Motion picture directors are human.
They don't like people who are for
ever giving them extra work to do.
fraie feminine stars who demand
doubles" every time the smallest
stunt" is to be attempted aren't exact
ly favorites with the megaphone men.
On the other hand. they'll tell you that
regular girl" like Dorothy Dalton
is a pleasure to make pictures with.
When the script requires the hero
inc to swim from a yacht in distress
tc shore. Miss Dalton dives off the
stern like a Kellermann and makes
the journey before The clicking cam
eras with perfect ease. In "L'Apache"
she played a Partisan dancer of the
underworld. and you didn't blame the

danced on the screen. The sub-titles
called her "the Carmen of the
Apaches". She was exactly that.

HOW TO SEND A MESSAGE
TO A "MOyIFy' STAR

The exciting life of movie" stars
isn't lightened in the least by their
directors. At least, this is Pauline
Frederick's opinion, after receiving a
message from Frank lloyd. who d.
rected her in "The Loves of Lefty"
her latest Goldwyn picture. Shortly
after the picture was finished Mt.
Lloyd was called to the Pacific
Northwest to direct Rex Beach's "The
Silver Horde" From Beilingham.
Wash. he sent a thrilling message to
Miss Frederick. lie wrote a few words
on card, inserted it in an empty sal
mon can. and then had the can solder
ed. The unusual package was carried
south by a returning member of the
company, and when Miss Frederick
first saw II she was afraid to open it.
The card ratified in the can and made
peculiar noises. sa s
80 many people drop bombs in
ones rose bushes or send them
through the mail. Do you think 1t is
safe?" she questioned.

MOTOR TRUCK CONTEST
POSTPONED TO FALL

A combination Of circumstances has
made it necessary for the promoters
of the first national motor truck re-
liability contest to postpone indefi-
niteiy the anticipated demonstration
Of truck reliability which was planned
to circle the money belt" of the
Middle West in June and July of this
year.
For a considerable length of time
the material situation hae been a
serious handicap to all manufacturers
connected with the automotive indus
try. This includes passenger car
makers. truck makers. tire makers.
and makers of accessories Coupled
with this. the switchmen's strike has
created congestion of railroad ter
minals throughout the country which
is not yet relieved and which may
continue for months to come. The
and reaching effect of
the switchmen's strike can be better
when one takes into con-
sideration the fact that the railroad
have 100000 freight care before any
lasting relief in Transportation mat
ters can be effected.
The motor truck which, has given
promise of permanent means of re-
lieving the railroads of the country
has fallen down in its mission through
which are absolutely
out of control of the motor truck
1t is possible. although not prob
able, that conditions will readjust |
themselves sufficiently to permit hold |

WANTS ID CAPTURE THE NIGHT RIDERS
Prohibition Agent Asks Wash ington For Permission to
 Help Stem 0utIaWry

Night riders in Madison county who have been spreading terrior for the past several weeks by threatening the lives and property of gin owners, will be placed in jail if officials at Washington will give the men in my department the power to investigate the situation.' declared N. L. Pierce of the federal prohibition department yes tcrday when he received a letter from gin owners asking for aid.
 MT. Pierce, who is the chief federal agent is in receipt of a letter from merchants and gin owners in Madison county, asking if the federal prohibi-
 ton agents working under his super vision cannot help protect the gins l threatened with destruction,
 The letter stated that the situation , in Madison county is becoming alarm ing and that not only are the gin own CTS afraid of their property being de-
 stroyed, but are fearful lest their lives are in danger
 i The letter informed MT. Pierce that the gins owned by the Kelly brothers ! at Harvest, Bates brothers gin al To- l hey, the E. E. Hackett gin at Harvest and the gin of Walter Blackwell at Elkwood have all been posted with mo- tees by night riders that they mus. close down their gins not later thai october 2o or else take the conse- quences. The men in the federal prohibition doi0rtment are only allowed to en. fierce the prohibition law. But Mir. Fierce has mailed special delivery les ters to Washington and the outcome of whether or not he will be allowed to take a hand in the situation will depend upon the reply from officials at the capitol

