TOXIC, Dec. L. Thousands were
turned away from meeting that pack
ed the biggest hall in Osaka to hear
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the leader of the
movement for the unification of China,
and staunch friend of Soviet Russia.
Played Capitalist Powers.
Sun denounced the capitalist powers
and declared there was only one gov
ornment in the world that followed the
policy of giving the Asiatics assistance
in freeing themselves from foreign
rule. He declared it was the duty of
the Asiatics to help the oppressed col
ored races in Africa and America.
The agents of the capitalist powers,
particularly those of the United States
and Britain are working hard trying
to line up the new Pekin government
on their side. One of their demands
is the return to power of WI Pei Flu,
the British-Wall Street agent. Wheth-
er they shall be successful or not can
not be predicted just now.
What the Admiral Says.
Admiral Takarabe, minister of the
Japanese navy, declared that Japan is
willing to consider proposal for fur
Their reduction of ornaments on a
basis compatible with her needs for
national defense. The admiral indulg-
ed in the usual diplomatic twaddle
about the traditional friendship be-
tween the United States and Japan,
but both governments are building
ships against each other.
Protests against the projected naval
maneuvers of the United States Paci-
fic fleet at Hawaii continue to come
from Japanese organizations.

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 25.-Harry

detectives on the charge of forging a
large number of checks on the Cincin-

EXPERT SPEAKERS

The Kiwanias, Rotary and Lions clubs
met in joint session Tuesday at the
Grand hotel and enjoyed program of
exceptional merit. 1t being the date
for the regular session of the Lions club,
their president, G.. B. Hollingsworth,
presided. A skit was read by Lion
Smithson in which the entire member
ship of the club was introduced, mem
Der by member through the medium of
verse. Mrs. Paul Ragsdale sang two
vocal numbers which were well received.
The principal speaker was ]. w. Grist
general manager of the Retail Merchants
institute, Chicago. Mr.. Grist dealt in
a very forceful way with various COM
nrnity problems which are constantly
confronting the average city, stated the
problems and offered various remedies
or solutions for them. He emphasized
particularly the fact that any comtnun-
ity must sell itself to itself by correct
advertising and said merchants of a
city could not hope to cope with the
great mail order houses, the chain stores,
or other similar institutions unless,
through the medium of advertising and
service, they made their own PROPOSE
ton as attractive as that which could
lie offered elsewhere.

Experimentation Of Is
Years Successful At
Last
LEASED Wire to Age.Heraldl

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The deaf
have long carried electrical ear drums
to aid their hearing and now, as an
achievement of long scientific research,
the speeches. may talk with the as
sistance of "vest-pocket larynx."
Hundreds of survivors of one of sur
geries' most delicate operations, the re-
mpval of the vocal cords as q cure fer
throat. cancer, go about with their lungs
functioning through hole cut in their
threats. As result, they have lost
their powers Of speech.
Through the efforts of DR.. John Ed
mund Mackenty, noted throat surgeon,
and the research department of the
Western Electric company, these vic
tins have a ray of hope. They may
now speak distinctly through man
made voice box, which may be carried
in the pocket when not in use.
Fourteen of the man-made voices, the
result of IS years. experimentation, are
now in use. The development has
reached a point where the Western
Electric will begin manufacturing them.
The thousands of dollars invested in
the research will never be realized by
sales. Those now in use have not all
been purchased, for if the cancer vic
tim is unable to pay for the voice box
he is loaned" one without charge.
The climax of the achievement of
the scientists will come Friday night
in Baltimore when two 'novices, whose
vocal cords have been removed through
the cancer operation, will stand before
the physicians of the otolaryngolical
society and speak, nearly as clearly as
they spoke before they lost their voices.

