ANOTHER MEET |NG
 REGARDING PAVING SET FOR SATURDAY
Citizens And Commissioners To Confer On First
 Avenue Problem

Having reached what appears to be an "impasse" in negotiations with the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company in regard to changing the part of the citys agreement with the utility concern ingppark for First avenue in the Nood1awn section of the car lines to East Lake, another council meet ing has been called.
 Commissioners of the city and a committee representing East Lake and Woodlawn property owners and citizens will meet in the audience chamber of the president at 9 o'clock Saturday morning for further dis cusSion.
 Having agreed to terms two months ago, settlements made, and two months having elapsed since the publication of the agreement, the city's hands are admittedly tied. In addition, the road in question is in reality the private property of the utility, it's right of way, and as far as ordering paving is concerned, out of municipal Jurisdiction, occord- ing to city officials.
 The approach of the city to the subject has been based on the fore going facts, stated in the council meeting last Tuesday by Commis- sioner W. L. Harrison, who handled the city's settlement with the utility, and by w. J. Wynn, city attorney.
 The company is known to have taken the position that in the hands of a receivership, without means Of raising additional heavy finances. paving project calling for sum in the neighborhood of quarter of a million dollars, is simply out of the question.
 In their conferences with the city officials. the committee of citizens have expressed their wish that, paw ing being unprocurable, they pre- fer the roadway of First avenue tc remain as it is rather than have parkway installed.
 At The meeting Saturday morning the subject will be gone over again and way to procure paving sought. 1'Le committee has expressed the willingness to stand sponsor for costs, if the sum will eventually be retired by the utility. The commit tee also states it's belief that of all tie lines in the city, the East Lake service is best patronized, and In their jud dgment. if independent of the rest of the city street car service. would be or a paying basis.
 Speaking of the matter Friday morning, Commissioner Harrison said he did not consider the matter closed and hoped to find ways and means for d solution that would sat isfy the utility and gain, at the same time, the improvements many citizens want.

INCREASES STICK, BANK TENANT TSF IND
Wells Intimates Other Rent Raises Will Come If
 Found Necessary

Oscar Wells, president of the First National bank, Friday told members of a committee appointed to confer With him relative to a proposed in crease re' of 20 per cent in rent for offices in that building that nothing could or would be done by bank officials in the matter. He told the committee the building was not bringing in sufficient revenue on the capital invested. and further inti- mated 1t was stated, that the pres ent increase might not be the only one. He gave no assurance to ten ants that additional increases would time. A
 Erection of a new office building relief through legislative enactment; or sitting quietly by and pay the rent increase was pointed out as the three alternatives facing tenants at an adjourned meeting ar o'clock Friday aftertoon, at which about 25 were present.
 On motion of Judge Horace Will kerson. committee of five lawyers will be appointed to look into the feasibility of asking for relief through legislative enactment. No law exists, 1t was stated by law yers present. to prevent owners of office buildings increasing rents at their discretion. The tenant can pay the rent or move. This condition exists in Birmingham because the demand for offices Is greater than the supply.
 To Investigate Building.
 A second motion called for an ad- ditional committee of five tenants of the First National Bank building who will make investigations rela- tive to the advisabil of purchase of ground and erecting an office building by professional men of Bir- mingham. These committees will be appointed within the next few days and make immediate investigations of the issues involved.
 The only concession obtained from Mir. Wells was that he would allow tenants 30 days time to consider the proposal of a 20 per cent rent increase. He said they must pay or move. the committee reported.
 Birminghams phenomenal growth has resulted in marked scarcity of office space, it was argued at the meeting. Owners of office build ings probably will continue with their rent increases was the opin- ion expressed. Relief, to be perma- nert, must come of the combined efforts and corporation of every of- flee building tenant in the city, it was pointed out, and to that end, mass meeting probably will be called in the near future and the situation will be put before them. In the mean time. committees to be appointed will investigate legisla- tive enactment, or the advisability of tenant-oWned building as two pos sible means of relief.

SOCIAL WORKERS.
 CAIN IN BABY FIGHT.
City Welfare Department Aids In Screening Every
 Sick Room Reported

It took one month of steady drive and more than $500 for the city well fare department to make an impress sion on adverse conditions to which i'll babies of the poor were subject in the Birmingham district, but with the end of the four weeks in sight the department is not aware of single sick baby that is in an un- screened room, that is without proper medicine or nourishment.
 Save for the screening done, all supplies given are of a temporary nature. for medicine is soon used and ice melts. but these needs have been supplied in every case for the time being.
 F. A. Culley superintendent of the city welfare department, again asks that any and all persons in Greater Birmingham who know of babies sui fering for want of screens, medicines or food supplies, notify his office at once and the staff will do all in their power to give relief.
 MT. Culley also again urges those who intend to contribute checks to the work to address them to:
 Save a Baby Fund" City Welfare Department, City Hall, Birmingham. Alabama.
 Additional checks received in the last day or so exceed $50, bringing the total contributed to the work to $65S.20, the receipts being as fol- lows:

