of Board Men,

COST $4,000 A YEAR
Rooms Used Largely as
Meeting Place for Or.
CARNATIONS.
COST $4,000 A YEAR

At meeting of the board of direc
tors of the Chamber OF Commerce
Thursday evening. it was voted TO lease
the present quarters for another year
and papers We're subsequently, signed
lctfecting the action. Due to the great
! expense of maintaining the quarters
which are used as Il community center
! by the various organizations, schools
and civic bodies OF this city, it had
been thought that new and less eXpen-
Sive quarters would have to be sought,
can easily get along with Il less pre-
tcntiouS Office and meeting place.
knowing. however. that such change
would throw Il score of local Orga MIA
tons out OF Il place to hold their meet
ng>. and would also do away with the
best convention hall in the city. the
board of directors decided to risk the
Glance of going in debt in order 10 re-
t; in the rooms for the benefit of the
community.
Costs $4,000 a Year.
Ii costs. the board has estimated,
s.. 900 a year to maintain the suite Of
rooms. This includes rent. heat, light,
janilor, water ana replacing of broken
or otherwise damaged equipment. The
chamber collects rentals from private
or sem-privatc organizations for meet
ilig-Space, hut these rentals do not
total more than $500 year The
great ma jority of meetings held by out
SIDE organizations that is, organiZa-
tons which have no connection with
the Chamber of Commerce-have no
Charge attached TO them. as the oTga-
niZatiOnS in question are engaged i'll
various lines of civic endeavor.
The Chamber Of Commerce, there
fore. footS the bill As the chamber
is supported solely by the dues of its
members. it is these members, in the
last analysis. who are the loyal ones in
keeping up these rooms for the use of
the general public.
Up to Members.
During the past year. the business
depression has caused Il number of the
chamber members to drop out, thereby
throwing the burden on those who re-
NAMED in. As ii result the maintc-
nance OF the community center rooms
was almost given up.
Whether the chamber retains the
rooms for the use of the general public
or not, depends upon the growth of it's
membership within the next four or
FIVE months. it was said today. \ quiet
but earnest drive for new members will
hp made. and the results Will show
whether the chambers efforts are gen
orally appreciated by the public. There
arc at present about Il hundred bltSl-
ness men eligible for membership who
do not belong.

More than 325 Chapters engaged ir
ftft saving or wnter first aid last year
with the result that the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps has set a new
high mark for enrolment and the
number of qualified life savers de-
veloped. The influence Of "leam to

struction and the wider dissemination
of resuscitation methods demonstrated
by the Red Cross representatives DIX
cellent work has been done In teaching
a large part Of the American popula-
ton how TO take care Of itself In the

shown by the compulsory instruction
adopted in many cities for members OF
the police and fire departments In the

Total S30,000,000.

Seventy-two disasters, with hun
dreds reported killed and Injured ana
more than 145,000 either homeless or
recurring assistance, called for emer-
rency relief measures and the ex-
penditure Of S1,441, ,4S030 by the
American Red Cross during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1922, according
10 a statement based on the forth
coming annual report Of the Red
Cross. The greatest toll Of life was
taken by hurricane and tornado,
while the overfiowing Of rivers. the
breaking Of dams and torrential rains
drove the greatest number OF people
from their homes The property loss
was estimated AZ more than SSO'-
100000.

A National Calamity
In the Red Cross disaster relief
records there will probably remain
for many years one calamity which
touched nearly every state with
sense of horror and Of loss. This was
the distressing collapse Of the roof
~ the Knickerbocker Theatre In
washington, d. c., resulting In nine
tv.s,x deaths and 125 persons Injured.
Situated in the center Of the beauti-
tu Northwest residential section this
motion ptcture theatre was patronized
nv many persons Of prominence both
IN the offfcial and civil life OF the No
tlonal Capital, whose family and per-
sonai connections radlated out over
fhe entire country. The horror was
intensified by q terrific snowstorm
which. though Il retarded, did not
block Red Cross relief.
AtrHt1tp Crash FlHos tIu ~ ''oN
The crash and destruction Of the U.
8. Army's large sirship Roma IN Vir-
otnIa lost February with the loss Of "a
officers and men and IL injured was
tne first disaster Of Its kind to call for
Red Cross relief In this country. The
suddenness Of the accident tested the
preparedness Of the organization and
OF the CSapter at Hampton, Va, but
the response was immediate and relief
furnished the survivors, also funds for
the expenses OF relatives Of the dead
who came from long distances to claim
their own.
In the years Oversea record for MD
rendered by the Red Cross are two
fires in the Philippines, one in Manila
which destroyed 1000 homes. with a
loss Of sl.I0O.O0O and 5000 persons
made homeless. the other at Tonic
which drove 1000 from their dwellings
In medical relief that was quick and
effective the smallpox epidemic in Snr
Domingo. which had a total Of 22-oOt

RUSHTON INTERESTS. IN COAL TRANSFERS.
Activities in Ice and Cold Stor- age to Be Retained
 and Enlarged

One of the largest business trans actions recently announced in Bir- mingham is carried In the advertise ing columns of The Age-Herald to- day, in the sale of coal business of the Birmingham Ice and Cold Stor- age company to the Ivy Leaf and Piper company. The change in own ershlp Is effective May 1, and marks the passing of one of the largest re- tail coal businesses in the city. As the purchasing company already en- joyed largc retail business. this new combination will easily place them as the largest retail dealers in the city.
 The Rustom interests. which con trol the Birmingham Ice and Cold Storage company, have been giving more attention to their ice and cold storage business in recent months and 1t was felt that these interests could be better handled by the an nounced curtailment. The sale af- fects only the coal business and un- der the trade slogan, "Good-Ton Full-Ton. Rush-Ton," this company has sold coal to many residents of Birmingham.
 The new owners have also been building a big business and it is an nounced that they will undertake to do fully as much retail business un- der the single management as has been enjoyed before. Colin Camp bell is president and J. Monroe Jones vice president of the Ivy Leaf and Piper Coal company. They handle the output of number of large mines mining a good grade of coal placed on the Birmingham market.
