MEXICO IS SHORT ON
 SMALL CHANGE
By Associatsd Pros.

Mexico City, January 5.-Mexico is nassing through a bitter commercial crisis as a result of the shortage Of change. Leading commercial houses in the capital, instead of experiencing the usual B per cent holiday increase in business during December, reported sales 15 per cent less than in Novem- Der.
 Without paper currency, the country depends on gold and silver coin and the high price of silver has caused an acute shortage of small change, due 10 illicit exportation and operations of speculators. Money changers are now charging as high as 7e per cent to change gold coin into silver. and it is reported that gold also is growing scarce. Some business houses who tried to use postal and documentary stamps for change found themselves breaking the law.
 Thus far no method of facilitating small purchases has been discovered and according to seni-official state ments, the country will be forced to wait for the price of silver to decline to secure relief. The silver content Of the lower coinage has been cut once during the last six months. but even the new coins are being hoarded for speculation or exported. While the mint has been working overtime for months 1t has been found impossible to keep up with demands

 Home for Girls

The Big Sisters will begin their membership drive tomorrow morning and will continue it for two weeks; Headquarters have been opened at ths rooms of the Civic Association and all day yesterday the chairmen of the various sections have been given their supplies and will start to work to- morrow.
 The Big Sister organization was formed several months ago with more than 200 charter members and already a large number of new members have been enrolled. The committees will make & house-to- house canvass in an effort to enroll every man and wo man in Birmingham in this worthy cause. The organization expects to purchase or build a large home where girls who work and do not live at Tome may live for nominal cost and at the same time haze homelike com ditions. with an efficient matron in charge.
 The members of the womens coun- ell, after thorough investigation into the living conditions of employed girls 1 Tn Birmlngham. decided to establish a Big Sisters home" said Mrs. H. H. shell, and with this idea in view or- ganized the movement We have been most successful up to the present time ana as we are dependent on member ship fees and donations are putting on the drive in an effort to raise $50O00 With which to purchase our home raised and we received a donation os 5000 from one big sister.
 "The need of a home of this kind for young, girls Is being felt more acutely each day. as approximately dozen glrls are turned away every day from the Young Womens Christian Associa- ton. according to the members of the board. With this condition prevailing. 1t is essential that something be done Ii the Big Sisters are to protect the little sisters. and one member of the organization has taken two young girls into her home until they can get some other place to go."

''I was glad to notice that, after the lapse of time, the silence of the city hall was broken, first by the bold and frank df unwisel position of one Of the commissioners who announced his in- dorsement of utilization with the Fed- eration of Labor, then by the superintend- ent of schools, who agrees with me that the teachers should organize independent ly if they chance to do so, but not as an auxiliary to the labor federation
 Tt is gratifying to see at least two of our daily newspapers outspoken on the right line in regard to this matter l have never objected to an independent during the past year, while the capital stock already invested in manufactures here was increased by $1, ,475.oO0 accord ing to a statement made by o. l.. Bunn, manager of the Birmingham Traffic Bu-
 reau, in talk to the Community Club yesterday afternoon at the Southern Club
 bureau. stating it was organized mere than three years ago and now employed nine men, all experts in this line These men look up rates on various commod- ities and collect claims TOT the mem bers and during 1919 the members were saved s25,67459, which amount they were overcharged by the railroads. In three years they were saved SAP, ,4s152. Claims collected last year amounted to Hss,- S54.e3 and during the past three years S1S5, 10S.51 has been collected
 By utilizing the Warrior river ship pers will be able to save large sums in freight rates yearly and by taking ad- vantage of this they are enabled to get cheaper rail rates,p said MT. Bum, in speaking of the long and short haul and freight rates charged. "On 2,1O0 tons Of heavy groceries shipped via Warrior river S27.400 will be saved On 160,00O tons of other material the saving will amount to $200000. Outbound freight on 5O,OO1 cars of thirty tons each at an estimated saving of 90 cents ton will amount to $926, $50 The equipment for the Warrior river is coming and all shippers win ba sure to avail themselves of it's advan- tages when they realize the saving"
 He outlined a plan which is under con sidera tion of having a Birmingham ex- hibit where everything made in this city would be displayed He pointed out that in this way the children would be taught to know what things were made here and that they were good because they were. He asked that committee be appointed later to cooperate with the other civic organizations and clubs in looking into this matter.
 1 On motion of Claude Estes, President James A. Simpson was authorized to ap- point committee of ten to assist the l other clubs of the city in checking the returns of the census enumerators on several blocks when the taking of the census is completed.

 was fearful that the proposed move ment on part of the teachers to affiliate with the Federation of Labor would prove hurtful to the proposition before the voters, and probably destroy the oppor- tunity to strengthen the finances of the school board, hence my call for caution It looks now that others see the proposi- tion just as I do. and there is strong probability of the teachers springing the trap set for them.
