COMPANY PLANS TO
 ENLARGE BUSINESS
Sherwin- Williams Denies Report That Company Is to Retire From Bir-
 mingham as Distributing Point

The Sherwin- Williams company has perfected plans for the enlargement of its business conducted out of Bir- mingham, and in letter to General Secretary Radcliffe Of the Chamber of Commerce denial is made of the re- port that the company would remove from Birmingham. Largely through the efforts of Secretary Radcliffe. the com pany established it's warehouse here Tn 1912 and made this one of the chief distributing points,
 In a letter to Secretary Radcliffe, District Manager Cannon of the Sher- win Williams company says:
 T am sorry that any report gained circulation in Birmingham as to the effect that we were closing our busi- ness in your city and withdrawing from the field for such is apsOluteIS not the case, but on the contrary we have perfected plans for continuing and enlarging our business out of Bir mingham.
 .'The report doubtless gained cur rency through the fact that we have subleased the building we have for merly occupied, due to its lack of cen tral location. We have leased commo : dious quarters on Fourth avenue be- tween Twentieth and Twenty first streets, where we will not only con- duct wholesale business. but a retail store as well.
 "We believe implicitly in the future growth and greatness of Birmingham, and you may rest assured that the Sherwin- Williams organization will continue being Birmingham boosters

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Birth of a Nation

There are other features about The Birth of a Nation," which make it grateful to the person who goes to see 1t besides the wonderr',l human interest inculcated in the unfolding of the story, and the magnificent scr.., ctacl-- that rmaze--it is in the projec.'c.l of the picture. 'The Birth of Nation film probably in addition to being q record maker in other respects in the film world. is the best protected film ever made. The picture lasts almost three hours, with only a 10minute rest but so perfect is. the mechanism that those with eyes that are most suscep- tible to strain need not fear to at tend in anticipation of headache. To begin with, the reel is turned not by hand but by electric motors, and there is not a flicker in the entire three hours. The film is not out of focus for an instant, and in changing reels there is no break to interrupt the story. This is done by means of double set of films. There are two machines with two motors and two operators in the little room at the back of the theatre. which. incidentally. is of steel, and ab- solutely fireproof. When one reel is completed on one machine the other picks it up and the audience never knows when the end of a reel is reached.

PLAY PRESENTED
 AT HIGH SCHOOL
Seventh Grades of Grammar Schools See Prince and Pauper," Given
 by Students

To a crowd that filled the High school auditorium to it's utmost capacity, the Dramatic club of the Central High school presented Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper' yesterday after noon. The play, given in compliment to the pupils of the grammar schools. is delightful modern fairy tale. It was dramatized by Miss Marguerite V Weaver, head of the expression depart ment of the Central High school
 The audience, composed of children in the seventh grades of the grammar schools, was very appreciative, and gave close attention throughout it's presenta- tion.
 The twin" stars of the play were Miss Margaret Levin and Miss Margaret Likes, who took the parts of the prince and the pauper. Miss Levin's impersona- tion of the part of the prince and later that of the pauper was excellent Her articulation was clear and she read her lines well throughout the play. n the :ast act Miss Likes work was far above the average. Her general bearing and acting far surpassed that of an anna teur. In the part of Miles Herndon Hofford Todd was the best of the male leads. There was nothing amateurish about his acting, and his work vas very creditable

DR. M'KEEN IS HERE ON RESEARCH VISIT Speaks at High School To- day and Will Be Rotary
 Guest at Lunch

On a visit of investigation and research regarding the industrial, social and edu- cational conditions of the Birmingham district. pr Harry R. McKeen of Wash ington field secretary of the Southern Conference for Education and Industry will speak at the Central High schooi this morning at 1O:30 o'clock and also at the Rotary club luncheon at l o'clock. Dr. McKeen will be in the city until fri- day.
 Yesterday Dr. McKeen visited in Ems lev and spoke at the Ensley High school. He stated last night to an Age-Herald reporter that his present vlslt to BIT mingham was purely one of investigation and one in which he would make tenta- tive moves toward stimulating a stronger cooperative spirit between the aSrlcul- tural sections and the cities.
 T am present in Birmignham at this time" said Dr. Mex cen, Ito represent the Southern Conference for Education and Industry. and that the conference is working for the development of the south land is well known.
 '.The rural districts are being neglected on all sides of life, educationally, nor ally, civically, socially and industriaIy, and it is useless to start working i'll the rural districts Jarousing more co-opera- tive spirit with the cities unless that movement is first started by the munlcl palities. And that is why l am in Bir- mngtam-to assist in the promulgation of a movement to get in closer touch with the rural clement. An instance of what will be gained by such movement is readily seen when I state that the B1r- mingham merchants are not doing the business they ought to do because of the fact that the people in the surrounding country districts have not been taught conditions and therefore are unprepared to make the demand the big depart ment stores of the city that they would make if their present industrial, social and educational conditions were relieved.
 '"The first plan to be worked out is for a group of men and women to go to the country places with the messages and offers to help the people remedy their conditions. We must get the mothers, teachers men, boys and girls to realize the advantage of improving the existing conditions amongst all classes.
 On Friday pr. McKeen will visit Mon- tevallo and will continue south to Mont gomery. Dr. McKeen will make 8 report of the result of his months of investiga- tion and research into the industrial. so- cial and educational conditions of the southland at the annual convention of the Southern Conference for Education and Industry in New Orleans, April 16 to 20 inclusive
