HELPLESS TOTS AT. ME RCY HOME NEED YOUR ASSIST ANCE
One Hundred Dependent ChiI- dren Cared For at Home. Wonderful Record of
 Institution

With the approach of the Christ mas season many charitable organ iadtions of Birmingham have entered upon their annual drive for funds to continue the work during the coming year, and in this connection, comes the call from the Mercy Home. where loo or more dependent little ones are cared for.
 This institution. Is located on Eleventh avenue and Twenty -second street, north, and children between the ages of babyhood and II years find a home and a mother. It Is undenominationai. and all children between these ages who are depen- dent, find welcome ana rest in this sanctuary.
 Carson Adams Is chairman of the campaign committee in the drive for funds and announces that tho goal has been set at $20. 900. The home re- ceives no appropriation from the state, county or city, states Mir. Adams, and 1t is entirely dependent upon the donations from the Bir-
 aingham public. The business men of the city and all who are wlll- Ing to contribute to this home for dependent children are requested to send in their checks to MT. Adams, at  doing assist the committee in charge
 During the past twenty eight years the home, under the direction Of. Mrs. Margaret Ramsay, afieetionatory known to her little wards as Mother Ramsay" has been most successfully operated and many oI those who have received their training here who are now mothers with comfortable homes Of 1heir own, visit Mother Ramsay and the Mercy Home, at each holiday season.
 Despite the careful efforts of Mother Ramsay, her little wards are often afflicted with the disorders prevalent among children such as chicken pox, measles, and kindred diseases, however, statistics show that during the period of twenty eight years, death has only removed one child from this threshold, and that while the children are given every privilege of free play the feeofas furthr show that there has been no injuries to any child.
 At the present writing there are al least 50 cases of dengue fever III this home, but those in charge reel no alarm because, 1t was stated, natural consequence for disease to go from child to child until 1t had swept the entire home.
 At present the home can only ac- commodate 100 children, but whenever it is possible for an extra bed, to be slipped in without interfering wlth the home children and overtdNins the capacity Of the buildings, II is aohe, go in order that an additional child might be received into this haven.
 The drive Is now i'll progress anu the citizens ot Birmingham are again called upon and asked to contribute veuerotlslv 10 this cause.

Pig iron production in Alabama is 100 per cent above that of this time last year and the southern melt is the greatest on record. with 24 Ala ,bama furnaces now active, represent ing the largest number on the active list in the last two years. Active furnaces in the state include 10 of the Tennessee company, five of the sloss- Sheffield company, four of the Woodward Iron, two of the Republic and one each of the Alabama, Central Iron and Coal and Gulf States Steel companies.
 Three hundred and fifty thousand tons of Alabama pig iron have been sold since Thanksgiving Day, accord ing to estimate of experienced. iron buyers and sellers. The buying is still brisk and business is coming in daily in heavy tonnage.
 A leading iron and steel interest is credited with booking 100000 tons or more over the first half of u @ year. principally In the first guar ter Two foundry makers are known to have booked 50,000 tons each.

 Soil pipe makers. who were slow est. to enter the market. are under stood to have been in 1t during the past few days and to have taken a considerable tonnage. The leading pipe interest is credited with the purchase of 75,o00 tons and the mak- CTS of heating apparatus, north and south, have bought heavy tonnages.

 IF GREEN SPRINGS.
0ptimist Club Offers Arrange ment for Development of Park-Thought FeaSi-
 bIe by City

Prospects for development of Green Springs park by the city were declared by Commissioner William l.. Harrison Monday to be brighter than at any time since the matter has been under consideration, after he had been in conference during the morning with 8 committee from the Optimist club and had reviewed its program for financing the improve ments. Harrison would not divulge the nature of the plan, but he said that it was both practicable and feasible" and that he was inclined to look upon it with favor.
 Since the Optimist club took 1t upon themselves at the beginning of the year to work out scheme for financing Improvements, many pro- posals have been made, but each has been rejected for one reason or another by the city.
 The latest plan of the club will re- qure special legislation, Commission CT Harrison said, and after details have been worked out by the club and an opinion given by the legal department. it is probable the city will ask such action of the legH- lature.
 If the city undertakes the develop ment, 1t is said that Approximately s100.0 900 probably will be expended. An 1S-hole golf course and mann moth swimming pool are among the revenue producing improvements con templated, while tennis courts, wading pool for children. and other free attractions are included in the program. Concessions for amuse- ment devices will also probably be granted.
 It became known also that the city probably will ask an enabling act of the next legislature. giving authority for the creation of a park

"SNILIN' JIM" WITH FRANKLIN FARNJTyF AT ROYAL

This picture is one of those free and easy "Western' affairs-a typi- cal Farnum film. The action is in a small western town. and the hero does the usual "stunts." "Smllin Jim" is accused of crime and makes a getaway. Later his brother arrives on the scene and is taken for the "wanted" man. The action is fast and improbable, but 1t gives Farnum good chance to display his talents which he does with grace.
 Larry semon in "The Bakery" scores his usual hit with some real rough and tumble comedy.
 Good for the entire family.

ELAINE HAMMERSTEIN IN oIINDEn OATH"

Under Oath" the selznick feature at the Alcazar this week IS as fine a drama as has yet been screened. Difficult to a degree, the selection of a cast including Elaine Hammerstein and Mahlon Hamilton leaves very little to be desired. If there IS weak spot 1t is in Niles Welch as Hartley Peters, young assistant district attorney and even he, in his bia scenes is average. For the rest, they are all good.
 The action of the piece, that of man who has come up from the docks to power. and at last suc- eeeded in wrecking his aristocratic antagonist only to fall in love With the daughter of his enemy is hard but it is not overplayed in any part. Miss Hammerstein handles her role with a fine repression where the im- pulse would be to crowd. that makes real photoplay.
 A family picture which will appeal particularly to women.
