DEMOCRATS WAGE
GREAT BATTLES
Keynote Speech Appealing For
Party Unity Is Cheered
to the Echo.

New York-Forgetful for the mo
ment of it's bitter rivalries over can
didates and policies, the Democratic
national convention began it's sessions
in Madison Square garden with q
militant demonstration of party
enthusiasm
Meeting only to go through the
formalities of effecting a preliminary
organization, the delegates INDUCED
in a Commute old-time Democratic
demonstration in honor of Woodrow
Wilson and cheered to the echo q
keynote speech in which Senator Pat
Harrison pleaded for party harmony
and a reconstruction to the fundamen
tai principles Of Democracy.
Thirteen thousand party warehouses;
delegates and spectators packed Ma
olson Square Garden to see the cur
tain rise on the first act Of the great
DRAMA stupendous production with
an all star cast, many supernumeraries
and an indefinite number of scenes.
Many bitter encounters took place
in committee during the selection OF
the platform and resolutions.

for the championship Of West Vir-
ginia was pulled off between Mike
Kearney and Freddie Dunlop. Then
there was a curtain raiser. Yes, it
was a good bill, and she signed them
up herself.
When the evening Of the fray ar
rived, Miss Mary, as they called her,
routed out score of her yeowomen
compatriots and put them in white duck
uniforms for ushers. To see that no
gate-crashers got by, Miss Mary took
the tickets herself.
The card was eminently satisfac-
tory, and the thousands who attended
went home completely at peace with
the world. Miss Mary figured up the
cash statistics and found that her
post was the gamer by $1,000 which
went into a clubhouse fund.
She staged two other bouts and was
in the midst of negotiating for finish
battle between Benny Leonard, light
weight champion, and Johnny Dundee,
Leonard's business partner, when ma
tional headquarters of the Legion
heard about her.
Forthwith the young lady was
called to Indianapolis, where she as
sumed secretarial responsibility in the
finance division. She is Legion en-
thusiast, and whenever her post gets
behind or needs money she's going
back and put on another bout. She
ssays so, and she ought to know.

GOT THE MONEY IN
PRIZE FIGHT GAME

Somewhere in these United States
there may be another woman prize
fight promoter, but whether or not,
the fact remains that Miss Mary Price
of Huntington, w. Va, is the only one
south of the Mason and Dixon line,
and probably the only one who ever
made any money at the game.
And at that she was working for
the American Legion, and not for her
self.
When the United States stepped into
the World war to put over the K. o.,
Miss Price decided she'd get in, too.
So she enlisted in the navy, and they
made her a yeowoman. When she
was discharged and had Joined the
Huntington post of the Legion they
decided she was just the person need
ed to put over series Of contem-
plated boxing bouts. The post need
ed money for a clubhouse and Mary,
who was filled with the enthusiasm
usually found in a pretty miss Of
twenty-four, said she would go to 1t.
She hired the hall, and looked over the
field for first-class fighters. Light
weights, she saw, made the neatest
fight = nothing of the knock-down-
and-drag-out characterize she put on
three ten-round bouts. Johnny Martin
Of New York versus Patsy Haley of
Cincinnati, was the main go. A scrap

Umbrella Vendors Taxi Men
 Pray Loudest For Rainy Day
Business Hard Hit By Drought-Bootblacks
 Joyful

The next time you start to say mean things about the weatherman and the friday drought, just pause minute and think of the man who sells umbrellas and the chap who drives a taxi in Bir- mingham.
 Dust checked citizens will shout with glee at the first sign of long-due precipitation weary housewives, who have long since given up as hopeless the task of keeping the parlor furni- ture looking like par1or furniture, will offer up a prayer of thanksgiving ; marched vegetation all over the city will once more believe there is Santa Claus-if it ever rains.
 But the man who sells umbrellas and the taxi driver will be even mere iubilant. For they have been hit by this record dry spell where hitting hurts most--in the pocketbook.
 The cabby, accustomed to halllng the first few patters of rain as sure sign of increasing fares, says he might just as well be trying to make living on the Sahara Desert. Fares, according to the head of one of the largest taxicab concerns here, have dropped off greatly because of the drought, in comparison with figures of previous years. A cer- tain percentage of rainy days are neces- sary each month to make the business profitable, he said

