Parent Teacher Association Hold
Interesting Meeting.
Parent

The Parent Teacher Association
meeting held in the high school build
ing Monday evening was well attended
and the topic, How to Make Our
Town Better Place in Which to Live
was ably discussed in number of
talks and papers. If the suggestion
placed before the Association in these
talks and papers were acted upon by
our people Dolores would be made
more beautiful town and also a more
desirable place to live in. There was
nothing suggested that could not easily
be done, so why not act upon the sug-
pestion? Here they are in nut shell:
Support your churches and schools i'll
every way you can, uphold your public
officials by obeying the law yourself.
If the law is a good thing for the other
fellow to obey it is good thing for
YOU to obey. Do not make sighting
and testing remarks regarding the law.
Take pride in your home. and keep
YOUR buildings painted and your pre-
misses clean, also plant flowers, and
when you get through planting flowers
plant some more flowers. Do not stop
with the house. lawn and garden. but
extend your cleaning activities to the
street in front and the alley back of
YOUR premises. DO not throw banana
peels, paper, cigar and cigarette stumps
or any other kind of rubbage on the
streets, vacant lots or parks. 1t was
suggested that garbage cans should be
placed on the streets. and that the
swamps should be drained.
After the program all retired to the
basement where cake and ice cream
were served, and little groups gathered
and further discussed ways and means
of bettering the town. Remember
that if you own property in Dolores
everything thatis done to make Dolores
better town enhances the value of
that property. While you are working
for Dolores you are working for your
! self.

GIBSON SAYS FIGHT
 IS NOW WIDE OPEN
Musgrove Supporter Replies To
 Dinsmore's Recent Circular

Commenting on circulars which M. A. Dinsmore has announced he is distribut- ing, Horace P. Gibson, representing l.. B. Musgrove at headquarters in Bir- mingham, said: Underwood supporters arc resorting to unfair tactics and the campaign will be wide open from now on.
 Some of the statements in that cir cular in connection with that picture and the circumstances are absolutely false, as I know from my own knowl- edge. In the first place 1t is stated that MT. Musgrove was the only white man there or in the picture. Let me tell you that there were more than q hundred of the best white people of Birmingham and Jefferson county there on that occasion. I was there and my wife was there with me and I am not ashamed of 1t. Some of those old me- groes had been owned by my grand father and I knew them we'll and was proud of what they were trying to do for themselves.
 Another misstatement is that Mus grove built that school. If he had he would have no apologies to offer. But he did not. 1t was built by the col ored people themselves with money loaned them by President Finley of the Pittsburg corporation, which at that time owned those mines. Mir. Mus grove at that time was general manager of the mines for the Pittsburg people who owned them, and I was working there as general superintendent in charge of operation"

EDWARD LATTIMER
 ; CALLED BY DEATH
Dies Within Week Of His ~ Brother Charles Passing

Tn a similar manner, in the same house and within five days of the time, Edward S. Lattimer, Tuscaloosa mer- chant, followed his brother, Charles Lattimer, to the grave.
 E.. l.. Lattimer came to Birmingham to attend the funeral of Charles, who died February 15, and stayed after the funeral to help straighten up his af- fairs. He was stricken suddenly ill at II :30 o'clock Wednesday night at his brothers home on Hanover circle, and died a few minutes later.
 Friday a week ago, Charles Lattimer was stricken with apoplexy and died. At the time of Charles LattimerS death his wife was very ill at the home. At present Mrs. E. S. Lattimer is in what ts considered critical condition.
 Both Lattimers had previously been in business in Greensboro, and later Charles moved to Birmingham and Ed ward $. to Tuscaloosa. Both were sue cessful business men and stood high in their respective communities.
 E. $. Lattimer is survived by his widow and two daughters, Mrs. Edwina Mutt and Miss Eugenia Lattimer of Tuscaloosa. The remains were sent to Tuscaloosa Thursday afternoon by Johns for interment. Funeral services will be held at o'clock Friday after noon from the residence in Tuscaloosa

