JUNIOR CLASS SCORES IN
ssTHE MAN OF THE HOUR"

A political play that would tax
the acting of professionals was
most creditably presented by the
Junior Glass Of the High school in
the school auditorium Wednesday
night. THE Man of the Hour
Alwyn Bennett, was well character
lied by Maxwell Merritt, who was
particularly gdodt when, as fhe
youthful mayor, elected by the
ring because they thought they
could manage him, he turns them
down and upholds the interests Of
the borough which he heads.
Woodford Helm as Scott Gibbs,
the scheming boss" was excellent.
He achieved a mature look, and
his acting supplied additional at
mosphere to the piece.
Otto Bebber as the cheerful. idle
gilded youth, Perry Wainwright,
was provocative of much mirth. He
had the audience with him from
the first word, and probably in
stilled more humor into the part
than was written originally.
Miss Helen Grunsfeld appeared
very charming as Dallas VAIN
wright, with whom the Man of the
Hour was in love: and was most
natural in manner.
Miss Fay Strong made a mother
Of whom any man might be proud,
and the part of Miss Cynthia Gar
rison, which was taken by Miss
Edna Upper, was attractively
played.
The double scene in the last act
was we'll done and gave most
decided "air OF the city"
The special office scenery was
made by boys of the high school
manual training class.
Altogether it was most inter-
esting and well received perform
ance and the young actors were
awarded generous applause.
Next High School Play.
The next High school play will
be the opera, Miss Cherry Bios
SOM, which will be given on jan
uary IA.
The Dramatic club play. will be
given early in February.

'LEVEE BREAK CAUSES ONLY LIGHT DAMAGE, ENGINEERS REPOR T
By Associated Press

New Orleans, April 19.-Although dis turbed by reports of the overflow of Bayou Sara, north of Baton Rouge, ! through the breaking of a mud box and the breaking of the levee below Buras. near the southern extremity of the Mississippi river levee system engi- neers in charge of the situation tonight were inclined to believe that damage would be comparatively light near the breaks and that no other weak spots would develop.
 All the inhabitants of the little town of Bayou Sara were safely removed to St. Francisville shortly after the crevasse occurred. There are no culti- vated lands in the path of the water which has been pouring through the break.
 Exact causes of the break below Buras have not been established. The levee was newly built Workers expect to be able to tie the ends of the break 10 keep it from spreading. A large ter ritory planted in truck and rice would be damaged in the event of a widening sof the crevasse. The fresh water also would flood thousands of acres of oys- ter bottoms on its way to the gulf
 Slightly higher crest stages were pre- dicted by the weather bureau.

For the Good of
 the Community

FRESH paint and clean premises make avery deep impression on strangers. The city that has freshly painted houses and clean streets and yards puts good taste Tn the stranger newly arrived and when he goes away he spreads the news. He makes good advertising agent for the city, regardless of whether he ever ex- poets to return.
 What impression does a stranger pass ing through the city on any of the rail- way lines gain of Birmingham? Does he see house after house painted and the yards and streets clean and inviting?
 Suppose the citizens of Birmingham should make tour of the section trav- ersed by the various railway lines enter ing the city Would they be pleased with the appearances? Would they say that Birmingham is a city beautiful?
 A plan is being worked out by state- wide organization which has for it's pur- pose the repainting of all houses in Ala bama, whether they are in city or coun- try. Prizes will be offered to be award ed to the city showing the highest per- centage of newly painted houses at the end of a specified period.
 The plan, as tentively outlined, pro- vides for rivalry among the cities of the state. The prize money will be raised in the cities. Birmingham, for instance, will offer prize of $100 to the person in An niston who, at the end of the contest period, has the most attractively painted house, and the city of Anniston will offer similar prize to be awarded to the win her in Selma, and so on until every city and town in the state is represented in the giving and receiving of prizes.
 Paint manufacturing companies, it is said, have intimated that they would put up most, if not all of the prize money. Whether they do or not the rivalry creat- ed by such a contest would result in mak- ing Alabama homes the most attractive of any in the country.
 Outsiders passing through the state would be attracted by the neat and new appearance of the homes, and they would go back to their homes talking about the people of Alabama. It would be the best advertisement of the state that could be made. It would be the cause of bringing thousands of strangers into the state to make their homes
 From Boyles to West End from Wood lawn to Powderly, from Ensley, North Birmingham, Elyton and all the other outlying districts into the city proper, pas sengers on the trains pass house after house that looks as though it had never known the painters brush. Some of them are unsightly shacks, few repulsive to the man or woman of esthetic taste. If, these are commented on at all it is be- cause of the bad impression they create Birmingham is looked upon as dirty, un- attractive city.
 Birmingham has had cleanup weeks that did not result in much cleaning-up. It is not because the people prefer dirt and litter in and about their homes, but because of their carelessness or thought lessness.
 Why not. start paint-up campaign and see if better results would not be ob- tained. Certainly no harm could come of the effort and some good might result.
 People are judged by their appear ances and the appearance of their homes And 50 are cities and towns and the rural
