ROAD UNFOLDS WHEN
 EVANGELIST SPEAKS
Appears Before Commission Who Re
 open Old Pumphouse Highway

With suppressed intensity camou- flaged by punctlious politeness, a small group of citizens who live near Twelfth avenue and Forty-seventh street came before the meeting of the board of city commissioners yesterday morning to protest against the closing of the pump house road"
 MT. President, that has been an open street since I was child. forty years ago." said Rev. J. O. Hanes, the evangelist, who was spokesman for the committee, when he addressed pr. N. A. Barrett presiding officer of the commission.
 The. minister told of his father hay- ing bought land there many years ago, selling off building lots to draw con- genial neighbors about him, and sec ing that section of the city begin to grow and prosper.
 It was at a meeting of the commits sion not long ago that the Stockham Pipe and Fitting Company was grant ed permission by the commission to close the old pump-house road, the or ganization, in appreciation for the priv ilege, saying it would construct an- other highway in the viciAtyi
 At the meeting yesterday kit devel- oped that the closed road cut off a group of resident from communica- ton by any short route with their way to town. and to their work, the com pany having erected high fence across the old way that made necessary a detour of several blocks.
 There was some talk about having the matter referred for fouther con sideration, but Commissioner J. H. Tay- Tor moved that the board recind it's &C., tions in granting the closing of the street, and this was done by unanimous vote.
 The matter goes back to the status 1t occupied before the first petition was presehted

In reply to the recent report of the Jefferson county gand jury, in which the condition of the Birmingham streets was most unfavorably commented on, and the suggestion made that the city dispense with the official who is re- sponsible, Commissioner Henry Page Burruss, under whose supervision are the streets of Birmingham, yesterday gave out the following statement;
 "A report of the Jefferson county grand jury on their alleged and pre- tended investigation of the bad condi- lions of the streets of Birmingham and the causes assigned by this grand jury for those conditions appeared in the newspapers of the city on the 12th of the present month.
 "ln this report the grand jury de- clared that there was no excuse for the conditions of the streets, and that the bad condition was the result of the neglect and incompetency'' of those in charge of the streets. They recom- mended that those in charge of the city's affairs put a competent man in charge of the street department. To what person they reSer in the denun- citation of neglect and incompetencys and to what person they refer in their Recommendation" of change and re- moval are both alike left to interpre- tation and guess on the part of the municipal authorities.
 WHO THEY ARE
 Fl. P. Burruss is commissioner of the department of public improvements, embracing streets. l.. w. Melton is in charge of the subdivision of unpaved streets of the city Julian kendrick, city engineer, is in charge of paved street repairs. Which of these men does the grand jury refer to?
 Accuracy moral courage, official re- sponsibilty and common fairness would have suggested a specific designation of the negligent and incompetent off cia1 so denounced. Had a sense of pub lie duty, public service and official re- sponsibility governed the grand jury orstheir leaders who wrote the report, a specific designation of the negligent and incompetent official or officials would have been indicated. A sense of public duty, public service and offi- cial responsibility do not seem at any stage of their conduct to have entered the head of this galaxy of politicating gentlemen and public censors who were maliciously seeking to injure and pun ish those who do not belong to their unholy ring and who would not bend the pregnent hinges os' the knee t

