 tive Committee

Preparations are going forward for the organization of a democratic club for women in Birmingham. Members of the committee fostering this movement expect to confer with members of the state democratic execu- tive committee today. following which plans of the organization will be an- nounced.
 The club which will be composed of new voters, will affiliate with the men s club, and will work in conjunction with that organization for the things for which the party stands.
 Realizing that the government of this country Is government by parties, mem bers of the committee stated that the women's club could do more effective work by cooperating and being part of the mems organization.
 This step is being taken to ses ene women who have just been enfranchised interested in party politics and to inn press upon them the importance of be- coming a member of some party in order that they may do more effective work.
 According to plans of the proposed club it will be organized to cooperate with the state democratic executive commit tee. and will be one of the livest organ- izations of the kind in the state, say it's prospective members.

 The Lumberman is. however. inclined to be optimistic as to building opera tons and goes so far as to forecast a period of unprecedented activity in building operations"
 Speaking of this, the magazine says;
 THE STATEMENT
 The United States Housing Corpora ton estimates that the country is shy 5000, 900 homes. The general impress sion that it takes many thousand feet of lumber to build a home is erroneous, for, in fact. the average house as 1t is built today. even when built entirely of wood, will not need much to exceed 12,- 900 feet. If the total number of houses short in this country, namely, 5000, 900, were all to be built entirely of wood which, of course, will not happen there would be required so,oo0, 900, 900 feet of lumber, estimating 12,000 feet to the house.
 "The production in 1920 will proba- : bly, be in the vicinity of 32,000.000,000 feet although more could have been produced had the demand been keen Normally, approximately 2l,0G0 COG, 00( feet are used in home building, and thus if an attempt were to be made to overcome the housing shortage in one year approximately three times the or dinary amount of lumber could be re- quired for building. Therefore it is easy to see why lumbermen are optim- istic and why they believe that the fu- ture of the industry is bright"

HAD NO QUORUM AT WATER RATE MEET Chamber of Commerce Utilities Committee Expected to Act
 at Next Session

The Alabam public service comm nisson has set the case of the Brmin gha m Water Works Company for December G..
 The City Commission and all parties Interested have been notified of the meet Ing and asked to have witnesses on hand The water company in filing it's petition for new rates before the utilities com mission. did not state what rates it ex- pected. but asked that they be fair and equitable. New rates are to be fixed because the contract with the city fixing certain rates now paid will expire on Jan uary |
 The public utilities committee of the Chamber of Commerce failed of quorum yesterday and held no meeting with re- spect to this matter. but intends to do so in ample time before the Montgomery hearing. The committee has no precon- ceived position in the matter. It will de- termine its position after careful and judicial consideration of the equities in volyed.

NO JURY DUTY FOR
 WOMEN UNTIL THE
 LAWSARE AMENDED
Register and Vote, Says Morris. Jury Service Will Be Called For Whether They
 Vote or Not

Registration books of Jeffer- son county will open today in room No. III, courthouse. All electors who have become qualified since January 5 and have not registered before may do so at this time.
 Books will be open only five days closing at midnight on October 36, With the exception of ten days in 1921 the registration books of the county will not be open again until 1922.
 More than 11.000' women have regis. tered up to date and it is expected that this number will be practically doubled during the five days the books are open. Additional clerks have been in. stalled to handle the crowds during this period and the office of the board of registrars will be open from s o'clock a. m. to 6 o'clock D. m.
 Since the registration books
 were opened ou October :, the
 board of registrars have visited
 number of the rural precincts,
 spchuihS lutsuHf hhu yeSScEuay Ut
 Bessemer. Approximately 2.OOO
 women registered there, although
 large number from thnt city came
 to Birmingham to qualify before
 the books closed on September 2.
 NO JURY DUTY
 Many women are not registerins because they do not wish to do jury duty" said M. F. Morris, chairman of the board. This is not the case, for women cannot do jury duty until the laws of the state are amended provid ing for them to do so. When this is done it will make no difference whether they have registered or not, they win be required to serve on juries just as the men are. We feel if this mistake en idea is corrected, large number of female voters will register before the books close again
 "On account of the time being so short in which the law allows us to re- open the books to register the women We will not be able to visit all precincts and all persons living on the car line will be required to come to the court house to register
