What population will the 1920 cen sus give Birmingham?
 This is a matter of much interest at tho present time and many and varied are ;hc opinions given. the majority of gue sses being in the neighborhood of 210.cGU.
 It is pointed out by several promi- nent citizens that If the population does not reach the 22o. 900 mark 1t will be a great disappointment. as the city has grown very much during the past ten years.
 Postmaster R. B. Smyer stated that in his opinion and judging from the work of the mail carriers and the amount of mail handled the popula- tion will be between 205.000 and 21O,- eco. r.. II. Dryer referee in bank ruptcy was of the opinion that 1t would be about 2n0o 900. while C. l.. Harold, secretary manager ot the Civic Asso- ciation. estimates that Birmingham will have about 210.000.
 The consensus of opinion of men who hava lived in Birmingham since the lot0 census is that the population will not exceed the 210.000 mark. although some of the more optimistic feel sure that it will be at least 220.000 If every man, wc1nan and chile Is enumerated
 The ast census gave Birmingham 13e,sS5, and it is pointed out that if the c!tv is accredited with 10000 this will be an increase of 17315.
 It is estimated by residents of Bes- semer that the Marvel City will be accredited with approximately 10000 population by this cersus. as the last census gave that city approximately 11.CCG. Since that time Jonesboro has been taken In the c'ry. The Bessemer district which includes Brighton, tow. with populat'on of 1900 by the ;as- census. was about 1T.000 in 1910 and 1t is expected that this has large ly increased during the past ten years

 ssJusf about running neck and neck, | guess" remarked Mir. Hood. .I understand they have been Go- ing good business in the mar riage license line down in the probate office. but our business in divOrces has shown n big increase since Christmas. Last year, sc- cording to the figures which were published, the marriage licenses were more numerous than divOrces. there being about two licenses is- sued to every divorce case filed.
 sNOw the marriage business has sIumpcd to about seven daily, and we are getting just about that number of divorce cases. It looks like something will have to be done to keep people married after , the ceremony Is performed. I can't account for the big number of di- vOrces, which is constantly in- crensinG. guess it is due to the war. That's the reason assigned for everything else that has gone wrong for the past few years"
 Among the divorce suits filed month Is one where the marriage licenses were only issued in De- cember.

On the three most important uues- tions which it will shortly be called on to decioe the City Commission is about as communicative as man with lockjaw. What our municipal dads have to say about the controversy between the schoo! marms and the possibilities of their ob. taining an increase in remuneration or about the milk and plumbing ordinances which have the Hoistein tenders and ths dirt purveyors in the air can be ex- pressed by that figure closest resembling a doughnut.
 The boys simply won't open up. The plaintiye appeals of the tutors, accom- panied by the sympathetic murmurs of the populace, have of course elicited from the "comm!sh' admissions that teachers are worth more than they receive, but those admissions contain no promise of relief or suggested plans for remedying the situation.
 The Magic City's executive quintet are planning to go before the voters with 5-mill tax, which they declare is neces- sary in order to pay the interest on bonds already authorized for school buildings. a city hall library, auditorium and for bringing the police and fire de- partmeHts up to a maximum efficiency. No provision has been made nor contem- plated, so far as is known, to use part of the proceeds from this tax toward in- creasing the salaries of teachers.
 5-mill tax will add approximately $500, 600 to the citys revenue. the distribu- tion of all of which mad been arranged for prior to the movement for increasing teachers salaries. So it would seem that if the teachers are given a raise frtm the proceeds of this tax. means for ob- taining additional revenue must be ar ranged. Knowing this. and approciating the plight of the school marms. the com mission is at loss to know which way to turn.

