 The Chamber of Commerce is especially anxious to impress on the highway path finders that Birmingham wants the Jack son highway and is working for it. At
 
 are wanted to make the trip to Calera Monday.
 T. H. Motion issued the following call to the people to rally to the support of the civic chamber yesterday.
 At meeting yesterday it was unani- mously agreed that the most important thing to do now is to properly impress these pathfinders with the attractions offered along the proposed Alabama route. We feel that if we can convince this com- mittee that we are in dead earnest about wanting this Jackson highway and that We have a better route in the way of good roads, beautiful scenery, interesting cities, where first-class accommodations are to be had by the tourists. we will have practically won the fight.
 Tt was agreed at the meeting on yes terday that the most important thing for Birmingham to do to properly i'm press the pathfinders is to meet them with several hundred automobiles at Calera and escort them back to Birming- ham.
 ''The meeting appointed the undersigned as chairman of a committee to see that a large number of automobiles go to Calera, leaving Birmingham about g o'clock in the morning, making the run on that magnificent road, reaching Ca lera at 10:S0 and there line up with our several hundred automobiles with waving flags flying banners and band of music, and thus impress the pathfinders that they are welcomed to city which will stand responsible for the completion of all the roads along the route.
 .'I feel that all that is necessary Is for the owners of our automobiles, every one of which is interested in the upbuild- ing of Birmingham o only understand the great importance of their turning out on this occasion. and most respectfully ask the assistance and cooperation of Birmingham newspapers to interest our automobile owners to go on this trip leaving here as above stated about g o'clock Monday morning, make the run to Calera and back not later than 1 o'clock. And we would have it under stood that 1t will be no less than a pleas ont frolic and the ladies and children | can add enthusiasm as much or more so than the men. hence we would insist that the ladies take an interest in this subject and let them each and all turn out and make such showing as Birming- ham is capable of making.
