DIR. ELLIOTT ON EATING
Exchange Members Hear Address On
 Health And Diet

"The business and professional men of today are under high pressure l1te and there is an imperative demand for greater simplicity and palmer liV- ing" said Dr. J. c. Elliott, when ne addressed the members of the EX- change club Wednesday afternoon at their regular weekly luncheon, held in the private dining room of the Tutwiler hotel.
 "The high pressure life of the American people is the greatest or any nation on the planet in this hlgh pressure age," continued the speaker, "and millions die prematurely for lack of normal care of the body lie stated that sane. methods of living and eating would add 15 years to the life of every individual. we have but two living ex-presidents or the United States and one of them IS paralytic," said Dr. Elliott, and more than 50 of the United States senators of seven years ago are dead today. Age does not account for this. It IS the result of the strenuous life and too much food, as well as too rich food and lack of care of the body
 In concluding his talk Dr. Elliott stated that the business and profess sional men owed 1t to themselves and their families and the nation to slacken their pace, and give larger care to the body.
 The attendance prize awarded by Arthur Blair was won by Eugene Knight and Edmund Armes an- nounced the arrival of an Exchange daughter in the person of little Miss Kathrine Nelson, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Nelson.

Pierce, and it appears that only after their cars have been stolen. many begin to appreciate the fact that $10 per annum membership in the club would save them extra de- tective or police fees.
 As an example Mir. Pierce stated that Mrs. McElroy recently lost her car and applied to him for services at the cost of SPA, and Mrs. Lane like wise at a cost of S25.
 Tt must be understood" says MT. Pierce, that upon each car stolen, tt. get in touch by wire and telephone with all my representatives, costs the office S13.50, and one never knows when his car may be stolen. Therefore, it is a wonder to me that all the car owners in this vicinity do not carry membership in the Automo- bile club, and receive this service without extra charge"

PEvEAR REPORTS IN CONDITION 0F TROLLEY CONTAIN
Claims That It Would Take Ten Months to Make
 Required Changes

J. S. Pevear, co-receiver of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company, left report of the condi- liam I. Grubb, of the federal court, Wednesday at noon, asking for in structions from court regarding tn passage of the ordinance by the city commission, which will require the traction company to install separate entrances and partitions fors' both races in their street cars. Judge Grubb has been busy in court, and tt Is expected that it will e> several days before action will be taken.
 Speculation in the city hall was to the effect that as the company was In the hands of a receiver that re- straining order would be issued pre- venting the city from enforcing the ordinance.
 It was stated by Pevear that it would take at least 10 months to com plete the changes on the one-man cars asked for by the ordinance, at an expenditure Of approximately $700,000. and the selling of 40 cars which could not be converted. Lines dinance are those which have much competition by the jitney, it was pointed out.
 Thirty days are allowed by the or dinance for reconditloning the street cars, and it was discussed that if strict application of the ordinance was made that several of the lines would practically be without service. It was also considered around the city hall Wednesday that longer time for making the changes would be granted by the commission, but none of the commissioners was commital on this phase of the controversy.
 It was said by several members of the commission Wednesday that changes required by the ordinance could be made much cheaper than outlined by Mir Pevear. Sale of the smaller type of cars would materially reduce the cost of the larger cars, which cost approximately $12,00o.
 Judge Grubb and Mir. Pevear had a conference some weeks ago when the petitions of the Fountain Heights and No-wood lines were discussed, and Judge Grubb refused to allow the change. owing to the financial condi tion of the traction company at the present time.

WEDDING PLANS OF AM0RY LAD HALTED BY COUNTY OFFICERS
Visions of Being Second Young Lochinvar Are
 RudeIy DispeIled

Walter Glazier had visions of be- ing second Lochinvar as he came out of the west from his home at youthful love, Ella Mae Swanzey. at Winfield, Ala. Of course he modern ized the story and instead of horse he used popular priced automo- bile. Glazier's plan worked well un- til he reached Birmingham at 3:45 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. He and the girl had hardly registered at a rooming house at Twenty fifth street and Fifth avenue, north, when the prosaic but efficient and neces- sary law in the person of Deputy Sheriffs Badger, Jones and Ball ar rived and arrested Glazier. He was charged with stealing the automo- bile.
 The officers escorted Glazier to the county Jail and Ella Mae to the sheriff's office. Here she sat in a chair. perplexed little blonde. twisting a spring hat of Alice blue. and told her story.
 We have been going together for about year." she said, "so when Walter came over home in the car last night we decided to get mar ried. told mother and father about it this morning and we left for Bir- mingham. We got here about 4 o'clock and had just got room and cleaned up a little when the officers came. They didn't give us time to get married. How did I know the car was stolen? What did he want to do it for?' she broke off.
 What am going to do? I don't know. I'm going to walt here until I see what they do with him. Yes, I'd marry him in the jail. No, ] don't know whether I'll marry or not. It's an awful mess" she pouted.
 Ella Mae said she was about IT years old and that she just stayed at home" Her stepfather. M. NJ. Carroll. is in the sawmill business in Winfield.
 Glazier gave his age to the offi- cers as IS. When arrested he ad- mitted stealing the car from in front of the depot in Amory. He Is being held for Mississippi authorities. H. E. Badger one of the arresting officers, said the sheriffs office re- ceived a telegram at II o'clock We'd nesday morning to be on the watch for Glazier. They placed him under arrest within 30 minutes after he reached Birmingham.

COURSE IN FIRST AID
 BEGINS AT " TUESDAY
No Tuition Fees Charged In Course
 Of Emergency Treatment

Every year in the United States more than 100000 lives are lost through accident and many times that number are made cripples for life. It is not often that doctors are present when accidents occur. It is tremendously important. therefore, that people of every walk and posi- tion in life should know how to rem der first aid assistance and for this reason thousands of people have studied and mastered first aid. It is a great thing to be in a position to help someone else in the time of need and so save suffering and pre- serve life. First aid remedies are not for the purpose of dispensing with the services of the physicians, but simply care properly for an in- jured person until a physician can be secured.
 The Young Mems Christian asso- citation is now offering the public an opportunity to become thoroughly versed in first aid methods. They are planning a class in first aid. the first session of which will be held next Tuesday. March 20. This class will meet every Tuesday night for the next two months. They have been very fortunate to secure as in- structor pr. William Fonyille of Bir- mingham, formerly surgeon and major in the United States army. No tuition fees will be charged for this course, simply a registration fee Of S2 to cover cost of advertising and text book. Membership in the "Y' will not be required.
 pr. Fonville. it is said. is emil nently qualified to conduct this course of study, inasmuch as he in structed thousands of men in first aid during the great war. He served the Alabama troops in the Thirty first division in this country and in the Second division overseas from 1916 to 1920.
 All interested parties should con- fer with the educational department of the Young Mems Christian asso- citation immediately.

In the county jail, where he had been placed on charge of failing to return rented automo- bile, Allies recalled Thursday that he had a wife and a 7-year-old child in Philadelphia. Allies remembered his first wife when told of a letter re ceived from Samuel W. Salus, Phila- delphia attorney, by Solicitor Jim Davis.
 At the jail Thursday, Allies declared he had been subject to loss of mem ory before his marriage to Miss Hay, and that he had been under treatment in government hospitals for shell shock. The letter from Salus, stated Allies had disappeared from govern ment hospital in January and had not been heard from until his arrest at Jacksonville, Fla. for failure to re- turn a rented automobile to a Bir- mingham firm.
