LADIES ASKED TO
 HELP WITH FUNDS
Mrs. Borden Burr Seeks Dollar Con. tributiOns to Aid Wilson
 Marshall Cause

Mrs. Borden Burr, one of the chairmen for Alabama of the National Woman's wilson-M Marshall club. has made an ap- peal to the women of democracy to aid by dollar subscriptions the cause of the party.
 Her appeal Is contained in the following statement:
 "The national democratic campaign is dependent upon individual subscriptions for funds to meet it's necessary and legit- innate expenses. Tt assumes that the women of demo- cratic households are sufficiently inter- ested in the success of tine candidates of their husbands and fathers to join the dollar subscription club. For the purpose of soliciting these subscriptions the Woman's National Will Marshall organization has been formed and chairmen have been named in each state.
 ''As one of the chairmen for Alabama I would be pleased to receive these dollar subscriptions and trust that the women of Alabama will respond as generously as the women of the other states.

CARS ID STOP ONLY . ON THE NEAR" SIDE New Regulation in Down. town Section Goes Into
 Effect Nov. 1

Effective November the cars of tho Birmingham Railway,i Light and Power company will be stoppel only on the near side" of all streets and avenues for the purpose of putting off or talk ing on passengers.
 At the present time the cars often stop on both the near and the far side. A bulletin setting for the proposed change. effective November 1, is posted in the cars of the city.
 As to whether or not this change will result in protests cannot be pre- dicted. although there were rumors yesterday. It was pointed out. as an illustration of how the new plans would effect conditions, that on route south, South Highland cars will no longer stop at the corner of Parkers drug store This is the corner where the great majority of those who ride the Highlands cars south are accustomed to get aboard.
 It is understood that an effort will be have the company amend its bulletin so that cars south will stop in the fu- ture, as at the present time. at Parker's corner, and probably at other equally as important corners of the city.

ENTERTAINMENT BY
 NEWSPAPER CLUB
Arrangements Under Way to Dine Those Who Helped Entertain
 Alabama Press

The members of the Newspaper club of Birmingham are making prepara- tions to entertain those friends who as- sisted the club in the entertainment of the members of the Alabama Press association last June
 No definite arrangements have been made, but according to the plan con- sidered at the present time, smoker or an informal dinner will be rendered. Informality will be the keynote, for the members of the club have agreed that good times are possible only when evening clothes are barred.
 As is remembered, the local club en- tertained the members of the Alabama Press association in June. The banquet served was a magnificent success, and ss a result, the writers returned to thier homes full of praise for Birming ham.
 In that entertainment number of men of Birmingham assisted. It is these men that the members of the To- cal newspaper club desire to entertain.
 The club will probably meet this week, following which an announce ment will be made to the public.

Specially Fond of Women in Low Necked Gowns

"Everybody's getting coryza, or soon will be- declared the head or the De- partment of Contagious Diseases or the City Health Bureau. The disease makes an attack at this time of the year, and Is particularly severe on women who wear low cut gowns. Coryza is termed ''the big sneeze.'
 When the tip of your nose starts to blush. when your lips and the roof or your mouth begins to feel dry and hard, and your eyes fill up with tears Tor no apparent reason. you've got coryza, or rather coryza has got you.
 Coryza comes just when the time has arrived to change underwear. Many meet 1t when sitting at the open win dows of street cars Particularly, say the Health Department physicians, does coryza att8e4xaWQmen in low neck gowns just HIT }bey have danced

ATTORNEY SHOULD
 HAVE EXPERIENCE
Henderson Talks About the Plans for Railroad Rate
 Hearing Next Month

That an inexperienced attorney in representing the state in railroad rate litigation would prove a handicap to the railroad commission, was a state- nent yesterday afternoon of Charles Henderson, president of the railroad commission.
 MT. Henderson was asked if at the hearing of the Louisville and Nashville railroad passenger rnte case Novem- Der 1 the state would be represented by attorney. He candidly stated in reply that he was unable to say.
 He was asked if it was true that the commission had written the gover- nor requesting that the commission be given the services of an attorney ex- perienced fin rate litigation or no at- torney at all He evaded. But when asked if the commission could use an Inexperienced attorney to advantage he replied:
 An inexperienced attorney would be handicap"
 For several years, as is known, the commission has had the services of IS. D. Weakley and H. c. Selheimer. These lawyers have been relieved of their duties and as the passenger rate hearing Is scheduled for November 1 there has been wonder expressed as 10 whether or not Governor O'Neal would employ other counsel. The pres ident of the commission is no wiser than the people. for he states simply that he doesn't know.
 The Louisville and Nashville at the hearing will give reason for increasing it's passenger rate from 21s cents 10 9 certs per mile. This hearing was originally set for June. At that time, however. both the state and the rail- road agreed to postponement.
 MT. Henderson states that he will oppose any further postponement, as in his opinion the matter is of great importance and should be adjusted. He returned to Montgomery yesterday aft- ernoon after having attended to of ncial business in Jefferson and other counties of this section of the state.

City Win Keep and Feed
 Animals of the Zoo

mission a formal resolution will be adopt ed, establishing the zoo at Avondale park and following that, work will start at once on the buildings for the animals. The cost for the buildings and furnishings is being arranged by the committee ap- pointed for that purpose and will be given to the city commissioners Tuesday. It is probable that Frank H. Gafford, street commissioner, who superrntended the con- struction of the new jail. VIII have charge of the construction of the flrst zoo build ings. An engineer will indicate the po- sition for the buildings and while they will be of low cost the structures will be attractive. The construction of the build ings will not require any great amount of time, it is said.
 The zoo proposition, which has been fin formative stage here for some years, was never so near success.

 Concerning the increase in telephone rates. which was permitted by the com missioners. he uses one word-"bad.'
 His interview follows:
