PHILLIPS SHOWS
 WHY HE OPPOSES
 LIBRARY Y''SITE
Outlines Nine Reasons For Objections To
 Wilson Park

Nine outstanding reasons why the proposed new public library should not be located in Woodrow Wilson park, have been advanced by NJ. F. Phillips, vice chairman of the park and recrea- tion board.
 They are:
 Il. Woodrow Wilson park was given in trust to Birmingham to be used as park, but with the stipulation that in event the capitol was moved to Bir- mingham, there could be erected in it the capitol building. It shall be so held. Otherwise, public spirited citi- zens will be afraid to give property to the city to be used for special pur- poses, fearing that when they are dead, the property will be diverted to some other purpose.
 "2. While in St. .LcEis lasb Tay. l was shown square of solid built up property that the park department and other civic center interests of the city had the money to obtain by purchase or condemnation, and the valuable buildings thereon were going to be re- moved in order to give needed open space in the heart of the city.
 "3. Birmingham has too small an acreage of downtown centrally located parks, and it would be grievous mis- take to dispose of any portion of the park property she now owns, on which to erect buildings of any description. Many of us believe that Birmingham within twenty-five years, will be city approaching a million people, and the city will greatly need every foot of the land contained in the open spaces of Woodrow Wilson and the two other downtown city park spaces. If Bir- mingham grows to have even a half or three-quarters of million population, coming generations will condemn who- ever is responsible for surrendering a portion of Woodrow Wilson park for any purpose other than park develop ment. We do not have to wait for the coming generations, as a large number of citizens are now opposed to library being placed in Woodrow Wilson park.
 Cost Would Be Greater
 A. Should the library building be erected in Woodrow Wilson park, all sides of the building will be exposed to public view and should be ornamented, which will cost considerable more money. Large masses of people going to and coming from the city auditorium, courthouse, the city hall, or other pub lie buildings located on this civic cen- ter, will be viewing the building from all sides; and building located in a park should be artistic and pleasing to the eye from all viewpoints.
 '5. If the library building is placed in Woodrow Wilson park, it will be difficult to prevent an art building or some other public building being erected

 Training Is Wrong.
 But the main point am trying to make is that the training and environ ment of these boys was such as to pro- duce criminals. There are three im- portant points that make moral char acter, which these boys did not pos- sess. The first is an uninterrupted and undisturbed faith in God and obe- dience to some system of religion. If man is a Jew. believes in the Jewish god, sticks to the Jewish religion, he is much more likely to make moral man than when his faith is disturbed, his religion confused and his account ability to God released.
 '"These boys have lost their mo0rings, the cable to their anchor had been cut, they were adrift in faith and thought. This is a criminal condition.
 "In the next place, they had money. Economy is the greatest preserving force of character; money the greatest dissipator. They had unlimited money.
 And third, industry is one of the most power-conserving forces in the building of character. The old proverb, an idle brain is the devils workshop, is always true and he never fails to pick up his tools and begin the job. These boys were raised in idleness.
 'There are certain amusements that have always dissipated character. The dance hall, with it's uncertain hours, nocturnal reveries and tendency toward infringement of all laws, nas always been a most dangerous enemy to good morals. And the moving pictures, with :heir constant stream of vicious teach ing; and the idle whirl of Chicago life seen and experienced with the aid of unlimited money. These would destroy. any ordinary character.
 'The point I'm trying to make is: when the mental ship is adrift, all sorts of immoral freaks or phantasies are followed. A weakened mental state is subjected to criminal dreams, it is pos sessed with a criminal dementia. Then anything is possible.
 For a remedy, we need three things. Parents, who possessing an abiding be- lief in the God of their religion and of rigid adherence to their religious tenets, who will instill this love of God into their sons and daughters.
 We need parents who will exercise a close, minute supervision of the daily lives and habits of their offspring and who will guide them into safe pathways. And we need schools that will compel young minds to turn to the channels which lead to the harbors of sound character" Dr. Stuart concluded.

FORD VICTORY SEEN
 AT MUSCLE SHOALS
Colonel Mays Sees Signs Of
 Prosperity On All Sides

Col. Lewis A. May of New York, formerly of Birmingham and president of the proposed Mobile and West Ala bama railroad arrived in Birmingham Sunday optimistic over the propect of Henry Ford securing Muscile Shoals in December.
 Colonel May said he saw evidences of prosperity and sound business growth on every hand, especially in building operations.
 II feel positive that Congress will award the Muscle Shoals enterprise to MT. Ford" Colonel May declared. 'It is unquestionably being recognized thatlit is the only practicable and feasi- ble offer-and one that is best for the people, especially the agricultural class.
 II find the opposition to Ford grad ually melting away even among those interests that formerly opposed him. During my recent visit to Cleveland and Detroit I found a general spirit of optimism and confidence in the future and especially in the south.
 When Mir. Ford begins to pour his millions into Alabama and the un- told millions of others follow his lead, you will witness prosperity of magni- tude hitherto undreamed Of."

