UNLESS SUFFICIENT TICKETS
 ARE SOLD AVIATORS WILL BALK

Beginning tomorrow a committee repre- senting the business men of Birmingham and the Berger Aviation company, which will conduct the big aviation meet, auto mobile show and races at the Alabama State Fair grounds the week of April .15,s will start an aggressive campaign among the business interests of Birming- ham to further the raising of the $1e000i advance sale of tickets which are to be distributed by business interests in order to insure a big crowd of out of town visitors
 A wrong impression relative, to the big meet has become circulated broadcast, says J. s. Berger, manager of the Ber- ger Aviation company. Many people con slider that the great meet is positively assured. whether the advance sale of tickets Is made or not. This, says MT. Berger, Is not so, and the aviators asso- ciated with him will not appear unless the advance sale of about $l0,000 worth of tickets is accomplished in the near future. At present, onlsa a little over one third of this amount has been sub scribed, although the cost of the meet itself will total upwards of s25,O0o-

ham. It is expected that over 100000 out of town visitors from the outlying trade centers of Birmingham will be attracted here to witness the famous bird men and automobile drivers ands thef- }omobue . show. Over 100 neighboring d As within a radius of 100 miles of Birmis gham are going to be most effectively advertised and circularized.
 The change in dates, from April to thsi week of April 15 to 20, inclusive. will af- ford ample time to the automobile dealers to secure more cars for the automobile show and to also secure the services or noted drivers to participate in the, great races.
 The main thing now, state Birmingham booste is to put every shoulder to the wheel and dispose of the advance tickets
 in order that the many and muliifod de- tails of the business department of the meet may be set in motion.