NEW GAS HOLDER
 FOR BIRMINGHAM TO COST &25,OOO
Will Care For 5,OOO,OOO Cubic Feet-Assures
 Continuous Supply

The Birmingham Electric company has on its 1925 expansion program a new 5,OOO000 cubic feet gas holder, it was learned Saturday. This holder, 40 per cent larger than any other similar container owned by the company, will cost in the neighborhood of $425,OOO.
 Exact location for the holder or de tails concerning its construction have not yet been worked out, stated Pres ident J. S. Pevear, but the plan is held to have it ready for use by next fall. In taking this step to increase storage facilities Mr. Pevear said the purpose is to guard against emergencies and to take care of the company's growing business. Under the present arrangement mechanical. accident would cripple the city's gas supply in five hours. Then ew building will make possible the furnishing of gas for over 24 hours without fresh supplies from Sloss- Sheffield which manufacturers the company's gas.
 The largest gas holder now in opera tion by the Birmingham Electric com pany has a capacity of 3,000,0OO cubic feet and is situated at Thirteenth street and Sixth avenue. It is built in move able sections which rise and fall with the volume of gas. The new holder will probably be in five sections, it is said.
 Construction of the new reservoir will follow the lines of the Thirteenth street tank, Mir. Pevear asserted, ex- cept on much larger scale. This plan will include large tank of water beneath the gas with a framework around the exterior which will serve as guide of the sections as they move up and down.

CITY WIDE ROUNDUP OF FOOD LAW v|0LAT0RS BEGINS
Courtesy Wins Distinction
 For Local ' raffic Officer
w. w. Dean Voted Most Polite Cop In All
 Birmingham

Traffic Officer w. w. Dean, station ed at First avenue and Twentieth street, has been voted the most polite end courteous officer in Birmingham. by the League If Women Voters.
 The reason is simple enough, yet far from properly observed. Officer Dean quickly stated when questioned by q newspaper man. Its the application means that in arresting person l all ways try to speak to them and treat them as l would be spoken to and treated under the same circumstances" "
 Mir. Dean has served as petty naval officer, as New Jersey state police man, as special officer in Philadel- phia, and as a deputy sheriff in Jack son county. covering a period from his 21th birthday to the present time, 16 years. During that period he has never drawn his gun on man.
 "Yes, I have been in some tight places," he said, but I have always managed to aquit myself honorably without shooting or even drawing my gun." The statement was easily be- lieved. Dean stands little over six feet and is built and muscled accord ingly.
 Has Naval Diplomas
 He holds a diploma from the United States Naval academy at Annapolis for physical culture, and was physical cul- ture instructor in the Atlantic fleet from 1918 until the close of the World war. II have offered to give physical culture lessons to the city policemen and firemen free of charge, but have received nc answer to my offer yet" Mir. Dean said T would like to put on the work for I really enjoy il"
 Officer Dean was born in Clay coun- ty, Ala, but at the age of four moved with his parents to Jackson county, Ala. At the age of II he ran away from home and began to rove around the world. He came to Birmingham in 1906 and in November of the fol- lowing year poined the United States navy.
 He served two enlistments in the navy, receiving his discharge in 1915, year following the battle of Vera Cruise in which he participated. He re-entered the navy at the outbreak of the World war and served another four years.
 During his career he has served in every position filled by petty officers up to senior Boatswain mate. He en- listed as third class seaman and inside a year had been promoted to a third class petty officer. At one time Dean served as master of arms and held this rank when the Yankees invaded Mexico. At that time he was aboard ship with Admiral Sims.
