MEN ARE PLANNING ID
 PLANT GARDENS
Meetings Held to Encourage Food Production, and Later Patriotic Assem-
 bly, Will Be Called

Montgomery April 9.-t Special.)-1n two mass meetings, which overflowed the two circuit courtrooms, 2000 citi- zens of Montgomery tonight received suggestions about how to relieve the food situation and agreed to till as much of the soil by planting early vegetables as possible. The meeting was called by the Chamber of Com merce When one room was filled an other meeting was started in the oth- CT. Many persons were turned away because they could hot enter either room. It was agreed that early vege- tables are necessary to relieve the immediate needs of the people; that later vegetables will be great aid un- til the fall crops are harvested, and that canneries should be constructed at once to care for all superfluous foods and vegetables.
 One suggestion which received wide approval was that all employers shah declare a half holiday each week in order that employees may have the time to care for their gardens N
 Montgomery will hold patriotic mass meeting at the capitol Wednes- day evening at which Governor Hen derson will preside.

BUILD FIRE AGAIN IN
 TRUSSVILLE FURNACE
After likeness of Six Years Iron
 maker Resumes Work

The old Trussville iron furnace-one of the first to be operated in Alabama-will resume operations after a lapse of six years. It has been purchased from the Michigan Trust company of Grand Rap ids by some young Chicago iron men. D. E. Mitchell. who has been negotiating for it's purchase for more than six months, and Mir. Shedd of Chicago, are understood to have been it's purchasers. The price was not announced.
 The Trussville furnace has been idle since 191O It has a 200-ton capacity. While there is a battery of bee hive coke ovens nearby the Trussville furnace is without coal mines. In these times when coal is high and hard to get, it was feared that this might prevent sale by the Michigan Trust company. Evidently the new purchasers of the furnace have contracted for coal supply.
 The Trussville furnace was constructed in 1887 and is one of the old type blast furnaces. However, it has produced a very good foundry iron and, with the metal selling at $S2 ton should bring it's new owners neat profit.

Wants Birmingham
 Rifles Reorganized

John w. Anderson makes the sugges- tion that the old Birmingham Rifles be reorganized. He says:
 AS an ex-member of the old organiza- ton known as the Birmingham Rifles, Company K. Second regiment, Alabama National Guard, think it would be prop CT for all us old members to get together and reorganize this old company for service wherever we may be needed There are quite a number of the old members around Birmingham who saw service in the state with this organza- tion and who were good soldiers then and would make good soldiers now, as they have all had. considerable military experience.
 Judge s. D. Weakley and Dr. B. L. Wyman and also Col. E. L. Higdon were captains at various times of the Bir- mingham Rifles.
 T would like to see a call made for the reorganization of this old company and ] will be one to serve with them whenever needed

EXPECT COMMISSION
 TO HAVE BUSY DAY
High Food Prices Expected to Be
 Considered at Meeting

War having been declared it is ex- pected that a ''plethoria' of resolutions and measures will be presented to the city commission this morning. It is un- derstood that one measure to be intro duced will prevent the manipulation of food prices.
 While it is not believed that the ses- sion will develop such a dramatic out burst as that last week when Commis- sioner Barber expressed himself, there are indications that one or two measures will be introduced to eniven the session.
 There will be no report on the water works matter, inasmuch as A. M. Lynn, president of the Birmingham Water works company, has not recovered from ms past illness. Therefore he has no. sent the valuation of the properties of the company, such as Commissioner James Weatherly had been assured would be presented.
 Julian Kendrick, city engineer, is at work on the matter of a municipal light ing plant.

SAYS GREEKS ARE
 LOYAL TO ALLIES
DeLevoir Says They Are Willing to Shed Their Blood for the
 Stars and Stripes

William DeLevoir, a well known insur- ance man of Greek birth, but who is an American citizen, resents any suggestion that there should be division of sym pathies among the Greeks of Birmingham.
 Birmingham Greeks are heart and soul with the allies cause,'' he said. We who are naturalzed citizens stand ready to fight for the Stars and Stripes, not only because we love the land of our adop- ton. but because we who know history know that if 1t had not been for Eng land there would be no Greece today.
 Tt is unjust to every Greek in Bir- mingham to hint that there is division of sentiment. We have cast our lot with this great nation, and we are ready to spill our blood for 1t. No more loyal citizens will be found anywhere than the Greek-Americans of Birmingham"

PEGGY INLAND
 AT THE -TRIANON

'Babette," with Peggy Hyand, is the offering at the Trianon today It is a production of real merit and genuine ap- peal. The story is of the reformation of a crook through the devotion of his wife.
 Raveau, gentleman burglar and much sought by the Paris police, leaves for a small town in Normandy until his last safe-cracking affair blows over. While here he meets Barbette, the daughter of the Jailer, and the two fall in love and are married. Reveau has been tracked to the little village, so together with his bride, he flees to Paris, there to take up his old work of painting. During his visit to a gambling den he meets and is able to assist a lady who claimed she lost all. Unsuccessful as a painter, Raveau steals money from a fashionably dressed man. He is brought before the judge but is freed when it is discovered that the one he stole from was the hus- band of the lady he aided at the gam ing house some years past. He gradually won fame as painter and buried his past life so that Babette never knew nor sus- pected.

MANY ALLEGED SPIES
 REPORTED IN CITY

If Birmingham is as full of spies as Its residents believe. the city may ex- pect the worst
 In response to the appeal of the federal authorities that all Americans report sus- picious characters. the office of the de- partment of justice and the district at- torney were flooded with reports More than 200 suspicious persons were re- ported to be watched by the agents of the secret service
 While the authorities will mention no names it is known that the first woman spy has been captured She had been going among the negroes and advising them to uphold the German government and to migrate to Mexico.
 There is no doubt but that the Ger man agents have failed, if they hoped to arouse the negroes, or place them in a disloyal frame of mind.

EDITH STORY
 AT THE RIALTO

Aladdin From Broadway" featuring Edith Story and Antonio Moreno and showing at the Rialto today is a story unusual and interesting. It, like many another picture drama, deals with the question of divorce. But this story handles the subject in different way
 It IS really a most amusing and origi nal story told against vivid and exotic setting and excellently acted.
 The plot is based on that ruling in the Koran which has decreed that when a Mohammedan has divorced his wife by announcing q divorce thee' three times after the approved Moslem fashion, he cannot then marry her again until she has married another man and has been divorced by him. Our heroine is an Arfne- nian girl married against her will to crusty old Turk who, in a moment of wrath, utters the fatal sentence three

times and then immediately wants his beautiful bride back again. She is forced to go through the marriage ceremony with a supposed pilgrim" in order that she may be divorced at once by this stranger and restored to her first hus- band. Now the pilgrim is really a young American disguised as a Mohamme- dan, who realizes the predica- ment of the girl, refuses to divorce her and escapes with his bride from the Mos lem palace, crossing the desert to Ameri- ca. Here the complications become of the new world instead of the old, but none the less thrilling, and end in an amusing climax which is worthy of the entire unusual story
 Carmen Phillips, we'll known as a vam- pre actress, has been engaged by the Lasky company to play the heavy role in support of Vivian Martin and Sussue Hayakawa in a production which will be staged by Paramount under the direction of Robert Thornby.
 Through the carelessness of a property man Mae Murray was poisoned recently during the course of the production of a Lasky picture for Paramount The scenario called for Miss Murray to weep bitterly into a bouquet, and careless property man ordered primroses. As a result of touching the flowers Miss Mur- rays face was so badly poisoned that she was forced to go under the doctor S care.