PLANNING PARADE
 FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
Balloon Committee Favorably Discusses Idea-Further De-
 veIopments This Afternoon

Preparations are being pushed for the wind-up banquet preceding the bal loon races in the Tutwiler Friday no day night The entertainment commit tee has revealed just enough of the programme to indicate that the gath ering will be notable one.
 As a prelude, big parade, with the contestants as the center of attrac- tion, is being considered. Representa- tives of the several committees last night discussed the suggestion favor- ally, and there is every likelihood that a score or so of handsomely decorated automobiles, headed by several infan- try outfits /and a band or two, will make the tour of the principal streets just before the banquet.
 It is said that at every international race since James Gordon Bennett first set his trophy before the worlds aero- nauts at the Tuileries in October, 1906, one of the most conspicuous of the attending events was monster pa grade. The usage has ripened into a tradition that, It is said. will be fit tingly maintained by Birmingham, There is holiday feeling in the air already and little red fire' seems all that is lacking to complete she setting.

JUDGE FORT NAMES
 STATE COMMITTEE FOR THE CAMPAIGN
Discusses Inside Facts Re- garding Effects to Be Real ized With Ratification of
 the River Amendment

The river amendment, to be voted on Tn the general election No. ?, as it now stands is entirely of a preliminary na- ture and will involve neither the people of Jefferson county nor the state in any expense whatever" said Judge William A Fort, chairman of the state campaign committee, yesterday in discussing the proposed amendment which will enable people of Jefferson county to act in the development of transportation facilities on the Warrior river at the Port of Bir- mingham.
 Tt cannot mean any taxation because the people of Alabama are only being asked to vote for the amendment to re- move the shackles from this county, so that in the future if the people of JansP- son county desire to give county aid to the Warrior river terminals they may do so However. this can only be done af1er sn- other election is held, in which tho people of Jefferson county win participate.
 FUTURE WORK
 It may be that the people Of thts con- ty. five or ten years hence, might ind the circumstances such that they would want the county alone or the county and city jointly to own the transfer facilities as the Port of Birmingham. rather than have them remain in private hands How ecer, nobody is committed to his scheanA of public ownership by voting tor tho amendment November 2. That question can be taken care of when much more deliberation and experience with tho pre1- ent operation of the Port of Birmingham shall have intervened and a separate cleo ton could then be held to test the wishes of Jefferson county voters
 Summing up we are only asking the pie of the state for the right of self determination in the county-the right to help ourselves if we want to ia1er on. There is some doubt now whether tho constitution gives us the right It ia to remove this doubt that the election No venlber will be held.'
 With the appointment of the various county chairmen, the campaign commit tee is now endeavoring to secure beat committeeman for each of these conn ties, and it is expected that within the next few days this will have been ac- complished.
 NAMES ANNOUNCED
 Judge Fort yesterday announced tho following men and women from various points in Alabama who have been secured to serve on the state campaign commit tee:
 John McDuffie, congressman from the First Alabama district; Mrs. John s. T1i- ley, Montgomery; George Steifelmeyer. Cullman; Judge S. P. Dunn, Evergreen; Mrs. A. J. Bowron, Birningham; Sem ator J.

BELGIAN AERONAUTS.
 ARE WAR VETERANS.
Lieutenants DeMuyter and Labrousz Pilot AirpIanes,
 DirigibIes and Free Balloons

