in Large Quantities

The department of city purchasing
agent was created yesterday by the city
commission and r. N Griffin, who for
some time has been acting as purehas-
ing agent for the city under the su-
pervision of the street department, will
probably be made official purchasing
agent
The new branch of the city govern
ment is a result of the rapid growth
of the city. In conenction with the de-
partment under one official head there
Is now being constructed large con-
crete warehouse on the Southside city
Jail lot in which will be stored large
quantities. of supplies for all of the diff
ferent city apartments This warehouse
is to cost when finished about $4,000.
An official warehouseman and a
corps of assistants will be employed
and the city will buy supplies in the
future in wholesale quantities instead
of retail lots. The purchasing agent
operates under the direction of the
city comptroller and is held responsible
directly to the city commission. The
new arrangement will admit of more

COMPLAINT MADE OF
EAST LAKE HOUSE
L. J. Cox Claims II Is Nuisance and
Asks Commission to Revoke License
Under Which 1t Operates

l.. j. Cox of East Lake made an elo-
ouent plea before the city commission
yesterday when he asked for relief from
an alleged nuisance which he states is
being maintained in the East Lake neigh
borhood. He ruffled Commissioner Lane
a little during the discussion of the prop
osltion by statements which rather threw
discredit on the police department.
According to Mr.. Cox's statements a
residence at First avenue and Eighty
second street Is a nuisance. He made
very serious charges against the place
and asked the city revoke it's license.
This Attorney Ullman said could not be
done. After long arguments 1t was de-
cided the matter be referred to the city
attorneys office to decide upon the best
legal move to relieve the situation.
During the discussion Mr. Cox stated
several times that while the police of
the East Lake neighborhood did not ex-
actly wink the violation in question,
at the same time they did not lend their
Influence toward improving the situation.
Judge Lane stated that If Mr. Cox would
show evidence to prove his statements
the police in question would be imme-
diately discharged.

GRAND JURY AFTER
AUTO V|O[ATORS
Suburban Residents Tell of
Escapades Which Arouse
Intense Indignation

That joy riders are to suffer badly from
the grand jury probe is generally
whispered among automobile drivers of
Birmingham. Although nothing has been
disclosed, it is understood that represen-
tatives have been made to the grand Jury
about joy riders conduct that has created
the most intense indignation among the
probers.
Tales of disregard of the proprietes by
automobilists and their companions have
been told the grand jury by indignant
suburban residents. The stories that have
been told according to the general idea
were sufficient to cause a shudder of hor-
ror to flush the grand jurymen, and they
are determined to do their part toward
stopping such law violators The stories
that have been related about nocturnal
revelries on various pixies of this county
have also caused the jurymen to become
indignant, and they are not willing to
allow the offenses to pass unexplained
The chances are. according to whispers
heard. that many indictments will be
found

MUNGER Of DALLAS
DISCUSSES CROPS
Texas Gin Man Says Embar-
rassment Has Resulted
From McAdOO's Plan

Stephen Munger, president OF the
continental Gin company with offices in
Dallas, Tex, is in Birmingham looking
over the local properties of the COM
pany. Mr.. Munger, who is a brother of
r. S. Munger of Birmin CHAM. visits
the local offices frequently, keeping in
touch with the company's affairs. Mr..
Munger said yesterday that although
the cotton crop is apparently 10000
bales short at thistime. he believes the
loss will not have any very injurious
effect on business generally. His com.
pany depends upon the prosperity OF
crop conditions. Mr.. Munger said the
cotton quotations now are about $40 per
bale higher than last year and that the
higher price would tend to keep the
general situation UP.
I'VE have no new work planned for
given out at this time' said Mr Mum
ger However, we may have something
along that line within a short time.
Business is very good and we are as
a general proposition we'll pleased with
the situation. The small cotton crop
will have its effect generally but
am not inclined to think that any great
injury will be sustained by the short
crop.
"The plan of the government to re-
lieve the cotton crop or finance it in
the south was not the best thing that
could have been done unless the United
States had turned loose greater
amount of money. AS it is the short
money given the various southern
bankers from what am told has served
to embarrass them considera bly, The
small bankers who were accustomed to
be carried by the city bank seeing that
their bankers had large amounts of
money as they surmsed, made demands
that resulted in refusals and in that
way a general embarrassing misun-
derstanding arose. However, ! think
Secretary McAdoo served notice on the
Wall street crowd that he intended 10
see that the moneyed interest were fair
at least for a time.
Although some little embarrassment
may have come about in this way the
general situation has become better and
things look very encouraging. In Texas
there is the best feeling and the idea
seems to be general that the pros
perity of the country has not been
greatly disturbed. Birmin CHAM looks
better now than ever before and l am
glad to see that The growth of Bir-
mingham has certainly been phenom-
email and | am interested in the general
result"
Mr.. Munger will be here several days
before returning to Dallas. He has been
east for several days and is passing
through here en- route to Dallas.