"that the human body is 99 per cent. efficient, an opinion based on our own experiments plus deductions from the latest medical developments. Given proper food and light, the body would take care of itself, without interfer- ence.
 Light we consider of primary inn portance. Tests on eggs and chickens prove that. Therefore, vibrations are of primary importance, which can be substantiated by such simple experi- ments as vases ringing in tune with a piano note or bridge vibrating to the steps of soldiers in line. I think we are at liberty to assume that the whole body is affected by light--that is, by electromagnetic waves.
 ''Your hand gives a certain response, has a certain reflex from certain electromagnetic waves Now, cut your hand or bruise it. You have a differ ent hand, if I put it very simply; the atoms of your hand are different than they were when your hand was well. Their reaction is different. Now, if we can control our energy, and we must find the particular wave which will cause the healing reflex for every dis ease, then haven't we an exceptional cure?
 Medicine Still An Art
 ''In time I am certain we will be able first to diagnose diseases and then cure them by electromagnetic vibrations. Medicine, with all due respect to it, is still an art; witness how often diag- noses of eminent physicians will dis agree. By means of electricity we hope to make diagnosis, and cure, an exact science"
 Dr. Burnett said that by means of his experiments he hoped to find fundamental law governing life. He did not expect to discover how life be- gan; the beginnings, he said, would be 'too far in the higher vibrations"
 No matter how we develop diagnosis and healing by electrolitic means" he said, i've shall not, of course, be able to end disease. We will never be able to do that because man is too satisfied with the way he lives. He likes the pleasures and his comforts too much. But what we can do is make the world better place in which to live"
 Dr. Burnett is a. young man, thirty eight, who began his study of the hu- man body after he suffered an attack of tuberculosis in his right Ash0dlder and was healed, despite what he described as his extreme scepticism, by the os- cilloclast. He then studied at the American School of Osteopathy and practiced for eight years, opening a large sanitarium at Newark.

Will Lay Results Of Two Years Labor Before1
 Experts At Chicago Convention

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.--Dr. J. Clawson Burnett, who has passed the last two years searching for the foun- tain of life in electronic energy, is ready to announce the first fruits of his labors. Should their examination by scientific societies prove them to be as valuable as Dr. Burnett considers them, he says the world may have them.
 Dr. Burnett, with the assistance of J. H. Hallberg, electrical engineer, is attempting to show the practicability of the atomonic theory as regards the hu- man body. The experiments have been conducted in an unusual laboratory in the wooded hills of the Palisades at AL pine, N. Y. The laboratory was erect ed by Dr.. Brunette and his wealthy wife at cost exceeding $250,000.
 His is a privately endowed institu- tion, known as the Burnett Timken Research Laboratory, and he says the commercial possibilities of his discover ies do not interest him.
 Dr. Burnett and Mir. Hallberg have gone to Chicago with an instrument known as the oscilloclast, around which a medical storm has ragged since it's in- vention several years ago by the late Dr. Albert Abrams of California. The oscilloclast was designed to heal dis eases by the discharge of electrOnic force; in other words, instead of heal ing by medicine, it was intended to heal by radio waves.
 Body 09 Per Cent. Efficient
 Much has been claimed for the os- cilloclast and much said against it. Dr. Burnett and MT. Hallberg claim to have an important announcement te make concerning it, emphasizing the fact that they are. interested only in proving or disproving the advanced theories of Dr. Abrams concerning electronic control. They intend to prove that the oscillo- clast actually gives off electric energy, vital question around which much of the heated discussion concerning it has centered. Y
 The instrument will be demon strated at the Hotel La Sale in Chicago during the convention of the American Electronic Research Associa- tiOn, which is to convene from Sunday to Wednesday. Scientists from all parts of the country will attend.
 Before long, Dr. Burnett expects to make public reports on other scientific questions of importance to the electrical world. One of the first will offer proof that evaporation is an electrical phe- nomenon, which, if substantiated, would be of inestimable value in the diag- nosis of disease, inasmuch as body fluids could be submitted to valuable tests now meaningless.
 We maintain" says MT. Hallberg,

Same As That Found In Mrs. Flights Stomach,
 Says Chemist

MOUNT VERNON, H., Sept. 21.- The same kind of poison found in the stomach of Mrs. Anna flight, whose husband, the Rev. Lawrence NJ. Height, of Ina, is being held in jail here pend ing an investigation of his wife's death, has been found in the stomach of Milford Sweetin, Dr. w. D. McNally, Chicago chemist, reported today to Coroner Reece. Sweetin died under mysterious circumstances two months ago.
 Contents of Sweetin'S stomach had been sent to Dr. McNally for analysis The message to the coroner was brief, merely infroming the coroner that poison had been found and that a de- tailed report would be sent later.

in another portion of it or in one of the other downtown parks; and once any building is erected in these parks, will possibly result in the park space being lost altogether in the course of years.
 "6. The park board contemplates, at as early a date as possible, beautifying Woodrow Wilson park suitably for a civic center, and owing to it's location, more thought will be given to the beau tifying of this square than probably to any other park in the city and any building loca< d in the park will greatly hamper the park board in developing this piece of ground.
 "7. Everyone familiar with parks knows that in New York and Boston desperate efforts have been made fsr years to obtain building sites in Cen tray park and Boston commons with out success; and these are the oldest cities and the most experienced in civic affairs in the United States and Bir- mingham cannot afford to do other than follow their example in such matters.
 "S. Birmingham needs a library, but cannot afford, in order to save S300 GOO to the library board, to deliver property Tn Woodrow Wilson park that in com ing years the city will need more than at present, and probably would have to pay few millions of dollars to ob- tam just as other cities are having to
 ": The principal reason for using the land in Woodrow Wilson park to build library on is to save the library board the expense of buying a suitable lot elsewhere on which to build, as they are unable to build a library and purchase lot elsewhere on S65O. 900. Gan Birmingham afford for the mere sum or S200,OOO to surrender any of the land in its principal park property Tn the center of the city?
