CHAMBER DIRECTORS
 TO MEET MONDAY

The directors of the Chamber of Com merce will meet in the directors rooms at the chamber Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. The meeting was called by President Bush for the consideration of a number of important matters The report of the committee recently ap- pointed to investigate certain freight rates will be made at this meeting. R. A. Porter is chairman of the committee It is expected also that the railroad and transportation division of the busi- ness council, which sometime ago voted to recommend to the chamber the establishment of traffic department with competent freight rate expert in charge, will be made at this meeting.
 The question of ths grain rates from Sheffield and Riverton to Birmingham has been investigated by the committee. who heard arguments and reports from the grain dealers and the railroads. The present rate on grain from those points to Birmingham is 16 cents. Some time ago the railroads agreed to make a reduction to 10 cents on all grain which originated in the state of Alabama, but this was not satisfactory to the grain dealers. Considerable interest has been manifested in the matter by local wholesalers, grain dealers and the rail- roads affected.

VOLCANO WAS ONCE
 ACTIVE IN TEXAS
Says Geologist-Interesting Data on South's Greatest
 Phenomenon, Vitalitas

One of the most interesting subjects of scientific research that geologists have ever had to work upon in Texas is the Vitalitas deposit found upon a small tract of rugged ground. So far as known such phenomenon does not exist elsewhere on earth. This is the report one scientist has made regard ing the deposit;
 "Vitalitas is the remains of a cer- tain moulton lava or conglomerated mass that was melted in the bowels of the earth by the terrific internal fires It was spouted up through seams and crevices of rocks and poured from the crater of an active volcano that existed millions of years ago. This mass gradually solidified and the re- suit is the peculiar substance called Vitalitas"
 So much is theory. But there is no theorizing regarding the energized liquid that is extracted from this vol oanic lava. It is rich in a remarkable combination of mineral chemicals and forces of nature. No one of the earth s natural mineral waters can compare with it. in tonic and corrective effects. It assists in driving from the system such disorders as indigestion, bilious ness, catarrh. rheumatism, kidney, liver and blood ills. It is pleasant to take and a teaspoonful in a half glass ot hot or cold water is the adult dose. For sale by Averyt's drug store, 1o9- H. 20th st., and all other druggists. Adv

POWERS
 REJECT PROPOSAL

Washington, March 24.-All of the en- tente powers through their embassies here have handed to Secretary Lansing formal responses rejecting the state de- partments proposal that they enter into modus vivendi and disarm merchant ships. with the understanding that the United States would endeavor to get from the centra, powers pledge not to attack any such unarmed ship with out warning and without providing for the safety of the passengers and crew.
 Soon after the proposition was preached officials of the entente pow CTS indicated their decided opposition. It was generally believed here that this unanimous expression of disapproval in- spired the German goverpment to pro mitigate the new order which is now in force, for attacks without warning by submarine commanders upon any armed beligerent merchant man.
 While Secretary Lansing said today he had not had an opportunity to con- sider the replies. it is known that, though based upon different lines of reasoning. each of the entente powers has declined the proposal. The nature of the objections was indicated in the unofficial statements of various off cials, when the American memorandum was submitted.

properly, they were first taken into the Marlborough's grill, where there is large and none too slothful cabaret. At first dubious, they became thoroughly interest ed after having imbibed two olives and maraschino cherry, and were in for any thing. Leaving the hotel, they were guided up Broadway in the direction Of the Cafe Boulevard. where it is just shade jollier, and where it is never neces- sary to eat (except on Sunday) along with ones less solid refreshment. Here they dallied but a brief while. wanting more. always more, amusement The Garden the PelSin. Bustanobys, Rector's ballroom de luxe were visited, and then the Mid night Follies. which Ziegfeld is offering atop the New Amsterdam theatre.
 They went to bed (no. retire" isn't the word in this instance) at their hotel a good many minutes before sunrise. at that, and their guide left them for a few hours. Before noon on the following day he called for them again, and an- nounced that he was then ready to take them uptown and show them the speed way.
 One of the visitors simply groaned and rolled over on his face in bed. The other however, got both eyes on the caller. and after a good, long look at him, remarked:
 Speedway? And you mean to tell me that you have something faster yet-faster than the pace we were going last night and this morning? Well. my friend you go to it alone, but if you can deny your self the pleasure for one day we would greatly appreciate it if you would take us out after about another two hours and let us look at some of the relics.'

New York, March 24-(Special.) )-Speak- ing of speedways-we were just laying for Solon Jacobs and those Birmingham motor speedway fellows who honored Manhattan with flying visit after they cleaned up in Indianapolis, Chicago and few other small settlements.
 And that recalls little talelet about two Alabamians-don't even dare to men tion the town-who came here for visit not so very, very long ago:
 They came on one of those business. trips that bring so many to New York city and which have made me wonder how on earth these southerners can be called slow. Transact business quickly? Why all the time most of them ask for Is about 10 minutes before breakfast in which to get through with all their business mat ters, after which they are at the dis posal of the pleasure seekers until time to transact business at the same hour the next morning. Their business-er-agilit really awakens admiration.
 However. to the story: these two male Alabamians were shot up out of the Hud- son tubes just before twilight one beauti- ful afternoon, and immediately proclaimed themselves on the hunt for metropolitan diversion. After locating at the Marl- borough -Blenheim they rented two (by the way, whenever you come up here. no matter what kind of trip it is, or for how long, bring along the full evening" outfiD. as we were saying, after dolling up

 ABOUT ADVERTISING.
 Generally speaking, the difference between full theatre and an empty theatre is the difference between good advertising and bad advertising-or none at all-all other things being equal, such as the quality of the plays, the prices of admission and the location.
 Many exhibitors of motion pictures have fought shy of advertising, for oHc lcdooil dHOlleT. SOIno nave felt they could not afford it, when as a matter of fact they couldn't af- ford not to. Others have felt that they didn't know just how to plead for patronage, and with such an idea in mind it is just as well that they did not advertise. Right advertising is not pleading for anybodys money or patronage; it is an offer of equit- able exchange. i've got some good entertainment that you need. Give me your money and I'll give you in ex- change some of my entertainment, and there's no favor conferred by either of us that the other fellow does not share in.'' This should be the attitude of all progressive motion picture theatre owners.
