EXPECT TO PLACE
|. TERMINALS STOCK
DURING THE WEEK
Chairman McWane Reports
People Ready and Ac-
quainted With Advan-
tages of Project

Reports Of the canvassing committees
made to Chairman ]. Frank Ruston yes
terday indicate that the s2o0, 600 OF shares
mingham corporation that are offered to
the public at present are being taken by
the bushes men of Birmingham.
The committees visiting the merchants.
bankers and manufacturers are received
with the greatest courtesy and have ex-
perienced no trouble so far in securing
subscriptions to the stock They expect
to close up the work this week probably
by tomorrow. when the Warrior river de-
veopment will hold another meeting to
hear reports.
j. X. McWane. chairman of the War
rivor river development committee, stated
yesterday that the committee had found
the community ready for this practical
stroke to capitalize the benefits of the
Warrior river on behalf OF the Birmjng-
ham district
THE matter has been discussed so
much" said Mr.. McWane, that every
body is familiar with the opportunities
OF the Warrior. Birmingham FOR years
has heard the advantages of the Warrior
extolled, and everybody is ready for this
project of establishing actual improve
ments at Short Creek that will make
Birmingham river port.
IAN business interests are friendly to
our proposal, and the outlook is good
for completing our campaign and selling
the remaining half of $4,000 worth of
stock this week. 1t is only necessary for
the committees to get to- those who want
to subscribe.
The Warrior river development COM
mittee requests that those who are ap-
preached put as few obstacles in the way
OF the campaigners as possible. 1t is
necessary sometimes for business man
to defer decision on matter of this
kind, in order to confer with business
associates, or to place the proposal before
his board of directors, but it will help
our work If every body will make his de-
cision as quickly as possible
I'VE hope to have the necessary
amount of stock. $4,000, subscribed this
week. and to proceed Immediately with
the establishment of terminal facilities
on the Warrior at Short Creek

1t was considered especially impor-
tant that Birmingham be well repre-
sented at the first convention as mat
ters of the gravest Importance will
come before the meeting. Members
of Congress have announced that many
of the bills affecting ex-service men,
and the army generally, involving bill
lions Of dollars, will be held up until
the opinion of the ex-service men as
represented by the American Legion
can be expressed.
The members of the Birmingham
post, at n recent meeting, voted
against the proposal to let each
delegate pay his own expenses, as
it was pointed out that this would
mean that only the wealthier mem
bers could afford to make the trip,
and some of the strongest members
of the post, who were desired to
represent the Birmingham post at
this important convention, weuld
be prevented from attending.
MUST PAY EXPENSES OF ALL
The members took the position
that it would not be proper to he

could afford to pay their own ex-
pense, it wns decided that the ex-

of those not able to meet this ex-
pense. itw as decided that the ex-

most of the members of the legion
are only recently out of the army,
the contributions of the members,

reach the sum necessary for this
purpose and finance committee
was appointed to raise the money.

HUDSON

The Hudson Super-Six is built in n
singler chassis model. which has been
standardized and brought to a high state
of development. Nine different body de-
signs are offered this year. including:
seven passenger phaeton, four-passenger
phaeton, four-passenger coupe, sedan,
limousine. touring limousine. town car
and three-passenger cabriolet, of which
as many models are shown as the ex-
hibit space permits, including the most
representative types.
Perhaps its outstanding mechanical
feature is the counter ba lance crank
shaft which caused something of n
sensation when it made its first appear
ance because of the high speed high
power and smooth running made possi-
BILE. This feature with others has given
the car a reputation for road ability.
Mechanically, the cars remain this year
fundamentally the same with certain
refnements. In body designs, however,
there are many surprises in store. in
the way of greater beauty. utility and
convenience of the driver and riders.
The daintiness and luxury of the cab
riolet, the smartness of the four-passen-
ger coupe, the utility and comfort OF
the limousine and touring limousine and
sedan are shown to best advantage be-
side the richly finished. cosy and speedy
looking four and seven-p passenger phae-
tons. A notable feature OF the Hudson
line is that every model is so built as TO
