Alabama Democrats Gaue

National Committeeman Sanders Issues Statement Test flying Spirit of Party Zeal and Loyalty Which Pre-
 vails Among Democrats of the State

ters, no report of which was made to me- and of which I have no record.
 T have, however, an exact record of all sums received by me, and remitted
 to national headquarters. and | taks pleasure in adding that no deduction was
 made therefrom for any expense of any kind
 The amount received by me. and re-
 mitted through my office was sl5067TS,
 leaving a balance of s7662.ol, which was
 sent in from other sources in Alabama direct to headquarters.
 We started out to raise from Alabama s25, 900, and | feel encouraged that we came as near the goal as we did, namely,
 s2o. .729.79
 Notwithstanding the great apathy that prevailed, and the stringency of the fi- nancial situation during the campaign. am encouraged to believe that this is the largest sum that was ever con- tributed to a national democratic cam- paign from the state of Alabama; and though our party sustained a terrific defeat. I am sure it is a source of pride to Alabama democrats that we were not wanting in sufficient zeal and party loy- alty to support the nominee. and sub- scribe the sum herein reported Our party undoubtedly still has an | important function to perform We have before sustained great defeats, and have come back to power We wish our op- ponents all success in their great under | taking. If they should fail, the dem-
 ocratic party should hold itself in read-
 mess to assume the burdens of governs ment, and serve the great body of the people whose party it really is. 'W. T. SANDERS, | National Committeeman. and Finance

BAb|ES'' BRIGADE IS |S0RGAN|zEDFOR
 RELIEF COUNCIL
Anniston Baby First In South to Join Brigade-Allied Dr. ganizations to Complete
 Plans Tonight

While Birmingham's older residents are to be called upon to give their ut most to help save the lives of millions of children dying from starvation in Europe, the babies of the Magic City are to be given special attention, ac- cording to word reaching Erskine Ram say, chairman of the Alabama division of the European relief council, from Herbert Hoover, national chairman or i the council. aes.-. es. .s .s A special brigade has been formed for babies, and Howel, IT,, the 3-months- old son of MT. and Mrs. E. H. Edwards of Anniston is the first southern baby to join the babies brigade-a national organization which includes every baby under year old in the United States, and which will form part of the Euro pean relief council, with Herbert Hoover as chairman.
 Every baby in the south is asked by MT. Hoover to do his bit toward helping one of the three million starving chil- dren of central and eastern Europe. and no baby of limited income need hesi tate to come forward when it is remem- bered that 10 cents will feed Euro pean child for day. one dollar will keep him from starving for month and ten dollars will save his life until the 1921 harvests are brought in next August
 The, babies of Europe are in even a more pathetic condition than the older children, owing to the shortage of milk Economic and crop conditions have been so terrible during the past few years that the cows have practically ceased to give milk, and the only relief for lit tie babies has been in the powdered milk shipped to them from America.
 Eight organizations. the American Relief Administration, American Rec Cross American Friends Service Com mittee (Quaker), the Federal Council ol the Churches of Christ, the Jewish Join Distribution committee, the Knights o Columbus, the Young Mems Christian association, and the Young Woman Christian association, have united tt meet this emergency, and are striving to raise $33, 100000, the sum necessar, to keep 3.500,000 children from starving through the winter.
 Franklin K. Lane, AZ Broadway, New York, is the national treasurer, and an, baby who wants to join the babies bri gade and feels like contributing even Il pennies from the pink pig on the man tel piece is invited to communicate witt him.
 Representatives of the eight allied or ganizations making up the Birmingham committee to take charge of the appea in city and county when it opens Jan uary will meet at the Civic Associa tions rooms at 7:30 o'clock tonight t complete their organization and to Ia plans for the work.