FUR NIGHT GOWNS

In every place where Miss Strauss has
 been she stated that she had always
 been told that the women made the
 styles This she said was not true as
 they only followed them and she was
 sure that the women did not demand
 short sleeves and short skirts in the win
 ter and high shoes, leather coats and
 iong kid gloves at time of an acute
 leather shortage, and she was positive
 they did not demand a fur-trimmed night
 gown as she had seen in a window in
 Washington recently.
 She appealed to the women.tp run their homes on an efficiency basis pust as any business is operated.
 According to information gathered by
 members of the department of justice the conservative buyers are not buying any thing they can do without. but there are large number of new buyers in the field many of whom have become rich as result of an investment in oil or stock who are buying the things now that they never had before.
 ''The large wages are in way re- sponsible for the high cost of living> said Miss Strauss. 'The Iaborer de- mands increased wages and the manu- facturer gives it then raises the price of the commodity to the wholesaler who in turn increases it to the retailer and he of course raises the price to the consumer. In the end the increased wage does not buy the laborer any more than his wages before the advance was granted Thus the wheel turns and the women if they will can make the wheel turn the other way by demanding moderate price clothes and by making over their last years clothes and retrini- ming their hats. When this is done they should display these things anf that will encourage other women to dc l likewise.
 The reason for the present prices i. | due to inflated currency, brought abou | by the large wages the decrease in thu necessities of life due to the fact tha I during the war all energy was devoted ! to the production of destructive war ma f terial for Europe; increase and> distribu- | ton: public extravaganza, indifference l ignorance and profiteering''
 l She outlined a plan for the organza | tion of the women of Alabama to comba | the H. c. L.. and appealed to the Bir mingham business and professional wo men to assist in this work. Complaint 1 cards to be used when person feel. l that an exorbitant price has been charged | also were provided. Mrs. J. E. Frazie, | iS the city chairman

MISS STRAUSS SPEAKS

Women of Birmingham together With
 the women in all sectiops of the country
 must combine their efforts in the fight
 on old H. c. L., before prices will be
 lowered, declared Miss Edith strauss,
 representative of the woman's activities
 of the department of justice in an ad-
 dress to the women yesterday afternoon
 at the Business Womens Club.
 The only solution of the problem is {, decrease the demand said Miss |sStrauss, and the women who are dong the most of the buying of necessities
 for the home to direct their buying ener- gies to necessities only. If this is done it will force the manufacturers to make
 only necessities and the many non-es- sentials which people are buying on ac-
 count of the inflated money conditions will give way to necessities"
 She spoke of the women knowing lit- tie of the values of the things they bought and that merchants all over the country had told her that the women refused to buy anything cheap even though it was of good quality, but in- sisted on buying high price goods think ing it must be the best as it cost more Miss Strauss appealed to the women not to judge materials by the price, but te study these things just as a business man studied his business, for the wo mans business was that of buying fol I the family.
 She referred to the "save on meat" weel | in Washington recently and how the peo l pie clamored for the hind quarter O the beef Judging from the way they I treated the matter a person would have | thought the hind quarter had been fed l on clover and the fore quarter on tir cans she declared It is just such thing: as this that increase the cost of liv- | ing, said the speaker. and in the ma jority of hotels cheaper cuts of meat well prepared are served more often thar the best cuts.
 Save on meat" week will be held ir Birmingham April to April 10.

Federal Officials Discuss High Cost OF
 LiUing Before Local Clubs and Merchants
"No One Has a Right to Set z Price-It is Up to the Merchant to Give His Gus toners the Benefit of His Wise Buying"

Howard Figg, assistant United States attorney general was the chief speaker at the regular Kiwanis lunch yester- day to which members of the Civitan, Ro- tary, Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations had been invited. The attendance was large.
 MT. Figg in reply to questions asked by members said that the department had ruled that profits should be based on cost values and not on replacement values In his address the speaker said that he thought the peak had been reachd in high prices and that from now on there would be a gradual decline.
 had the opportunity of talking with President Wilson and the president had said that the campaign against high prices had now reached point where the most important thing was not to get prices down but to get them down gradu- ally instead of bringing them tumbling in such manner that the whole indus trial life of the nation would be upset.
 MT. Figg said manufacturers had been telling the retailers that prices were go- ing to be still higher next winter than during the past winter but that there al- ready were signs that this would not be the case. This result is due to the fact that accumulated money, savings and lib- erty bonds have been disposed of so gen. orally to meet conditions that from this time on people are going to have to live on their incomes. And people cannot keep within their incomes and go on pay ing the prices which have been prevail ing" he said He expressed the belief that no one was more eager than mer- chants themselves to see prices come down, not to pre-war figures, but to a more reasonable basis
