"MORE MONEY" CRY
 RAISED BY OFFICERS
Bremen And Policemen Send An other Delegation To Commission

TO discuss again the requested raise in pay provided in the munich nal hudget, a number of firemen and nolicemen visited the city commits sioners Monday, but only a short session was held, owing to the ab- sence of Commissioner w. B. Cloe of the department of public safety, who was at home. somewhat indlsposed.
 There seemed to be some misunder- standing about the payroll during the day in that the roll as sent to department heads to be signed, did not show the increase in salary granted in the budget It was ex- plained that until the budget is officially adopted the old rates of pay will stand, but as soon as the budget is adopted additional vouchers will be sent to all affected making up the difference, with all raises dating from October l.
 While the delegation of officers had little to say on the subject 1t is said they were not satisfied with the S10 raise for privates and $5 raise for officers, recently provided.
 An impromptu meeting was held In the council chamber, President D. ID. McLendon making a short talk to the policemen and firemen present. J. L. Watkins of the fire departm ent also made a short talk on the subject.
 Because of the absence of Commis- sioners Cloe and Harrison the meet ing was postponed until the full com mission can be present.

How to Make Pine Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results. Takes but n moment to prepare,
 and saves you about $2.

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip- tions and remedies for coughs. The reason is that pine contains several clements that have remarkable effect in soothing and healing the membranes of the throat and chest. ] Pine cough syrups are combinations of pine and syrup. The syrup" part is usually plain sugar syrup.
 To make the best pine cough remedy that money can buy, put 2M ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up with home made sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make full pint more than you can buy ready-made for three times the money. It is pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
 You can feel this take hold of cough or cold in way that means business. The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight, or may be persist. ently loose from the formation of phlegm. The cause is the same--in- famed membranes-arid this. Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it -iisually in 24 hours orsless. Splen- did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse- ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
 Pinex is highly concentrated com pound of genuine Norway pine ex. tract, and is famous the world over for it's prompt effect upon coughs.
 Beware of substitutes. Ask your druggist for @21e ounces of Pinex" with directions, and don't accept any thing else. Guaranteed to give abso- lute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex O., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

LATE FOR EXECUTION
And Two Condemned Paquans Were
 Full Of Apologies


 If one may venture to generalize at all about Paquans, think one may say that they are very intelli- gent people at g. very low stage of development, that In spite of their almost insane craving for bloodshed they are readily amenable to disci- pline, and that they have keen ap- -preciation of justice.
 I remember two natives policeman who had been sentenced to death for murder, and who were to be taken by the Merrie England. the govern ment steamer, to Port Moresby--as they believed. to be hanged. .
 When the Merris England was about to start it was found that they were not on board, but in re- sponse to much shouting and whis- ting they at last arrived, in a state of breathless agitation, and full of apologies-they had quite forgotten. they said, that they were to be hanged at Port Moresby, or they would never have thought of going so far away from the steamer.
 I suppose. that they argued that they had had fair trial and that they must stand by the consequences: and in this particular case, I am glad to say that it was found possible to reduce the death sentence to very short terms of imprisonment.-J. H. F. Murray in Stead's Review (Mel- bourne).

.DR. .BANT|NC HEARD.
 BY 2OO PHYSICIANS
Famous DiScoverer Of lnsuIin Tells Doctors Results Of
 New Treatment

Approximately 200 physicians from Jefferson county and all over Ala bama were present Monday night at the Country club to greet Dr. F. c. Banting. the young Canadian doc tor, made famous by his discovery of insulin for the treatment of dla- betes, and to hear him describe the work done by himself and his asso- ciates to free society of one of it's greatest curses.
 Introduced as the greatest con- etributor to the worlds knowledge of diabetes" Dr. Banting spoke infor- mally of the fight that has been made through the centuries to conquer this disease, which was mentioned as early as the sixth century. The eX- periments, at first unsuccessful, on dogs in his laboratory. in Toronto, were described in some detail. The first indication he had that his ex- periments were to be successful, he said, was the increased strength and vigor observed in these dogs, after they were treated.
 Persons taking insulin in the treat ment of diabetes have been greatly helped and in many cases entirely cured, he said, and even when 1t Is decided to go back to the old manner of treatment the insulin has had no harmful effect on the system or made 1t less responsive to treatment one case was mentioned in which per sons vitality was so increased that he required 2,700 caiories instead Of less than 1000 as heretofore, No extravagant claims were made for his treatment, but it was recommeno- ed as a distinct step in the conquer ing of disease.
 Dr. Scale Harris presided at the meeting. Wr W. W. Harper, presi- dent of the Alabama Medical associa-- tion, and Mrs. c. l.. Harris, president of the Jefferson County Association of Doctors Wives, also made short addresses.