SCHOOL BOND VOTE
MONDAY MISSED BY
VERY CLOSE SHAVE
Weatherly's Resolution to
Submit Half Million Issue
Is Opposed by Lane
EXUM ABSENT AND
VOTE NOT RECORDED
Lane Explains That He Opposes 1t or
Ground Than Money Is to Be
Spent Solely on High
Schools

An attempt to put a $500, 600 school
bond issue before the voters at the
municipal election next Monday failed
at the city commission meeting yes
terday 1t is stated that the matter
cannot be brought up again as there
would not be time enough to advertise
it according to law.
The absence from the city of Presi-
dent c. Exum and the negative vote Of
Comm ssioner a. o. Lane defeated the
resolution offered by Commissioner
Weathery. The resolution called for
$500, 900 bond issue election at the
regular municipal election next Mon
day the money to be used for tho
erection of two high school buildings,
| one in the eastern section of the city
and the other in the south central Sec
tion of the city.
! IF there is anything that is fad
with me-" said Judge Lane in offering
his vote against the resolution, ut is
better and bigger schools; but l vote
against this proposed bond issue cleo
tion because it limits the use of the
money to two high schools. There are
| many other sections Of the city that
are as badly in need of Improvements
as the sections mentioned and this
money could not be used for their re-
lief Therefore l vote no
! After the meeting Judge Lane was
ask ed II what he had said meant that
he would favor a school bond issue IL
the resolution did not stipulate that
| the money be used in certain sec
| tions or not that it be used for high
schools Il would favor that kind of n
bond Issue election lie said. Elf IL was
! Of the right size and was brought up
at the proper time" He repeated, how
ever, that he had voted against tho
resolution Just defeated because it did
not provide for the elementary schools
as well as the high school.
| Commissioner Weatherlv stated he
| had offered the resolution following
agitation in the eastern section of tha
| city for a high school and that namer-
| Gus citizens and delegations had been
| to see him on the matter. Commissions
er Exum's position on the question had
he been here is not known. City super

| In conference with both the commits

The resolution offered by Mr.. Wealth

heretofore made any comment on the

ried yesterday. it would have consid-
ersbly hurt the auditorium bond issue

To Make Child Truthful

In the February Woman's Home
Companion appears. in the "House-
hold Problem" Department. the fol
lowing letter from a subscriber:
"My little Marie, years old. tells
me remarkable stories which are evi-
IDENTIFY untrue. How shall teach her
the difference between truth and false
huUd?"
The editor of the department makes
the following answer
"Thc line between truth ana false
hood is not an obvious one at all times
when people are 80, and a child of )
should be pardoned if She does not
see ii plainly. Little children live in
wonder world. They have vivid i'm
aginati"ns. Half The time they are
dwelling in a fairy story. Pay no al
tcntion TO extraordinary statements
made by Marie. if they have nothing TO
do with ill temper or nau"hliness. The
way to make child truthful is al
ways to speak the truth to the child.
Added to lhIS. il is we'll never III
doubt child. but to accept Whatever
the child may tell You a. perfectly
true. y child should not know that
there is such thing as a lie in tn
