all the scraps left by every family in

began to study out a representation,
and at once thought of our penny as

Birmingham is more fortunate in this
line than other cities in the country,
and the old struggle of the man who
would place his services in the indus
trial markets of the country is on
again. The city has gorged itself
ravenously on the young men from

is through with them now. They
have served its purpose and it spews
them out to shift for themselves.
Of nineteen of these applicants in
terviewed, FIVE had been watchmen,
three were painters, three ex-service
men, and the others gave their occu-
pations as follows: One electrician,
one lawyer, one railroad trackman,
one artist, one merchant, one minis

one auto mechanic. Many of the APP
