this remark
 Some time ago I was in Philadel- phia. That is large city. Natur- ally I looked for and expected to find a lot of apartment houses. They were not there. I was told that there are fewer than half a dozen modern apartment houses in that great metropolis. /
 The reason? Philadelphia is city of homes. It has the home atmos- phere. Inhabitants of Philadelphia are persons who regard 1t as per manent abiding place and they have rooted themselves into the Quaker soil. %.g ss44.. ~~s-a.,fs
 see that there are few apartment houses in Birmingham compared with a>nearby southern city. Their absence speaks more eloquently for Birmingham than the many apart ment houses speak for that other city. The absence of the apartment house is the same as saying that citizens of Birmingham like homes, that they occupy homes, that they have built homes and that the trend here is for tha family rOof-trea.
 I also noticed that beautiful trees stand in front of practically every home and see by the variety of these trees and the difference in their ages that they have been planted by the in- dividual rather than by developers and land companies. When man plants tree in front of the house which he occupies it is evident that he regards that place as his home and that he is preparing for permanency.
 I would rather invest in a city where the home idea prevails than one where the population inhabits apartment houses, for the former is place where men have confidence in the future and the latter is one where they roost over night not knowing and not much caring ap- parently where they will be on the morrow. /
 In by-gone days have seen droves of turkeys driven from Tennessee and Kentucky farms to the Christ mas market in distant cities. Each night the turkeys roosty in different trees and on different fences. All the time they are getting closer and closer to the axe. A town with apart ment dwellers reminds me of those turkeys going they know not where and uncertain what the next day will bring forth. a The Birmingham founders had wa. # doing we'll the simple. things which fel o their hand to do in laying out the corr md cotton fields into town. Charle jim. founder of the First National ban] md builder of the first large brick struc ure in the city, planted trees all up ant Town Twentieth street from the Louis file and Nashville depot to Woodrow Wilson park.
 In planting these elms Mr.. Linn wa ooking to the future. He had planted limself in Birmingham. He wanted t.
