COMMITTEE ID GO

Will Represent Interests of City at Dixie Highway
 Meeting

It is probable that a committee repre- serting Birmingham will be sent to Chat tanooga April 3. next Saturday. where a meeting is to be held to decide a route for the proposed Dixie highway from Chi- cago to Miami.
 At meeting at the city hall yesterday l. A. 1ourg. an expert highway engineer from Philadelphia, who has spent much tinie in studying the proposed highway, briefly addressed the gathering, stating that he came to Birmingham for the pur- pose of interesting this city in the pro- posed highway as it would mean much publicity and many tourists from the north coming thrSugh the city.
 A committee was appointed by the pre- siding officer John W. oNeili. consisting Of Maj. Frederick H. Lewis. chairman; Hugh McGeever, George Clark. Asa Roun- tree and Robert l.. Totten, to call upon the city and county authorities and the tatives to Chattanooga to represent the interests of this city. A meeting of the good roads committee of the chamber. H. M. Beck, chairman. has been called for tomorrow morning at Il o'clock to con- slider this proposition.
 Speeches were made at the meeting yes- terday by Major Lewis. well-known civil engineer and cement man; Hugh Me- Geever, member of the board of revenue; George Clark. county engineer; Asa Roun- tree, Robert Totten and others.
 It was stated by all that this was mat ter of great importance to Birmingham 'and Alabama. The suggestion was made by Major Lewis that if the organizers of the movement were determined to make route from Chattanooga to Atlanta, ohat an Alabama division of the highway could be made to come from Chattanooga to Birmingham, and on south to New or leans or to Tampa, as desired He stated that this was the plan followed in the great Lincoln highway of the north from New York to San Francisco, there being two routes q large part of the way, tour ists being able to take their choice or go one way ana come back the other. This suggestion received much commen- dation from other speakers.
 The speakers stated that there was not doubt but tlat an effort had been made to eliminate Alabama and Birmingham from consideration in the routing of the highway. but expressed determination to let 1t be known we are still on the map"

 name Anyhow, after studying until late in the night last winter Harold decided to have bath before retiring. The fam fly all were in bed. In about an hour his mother began to wonder what had hap pened to the boy. It was known that he had started to take a bath, but he had never passed down the hall on the way to his room. Dad got up to investigate. He called at the bathroom door, which was locked, and received no answer. After a few minutes calling he secured the ax and called again. He had the ak poised for blow against the door, when Harold drowsily asked, "Whatzzamat- ter?'' He had dropped asleep in the tub.
 Two or three years ago Harold wanted a catcher's init. His father would not buy it, but told him he would give him 10 per cent on his collections. The boy agreed to collect some bills on that basis.
