Birmingham's representation for the
Morris w. Bush, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, will leave Birmingham
Tuesday morning at 6:35 o'clock over the
Alabama Great Southern railway for
Washington. The committee will go di-
rect to the national capitol to present
Birmingham's claims for the location of
this plant
A brief consisting of 20 printed pages
outlining Birminghams advantages and
the reasons why this is the most econon-
ical site for locating this plant. will
be presented Secretary Josepheus Daniels
and the navy board. 1t is quite probable
that the board will allow brief oral ex-
plantations also, and members of the COM
mittee are preparing themselves to make
strong fight.
Members of the Birmingham committee,
when seen yesterday, were optimistic over
Birmingham's prospects, stating that the
brief they had outlined would present
the data in such a manner that the
possibilities of this section could not be
overlooked.
In preparing the brief they have en-
deavored to show that Birmingham is the
most economical point for the plant. The
inland location, protecting the plant from
destruction by the enemy in the event
of invasion, is thoroughly gone into
and stressed. The advantages accruing
from the location of the plant in the
midst of such an inexhaustible supply of
raw material as the Birmingham dis
trict is known to contain. is also handled

JUDSON PRESIDENT
TO PREACH TODAY AT
SOUTHSIDE BAPTIST
DR.. Bomar Says Prospects Fine for
the Noted College for
Women

Dr. Paul V. Bomar of Marion, presi-
dent of Judson college. will occupy
the pulpit at the Southside Baptist
church this morning at IL o'clock. DR..
Bomar is considered one of the abIest
preachers and educators of the south,
and large congregation will doubt
less be present to hear him.
"Judson opens September 20, and
the outlook is exceedingly bright"
said Dr. Bomar last night. I'VE are
opening just little later this year
than formerly on account of many ex-
tensive repairs which have been made
at the college The physical properties
Of our institution, which ranks with
the best in the south, will be much
better this year than in the past.
"A special train for the convenience
of the Judson girls will be operated
over the Southern railway from Selma
to Marion and it is probable that ex-
ira coaches for their convenience will
be arranged from several other cities
from which many of our Students will
come.
1.-The reservations already made in
dictate probably the most successful
year in our history. You know Judson
is one of the oldest colleges for WON
Ell in the world, and since we have
shown a constant development and en-
largement from the beginning you may
Infer from the statement 1 have made
that we are encouraged over the sit
uation."

MORE HOMES AND LESS
GASOLINE, OUR NEED

The consumption of a little less gaso-
line and the purchase of fewer auto
mobiles by people who can i'll afford
them would be a highly desirable
achievement from an economic stand
point, in the opinion of W. d. Wood,
president of the w. D. Wood Lumber
company.
The automobile 10 a luxury and a
drain upon the resources Of the COM
munity. The property value of an au-
tomobile is more or less evanescent
and as a security for a financial trans
action Is of little or no value.
In a statement yesterday in which
he contrasts the money spent for auto
mobiles with the results which would
come from investments in homes and
property, Mr.. Wood says
when 1t Is deemed of sufficient i'm
portance to have a government official
visit Birmingham to investigate the
price of gasoline, something that is

about building material, an actual ne

lutte truth.
