K|LbY WILL MAKE CLEAN SWEEP AT
 STATES CAPITOL Little Time to Be Lost in Getting New Administra-
 tion Organized MANY NAMES HEARD FOR THE OFFICES Brooks Lawrence Has Announced That He Will Make Absolutely
 no Recommendations for
 Anyone
By W. J. ROLES

During his campaign for the demo- cratic nomination for governor Thomas E. Kilby declared repeatedly that if elected he would clean up things at Montgomery, and that has been inter- all present officeholders in every branch of the government who are not in sympathy with him and the cause he represents with others who are friendly
 It is recalled that when the anti-pro- hibitionists got control almost eight years ago they made clean sweep at
 the capitol and as they have been in control ever since either the men then put in office or others entertaining the same views on the dominant political
 question are still in office. These, it
 is said, will be given to understand early in the Kilby administration that their services are no longer necessary or required. It is understood to be the policy of MT. Kilby to put on guard only such men as are in sym pathy with the prohibition cause. of course, selecting from among these the best material.
 It is understood, however, that the fact that a man has been consis- tent prohibitionists. or supporter of Mir. Kilby in his campaign, will not be sufficient of itself to connect him with the state payroll, but he must possess other qualifications that fit him for the performance of the duties falling to the office he seeks In other words. while those who have fought prohibit tion and Mir KiIby will not be avail able for office under his administra- tion, it should not be understood that the only prerequisite to appointment is that the seeker proclaim and prove his loyalty to the cause.
 IMPROVEMENT OF FINANCES
 MT. Ki1by announced frequently dur ing the campaign that he would de- vote himself to the improvement of the states financial condition and to the upbuilding of the state in every ma terial and moral way He Is a friend of the manufacturer, the business man. the farmer and the laborer, and it will be his policy to see that everyone gets a fair deal.
 The election of a substantial major ity of both houses favorable to the ratificatio of the federal prohibition means that the issue that has divided the people of Alabama for years VIII De ulSpOSeu or during the first week of the legislative session and that the governor and the leg islature can then settle down to tEe of constructive legisia- tion of which there is great need.

The Administration Bulletin Shows Average Here Great
 est of Southern Cities
GOVERNMENT WILL MAKE INVESTIGATION
Few Violations of Food Regulations Reported-Meat Cutters to Be Instructed by Govern
 ment Experts
By W. J. BoLEs

In bulletin issued by the national food administration a few days age
 average prices of foodstuffs in large
 number of cities were tabulated and
 compared, and the figures there quoted
 show that the average in Birmingham 1 IS greater than in any other southern city, and is exceeded by only one or
 two cities outside of New England.
 There appears to be no good reason
 Why Birmingham people should be com
 pelled to pay more for their foodstuffs
 than the people or other cities similarly
 situated, and to ascertain the reason for
 this condition Paul II. Earle. county
 food administrator, while in Washing
 ton few days ago. consulting with the
 national food administration. brought | the matter to the attention of the m . l tional administrators An investigation Will be made and prices more in keen ing with those obtaining in other south ern cltles put into effect, if possible It was brought out at the conference 1 in Washington, according to MT. Earle. that meat prices in articular are sub l1ect to wide variances in different To- calltleS on account of the different manner of cutting it. It as said that a large number of Birmingham house- Keepers demand the very best cuts. for which they must pay high prices to en- aoie the butcher to realize profit Mir Earle illustrated the point by saving that in slicing ham, for instance a great many householders insist upon slices through the middle of the ham and Will have no other When the butcher has supplied these customers ne mas nothing but the ends, or hooks. Which he must sell for less than it cost
 him. Therefore, he is compelled 10 enarge enough for the choice slices to onset the loss on the ends
 DEMAND CHOICE CUTS
 The same condition applies to beef Birmingham has a larger percentape of people than any other southern city Who demand the choicest cuts. MT. Earle said, and in order to give these customers wha, they want the butcher IS compelled to cut the quarters in sucb way that good portion of it can only be sold at cost or less Conse- quently ne must charge a good profit on the choice cuts.
 MT. Earle states that the food ad mlnlstrator Is making an investigation Tn all parts of the country and has expert meat cutters working out a so lutlon' They are trying to decide upon the most economical way to cut meat and as soon as they have discovered if It will be made public and the local food administrators will be instructed to see that butchers within their re- spective Jurisdictions adopt 1t. The gov ernment will seend expert meat cut ters to all of the cities to give in structions in meat cutting.
 1t is believed that by adopting a uni- form way of cutting meat and requiring an outcners to conform to the regula- tions in that respect, not only wilI meat prices be lowered, but everybodv will get Dc ter cuts
