AUTO POLO FEATURE

Auto Polo' one of the special fea tures is said to be the most thrilling and daring game ever invented by the brain of genius. Every turn and every play is thrill This game IS played in automobiles rushing over the green sward at breakneck speed and turning and bucking and almost crashing to- gether as the players seek to make a goal It is said to be the first time an attraction of this kind was ever brought to Dixie.
 President Brown and Secretary Manager Dent were enthusiastic Sat urday. They had expended more money in arranging the features and ire acts for this fair than ever before, but they were optimistic. We have no fear of playing a loser" said Manager Dent, flor the public will eat such wonder fui and meritorious attractions as we have booked alive.
 President Brown remarked: Its go- ing to be the most successful fair Bir- mingham and the state ever had. This is no idle boast, and the amusement public will bear me out when it sees what we have to offer the week be- ginning October '.

STREET IMPROVEMENT WORK ALREADY BEGUN
 MAY BE COMPLETED
Regional Adviser Aldrich Receives Instructions From Washington and Will Go to Capital
 October IA

T. H. AIdrich. regional advisor of the resources and conversions section of the war industries board, received instruc- tions yesterday to. be in Washington on October IA at which time the advisors of all 20 of the regions into which the country has been divided will be there for conference.
 It is stated that there are a number of things the regional advisors are called upon to do about which there is more or less confusion. It is for the purpose of clearing up these, and establishing some uniform plan upon which all can work, that the conference is to be held.
 MT. Aldrich also received instructions to the effect that street improvement work that had already been begun, but was stopped sometime ago on orders from the war board should be permitted to be completed provided this can be done before November l. No priority permits will be necessary for obtaining the ma- terials needed in completing the work. After November 1, however, the order will be in force again.
 Two important streets in Birmingham, work on which was begun several months ago. can now be completed.

MEN AD|SED ID GET
 ESSENTIAL JOBS Tarrant Says Those Volun- teering Now Will Be Given Choice of Jobs; Others
 Placed

In a statement made yesterday State Director George B. Tarrant of the United States employment service warned all men not now engaged in the production of essential materials or supplies to seek such employment at once.
 These people, he said, should register at the local office of the employment service without delay, so that they may be properly placed Should they register now they will be assigned to such work as they may express a preference for. but in the event they delay too long they will be taken from their present occupations. # they have any. and placed where they are most needed.
 The local employment office. now in the Chamber of Commerce building, 26 North Nineteenth street, will be moved to 20l2 First avenue in a few days, the policy of the government, an- nounced sometime ago, being to locate the employment offices on prominent streets, where they will be more in the public eye.
 Persons desiring to register can do so either at the Birmingham office, or at tne btSSeiileI OlllCcs ONCl tic bCSSSHcl National bank.
 "The time has arrived when it becomes absolutely necessary for common labor to be shifted from nonessential to es- sential york; said MT. Tarrant. "so that the governments programme may be carried out and war production in creased to the maximum. If the labor CTS volunteer, now they will be offered work of their own choice before the work or fight order goes into effect. If they wait until the work or fight order goes into effect they will have no choice in the matter. The labor board is de- sirous of making the shift from non essential to essential work with the least inconvenience to the laborers, but it must be done as quickly as possible
 Mir Tarrant stated he wanted colored women to volunteer for the work they are capable of doing in order that the men now engaged in that work may be transferred to occupations more directly connected with the war.
 He says there are also number of places that white women can fill dur ing war times, and he calls upon them to volunteer for this.

 Every time I visit Birmingham am more impressed with it's possibili- ties than ever," said Mir Thomas. You people who live in Birmingham can't realize it as well I do because ev- cry time I visit here I see signs of progress that are really wonderfully
 "Ot course, our main reason for put ting in the All-An.erican shoe store here is to sell shoes to the public, but one of the most important things that brought us here is to have a store where the small merchant can see .he full Rice -Hutchins line in it's entirety and realize that we make shoes for everybody and at range of prices that will suit any tastes"
