NOVEL LIGHTS
 ON SKYSCRAPER

Birmingham was treated to something new last night by the novel ilumina- ton of the American Trust building. This skyscraper is pure white and the commercial department of the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company is experimenting with some new lights. They are said to be the only lights Of the kind in the south, and can be used only in the illumination of white build ings.
 The lights are known as General Elec- tric projector floodlights. Pedestrians were at a loss last night to tell whence the light came that outlined the build ing so perfectly. A representative of the company stated last night that the lights were placed upon the top of the Smith building and the top of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company building. They are only tenn porary and were put up for experimental purposes. It is expected that they will be turned on the Jefferson Bank build- ine within the next day or two. These are the only two pure white skyscrapers in town upon which the novel illumina- ting effects can be secured

EXPLAINS ADVERTISING VALUE
 ID CORPORATIONS
Tells Ad Club of Good Work Frank Hammond Is Now Doing for
 Company

We intend to advertise in Birmingham for several years to come, placing our business before the community in such a way that they will know just about as much about it as we do." declared J. S. Pevear, president of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, be- fore the Birmingham Ad club at it's regu- lar weekly luncheon yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the private dining room of the Hotel Hillman.
 Mir Pevears subject was, Corporation Advertising" He explained that the be- ginning of corporation advertising was founded in the advertising of steam rail- roads. "The first steam railroad to adver- tise truths concerning it's business found itself in an embarrassing position" de- clared MT. Pevear, because people who were so inclined would take the truth they advertised and twist it to the disad- vantage of the company. Other com panies, however, followed, and finally cor pora tions began to see that 1t would be better for them to take the public into their confidence and obliterate the air of mystery with which they had surrounded themselves.
 Public utilities today are turning their minds to the question of education. Our company had about reached the point of starting an educational campaign when this municipal light bond issue came through, and we just started out cam paign of education with this. We have decided to take the people we serve into our confidence to the extent of giving foc ha " O. ing, why we are doing it, and how we are doing it.
 "Our greatest trouble. has been to find a man who could write the advertise ments in understandable langua ge-1an- guage which the average layman could grasp. We had many men who could write it from a technical standpoint, but we were appealing to people who knew nothing of the technical side or the mat ter and did not care anything about it. We finally located a young man in our office, Frank Hammond, whom doubtless most of you know. He had the technical knowl edge, and he also had the ability to tell the layman what the facts are with out burdening him with technical phrases. Credit for what we are now doing to give the people of Birmingham facts concern ing our business should pe gwen to MT. Hammond. He has the technical knowt- edge necessary to put these facts in un- derstandable form.
 This will be the trend of our advertis-
 ing for several years to come-placing our business before the community in such a way that they will know just about as much about it as we do.'
 The matter of the three bond issues fac ing the voters on June was brought up by Jerome K. Sterne, who suggested that the club shodd go on record favoring the auditorium bond issue. After some discussion, tne matter was put to a vote and the club placed itself on record as favoring the auditorium bond issue. President Holberg appointed a committee l of three to formulate a campaign in favor | of this bond issue. The committee is headed by Jerome K Sterne, who has as 1 associates R. F. Murphy and c. P LoranZ.

PRESIDENT GEORGE WARD MAKES VIGOROUS REPLY TO
 ATTACK OF LIQUOR INTEREST
Survey Article Arouses Ire of Commissioner Who Declares His Duty to Answer Calumnies Against City and States Recent Reunion Clearly Shows Excellent Effects
 of Prohibition-Liquor Interests
 Have Blundered

March and April, the average was 2IS. Therefore, my former statement that 200 was about normal is shown to be cor rect.
 MT. Rice says he doesn't believe pro- hibtion has anything to do with these jail figures. It seems to have much to do with them. for of the S1 prisoners in jail today 45 per cent, or nearly one-half, are charged with the following offenses: Thirtyfour violating prohibition law, three drunkenness.
 INACCURATE FIGURES
 'Mr. Rice's statement that twice as many packages are entering the city in other ways than through express and rail- road offices is entirely inaccurate be- cause the city has taken precaution against such traffic, and intercepts auto mobiles that are known through various sources of information to be headed to- wards Birmingham filled with liquor.
 Three days during the last week May Is, l1 and IS, the Confederate reunion was held in Birmingham. There were 5000 visitors in the city. The parade was six miles long and took three hours to pass a given point Yet, during the three days, not a single accident of any kind happened. either from automobiles, street cars railroads. Only nine drunk men were found in the city, out or the 240.go0 people handled. The police court handled on these three days AS cases of all kinds. There were no. fights and not a single unpleasant or disa agreeable feature attend ed the reunion. While this cannot be at. tributed entirely to prohibition, no man, can say that the absence of whisky did, not contribute to such a happy consum- nation.
 The above figures will indicate to the liquor interests that they have again made blunder in citing the city of Bir- mingham as example of the horrible effects of prohibition"
