.RAMSAY'S PLAN
TO Be STUDIED
CONTINUED From Page Onel

of the Ensley club and said he hopeu
the conference would be success.
Thursday afternoon, the Birmingham
real estate board adopted resolution
which urges all citizens to cooperate
in effecting a plan which will increase
the beauty of the city and which VIII
provide for the grouping of buildings
in such a way around the park as to
make it a monument to the foresight
of the citizens of this community.
Previous to the adoption OF TINS reso.
luton, Mr.. Van Hose asserted that IL
the library building were erected In the
park, it would vitiate the endowment
agreement between the city of Blrmlng-
ham and the ElytOn Land company, VINO
gave the park to the city. This agree
ment provides that the land is only 10
be used for park purposes or as site
for the state capitol.
Explains Legal Barrier
"Permission to build in Capitol park
could never be given to- anyone, regard
less of purpose said Mr.. Van HOose.
"as the Elyton Land company is out OF
existence, and the only could change
the terms of the endowment agreement,
which the city of Birmingham accepted.
The legal points of the library build
ing tangle and the civic center question
have not been considered, according to
Mr.. Van Hose, who gave history OF
the donation of the park and previous
attempts to build temporary building
in the desired space.
Permission to build in the park
would not be granted in any court of
Alabama" said Mr.. Van Hoose, and
any tax payer of jefferson county can
Co. inlo n forms
of the endowment agreement of the
ElytOn Land company and have the
building removed"
'To educate children never to violate
sacred trust in a building which was
itself an iniquitiOus monument to n
broken trust would be unfair to children
which is much more than the aspect
that it shows to mature people whose
ideas of an ethical civic center were
utterly destroyed by a building placed
in a7park site.
IF requests to the city of Birming.
ham are going to receive that type OF
treatment, when the terms itself are
against it, you can believe that future
gifts will be smaller, if not totally dis
appear.
II warn you not to put a building in
that space"
w. v. NJ. Robertson, Jr., presented
the civic center plan recently con
ceived by Erskine Ramsay, following
which presentation Mr.. Ramsay gave d
short address to the board.
The legal committee and the public
affairs committee were appointed to
meet with other civil club committees
on deciding on Mr.. Ramsay's civic cen.
ter idea and were given full and final
power to act at that time for the Biz
mingham real estate board.

was officially announced that the flake
dragging had been called off.
DIR. Payne explained that tie negro's
head was turned over to him by DR..
Lambert, head of the dissecting branch
Of the state university. He told how he
had sawed off the jaw and inflicted
the. fracture" on the left side of the
skull with his little chisel.
Both the sheriff's office and the po-
lice identified the skull as that OF
White, who was killed while trying ia
escape from Officers Reed. Hames and
Williamson last April. White had a
long police record, officers declared. His
body was turned over to the university
authorities for study, and when the stu
dents had finished their work with the
head, it was given to DIR. Payne.
The FAX. that was used in "choppins
the head from the body, was in reality
chisel in the hands of a young stu.
dent at Tuscaloosa, DIR. Payne said.
The solving of the mystery by DIR.
Payne served to confirm an inyestiga-
ton made by The Age-Herald reporters

messenger boy.
Attorney General Daugherty had
his alibi. And his abb was that his
right hand, Jess Smith, did not know
what his left hand, Castor b. Means,
was doing. And then, that Means had
repudiated, and after he had repudiated.
he had repudiated his reputation; and
diation of the Reputation of the repu-
diation.
There is not much of an alibi about
the sorry story of the veteran bureau.

ment of ALL"
The Free From The Slave
| After praising the record of the Dem
ocratic party, Mr.. Davis concluded (:
I'VE want to see preserved in this coun-
try those immemorial rights that are
summed up in the two magic words
Personal Liberty freedom of speech,
freedom of conscience and religious faith
and practice, the right of assembly, the
right of trial by jury, freedom of the
press, freedom against unlawful search
and seizure-all that long calendar of
things that distinguishes the free man
from the slave.
80 long as the Democratic party
stands fast by the principles that gave
it birth, so long as it stands ready to
take up the challenge whenever it is
thrown down, these rights and these
principles will never in these United
States lack for a defender"

ton would do everything we consist
emily can" to relieve the situation.

formed that the cten vessels referred
for western grain, loadings and that no
vessels were available for October 1
loadings at New Orleans and very
little if any for November and Deem
Der loadings."
you mention forty Sailings from
gulf ports, buff forty sailings take
care of only a part of the business,
then we should have forty Others" Mr..
McKellar's Telegram said.
Mr.. Mcclellan stated that previously
he had sent kilograms to President Cool
idge. T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the
shipping board, Frederick 1. Thompson
member of the shipping board, and

The Wishbone and Backbone
tBy DR.. Frank Crane)

$50 many of us" says Percy john
sion. president of the Chemical Nation
nj Bank of New York, get the WISH
bone where the backbone ought to he.
There are two elements to success
One is to want something hard enough.
Many are deficient here. They have
no dominant desire, no driving aIhbi-
ton. no healthy dissatisfaction, The
other element, however, is more often
lacking. 1t is TO have sense enough to
pay the price for what we want In
other words to do the things necessary
in order to obtain what We want.
There are, for instance, thousands
of young people in the great cities
who wish to be artists or musicians OF
writer's, but probably only a few OF
them are doing every day the hard
work necessary to obtain their desire
Everybody wants to be loved, for to
have someone love you is a very com
Portable and fattering feeling. But
how few there are that day by day in

thing that requires backbone as well
as wishboue it is love.
The country is full of soured, disap-
pointed and cynical people who think
the world is against them and the fates
opposed to them, because they want
something or other with all their heart
and have very prominent wishbone

not feel disposed to do the daily un-
remitting digging which intelligence
shows is needed.
Ne all need inspiration, ambition
and ideals. but it will do no good for
these favoring winds to blow unless
we get TO work and put up our sails.
Somebody called genius the capacity
for infinite toll. And that is perhaps
the best test of genius. If you want to
be n violinist to the extent that you
are willing TO practice day after day
the most grilling exercises, that is
one good proof that you have real
ability. If you want to such an ex-
tent to get on in your business that
you apply yourself mremittingly TO
1t, study about il and never neglect it,
that is one indication that your back
bone is strong enough to balance your

tween tendency and talent" The
