They started out together to receive one of my walking, talking doiis' They lost very little time in securing their fifteen new subscribers and they both won a doll on the same day: They were happy pair when they, came to the circulat ation department and picked out their dollies together. Puline says to Rosa, Il think every; little glrl in Birmingham ought to. have one or these beautiful dollie Just. to think how they sing, talk and say their, pray CTS and it didn't take us any time to get our fifteen subscribers, who agreed to take the paper six months and pay the carrier each week 20 cents per week or S5 cents per month"

 'She is the most beautiful doliie in the world" Rosa said, land has the most beautiful voice and the prettiest clothes, and she is not dollie that can not be played with. l am not afraid to take her with me for fear she will be broken for I know she won't break"

while in other instances there would be difference of seventy-five cents. If the checks were issued for an amount exceeding court costs, and a refund was made by MT. Brown, to the person pay ing such costs, then the records of the court fail to disclose the fact.
 No statement was made by MT. Browns friends in connection with this charge, except that Fred Fite, who has been acting as MT. Browns legal advisor in the matter, said: .+s=.et
 "The charges do not embody any charges involving moral turpitude and there is no assertion or question but that MT. Brown has always been will ing to pay any moneys due the county, and has done so" @, @ sss-
 After the second report was presented to Judge c. B. Smith, presiding Sudge of the Tenth judicial district, the copy of the report was filed in the office of Woolsey Morrow, clerk of the civil di- vision of the circuit court. And ap attempt to secure the views of county officials, on any future action concern ing the report proved futile Saturday. Members of the board of revenue were out of the city and Solicitor Jim Davis stated he had no official knowledge of the report. In the meantime, Mir. Brown is continuing as clerk of Judge Lea's court ,and by his actions suggests that with the two payments to the county treasure, the matter is ended.

 |GLADDENS CHURCH
Great Day Planned At Highlands Methodist
 Today

When the news was received from Talladega early this week that Bishop Warren Candler had sent Dr. ". R. Hendrix, pastor of the Highlands Methodist church back to his congre- gation for the fifth consecutive year, there was great rejoicing, 1t IS said, among the large membership.

 The balance in the American Trust and Savings bank, as shown by sworn affidavit of A. J. Daily, assistant cash fer, which was transfer to the First National bank of Birmingham, as shown included in his deposit of June 2, as stated by MT. Br" wn, is sub- stantially correct.
 "Inasmuch as the loan of $1,SO0 obtained from the Alabama Home Building and Loan association, and the personal loan of $200 obtained from Edwin A. Robertson on June 2, 1924, and deposited to MT. Browns account in the First National bank of Bir- mingham, as clerk, and the fact that each of the two loans was repaid on June 4, 1924 Gas shown by the sworn statement of Edwin A. Robertson), it would appear that MT. Brown borrowed this sum for the, purpose of increasing his bank balance, and bank statement furnished us, showing his bank balance "as clerk" at the close of business June ?, 1924, with the intent of mis- leading your examiners.
 "The contention of your examiners on the above statement is based on the fact that MT. Brown as clerk did not comply with our request by furnishing us with a statement of his bank balance as at the close of business on May 3l, 1924, but did furnish us with state ment of his bank balance as at the close of business on June 7, 1924, which statement included a deposit ot $2,- 123.03 on June 2, 1924, and the fact that $2,000 of this deposit was loan secured by Mir. Brown, as shown by .cI Nl QnIN and statement of MT. Brown to the ef- feet that said amount was trans fer to this account. .LisO for the fact that the loan of S1.S00 was repaid to the Alabama Home Building and Loan association, and the personal loan of $2O0 was repaiu to Edwin A. Robert son. only two days subsequent to date he borrowed the money and deposited | to his account as "clerk." A
 The report then continues to quote the law in which any official uses pub lie monies in manner not prescribed by law is guilty of embezzlement and "on conviction, shall be punished as | if he had stolen the same"
 The report then continues
 Municipal court of Birmingham, Third Division. and of calling his at lention to violating the law by making investments with public funds, we find that he has continued to have strict disregard for any law in connection with making this investment with pub lin funds, and has continued having this investment with the Alabama Homo Building and Loan association until such time when your examiners were preparing data for writing this supple mental report, when on October 6, 1924, he deposited to bis account as clerk, in the American Trust and Saving Oenl;, the amount of his investment as stated above"
 In the final paragraph of the second report the examiner states, i've can out feel that the length of time he will keep this money in the bank. in stead of making another investment with public funds" would merely be matter of speculation"

report, according to the supplemental report, MT. Brown paid into the county treasury $1,30271 on June N, 1924 and S3,326.S0 on Oct. 20, 1924:
 The second report shows that there is still due the county the sum of $11,- 520.25 for failure to issue executions. This technical shortage, however, was explained by frienus of MT Brown as being due to shortage of; assistants in the court and also to the crowded conditions of the court docket. H
 A large part of the cases brought be- fore Judge Lea, it was explained, are uncontested suits for small sums of money. in which the plaintiff is award ed a judgment by default. Very often the defendant is resident of another state or is outside of Alabama, and in such cases it is common for the plain tiff's attorney to ask Mir. Brown to withhold issuance of the execution, and allow the attorney to attempt to col lect the judgment. o
 Because the law allows Mir. Brown but one assistant and because the mum Der of cases on the court docket range from 40 to 75 day, the routine of

NEEDS . OF FOXYGEN
 AT ARC0 PLANT.
New Works Completed
 Operations Under Way Here Now

! t .7F .f
 The new Aifco oxsgen plant of the Air Reduction Sales company has been completed here, according to announce ment by B. F.. Lindgren, district mana ger. Operation has already commenced and hundreds of thousands of cubic feet of high purity oxygen are being pro- duced weekly to meet the industrial needs of Birmingham and the surround ing territory. e l.s sg.i Establishment of this new plant in Birmingham not only emphasizes the diversified scope of the city's industries but also is significant in the devolpment of liquid air methods. It has only been since, the beginning of the / twentieth century that manufacturers have been able to produce oxygen with high de- gree of purity and maintain this purity in continuous commercial production., The Air Reduction Sales company is able to furnish commercial oxygen that is declared to be 99.5 per cent pure. {.
 Principal use of oxygen in industry is for oxyacetylene welding and cutting. The oxygen is mixed with acetylene in a torch and this mixture, when ignited and properly adjusted, produces 3 flame of approximately 6,300 degrees. The welding torch is widely used in the production of automobiles, steel furni- ture, kitchen utensils and number sof other manufactured articles. It is like wise employed to a great extent by rail roads, iron and steel mills, foundries garages, and for reclamation and repaiy. work.
 Counting the Birmingham plant, Ais Reduction now owns and operates % oxygen plants. In addition it has IF acetylene plants, one of which wal recently established in Birmingham. The company. also controls the manufacture and sale of national carbide from which acetylene is produced. e d., ..sr.

 This shortage is purely technical Tn character and is not mentioned in the supplemental report of Examiners Mai, comb and Avery, except in the recapitu-,, iation.
