UNDERWOOD AND
 COMER MAKE CALL
Visit Commissioners While in SessiOn-COmer Asks
 License Reduction

Congressman Oscar w Underwood and former Gov. B. B. Conner appeared be- fore the city commissioners yesterday while that body was in session. A brief recess was taken while MT. Underwood paid his respect to the board of com missioners and extended his best wishes for the success of their administratidn and the, continued growth and prosperity of the city. MT. Underwood shook hands with all present and bade them good- bye, stating he would leave almost im- mediately for Washington.
 On resuming business the city com missioners were addressed at length by Mir Conner. who asked the city for a reduction of the license for the Avondale cotton mills. He argued that $500, the amount set out in the license schedule, was entirely too high and asked the city to reduce the amount as was done last year to $50.
 The matter was referred to President Exum to investigate and to report back at a future meeting.

ION TO GEORGIA" CRY OF
 UNDERWOOD LEADERS
.,,...............s....s. ....s..s..,..s.........

Sunday morning large party will leave Birmingham. E. K. Campbell. oscar Fur ner, Henry B. Gray, Culpepper Exum and others will go. It is thought that as many as 15 will make up the party.
 On account of the general belief that Georgia is the pivotal state as far as Un- derwood is concerned. his friends are de- termined to win that state for him. At the present time they believe that Wood row Wilson will be defeated. but they have reached the conclusion that no chances shall be taken.
 Gen. w. w. Brandon has returned from Florida, in which state he made two speeches for Underwood. "There Is no doubt" said he, but that Underwood will carry northern Florida In the south ern section of the state some doubt ex- ists. Each district will elect its own dele gates, and I feel sure that the majority of them will instruct their delegations to support the Alabamian."

MINISTER EGAN
 ARRIVES MONDAY Will Deliver Lecture on Dairying in Denmark.
 Here Two Days

Minister Maurice Egan, United States minister to Denmark, will be in Birming- ham on April 20 and 30 and arrange ments for his entertainment are being planned by the Chamber of Commerce.
 Minister Egan iss touring the south, lecturing on dairy1ng and dairy products of Denmark His lectures are very ben- efcial to the farmers and dairymen who have been turning out in large crowds wherever the minister has appeared.
 Although plans for the entertainment of the distinguished visitor have not been completed. 1t is thought likely that there will be reception for him at the Hill man hotel. He was scheduled to speak in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium on Monday night, but the Medical so- ciety has the hall for that date and 1t will be necessary to make other ar rangements.
 Minister Egan will leave Birmingham Tuesday afternoon for Athens, Ga. where he is scheduled to address the people on the dairy question.

RAIN, AND RAIN ONLY, GAN
 SPOIL SUCCESS OF TAG DAY
It Means Home to Many Street Waif That's Why the Ladies of the Boys Home Are Confident the Citizens of Bng
 ham Will Give Them $5OOO Before the Day is Over

The only thing that can possibly keep this from being the best tag day ever held in Birmingham is a downpour of rain. If the nice weather of the week will only keep up during the day the Boys club and Children's Aid society expect to receive about s5000 from the sale of tags on the streets today.
 The ladies in charge of tag day have been planning for long time just ex- actly how to manage the campaign. They have numerous workers on hand, and the workers have an abundance of the tag day spirit. Scores of pretty girls will be on the streets at an early hour, each one armed with a box of little yellow tags. No one will be al- lowed to pass by unless they wear one of the tags--a certificate of good cheer and badge of honor to the wearer
 Tag days comes but once a year, and on this one day the managers of the Boys Home must make enough money from the sale of the tags to carry on the work of the noble institution

Bennett City Attorney Romaine Boyd was in- structed to draw up an ordinance in ref erence to the use of metal shingles, to be ready to be acted upon at the next meeting of the board.

Mr. Clovis demonstrated his sign before the commissioners and claimed 1t was equal in brilliancy to the present cleo tric sign, while the cost of operation was much less.
