Following a conference between Dr. J. D. Bowling, county and city health officer and Miss Jessie NJ Hoover of the dairy department ot the bureau of animal industry, Wash ington, D.

 A survey of the school children who are under weight and under nourished will be made before the campaign is made and a survey undertaken fol- lowing completion of the campaign.
 There are thousands of children over the country who are allowed to grow into manhood and womanhood under nourished and there is noth- ing quite so good for the boys and girls as is wholesome milk" said Mrs. Hoover.
 "The dairymen of this section will be asked to cooperate in the cam paign and We want to see how the demand for milk has grown at the conclusion of the campaign" said pr. Bowling.

Locai opposition to the proposed $6UUU,0U0 city bond issue began to form yesterday when Hunter Arm strong, register in chancery, in d let ter to D. E. McLendon, president of the city commission, requested per mission from the commission to hold series of street-corner talks on the merits and demerits of the proposed issue
 MT. McLendon. in a statement made last night, said that he had not as yet received Mir. Armstrong's letter and until then he had nothing to say regarding the matter.
 According to Mr. Armstrong. his action in taking the stump against the issue is purely personal one as he believes that facts regarding the bond issue are being held back. Mr. Armstrong denied that he was at the head of any organization, working to defeat the issue but it is believed that with MT. Armstrong's announce ment and request, many other persons not in favor of the issue will come forward and seek 10 combat the issue
 ArmstrOnG's Statement
 The following statement was is sued by MT. Armstrong yesterday;
 The campaign in behalf of the proposed f,000,000 bond issue for schools, parks and etc, and the tax increase of $420.000 has been charac terized so far by such misreprosen- tation tha it behoves the thinking citizens of Birmingham to put the real facts before the public.
 Tn pursuance of this course have today written D. E. McBendon, presi dent of the city commission, asking permission to hold a series of street. corner lctures al which facts re- garding the bond issue and tax raises will be presented
 No Mud SiinEing Promised
 The first of these meetings will be held about May 1. No personalities will be indulged |. at these meet ings, but the true facts placed be- fore the people of Birmingham.
 Briefly, I am opposed to the bond issue for the following reasons:
 ''l. We are already overburdened with taxes. Instead of having the lowest per capita tax in our class. we have among the highest. Those who figured we had the lowest for got the $750.O00 license tax that is levied, the public improvement taxes and other indirect taxes that are taxes nevertheless.

Presents Figures Conditions Generally Existing in City's School System-Declares Sum Not Asked Unthoughtedly-D Not Champion Cause
 For Remaining $2,OOO,OOO of Bonds

Despite the inclemency of the weather yesterday afternoon, several hundred school officials and host of school patrons filled the main room of the First Methodist Sunday school building to capacity, when the central and branch school improvement asso- citations of Birmingham assembled at public mass meeting 10 the first public appeal before school patrons on behalf of the various phases of the proposed s5,0O0.O0O school bond issue to be voted upon May 22. pr. c. B. Glenn delivered the principal address.
 In the absence of Mrs Paul Earle, president of the central association, C. A. Brown, associate superintendent of schools. presided at the meeting and spoke briefly yet emphatieally and earnestly of the prevailing build ing and equipment conditions at the several school centers of Birming- ham, and especially at Ensley, Wood lawn and the Central High school site, which consists in the main of dwellings and temporary structures unfit for teaching. He pointed out the absence of gymnasiums, lunch rooms. adequate study halls and audi toriums in city schools, and stated that the idea of which so many are possessed that the John Herbert Phil lips school will alleviate all these ills is erroneous, due to the steadily increasing number of children in Bir- mingham attending school.
 Conditions Generally
 pr. Glenn presented the facts, as he expressed it, about the school conditions generally, and declaring tkat he felt confident of it's deep in- terest among the citizenry of Bir- minsham in the education of it's youth, urged that 1t look at the huge proposition of appropriating a sum of $5,000,000 for schools in an in- quisatory manner, and to the extent even of making personal visits to the school districts and view condi- tions as they are.
 This sum was not asked for un- thoughtfully, but after careful con- sideration of the needs and the im- perative demands declared Dr. Glenn. Your board of education thought $5.000,00 a reasonable amount to be expended for such a productive investment" Opportunity was then taken to speak very com pilmentary of the ability and busi- ness acumen of the board and confi- dence in such capable body was urged, as it is at their discretion the money will be expended if the bond issue measure passes, it was stated. This amount is needed to catch up

FIST FIGHT OCCURS
 IN CLOE' s OFFICE
Attorney Joe Mudd and Lee White Exchange Blows
 Following Dispute

A fist fight in which blows were freely exchanged took place yester- day in Commissioner W. B. Gloe's of flee between Lee White. special agent for the Southern railway, and J. P. Mudd, attorney.
 The fight occurred after Attorney Mudd charged that the bond on which M. R. Pearce. former employe of the Southern railway, was freed fol- lowing his arrest on charge of petty larceny did not comply with the law. Mudd represents Eugene Mckinney, also a former railroad employe. who is implicated in an alleged fake hold-up, according to a statement of Pearce.
 The arg lment first started between Attorney Mudd and City Detective H. c. Peveler who handled the alleged fake hold-up case. The lie Is alleged to have been passed l tween them after which Mudd went to Commis- sioner Cloes office to report the ac- tions of the detective.
 While there the difference arose between him and Lee White Several blows were passed and blood was spattered on the floor and on George R. Trafford, who intervened. Others aided in separating them and both were placed under bond on charges of affray.
 Pearce, whose case precipitated the row, was fined s25 and given a 30 days suspended sentence yesterday by Judge Martin when tried on a charge of petty larceny. The case of Me Kinney who by the statement oi Pearce Is charged with implication in the fake hold-up is still pending. He is charged with embezzlement.

We have not been given a sin gle definite fact as to the need for this money or how it will be spent, We have been assured in large gem eralities that the money will go for schools, for parks for an auditorium The people of Birmingham have cried for facts but none have been given them because there are none avail able.
 proponents of the bonds don't know how or where or when the money will be spent. It is a singu- larly unbusinesslike way of conduct ing the affairs of the largest corpora tion in Alabama. Would the Tennes- see company build a S7000,0O0 plant without knowing how much it was going to cost? I don't think so. But that is what is proposed for the peo pie.
