a distinct Improvement over the pre-

WARDEN CLOVER IS
 WORRIED ABOUT THE
 SCARCITY OF GUESTS

Warden, Charles E. Glover. of the city jail is worried and it, is all because the occupants of the "city hostelry" are be- coming fewer and fewer
 The number of prisoners have fallen off to such an extent lately that there is not enough to make up street gang. Worst of all. Warden Glover cant get hold of two "colored'' office and door boys.
 Since his return from the Shrine War den Glover has been thinking over the problem, The city needs a street gang he needs couple of trusties around the office, then again he wants enough work in order to hold his job. The city also has on hand a large amount of brown peas and corn meal
 Here's the warden's solution of the vexing question. He proposes to put the proposition up to the city of purchasing Victrola and placing the same in the city jail. Furthermore he expects to pur- chase a number of .jazzy" records for the entertainment of his guests" during waking hours.
 Wardens Randall and Puckett have concurred in Mir. Glover's suggestion and it is expected that the chimes of 'Alcho- holic Blues and other blues will soon be bursting through the ron bars ol the jail
 The keepers of the city jail expect their number of guests to increase as result.

 first convention city of the Alabama Federation of Rural Carriers. This con

 ably be delegates to the convention. The Rural Carriers were the last of
 the four branches of the postal em- ployes to form union. The postoffice
 clerks, the railway mail clerks and the city carriers have been organized some time. These three organiZa tions, with the rural carriers, form an as- sociation that serves the postal em- ployes as the American Federation of Labor serves organized labor. There has been some talk of becoming af- filiated with the Federation of Labor, and the question will probably come up for discussion today or tomorrow. The convention will be called to order this morning at 1030 o'clock in the ballroom of the Hilman hotel by the president, T. o. Spraggins Bir- mingham will welcome the delegates to the city through pr. N. A. Barrett R. E. Smyor, postmaster will also speak this morning.

CUTTERS RUN WITH
 ICE CREAM AS BIG
 TRUCK TURNS OVER

Ice cream for Sunday dinners was prob ably missed by a number of people when big truck of the Furnas Ice Cream Company turned over at Avenue F and Eighteenth street yesterday morning.
 According to persons who saw the ac- cident, several gallons of ice cream was scattered in the middle of the street. A number of spectators gathered around to see the frog 'onpure cream melt under the hot sun and run off q milky liquid into the gutters.
 The accident was caused by a collision between the topheavy truck and an auto- mobile driven by a negro. J, O. Walters, the white driver of the truck, escaped with slight injuries when the truch turned over. He was carried to the Hill man Hospital, where his injuries were dressed. The negro driver of the auto mobile was Lninjured.

SHORTAGE OF COAL SERIOUS MENACE
Many Industries Shutting
 Down Through Lack of Coal States l.. Sevier

''The travelling which I have done in the past sixty days" said l.. Sevier, president of the Alabama Manufactur- CTS Association, "and keeping in touch with our membership in thirty seven counties, has impressed upon me the danger threatening our industrial life through the lack of an adequate supply of coal
 "A day seldom passes that this office is not requested by manufacturers to secure enough coal to keep them from shutting down, and there are few in dustries in the state today which have more than a forty -eight-hour supply of coal on hand.
 Several factors have contributed to this distressing condition, the most mo- table of which are the closing of mines on account of labor and other condi- tions and the shortage of cars which has been accentuated by the preferen- tial order issued by the interstate com merce commission allowing the rail- roads the privilege of the first use of cars to haul coal to supply their own fuel needs. The railroads must be kept in operation, come what may, and I am not criticising them when I call atten- ton 10 this preferential order, but cit- ing it as one of the evidences of the acuteness of the situation
 With our industrial life already seri- ously menaced and with the health and comfort of our citizens at stake when cold weather approaches, it would seem that it is high time for us to wake up to the situation and for thoughtful men to begin endeavoring to work out so- lution. l have no remedy to suggest. but l have observed that whenever a community awaken to peril there is concerted action which results in re- lief.
 T will say, however. that if a war measure was ever justiffable when there was no war, it is today, when the conditions which l have pointed out y;e+

GIRL CAUSE OF NEAR
 RIOT ON RACE TRACK

Race track" hounds got a severe jolt Saturday afternoon.
 Hot, the weather man said that the mercury had sneaked up around the 96-degree mark. but there were many that did not believe him.
 Every one seemed to be sweating and shopping.
 Cute little creature sne was. Chic, you know, lips on straight and every thing.
 She came out of Jazz parlor on the Third avenue side of the track, and started on the home stretch.
 A traffic cop woke up and began looking. Everybody else seemed to be doing the same thing.
 By the time the girl reached the cor ner there was enough people behind her to make the hot-headed mob of sev- eral weeks ago look like a basketless picnic.
 The crowds seemed to open up like magic before her. Then every one promptly fell in behind.
 She stopped at the corner and fa- vored the town clock with a glance. She had evidently started to look at her own watch. but then she decided not to.
 You could have heard a pin fall on
  neat white slippers. But the stock ings. or rather. socks, proceeded up her l-anlle only about six inches.
 The top of the under-sized socks missed by about two inches of mak- ing connection with the edge of the pretty pink skirt.
 Around the top of the socks was woven the prettiest strip of lace that ever graced the counter of five and ten cent store.
 A ball park street car stopped at the corner. Many people suddenly took a deep interest in Moley's crew of league leaders.
 The girl started toward the second trailer of the lucky ball park car. Many others also started in the same direction.
 Then the crowds saw-well-
 As she stepped up into the rather high trailer the crowd saw-that is, part of what they saw. was tiny watch held in place by the pink rib- bon in the top of her right sock.

The Glorious Fourth
 Is Quietly Obserued

Though yesterday was sunday. it was still just "The Fourth, to large number of people. who ceIe- brated the day according to it's significance to them.
 In spite of the nature of the day and strict laws by the city, the day opened with scattered popping in various parts of the residential sections. They were the boarded firecrnckers left from the meager supply of last Christmas.
 With the excuse, .Irs the Fourth" many people passed by the church, and packing lunches in the family car, left the sweltering heat of the city in search of cool ness in the. open country. Hun dreds of these parties took in West Lake park. Edgewood. and East Lake. while many more went farther from the city in search of a quiet, sheltered spot to spend the day.
