DELEGATES SEEK SUFFRAGE RIGHTS Rainbow Division Urged to Aid Residents of istrict of Columbia Secure
 Vote

Delegates from the District of Colum- bia Chapter, Rainbow Division veterans, will ask the indorsement of petition urging the adoption or d constitutional amendment empowering Congress to grant representation in. House, Senate and electoral college to residents of the District of Columbia at the meeting of the Rainbow division this morning.
 Edwin J. Stubbs, who heads the dele gation from Washington, stated last night that a well defined fight was on to remove the injustice of taxation without representation" and that he be- lieved the residents of the District of Columbia would soon be given the right of suffrage. Others of the delegation are William H. King, Morris Dow and they are working diligently among the dele- gates to secure the indorsement of the petition which follows:
 Your petitioners respectfully repre- sent:
 ''The 437.000 Americans of the District of Columbia constitute the only com munity in all the expanse of the con- tinental United States-populous, intel ligent, public spirited of adequate re- sources-which is denied representation in the national government.

FAIR RENT BOARD
 TOMEET THURSDAY
City Commissioners Appoint
 Board to Investigate Rent and Housing Problems

Seven persons who have agreed to serve on the Birmingham fair rent and housing board will meet at the city hall Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. A per- manent organization will be perfected. The committee will then get down to the investigation of the housing problem and any unwarranted increases in rent.
 The City Commission of Birmingham voted few weeks ago to establish a fair rent board consisting of twelve persons. This committee was to investi- gate reports that undue prices are being charged for rent and also to make a detailed study of the housing problem.
 Twelve persons were appointed by Dr. N. A. Barrett, president of the City Commission. Seven accepted the ap- pointment, the other five declining. At the meeting Thursday it will be decided whether the board will consist of twelve or seven members. It is probable that an effort will be made to secure five other persons who are willing to serve as members of the board.
 Dr. Barrett announced the appoint ment of the seven members or the board as follows: Mercer Barnett. Arthur Crowder, David J. Davis, Dr. C. c. Dan- ie A. T. McWane, R. E. L. Connolly and Charles ]. Allison,
 Meetings of the board will be held from time to time probably every week. The meetings will be public and any citizen may appear before the board and make any complaint as to alleged high rents or housing problems. The complaint will be taken up and thoroughly investigated by the board. If any unfairness is found the fact will be reported with rec concentrations to the City Commission.

NEW RECORD FOR
 RECRUITS MADE
 AT LOCAL STATION

Apparently effected by the spirit of the Rainbow convention the army re- cruiting station of Birmingham hung up n new high record for the week ending Saturday. Sixty-nine recruits were ac- cepted This is twenty-three more en- listments than were ever received in one week by the local station. e
 This increase is attributed by Col George Saffarrans to the increased pay and other inducements now being offered by the army According to a graphical chart prepared by Colonel Saffarrans recruiting in Alabama has gradually risen for several months. For the week ending March only seven enlistments were received.
 Recruits received yesterday were: J. T. Taylor, Ozark; Sidney E. Smith, Clio; Marvin Fisher, Russellville; Walter B. Hammond, Fl Paso, Tex; Hazell S. Heater, Lexington, Miss; James D. Chil- ders, Enterprise; Richard Lockhart Crews; Paul T. Phillips. Mobile; Grady McCary, Landersville; Andrew Fucker, Brighton; Charles s. Everett Pensa

tive basic right of the American citizen -in a government of the people by the people for the people-in government which roots its justice in consent Of the governed--in a representative gov ernment which inseparably couples taxation and arms-bearing as soldier with representation.
 Since the 4570O0 Americans of the district pay national taxes, obey nation- al laws and go to war in the nation defense, they are entitled on American principles to be represented in the na- tional government which taxes them, which makes all laws for them and which sends them to war.
 We urge most earnestly the adop- ton of a constitutional amendment granting or empowering Congress to grant representation in House, Senate and electoral college to residents of the District of Columbia. (See House Joint Resolution No Il, House Joint Resolu- tion No. 32, and Senate Joint Resolution No 52), and ask that chapters of thls organization urge upon representatives, and senators in Congress from their dis tricts action to this end

COL. SCREWS MEETS
 NEW COMMANDER

Hello Colonel!' was the saluation of a young private as he greeted Colonel William F. Screws, commander of the le1th Infantry, Rainbow division, in the lobby of the Tutwiler hotel yesterday afternoon. Eli Thompson, the boy, was a private in the 167th Infantry and after Colonel Screws had patted him on the back and told him how glad he was to see him again, the men begun to dis cuss some of the incidents occurring dur ing the late world war dwelling on the carload of eggs which the company re- ceived by mistake. This brought forth much laughter and in a rather timid way the young private apparently just remembered something he had forgot ten. Calling to a bashful young girl standing near in the lobby, he said Colonel, I want you to meet my new commanding officer" Colonel Screws greeted the young lady graciousIy and declared that he was willing to surren- der his place to her as he knew she would make splendid colonel and ad- vised her to insist upon the private obeying orders.
