Solution of Mystery.

One Of the never ending mysteries of the ring is why there are fewer great fighters these days than there were 9 years ago. although the mum ber of men making q. living by the use of the padded mitts now is at leasts five times as great 1t was then. says the Sun. The raw material is just as good, but the output is de cidedIy unsatisfactory. Probably if one of our modern champions were matched with an old timer it would be found that the present day fighter could take care of himself well enough and he might show the old timer a few tricks he never knew. ,The truth of the matter Is that the old timers were far more interesting. but not better than modern fighters. they fought to win and took more boxers changed their point of view Instead of concentrating their efforts on scoring knocHouts they began to concentrate on avoiding being knock ed out because a dream wallop cut down their earning power. As a re- suit of this changed point of view ths art of hitting has lanGutshed.

HOP TO IT-sY GUS.

Do you own a fine car and want
to ride along fields that are nice and
green? Hop to it, go and enjoy your
self-but you'll have to buy gasoline.
If you own farm and raise fruit
and spuds, when they're no longer
green, but ready to be hauled to the
market on trucks-youll need oil and
gasoline.
II fact no matter who you are or
what your truck or car may have
been, if you use it either for pleasure
or what-you'n need oil and gasoline.
One young man of this town said
to friend of his short time ago

Now the county has paid in the last
uine months, for oil and gasoline,
more than nine thousand dollars, in
good hard cash, on the records it may
be seen.
If county dad wants to view the

suppose he buys his gasoline?

If you belong to the GANG and

STATUS OF RED MOUNTAIN
 TUBERCULAR HOME

The request of the Tuberculosis asso- citation and the civic clubs of Birmingham that the county take over the Red Mountain sana- torium and operate it jointly with the city until permanent hospital is provided seems a reasonable one. The Anti Tuberculosis as- sociation is without funds to further tinue the sanatorum after August l, and will be compelled to close it at that time. It of- fers the plant to the county, pending perma- nent and ampler provision for this cause. The association will carry on it's educational work in the prevention of tuberculosis.
 Tuberculosis, unlike many other diseases, is matter of public concern. Every uncared- for victim is 8 menace to the community, be- cause of the ease with which this disease is transmitted.
 Thomas Huey, member of the board of revenue suggests this plan: That the city and county contribute $20,000 per annum each for maintenance of a tubercular hospital of 1oo- bed capacity, the hospital to be secured through public subscription of $65,000. It will cost the city and county no more to main tain the present sanatorium until the perma- nent institution is built than the amount suggested by Mir. Huey to support the latter. Taking over the Red Mountain sanatorium will be merely acting now instead of later.
 Both city and county authorities may rest assured that Birmingham citizens will indorse any effort made to meet this situation.
