BOY SCOUT TRAIL
The American Creed
By w. B. Morgan
Why ! Am An American

I believe in the United States of
America as a government of the
people, by the people, and for the
people; whose powers are derived
from the consent of the government.
A democracy in a republic; sover-
eign nation of many sovereign states
a perfect union one and inseparable.
Established upon those principles of
freedom and equality, justice and
humanity for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to
my country to love it, to support its
to obey its laws, to re-
spect its government, and to defend
it among all enemies.

Mothers Day

Every Boy Scout should remember
that next Sunday is Mothers Day.
Every Scout should recognize her
worth and pay special tribute to her
on that day. The customary manner
is to wear a colored carnation il the
mother is living, and pure white
carnation if the mother is dead.
The mother is the best friend any
Boy Scout has. In a peculiar way she
molds the character Of her children
and shapes their destiny. She suffers
with them and for them. Hers is
the watchful eye, hers the sympathetic
touch. She understands az your
wants as no other soul can under
stand them. She is the "True Scout
Master" and the best "Scout" in all
the world. Pay tribute : to her,
Scouts, give her the homage, due her.

HEALTH SURVEY IS
 NOW BEING. MADE
Federal Officials To Be In Bir-
 mingham Several Weeks . 7,

Rapid progress is being made in the health survey of Birmingham as the first city in a nationwide study by the American Public Health association. The work will probably be completed March 15.
 This announcement was made Thurs day by Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer, who is assisting Dr. H. D. Griffitths of the United States Public Health service with the survey.
 The data collected will be stored with that of other cities in Baltimore, where it will be available for study by munich pal governments and health associa tions. The finishing touches on the survey here will be made by Dr. w. $. Rankin, field director of the American associa- tion, who will reach s Birmingham March 13.
 While here, Dr. Rankin will address the Civan club luncheon at 1 o'clock Friday, March IA, at the .Tutwiler. The morning of the same day he will speak before the student body of Phillips High school at II o'clock. ,..
 The work of compiling the data of the survey has been more difficult be- cause the local, health department has not been able to have it's health ordin- ances arranged for easy inspection.
 Dr. Bowling hopes to be given funds this year for rewriting and compiling all existing health ordinance in an up to date pamphlet such as the traffic code. Over 75 ordinances which have been adopted since 1915 are only available in newspaper clippings and scrap books, while those existing prior to that time are obsolete and need revision.

MARKET TO STAY,
 HARRISON SAYS
Proposition To Use It For Library Is Coldly Re
 ceiyed By City

r Abandonment of the new $2OO, 900 city market as money losing propo- sftiorf will not be considered till it has been given every chance for success. This, was the personal opinion of Commissioner William H. Harrison, Thursday, on the proposal to convert the market building into library quar- tefs instead of voting bonds for a new library. - ssf. 3,sssss ,, z
 Harrison said he believed he was speaking for the entire commission, although such a plan had never been discussed by that board.
 He believes the market can be made a success and that the commission will give it a long trial before it conceedes itSa failure and uses it for another purpose. sS ;G
 The suggestion to convert the market |into a library was made by Leo K. Steiner, banker, to the sub-finance com mittee Investigating for bond issues, hut no action was taken on the matter. His plan was to add another story and remodel the interior, which he pointed Tout, would be much cheaper than buying | site and erecting library.
 The market has been steadily losing money and in an effort to help out the merchants until business improves, Harrison reduced rentals 50 per cent for Q lthree-month period. He said business is improving and that every effort will be made to bring it to a point where it should be.

 Birth Can Qualify

Ex-service men Of foreign birth, who have not been naturalized as American citizens, can qualify as such by making application in the federal court not later than March 3, 1924, when Examiner H. B. Reed of the United States bureau will visit Birmingham for the purpose of receiving and passing on applications for citizenship.

COMMUNITY, CLUB < TOLD ABOUT COUE
Members Also Requested To
 Back Junior League

An explanation of the Coue system it's principals and results, was given by Miss Catherine Barton. secretary of the Nancy druggist, at the Community clubs regular weekly luncheon at the Tutwiler hotel Thursday noon. Miss Barton spoke in the absence of Mir. Coue, who was unable to attend.
 "Coue is not miracle man," she said. 'He has never pretended to be and does not accomplish results by super human charms. His entire doctrine is based on the theory that most ill., ness is matter of the sub-conscious mind and may be done away with by the mastery of oneself"
 No one has laughed more about the words Everyday in every way than Mir. Coue himself, the speaker said, in remarking that the term had come to sound almost like platitude. But those who have had any experi- ence with it admit that it brings re- sults."
 As an added attraction to the pro. gram Miss Margaret Price and Miss Isabel Stone entertained with sample number from the Junior League Follies which is to be staged at the Jefferson theatre Friday and Saturday nights. Mrs. Leon Bradley then, asked the support of the organization in making the production a success.
 A program committee appointed by w. w. Wilkerson, president of the club, consists of: Sumner Thomas, chairman Wirt Sowell, John Haskel, and John Badham.

Stephenson Company Opens Art Exhibit For General
 Inspection s.

Throngs of visitors-architects,. con tractors, builders and prospective home owners-have inspected the new dis play rooms of l.. l.. Stephenson at 2025 Fourth avenue, north, during the past week. The brick exhibit is attracting widespread attention in building cir cles because of it's novel and artistic character. Antique furniture and oriental rugs to harmonize in color and design with the soft tints of the brick walls, have been installed to complete the appointments.
 Attention has been called by the dec orating house, which placed the fittings in position, to the marked similarity in color tone between the patterns in the odiental rugs-Kasoc and Bloostan- and the panelled brick work. The va ried hhes, which run the color scale from a soft smoke-gray, through multi colored tints of deep red, mauve, violet and golden browns, are burned into the brick, according to Mir. Stephenson. the tints being imparted by the natural colors of the clay used in their manu- fracture. This clay is said to be peculiar to the section around Lovick, Ala, where one of the largest of the Stephen Soii DIAch COmpduy tHTcc TddutS IS io- cated. This plant manufactures the famous Oriental brick, which is being used in large hotels, apartment houses and homes in all parts of the south.
 The new display rooms will show samples of all brick manufactured by the Stephenson company. These in- clude the Hardard brick, smooth, sandy face of reddish caste, and soft color notes; the Chiltex brick. made at Childersburg and characterized by its rough texture and softly blended col ors; and the shale and clay common brick, extensively employed in ordinary building operations requiring no dis tinctive touch.
 Manufacture of brick was begun by the Stephenson company in 1910 at IIovick with an annual output of 25.- 900. Demand for the product, which is
