PLAN ID REFLECT BUSH PRESIDENT No Formal Action Has Yet
 Been Made YEAR OF GOOD WORK Chamber Out of Debt and in Posi- ton to Do Some Really
 Constructive Work in
 Future
YEAR OF GOOD WORK

Morris W. Bush will. it is under- stood, be asked to serve another year as president of the Chamber of Com merce. While MT. Bush has not said whether he will accept the office again should it be rendered him, he has not said that he will refuse it.
 T can't discuss the question al this premature stage" he said.
 Although the nominating committee of the Chamber of Commerce. which held its initial meeting yesterday aft ernoon, said following the meeting that no names had been mentioned as prospective candidates, several of the committee are known to be in favor of the reelection of Mir. Bush and have so expressed themselves outside of the meeting.
 B. R, Pegram of Ensley was elect ed chairman of the committee and Carl Milan, secretary, yesterday. A second meeting will be held Friday afternoon, when first steps toward preparing the ticket for the annual election in January will be taken.
 Many reasons are advanced by cer- tain members of the committee for the reelection of MT. Bush. In spite of the fact that a president is sell dom reelected to serve a second term, there are those who think an excep- tion should be made in the case of MT. Bush. provided he will accept it.
 It is pointed out that during the administration of MT. Bush the Cham Der of Commerce has been able to do only a small per cent of the com structive work that it would have been able to do under normal conditions. The first of the year will find the body out of debt. large deficit having been paid off during the administra- tion of MT. Bush.
 It is claimed by members of the committee that inasmuch as Mir. Bush has pulled the Chamber of Commerce out of the hole and now has it on a sound and constructive basis, he should be allowed the privilege of second term, during which he might be able to reap for Birmingham and tho Chamber of Commerce the bene- fits of the work he has done during the past year

 As chairman of the Muscle Shoals association, I take great pleasure in expressing the thanks and gratitude of this association to you for the very energetic and positive manner in which The Age-Herald brought so acutely to the attention of your people-not only the great value that would accrue to Alabama from the location of the ni- trate plant at Muscle Shoals-but also for calling so sharply to the atten- tion of your readers the lack of in- terest that was being manifested in this great enterprise Yours very truly, A.

 Lock IT

The holders of land that suffered from the slack waters near Lock F will re- ceive suitable indemnity from the gov ernment, if the bill that Representative George Huddleston will introduce befor Congress is passed.
 The settlements that were made by th1 government for the damage that thl overflow water did to the land of the owners in that community were unsat- isfactory, according to MT. Huddleston. He will propose that a national forest reserve and sporting park be created on this territory and will thereby buy up this land.

my own prosperity and welfare and that of my fellow beings.
 I should be thankful that before me stretches another year in which I may apply the God-given forces within me toward mightier, a better and a more dignified condition of ex- istence. And l should be thankful that through the years that have passed me by I have been brought to realize that life is life. only when lived in a spirit of service to some supreme being, and to our fellow men, who, even though they be condemned of man, and summed by society, are deserving, and in a great degree
 So, even though the past year has not been remunerative one from a monetary standpoint; and even though the months that have elapsed since last Thanksgiving Day have been fraught with material suffering and the overcoming of countless barriers; still, we should all be duly grateful that there is born within us a little spark of something, which with age and understanding develops into an illuminated desire for higher knowl- edge, which knowledge only makes for happiness

Hoped to Utilize Products Grown Here and En-
 courage Their Use
BUSH IS STRONGLY
 URGING THE SCHEME
Thinks it Long Step in, Achievement of What Has Been Sought for Years-"Home
 Sustenance'