 IOldl 3oooSU In the fight against colitis much of the money was spent for wire screening, and its installation. A con- siderable amount went for sheets in cases where there were none. Ice medicine, food suitable to children, milk and other necessities called for considerable expenditures. There is some of the money left, enough to buy perishable necessities for a few days. When it is gone the. need for additional funds will be as great as ever.
 Packages of clothes for little chil- dren, and sheets are received from time to time through parcel post de- livery, but there is great need for all the sheets that can be supplied, not only for sanitary reasons in colitis cases, Dut to relieve tired mothers of the extra work the con- stant handling of bedding requires.

lowest death rate of any state in the
Union and that there are only three
states with a lower death rate in

ance is entirely reasonable as COM

Perry succumbed. His dog, his old
white horse, his cats, his animal
friends, must be hungry. He told
Judge Lentz of the district court that
he would promise. The railroad runs
unmolested.

Perry tells in broken French n
English of the time he slid the logs
across the tracks and broke a rail-.
Terror gripped the man. He had no
malice for the passengers. The rail-
road-that was the trouble. So he
hobbled down the tracks, to flag b

rail. But" he concluded, they did
not run for a little WHILE"
Lawyers say that if Perry wins his
case, the railroad will face the tre-
mendous problem of finding another
route across the mountains other
than the narrow defile, long used by
the Indians and ruled over by Peter
Perry in a cabin. Marent trestle, the

BOARD OF HEALTH
WORK REVIEWED
TEN YEAR WAR AGAINST Ty.
PHOD FEVER HAS BEEN
VERY EFFECTIVE
In 1910 There Were $50 Deaths.
While in 1921 There Were But 20:
Mountain Streams Carry Much
COntagiOn.

DR.. w. S. Cogswell, executive head
of the Montana board of health. made
an address in Great Falls recently in
which he reviewed the work accom-
plished by the board during the past
10 years. A striking proof of value
was set forth in the record OF typhoid
fever cases. The death rate in Mon
tana from this disease in 1910 was
1913 per 100000 of population. The
death rate for the year 1921, was
3.5 per 100000 Of population. In
1910, we had 1900 cases of typhoid
fever in the state and there were 23O
deaths. In 1921, there were only 20
deaths.
The speaker brought out the fact
that whereas mountain streams were
a natural and wholesome water sup
ply in the early days, that they, in
the course of years, carried much
contamination, and it was only
through a well arranged law passed
by the legislature whereby streams
of the state were put under the con-
troll of the board of health that we
have been able to control the situa-
ton. There are 1O8 public water
supplies in the state subject to ex-
animation, and there are 80 of these
supplies that have treatment plants.
The history Of Great Falls was re-
called back to the time when the state
board of health was obliged to con-
the water supply of the city.
This action vas a part of the reason
for the putting in of the plant which
is now described by DR.. Cogswell as
one with splendid equipment. The
was made that since the
present plant has been in operation,
there has not been a single case of
fever in that city attributable
to the water supply.
DR.. Cogswell went on to illustrate
how disease is checked by the work
the state board. He told of a case
where 40 cases of typhoid fever had
from one person carrying
he disease who was milking COWS at
of the hotels in the state. In an
,ther instance, diphtheria was being
'pread by a carrier in the person of
professor in a school. The state

indeed, this department was more

ear.

Arrival at Manila
Sailing from San Francisco on
July 10, touching at Honolulu July
% and resuming the voyage from
that delightful port on August 8, the
Pennsylvania dropped anchor in Ma
Mia bay off Cavite, the old Spanish
naval station, on the morning of Au-
gust "a. Owing to delay incident to
arrangement of quarters, it was well
after dark that the troops embarked
from the ship into lighters and land
ed at the antiquated and ill-smelling
f~ortification. Almost impenetrable
darkness prevailed, as the troops sill
emily tramped through gloomy and
decayed passages, emerging occasion
ally where a glimpse of the star-lit
southern skies furnished the only evil
dence of the gay and joyous civiliza-
ton left so far behind. At times,
through the gloom, came the flash of
the welcome lantern, the white stripe
on the officers trousers betoking an
effort to find the way through the
intricate labyrinth of dark passages,
and foul dungeons of Stygian black
ness. At last, after what seemed to
nave been hours of chilling horrors,
he troops emerged into an open
lrea, surrounded as the morning
light later displayed, by moss-grown
Masonry walls, where opportunity
vas afforded for the first time in
more than a month to unfold our
lankets and make down our bed on

Series of Mysteries
Life at Cavite was an unfolding !
f a series of mysteries after mys-
cries; the native marauders of the
parish wrecks in the harbor, the ma

nd strange modes of living, mon