CITY PROPERTY TO BE| SHOWN ON BLUE PRINT
General Survey Of Economic Condi- tiOns Planned; Neew More Income

4 Blue prints are scheduled to be made of all municipal property. They are wanted when the city takes stock" so that the municipal ity. especially in floating bond and other financial matters, will know just what it has, what the property is like and can come close to a real estimate of values.
 At the meeting of the city commits sion Tuesday Commissioner w. P. Dickson will introduce resolution to employ a draftsman for two months. at a salary of $150 month, to make the blue prints.
 The city Is preparing to hold a general survey of it's economic po- sition. The financial department, as is customary every year. wilt be checked by expert accountants, $1 800 already having been set asida by resolution to pay for this work.
 The work being done is considered by several men in position to know as the first steps toward an effort to raise the annual income. Birming- ham, it is said, has been running for the past three years on an annual income of slightly more than S4.000,- 900. This sum, because of the rapid growth of the community, has be- come inadequate, and consideration of ways and means to bring income up to needs is a live thought in the citiy hall.
 City Comptroller H. M. Taylor was asked Monday morning what he thought the annual income should be. He said S6,0e9,000 year Is now a necessity. r
 Commissioners are worried about what they have termed the recog- nlzab1e demands of policemen and firemen for more money. Added to this, they say is the need for more municipal equipment and additional policemen and firemen.

OLDEST APPLE ORCHARD
Was Planted In New Mexico By A
 Spanish Priest In 1885

Nesting on the foo .Aills of the Manzano range, in central New Mex ico, is what a writer in American Forestry declares to br one of the oldest apple orchard in America Reviewing its history, we read that one Fray Geronimo de la Llama, a Spanish priest, brought from Mexico City In 1885 the apple seeds that started the venerable Manzano or chard near one of the largest springs In New Mexico. It appears have flourished, and in 1875 the last of the Apaches, and silence descended on the region in which the orchard IS located.
 In 1S46 Lieut.. J. w. Albert of the United States army, with a scouting party of troopers, visited the Man Zano east slope villages, then in- habited for nearly half century by Mexicans, who had in several in- stances built their towns on the sites of the old Indian pueblos. He was the first to write of the Manzano orr chard and the Saline pueblo ruins in the English language, and he com mented on the fact that the trees were planted very close together. This is an important observation, as even 80 years ago this orchard was sprout growth. resulting from A'CCo hAAtt beAQ bCCAA PAof'NNN NiiSt V long before. At a fandango held while Lieutenant albert and his troopers were there, it was noted that one of the natives went about the hall selling apples"
 In 1880 Adolf F. Bandelier, the best known historian of the early Ameri- can days of the New Mexico region, visited Manzano, and his investiga- tion led him to affirm that the origin of the old apple orchard predated 1875.
 As it stands today, the orchard is in two groups-one of fifty trees al the foot of low hill bearing on its crest a stone cross, the trees on the edge of a considerable artificial reservoir catching the flow of the great spring that literally bursts from the hillside a quarter mile up the cannon. Another small group of Is trees is distant a few hundred yards down the canyon and beyond to the conquistador days.
 The trees are obviously sprout growths, we read, many of them in groups of two or three starting from common center where once grew tree now entirely decayed and gone. The present stand of trees is quite decadent, many being more than half dead. They still bear fruit that is used. the apples, however, being quite small, obviously seediqgs.-Current Opinion.

WOMEN WORKERS GAIN

There are today more than s.5oo.- 900 women gainfully employed In the United States, representing an increase of 474,000 in the last 10 years. This Is nearly a quarter of the entire female population over 10 years of age, while 20 years ago the proportion was nearer Q sixth than a fifth. And we get this total fn- crease in spite of<the marked de- crease in domestic Servants, for in 1900. with a much smaller popula- ton, we had over 2,095,0 900 servants, while In 1920 we had but 1,012,o00 Women are leaving not only their homes, but other peoples! In fac- tory, store and office young women find companionship and freedom out of working hours which more than compesate them for the better pay and lighter labors of homework and we may expect this exodus from the older trade to continue, at least un- til private service has been reor- ganized and its status raised.-Be- atrice Forbes Robertson Hale, in Cur rent History Magazine.

 When he arrived in Libau, accord ing to the story he told department of justice officials, Soviet commits sioners met him and refused to let him land, because they did not want any anarchists. He was shipped to the free city of Danzig. Tired of Danzig, Severny slipped over the bor- der to Poland and was arrested, June 9, 1921, by Polish authorities. On June 19, 1921, they deported him to Kiev, Ukrania, from whence he went to his native town of Warnole, Uk- rania.

On January S, 1922, they released him and he went to Holland. In Holland, he said, confederates got him an af- fidavit from a farmer in Canada that B job awaited him there. Severny said he got aboard a steamer bound for Montreal, as a stowaway. was discovered in mid-ocean and was put in Irons, and arrested when he arr rived In Montreal. The affidavit that a job awaited him got him hls release while deportation proceedings were under way and Severny travelled to the farm, where he remained a month.
 Recently he went to Ford City. Ontario, and then crossed to Detroit as a visitor. He was arrested and turned over to department of justice agents, who found he had been de- ported from Chester, Pa, more than three years ago. He was promprry charged with violating the immigra- tion laws by re-entering the United States. Severny, if convicted of vio- lating the inimi grafton laws. faces @ penalty of from one to five years and then deportation again.
 .If the anarchists, communists and bolshevists in the United States would spend just one week in, Rus sia they would be cured" Severny said from his cell in the jail.
