QUALITY OF ROAD MATERIALS
Bureau Of Public Roads Seeking infor-
nation OF Especial Value TO
Highway Engineers.

Such important questions as how
hard a heavy motor truck pounds
pavement when going at miles an
hour and at 10 miles an hour are be
ing answered by Investigators for the
bureau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, in d series
of scientific experiments. which. when
completed, promise to be of great val
ue to highway engineers. Already suf-
flcient tests have been made TO show
that increased speed of vehicle
equipped with hard rubber tires tire
mendously Increases the impact which
its wheels make on the roadway where
there is any unevenness. On the other
hand, where pneumatic tires are used
increased speed adds comparatively lit
tie 10 the impact. 1t has been sug-
gested that these tests will be OF
great value not only in settling ques-
tious of design but may also lead to
rational basis for determining license
fees for motor vehicles.
Trucks have been used i'm these
tests varying in size from LION truck

TOM MOORE IN THE ] GREAT ACCIDENT AT LYRIC THEATRE New Goldwvn Feature With All-Star- Cast, One of the
 Sensations of the
 Season

Tom Moore in "The Great Accident" the latest Goldwyn picture, will be the screen attraction at the Lyric theatre all this week.
 The play gives MT. Moore wide scope to display to advantage the great talent critics say he is endowed with, and with an all-star cast supporting him, new laurels are expected to be his.
 '"The Great Accident is interwoven with scenes, thrilling situations and lines that only a few scenario writers. like Ames Williams, can picture.
 The basis of the plot is from Stop, Thief.' the picture that won Mir. Moore great fame, although the plot and sltua- tions are so different that -!le two stories in one way hardly should be clas- sified together.
 In ''The Great Accident the audience has wonderful opportunities to grasp the kind, gentle and sympathetic talent MT. Moore possesses. It also gives each mem Der of the supporting cast his or her ad- vantaSe in obtaining roles that are well fitted for their stage work and brings them all into the atmosphere of realistic and well-adapted parts.
 Among those in the play are Hazel Daily. Irene Rich, Raymond Hatton. Kate Lester, Otto Hoffman and Molly Malone. > The directing hand is that of Harry Beaumont, and some fine touches are shown The story was selected by the actor to entertain the Massillon State Hospital at Canton, Ohio where. Mr. Moore is quite favorite, and it is ex- pected to be received with the same en- thusiasm here.

HOT WEATHER AND
 STILL A HEATING

Some real hot weather is in store for the occupants Of Jones valley today. For the past few days the mercury has been climbing to higher attitudes, and Weather Ob- server Horton snys that the mer- cury will probably stick around the 06 degree mark today.
 The shady sides of the street were very popular yesterday after noon, and soda fountains and ice cream parlors were we'll patron ized.
 About c o'clock last night n light rain fell over Birmingham for about fifteen minutes. But that did not help very much, states Mir. Horton, for wave of torrid heat is advancing and will hold the city in it's grasp for several days to come.
 There will be no rain, says the the weather pilot. Fair and warmer, and spread it on on the warmer part of it, he says, for along toward the middle of the afternoon, when deep breath is is taken, citizens of Jones valley will be reminded of what the hereafter will be for some of us.

 Year Discussed

Outlining plans for the coming year and asking for the loyal support of the alumni Dr. Spright Dowell. new presi- dent of the Auburn Polytechnic In- stitute, delivered stirring address be- fore the Jefferson county division Of the Auburn Alumni Association at the Birmingham Athletic Club last night.

 all the colleges and schools might
 work in cooperation.
 "One of the wonders of the state.
 said Dr. Dowell, has been the ability of Auburn to maintain fine corps or
 teachers on mere pittance of pay.
 The new president spoke of the "Au-
 burn spiritr and stated that if he did
 not have it now he expected to get it in a few days after the opening Of next session.
 In conclusion pr. Dowell stated that he had visited number of land grant and agricultural colleges similar to Auburn in the past few weeks. His purpose was to get ideas that would be of benefit in the advancement Of Alabama's polytechnic school Others who were called on for short speeches were Arthur Crowder. Daddy" Adkins, Thomas Bragg. Prof. Thomas Smith, Dan Martin, William H. Streit and William l.. White. The progress of their alma mater was on the hearts of each one of the speakers.

 State officials believe the case is the most unusual on record in the state, II not in the United States. The board or pardons was unanimous in it's opinion that Long's service was not sufficient punishment for the crime and advised Governor Kilby that it could not rec ommend -clemency.
