STARVING CHILDREN
ARE SAVED IN vienna
BY AMERICAN CHARITY

VIENNA, Dec. 24.-But for the ar
rival of 900 tons of flour lent by Ger
many and Switzerland, Vienna would
have been breadless this week. AS it
was the government was forced to re-
QUESTION 40 tons of breadstuffs ac-
cumulated by the war kitchens during
the summer, in order to tide over the
crisis.
A considerable consignment of grain
secured in Jugo-Slavia and Rumania is
tied up at various points down the
Danube because of very low water
throughout the Autumn and early ice.
Efforts are being made to tranship by
rail but the car and locomotive short

But for American charity the city
authorities concede that Vienna's
plight bad as it is, would have been
infinitely worse this winter. The
Burgomaster, DR.. Reumann, in appre-
citation Of the extensive American re-
lief being afforded. by various organ
izations has asked The Associated
Press to convey to the American peo-
pie the following Christmas message:
Distress lmpresses.
The distress in which the Vienna
population is living in consequence of
the dreadful war, has highly impressed
the American people.
In Vienna children are starving and
perishing from malnutrition. the sick
cannot be attended in the hospitals
for want of medicines, surgical instru-
ment,s dressing stuffs and other rem
~edies of all kinds; and the mortality
is rapidly increasing among the weak
and old. All these facts have called
up undetermined readiness for help
very touching to the population of
Vienna.
THE American people have created
a number of relief committees for the
purpose of collecting gifts to be dis
tributed among the INDECENT of Vienna
and the furnishing children. The
American government has taken great
interest in this relief work and the
American Red Cross has brought love
parcels of high value in Vienna and
softened the great misery to consid-
cradle extent.

splendid assistance that was shown us

AUTO CLUB WANTS
 DINNER LAW HERE
Lack of Improvement Cause of Much Trouble In Bir-
 Mingham and Vicinity

The Birmingham Automobile Club IS going to make an effort to have the dinner law enforced.
 There is "dimmer" law. but, as the club understands it. officers declare they find it difficult of enforcement.
 Thornton Estes. president of the Auto mobile Club, and club committee will Judge Martin of the municipal court. looking to the taking of steps that will abate the "dmmer nuisance"
 The club is inclined to advocate law that will force the use of the various makes of safety" lenses. In that kind of headlight lens the light which is shed is diffused instead of being shot out, funnel-like and is therefore not as blind ing to the driver of the machine ap- preaching from the opposite direction or to pedestrians.
 MT. Estes said: Tn many cities, the safety lens' law is in optration. The excellence of that law lies in the fact that the violators of such a law advertise the fact wherever their machine is Hence arrests can follow mere inspection of machines, day or night.
 We wish the dinner law enforced, or the safety lens made obligatory as a mat ter of safety. The Birmingham dinner law is not generally observed and might as well not be on the statute books
 The club will also see Judge Martin about enforcing the tail light law It Is reported that many automobiles fail to observe this law and that danger of rear-end collision at night is thus in- creased.
 The Automobile Club is in receipt of an invitation to attend the inauguration oH club at Huntsville this evening

The object of the association will be to back development of Alabama waterway
 at every angle where opportunity offers
 and wherever in the state the opportunity of development is located.
 Murray Brown, chairman of the state
 harbor board, is among those who are advocating the establishment of this as sociation. w. D. Nesbitt. who has been
 a leading spirit in Warrior river improve ment. is another.
 A distinct impetus has been imparted
 the movement by the drive being con
 dueted by the Mississippi Valley Water ways Association to have both demo- crats and republicans insert an inlan1 waterways plank in their national plat forms. Speaking of this matter, Murray Brown says:
 ''The state harbor board expects to have a meeting next week. Primarily that meeting is to discuss plans for the campaign in favor of the constitutions amendment, allowing state aid for port development to be submitted the voters of Alabama, November 1. We are inclined to a short and snappy campaign, con dueted during the month just preceding the election, but we purpose to enter the cdilpdlSu Nllu tie udld WHlCn we SilaAi present the people in well prepared and
 convincing form.
 We are very much interested in the proposition for an Alabama Waterways Association. Our interest in that connec- tion is not with sole regard for port aid, but embraces numerous inland waterway projects of concern to the state.
 The Warrior is not the only navi- gable stream, nor is navigation the only good to be derived. The Tennessee river development is for navigation and for power, and to serve interests of the farm CTS, through the manufacture of low priced fertilizers The Warrior holds out the tremendous benefits or an outlet tO the markets of the world at low freight rates.

With this idea in view they got busy looking over the city for build ing adequate to their needs and away from skyscrapers. Such a place was found in the new home. which is 3 two-story building and which is situ- ated between buildings of the same size. This is the plan adopted by the company to avoid any similar catastro- phe as those formerly experienced by this company. It Is considered coin cidence that the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company should have suffered twice from fires in adjoining buildings and officials of the company are be ing congratulated on the splendid To. cation of their new home

CITY |S GROWING EASTWARD, SAYS
 REALTY DEALER
East Section Has 3S Blocks and 1,520 Shops to 21 Blocks and $40 Stores
 In Western
OF BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Statement May 4, 1920.
 COIDCEC
Both in residence and busi-

Both in residence and busi- ness districts Birmingham is growing eastward. This was the assertion of M. P. Messer of the 1or-Johnson Zeal Etc Company at the weeklJ luncheon of the Real Estate Exchange yesterday.
 Mir. Messer took the affirmative side of the question. Resolved, that Bir- mingham is Growing Eastward"
 Down to figures, Mir. Messer said that there were on the west side of the business district. twenty-one blocks oi parts of blocks on which were located stores and shops of approximately 54C merchants. On the east side, he said there were thirty-eight blocks CT parts of blocks, with the shops and stores of about 1,520 merchants.
 It needed no argument to show that the best residential sections. and the ones which show the most growth are in the northeast and the southeast sections of the city, he said.
 The reason for this was that Bir- m1ngham was literally In pocket To the west the railroads and Oak Hill cemetery pC q damper on the build ing of residences, while in the east there was a clear field for expansion.
 It was the opinion of the speaker
 that it would only be question of
 time before the business section
 of the city would extend from
 Thirteenth to TVventy-sixth streets,
 and from Avenue C to Eighth ave-
 nuc.
 Final plans for attending the con vention of the National Association of Real Estate Bureaus at Kansas City on June were made. Members oG the Savannah delegation will join the Birmingham delegation here and both will go to Memphis where that group will join them.
 Birmingham is going after the trophy cup offered for the best five minute talk by any member boosting his home city. An effort will also be made to secure the next convention for Birmingham. It is thought that this city has a good chance, as in the sixteen years of the existence of the association it has never been held in the Magic City.
