WORKING ON STREET ID BASEBALL PARK Will Be Ready When the Season Opens-May
 Buy Scarifier

''The baseball park boulevard will be a member of the city commission yester- day. A new scarifer is now at work on the street and the commissioners are negotiating on purchase of the ma chine.
 "A large engine is used to draw the machine over the road, however, said Commissioner Weatheriy yesterday, and that engine is very expensive. l have been trying to figure some way by which We could purchase the scarifer itself and rig up something of our own to pull 1t. The city has a traction engine that is a few years old, and I have asked the engineering department for recommen- dation regarding it. for I believe it can be repaired and would pull the scarifer.
 ''If this is done. we will purchase the scarifier, and then we will have a ma chine that is not costly and which we can use to keep all of our chert streets in good repair. The scarher Is simple in its operation. IL scratches up the sur face of the chert road thoroughly, mal<- Ing the top covering loose, and when followed by a drag the street Is put in perfect condition, free of ruts and holes
 Tn regard to the new pavement-the Finley method of applying u tar prepa- ration for a top dressing-I think we will soon be ready to announce whether or not the city will use 1t as the engineers are examining 1t now. At least we are going to make some experiments on a block two ia order to see exactly what the pavement will do"

ID DECIDE SOON ON
 MUSIC FESTIVAL
Will Be Definitely Settled Whether One Will Be
 Attempted or Not

It will be definitely decided within the next few days whether or not Birming- ham is to have a music festival this oughly organized. and a select body of singers, numbering TO voices, is learning Paradise Lost" a beautiful oratorio. with view to giving it as a festival performance.
 The St. Louis Symphony orchestra can he secured for a festival here the dates which it has offered being May and '. No other orchestra is available, but the St. Louis organization is one of the fore most in this country.
 The Birmingham Musical association. which Is being organized on a permanent basis, has for its treasurer Col. T. o. smith, vice president of the Blrming- ham Trust and Savings bank. Anyone desiring to assist the festival enterprise by subscribing to one or more shares of the stock in the association will find Colonel Smith ready to receive the money. Secretary James H. Hard said yester- day:
 The music lovers of Birmingham, it is
 
 of hearing some of the best chorus work ever attempted in Birmingham when the combined clubs, The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company of Ensley, which is training under the direction of Prof. Stephen Allsopp the Arion, Treble Clef and Music Study chorus, under Rienzi Thomas, are brought together in the musical festival in the rendition of Para disc Lost, with an orchestra of g pieces and four noted soloists.
 'The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rnil- road company male chorus is said to be particularly fine, as under the slSlllful dictatorship of Professor Allsopp 1t has attained a high degree of excellence and the other clubs are fortunate in having secured the consent of this organization to assist in the festival. Professor, All sopp is well known to Birmingham audi onces, and it goes without saying that the chorus under his direction will do fully their share of the work"

FASHION WEEKS EFFECTS STILL
 BEING FELT HERE
Unusual Volume of Business Last Week Attributed to Impetus Then Given
 Business
BY ELLIS C. HoLLuMs

1t was roughly estimated yesterday by Secretary Sam Fowlkes of the Business Mems League that the rebate coupon books received at that office this week will be close upon the record breaking number of Fashion Week. Secretary Fowlkes says accurate figures are not that when the totals are computed it will not be very far behind the huge totals of Fashion Week, which was con oeded to be the best week in years.
 The activity in the rebate department of the Business Mems League this week, however. really belongs to the week of fashion. Much of the relating was done by mail, Fashion Week shoppers send ing back their coupon books, which they have the privilege to do within 10 days.
 In actual figures, it is estimated that the business done last week. as evidenced by the fares rebated to out-of-town shop pers, was upwards of $1o0,000, and the estimate for those out-of-town shoppers who failed to take advantage of the fare rebate privilege is upwards of S25,0o0. The local shoppers are conservatiVely esti- mated at between Sa5,O00 and $50, 900, which gives total of over S200,000 worth of merchandise sold in Birmingham last N eek
 There were hundreds of visitors to the city last week, who came merely for the purpose of shopping. They came as n direct result of the publicity given Fash ion Week, for many people decided it would be better to wait until Fashion Week was over to do their spring shop ping, thinking the stores would not be so crowded, with sight-seers Instead of the buying public In other words, the impression was given the Fashion Week was for the purpose of showing what the merchants had to sell. and the public generally called to inspect rather than to buy.
 Fashion Week gave needed impetus to business. It is believed that there will be steady stream of shoppers in Birmingham from now until Easter. Be- fore Fashion Week things were d,N. The merchants were trying to sell their win ter stocks; Fashion Week came with the attendant new spring displays. The feminine element came to see and were conquered The annual spring rush oe- gan, and it bids fair to continue with un- abated vigor until Easter.
 So it will be at each succeeding Fashion Week. the merchants believe, and for that reason Fashion Week next year will be on a scale never yet attempted in the south The decorations of the streets and the show windows will be on a scale even more magnificent than they were week before last The merchants will be lavish with their money, because Fash ion Week is not now an experiment. It Is an unqualified success; it has received the indorsement of the buying public and the merchants are more than delighted with the result of venture into hitherto untried fields of endeavor to secure busi- ness in the spring.
 The annual Fashion Week will, Inside 4f forward to with as much eagerness as Is the annual State Fair. And if 1t brings visitors in proportionate increase of num- bers each year, it will soon be a much larger event than the fair, from a busi- ness point of view.
