Boys in the Alabama Boys Indus trial school at East Lake receive bet ter medical, surgical and dental at tention than do the boys in any like institution in the United States in the opinion of those familiar with con- ditions existing In industrial schools throughout the country. Like the boys band-the hospital wants to head the list.
 The hospital in. the school occupies the entire second floor of the John son building at the school. It con- sists of a large main, ward with a capacity of Is beds and a connect ing, screened-in sleeping porch. There are two isolation wards for infec- tious and contagious diseases.
 The hospital has a modern operat- ing room and an. up-to- date dental clinic. Strict attention Is paid to sterilization in the operating room and all extraction in the dental clin- ic is done as near as possible in a painless manner. A dining room and a diet kitchen for convalescents and necessary bath rooms and an office complete the hospital.
 Those in Charge
 The hospital of the school Is under the supervision of Dr. J. N. ISlllough of Woodlawn, visiting physician, and Paul A. Wiebe, resident officer in charge. Dr. Killough has been the visiting physician of the school for 20 years. serving during much of this time without pay. MT. Wiebe took charge of the hospital in No- vember, 1920. Before becoming con nected with the Industrial school hospital he was assistant superin- tendent of the Emergency hospital at Washington, D. c. He served 27 months with the medical. depar tment of the United States army and is a surgical assistant and anesthetist. He is also an authorized Red Cross instructor in first aid.
 Each boy who enters the industrial school is sent to the hospital for an examination and record of his con- dition is started. This record is kept with great care during his stay at the institution. The weight of the boy from time to time; the injuries he sustains while in the school, and information as to dental work and like things are entered on this rec ord. Soon after admission to the school each boy is inoculated against typhoid fever, is vaccinated against smallpox and Is examined for hook worm. El

MESSAGE IF GOODI CHEER FUR 1923. EROM DR. BRYAN.
Police and Fire Departments Hear Dr.. Bryan at City Hall-Purse For
 Minister

message of good cheer and the hope that tho year of 1923 would be one of prosperity for the members of the Birmingham police and fire de- parements as well as the city as whole. was sent out by Rev. J. A. Bryan. the grand old man of the alinistry' pastor of the Third Pres oyterian church, at a well attended gathering of city officials and en- Dloyes in the police court room Sun day afternoon at o'clock.
 Prior to the opening of his rema rk s pr. Bryan was presented with a purse of sl0o and a basket of beautiful flowers from members of the fire and police departments by Rev. Robert \. Simpson ot the First Christian church. In presenting the gift as the token of the esteem in which the ven erable minister Is held by the city employees, Dr. Simpson stated that there were three types of men in the world, a5 well as three especial types of trees. The types of trees Dr. Simpson alluded to were the peculiar species, Cne whose branches turn to- wards the ground, representing the type of men who are listless of the happenings of the world about them; second, the tree whose branches turn towards the sky, representing the man always asking for blessings for himself, and the third. the tree whose branches are natural and who cast shade over the groun dfrom the sun. This class of mankind is that to which Dr. Bryan belongs, the speaker declared, one who is willing. and does help his fellow, men.
 W. B. Cloe, commissioner of public safety, delivered a short address at the close of the service, in which he declared that he wanted the people of Birmingham to know him as he was. Cloe declared that he was Christian and that he intended to attend to his duties as public safety commissioner as his conscious guided him. He stat ed that he had been criticised on every side, but that his actions were criti- ciSed because he>was acting upon the dictates Of his conscious.
 The police court room was beauti- fully decorated with American flags. cut ferns and beautiful flowers. Ap- proximately three-fourths of the people that comfortably filled the court room were detectives. police men, firerhen, city officials and their wives.
 A splendid musical service was rem dered at the meetinav by the Birming- ham quartet, composed of four of the lea ding male choristers of the city.

