AVIATION BOOSTERS
 GETTING RESULTS
Decorated-Race With Train Called Off

The gentlemen of the Business Men S league, under their able leader, J. H. Holcombe, are accomplishing splendid re- suits for the Spring Celebration" the auto races and aviation meet to be held April 15-20. Judge Dan Green, president of the Birmingham Automobile asoscia- ton and chairman of the racing commit tee, deserves much credit for his interest and initiative in the boosting of the au- tomobile game
 An erroneous impression has been made by references to the decorating of the city for the big celebration. which was unintentional. Instead of people being ex- pected to decorate their homes and places of business, purchasing material from the dealers, it Is sought by the business men 10 have only the business houses and buildings decorated, although if citizens care to do so. their interest and loyalty will be appreciated.
 There are professional decorators in Birmingham who are prepared to do this work, and for very reasonable terms, decorating for the celebration only.
 Commencing the first of the week, the merchants and business men of Birming- ham are going to inaugurate into their advertising in the daily newspapers some thing pertaining to the celebration which will help advertise and exploit the avia- ton meet-automobile show and races.
 The motorcycle races give promise of great interest. Gail Joyce, a speedy motor bug of Birmingham, in compet- ing against Arthur Mitchell, the cracker jack rider from Chicago, will give the crowd plenty of excitement. These two classy riders will be seen in four of the professional events.
 The contemplated airship race with d Louisville and Nashville train has been called off. It is now assured that there will be eight aeroplanes during the entire meet and several flights will be made over the city.
