PROMINENT MEN
 LOSE FINE DOGS
Three Animals Reported Miss. ing Last Night in Rapid
 Succession

Yesterday was apparently a bad day for good dogs or there was some kind of party or reception which high brow dogs had to attend. At any rate some of them disappeared and their owners are worried. They don't go so far as to say that their animals were stolen but they are willing to give rewards to get them back homo again.
 Within few minutes of each oth- CT three we'll known citizens called The Age-Herald last night to insert advertisements about the loss of their dogs
 First came octavus Roy Cohen, a busy writer who needs his dog for himself and octavus. Jr., In their idle hours. He reported his fine. well grown, six months old Collie gone. He is brown with wide white ruff and wore collar and tag. He answers to tho name Loafer.
 Next Leroy Jacobs, the furniture man and erstwhile newspaper re- porter, said that his Airdale was gone. This animal is one of the best known dogs in town for he carries home the bacon and ribbons when ever Birmingham pulls a dog show.
 Then came Moxie Fies, who said that his dog was missing and he wanted the assistance of his friends In getting 1t back. This dog is of the Belgian police variety and like the others lost, Is in a class by him self.

COUNTY ID ASSIST
 CITY IN REPAIRSAT LOCAL LABORATORY
Co-0peration Assured, City Hall Belief, After InSpec- ton by Joint Body of
 City and County

Cooperation of the county in re- pairing the local health laboratory appears likely, following an exami- nation of the laboratory by the city commission and three members of the board of revenue. It was also announced. after the inspection, that the cost of making the repairs would probably be considerably less than the estimated S3,O00.
 Inspection of the laboratory was not an official act on the part of the city and county authorities, it was announced. D. C. Ball, chairman of the board of revenue, Tom Huey, and w. B. Copeland. members of the board, were at the city hall on other business with the commission, and D. E. McLendon,, president of the commission, suggested joint in- spection of the laboratory.
 While the members of the board of revenue did not commit them selves, the opinion was expressed at the city hall that they would CO., operate with the city in putting the laboratory in first-class shape Ur- gency of the matter was brought out in a recent communication from pr. D. w. fFSiNhf StdtS iiedieh oAAiOcrf who told city authorities that the offer of the state department to es- tablish here branch of the state laboratory would not remain open indefinitely. Other counties. it ap- pears, are pressing their claims for the branch laboratory. and unless the city laboratory is immediately re- paired Birmingham probably will lose her chance.
 City officials say that action will be taken soon. It was made clear that the repairs on the laboratory would be made immediately, either by the city or by the city and county tointly
