'MAYTIME "-JEFFERSON

"Maytlne,' which will appear at the

Wednesday matinee, derives its title from
the fact that the story of its four acts,
or episodes, transpire in the month or
May. Not only are all the scenes in that
month of blossoms, but each takes place
on the 21st day of May More than three
quarters of century pass, however, be-
tween the day in May in which the play
opens and that in which it reaches its
climax. 'Maytinle' is an original nara
tive of inherited affections whereby
grandchildren realize the happiness that
a blighted romance denied their ancestors
two generations before. Rida Johnson
Young, one Of the better known of fem
mime playwrights. wrote "Maytime' and
sne went far off the beaten bath to fash
ion play that is novel and freshly APP
pealing. The musical embellishments for
the play is by Sigmund Romberg, COM

of the music in the spectacular Winter

the play under the personal direction OF
j. ]. Shubert. The extraordinary value of
"Maytime" with every type of amuse-

and vastly superior to any musical en-

For the Good of
the Community

N his short talk at the Civitan luncheon
last Friday Mr. George Gordon Craw-
ford, president of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company sounded a
note of warning to the people of Birming-
ham.
"a test is being made of the Warrior
river he said, ''and if that fails inland
country will suffer-"
He was speaking about the Port of Biz
mingham through which millions of tons
Of Birmingham products will pass in the
years to come, if the proper facilities are
provided. And it is up to Birmingham to
provide these. The government has done
all it will or can do to build uptraffc on
the Warrior until Birmingham does some
thing.
1--WE have been sending delegates to
Washington to get things" Mr.. Crawford
said, but we must now help ourselves.
The government has spent over $17OOO,-
600 in making the Warrior navigable and
acquiring tow boats and barges and self
propelled barges It is our duty to build
the terminals"
This warning coming from a man &C.
cupying the position Mr.. Crawford does
in the industrial world struck home to the
minds and hearts of the business men who
compose the membership of the Civitan
club. It would be we'll if every business
man in Birmingham would take to him
self this warning.
1--WE have been sending delegates to
Washington to get things for us, but we
must now help ourselves"
Birmingham has depended too much,
upon the bounty of nature, or upon some
thing else. Because coal and iron under
~ the whole district Birmingham has act
ed as though that were all that were neces-
sary to make her great. Birmingham peo-
pie have not taken advantage, nor accept
ed to their full extent the natural riches
Of the district. They said to the world.
We nave 81 eau OCOICS I'll ITCH minerals
here. Come and dig them out of the
ground and convert them into useful ar
ticles for u.s."
They have come many of them, and in
vested their millions and some of them
made millions of dollars bNso doing.
\
But Birmingham has not taken the in
itiative as she should have done.
Coal and iron and the Warrior are
agencies for making Birmingham great
and powerful as manufacturing COM
munity, but they alone cannot do it.
Sending delegates to Washington, or
elsewhere, will not accomplish the things
that lie within the power and the duty Of
Birmingham alone to do.

is not unusual for the fluctuations in cot
ton to amount to as much as 200 points
in a single day.
I'm these c rcumstances it seems to me
that it is necessary to require a larger
margin in making loans on cotton than
was the case when cotton was selling at
a much lower price and was free from

serve system should do everything pos
sible, with due regard to safety and to

products in a gradual and orderly man.
ner so that no one might be forced to sell
at a sacrifice, Mr. Harding said the
banks should not be used as a medium
to enable the owners of cotton to with
hold it entirely from the market with the
view of forcing prices to an unreasonable
level.
