 BENEFIT PICNIC
Funds Now Being Raised For
 Schools

For several years Italian residents in Birmingham have conducted schools, at which children of Italian percentage are instructed in the mother tongue and the history of their country. Civic, as well, and it's relationship to good citi- zenship, play an important part in these schools.
 Maintenance of these schools is car ried on through personal contributions of committee in charge of the Ital- ian schools and from the families which send some of their members to the schools.
 For the purpose of raising additional funds, and to foster a pleasant rela- tionship among the Italian residents and their friends, the committee in charge of the school finances have an nounced a picnic for Thursday, Au- gust 2S. The outing will last from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until Il o'clock at night, and will be staged on the wooded land of MT. Musso, adjoining the grounds of the St. Johns Catholic church Eighty-first street and Twelfth avenue, East Lake.
 Romeo's popular jazz orchestra will furnish music for dancing, and various games and entertainments have been scheduled. The ground and dancing pavilion will be artistically decorted, members of the committee state, and a barbecue and refreshments will be served.
 Admission tickets of 50. cents each may be obtained on the grounds, it was stated Small charges will be made from booths to be erected on the ground in the effort to raise sufficient funds to provide maintenance for the Italian schools during the coming scholastic year. An auto bus will transport visi- tors from College station, on First ave nue, it was announced.

 Star players were scattered all through the game, aud a home run by Bishop for the winning southside was an outstanding feature play for the whole game.
 The winning team had J. McDavid Robertson, Ed McDayid, Louis Mackin, Bishop, Hahn, Parish, Horton and Mackin. With the northside were Bamberg, Payne, Horton, Mccormack, Green, Shewster, Hodges and Ralph Webb
 400 Lunches Served
 Almost 400 box lunches were served at noon at the lake pavilion, where the realtors and their friends lined up for dinner.
 Swimming in Queenstown lake came next in order. Moonlight Ramblers, an unusually lively orchestra, played from 3 o'clock until 6 o'clock in the Roseland dance hall at the lake.
 Neither swimming nor dancing were enough to make the realtors forget the mornings game. Little crowds all around the park, with heads together, were in continuous discussion.
 The menu for the day ended at o'clock and the 400 real estate men, their friends and families drove home. Members of the program committee considered the day a success, each stating that unusual interest in out door activities had never before been shown during such sweltering weather.

Southsiders Stage Game Comeback To Wallop
 Northsiders, 7-6, In Fracas At Queenstown

Sizzling temperature and ardors cooled are usually held synonmous. Enthusiasm born of breezy offices is not expected to retain it's starchy chrispness beneath a sun that wilts even blocks of marble.
 Therefore, Birmingham realtors be- lieve they have established an all-time record-eclipsing even all high marks for property sold and bought-in main taining their ardor and enthusiasm throughout nine innings of sizzling baseball Thursday, at the all-day pie nic and outing of the Real Estate Board at Queenstown.
 The thermometer was registering 97 degrees in the shade when the realtors from south of Second avenue lined up against the realtors north of Second avenue. The mercury had climbed even bit higher at the close of the game, for the 76 victory of the Southsiders was lurid with warmth.
 An Abrupt Climax
 The game, which began mildly and even a little one-sided, proved to be the source of intending enthusiasm. Like all vital games, it was won in the last pinch. The northside kept their three point lead until the eighth inning, when that something that turns many a victory into defeat happened. Result 4 runs for the Southsiders and victory, 7-6. Part of the game was a furious pitchers battle between Mackin and

MILK CONTROL
 CHECKS TYPHOID
Continued from Page Seven)

(Continued from Page Sevenl two used pasteurized milk and three consumed no milk. To realize the sig nificance of these points in the epi- demiological study made of the cases, is must be remembered that approxi- mately 75 per cent of the local milk supply is pasteurized; consequently, nearly four times as many people are concerned in the consumption of pas teurized milk, and yet, out of 38 con- sumers of milk who contracted typhoid, approximately two-thirds were users of raw milk"
 Deaths Decreased.
 Bulmer showed that during the first seven months of this yenr, deaths from colitis among infants decreased by 15 in comparison with the corresponding period in 1923.
 'Prior to 1919" Bulmer continued, Birmingham had a totally inadequate system of milk control. Milk then had a bacterial content averaging almost one million per cubic centimeter, and it was possible to find visible sediment in practically all the milk found on the market. Half the supply was adulte- rated, costing the citizens $94,000 a yedT IOE WdJeE duueu IO Ju6lE ulIh sup ply. A modern milk code is now in ef feet and has been amended but once since it's enactment, and then upon the petition of so per cent of the dairy men.
 ''The health department now has the support of more than 80 per cent of the dairymen. At the rate protests are coming in against any lowering of standards, the public also is squarely behind us.
 Several years ago, during the period when the health department was en- joined from exercising milk control, the milk business became so jeopardized through decreased consumption, due to lack of confidence on the part of the public in the supply and to a state of cut-throat competition between un- scrupulous milk peddlers and estab- lished dairies, that the folly of the whole affair was demonstrated to the better element of dairymen, who, through their attorney in July, 1921, reached an agreement with the health department to immediately reinstate milk control on the basis of the orig inal ordinance with but one modified tion, which had to do with a sliding scale for reducing the bacterial legal limit"

