 STAMP CONCERN
Temporary Order Issued By Judge Grubb In
 Hearing

In bankruptcy hearing of the Profit Sharing Stamp company in federal court, United States District Judge W: I.,aGrubb Saturday refused to appoint a receiver but issued restraining order with the consent of the president, A. ". B.

 The court in its decision orders that the books of the Profit Sharing Stamp company be placed in charge of the Birmingham Trust and Savings com pany until the, case is finished and names w. J. Christian as auditor of the books.
 The court orders further, that none of the 150 shares of the stamp company owned by the Britling company be transferred, nor that any such transfer be recorded; that no more stamps of the Profit Sharing Stamp company be sold or redeemed that collections on what is due the company Ons coupons be made and deposited i'll special fund at the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank, It is also commanded in the courts order that the Britling company pay out to it's creditors other than the Profit Sharing Stamp company no more than Is received in each month ; but provides that should th.s rule be disregarded, it must pay the latter. con eern on a like prorata basis on its claims.

A. N. t. ARRANGES FOR ENCAMPMENT.
Strenuous Efforts Being Made To Increase
 Numbers

Final efforts are being made by Ma tionaT guard units stationed at Birming- ham to complete arrangements for at tendance of these units at Camp Me Clellan, August Il to 25. During this period, the Birmingham Sabers and the Third battalion, One Hundred, and Sixty-seventh infantry will receive two weeks field training at the camp near Anniston. All companies of the Third battalion, One Hundred and Sixty seventh infantry, with the exception of Company I, stationed at Ensley, are up to required strength and are certain of making the trip to Anniston. Com pany I, however, is slightly under strength and if required strength Is not reached within a week, this com pany will, for the first time ill it's history, fail to attend camp.
 Due to the cooperation of the busi- ness men of Birmingham in permitting young men to attend camp for two weeks without the loss of pay, all com panies within the city proper have been rapidly filled with an excellent class of young men. The officers of these companies are determined to make the two weeks spent at camp not only q benefit but real pleasure for those attending.
 Reports received from units all over the state and from the results shown by the last annual inspection, much more may be expected of Alabama guard units this year than in the past. In a statement given out to National guard officers at the last drill, Captain Wal thour said, T have just returned from a two weeks tour of duty with the North Carolina National guard. As you know, North Carolina has repu- tation of having the most efficient guard in the Fourth corps area. Of course, they have natural advantage over the Alabama guard in that the state pays both officers and men for their services and provides larger ap- populations for equipment and ar.

Community Chest Does
 Work Despite Handicap
Cooperative Soliciting, Giving And Supervision
 Are Organizations Objects

Charity work, is not generally consid- cred business, in the strict sense of the word, but nevertheless, large part of the time of the charity workers was at one time taken up with worry over where and how to procure the funds necessity to carry out their plans of relief and succor to the poor and needy. Different charity agencies have differ ent fields of endeayor, and each had to look out for its own support. Each had to conduct it's own campaign, or tag day, or benefit entertainment at regular time intervals by which they secured, or tried-to secure, the money to continue their work: Naturally this condition led to dissipation of energy and time. How to relieve the deplorable eondi- tion? The question was answered with the establishment of the Community Chest.
 Community Chest
 The Community Chest? Probably everyone has heard of the Community Chest, but equally as probable, few know it's real function and method of operation, it's aims concretely expressed, and the fruits of its efficiency as sys- tenn of financing charities.
 Its establishment in Birmingham a year ago was new thing here, but the system had proved it's worth in more than 125 cities in both the United States and Canada, where it has been in use for periods ranging from two to ten years. The, Birmingham business civic organizationA charity and welfare agencies saw the need of fhp chaet in this city and proceeded to found one. It at once met with popular favor, as evi- denced by the campaign for $45O, 900 last December.
 1, The method by which it saves the ef- forts of the actual charity workers is this. The money it collects in it's annual drive is apportioned. according to the budget submitted by. each beneficiary stating what amount is necessary to continue the particular work of the or ganization for the year. There are 35 such institutions which are thus sup
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-03

ported, and it is seen. therefore that only one large campaign each year takes the place of 35 smaller drives which the organizations formerly depended upon for funds. Cooperative soliciting, co-op- erative giving, and cooperative super vision, are the aims of the chest, and it ably lives up to these ideas of the perfect charity system, say beneficia- ries So much for the Community Chests methods and aims.
 Institutions Supported
 And now word for the kind of in. stitutions it supports. It supports, en- tirely, or lends support to 35 charities, as already mentioned. These B have been divided into eight groups accord. ing to the type of work done. First there are those which care for the aged then in order, those which care for the blind, for children, which build. charac. ter and furnish recreation to the un- derprivileged, which give family relief, care for the tubercular, which insure the humane treatment of children and animals, and for a miscellaneous group of efforts including the transporting of Confederate veterans to reunions, pro. visions for an appropriate armistice, day celebration, and maintenance of the confidential exchange.
 It may be matter of interest to note the percentage quotas apportioned to 7the types of organizations by the total budget (drawn up preliminary to fixing the amount to be asked for during the annual drive). The two old peoples homes receive 2.7 per cent of the budg. ct; the two associa ations for the blind 3.1 per cent; 12 organizations caring for children's welfare, 30 per cent; eight character building and recreational in. stitutions, 28.4 per cent family relief societies, 25.6 per cent; the anti tuber. culosis society, 6.7 per cent; the hu. mane work and miscellany, 3.5 per cent These figures. serve to show the wide distribution of funds and efforts to care for Birmingham.s underprivileged peo. pie.

As Struggle With Smith

By GEORGE r. HOLMES,

NEW YORK, June 2S.-To the
accompaniment of blaring bands
and sounds Of conflict in every
quarter, the main body Of dele
gates to the Democratic national
convention poured into New York
today to find battle lines faulty
drawn, an atmosphere surcharged
with tension and political dyna-
mite, and axes being Industrious
ly sharpened by the managers Of
a dozen rival candidates..
They found William G. McAdoo
the pivotal point Of most Of the
strife and fighting grimly to hold
the acknowledged lead he now
has in the matter Of delegates;
they found the forces Of Gov
ernor Al Smith aggressively con-
fident and pursuing delegates
with a businesslike efficiency that
BODIED i'll for rival aspirants, and
behind these two leaders they
found the steadily growing senti-
ment that In the end neither Nc

Of their fight.

All except RaIston are on the
ground here and their manarers
are working like Trojans against
the time when the much-feared

McAdoo and Smith.
Rumors and reports Of ''brealSs''
in the McAdoo and Smith camps
already have begun to float about
the hectic Hobbies where the dele.
gates mill anxiously and ask for
news.
Smiths managers were smilinely
inquiring whether 1t was true that

Michigan, McAdoo was losing
strength and faced with a hard bat.

There were even reports that in

his managers, internal disscntion
has risen to such a degreA that both
delegations may split into many
individual units and dissipate their
strength among half a dozen candi.
dates.
Heated denial met these reports
on the part Of the McAdoo con-
tingent.
McAdoo's managers characterized
such rumors as "defeatist propa.
ganda," disseminated by the Smith
camp, and promptly countered with
claims that when Smith has run
