AND GO SIGNS
 HELP ID TRAFFIC
Citizens Urge All Day Traf- fife Policemen on Down.
 town Corners

Much favorable comment is being heard on the streets and other places regard ing the presentation of the stop and go street signs presented to the city of Bir- mingham by the Kiwanis club. and many business men, as well as clubmeu. are of the opinion that traffic policemen should be on the most popular street corners at ali times
 H. M. Dozier, president of the Bir- mingham Automobile club, stated that he did not see why Birmingham could not keep traffic policemen on the most prominent corners all day just as other cities such as Chattanooga, Atlanta and several Alabama cities much smaller than Birmingham were doing. "The stop ana go signs are splendid, said MT. Dozier. "and great help 70 outomo- bile drivers as well as to pedestrians. certainly am in favor of using them at all times, for 1 believe this will decrease automobile accidents in Birmingham."
 C. l.. Harold, secretary manager of the Birmingham Civic association. said: The stop and go signs presented to the city recently by the Kiwanis club are a decided improvement, in my opinion, and should prove a protection to pedes- trians as well as automobile drivers. While l do not own an automobile and have had little opportunity to judge, should think if they were properly manned at all times and closely watched by pedestrians they would be most sue cessful in reducing the number of acci- dents In Washington they have simi- lar signs, which are operated by the officer from the sidewalk"
 A number of others declared the signs to be decided help in protecting the people of this city, and should be op- erated at least during the afternoon if not all day.

Simple Study in Jugo- -Slays

From the New Republic
 If the Jugo- Slavs could be left alone through few decades, the obstacles to union might be expected to smooth them selves out. But they will not be let alone< The territorial aspirations of the neighboring peoples will not remain quies- cent We may assume that the Bull garian claim to Macedonia will not be pushed at the peace congress. Bulgaria 5 cue is not to be grasping. But Rumania
 who has merited we'll in allied eyes,
 wants the greater part of the Banat Of Temesvar, the richest territory claimed by the Jugo-Slavs. Italy plainly intends to claim the whole of Istria, most ot which is peopied by Slavs. and probably
 Dalmatia also. Nor is this all Italys Greek mainland of Asia Minor, would tend to force Greece to seek expansion outside of the lands that are unquestion- ably Greek There is an old claim ot Greece to part of Macedonia which could be validated only at the expense of the Jugo-Slavs. But Greece might prefer to let Jugo-Slav territory alone and push for Turkish Thrace and the Bulgarian lands south of the Rhodope Such an ar rangemept would result in perrenial dis content in Bulgaria, and eventually to schemes of expansion into Macedonia, the least defensible land within Bulgaria reach. Nor need we suppose that the Magyar state will sit by quietly while Jugoslavia and Rumania quarrel over the Banat.

LOCAL MEN INVENT
 CURING MACHINE
Smoke-Heat Generator for Home Use on Exhibi-
 ton Here

TWO Birmingham men have patented a smoke and heat generator for curing meats and drying fruits and vegetables which promises to do much not only for I the farmers, but the city man who has to buy farm products from the surround ing territory.
 J. N. Martin and Asher S. Bragan are the patentees and the home office is at 2S11 Second avenue, where one of the machines has been installed and anyone interested can go and see for themselves meats, fruits and vegetables in the proc . ess of curing or drying
 The Magic City Smoke and Heat Gen orator, Birmingham built and Birming- ham-conceived, offers to farmers and packing houses an economical and eff cient smoke-heat generator. The virtue of the recently patented machine is that 1t will cure meats within from 1e to 20 hours, and will dry and cure fruits and vegetables in from 20 to 36 hours and do 1t in more thorough manner than by any other process on the market.
 An advantage of the machine being made in Birmingham is that it may be ordered and built in any size to suit either farmers or packers. The largest as we'll as the smallest, may be cared for without the trouble of a long cor respondence and the buyers can inspect the machines as they are built and see that they come up to specifications.
 The machine is simple and strongly built. There are no complicated parts to cause owners trouble, and those living within a reasonable radius of Birming- ham are in position, if anything should happen to go wrong with the machine after it was installed, to get it remedied without great cost or delay.
 There is absolutely no danger of fire, as nothing but heat and smoke go into the smokehouse from this machine A decided feature of the machine is it's small initial cost and it's light upkeep after it gets into operation.
 Messrs. Martin and Bragan cordially invite those interested to come and in : spect this machine, which promises to revolutioniZe the curing of meats and the drying of vegetables. They not only de- sire probable purchasers, but anyone in- terested in bringing the town and the city into closer cooperation through bet ter methods of conservation and market ing.

L0CUSTS ARE GRASSHOPPERS;
HAY. HANDS SCARCE IN NORTH

w. r. Hume, special agent for the
Standard Oil Company. returned yes
terday from trip to Paradise Valley.
He said the ranchers in that vicinity
are having great trouble securing
men to work in the hay fields. AS an
instance he cited the fact that only
one-third of the haying crew required
has been secured on the Lye ranch
Hume said that w. NJ. Freemonth
told him, while there. that the seven
teen-year locusts which valley ranch
ers thought were going to do much
damage. have now turned out to be
merely a large crop of grasshoppers.
Because of this shortage of hay
hands in the eastern part of the state,
and especially in districts remote
from the railroad, j. c. Coniff of the
United States free employment Office
at Reno, is making strenuous efforts
to supply the demand for this kind of
labor.
AccOTulHS u CoHiH, HieH ioiio"ihS
this kind of labor are remaining on
the coast now, as it has been cool in
California so far; but as soon as it
gets hot they will be coming into
Nevada.
There is also a shortage of miners
and all kinds of labor including some
skilled mechanics. excepting automo-
bile mechanics and clerical help, says
COniff.
