Lieutenant Governor Tells Birmingham Friends He Will
 Keep The Faith

Lieut. Gov. Charles F. McDowell of Eufaula is actively laying his plans to enter the race for governor of Alabama next time, according to in formation to friends of the Barbour county man in Birmingham Tuesday. Not discouraged by developments al the recent session of the legislature wherein it was shown that although he was elected lieutenant governor on a pledge of development of the port of Mobile he named a senate committee on the subject a majority of which was hostile to the project later admitting that he did not know the sentiments of the members of the committee when he appointed them, Mir. Mcdowell in letters to Birming- ham friends confesses his ambition to be promoted to the governorship next time. In fact the letters received appear to be mimeographed and art said to have been received in con- siderable numbers Tuesday. copy brought to the attention of The Age Herald reads as follows:
 "Confessing to you an ambition to be promoted to the governorship next time I'm trusting that when the time comes you will give me your aid and support. You know me, my record in the senate in 1919 and as lieu tenant governor. l just know l will suit you. I promise to keep the faith Yours truly,

Volunteer Donations Stimulate Enthusiasm Of Chest Campaigners

business men and business firms of Birmingham are convinced that the Community Chest plan is fundamen- tally sound: that it will accomplish what is claimed for 1t, and prove the best investment Birmingham can make.
 Arrangements have been com pleted to solicit every block of both the business and residential districts. This city wide canvass Is expected to extend to every firm doing busi ness in the city and to every home within it's environs. The business section will be handled by the gem eral committee, assisted by special flying squadrons, while the residence territory is being handled exclusive ly by the women's special committee, which has mapped 1t out in system. attic fashion and assigned leaders to each district.
 A special committee is handling the out-of-town corporations and firms with headquarters in other cities, and branches in Birmingham. These cor porations, which share in the pros perity of Birmingham, will be re- quested it is stated, to assume their full share of this community re- sponsibility Responses to inquiries sent out from headquarters indicate that in the case of most of these firms cooperation will be given. Names of contributors to the Chest fund will be published as the campaign pro gresses.

Inevitable Turkey, So Identi- fled With Day, The Words Are Synonymous

Birmingham, Thurseay, will re- enact, to the limit of her ability, less possible by actual civilization and progress of her genius, the scene which history for thousands of years tells.
 Gatherings will be the order of the day in Birmingham, while from the kitchen, there will come the savory cdor of baked turkey with oyster dressing, cranberry sauce, steamed rice, fruit cake and other good things.
 Thanksgiving in all its signifi- canoe S vividly implanted upon the minds of most with the arrival of tho seasons first turkey, that tradi- tionaI bird which annually falls prey to the trusty axe, at this sea- son of the year. G

 Commissioner Cloe said some of the dealers had defied the police de- partment to close them up, and went on record as favoring drastic action which would close up all places of business on Sunday.
 To this, Commissioner Dickson and others replied that the motoring pub lie was entitled to service on Sunday and that they would not vote for an ordinance prohibiting it. President McLendon suggested that the dealers get together and alternate in fur nishing Sunday service, but dealers promptly decleared this would not be a feasible plan.
 Long drawn-out arguments fol- lowed, during which a majority of the commissioners made it plain they favored hands off" policy unless the automobile accessory men ad- justed their differences and unai- mously petitioned for changes in the present Sunday closing ordinance.
 A proposal by several spokesmen that one of the automobile clubs be given sole authority to furnish tire service on Sundays, drew fire from other speakers and from members Of the commission, who expressed the opinion this would be discriminatory and illegal

Thanksgiving EUe Brings Thoughts About SaUary Smells Qf Cooking

In any other city of the south means but one thing in the main, turkey. Without our little feathered friend" Thanksgiving would be like Christ mas without kids and toys and socks and neckties, like a circus without horses and lions and clowns and bears; yet there are many hungry mouths that won't knaw drum sticks Thursday, and haven't for years. When the truth of that situation strikes home, then only Is Thanks giving appreciated in it's fullest measure.
 Many of the less fortunate will be thankful they live in Birmingham Thursday, for Birmingham, true to the spirit of Birmingham, will look after the needs of all those whose names are available. Thus is Thanksgiving really made in truth a day typical of the name 1t bears.
 Thanksgiving activities vary as widely as do the natures of those who have cause to reverence the day. and will in Birmingham Thurs day.

WICKERSHAM PREPARING
 HISTORY OF NORTHLAND

Work on the history of Alaska under preparation by James Wicker sham, former congressional repre- sentative to congress, is being de- layed on account of lack of fire proof quarters at Juneau for stor- age of the many historical publica- tions used in preparation.
 Judge Wickersham who spent the holidays in Seattle told represen- tative of the Seattle Alaska Dispatch it will probably be 1924 before the indexing for the history work will be complete, after which date the work will be hurried.
 The first Alaska exploitation was ordered by Peter the Great, and it will be from that date the Alaska historical review will start. The first edition will cover all the period between this first conquest of Alas ka up to the time of the transfer to America.
 For many years Judge Wicker sham has searched into worldwide records indexed 19,OO0 printed rec ords dealing with Alaska history.
 There has been during the past many stirring romances weaved around Alaska, and the conquest of the North by Russians, Spaniards and others will be accurately told in the Wickersham history.
