CLEANUP WEEK
 SHOWS RESULTS
City Garbage Department Unable To Handle In
 creased Loads

Reports made to the cleanup and paint-up campaign committee show that the people of Birmingham have re sponded heartily to the pleas for clean ing up their premises during the present week. The city garbage department, which has charge of the removal of the refuse, reports that practically double the usual number of loads have been hauled daily, and still the equipment, augmented by four trucks and one wagon furnished by the county board of revenue, has been unable to meet the demands.
 Supt. J. ". Hughes of the city gar bage department stated Thursday that 1t would require another week at least, even with the additional trucks work ing, to move the excess refuse collected at the thousands of homes in the city. The department will work under high pressure the balance of this week and through next week in order to com piete the job begun by the housewives and the business firms, it was stated at the office of the garbage depart ment.
 The distrietsschairmen, appointed by the AXIS club, to look after the various sections of the city, report to Mrs. DuPont Thompson, chairman of the general committee. that they have made a survey of their respective districts and find the people generally have zone about the work of cleaning up their premises systematically, and that a thorough .iob-s is promised before the campaign is. ended. As a result of this work many stagnant pools and piles of fly, breeding refuse have been elimi.

MONTGOMERY. Ala, May ..-Eig- ures showing that the mad dog problem in Alabama is one of increasing serious ness were furnished today from the state health department. According to the figures. 519 treatments for rabies were furnished from the stale laboratory in 1922; 5S6 in 1923, ard for 1924, to May 5, 305 treatments.
 A drive against rabies was launched in Montgomery today, when Dr. S. w. welch, state health officer. and Bob Troy. popular certified public account ant of this city, appeared before the Rotary club and delivered addresses on the mad dog menace. Mn Troy was bit ten some, time ago by \ mad dog, and his painful experiences inspired him to launch a drive to save others from a similar fate. He told of the pain suffer ed in taking the anti-rabies treatment and of the awful expectancy created by the possibility of waking up some morn ing to find that he was showing symP- toms of rabies.
 He metioned that the anti-rabies SC rum is not always effective, quoting figures to show that of the total number of deaths in the United States from rabies in 1921. 23.2 per cent were per sons who had taken the anti-rabies treatment.
 Dr. Welch mentioned rabies and ma laria, typhoid and hookworm as consti- tuting four outstanding problems tend ing to discourage immigration to Ala bama. He advocated vaccination or muzzlng of dogs as saapreyeptive.

Association of Insurance Agents, today criticized Cor. w. W. Brandon for his efforts in behalf of the enactment of the state insurance fund bill. The criti- cism was made in the annual address of President Porter at the opening of the convention of insurange agents.
 Reference to the activities of the governor and the passage of the in- surance fund bill were made in a dis cussiOn of the act of the legislature which touched on insurance.
 1.-The one and only undesirable piece of legislation we were unable to de feat was the bill that placed the state in the insurance business, insofar as state-Owned property is concerned" said NIT. Porter.
 '-I think am correct in stating that for the first time in it's history the Alabama association in 1922 specifically indOrsed a candidate for a public of flee refer to the resolution pledg- ing William W. Brandon our support in his race for the gOvernOrship. From many sources we were assured that Mir, Brandon was a friend of the insurance agent. In fact, I think he admitted it himself; certainly we believed it when we not only indOrsed him but even went so far as to make him an honorary member of our association. It was therefore a tremendous surprise to the officers of the association and to the legislative committee to find Governor Brandon supporting with all of the power at his command the state fund bill that was enacted after we had, as we thought, accomplished its defeat.
 'sOur disappointment did not end with the passage of the iniquititiOus measure, for according to what we believe is re- liable. information and which, though published. has not been denied, instead of the state carrying its own insurance as provided for in the act an agreement has been perfected whereby a very large proportion of each risk of insurance is reinsured in mutual or group of mu- tual cOmpanies"

TRUSTEES PROTEST
Condemn New Staas Plan Of Mutual Insurkhce


 TUSCALOOSA Ala, May. B. Pointing out tliat the trustees of state institutions have no author ity to insure other institutions under a plan of mutual insurance, as they de. clare would be the Case if the state adopts a mutual insufance plan for it's property, the board of trustees of the Alabama Insane hospitals has passed resolution disapprofipg the plan. The resolution also poinfs out that such a plan has been tried in a number of states and has proveh failure.
 Mutual insurance, kae resolutions de clare, means that all the institutions included in such a plan will have to contribute to the amount of the loss of any institution on property insured And there is no provision in the state law or elsewhere, which would per init the trustees of one of the state i'm stitutions entering any such contract
 The last session of the state legisla- |ture set aside state insurance fund of $1O0,OO0 and gave. the state authority to carry the insurance on its property instead of putting it in the hands of in- surance companiessand the entire plan is opposed by the trustees of the insane hospital.

Mr.. Lee does not care to recog-

He had a team selected yesterday

declared the coach. But then he ran
them against four more lads, and
they took a pretty little drubbing.
