LIQUOR AND AUTOS BAD COMBINATION
Chief of Police Shirley Says Prohibition Prevents
 Traffic Accidents

Birmingham has fewer traffic accidents and automobile smash-ups than any city of it's size in the south, T. J. Shirley chief of police of Birmingham, declared yesterday
 Chief Shirley attributed this, first, to the broad streets in the city, and, sec end, to the fact that the majority of men driving cars in Birmingham are sober
 If liquor were to return to Birming- ham, declared Chief Shirley, "the num- Der of automobile accidents would be doubled in a single day. As matter of fact, dry town is about the best insur- ance against automobile accidents that know.
 "A man told me the other day that if open saloons returned to Birmingham his automobile would go on sale the next day. He said that it wouldn't be safe to drive in the streets here.
 q agree with him thoroughly. A man who is irresponsible from liquor at the steering wheel of an automobile can do more damage in a shorter time than anybody I know And it's not merely a case of automobile and automobiie-the innocent pedestrian would suffer.
 "A large percentage of the accidents we still have is due to liquor, usually ob- tained outside of Birmingham. Blockade runners, on the difficult mountain roads leading into Birmingham frequently come to grief in this manner. Becoming un- steady, they have an accident and thus draw the attention of law enforcement officers to them with the result that they snd themselves under arrest'

Birmingham Awaiting
 Rise of Coosa Riuer
Hydro-Electric Power Exclusively Only Hope of General Relief Here--Stage of River Below Normal-Coa
 Production Increases During Week

Ordinarily the stage of water in the Coosa river does not interest Birming- ham. unless it overflows the banks and causes destruction to property or life At this critical period of the coal strike however. Birmingham is vitally interest," ed in the Coosa.
 Birmingham merchants. Birmingham manufacturers and all other persons in Birmingham are affected by the present low stage of water in the river.
 With normal volume of water the Ala bama Power company can generate enough electricity at it's hydro plant at lock 12 to supply Birmingham and all other cities depending upon it. The pres ent stage is 3.5 feet below low water mark and that makes the difference be- tween of plenty and poverty, electrically speaking.
 While there were slight rains at Gads- den and Rome on Thursday" said Thom- as w. Martin. vice president of the Ala bama Power company, yesterday, "the amount of water at the hydro plant on the Coosa river has not increased per- cepitbly. the elevation at the water dam being 465, as compared with the normal elevation of 420, thus making it necessary to develop a considerable portion of the energy consumed in the system by steam.
 Today's report shows no further in dications of rain, consequently it is ex- pected that existing conditions will con tinue for some days.
 ''The company is carefully observing the regulations of the fuel administra- ton and must, of course, continue to do so. However we wish to again assure the public that as soon as the Coosa river permits the company will operate its hydro plant without it's steam reserve
