 TO BE CONTINUED

The free motion picture shows be- ing given each week by Henry F. Beaumont, a we'll known advertising man of this city, under the auspices of the city's playground associations. will be continued until the opening of the Alabama State Fair, it was announced yesterday.
 The schedule for the free shows in- cludes West End park next week, Behrens' park, Avondale, Lakeview, North Birmingham, Ensley and Ingle- nook, in the order named. Bessemer, West Park, Woodlawn and West End have already enjoyed the pictures a second week being given at West End owing to the pop uiarity of the programme rendered each night, which has been greeted by audiences averaging over a thou sand people each night for the past week.
 The shows, free to the public, are given for a full week in each park, three and four reels being run each | night, with a constantly changing pro- gramme of subjects.
 At each park the playground asso- | oiation in charge serves refreshments
 to the crowds attending the pictures,
 the profits from the privileges being
 devoted to the purchase of apparatus
 end other improvements for the chil- dren's recreation grounds. l Through the initiative of MT Beau
 mont Birmingham was the first city
 n the south to give free motion pie
 lures in the open air. a move which
 met with such widespread approval as
 to cause Nashville, Atlanta and Knox vile already to follow.

Separate county for Birmingham, in the belief of City Commissioner George Ward, looks like the best solution of the city's financial predicament.
 President Ward yesterday declined to commit himself to any one plan. He stated that when the legislature con vened he expected to cooperate with Birmingham representatives in that body and with citizens committees in arriving at solution of the financial problem of the city government of which he is the head. He refused to commit himself to any one scheme, but in making public data and drawings on the subject he stated that they (the data and drawings) looked as if a separate county was the best solution.
 Out of every dollar paid by the citi- zens of Birmingham, STA cents goes to the county and state and the city itself has 42 cents left for its own use. This is shown in an illustration made public yesterday by President Ward, and which is the work of City Comp troller Charles Ii. Abbott. MT. Abbott
