INSURANCE MEN
 ENJOY SMOKER
Mrs. Mary GiIIen and Other Local Artists Provide Fine
 Entertainment

Representatives of the Prudential Life at the assembly hall Of the Hotel Tut wiler last night, forgot all of their pes smistic arguments about the uncertain ty of life while they were highly enter tained for two hours by some of Bir- minghams best local talent. Following the programme cigars and conversation were enjoyed.
 Mrs. Mary Gillen, the well-known en- tertainer, held the closest attention of insurance men with her presentation of folk stories and songs. Mrs Gillen is wonderfully gifted in her ability to read and sing those old southern melodies so popular in every cline. Her most popu- lar story was an account of a negro hangings written by herself Her pie ture of an old negro woman al a pubic execution fairly brought down the house.
 Percy Rosenberger and Albert A. Stern presented a black-faced comedian act which was highly enjoyed. Mir. Rosen- berger, in his own inimitable manner, represented a youthful negro who did not understand fully the intricacies of a life insurance policy. His more learned friend, with Prudential policy in hand, mae it as clear as mud.
 Mrs. J. J. Strickland, accompanied by Miss McNeal, sang several selections which proved quite popular.
 An enjoyable feature was the singins ot a number of songs by negro choir led by J. c. Odum, of one of the local negro churches, who, with a number of his best choir, members rendered Swing Low. Sweet Chariot" and other well-known negro songs and were given hearty reception.

S|EGEL ANNOUNCES
 PLANS FOR ADDING
 5O HOUSE MEMBERS
Abandonment of Plans for Re- vivaI of Force Bill and Ap- pointment of Negroes to
 Federal Offices Expected
By HUGH W. ROBERTS washington Bureau The Ase- -Hereid
 200 paYidson RuiIdlnI

Washington. November 16.-(SpeciaL) Rapidly bearing out predictions con- ] tained in this correspondence that the breaking of the solid south by the republicans, attended by the hope that it would never again consolidate, would 1 remove southern states from danger of punishment by Congress, Representa- tive Seigel of New York, chairman of the committee on the census, made pub lie today plans which would result in increasing the house membership by fifty.
 Instead of basing representation on voting strength, siegel would retain the present basis of population, and would increase the population of the typical district so little that certain southern states would share in the in- creased membership. siegel, in other words, would give a state a represen- tative for every 220 900 poGlation in- stead of 211,OoO, as tpresent This scheme would ~ntitle Alabama to eleven instead of ten members. Until redistricting could be had. the state would be entitled to a congressman-at- large.
 Though his statement contains a re- nunciation of the formerly entertained scehme of reducing representation of
 southern states in forcing southern states to permit negro voting irrespec
 tive of qualification, Siegel declares that his cOrnmittee has been pressed from many sections of the country to proceed against the south, because of tits insistent and defiant refusal to obey the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitutions"
 Tn the wake of the Siegel action, an abandonment of plans for the revival of the force bill and appointment through out the south of negroes to federal of fices, is expected to follow.

ADJUSTMENTS
"BUDDIES" COMES
 TO THE JEFFERSON
By EsTELLE BETHEA HAIL

The play. "Buddies,' is said to be one of the very few and rare productions that have managed to pass a first night in New York without some kind of ad- verse criticism from the famously crit ical New York critics. "Buddies" will come to the Jefferson for Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights and Satur- day matinee after 8. successful run of nine months at the Selwyn theatre iIi New York
 This new play is said to possess all of the sweet vagaries and delicate charm of the popular Peg O My Heart" to which it is compared. It is described as fragrant romance of quaint Brit tany, in which gentle maid of France and an American solGier. who is toe shy to tell her of his love, are the cen tral characters. The name of the pro duction is derived from the companion ship and nominees of a group of Amer ican "buddies' in France. Their Amer can pep and humor are all combined with the romantic story. E. c. Hillian is the composer of the music in the play.

MAY ALLISON IN ARE
 ALL MEN KE?"-RIALTO

May Allison new picture at the Rialto Are All Men Alike?" is not exactly what the public would be led to expect from the most problematical title. Whether all men are alike or not has in fact very little bearing on the story but there is really good basic idea which is best described in one of the subtities to the effect that life is like a huge waffle iron that whether a per- son will or not gradually presses them down into nice flat little waffles just like all of the rest.
 May Allison, as Teddy" is one wno bravely wars against the iron, and at tempts to be herself. Circumstances in the end force her to be about like all other women. and she decides that like all of the others she likes to be kissed after all, and is not averse to Gerald West donating his life and worldly wealth to her-iust as they all do.
 Developing along this line the picture has some good appealing scenes. ''Teddy's attempt to live by herself in Gf eenwich village. and her adventures there are perhaps q trifle improbable with a healthy and wealthy mother and father in the background, but it does go well into proving that it "can't be done.
 As whole Are All Men Alike is a fairly interesting and light treatment of a serious and important idea. Miss AL
 lson dresses very attractively. and some of the Greenwich village scenes are very expressive of the wild and silly Bohemian life

ANOTHER RAILROAD KNOWS PROSPERITY
 IN PRIVATE CONTROL

Reports showing continuous fm- provement in physical operations of the railroads since restoration to private management are coming 50 the front with regularity.
 Operating figures Of the Illinois Central, including the YazoO nnd Mississippi Valley, for October show new record in miles Irav- eled per freight car per day. new record in tons carried per loaded ear and the second highest record in the number of net ton miles of freight handled.
 The record In detail is ns fol- lows;
 The miles per car per .;ay reached 44.50 miles. The previous high record was 44.3S miles, which attained June, 1917, during n period when refrigerator car movement, which has q heavy influence in ear mileage figures, was at its height. That this record was exceIIed in October without the heavy refrig- orator car movement has greater significance than appears upon the surface of the figures.
 The average number of tons car ried per ear was 31.3 in the month inst past. as compared with 30.7 tons in September. 1920, the previ- Ous record in the history of the railroad system.
 The net ton miles of freight han- dIed amounted tO 1,59s,557 ,OOO. This is not far short of the record fig ure of August. 1920, when net tons miles amounted to 1,6OG. 4O6, ,OOO

INVITED TO MEXICO

By A.sne,ated Pres.

Brownsville. Tex. November 16.-An earnest invitation from Mexican of- iicials to go into Mexico during his voyage in southern waters has been taken under advisement by President elect Harding.
 Should he accept, his visit probably will be limited to a short stop at Vera Cruz on his way from New Orleans to the canal zone. He has~been asked to go into Mexico City but is understood to consider so extensive a trip impos- slble because of engagements else where
 The invitation was brought to Brownsville by ESias L. Torres who said that in urging it's acceptance he spoke both for the Mexican foreign office and General Obregon, the Mex ican President-elect
 In an hours conference with the sen- ator, who is spending here the last day of his Texas vacation, Mir. Torres made q special plea that the senator be pres cnt at Obregon's inauguration in the Mexican capitol on November 30.