SYSTEMATIC CAMPAIGN

Early this month a systematic cam
 paign for new members will be inaugu- rated and the officers are appealing to the membership of the club for the con tinued cooperation in order to make this organization one of the strongest clubs of the kind in the country. "The rmigham Automobile club now guarantees protection to it's mem
 bers against theft" said MT Dozier. Each member is issued protective license plate, which is numbered, the corresponding number of which is kept as record at the club headquarters. This protective plate informs the thief that a complete record is kept ot his car of every descriptive nature and he will be traced regardless of expense by the club. Two detectives are assigned to 1 each case, and it is very seldom that
 one of our members car is stolen, However, in q number of cases the au-
 tomobiles have been stolen but have | been recovered and returned to their | owners.
 During the past few months the club has shown a very rapid increas SC
 in membership. This is due to the fact l that the members themselves are mak- | ing their membership felt by giving l their hearty cooperation to the work 1 in which the club is engaged.
 SAFETY ZONES
 1 Parking space has been provided | safety zones established keep to the
 right signs placed and a number oi | other things which are of direct bene-
 fit to the motorists. We have placed several types of safety zones for per. sons boarding and leaving street cars and would like to have the citizens of this city comment on them and say which they think is best. If we can 1 get them to decide which will be the best for all parties, our club is plan ming to have those safety zone markers placed on all downtown corners"
 The new route book will soon be re- leased from the printers and will con tain 125 routes D. Allen has been al | work on the new book for several months, and has covered all logs. The 1921 book will have p additional
 routes to the 1920 book, issued by the club.
 Officers of the club are: H. NJ. Dozier president; Charles G. Davis, vice presi- dent; E. L. Scouten, treasurer; James P

Many Activities for the Year Planned = Insurance and Legal Departments Fea-
 ture - Protection
 Against Thieves

Members of the Birming- ham Automobile club are mak- ing plans for the activities of the organization during 1921 while individuals are watch ing their step" in order to keep their New Years resolutions. The one resolution of the auto mobile club is to have "every motorist a member and every member Q worker" :"
 One of the first things the club will do this year is to establish free au- tomobile camp for tourists This camp will be equipped with free lights, hot and cold water, two shower baths, kitchen and concrete platform where the automobile can be washed accord ing to H. M Dozier, president of the local organization. Wherever these camps have been established. the cities have reaped untold benefits from them, he stated.
 It provides an advertising medium which can only be provided in this way and causes the tourists to feel that they would like to stay in the city, where the citizens manifest an interest in their comfort.
 Other very attractive features will be added to the automobile club for it's members, tiis stated. and will include the establishment of an insurance de- partment, legal department to give free service to members the monitor sys- tenn of reporting habitual and fragrant traffic violators, the extension of the signs and highway markers, and an ef- fort will be made to secure the privi- lege of distributing licenses to members thus saving them the trouble of stand l ing in line al the office of the probate fYVl l |.

 SCHOOL CHILDREN

Twenty thousand children from all over
 the county are hustling to school this
 morning 20,oOo mothers more or less ara
 drawing a sigh of relief and taking up
 the regular daily routine of life. The
 Christmas holidays, with all their haz-
 ards of too many fire crackers. too much skating in the stree,. too much plum
 pudding and too much time to fight are over.
 The xiddes are entering their an- nual trial by boredom for there is no time during the year when school is quite as dull as it is immediately after the Christmas holidays. In the immediate future they view with alarm the prospect of the midyear ex- aminations and there is no let-up on the grind between today and the beginning of the summer vacation except Good Friday That day is the only oasis in a desert of hard work.

created at the suggestion of Governor Kilby for the enforcement of the pro- hibition laws of the state. MT. Mus groves friends have been in sympathy with the governors friends SO far as the enforcement of prohibition is con cerned but there has been a sharp dif- ference of opinion among them as 10 the manner in which the miners strike should be handled. The governor felt the necessity of sending the military and Austin's forces into the mining field to see that the laws were obeyed, while the newspaper, Advance, has re- sented such action. maintaining that it was an unnecessary step and an inter- ference with the rights of the strikers to conduct the strike in their own way. Only yesterday announcement was made that the Advance will be pub lished as an afternoon daily, beginning January 24.

PICRIC ACID CLEARS
$4,000 MICH. ACRES

Thirty thousand acres of cleared
land will be added to Michigan's to-
tai as q result of land clearing oper-
atoms being carried on this fall with
Picric Acid, according TO estimates
Of land clearing specialists at the
Michigan Agricultural college. In
addition, is said that farmers OF
the state have saved sol, 900 in the
purchase of the war salvaged ex-
plosive, which has been distributed
at about eleven cents q pound lower
than the cost of dynamite ordinarily
used in land clearing work.
"Ye received orders for nearly =
million pounds of Picric Acid, states
A. j. McAdams, assistant land clear
ing specialist at M. A. c., Lansing,
although the Michigan allotment
was only $4,000 pounds. The diff
ferent state allotments were based
on their acreage of cut-over land and
the Michigan total proved insufficient
to meet the demand.
"Picric Acid is not ordinarily =
competitor TO dynamite for land
clearing purposes as it actually costs
more to manufacture than dynamite.
This allotment was turned over by
the government at merely the cost
of cartri1 ging, freight, and distribu.
ton, which made the price unusual

for military purposes"
