CANDIDATES ARE AWAITING ACTION
 OF COM MMITTEE

Efforts to got the city democratic ex- a meeting have so far met with i'll luck Practically every announced candidate has expressed q wish that the commit tee get together and set a definite date for the primary. No matter whether the primary is to be early or late there ap- pears to be the general sentiment among the candidates that the date for it should be announced.
 By getting together now and arrang- ing matters it is argued that the strain under which the candidates and would be candidates are now laboring would be greatly relieved. If the date set should be late the public, it is further argued could forget city politics for q tinle while if the primary should be held early there could be short, swift campaign and the whole matter settled
 A survey of the committee shows it to contain one small group who don't want the committee to meet at present, another small group who want it to meet right now and a large majority of the committee who apparently don't care whether the committee ever meets or not.
 While the committee is remaining in it's state of statu quo politicians arc getting hollow -eyed and weak-kneed wondering what is what and who is who.

COREY WORK TO BE ON IMMENSE SCALE Preliminary Reports Show Re
 markable Figures. COST WILL BE ENORMOUS Fully 2O,0o0 Barrels of Cement Will be Used and 1sG.0Oe Wagon Loads
 of Dirt Must be
 Moved.
COST WILL BE ENORMOUS

The preliminary reports of Meade and Huey, engineers for Corey, the model town being erected adjoining the recently lcoured properties for the plants of the United States Steel corporation near Ems Icy. show some interesting figures. The reports also give the public for the first time. an adequate idea Of how much money will be expended and how much work will be done on this property, the greatest town building plan ever fostered in the sonth.
 As a. beginner, there are 1s6,0e9 cubic yards of dirt to be hauled, which amounts to 1Se,O00 wago nloads. This dirt will be moved in the grading. filling and other work which is being planned by eminent landscape architects to make Corey q model in drainage and from a landscape architectural standpoint.
 There will be S7.S50 lineal feet of com bination cement curb and gutter, which Is about 1eie miles, and 1S,6oo feet of lincal eenen mt curb. equal to about 26 miles,
 The plans call for 46.65o square yards of cement sidewalks. which is equivalent to about % miles, and there are SS l15 square yards of macadam streets, and 32, .1i square yards of paved streets, the former equal to five miles and the latter to two miles of paving.
 There will be a14 miles of storm sewers in Corey, and Si2 miles of sanitary sewers of various sizes, SIS miles of water main and Sis miles of gas mains. So that II will be seen that Corey will rival from its very inception many of the largest cities and towns in Alabama. outside of Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile, ir street improvements and sanitation.
 It is estimated that 2o.oeo barrels of ce- mcnt will be required for these improve ments, not including the street paving, the character of which has not yet been decided on. If paving in which cement Is necessary is decided on, it will increase the number of barrels of cement several tines over.
 These Improvements will cost s396 900, according to the estimates, without any buildings. landscaping, trees or shrubbery. The company will furnish houses for the skilled laborers of the various plants of the United States Steel corporation as rapidly as there is demand for them, and as there will be thousands of skilled workmen employed in these plants, both in the construction sand operation, the need for homes will be great. This will require an expenditure of several hun dred thousand dollars, according to the estimates of President Robert Jemison, Jr., and others who have studied the sit uation.
 The present plans call for civic center, where the schools will be located, and where there will be a large park and play grounds for the children. There are also several sites set aside for churches ard other public buildings.
 Thousands of trees will be planted. and everything else will be in accordance with the announcements Of the Corey company that this would be made an ideal indus trial city in every sense of the word.

 Wormcr Today
GRoUNDHOG WAS RIGHT

The storm end blizzard foundry away over on the northwestern Pacific coast nas not suspended opera tions. In fact, It looks as if business is picking up, and ii the official prognostication of Uncle sam's weather observer at Washington Is not iadly off, old Boreas will blow into Bir- ralngham ere the end of the present week to give vent to a goodly portion of his wrath, after having galloped completely Fcross the continent.
 During the past day or two it has been pretty cold hereabouts, the mercury nav ing taken a tumble which seemingly ln- jured it badly enough to prevent it's scal- ing the thermometer immediately. Satur- day night the temperature was consid- erably below freezing, and high wind cut of the northwest added considerably lo the disagreeabe nature of the weather.
 Last night the weather moderated slight ", and the wind was not so much in evidence However, overcoats were not aL all out of place, and during the early hours of the morning the mercury was frolicking around the freezing point.
 The weather forecast sent out from headquarters at Washington last night is 10 the effect that | cold wave is bearing down upon the gulf and Atlantic states from the northwestern Pacific coast. and indications are that it will make it's ad- -ent into Alabama about Friday. Hence those who are not sleptical about the predictions of the weather prognosticator might do well to take notice of this pro- phesy of tho weather wizard.
 So it appears that the groundhog knows lis business. On February he ventured out of his hole. and if he didn't sec his Cwn shadow he saw somebody else's. At any rate the story is that he hurried back iAto> his suhterranean ,domicile for an other six-weeks' nap, and thereby gave warning that late spring was in store.
 Fair and warmer weather is predicted for Alabama today

