NOTED BOY WORKER TO SPEAK
 AT LUNCHEON OF CHAMBER

secretary of the Boy Scouts. and one of the greatest boy workers of modern times. The regular price of 50 cents will be charged for the luncheon. Tkis is the first luncheon of this kind held by the chamber since the weekly luncheons were discontinued last July
 This is not revival of the weekly luncheons. emphatically stated Secretary Radcliffe of the chamber yesterday I've will hold these luneheons as often as possible, probably about once month and will exert every effort to have an outside man from somewhere to appear and deliver an address.
 We have good men here who can rake good speeches and this means no slur on them. The presence of an outsider, how ever, gives us new views, enables us to look at our home problems and under takings from new angle and therein lies the value of having such man on the programme as often as possible.
 By carrying out this policy and not holding the luncheons oftener than about once month believe much good can be done and it will not wear out as did the weekly luncheons.''

WEATHERLY GLAD
 OF REFERENDUM Would Like to See B. R., l.. X P. Co. Appeal to
 the People

There was apparently feeling of indif- the rumor that referendum would be invoked by property owners as to the granting of the Avenue F franchise to the Kelly interests which. while not yet acted upon officially, will be passed by the commissioners
 Commissioner James weatherly, who is interested in the matter very deeply, said that he was very pleasantly surprised to learn that the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company was inclined to try it's case at the bar of public opln- ion '.
 "If the property owners wish to they have my unqualified consent and ap- proval for the referendum on that mat ter" said MT Weatherly. Tt will be very pleasant to see whether the people of Birmingham will grant two and one down Avenue F, to the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company. It will be, I should say, an unique role for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and it's advocates to undertake to get franchises by appealing to the people,
 Captain Romaine Boyd, city attorney, Is drawing up the franchise ordinance which has been amended from the original for tho Kelly interests. That will be acted upon at the next meeting perhaps.
 we may not formally grant the Kel- ly franchise said MT Weatherly. "The applicants must not only pay us for that right but they must show this com mission their hand before the franchise will be acted upon Every detail of that grant will be looked over carefully be- fore action is takea."

Just Published The Net By REX BEACH

Big, buoyant, bracing, this new story surges along through stormy seas of excitement to it's final anchorage in the placid depths of love. Yes. love is here-the strong, passionate love of a man for his hearts desire. Revenge is here-the hot, reeking revenge of the Sicilian Mafia. Corruption is here political corruption which leads to riot. And through all these scenes of vio- lence and bloodshed there flows a steady stream of the genuine Rex Beach humor-the humor of brilliant phrase and ludicrous situation.
 Like his other books of the lawless North. this new novel will quicken ev- cry heart that pumps red blood, and while in real life one does not care for over much slaughter, yet in fiction the guns boom softly and we remember only the tenderness of the meetings of lovers as we close the book.
