MRS. W. J. ADAMS ELECTED HEAD
 OF VOTE LEAGUE
1924 President Is Named First Vice Pres
 ident

Mrs. W. J. Adams of Idlewild Thursday was elected president of the Jefferson County League of Women Voters for the 1925 term, at the regu- lar weekly meeting and luncheon of the league at the Hillman hotel.
 Other officers elected were Mrs. J.. M, Hankins, first vice president; Mrs. E. J. Brown, second vice president, and Mrs. Richard F. Johnston, third vice president. Miss Josephine Harris was chosen secretary and Mrs. w. D. Col by. treasurer. Miss Madeline Jacobs was elected publicity secretary. Mrs. Hankins is president for 1924.
 The new officers will not enter on their duties until January l, according to provisions of the newly adopted by laws.
 As an added feature of the meeting, and for the purpose of flying members a clearer insight into the political situa- tion as regards the presidential cam paign, three speeches, each by a fol- lower of the three candidates for presl- dent, were delivered.
 The democratic cause, presented from a typical southerners standpoint and embodying all those principles for which democracy in the south has long been note, was delivered by Borden Burr.
 There never was a time, according to MT. Burr, when the cause of democ- racy needed rallying to more than it does in the forthcoming election. He urged that all true democrats heed the call and elect Davis as the champion of a cause worthy of the man who seeks the high office.
 The republican side of the question was vigorously defended by Judge M. B. Sloane of Oneonta, who stuck close to the Coolidge cause as sure of vic tory and defended the chief executive of the United States against several attacks which he led his hearers to believe were caused more through ig- norance of the real man than through any other reason.
 Senator La Toilette, the progressive candidate, was declared by Phil Painter to be gaining appreciable head way in practically every section of the country and that many parts of the south were known to be leaning toward the support of the picturesque inde- pendent.
 Birmingham" song composed by Mrs. c. B. Jaynes, of the league, was adopted as the official song of the club.

DIVORCE HEALTH
 FROM POLITICS,
 IS WHITES PLEA
Cites Milk War In Talk Before Cosmopolitan
 Club

The board of health should be com pletely divorced from politics and made absolutely independent of the city com mission, William l.. White, well-known young business man, declared in viz orous address before the Cosmopolitan club at its weekly luncheon in the Hillman hotel Thursday afternoon.
 Mir. White said the recent war be- tween the health authorities and 2S raw milk dairymen had clearly shown the need for the removal of the health board from the commissions influence.
 We are now witnessing the spec tacle." he continued, "of 2S dairymen asking the commission to change regu- lations which the constituted health authorities refused to change on the ground that the public health would be menaced. I contend that the board of health should not have it's hands tied in any way, and that it should not be forced to accept such legislation as the city commission cares to enact. The board should be absolutely inde- pendent, in order that it's splendid work along health lines might not be retarded"
 Mir. White also discussed conserva- tion problems, water power questions and educational matters. His emphatic stand on the milk question was re- garded as highly significant, in view of repeated reports current in politi cal circles that he is to be candi- date for the next city commission.

PROMISE MADE
 OF CHEAP COAL
 IN BIRMINGHAM

"HERE will be no advance in
 coal prices in the Birmingham
 district during the coming win ter, according to an understanding reached here Thursday. The agree ment followed the amicable adjust ment of the traffic proposals which were threshed out by transportation men from all local lines. The traf- fife adjustment will result in the protection of this district from q car shortage or equipment delays during the winter.
 The prices of coal at this time will be continued through the cold weather without advances such as characterized the market last year. It was stated that the domestic market would remain unchanged. However, it was also explained that some coal companies have been sell ing their products at prices slightly below cost during the dull period and these may undergo readjustment. Walter Moore, president of the Pratt Fuel corporation, whose company now has an output averaging nearly 100000 tons per year said the settlement of the car situation would serve to stabilize prices in this dis trict.
