MOTOR CLUB MILL
 GIVE B|G OUTING FOR CITY CHILDREN
Members As Hosts Plan Great Time For Little Ones
 At East Lake

Plans for high old times for the children of the city whose dads do not own motor cars were set afoot Wednesday morning by the Bir- miingham Automobile club. The an- nual outing will be a great occasion this year. Charles c. Davis, president of the club announced.
 The exact day has not yet been named, but the outing will be held amout the middle of August and East Lake will be the objective.
 At the automobile club office Wednesday the staff was busy fold ing copies of a letter to be sent to each member announcing the desires of the officers in regard to the out ing of the youngsters, and into each envelop will go a coin card for the necessary wherewithal to put the day oQ record as a real big time.
 Toys, luncheon, soda water, ice cream will be the list of things bought, but more money will be needed this year than last for the attractions at East Lake are no longer under the direction of the city and 1t is thought some charge will be made for their use by the chil- dren. Heretofore the amusements have been free on the annual outing of the automobile club to the poor children of the city, but it has not yet been learned what the SlludllOIl will be under the new regime.
 In the matter of balloons, cake. pop corn and other features of the day the supply houses of the city have al ways sold them to the automobile club at cost and it is expected the same will be the case this year.
 Letters to the various eleemosynary institutions in and about the city were sent Wednesday asking for the nf ol,f each who will attend MT. Davis said he be- lieved 100 automobiles will be enough, but this cannot be deter mined until the report on the mum Der of youngsters going has been made up.
 Committees of automobile club members will be formed within day or so and the several phases of the outing given to special representa- tires All preparatory work Is eX pected to be completed by the end of next week.

Dr. Bowling Declares Health Conditions Are Better Than
 For Years

"The department of health Is proud to state that no epidemic of any disease exists in Birmingham or Jeff ferson county at the present time, Dr. J. D. Bowling, county health of ficer stated Wednesday in eXplana- tion of number of calls to his of flee in preference to reported pre- valence of typhoid fever in Birming- ham
 For the first six months of the year 21 cases of typhoid fever have been reported in the city of Birming- ham, as compared with 70 cases for the same period last year. For the been reported against v for the cor responding period last year. Of the total number of cases reported for this year, 10 occurred in one out break in Bessemer, apparently due to milk, and 15 cases in Lewisburg, due to water" Dr. Bowling continued.
 The typhoid rate in Birmingham and Jefferson county as a whole has been reduced approximately 75 per cent since organized health work be- gan four years ago, it is stated. With pasteurization of milk, sewer exten- sion, fly control and food protection, which are declared almost within sight, physicians believe typhoid and colitis will cease to be a health prob lem in Jefferson county.
 In explanation of the departmen ent's work in waging campaign against communicable diseases, pr. Bowling pointed to the Leeds epidemic as a most remarkable example of concrete achievement. Here, a complete pro gram of sanitation was carried out. Last year, according to statistics. the town of Leeds had 32 cases of typhoid feSer and this year, up to the pres ent, has had only four cases, with a corresponding reduction in colitis, &C., cording to physicians there. For a number of years Leeds was &C., custNped to having an unusually large typhoid rate. but the disease is now declared to be practically a thing of the past.

 ANuEXA7I ION
Associated Business Men Ap- point Committee To Pro-
 test Action
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD EVo,, Alb U,,1xr 10


 The committee appointed from the Ensley Associated Business Men to protest against the passage of bill by Senator Brewer to bring into Birmingham the Ensley Steel Works and the Semet-Solvay plant will meet Friday. NJ. II. Dowell, chairman of the committee, is assembling infor- nation for the committee, which will not be available until that time, it was stated.
 In connection with the annexation bill, it was stated Wednesday by members of the committee that the western boundaries of Birmingham as now constituted were never changed or attempted to be changed when the Greater Birmingham bill passed and the present lines are those of the old city of Ensley, as always constituted. This being the case, 1t, was stated that the Tennes- see company was not concerned about the changes made under the Greater Birmingham bill and did not maintain any lobby a Montgomery in the interest of the measure, one way or the other. It was recalled here that the committee considering the Greater Birmingham bill by a vote of IS to 1 eliminated Ensley and only on representations to Governor Conner that a panic would take place in this district involving the old Peoples Savings bank, did the bill become changed. Then it was that the original lines of the Greater Br- mingham bill, including Ensley, were changed to take in Ensley. However, in nc respect were the lines tam pered with. The plants of the Ten nessee company here have always been out of the city limits by ex- press agreement when the plant, were built and that agreement has always been lived up to.
 The committee of Ensley business men in association with a commit tee from Fairfield will present the the legislative committee, it is stated, in an attempt to defeat the measure of MT, Brewer.
 There is the widest interest in the measure and no little apprehension that if the measure passes it will be a sad day for this district. The Ten nessee company has made no state ment, but it is well known that the company prefers that it be able to police it's own properties without i'm reference from municipal sources and 1t is the candid opinion in Ems ley and Fairfield that should this measure pass the Tennessee com pany will be seriously embarrassed and future construction will take place on it's own properties far re- moved from municipalities and where it can protect it's properties and it's employees as it thinks best.
