ed and it seems most apropos and fitting thing that she should be the one to aid Woodlawn In a civic way and promote its progressiveness and it's ambitious growth.
 How did the idea happen to come to you?" l asked Miss Wood the other day when we were chatting about the pool, and its readiness for use.
 ''I am very fond of swimming" she said, "and Birmingham being an in land town, naturally we have rather a difficult time finding congeniai surroundings in this way. l used to go in swimming at East Lake; later I went out on the Warrior river but
 it was so inconvenient that l could rot go as often as I wished to, so one day coming home rather worn out with trying to find place that I liked. I just said: 'Well-rm going to build swimming pool of my own.
 %We began to excavate for the pool and the carpenters and the stone rlasons and others came to build 1t after it had been planned and instead of being the family affair that l at first planned it turned out to be of huge dimension.

"The pool measurses 95 feet long by 45 feet wide; it is made of cement and it's depth measures from four feet in the shallowest places to eight feet in the deepest places.
 "The best part of the pool is that there are Is beautiful springs which flow into it. filling it with the clear est water you ever saw; 1t is so clear that you can stand anywhere on the sides of the pool and see to the very bottom of it. The running water, of course, makes 1t absolutely sanitary because there is never any standing water to gather the debris. which makes for. disease and sickness.
 When the pool was ready for in- spection I was told that there was no need of it because it was perfectly sanitary and could never be anything else with running water supplying it.
 Pool Sanitary
 "Of course, the fact that the swim ming pool is absolutely sanitary makes it pleasure to swim in and it is so beautifully situated, too, right in the center of our big five-acre lot, with lovely trees and wonderful lawn.

When Miss Della Wood of Wood lawn, decided last summer to build beautiful swimming pool on her spacious five-acre lot in the central part of this section of Greater Bir- mingham, the task seemed one which then had only an amateur phase.
 Later It developed into a big civic proposition for with her sweet un- sclfishness and generous heart Miss Wood decided that Woodlawn should enjoy the swimming pool quite as much as she and so she decided to open It's doors to the public and let everybody use it.
 And this Is precisely what is hap pening this summer since the pool has been finished-and the clear run ming waters from the springs which fill it make a most engaging and all lufing spot for those who love to swim and bask in the shining waters during the good old summer time.
 Descendant of Pioneers

 should be made aware of what the additional cost will be and who pays it.
 The present commission should re- member that the entire old board of commission was retired from office on account of all of them being in a small degree only, submissive to the dictation of the trades council, and tat this present commission was efccted not by an organization. but by the whole people, and that the very men that the city commits sion have denied the right to work and fulfill their obligations to their families and feed thousands of these poor children that Mrs. Echols heart is bleeding for, are the very men that help pay the salaries of these commissioners. And l would just like to remind these thousands of fathers and mothers that in this trade between the commission and the trades council that not only have these fathers and husbands been denied the right to work and earn some of their own money with which to provide for their fami lies, but they will be required to bear their part of the additional cost incurred by this trade as well as their part of the tax raise while their children are crying for bread and that they may have to sacrifice their homes and leave Birmingham ir order to live.
 Go To The Polls
 I say think of it, mothers and fathers and if you are not willing for the trades council to spend ST. GOO, 900 of your money on the other fellow. then lay aside everything rext Monday and go to the polls and vote against the bond issue.
 I have repeatedly spoken i'll de- fense of the present commission when they were often branded as incom- potent or worse, but this very as- surance of the commission to the trades council that all of the city's money would be spent only as the trades council should dictate seems to me proof positive that as body the city commission is an absolute failure and when the board of edu- cation realizes what the Acity com mission has put over on them, l sim cerely believe that they will either resign or vote solidly against the bond issue. And then all of us can wait for bond issue until we will not have to say to any contractor that unless you turn your high school job into a closed dshop job we will lose the union vote and the bond issue will be defeated.
 And I might add in conclusion, that my opinion is that anybody of public officials that are so easily in- fiuenced to handle the peoples money so recklessly, will bear watching.
 No self respecting union man can conscientiously vote for these bonds because the bait seems to be loaded.

My grandfather gave the lot at Woodlawn for the Woodlawn Baptist church and also for several of the schools, because he loved the place.
 Tn opening Wildwood swimming pool for Woodlawn it has afforded me much happiness, because l think swimming Is wholesome. nice. amusement and recreation, and want everybody in Woodiawn to feel perfectly free and easy to enjoy the pool-those who want to learn how to swim as well as those who are already accomplished in this sport"
 Miss Wood has proven herself a real benefactor to Woodlawn in her gracious gift to this progressive sub urb, and through her kindness--in the expenditure of many thousands of dollars in building the swimming pool. and then so generously donat ing it's use to Woodlawn, she has con tributed great deal of pleasure to all lovers of swimming.

NIGER IN A DopGEvILLE FENCE.

There's something associated with
Dodgeville's business circle not to be
tabled efficiency, even if some one is
guilty of playing smart alexism.

sealed was subject to letter or first
class postage; hence. when the pig in
the sack reaches the party to whom
it is addressed said party has to shell
out 8 cts. for a gaze at his pig = a cal
endar not worth that amount.
Do you get the drift of the remark
embodied in the first sentence of the
foregoing paragraph = Innocence or
trickery on the part of the calendar
man does not establish efficiency on the

When the mail delivery system is in
vogue at post-office which is the des-

to put on the extra postage before he
can take the package from the office
for delivery that's the custom at the