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step In Treatment Is Calo. tabs, the Purified and Re. fined Calomel Tablets That Are Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have. found by experience that no medicine for colds. coughs. sore throat and influenza can be de- pended upon for full effectiveness until tho liver k made thoroughly ac. tive. That is why the first step m the treatment Is the nausealsss calomel tablets called Calotsbs. which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go . long way towards preventing influ- enxa and colds and ia one of tho most important factors in enabling the pa- tient to successfully withstand an at. tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One or two CAlotabs at bed time, with . swallow of water--that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eating, pleas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Genuine Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents for the large, family-paekage: ten cents for the small. vest-pocket size.-Adv.

RELEASE HARRIS
 ON $l,OOO BOND
Attack On Use N6 Scopolamine Deferred Until Trial
 Is HeGd

By agreement between Solicitor Jim Ddvis and Judge Hsaace Wilkinson, attorney for Ernest Harris, charged with the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Romeo and Mrs. JulitV Vigilant, the negro was permitted tos go free on a bond of $5,000 for eacA of the two charges against him, pen\ ling the out come of his trial. The Aond had not been arranged late Thursday afternoon, and Harris was still conf ned in the county jail.
 Habeus Corpus
 A hearing to obtain his Arelease on habeus corpus was set for eai fly Thurs day morning, but was pose poned by Judge John Denson until Thursday afternoon. Before it was caA led, how ever, the negros release on ond was agreed to by Solicitor DaviA.
 In announcing, Wednesday,, that habeus corpus proceedings had been in- stituted to obtain his clinet's release, Judge Wilkinson said he expd dcted to attack the use of scopolamine, ar truth serum, as a means of obtaining con- fessions and stated that the st%te had not evidence against the defendant ex- cept a confession alleged to have been obtained while he was under tue in fluence of the drug.
 Attack Withheld /t
 Az the hearing on his release swas not held, no opportunity was offered to attack use of the serum; and the test of its validity as a means of Idb- taining evidence against a prisohEE probably will not come until one Sol the alleged axe murders is brought up for trial in the criminal division of circuit court. Harris trial has not yet been set on the court docket, but Pearl and Odell Jackson and Peyton Johnson, also accused of axe attacks, will be tried next Monday before Judge William B. Fort.
 Harris is said to be the first person in several years to be released on bond following indictment by the grand jury on a charge of first degree murder

THOUSANDS VISIT
 FOOD EXPOSITION
Association Already Planning
 For Greater Scope Next Year

A second food show for Birmingham, larger and even more elaborate than that now being put on by the Birmins. haL. Retail Grocers and Butchers asso- citation, is assured for 1925, the com mittee announced late Thursday, after more than 10000 persons had seen the first.
 The Attendance Thursday was 6,003.
 The food exposition will,be a perma. nent institution in Birmingham, as it is in every large city, and will be staged probably in the new auditorium. B c. Apperson, chairman of the commit. tee, declared.
 Interest in the carnival of appetiz. ing exhibits arranged by nearly a half hundred local firms in the Armory at Second avenue and Eighteenth street continued unabated Thursday with at. tendance records that insured the per nancy and appeal of the show.
 Tho Attendance
 From ' o'clock Wednesday night, the opening hour of the exposition, until 80 o'clock, 3,oS2 housewives and other visitors saw the show. Au. proximately 1900 saw it Wednesday ? afternoon, and slightly in excess of B.. GOO saw it Thursday night.
 Exhibitors who had arranged some of the most attractive booths devised for food shows were accorded unusual praise during the day: they expressed the opinion that the exposition would do a great deal toward acquainting the city with their products.
 Demonstrations of culinary and man. ufacturing processes drew huge throngs at each opening. Large quantities of sample foods and drinks were given away, and the exposition ball room and orchestra drew numbers of couples. The exposition will continue until March 1.

Is one of the largest caches of loot ever collected in Birmingham located within a stone's throw of the center Of the downtown district?
