INCENSED AT BRITISHER
sarcastic Remarks Made By Sir John Bradbury aneDt Treaty Causes Quite Hurry in France.

Paris, Nov. 1i.--The attitude adopt cd by Sir John Bradbury. the Brit ish delegate, at yesterdays meeting of the reparation commission caused caustic comment in French circles today. The sarcasm which he em- ployed in his remarks was regarded as little calculated to help along any kind of settlement but instead to risk making his own position difficult.
 He practically disavowed the sec- tion Of the treaty on which the Ger man application for a hearing by the commission was based. The French remark that the British delegate in this instance was seemingly more

MOTORS DRIVE BIRDS
Feathered SOngsters Cannot stand
 Discharge Of MonOxide Gas

Carbon monoXide discharged into the air by thousands of motor cars Is responsible for the great decrease of trd life in and around New York, according to a correspondent of the New York Tribune. Less than one tenth the number of certain birds ob- served around New York 20 years ago now remain. he maintains.
 Many years ago it was found that small birds are peculiarly suscepti- ble to monoxide poisoning. In fact, a canary will exhibit symptoms of distress in an atmosphere containing so little carbon monoXide as to be totally inappreciable to man, and for this reason canaries have long been used in mines for detecting the first traces of this dangerous gas poison
 Now, it Is estimated that 'automo- piles in New York discharge in the neighborhood of 100 million cubic feet of carbon monoxide in their exhaust each day, and these gases in drifting about the streets have made the air SC offensive to bird life that, na- turally enough, the sparrows have left.
 Twenty years ago, one of the pleasures of summers day drive in the country was in observing the number and variety of birds. Todays birds are seldom seen near much used highways, although many are still to be found along the byroads One curious result of the condition Is that farmers are complaining that their farms are becoming infested with a pest of birds, which cause much damage to the crops.-Detroit News.

POLICE REPORT FEW JULY 4 ACCIDENTS
Birmingham Spends Best Be- haved Fourth In Many
 Years

Two white people, one young child, the other the child's father, and four negro men are in hospitals Thursday recuperating from injuries received in celebration of the Fourth of July in Birmingham.
 Three of the negroes at the Hill man hospital are victims of a shoot ing affray which occurred on Twen- ty-third street and Avenue c. The fourth negro was badly beaten over the head with a revolver in the hands of the negro who did the shooting. All of the negroes were returning from a picnic on the Cahaba river.
 According. to the police files, the Fourth just passed was decidedly less boisterous than in past years. Dur ing the morning and afternoon off, cers made few calls to any part of disturbances. Most of the disorder started after 6 o'clock in the after noon.
 A complete check on hospitals and files of the police department showed few automobile wrecks in the Bir- mingham district This is consid- cred exceptional by police authori- ties. owing to the numbers of people who went to the rivers to enjoy the holiday.
 Since midnight July nine men were arrested for drunkeness. eight for violation of the prohibition law, four for disorderly conduct, two for reckless driving and one for unlaw- ful discharge of firearms within the city limits. Birmingham settled down to a quiet Fourth this year. There were fewer violations than in 1922.

GOVERNMENT PAID WOMEN, BOWLING REPLIES TO BOARD
County Invited To Keep h. formed Of Work At Health
 Meetings

Considerable public interest has been aroused In the Bowling revenue board squabble since Dr. J. D. Dowl- payments he made to Mrs. Lillian Bowling, Miss Zoe LaForge and Miss Elizabeth LaForge were paid from government funds and not from the county. This reply was made by pr. Bowling following the passing of a resolution at the meeting of the board of revenue Tuesday in which a cor rect report of the disbursements of the health department for the fis- cal year ending June 30, 1923, was asked, the board claiming that the names of the three women were omit ted and that they were paid S135, $25 and $50 per month out of the funds from the Shepperd- Towner act.
 The hepperd-Towner act provides for appropriations by the federal government to match dollar for dol lar of the county.
 -.c day of the passing of the T. -.on, pr. Bowling admitted nj i---, the women but stated that as they were not paid out of the funds of the county he did not think that he had to report the employment of the women to the county. Their money was secured from the health department. a distinctly different source than the revenue board, he stated.
 DOwling's Statement
 The following statement was issued by Dr. Bowling Wednesday,:
 The money paid Mrs Bowling and the Misses LaF'orge did not come from the county but came from the fed eral funds. The Shepperd -Towner act appropriates money to match the county's funds and the amount Jeff terson county gets is S10,500. The county matches this amount. The nurse and the additional money paid the others came from the federal fund.
 The county asked how it's s10.50o had been spent and 1 reported. A full record of the expenditures made by the Jefferson county health depart ment Is on record here and in Mont gomery and is open to the public Tor inspection.
 While not desirous of engaging Tn controversy with the board of revenue, 1 would like to point out that the president of the board is an eX-officto member of the board of health and is always notified before hand of the time of the meetings.
 There is no reason why the county board should not be fully informed ed of the health department activities if the members would attend the meet ings of the health board"
