Solicitor Expects Work On Home For Nurses To Be-
 gin With Month
There has been a great deal of

There has been a great deal Of talk about the new nurses home, at Hillman hospital without any prog ress being made, but there IS going to be something doing in the way or actual building right away said Solicitor Jim Davis Friday in com menting on the appearance of the board of revenue berore the grand jury Thursday. It is expected that the new nurses home will be begun within two CT three weeks.
 1t is understood that the joint session participated In by the grand jury, the board of revenue and the city commissioners was, devoted almost entirely to discussion of ways and means of relieving the admittedly bad conditions now pre- vailing at the nurses home.
 The board of revenue agreed to help build the addition asked for, but requested that the city share in the expense. However. it was indicated Friday that the city commissioners would not warm up to the proposal, feeling that the hospital and nurses home were primarily county func- tions. The revenue boards request was based on the fact that many of the patients cared for at the hos pital were residents of the city and paid city taxes.
 No indication was given as to what effect the decision to build an addi- ton would have on the acceptance by the board of an offer for the free use of the old medical college build ing owned by the University of Ala bama in return for the expenditure of $6,0OO for repairs. This building was accepted on these conditions by the board of revenue last week for use In part as the nurses home.

 Will Join Movement

Birmingham manufacturing and ln- dcstrial institutions. are displaying keen interest in the recent proposal of the Chamber of Commerce to erect permanent signboards along the right of way of railroads entering the city that travellers might know they are in Birmingham, the wonder city of the south, o. l.. Bum stated Friday
 Letters of inquiry maile through . out ths district by the Chamber of Commerce have brought several fla vorable replies, Mir. Bum stated. The idea of the Chamber of Commerce is to advertise Birmingham, which word is to appear conspiciously on each sign erected.
 Proposals are made that the signs be erected on or near every indus trial plant within a radius of dozen miles, which are situated near rail- road. They will be sufficient size to be easily read from the train Win dows. Their message will be simple and to the point. phrases being fla vored featuring the word "Birming. ham,"
 In order that night travellers might know that Birmingham really is the wonder city of the south, many of the larger signs will be electric. Others will be illuminated. The proposition is presented to the industrial insti- tutions as an excellent advertising medium and a matter of civic pride.

DOGS HAVE DAY IN PENNSYLVANIA
 AVENUE PARADE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-(By Associated Press.)-Pennsylvania avenue, historic patchway of mighty pageants of war and peace, was today the route of the Strangest one of all. It was a procession of dogs-hundreds of just plain mutts headed by brass band parading on their way to the Mutt Dog show, con ducted by the Humane Educa- tion society.
 No dog was eligible to that pa rade unless his family coat of arms had a bar sinister and the more bars there were on the es- cutcheon the high he ranked. They pranced along, proud as kings, all sizes, colors, shapes, varieties and mixtures of breeds just plain dogs-the kind that has made little boys and girls happy and instilled lessons of de- votion and loyalty in human hearts since time began. And every enc was accompanied by somebody who loved him just as much as if he were the highest priced thoroughbred in the world.
 Handsomely dressed women who could afford pomeranians marched proudly along with pups that were intended to be collies, but turned out to look like set ters and imagined themselves airedales. Men who looked too busy to bother about a dog walked unashamed, custodians Of creatures weird and strange to the regular breeding of dogdom. Boys and girls carried in their arms shortlegged mutts that tired on the way, and the capital of the United States, at a busy hour, paused to look and reflect on 8 demonstration of humanitarian ism.
 Every dog has his day; this was the day of the proletariat.

 "Yes and mo-" came from Kemal. ifThe leagues error lies in that it :, sets up certain nations to rule, and slcther nations to be ruled. The Will ssaonian idea of elf-determination deems to be strangely lost

I say that long before the great war, which proved so costly to his coun- try largely because of German con- spiracy, he consistently opposed the German intrigue at Constantine pie. It was his violent objection to every thing German that caused Enver Pasha, who with Talaat Pasha di- vided the mastery of governm ent during the war, to seek to break him in the army service and get him out of the way
 Instead of ending KemaPs career Enver provided him with the means of redeeming Turkey and making himself the national hero. Kemal's antagonism to the Germans today Is ne less pronounced.
 With the bolsheviki Renal played a subtle and winning game. In the early days of the nationalist move meut he had urgent need of arms Moscow until he got what he wanted in the shape of supplies, and then gave them the cold shoulder.
 At that time the bolshevil<i looked upcn the new Turks as heaven born allies for the red conquest of the whole near east. They were the first to recognize the Angora government, and slil, maintain an elaborate mis- sion there.
 Renal and his chief colleagues are convinced that bolshevism has passed the peak and is on the down grade. If the "Bolos" think that they have willing tool In Renal they have another guess coming.-Isaac F. Marcosstn in the Saturday Evening Post
