MYSTERIOUS CASE
 IN HEART OF CITY Man Found Lying Uncon- scious in Gutter on Sec
 Ond Avenue

In the very heart of the city about 9,45 o'clock last night at Second avenue and North Nineteenth street the unconscious form of a man was discovered lying in the gutter.
 Police authorities have been un- able ta get any light on the situa- ton. Dozens of people were on the streets at the time. yet not one of them had seen the man until he was picked up from the gutter and carried into the drug store on the corner.
 Shaw's ambulance immediately arrived upon the scene and carried the injured man to the Birming- ham Infirmary. A search of his clothes failed to reveal any name. but in pocketboOk in his coat was found over $500 fin money.
 Local police officers who are fn- vestisating the strange case have advanced two theories: First that the man might have been thrown or had fallen from an automobile or else that someone had attempted a bold robbery and had lost their nerve before they could carry 1t out.
 lieve that the man fell down and injured himself, for he has an ugly wound on the back of his head that looks as If he was hit with a heavy hlunt instrument.

 The remedy? There is only one. The city authorities and the people back of them should once and for all nau- gurate and stand by the slogan, None hut the pest We should not admit the idea that we are going to have faulty paving.

SIMPLICITY HOMES
 STEADILY GROWING
 AS FALL COMES ON
In Several Sections of the City Cottages, or Their Equivalent, Are Being
 Built by the Dozen

By November 1 one hundred simplic- lty homes will have been built and oc- cupied in Forrest park and Norwood ' said l. C. Beatty, general manager of the Birmingham Realty Company.
 This company took out twenty three permits for these homes on Tuesday. In the neighborhood of thirty of them have been butt and happy families reside in them 1t is noticeable that in almost everX instance the occupants have gotten busy at once either with flowers or vege- tables, or both. The simplicity of the home appears to have borne fruit III bringing about other simplicities. Most of the slmphcites are also healthful economies.
 From the time The Age-Herald print- ed the first article about the simplicity home, said Mr. Beatty, "the idea has taken hold of the people with growing grip. It has been psychological move ment, than which none is stronger.
 PACE TOO FAST T really believe that lots of people were sick, sore and tired of trying to live at the pace they were going. They pined to begin at the beginning and work up instead of franticaliy endeavoring to keep step with those who could attord more than they could. After one or two had moved into the simplicity homes, others followed automatically. We shaa have domiciled hundred families Tn these homes by November l. What the Birmingham Realty Company is doing in Forrest park and Norwood. the Estes Real Estate and Insurance company is doing on somewhat dltter- ent plan In Beverly Place in West End. The realty company builds the simplicity home on the rear of the lot with view of it's eventually becoming servant $ house and garage, or being moved to the permanent location and added to.
 The Beverly plan provides for a house that is to stay originally put and to be added to whenever desired without any additional cost except that of the pro- posed addition.
 TWO Of these homes have been built in Beverly Place others are under con- struction and architects are completing plans for ca total of about fifty. There have been applicants for all of the homes that are being offered.
 EMERGENCY HOMES
 Out in Central Park they are building what might be called emergency homes There the plan is about the same as that of the Estes company. Three and four rooms are built so that any number may be added as the owner desires.
 In all three plans the idea is to secure as much home now as ones means al- low, but so built that later on, when the family excheauer allows it. the home may be turned into a larger and hand somer one
 Birminghams simplicity homes have gotten into the movies. MT. Beatty said: T have friend who recently visited Hagerstown, Md. In picture show house there he saw a Pathe picture in which was shown the Birmingham sim plicity house with both exterior and floor plan views The legend on the picture, he tells me. was Birmingham, Ala. solves the housing problem"