PLANS FOR FEDERAL
 AUTO REGISTRATION

Washington, February 13.--To urge upon Congress the proposed law for federal registration of automobiles and to pro- mote uniform motor vehicle legislation In the states, national legislative con- vention under the auspices of the Ameri- can Automobile association will begin here with preliminary meeting tomor- row, Governors of twenty states have named delegates. The automobile trade will be largely represented and many who have been prominent in promoting au- tomobile legislation will be present.
 Senator Depew will open the session Tuesday morning with an address.
 Senator Rayner of Maryland, Senator Beveridge of Indiana, and Vice President Sherman have been asked to speak at some of the sessions.
 The first days session will be devoted to consideration of a. uniform state motor vehicle bill and federal registration. C.. T. Terry, chairman of the legislative board Of the American Automobile asso- citation, will lead the discussion. Congress- man Moon of Pennsylvania is expected to outline the federal registration plan on Wednesday.
 The federal registration bill was in- troduced in Congress by Representative Cocks of New York. and it is now in the committee on interstate and foreign com merce. A hearing on the bill will be held at the capitol on Thursday.
 It is the purpose of the federal regis tration bill to allow an automobile owner, after complying with the requirements of the motor law of his own state, to ob- tain federal registration at a nominal fee which will permit him to motor through any state in the union without paying 0 succession of taxes and making a series of registrations.

 There was no one at home when tn ; fire started. The blaze was first d'scov cred by porsons liyinS quarter of l mile away.

If the building had been cached ten m,,utes so )nfr the loss would probably have been confined to few hundred dollars It was claim ed that considera bio time was lost in pulling the fire engine up the l'rg hill.
 It was feared for awhile that tne fire was going to spread to some If the surrounding h )uses. The wind was not blowing hard, however, and 10 other buildings were dama5 5ed As 1t vas so long before the flrs was discovered many expressed the 'pinion .h1t if there had been any wind the fire would have spread very rapidly to other build ings. for 1t had gained great beadway when the f1renen arrived.

THIS IS THE DAY
 OF ST. VALENTINE

Old St. Valentine holds sway today, while the imp of mischief is allowed to play. The loving swain may his love express to the darling maiden he longs to caress, and whilst he must do it in anony- nous fashion, the maid will probably sur mise whom she made the mash on.
 Fantastic paper creations with lovesick ines may tell of how the lover pines. Then dainty flowers of fragrance rare may also tell of Romeo's despair and also with his own hand he may inscribe note and further indicate his desire to be the goat.
 Spiteful persons will also have the chance to send mean little comics that prick like lance. Small boys may play
 heir pranks at will. but in carrying them out they must be "awfully" still, for the slightest noise might bring a hailstorm Of wrath and lecture regarding the course of the narrow path.

Anyone wishing to occupy the space for charit- able purposes can make arrangements to that effect by communicating with A. F. German, the manager. on Peoples phone ii65.
 Dancing will be inaugurated tonight by grand masquerade ball, which promises 10 be one of the greatest affairs of it's kind ever attempted in this city. Prizes will be awarded for various costumes.

There will be no extra charge for those who dance. and no doubt sition on this account as well as to listen to the music.
 Tine various free acts which Manager German promises for next week will make up quite a strong vaudeville bill, he hav- ing engaged for the week the Mysterious Kells in disappearing trunk mys- teiy which is especially good, as is Madam Fisher, who executes a beautiful dance while suspended in mid-air by her teeth on slender wire. This is the first time this act has been seen in this city and no doubt will attract a great deal of fav- orable attention. The great Dolan, in s,eight-of-hand, will perform some tricks which are very amusing as we'll as enter- iaining, his handkerchief juggling being especially good.

LEAGUE TO BE BUSY

The board of directors of the Business Mems league will meet tonight in the Chamber of Commerce building, and will go into the plan for the advertisement of Birmingham during the coming year. A number of questions of importance will be brought up. and President J. II. Hol- combe expects a full attendance.
 Immediately upon adjournment of the league directors the stockholders of the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit assocla- ton will be called to order. A new board of directors will be elected which in turn will elect officers for the en- suing year.
 It is probable that MT. Holcombe will be asked to head the fair association this year. Active steps will be taken imms- diately looking toward the organization of a force to put on the fair, to elicit the cooperation of the merchants and to insure the greatest fair since the asso- citation was organized.
 Secretary Chaffee of the Business Men's league has written a story about Bir- mingham by request for the New York Commercial, which will give the city fine line of publicity. It deals especial- ly with the advertising done by the league.
 The Business Mems league will place a full page advertisement in next month'a Educational Exchange, calling the at. tention of the teachers who will attend the meeting of the Alabama Educational association in Birmingham March a.