UNDERWOOD AND
 MUSGROVE FORCES PREPARE ID START
 SENATORIAL RACE
Hooper and Johnston Out. line Plans to Senator Un- derwOod In Washington.
 Foster Appointment
 Considered Clever
By LEON c. BRADLEY

The senatorial campaign, prosecuted as siduously for several weeks in the quiet recesses of the conference chamber, is about to be transferred to the open arena.
 The appointment of Judge Henry B. Foster as state campaign manager by L. B. Musgrove and the conference in Wash ington with Senator Underwood, attended by Lloyd M Hooper, state chairman of the Underwood forces, and Forney John- ston. unofficial representative of the junior senator. indicate that the real ac- ton is about to begin.
 Judge Foster, upon his acceptance of the position of director of the Musgrove forces, immediately began to map out his plans for the campaign Upon his re- turn to the city from Tuscaloosa the latter part of the week decision will be reached as to the location of the head quarters in Birmingham, and final selec- tions will be made of many of the county managers.
 Chairman Hooper and MT. Johnston, who conferred with Senator Underwood about the campaign, went over the final draft for the actual launching of the fight. Since his appointment several weeks ago MT. Hooper has been busily engaged making a study of the situation. He has surveyed the field, conferred with Underwood leaders from over the state and has mapped out the plans along which he proposes to conduct the cam paign.
 MT. Johnston, always in perfect touch with the political situation, assisted MT. Hooper and Senator Underwood in reach- ing their decisions regarding the launch- ing of the campaign and the selection Of the various managers and assistants in the race.
 Despite encouraging reports from over the state, every plan was made. as good political plans are always made, for a hard campaign Nothing, it is declared, is to be allowed to go by default. Every issue is to be met, every county and every beat is to be canvassed. Aggres- siyeness is to mark every phase of the

BIG PARADE PLANNED

Three thousand Shriners of BlrmlnS- ham, throughout North Alabama and elsewhere will be in waiting on twenty fifth street and Sixth avenue and pa- rade will be formed at the Terminal Sta ton to march down Fifth avenue and through the heart of the city. A platoon of police on horseback will head the pa rade and the City Commission, the Board of Revenue and escort will ride in deco rated automobiles. The Nobles Will be on foot. The Shrine band the Boys In dustrial School band and one of the largest of the city bands. together with the drum corps ot Anniston, will furnish music.
 A number of stunts" wild animals, floats and other features will be given in the parade. When the head or the procession reaches the Tutwlier, on Twentieth street, the imperial potentate will be escorted to a seat on the gallery in order that he may review the parade. Immediately after the parade he will be taken on a ride about the residential section of the city.
 The reception, following a dinner, Will be given at the Tutwiler.
 It will be one of the greatest affairs given by Zamora Temple in long while. Montgomery Shrine will send big dele gation to Birmingham, headed by DaVlo Crossland, who is a member of the impe- rial divan. to escort the imperial poten- tate and divan to the capital city the next day.

HOOPER AND JOHNSTON BACK

With the return of Chairman Hooper and Forney Johnston to Alabama this week the appointment of the vice chair men is to be made and the selection of county managers is to begin. While the campaign directed from state headquar- ters will be thorough, it is planned to make the work of the county organiZa tions even more so
 ferson county To this fact more than any other may be credited the location of the state campaign headquarters of Senator Underwood in Montgomery. Jeff ferson county, with it's tremendous vote. varioi.sly estimated at from 25,OOO to sAVp in the coming primary, will play vital part in the result of the campaign. The location of state headquarters in this city would, in the opinion of the Underwood leaders, overshadow the county organiza- tion. The natural tendency of the lead CTS would be to consider the state as a whole rather than the county. The work in the county would not be so thorough it is believed as it will be if the state hea duuarters are located in Mnntoomerv
 There will be two separate Underwood organizations in Jefferson county, accord ing to present plans, In Birmingham will be located one which will conduct the fight in the city and in the eastern and northern end of the county. In Bessemer will be another and independent organi- zat;on which will have charge of the con- test in Bessemer and the southern and western end of the county. weil-known and influential Bessemer man is to direct ba J2eceamar fOrcpS
