report of the new street names for
the city of Birmingham will be made to
the city commission probably next Tues
day, stated City Engineer Kirkpatrick
YESTERDAY The engineering department of
the city has been working on this renam-
ing Of the streets for several months.
While the new names are expected to
create some confusion at first. they are
believed by the city officials to be very
good and will greatly facilitate proper
system of addresses for Greater Birming-
ham. 1t is well known now that in
Gree ter Birmingham there are many
streets of the same name and houses on
streets with the same name and same
number. This condition came about chief
ly through the Incorporation in Greater
Birmingham of several surburan towns
and has been very confusing at times
The new system is very simple. al
though in some instances it might be
considered radical The city will be di-
vided by two lines running north and
south anSl east and west. For instance
out about Broad street. it is said. the

BANQUET PLACES
IN HIGH DEMAND
Women and Children to Take Impor-
tant Part in Reception--Under-
wood May Speak, But Place
Is Not Announced

Women and children are expected to
take an important part in the parade
Friday noon at the Oscar Underwood
reception. Indications are that many
of them will participate and for that
reason the parade is expected to be one
of the most unique III the history of the
city.
Another feature is that there will be
no automobiles and carriages except
one or two. Everybody will walk. Peo-
pie in automobiles or vehicles of any
kind will be allowed to form in line
behind the parade, but they will not be
considered part of the parade proper.
Everything about the whole programme
of the Underwood reception is striking
ly democratic.

only from Birmingham and surround
ing communities. but from all parts OF
the state. Cities which are already
represented besides Birmingham in
clude Sheffield. Jasper Pell City, Tus-
cumbia, Fayette. Tuscaloosa, Montgom-

Secretary w. c. Radcliffe of the
Chamber of Commerce stated yesterday
that there seemed no doubt but what
the tickets would be hard to secure af-
ter today. There is room at the Hotel
Hillman banquet room, but for 400 peo-
pie and when 400 tickets have been sold
the lists will be closed.
1t should be remembered by all per-
sons desiring to attend the banquet
that no one is receiving invitations. The
banquet is given under the auspices of
the Birmingham Board of Trade be-
cause some such unpolitical organiza-
tion had to take the initiative in the
matter, but it is a public affair and the
tickets are being sold to the first 400
men who ask for them and send the
So which is the price of the plates. Out :
of-town requests for tickets are well
come.
Not Confined to Birmingham
President Shelby has stated that he
is sorry the impression got abroad that
the Underwood reception was to be a
Birmingham affair and wants it EN-
phasized that the Birmingham fellow
citizens of Underwood, Who by this re-
ception intend to pay the democratic
leader tribute for his work in the halls
of Congress, will gladly welcome the
