 of Birmingham on Behalf
 of Gen. Gorgas Memorial
CContinued From Page one.)

scuare miles of tropical and fertile and productive land that for cen turies have been closed to the white man as result of the diseases which lurked there and thus made impos- sible it's settlement by men not i'm mune to the tropical diseases.
 On Saturday morning the visitors will be taken about the city and wilt visit the principal industries of which this city is justly proud. One of the places of interest that will be visited during the course of the morning will be the plants of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. George Gordon Crawford will be the guest of the diplomats on this oc- casion.
 Party Leaves Tomorrow
 In the afternoon the party leaves for Montgomery, where similar plans for their entertainment are being perfected.
 The mass meeting on Friday even ing will officially launch the Gorgas Memorial campaign for funds in the state of Alabama. The states quota toward the $6,000, 900 endowment and maintenance fund has been set at S750000. Organizations have been se- cured in practically every county in the state and the work of solicitating funds in these counties will open fol- lowing the meeting. By Monday the campaign will be in full swing and will go forward until the amount pledged by the state of Alabama is raised. The international board of directors have already signified their intention of spending at least $5Q,OOO this year on endowing the GorSas School of Sanitation. This amount will be greatly increased from year to year as the institution grows and attendance is increased. It is the plans of the board of directors to make this the largest and most com plete school of sanitation in the world. A corps of trained scientists will be installed in the laboratories which will be opened there shortly. These men and women will study the diseases peculiar to the southland with a view to their entire elimina ton with d comparatively short time. The laboratories will be located on the campus of the University of Ala bama. although the institution itself will have no connection with the uni versity. Men and women who desire To pursue a life study of health and sanitation will be given this oppor- unity.
 This need of the southland has been, according to prominent physi- clans and sanitarians as well as busi- ness and professional men, the cause of the south's somewhat backward condition and with it's elimination the south will occupy the position it so justly deserves.
