ALICE LAKE IN FINE
 DRAMA AT RIALTO

"Eody ~sndl Soul an unusual but ln- teresting photodrama featuring Alice Lake. is at the Rialto. Beginning wish what seems to be a deep attack on the up-to-date subject of psychism and hyp- notism, the picture leaves this scientific beginning to become almost sex-pron- lem play. taking in thes night life of the underworld and the, evil inseparap Die with it. Still Claire Martin. the girl never becomes really evil herself, and she happens upon the circumstances of her plight only through the psychic con trol of stronger mind that wishes to live through her,
 Alice Lake is most convincing and sym pathetic in her performance She is by far more attractive as the girl under the spell of the other mind. for she is so gay and thovghtless and withal So innocent that it is almost resretfuf to see her reassume her own natural self as a rather thoughtful, ambitious kind of a girl.

PRICE OF LUMBER
 IS STILL FALLING
Orders Falling Off-MilI Ex- penSes Exceed Profit on
 Doing Business

Price trend in the wholesale lumber market is still downward, despite a stfght increase in orders from retail yards. The North Carolina pine market shows de- cline of 5 per cent in volume of orders. Hardwood is bought only for pressing needs. The Southern Lumberman says:
 "A slight increase in the volume Of southern pine orders last week did not materially change the aspect of the situ- alton in this market or produce more hopeful feeling among the manufacturers. The price trend is still downward. -ae weak demand and unsatisfactory prices are causing a progressive decline in pro- duction due to the curtailment or suspen- sion of mills that cannot be operated profitaby in the face of existing condi- tions. Retailers are placing few orders, and though they realize the advantages offered by current prices, the dull state of their own business and credit restric- tions prohibit extensive buying.
 "A decline of 8 per cent in the volume of orders was the weeks feature of the North Carolina pine market This falling off in sales came as a decided blow to the manufacturers, who had hoped that the market, because of it's proximity to important consuming centers. would at least maintain the levels reached during the closing days of September.
 Business in hardwood circles has re- solved itself into buying only for the most pressing needs of the present. while con- sumers, in so far as is possible. remain off the market, and watch the trend of prices The dull state of affairs is in- creasing the number of those nanufac- turers who have made drastic curtail- ments in production or else closed down altogether while production, as result, is inordinately light.
 Demand for cypress has undergone contraction similar to that of other woods but, fortunately, this market is to a certain extent free from the price con ditions that prevail in other cities. The weak demand has recently caused slight curtailment of production"

For Good of the
 Community
THE struggling days of Birmingham A are over.

Why not realize on attainment and deck ourselves with more of the ameni- ties and the cultural things of life? Why not get in the habit of seeing if we can not provide ourselve and others with more forms of pleasure, of healthful sport, of the things that refit the tired man and woman for the work ahead?
 The music season opened with compul- sion to place seats on the stage to care for the audience at the opening concert of the Music Study Club. A week afterwards thousand and more persons were denied the pleasure of hearing Farrar, the first offering for the season of the All-Star series.
 All because Birmingham has talked auditorium for years, but has not some how realized it's pressing need. It is not the fault of any individual, but of the com munlty which has failed to develop a sense of this need.
 How much better Birmingham has felt since the season of music, sport and recre- ation set in again first the fair, then the balloonsl The ballocT. races were new to us and we failed at first to appreciate what they meant, but we quickly rallied to that appreciation, pulled them off in fine style and avertised Birmingham and her by product gas far and near
 Next the footballists broke into the arena Another inspiration to get out and frolic. Some one has suggested that Birmingham do more decorating for these big college events Why not? Whats the use of doing anything half way? Why not all catch the spirit of fhesc eve-, ts and share the bucyancy of the young fellows? They are ours.
 There is Idlewild Park, broad do- l-7in of more than hundred acres on th1 cry edge of the city and touched by car line There are splendid springs on it and woodland and lots of open spaces for baseball diamonds and tennis courts. Very little money would bring that into service for tens of thousands of people, The way to it is short and through pleas ant part of town.
 The municipal band is in the right di- rection. Poor as Mexico is, every city worthy the name has one Why not little money in that direction as we'll as for gar bage removal and police protection? Keep people happy and there is not such need of police.
 The town that is big in business is big in the entertainment of the masses and in the spirit of sportsmanship. Baseball fer vor in Birmingham is tame affair com pared with baseball obsession in other cities. Cincinnati accorded it's pennant winners of 1919 such welcome as trium- phant kings might have e'envied.
 Australian colonies have given the civilized world many lessons in soundness of government and regulation of the great necessities of the people. In Aus tralia derby days and the like are holi- days in which the entire population par ticipates. Whole families come from afar to witness the event and share the na- tional spirit of sportsmanship.
 If boys like sport and young girls like dancing, it should not be forgotten that men and women are only grown-up chil- dren.
 A merry place; place where men and women unlimber and laugh and make cheer Birmingham can be that just as soon as it's people say so.
 Yours for upbuilding,

THE MAN WHO CAME BACK" COMING TO JEFFERSON,

Has a man when he is down and out really got chance to get up in the world again? Some man has said Il at they never come back.
 This is the theme of The Man Who Came Back" Broadway success which will be at the Jefferson theatre for four performances, beginning Thurs day and lasting through Saturday and with a special matinee Saturday.
 It is claimed that a baseball player, once he loses his nerve that he is -one. It has been said that a fighter, CT ce that he gets a good beating, is lever fit again to enter the ring.
 But in The Man Who Came Back William A. Bradys success which will come to Birmingham Thursday, there is young man who has been raised Up among all the luxury that money can buy. Then, just as he reaches man. hood, he is turned out into the world without a cent just because he has been weak
 He sinks into the deepest mires Of sin. Then one day he meets girl in Chinese opium den, who has sank as as low as himself, but in those peculiar surroundings they join hands and there begin the fight that will take them back.
 How they made their way back, step by step, until they were recognized ty their former friends and how they lifted themselves until they were sd- mitted into his fathers house, makes one of the most interesting and enter taining dramas that has been seen at the Jefferson.
