BOWLING TO ACT

Some action regarding the em- ployes of the health department who were dropped from the city pay roll January IT by resolution of the city commission, will, in all probability, be taken by Dr. J. D. Bowling in few days. The health officer has been confined to his home for the past two weeks with severe cold, but was in his office al the city hall for short time yesterday.
 The employees who were cut off bV the resolution are still at work, 1t is stated. They were on the joint pay roll of the city and county, the former paying 30 and the latter e5 per cent of their salaries, and were dropped because the county cut off It's appropriation and the city did not have funds available to pay their entire salaries.
 It is believed that with the appro- priation offered by the state through Dr. S. ". Welch. state health offi- cer. and the fact that the commits sion has announced it will not cut it's appropriation for this work a partial reorganization may be eff fected

 What would I do If suddenly plunged into the game of life alone and on my own resources? To me there would be nothing fearful, ter rible In facing life's struggles, al. though I realize that one should not wholly ignore the unpleasant facts of life; yet to me the world is no place of seething evils, where one cannot trust another.

BURNS MEMORY
 HONORED BY CLUB
Southern Scots Club Enter tain at Hillman-Many
 Guests Present

If there had been any doubts in the minds of our people as to the affec- tion in which the memory of Robert Burns, Scotland's most beloved poet, is held by his countrymen 1t would have been dispelled forever had the people aforesaid been in attendance at ths annual supper and dance held last night at the Hillman hotel, un- der the auspices of the Southern Scots club of Ensley, at which more than 200 guests were present.
 Eloquent tributes to the memory Of Burns were paid by several speak CTS, but the outstanding feature was the address of Judge Hugh A Locke, who had been selected to speak on The Immortal Memory of Robert Burns" and right well he filled tho assignment. He pointed out the fact that Burns drew his inspiration from the little things of everyday life, and yet immortalized every sub ject on which he wrote. Quoting from several of Burns most noted poems he pointed out the fact that Burns philosophy was as much to the point today as when it was writ ten.
 Other speakers included T. Null holland, who responded to the toast Our President; Erskine Ramsay. The Army and Navy; D. L. Me- Lendon, The City of Birmingham" {; c. H. Mandy, "The Press; w. L. Harrison, Our Guests; and James Horne, "The Ladies'" All the speeches were to the point and well received.
 James Horne presided while the several speakers were introduced by various members of the club. During the speaking musical selections and songs were rendered by Jane Stew art, the Harry Lauder" of Birming- ham, Mrs. J. Scott, MT. Brown and others.
 An interesting feature was the reading of several cablegrams by the chairman, which included the follow ing:
 ITO the Southern Scots club.
 "Wf a respects tae a Scotch cro- nies I loath tae telt ye I canna be wi ye the nicht.
 Indeed a. canna see hoo ye can celebrate wi'oot the drappie, so ave just tae say again wac a respect that ave decided tae bide at home wac Seuter Johnnie, ma ancient trusty droughty cronie.
 "(Signed) TAM O'SHANTER,
 Ayrshire, Scotland"
 Other messages were read from Highland Mary and Folra Macdonald which were delightfully."- appropriate, The final eablegram probably caused the greatest merriment. which read as follows:
 Southern Scots club:
 Regret that I canna be wi ye the nicht Ma Uncle Sam prevents ma attendance, an I must perforce cele- -brate in Cuba.
 "(Signed) JOHNNY WALKER"
 At the conclusion of the banquet the floor was cleared and dancing in- dulged in until the wee sma' hours

BROWN ASSUMES
 IMPORTANT ROLE
 IN GORGAS DRIVE
Accepts Chairmanship Foun- derS Committee in Order to Aid In Bringing Move
 ment Before Public

Senator Watt T. Brown last night accepted membership upon the state executive committee of the GorEas memorial, under the chairmanship of George Gordon Crawford, and as stunned charge of the work as chair man of one of the most important suboommittees of the executive com mtttee, the founders committee. Sen ator Brown, who for nearly score of years has been directly engaged in the effort to promote the interest of vocational education in the United States, has interested himself at all times in benevolent, educational and Humanitarian movements. In accept ing the chairmanship of the founders committee Senator Brown declared that he was moved to do so because he had been so tremendously i'm pressed with the importance ot bringing such vital movement as that of the Gorgas memorial to the attention of the larger interests of the state and to its leaders of finance and industry.
 For years have championed the cause of vocational education, be- cause I have believed that such edu- cation was practical, and necessary to the welfare of all our people," he said. 'FThe work of the Gorgas Me- morial institute, particularly that phase of it which will bo performed here in our own state in connection with the Gorgas School of Sanitation at Tuscaloosa. is in many ways vo- cational education in it's truest sense. the Gorgas School of Sanitation will train men and women to be thor oughly prepared to take Up the fight against all diseases and insanitarS living conditions. In effect the train ing offered at the great new school at Tuscaloosa, to be known as the first field branch of the parent in- stitute at Panama City, will reduce the application of public hygiene to an exact science. and the methods of preventive medicine may be easily established by our medical men, who will thus have the cooperation oi these groups of trained health work CTS who will leave the Gorgas school each year.

 Tt cannot be too strictly empha- sized that this movement Is not for the benefit of Mir. Wilson personally and he will never himself receive a cent of it." says Mir. Bowie.
 Tn a large sense, it is for our selves. The purpose of this Is to es- tablish a permanent fund. the in- come on which will from time to time, be awarded to any who has rendered 'meritorious service to de- mocraey, public welfare. liberal thought or peace through justice.
 Tn this noble cause all should be interested and our appeal Is to all It will be impossible to reach directly F of 1 per cent of the people who would like to contribute. Voluntary contributions are therefore requested, large or small from any one desirous of having a part in the creation or permanent fund to be devoted to the highest interest of mankind.

Min and Little Chester. This promises to furnish much fun for Birmingham social or ganizations, benefits and the like within the next few weeks.
 Does the widow really love Uncle Bim? Or is she the kind that would carry fellow along, marry him, per- suade him to deed all of his property to her and then hit out for Reno? Does Andy really think she is an ad- venturess. or Is it just selfish mo- tive on his part to keep all Uncle Bim's millions in the family when the uncle finally shuffles off this mortal coil?

 Others have boldly asserted that Uncle Bim had best see about install ing chin before he does wifei yea it has even been stated by Uncle Bim g critics that he is getting too old to fall for the crafty widows flattery- that 1t Is an open secret that coal black hair and mustache are dyed products.
 And, as the interest grows, the fight for the Gump millions goes mer- rily on.
