JOHNNY, GET YOUR
 GUN"-MAJESTIC

The most laughable comedy of the season IS now playing at the Majestic theatre, Johnny Get Your Gun" with Sam Park as Johnny.
 Johnny is a cowboy from the west, who strays into New York society inn personating the missing brother of Janet Burnham. Janet has turned down Bert Whitney to marry Duke Moor. The duke is a fortune-hun and Johnny sizes him up quickly, and shows him Up in a very unfavorable light
 When the duke tries to e1ope with Janet, Johnny lassos him from the run ming automobile, all done on the stage. Incidentally, Johnny falls in love with Jordon s maid in the home of his sup posed -toEbe sister and they are mar- ried. The play is screaming farce from start to finish, and Sam Park when he grows 'mournfu" certainly demonstrates vocal talents hitherto un- suspected of him. Mae Park plays Jordon. and is perfectly charming in d maids uniform of gray. Doris Bonita as Janet is excellent. and Jack Mott as the duke makes the most of very clever role. Jack Lane plays Bert Whitney and does some very attractive acting in this roie.

BIG SISTERS DRIVE
 MAKING PROGRESS,
 REPORT COMMITTEES
Speakers Organized and Are Ex- pIaining Plan of Movement In Downtown Stores-Aged
 Women Active

Speakers have been organized for the Big Sister drive and each day are appear ing in the various large department stores explaining the purpose of the campaign. The employees of the various department stores have joined together and purchased life membership in this organization. The committees are continuing their house-to- house canvass of both residential ard business districts, and are making splen- did reports to headquarters at the Civic Association.
 When the drive closes it is believed that sufficient sum will be on hand for the purchase of buying a home where young girls might live for a small sum. Ac- cording to the plan this institution will be more like woman's club, and 1t IS probable that it will be located close to the business district and given some name
 Mrs J. D. Kirkpatrick, chairman or the membership committee. declares the home will be purchased as soon as suf- ficient funds are secured and that men and women of Birmingham are con tributing most generously to this cause.
 One of the most interested workers m this membership drive is an old woman 72 years of age, who is untiring in her efforts to secure 100 per cent membership to this organization in Birmingham.

SECTION OF AVENUE
 "G" WILL BE PAVED
City Commission Grants Petition of
 Residents to Pave Avenue

Residents of Avenue G., between 18th and 27th streets, appeared before the board of city commissioners at their ses- sion yesterday morning and petitioned that the avenue along the stretch men toned be paved.
 They said that over fifty per centum of the residents were in favor of the pro- feet, some nonresident property owners could not be reached, they said, some ex- pressed indifference and only ten percent objected.
 Commissioner Henry Page Burruss,
 after the petition had been submitted.
 said the project. was eminently desirable and requested favorable action by the other members of the board. The petition was granted and the city engineer in saructed to take the necessary steps to- ward having the improvement put through.
 The commissioners advised that the city engineer look into the matter of hay ing Avenue G paved between Fifteentf and sixteenth streets also, for though thu abbuta' 'ng property occupiers along tha way are negroes, many of them poor, i is held that the full stretch should b' paved.
 The mater is to be taken up at once.

LOOMING UP OF RAIL STRIKE SEf> s CORN
 ON STRONG UPTURN
Oats Followed It's Ally, Corn, for Good Gains, While Provisions
 Were Up 12 to 50 Cents
By Associated Press

Chicago, February le.-Corn made steep continuous upturn in price to- day, chiefly owing to scantincss of re- ceipts and to prospects of a railroad strike. The market colsed strong at 77sc 10 4sse net higher, with May SIPS F to s1.255s and July sI.251s to s125ss.
 Oats gained 1%@1%e to 2Ac and provisions 12e to soc
 At first opinion among corn traders was divided as to the market effect of railroad strike, but there was com plete unaninity that the emergency measures taken to hasten the crop movement had so far failed. .Advices indicated that country shippers who had been clamoring for cars were no longer anxious to obtain an immedi- ate outlet for grain and instead pre- ferred to risk indefinite delay in the hope of return of higher prices. Bull ish sentiment. was considerably aug mented in the last part of the day as a result of fear spreading that the lack of adequate supplies at primary cen ters would assume ah acute aspect in case the threatened railway strike be- came realty. Big estimates of export business in rye and oats tended also to lift the corn market.
 Shorts were in active buyers. Fur thermore. some prominent longs rein stated holdings.
 Provisions rose with grain and hogs despite packers selling of lard.

SUDDEN DROP OF PRICES PREDICTED
At Kiwanis Luncheon Busi- ness Outlook Is Reviewed
 By Manager Grant

The sudden dropping of prices, quicker than would be good for the country, was predicted by F. H. Grant, in an analysis of the trade situation drawn at the meet ing of the Kiwanis club yesterday
 Mir Grant is general manager Of the Delco-Llght plant of Akron, Ohio, and familiar with business and trade condi- tions of the country.
 When the manufacturers and export CTS find near the end of 1920 that no one will finance them. owing to the deprecia- tiou of exchange of foreign countries,' stated Mir Grant, there will be tre- mendous amount of goods left here in this country The production for home corsumation will then be far above the demand, and there will be an awful slump in prices
 'The sudden drop will be bad, for the manufacturers all over the country will turn loose numbers of their workers, who will be idle for number of months
 Tt should not be left up to an official in Washington" said Mir. Grant, ito see that the prices of things in general ttHit uON IT. put olOttu CC ASSNtS.~ business itself. A sudden decline or prices is dangerous, it would be far bet ter to have them come down gradually" :" He was enthusiastically applauded by the Kiwanians.
 The general manager of the Delco company was a special visitor to the XII wanis luncheon, as were a number of the delegates and home office men, who are attending the convention of the Delco- Ligkt Company.
 W. F. Feagin, county superintendent or education, of Montgomery, spoke at the meeting yesterday on the good roads bond issue Previous to his talk, MT. Feagin had distributed the literature or the campaign among the members, ana each was requested to wear the button boosting good roads bond issues.
 The question of the Florda-Alabama district convention was brought up at the meeting by A. J. Arrant, district gov ernor of the Kwanians, and a committee consisting of Charles West. Henry Cobb, Joe Loveman and Carl Wittichen was ap- pointed to look after the transportation for the trip to Mobile. Mir. Loveman was appointed chairman of this commit tee.
 The convention it was announced, would be held in Mobile, February 23, and it is expected that approximately fifty Kiwanians from this city will att tend.
