 President Barnett presided and there was plenty of pep from the start of the meeting. Practically every Kiwanian had a guest, most of them being their com petitors. Each Kiwanian introduced his guest, and told the membership what his business was, and great deal of amuse- ment was gotten from these introdsc- tions. Rotarian Dimick stated that he wondered why some of the Kiwanians did not bring their enemies. for they all spoke of them as their friends
 The attendance was larger than the club has had in sometime. and added to this was the large number of guests, which filled the Tutwiler ballroom, calling upon the steward for further accommodations.
 King & Burnham, architects, pre- sented each member with an envelope containing 15 stickers for their letters, bearing the dates of the International kiwanis convention, which meets in Bir- mingham the latter part of May.

 While referring to undivided leadership responsive to party sentiment, the state ment made no direct declaration of pref erence as to the minority leader. Some democrats, however, proposed to regard the announcement as opposition to Champ Clark, speaker in the last House, becom- ing floor leader The outline programme organization would prevent Representa- tive Kitchin of North Carolina from con- tinung as leader unless he forfeited his place on the ways and means committee. MT. kitchin, however has declared his intention of retaining his committee as- signment, in the expectatio that MT. Clark would automatically become the floor leader.

CONGRESS IS PLAYED FOR NEGLIGENCE AT GOVERNORS MEETING
R0lph Leads Discussion, De- clasing Congress Failed al Time Country Looking To Government For
 Example
Ev Associated Press

Washington, March 4,-Sharp
 criticism of Congress for not pass
 ing appropriation and other meas
 urcs and of government depart-
 ments for vyhat was termed failure
 to cooperate to the fullest in pro-
 viding employment and in releas-
 ing raw materials, developed to-
 day at the White House confer
 ence of governors md mayors
 called to consider labor and busi-
 ness problems.
 Mayor Rolph of San Francisco, who led the discussion, declared Congress had failed to pass great appropriation measures at time when the country was looking to the federal government to set an example to states and muni- cipalities in the. handling of business, Mayor MahoueF of Newport, R. l., charged that government plants in his city had refused to re-employ men who left the plants to go to war, some of whom had returned wearing wound stripes.
 Mayor Peters of Boston said business there would be assisted greatly if the government would come to some de- termination of policy as to raw mate rial, such as WOOL ana leather, WHlCu were controlled during the war.
 CAUSES CONSERVATION
 Momentary consternation was caused when the deliberations in the historic east room of the White House were interrupted by a man who announced himself as a representative of bol. shevism in America" and said he had come to hear the representative of Seattle tell of recent troubles in tha. city. He gave his name as J. c. Par ker, an engineer, of Philadelphia.

Ensley Library: Hs Needs
 And It's Opportunities
By CORA CHAPMAN BoTEwEG

The attention of the needs of the Ems ley library is being considered by the Ensley clubwomen at the instigation of the Thread of the Story club, EnsleSs oldest literary club. and in order that the public might become better ac- quainted with the history and devel- opment of this home institution Miss Frances Randolph Archer. the efficient librarian, has secured some interesting data in connection with the early his- tory and present condition of the insti- tuition.
 The building was erected by Breedin Whildin in 1908 at cost of s9500, the larger part of this amount being received from the Carnegie library fund, the balance raised by popular subscription.
 A long list of subscribers, ranging from $100 down was found bearing the names of many well known men in Ems ley. According to the markings on the list only about two thirds paid their subscriptions. but the amount was enough to insure public library for Ensley. w. E. Bridge, who was sec- retary of the Ensley board of educa- fion, was also secretary of the library fund. With the entry into Birmingham in 1910 the Ensley- public library be- came a branch of 'the central library and the facilities and supplies of the library have greatly increased in hay ing the opportunity of drawing from a much larger supply.
 As has been the case In most of the public utilities of Ensley the individual interest of the people has greatly Jagged since they felt that the city mas removed the responsibility from their shoulders, but the face remains that the Ensley people are the sole benefciariesI of this library and it is necessary that they recover the feeling of ownership

| and take an individual interest in mak- | ing the Ensley library the center of l interest. Each individual should share 1 in the development.
 1 Last month Miss Archer reported that l 1000 books from the library had gone
 out into the various homes; there be- ! ing 1500 readers enrolled. Many high school children do their reference work 1 entirely from library books and the hours from 2:S0 to 4 are full ones for the librarian. Included in the high l school duplicates are "The English "Silas Manner" Tennysons poems. and "Silas Manner" Tnneyson's poems, and i "Plutarch's Lives" besides numbers of histories and other essential books.
 Grammar school children crowd each
 other out as they wait for Indian Days of Long Ago" "The Lady Tiger" Scottish Chiefs,'' "Alice in Wonder land and numbers of other books so i dear to the heart of every boy and girl from to 12 years of age. Bright-eyed Italian children, shy, but resolute, stood waiting for an opportunity to get the books that would cheer their lives and make them better American citizens
 Displayed on a table at the entrance door are pamphlets of the newest tech nical books received. The men, keen to improve technically, are frequent visitors at the library.
 Books on conserving, preserving and cooking food are free to the house. wives. besides excellent suggestions for the home doctor and first aid
 There is just plain reading for those who just want to read for the sheer en- joymentr such as Judge Priest Urving Cobb, "The Blue Flower" (Van Dyke) or Plain Tales From the Hills (Kipling). In fact, this home institu- tion is just brimming over with good things for home folks and the invita- ton is extended to Ensley people to help make it the pride of the district.

BUSY ON WAR ORDERS

"The armiStice agreement found our | factory running full speed on war or ders. We were manufacturing solid rubber tires for practically every type of vehicle used in the transportation Uf government supplies and ammunition. We were turning out thousands of pneumatic tires for motor truck trans- portation purposes, as well as for light tire service on the western front. Our gas mask department operated day and night.
 Then came one of the most re- markable changes in the history of American industry-that of transition from operating on a war time basis
 to operation in peace time. In the
 Firestone organization this was carried out with a minimum of extra effort
 The change was made easily and smoothly 10000 MORE MEN 1t is. because of the wondeHful pros

 to peace time work to be so smoothly carried out that not until the last few weeks was it realized how enormous was the volume of peace time demand upon production"
 MT.
