REALTORS DISCUSS
 CITY PLAN TODAY
Exchange Will Display Maps With View of Pub
 fishing in Book Form

The Realtors will devote most of their meeting today to a discussion of the Warren Manning maps. known as the City Plan. Hill Ferguson will explain the details of these 26 large drawings and will then take up with the mem bership the matter of publishing them in book form for distribution through out the district.
 These maps were drawn by MT. Man. ming at an expense of several thousand dollars" said MT. Ferguson, but owing to lack of money the city commission. which ordered the work done, is una ble to get them out in attractive form, so the Real Estate exchange is going to publish thousand of them as a community enterprise. We believe that Birmingham, like every other modern city, should have plan toward which all constructive influences can work. New people are moving into our dis trict every day and new highways and roads are now being developed through the western end of the county. We can't build a real city without a city plan any more than we could build a house without the customary archi- tect's blue prints"
 Following MT. Ferguson's talk other business matters are expected to be dis cussed and suggestions from those pres ent will be called for. Inasmuch as the Realtors have postponed their last two meetings on account of war causes. it is hoped that large attendance will be on hand at the Southern club to- day.

MILLIONS LOST IN
 GARBAGE WASTE Heavy Loss to City Through Lack of Garbage Ren-
 dering Plant

Some iaea of the loss Birmingham sustains annually because there Is nc garbage rendering plant here may be gained by a perusal of figures recently announced by the United States food ad. ministration, said w. J. Adams of tn. Adams Drug company.
 Figures and statistics issued by the food administration show that in one tor of garbage there is sufficient glyceril to make the explosive charge for 1. 75-millimeter shells, enoukh fatty ael, to manufacture 75 pounds of, soap, fer. tilizer elements to grow eight bushels of wheat and q score Of other valuable materials essential in the manufacture of munitions
 Tt is also pointed out by the fuel ad- ministration that 24 cities of over 100. 900 are not utilizing garbage and tha, the combined population, which is esti. mater at 5,o000oo, is wasting 4,4o0,O pounds of nitroglycerin and 100000 F. ounce cakes of soap. besides 5000 tons of tankage which contains fertilizer ele- ments sufficient to produce a s,ooo, ,0oo- bushel wheat crop. The value of this loss of material is estimated at 5000, coo.
 Tn 29 cities where there are garbage utilization plants the figures show that a combined population of 1s,0OO, 900 people are utilizing these products to the value of over s11,0o0,o00 annually and that a large percentage of this saving is being directly used by the government in mu- hilton making. But in these 9 cities. or most of them, large amounts of gar haze are destroyed by burning or made useless by being mixed with other wastes. This mems that around 5000, 900 pounds of grease is lost. or sufficient to pro- duce 100000 pounds of nitroglycerin, which would furnish the powder charge of about 100000 shells of the famous French 75s. In addition there is a loss of fatty acids sufficient to manufacture a, 0OO 900 12-ounce cakes of soap.
 ,.The fertilizer waste amounts to l, ,25O,- GOO pounds of nitrogen. 3,5O0,oo pounds of phosphate of lime. 35o, 900 pounds of pot ash, or enough for the replacement of clements removed from soil by 1.OOo.0 .0o0 bushels of wheat; in other words, a waste of p .5oo tons of fertilizer
 If in these 2s cities the garbage was kent clean or free from bottles, tin cans. crockery and other foreign matter, the saving to the government would be many million dollars more The respon- sihility devolves upon the shoulders of ina housewife Other house refuse has . value. but it's value is lost and the value of the garage is lost if refuse and garbage are mixed

 Walter Parker general manager of the Association of Commerce of New Orleans, writes that Mobile, New Or leans, Houston and Galveston, Tex, are aiding in the matter of obtaining this bar1S line for transportation of coal and are also assisting in behalf of a system of through rates, by way of Maxine, Cordova, Tuscaloosa and other joint water and rail points, and these cities feel confident that they will be able to report success in a short time.

 CLUB LUNCHEON
Artists From Lyric Entertain With Songs and Specialties-Shortage
 of Felt Lids Predicted

The Rotary club luncheon was held yes terday at l O clock in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel. Ira Armstrong made one of the most interesting talks heard in sometime. taking for his subject Hats ? He stated that the ban on Australian rabbits, which has been in force since May 13, has cut the supply of felt so that 1t will be exhausted in about seven months. He also pointed out that the government had ordered 24,00o,Oo0 hats and caps and 1t would taiie at least 65 per cent of the production of all fac tories to fill this order, which would leave only 8 per cent of the production for those of us not in the various branches of the military service of the govern ment.
 lie spoke of the Monte Chrsto' hat, which s made by natives of South Amer lea on top of AntilIe mountains, which cost $500 and $500 each. One of the most inquisitivc Rotarians interrupted the speaker. asking how many of those he carried in stock. Much amusement was created when MT. Armstrong ad- mitted he did not have any in stock but stated that he had seen one.
 President r. II. Andrews presided. Sec retary Lloyd made a short talk on the recent meeting of the international con- vention ot Rotary clubs.