A cannery, to be located in Birmingham of the district is being planned by the Chamber of Commerce. By the location of the cannery here, it is estimated that at least 20 per cent of the Alabama crop, which goes into the eannery dumps Tn eastern and other markets may be used right in the district in which 1t is grown.
 A special committee will be appointed by Mir Bush to handle the situation, and to put it before the producers of the district with a view to getting them to take stock in it. Acting General Man compiling data on the matter for some time, and now has in hand sufficient in- formation to put into the hands of the committee which will have the question in charge.
 SUBSCRIBE MONEY LOCALLY
 It is estimated that $1O,O0O will be suf- ficient for the initial cost of the cannery, handling and first distribution. This amount is to be subscribed locally and among the farmers.
 T think this is one of the biggest ques- tions that has come before Birmingham in sometime" said President Morris w. Bush, land there is much enthusiasm I believe that there will be no trouble
 in getting the stock subscribed when t is realized what a cannery will mean 70 this district.
 ''In the first place, it will do more to
 stimulate interest in diversified farm ing than anything that has been done to date. In the second place, 1t will be in- surance to the farmer who does truck farming
 "As conditions now are, our farmers, when they are a little late with their products are compelled to send them east and have them dumped" for canneries in those districts If they knew that late crops, or surplus crops could be disposed of right in Birmingham for canning pur- poses they would not hesitate to devote time, work and money to diversified farming"
 HANDLE ALL PRODUCTS The cannery which it is to be located here will be equipped to handle all prod ucts grown in this section, which are good for canning. It is estimated that there is very little difference in the ex- pense for equipping a cannery for one product, and equpping it for many prod ucts.
 The committee, which will be ap- pointed at an early date, will, it is under- stood be composed of men who are espe- cially interested in the question of diver sified farming in Alabama, as well as local conditions.
 Not only will the eannery give local market for many products which are now sent away, but the canned goods will be distributed locally, and we shall have accomplished in degree what we have been working for for years, home sus- tenance," said President Bush.

Indignation Expressed Both By Theatre Managers
 and the Public
WARD SAYS HE WILL
 VETO TT IN MINUTE
Truss Says We Already Have Too Many Laws and That He Will Vote a
 Loud "No"
By ALLEN J. KREBs. JR.

The city is stirred over the news of the miving picture ordinance that was presented to the commissioners by Arlie Barber at Tuesdays meeting.
 Small groups of citizens stood on the street corners and gave vent to their feelings over the absurdity of the pro- posed motion picture and amusement or- dinance.
 Cimmissiiner Ward, who has hitherto refrained from using his veto power, has finally decide to try it out.
 "As the ordinance stands now, I will veto it just one minute after it reaches my desk,' he said
 Commissioner Truss stated that he was against agitation and unrest" There are too many laws" he said. There is too much theoretical legisla tion in Birmingham. All we hear is laws, and then more laws, and then reform. My vote will be a loud mo" when the moving picture ordinance comes up.'
 Commissioners Weatherly and Horn ady have said nothing for publication. It is evident they do not look upon the OlulIdHCe lHdL WOulQ par dll dIuuSo- ments from Birmingham in a favorable light.
 WHAT IT BARS
 The ordinance as proposed by the commissioner of public safety would bar a fight, killing, any show of do mestic infelicity between man and wife the wearing of abbreviated skirts or tights by the "belles" of the screen ir stage. A low-necked gown would be terrible and the short skirt would be shocking. AS far as known, an ordi- nance such as has been framed here was never heard of before Tuesday. No city has ever passed such a law.
 Women seem to have resented the in- ference that the commissioner of public safety put upon the scheme by express ing himself as believing it will meet With the approval of the womens fed erated clubs.
 Mrs. w. l.. Murdoch was present at the city hall yesterday. She called on several of the commissioners and stated very emphatically that she knew of no Woman's club that had indorsed or sanc- toned the passing or an ordinance that would deprive Birmingham of it's amusements.

DEMANDS ACTION in

ISOLATION of Machinists, yesterday gave
out a statement charging the ord
nance department OF the army with
systematic procrastination." District
A comprises all government arsenals
and navy yards.
The statement follows:
The question of an increase in
wages for the machinists at the Rock
Island arsenal has been drawn out
approximately six months without the
increase having been given.
Wages at the arsenal are deter
mined by what is paid for similar
classes OF work in the vicinity, "vicin-
ity" being an elastic term. The off,
cials at the arsenal and the chief OF
ordnance have tried to confine this vi
cinity to an unfavora BILE territory. The
maChinists have insisted on a territory
where good wages are paid and their
contention has been supported by an
investigation OF the Department Of
Labor. at the request OF former SeCre-
tary OF War Garrison.

The "Rosey Posey Girls are a bright

entertainment comprising plenty of
catchy songs, attractive chorus and
spectacular features.
Dancing is an important element Of

demand Of a burlesque audience for an
abundance Of the terpsiChoTean art. The
artists of this week, Earl and Marie
Gates, and the rest Of the girls from
the Golden West, in their Barbary Coas
