MODERN REFRI CREATOR
 FOR CITY LABORATORY
Electrically Driven And Automatic
 Is Latest Innovation

Birmingham's City laboratory soon will be one of the most modernly equipped in the entire south, follow ing the recent purchase and the in- stallation at an early date of an au- tomatically controlled and electrical " driven refrigeration pant, pur- chase of which was approved by Mrs. Mary Echols, commissioner of health and education prior to her departure on her trip west.
 Efficient refrigeration and main tehan2c of constant and even temp erature is an absolute essential, au- thorlties claim to reliable laboratory work, and for long time the Jeff ferson county organization has been handicapped in this respect. The amount of work done, it is claimed, has long since reached the point where the small ice refrigerator boxes are inadequate.
 Negotiations looking the purchase and installation of this refrigeration plant have been underway for six months or more. As soon as the new plant is installed and ready for use. a large stock of vaccnes anti-toxins and various prophylactic materials Will be placed in storage immediately available for administration and dis tribution to the public through the medical profession. Anti-rabid treat ments will be included, already pre- pared and ready for imm ediate ad- miniStratiOn.
 The laboratory here, being branch of the state unit will become depot from which such treatments and laboratory materials will be distributed to the 27 counties which 1t serves. The new outfit, complete ly installed will cost about $500, and will be ready for use withing a short time.

ENSLEY CHURCHES TO OBSERVE. HARDING SERVICES.
Joint Memorial To Be Held Friday Morning At The
 Methodist Church
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD
 EnsleH Ala Anp H

Memorial services for the late President Harding, in which all the churches are expected to participate, will be held next Friday morning at the Ensley Methodist church. The services will begin about the time the funeral is being held for the for mer President at Marion, o. An nouncement to this effect was made Sunday morning at the First Meth odist church by Rev. ". II. Mans field. It was stated that an informal conference had been held by Dr. Mansfield and Dr. Griffin of the Ems ley Christian church, at which it was thought appropriate to hold serv- ices for President Harding. The service will also be complying with tho urgent request of President Coolidge, who, in his first proclama. tior, requested the people of Amer ica to assemble in their various places of worship and bow in rever- ent homage for the late President.
 In connection with this service for the late President it was suggested Sunday that the Ensiey merchants, at their meeting Tuesday would de- eide to close for the service Friday morning, reopening later in the day and after the funeral. It was fur ther suggested that the kiwanis club program scheduled to take the place of the regular program Thursday night also would be combined with the services Friday morning. How ever, that is a question that the en- tertainment committee of the Xii wanis club and the merchants will decide perhaps Monday or Tuesday. Announcement will be made during the week.
 That Ensley will fttngly observe the hours of the funeral has been definitely decided, although plans are necessarily indefinite. One sug~ gestion made was that every store in Ensley display sign on it's door ing hour, with a piece of crepe at stated, will be displayed by the larg- est and smallest stores in Ensley.
 A prayer of appealing simplicity and appeal was made at the Ensley Methodist church Sunday morning for Mrs. Warren Harding, the rela- tives of the former President and all of his countrymen, by Rev. w. H. Mansfield.
 The services at the church, it was stated Sunday, will consist of a brief eulogy of President Harding by two or three persons and a program of songs which are known to have been the favorites of the late President. The Ensley Methodist church will doubtless find that the Crowds at tending will tax the capacity of that commodious structure.

ICE CREAM OUTLAWED
England Places Regulations Upon
 Sale of Soft Drinks


 LONDON, August ..-(By Asso- ciated ress.)-Englund does not have to contend with prohibition, but, according to the ideas of the Ice Cream and Temperance Refreshment Trades federation, the regulations against the sale of ice cream and soft drinks would make Mir. Volstead envious.
 Under the present law the sale of this class of refreshment Is prohib- ited after 9:3o o'clock in the evening. The bone of contention Is that the West End clubs and hotels are all lowed to sell ice cream until mid night. while the working classes can not buy 1t after 9:30 o'clock. The regulation was enacted as a wartime measure.
 The federation will urge the labor party to place the matter before the House of Commons.
