Two Days of Drive Result In Getting a Third of
 Total

Although only two days of the drive bers set by the local post of the Ameri- can Legion to be secured during the week has been one-third secured. ac- cording to the estimates at headquar- ters of the post in the rooms of the Civic Association.
 Reports from the various general and team captains show that slightly more than 600 men have been secured in the first two days of the drive. This number was estimated with reports from a number of teams lacking.
 At the meeting yesterday a con- ference between the four generals, Judge Wilkinson, field marshal, and some of the team captains and work CTS was held.
 Today it is especially requested that all team captains be present at the headquarters at noon and turn in their report for the two days, if they have not done so. Those members who took out buttons and cards and who have not yet made report on them are also requested to be present.
 The first army under the command of George Lewis Bailes was the most active yesterday, securing the great est number of applications. The Fair field detachment under Joe Yates, also made a large report
 D. c. Yarbrough, Jr., secretary of the post, has opened an office in the lounge of the Civic Association. He says that though the drive is now on he wants the members of the post to come in and get acqua inted.

East Lakes Bathing
 Leads in Popularity

Reports from the management of East Lake Park to Commissioner Ellis Brown show that for last week the bathing beach alone took in the sum of Sl,1S6.
 Commissioner Brown stated that this amount for one week broke all records for this -rnmer. The report also shows th- 1tner attractions at the park got a good share of the business during the past week.
 Many people living in that section of the city take dip in the lake every night after they get home from work. Several Sunday schools have already had their annual summer picnic at the park, and the bathing beach seems to be the most popular attraction.
 Box office records at the bathing beach show that an average of about s75 to 800 daily is taken in during week days, while on Sundays the gross amount taken in is around the $500 mark

AMONG FEW CITIES 10 GET CHEAP GAS
Rates Indicated for Bir- mingham Below Cost to
 Most Communities

] Based on actual figures of the prices
 paid for gas in practically every city, | Birmingham will have cheaper fuel gas whent it adopts by-product gas than any other city in the south. except those that ! have the advantage of natural gas, ac- cording to information compiled by C. L.. Harold, secretary of the Civic Associa- | tion.
 1 Numbers of inquiries have been sent by
 MT. Harold to other cities in the effort to ! find how the price that Birmingham prob ably will have to pay for gas compares with the rates elsewhere. The Jacksonville Fla Chamber of Commerce furnished the information that the Jacksonville gas company had just been notified that they would have to pay
 a 100 per cent increase in the price Of gas oils after August l, making an in- crease of 400 per cent over the pre-war price. Based on this fact, the gas com pany of that city has made application for increased rates to the consumer, ef- fective August 1.
 The Nashville Commercial Club stated that the Nashville gas company was pfe- pairing a petition to submit before the public service commission of Tennessee asking for an increase of 40 cents per ,o0o cubic feet bringing the price up to the total of S1.70 per 1000 cubic feet. Miami and Tampa Fla, both indicated that they are paying B per 1000 feet. Columbia, s. C., will soon ask for an increase according to the civic bodies or , that city The present price is $i25 per 1000 feet.
 New Orleans is paying sl.30 per l,OOe cubic feet Chattanooga, which has adopt ed by-product gas, is paying $l.lO. At
 lanta is asking for increase over the
 present price, which is more than Bir-
 minghams.
 According to MT. Harold, the CIVIC
 clubs are uniting with the city commls-
 sion in the effort to secure for Blrmlng-
 ham a price below $l. This will glve
 Birmingham the cheapest gas in the
 south except in those cities that have
 natural gas.

LONDON, Jan. 2--The position Of

er In South Russia, daily Is becoming
more critical. Reports. received by the
war office show that his retreat is con-
tinulng along. virtually the whole of his
6Oo-mile front, and that the Bolshevist
drive against his center, with the pur-
pose OF cutting his army III two, has
brought about a critical situation.
The BolshNvih advance guards have
reached the Donetg coal basin and are
less than loo miles from the coast. This
basin represents the richest mineral

the reds would be Of inestimable value