Several suggestions have been made and put aside tempor- arily, although one of these has been seriously considered, it is said, involv- ing mortgaging the present courthouse building and the new site, and selling 10-year 5, 6, or even 8 per cent securi- ties.
 Under the 1924 Alabama code, how ever, 10-year warrants are made tl- legal only 5-year warrants may be sold. These the county cannot carry, it was stated emphatically.
 Already the county's limit of bonded indebtedness is nearly reached, within S2,50000O of being totally subscribed.
 It is apparent that several paths are open, and each member of the present board has his own opinion on which to take. They all agree, however, that the educational and infrmary problems are paramount, and deserving of imme- date attention. This, they say, serves t) deny the rumors.
 The revenue body, therefore, has the following questions to answer
 1. Shall the Hillman receive only S5O0,O00 as suggested by Edmondson, or the entire $600,000 asked?
 2. What can the schools get along with? The full $1,000,000 or half that, as Edmondson also suggests?
 B.. Will bond issues be necessary for erection of the courthouse, and, if so, what size bonds must be issued?
 1. If courthouse bond issues are floated, how much of a curtailment of the school and hospital program will be involved. regardless of Edmondson's s plan?
 5. Will the courthouse building plans be postponed indefinitely in lieu of the present other and more vital needs?

WOMEN ORGANIZE
 COOLIDGE CLUB FOR JEFFERSON
Mrs. Nellie G. Ham Is
 Named Chairman ;;4sR At Meet

Organization of a Coolidge Women's club for Birmingham was completed at meeting of women republicans of lief ferson county Saturday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium. No campaign plans were made at the time of this meeting, although sugges- tions were made by many of the men who attended to aid in the organization ef9the club. O. D. StreetN of Gunters- vile, well-known republican leader of Alabama, made the principal address, urging the women to go after stay at-homes'' and bring them to the polls in November.
 Officers were elected and namaes taken of those who wished to join the movement for Coolidge and Dawes. Mrs. Nellie G. Hamm was made chair many precinct vice-chairmen as she were Miss Ella Conolly, secretary Mrs. Asa P. Hull, treasurer, and Miss Frances Youngblood, publicity chair man.
 Qualities Boosted
 The Coolidge Women's club was de- scribe by Mrs. Hamm as an assoeia- ton to seek the election of Coolidge Because of his qualities, not because of his utilization with the republican party. For that reason, it was declared d thing separate from the Jefferson County Women's Republican league, al- though the two organizations will work together.
 The aim of the republicans of this county. according to Mir. Street and others, including Acting Postmaster J.. G. Bass, who made short addresses, is to poll 12,O00 votes in November.
 ..tiThis can be done," Mir. Street said, elf the women go out and get the votes. The trouble with republicans in this district is that they believe it useless to vote when Alabama is so overwhelmingly democratic. At the 1920 elections 7,500 votes for Harding were cast here without the help of women. With their help, together with the usual campaign conducted by the county republican committee, at least 4,500 more republican votes can be boiled this year"
 Tribute To Mrs. Kennamer
 A tribute was paid Mrs. c. B. Ken namer, national republican committee woman from Alabama and wife ot the United States district attorney here, by the Woman's league, when towards the close of the meeting she was presented with a huge bouquet of flowers.
 7 The next meeting of the newly formed Coolidge Women's club will be held at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday after noon in the small auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce building. At that time definite campaign tactics and plans will be decided upon, it was said.

 Leaders Out Of City
 Armstrong said most of the cam paign leaders left the city last week for short vacations before going into the campaign in earnest.
 Several of these men," he added, spent part of their time in visiting cities whose governmental troubles are similar to Birminghain's. Consequent. ly, we now have a mass of new infor. nation to pass to the people,"
 l.. K. Bowen, county registrar and election commissioner, who has been identified with the aldermanic drive from the start, announced that he spent a week of his vacation visiting Florida and Georgia cities and that he brought home some interesting facts about their municipal affairs.
 An Interesting Situation
 T visited cities that are operating under commission government, alder manic government and city-manager government" Mir. Bowen said. q talked with the officials and got first hand information about their troubles The situation l found in Columbus, Ga, was most interesting of all. Go lumbus has a city manager. The citi- zens are in a fighting mood and are laying steps to make a change. I was told that the first city-manager was forced to leave town, following the dis closure of his high-handed methods. Resentment reached such a boiling point that some of the hot-heads in the city so far forget themselves as to plant a bomb under the city s house.
 In other cities, Mir. Bowen said he obtained facts and figures concerning commission governments that had proved failures. In the cities where aldermanic government exists, he said he found prosperous and contented people"