DIVERSFICATION
OF FABRICATION
pRFDIl'TFD HERE
Industrial Leaders Speak
At Luncheon Given By
Women Voters

Birmingham's rapid development in
to an industrial city is to be followed
by an era of diversification of fabrica-
ton, which will make the city the
most important in the south.
This was the idea which prevailed
the luncheon given by the Jefferson
County League Of Women Voters at the
Hillman hotel Tuesday at which manu-
facturers who had booths at the third
annual Manufacturers and Housewives
exhibit were honor guests. And that
theme was followed by the five speak
ers on the program, who represented
five different phases of Birmingham's
civic life.
After George Crawford, president Of
the T. G. l., and the first speaker
on the program had been introduced
by Mrs. J. M. Hawkins, league presi-
dent, he declared that it would be pos
sible for Birmingham to manufacture
many articles, needed and used in the
south, which now are made only in the
north. He also told Of his vision Of
Birmihgham's future, which was very
bright.
Other Brief Talks
j. G. Hodges, representing Birming-
nam manufacturers, Mrs. IL. J. Haley,
representing the wonen's clubs and
Rev. James A. Bryan, representing the
churches, carried out this theme in
brief talks. Erskine Ramsey, represent
ing the schools, gave some interesting
figures, which showed the city's growth
At present there are 4,623 pupils en-
rolled in the public schools as COM
pared with slightly over $4,000 in 1910,
he said. In 1910 there were 1,780 high
school pupils and this number has
grown to 6,625. In 1910, the night
schools had lat pupils while at the
present time 1,674 are enrolled.
In addition to the speakers, Mrs
Merz, accompanied by Mrs. E. T. Rice.
sang and Bernard Sold, director of the
Little theater, gave three readings. The
final feature on the program was the
showing of slides, containing pictures
of all the booths at the exhibit, together
with the manufacturers name and
slogan.
At meeting of the league after the
luncheon, resolution was passed pro-
viding that new members will not be
allowed to vote on league activities I'M
til they have been members for at least
three months. X

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Unless
a generous somebody gets busy right
away, President Coolidge will have to
buy his own Thanksgiving turkey this
year. Thanksgiving us only three days
away and no bird has arrived at the
White House. Usually the president
has half dozen gobblers pecking corn

A huge box Of cranberries arrived
Monday. The president received
small butchered turkey a week ago.
This was apparently not intended as

passing out the surplus gift birds to
the help around the White House, IS

Closing Proposal At
Meeting
lEnSIoY Rureau.l

The Ensley Associated Merchants at
its meeting Tuesday voted not to close
all day Thursday after discussion of the
problem. 1t was pointed out that We'd
nesday was steel plant pay day, and
that the following morning, Thanksgiv-
ing, many patrons would want service
from the stores. Because of this stores
had best remain open at least until
noon.
Before taking this action the club was
addressed by Professor Elmer E. Smith,
who presented members with compli-
mentary tickets to the football game
and requested the cooperation of mer-
chants in the debate, to be held with
the Bessemer High and other college ac-
tivities, aside from football. The mer-
chants received d. +. Faircloth into
mem bership and transacted additional

ENGLAND URGED
TO STUDY AMERICA
Sir Esme Talks To London In
Radio Test

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The
teaching of American history as well
as geography in English schools and
the acquisition of a greater personal
knowledge of the United States "by
travel and contact" as a means of
strengthening the friendship between
English speaking countries, was urged
tonight by Sir Esme Howard, British
ambassador, radiocast from station
WRC in the tests to establish direct
radio communication between this
continent and Europe.
Requiring of each English school
boy the reading of a short life of
Washington and the problems of his
time, similar life of Lincoln, and one
of Roosevelt, would in the opinion of
the ambassador, bring America as she
is as wildly as possible before the eyes
of our young people"

also Constipation, and was told that was
the cause of his headaches, but the
medicine he used did not seem to give
him any relief. He never felt like eat

time. Friends of ours, who had used
Herb Juice, advised him to try it, and
I can truthfully say 1t has done all they
with those headaches any more, now
has wonderful appetite, looks better
than he has for years, and is like diff
ferent man since he began using HERB
JUICE. Says he has also been relieved
OF the Constipation trouble"

of the Age-Herald was'the guest of the
Ensley Merchants association Tuesday
and addressed that body for few min

meeting was the fact that it was the

Mr.. Allen told the merchants that the

men that a newspaper was not for its
owners or for those who CHANGED to