l Born in March, 1893, and at the age of
 2 having made $50 trips in the air and acquired a remarkable record as pilot of the free balloon, the dirigible and the aeroplane, is the enviable accomplish
 ment of which Lieut.. Ernest DeMuyter, pilot of the Belgian entry, could boast if
 he cared to, which he emphatically does not.
 Hardly less distinguished is is>aide, Lieut.. Mathieu Iabrousz, graduate pilot of the free balloon, and instructor pilot
 and observation balloonist in the Belgian army during the recent world war Lieutenant DeMuyter made his first flight in 1908, when he was 15 years old
 and when the free balloon was not quite SD free of risk as it is today. | He was graduated as balloon pilot in 1910 and became proficient as an aero
 plane pilot in 1912. During the world
 war he was awarded his diploma as a pilot of the drigible. There are compa- l ratively few aeronaurs in the world today who are proficient in piloting all three classes of aircraft.
 In 1912, when Lieutenant DeMuyter was only 19, he was awarded the grand prize
 O the Aero Club of France for his free balloon flight. In 1914, also, he entered
 the balloon race in Paris, and of the twenty-one contestants in the race he came out fifth.
 My longest flight was from PariS in 1912," said Lieutenant DeMuyter. We started there, crossed Hungary, went over the Carpathian mountains and landed in
 Russia. The French won the Gordon Bennett trophy again that year. In 1913 when Mir. Upson won the international race I was contestant for Belgium" Lieutenant DeMuyter might be a young American like dozens who walk the streets of Birmingham every day. There is nothing lacking to complete the im- pression, not even the sense of humor which often differs from that of the American among people of foreign na- tions. He speaks English rather well
 and tells humorous story with the ease of the American and the Belgian, man.
 ner which few of other nationalities can
 emulate.
 He comes from Brussels the city about
 which the American people heard so much during the war. the city which could laugh to hide her tears and crack a joke at the expense of her conquerors, much to their chagrin and confusion. Both Lieutenant DeMuyter and Lieuten- ant Labrousz have enviable records for service during the four years of the world war.
 | Lieutenant DeMuyter was awarded the
 Cross of the Legion of Honor by the | French government for distinguished | service as pilot and air scout to the 1 conveys of the French navy. Later in the war he was instructor in air service l in the French army for French and | American officers.
 l Lieutenant Labrousz served as free bal l loon pilot, instructor and observer dur l ing the four years of the big fuss. He served on many sectors and~ih many bat l ties. He ranked a lieutenant of engineers | of aeronautics in the Belgian army.

R1O eAlAh llao Ol OO Sl lit Co illSil di
 The Alabama Company will blow
 out of the stacks at Gadsden
 for refining and some rebuilding.
 This stack has been at work n long
 time and needs the overhauling.
 Orders for steel products have
 been received from China and Mex
 ico. The quantity Is not very large,
 but indicates the continued de-
 mnnd for Birmingham iron and
 steel products far afield.
 An order for sanitary iron pipe
 for Mexican delivery, vin Vera Cruz,
 has also been received by a local
 concern.
 Very few requests to hold back iron due for delivery have been made in the south. Far more Of that is reported in the east. Southern founders have had no interruption of operations owing to strikes or other disturbances for more than year, and hence have worked up their full quota of iron. In the east many consumers, whose production was curtailed by strikes and the like found their yards congested with pig iron when transportation became easier
 Furnace operations appear to be ex- cellent. Two stacks of d certain inter- est made cast one day this week in which the entire product ran from 3.25 to 4.75 per cent silicon, which will sell far above the $42 base
 IS WAITING
 The iron market is in a waiting con- dition but operators are not inclined to reduce quotations in the light of the bookings which they have made and the small stocks carried in Alabama and in .the country at large.
 Merchant furnaces of the country are producing about 230000 tons of iron per month. while they have unified tonnage which will require that ca pacity for six months. Stocks are neg ligible Under these circumstances there seems no real reason for much decline in pig iron.
 The leading interest is open for
 business for 1921 at S3S per ton,
 which has been it's base all the
 year. This interest, however, does
 not participate very largely In the
 general market. It requires the
 bulk of it's production for its own
 steel mills.
 Wire mills are busy on the momen- tum lapsing over from past bookings. There is small influx of new business In the-south the cotton situation tenn porarily holds back the country mer- chants and the foreign exchange sit nation holds back foreign business Argentine and Brazil are buying Bel gian wire mill goods because the money of the two countries is nearer the same level and they are not much in the American market for the time being. Oriental and English iron have been appearing on the Pacific coast al prices initiating against Birmingham iron but, if the English coal strike lasts any length of time it will put English fur naces out of business and the demand for Birmingham iron on the coast may be expected to pick up again.
