Top Floors of Jefferson County Bank Building Leased by Civic
 Organization

Offices of the Birmingham Civic asso- citation will be opened today on the twenty-fifth floor of the Jefferson Coun- ty bank building, the cafe of the old newspaper club.
 The association has rented both the twenty-fourth and twenty floors, and in addition to having the offices there, the top floor will be used as an assembly room for the general meetings. It is possible to seat 60o persons on the main floor.
 In taking over the rooms of the old club, the Civic association extends to the public of Birmingham an invitation to use the promenade as a place of vantage for viewing the city, according to Vice President John E. Shelby.
 Since the newspaper club was closed the promenade has been inaccessible.
 We shall be glad to have not only the members of our association, but any one who wishes to do so to bring his friends to the club rooms and to use the promenade said MT. Shelby. we want as nearly as possible, to make our headquarters an institutional club, and we want the people to feel that they are welcome to visit the rooms at all times.' .''
 The special committees to investigate freight rates and rates on steel, author ized at the last meeting of the associa- tion will be named at an early date by President Shelby.
 Secretary T. L.. Cannon will remove his headquarters from the temporary offices on the fifth floor to the top floor today.

CHATTANOOGA FIVE IS HERE TOMORROW

Back from their western and northern
 invasion, the Youpng Mems Christian as- sociation team clashes tomorrow night
 with the Chattanooga aggregation.
 The Mountalneers are coming to Bir-
 mirgham with the avowed intention of
 taking revenge on Coach Mitchells speed
 boys. Anderson, a hefty forward, was
 out of the game at Chattanooga, and Coach Tapp claimed that it broke up the team work of the Chattanooga outfit. The locals are somewhat battered from the gruelling road trip, but Coach Mitchell is well supplied with splendid substitutes who can hold their own with the best of them. It will be interesting to the fans to know that two youngsters by the name of Smith and Henley have developed into real stars.
 Griff Harsh, who is the bulwark of the | team, is expected to be in good condition 1 by Saturday. Captain Harsh, by the way, was full sized ginger box on the road 1 trip, and it would have gladdened the hearts of the ''Y'' supporters to have seen the courage he fought with in the 1 last game even when hopelessly defeated. 1 Brooks is far from condition, but he will be seen in uniform Saturday night l Reserved seats have been put on sale, i and great number have been applied for A good crowd is expected.

The University of Georgia practical Iy cinched the southern basketball championship last night by scoring close victory over the Birmingham Athletic club five in one of the most spirited games ever witnessed here The GeOrgians played an aggressive game and were the victOrs by 16 to 12 count.
 The club five played a splendid game but cannot be placed in the class Of the Georgia crew. The passing of the visitors was fine, Scott and Morrison with their great height, forming the center of the attack The locals showed great improvement over their former games and had not injuries caused rink Gillian to retire from the game the locals would have probably nosed out a win
 The club played a great defensive game, forcing the Georgia forwards to make all of their shots from long ranges The guarding of both teams was close-the best seen here in years.
 The game assumed roughness at times, but the rough WOrk stopped pe- fore it had gone far enough to dis please the crowded gallery.
 The lead which the Georgians se- cured at the opening of the game was sufficient to give them the victory. Three field goals and foul goal in four minutes of play before the club drew their first blood forced the locals to fight an uphill battle for the re- mainder of the half. A long goal by Morrison a few minutes before the half ended placed the visitors on the long end of a to count.
 The locals took the lead in the sec ond half and remained so until link Gillian was forced out with sprained ankle. The count was 12 to when the blonde was forced to leave the game. The locals did not record another point while the Georgians, by clever pass work and good shooting, ran their total to 16 points before the time for the half elapsed.
 Scott and Morrison played excel lent ball for the visitors. Their de- fensive work, together with that of Rawson and Mccall. was the best of fered here this season by a visiting team.
 For the locals, Strange, playing his first game of the season, starred. Seals and Jones played excellent defensive ball. McGowan, the clubs star was orr, missing several easy shots. He was closely guarded. however, and was never allowed to show his real class.

ALABAMA GRID|RON
 OUTLOOK SETBACK

Tuscaloosa, February s.-CSpecial.( J Cecil Green, Alabama's star quarter back of last season, will not see duty on the gridiron next fall. Academic difficulties render the fleet footed youngster ineligible for both baseball this spring and football next fall at the University of Alabama, and he left the university this week with the in- tention of entering Washington and Lee.
 Green had been informed by the as- sistant coach of the latter institution that he would be eligible for football there next fall if he entered immedi- j ately after the Christmas holidays. However, it may be stated authorita- lively as coming from the supreme athletic authorities of Washington and Lee that Green will be ineligible next fall and that if he is to see service with the Generals it will not be foh another year at least.

