For the Good of
 the Community

S R lRMlNGHAM has the worst paved
 streets of any city in the United States"
 Birmingham is the poorest lighted city in the country"
 These comments on Birmingham were made day or two ago by two visitors to the city; men who have travelled all over the country. The poorly paved streets and the lack of adequate illumination at night struck them as being quite in con- trast with the other and many evidences of progress and prosperity here
 Whether Birmingham has the worst streets in the country or whether they are better than some others may not be of any special importance. But 1t is important that the city streets be kept in good con dition. It is also important that the streets be sufficiently illuminated.
 The city commissioners street con- struction program for next year has not been announced, but from the size of the fund set aside for that purpose in the bud get adopted a few days ago, it is evident that only very few streets can be built in the next twelve months.
 With very few exceptions the streets are full of holes; the surface is worn off of others, and as a whole they are in bad condition.
 Bad streets are bad advertisement for city, Dark streets are not good ad- vertisemennt
 In the resident sections, especially, the lighting is poor. Arc lights at alternate crossings, as is the case in practically all residence sections, afford poor protection against falling into holes or pumping into other defects in the streets and sidewalks.
 Arc lights used in Birmingham do not cast their rays block away, with the re- suit that at the missing intersections there is no light at all This especially is bad in the hilly districts, where the lamps are often located in depressinos with the crest of the hill intervening between it and the next crossing.
 The city commissioners are interested in making Birmingham an attractive place in which to live and to do business. They say they haven't got the money and can't get it to put in more lights or build more streets than they are building.
 Perhaps something might be Topped off of other departments thereby making available larger sums for the streets, both for construction and lighting.
 The legislature authorized the submis- sion to the electors of the state an amend ment to the constitution permitting cer- tain cities, among them Birmingham, to raise the tax levy to 12 per cent of the taxable values. This election will be held on the 29th of December.
 If the money is needed and they can be assured that it will be wisely expended, the voters of Birmingham will vote for for the amendment but they will have to be reasonably certain that they are going to get their moneys worth.

H. Woods The play has been described as a frivolous farce of feminine foibles and Is the work of Wilson Collins and Otto Harbach.

 More difficulties arose than he dreamed of, and in the course of his adventures, he found himself in situa- tion after situation, painful to him- self. but that furnished the greatest delight to his audiences. How the chemise was finally captured and Gar rvs troubles brought to an end, can not be divulged without detracting from the interest of the play. Up in MabeFs Room" Is as full of fun as any farce in recent years. The pro duction is a costly and elaborate one, and the company is carefully selected.

His dull brain worked slowly, and
he stared at me, his eyes ugly. His
silence and lack of response, awoke a
growl from the impatient circle OF
men behind. One fellow kicked the
club out OF his hand contemptuously,
and another plucked the knife from
his belt.
"You big skulker," the latter said,
with an oath of derisIon, Ego on, and
fight"
