 his address tomorrow night at the Civic
 Association Birmingham will be the fo-
 GUS of attention from several Alabama

 ment for more and larger savings asso- citations.
 The Civic Association has received word from the Chambers of Commerce in Sheffield and Gadsden and from bank CTS in Decatur advising that they will be on hand to participate in the open forum to be addressed by MT. Kicks on the subject, How to Solve the Hous- ing Problem
 The Civic association in promoting this state convention. which will be open to the public, is receiving the CO., opera ton of the Birmingham Real Els tate board and the executives of the four local savings and loan associa- tions. The housing committee of the Civic Association. under the leadership 1 of Chairman T. J. Crittenden, is doing I all possible to arouse local Interest in this occasion.
 l The committee has found a lack of capital to. finance the building of more Ihomes In Birmingham In large numbers. They have reported that. outside of the loans by life insurance companies the | greatest hope for new capital to go into Ihomes Is through the enlargement of | existing building and loan associations and the organization of more of such I institutions.
 l The chairman of the meeting will be { F. W. Dixon and addresses of welcome will be made by Dr. N. A, Barrett. pres ! ident of the city commission, and by President B. H.

 CASTING MACHINE

This en- ables the production of pig iron free from sand and slag and. as the com pany states, metal of uniform size and dependable on analysis"
 The former custom was to cast the molten iron in sand. Under the new system the metal is cast into a steel conveyer operating on an endless chain and the metal does not come in contact with foreign substance that would cling to 1t or enter into it.
 The iron will be so cast that the in- itial "A' will be imprinted on each pig and the Clifton and "Etowah" brands of the Alabama company will not be confused on yards where various irons are carried with other iron.
 The Alabama company is now over hauling ono of its Gadsden plants and will soon have 1t ready for operation in ease 1t is decided to increase the pres ent rate of production.

it was up to the former service men if
 it was to be put over in real Birming-

 Some of the men have the idea that
 if they attend the parade that they will
 be the only person there to represent
 their company or division,' said Mir.
 Bradley, but in this they are mistaken.
 Hundreds of men in every division will
 be there, but we want every ex-service
 man, in Birmingham in the parade. so
 that there will be at least as many as
 there will be Red Cross nurses and men- bers, national guardsn1en and high school cadets and others who are sure to be in the parade
 GOLD STAR MOTHERS Judge Horace c. Wilkinson stated that he firmly believed that every ex- service man would be in the parade if for no other purpose than to show re spect to the Gold Star Mothers, who will review the parade. Judge Wilkinson also stated that every ex-service man that he had spoken to yet had promised that he would be on hand.
 ]. J. Jackson, chairman of the decora- tion committee, reported that his com ! mittee had completed arrangements so ! that every post and wire and building on | the downtown streets would have the American and the flags of the all :! lied countries attached to them. MT.
 Jackson also stated that the work of putting up the decorations would be started tomorrow.

LITTLE CHANGE IN LUMBER MARKET End of Declining Market In Soft Woods Is Reached,
 It Is Stated

The impression prevails that the end of the declining movement in soft woods has been reached with the excAp- ton of some grades which went ab- normally high Stocks are low in local retail yards, hence there is greater in- terest in the market
 The American Lumberman of Chi cago says:
 The lumber market has shown very little change this week. and it is be. coming increasingly evident that the end of the declining market in soft woods has been reached. Prices or some grades, boosted abnormally higl by the shortage last spring. are stil somewhat out of line and levelins process. whereby these prices will set tie down to the natural spread between prices asked for the different grades is to be expected.
 While careful study reveals that retailers have not increased buying to any extent there is to be noted great CT interest in the market on the par of buyers and a larger volume of in quiries. Retailers almost universall, have followed the policy of letting theil stocks run down. While there has no been Keen retail demand. a goot deal of lumber and other building ma terial has been sold and as a resul stocks are getting considerably below normal
 Reports continue to come in iron different sections of the country tell ing of the reduction in prices of lum Der by retail lumbermen. One largt retail concern has set aside. surplu. and in order to stimulate the demand 'and assist in building homes it vii sell lumber at a loss. using the reserve fund to take care of the losses"