 INTEREST LAGGING
 Tonight congressional interest in the inquiry had lapsed almost to the point of apathy and there was a definite feeling in the committee that another week probably would see it's conclusion. An other hearing will be held in New York Wednesday to receive reports of investi- gators who have examined brokerage records, but whether any sessions will follow the committees return here has not been disclosed.
 Mrs. Viscont refused on her "consti- tuuonal rights to give the name of her informant, but agreed to write it on a slip of paper. The committee considered the testimony in executive session and the name Mrs. Visconti wrote was not made public. It was reported to be that of a playmate of the Price child.
 MT Lawson unexpectedly appeared in the committee room just before Mrs, Visconti took the stand conferred brief iy with her, sat behind her during ex- animation and left the building when she was excused. He said that he came here only because he had promised Mrs. Vis- conti he would see that she was treated fairly by the committee

Features for today:
 Rialto: Ethel Barrymore in "The White Raven;' Mrs. Vernon Castle in +Patria. "
 Strand: Evelyn Greeley in Tempest and Sunshine
 Triangle: Frank Keenan and Thelma Salter in "The Crab"
 Colonial Marguerite Clark in Wild flower"
 Odeon one: Screen dramatizat tion of Ells Wheeler Wilcox poem, "A Married Coquette."
 AT THE TRIANGLE, THE CRAB" "
 Frank Keenan and Thelma Salter are featured in this production in roles of the greatest contrast, the one hard ened cynic and the other a bewitching little waif. Keenan, as the eynic, IS the wealthiest man in the community and is reputed to be the meanest also, being known to his neighbors as the "crab" Out of sheer perversity he takes the little orphan into his home, where he treats her with extreme in difference to the extent that he is cruel to her.
 Thelma Salter is only 8 years old and her acting is flawless. This remark able picture will be shown today at the Triangle
 The attraction at the Triangle for Saturday is Dorothy Dalton and Louise Glaum in '"The Weaker Sex" This is the picture that created such a sen satior when it had it's premiere at the Triangle, the commission having voted four to one that it should not be cen sored
 This picture is a tremendous effort in the cause of justice and morals in which a woman proves her right to stand on plane of mental equality with a man.

TWO STARS AT R1ALTo

picture playhouse to the sidewalk They offer two stars of the first magnitude in two stellar attractions, Ethel Barrymore in 'The White Raven," and Mrs. Vernon Castle in the third episode of the "Patria" serial.
 Ethel Barrymore is seen as a dance hall girl in a rough mining town of Alaska. And there are those probably who can hardly imagine Ethel Barrymore at tempting a role in short skirts.
 The White Raven" is a story of re- venge,
 Nan, being left alone at her fathers death, crosses her heart and hopes to die that she will get even with her father s scoundrelly partner, who robbed him of his gold So she gets into a short skirt and is immediately the uncrowned queen of the dance halls. She auctions herself off one day and the highest bidder is a young chap she had never set eyes on before. She tells her purchaser about her terrible oath of revenge and he bids her good luck and be careful, and to return to him when she has accomplished her vendetta Oh, well, when you see the picture you'll know how it all came out And anyway, maybe Nan was revenged, after all.
 
 creases in thrills and suspense as the play unfolds. The Rialto is showing the | third episode of this great preparedness picture today.
 TEMPEST AND SUNSHINE" AT STRAND A screen dramatization of Tempest and Sunshine" from the novel by Mary J. Holmes and featuring Evelyn Greeley,
 is the showing at the Strand today. Most everybody, especially of the south, has read the novel The screen version is just as charming and fas- cinating as the book. The scenic eff fects are unusually good. l ODEON ONE OFFERS A FILM POEM
 The Odeon One shows today "A Mar ried Coquette," after one of Ella Wheeler WilcoXs popular poems. As I recall the poem. the man tells | the married near-vampire few things that had been on his mind since she had cast coquettish goo-goos upon 1 him.
 FRANK KEENAN'S FAREWELL TO- l DAY.
 .'The Crab" marks the last appear ance of Frank Keenan on the Fri i angle programme, unless this splen- did actor decides to return some day | to the screen and the studio of Thomas 1 II. Ince in particular. In his brief ca reer of over a year with Ince he has had some of the most dramatic plays from this hothouse of virile l dramas. While "The Crab" contains 1 perhaps less tense action than many of his plays, it Is fitting vehicle for 1 his last appearance-until he returns again. for it is hard to believe that I Keenan is entirely lost to the millions who have. admired his work on the shadow stage.
 1 .eyyJI DEF OVER" REMAINS AT THE | COLONIAL. 1 Marguerite Clarke and Harold Lock | wood in sWildflower," remain at the l Colonial today to satisfy hundreds who have requested Manager Abernethy to show this picture just one more time.
