FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
 WILL SOON BE READY

installation of the new fire alarm system in Birmingham will be com pleted and ready for operation in all parts of Greater Birmingham by De- oember 15, according to Chief s. A. Middleton of the fire department The cost for Installing this system was ssO .000.
 At the present time the new system is in use in Ensley, Birmingham, Pratt City, North Birmingham and Cray mont, and poles have been placed and wire strung for West End, East Lake, East Birmingham, and Vivian. AS soon as the boxes are installed these sections will be ready to be cut In with the other parts of the city al- ready receiving the full benefits of the system.
 For the past few weeks the large operating rooms at the central fire station have been In use and six op- orators have been trained in the ma nipulation of the intricate system. and two are on duty at all times. The chief operator is George Crossett.
 At the completion of the system now under progress the city will have BIO fire alarm boxes scattered over Greater Birmingham and while these practically cover the entire city the lines have been planned with a view to regular and systematic expansion
 The system Is planned to care for the growth of the city for many years and 500 fire alarm boxes can be han died on the present basis.
 This new system is one of the most modern and up-to-date in the coun- try. and Chief Middleton urges all res idents to locate the box nearest thelr homes, as alarms turned in in this manner give quicker and more ac- curate report of the fire.

The growth of the automobile in- dustry has been one of the seven wonders of the business world. It has sprung up within the memory of the present generation. Many even among the middle aged recall that only few years back a motor -.car was looked upon as rich mans play thing.
 Take the case here in Birmingham. During the semi centennial one of the features in the queens parade was an old style car in which rode a couple dressed in quaint costumes. It was either the first or among the first automobiles to appear on our streets, and yet it was still able to make the rounds under its own pow CT (Some one stated that it had been brought to Birmingham by Sol Caheen.)
 It was with many head shakes that the first garage opened, and when an other. was added, some of the old timers predicted that they both would fnil, as there wasn't business enough for two such concerns in Birming- ham, and when three kept open ocors, even some of the more con servative business men thought that bankruptcy would be the end of all three. Now they are here by the score and scattered all over greater Birmingham.

The board, whose meeting was held at the Congress hotel in Chicago November 26, 27 and 2S. has charge of the national aspect of the League of Women Voters and has an over sight of the work of the league. The passage of the Sheppard, Towner bill, better known as the in fancy and maternity bill, marks the first great legislative work that has been brought about through the con- certed effort of all the women of all the organizations of the whole of the United States since the enfranchise- ment of women"

 The sum of $1,240,000 annually Is appropriated. for five years, for this is an experimental measure. Of that sum $5,O00 is given outright to the states. Another S5000 is also given which must be matched by a like fund raised by the state The re- mainder is distributed according to population, and whatever is thus
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-12-03

available must be matched by the local legislatures. thus making a con- siderable amount.
 "A detailed report of the passage of the bill was given at the meeting of the board. and the various ways in which pressure was brought to bear were explained to the members. Messages had been sent to the repre- sentatives and senators of all the states, by their constituents at home, urging them to use their influence to the passage of the Sheppard -Towner bill"
 Millions on millions of women were waiting anxiously upon the outcome of the votes on the bill. The votes in favor of the bill overwhelmed the opposition, the voting being 279 for and only Ss against.