 Devised Chart
 Much of the success at the hospital is said to be due to the efforts of Mir. Wiebe. His, work during the last two years has been highly praised by Governor Kilby and others connected with the school.
 He has devised chart for the hos pital department of the school, which ana State Training school at Mon roe, La Through his efforts much new equipment has been placed In the hospital and many doctors, sur geons and dentists have consented to give part of their time to the school hospital.

GLASS MAKES PLEA FOR AMERICAN HELP IN WORLD PROBLEMS

Tt is not question of whether we want to enter European affairs" de- clared Frank P. Glass, prominent editor. before a large audience at the Lyric theatre at Sunday nights serv- Ice of the Independent Presbyterian church. We are already involved in European tangles, and have been since the day we entered the World war. It is the duty of our nation to help in strengthening out the politi- cal and economic problems of the world"
 MT. Glass address was in the na- ture of farewell to friends in Bir- mingham, since he is leaving soon for St., Louis, where he will become editor and half owner of the St. Louis Star. He has lived in Birmingham for about 10 years.
 None of the great problems that now confront the world can be settled unless the United States becomes a party to conferences and negotiations being conducted with view to bring ing about peace and stability, de- clared MT. Glass. Many interesting experiences were related of the speakers recent tour of more than a year in three continents. Political unrest among all nations was the object of special emphasis.
 "In the Philippines, which are under American rule; India, under British dominion, and even Egypt, you find this same spirit of restlessness." he said, People are everywhere look ing upward and trying to climb to higher and better things. The tragedy is that they so often adopt the wrong methods Of doing so."
 Preceding MT. Glass address the trained chorus of 50 voices, under direction of o. Gordon Erickson, rendered two selections, Vests anthem "The Eternal God is Thy Refuge" and Sullivans anthem, "rhe Lost Chord" and Mrs. May Shackel- ford, soprano soloist, rendered the of- fertory solo How Beautiful Upon the Mountains" by r.

Telephone calls to Harrisons home throughout the aft ernoon, however, failed to bring any response.

Moore. who works in Dickson's department, has been charged by McLendon with. having placed man going under the name of Easley on his pay roll who did not actually work for the city. and with drawing hls pay. Dickson has fought since Thursday morning, when the charges were first taken up by the commission in conference, to hold off action until the return Of Com lHlSslOiler daFr1SOns

He had been at his office until after 8 o'clock the night before, a portion of which time he was in con- ference with Moore in the latter's of flee.
 Commissioner Dickson was able to answer telephone call Sunday, and he told newspaper representatives that he was feeling better. No phy- sician had been summoned, he said.
 Action on Tuesday
 Action on President McLendon's 8 charges will now go over until the regular meeting of the commission Tuesday, at which time he has an- nounced his intention of presenting a resolution demanding Moore's dismiss sal and of fighting for its adoption.
 Moore has steadfastly refused to make any statement to newspaper men. All conferences on McLendon's charges have been closed to the press upon objection by Commissioner Dickson. Other commissioners ex- pressed a willingness to admit re. porters to some of the conferences.

 Turning to the building trades, he said:
 That extravagant building costs directly governing ever increasing rental are brought about by the bri- gandage of the building trades unions is recognized by all and denied by none. The only apparent answer to this problem is the adoption of the open shof policy of employment in this troubled industry"
 Denouncing the immigration law, Barr went on:
 "The effect of restricting the supply of unskilled labor under the existing seriously felt in Industrial and agri- cultural centers. It has increased the cost of living by strengthening the positions. of the unions enabling them to still further arbitrarily to raise wages and limit production.
 Fewer available workers are ar irving; there IS larger proportion of women and children who are not wage-earners; the national groups from which industrial workers are drawn have a surplus of immigrants, while the non-industrial type of inn migrant shows an increase"
 After urging selective immigration, MT. Barr made the following sugges- tion:
 Possibly through the joint action of the Federal departments of com merce, agriculture and labor we might secure an interpretation of the law which would permit the admission of aliens under contract when there is proven shortage in any branch of agriculture or industry"
