WHAT THEY SAY
By BILL THOMPSON

The question was: What do you think of the recent announcement of the Rockefeller institute labora- tories in regard to experiments made in increasing human life and of the announcement of pr. Alexis CarreL who says that he has the heart of chicken in test tube which has been beating steadily for the past IF years?
 Where asked: Here and there about town.
 The answers were:
 Edward Atchison, 626 Randolph avenue, West End: Tt would be a great thing, I suppose, to be able to live about 200 years, and espe- cially if at the end of the first hundred years they could bring back youthful vigor. Here's one that wishes all the luck in the world for the experiments."
 pr. B. C.. Robertson, Empire building: "Old age might be a blessing to some people, and they might desire it, but others would rather be healthy a sort time on this earth than live here a long time and become so old they could hardly move about. It will be long time yet, I think, before there is any successful method of in- creasing the length of life"
 Agnes Winters, actress. Bessemer' 'AOld age wolud be wonderful thing in my profession. I think that everybody hates to grow old. and just imagine the fun one could have if they could stay young a hundred years. think the experi- ments are just wonderful, and hope they are real success"

BOARD MAJORITY APPROVES zON|NG
 PLAN FOR ENSLEY
City Attorney Drawing ReSoIu- tion-Adoption Expected at Meeting Today-No Few
 Oppose Measure

Opposition cropped out in the ranks of the city commission toward the present plan of meeting zoning prob lens, when H. P. Burruss, commits sioner of public improvements, de- clared the property rights of citizens were being infringed upon under the system now in vogue.
 The city commission by a vote of 1 to 1, yesterday afternoon authorized Fred G. Moore. city attorney, to draw a roso- lution making Ensley avenue, from Fall mer station to Helena station, on both sides of the street, a residential zone
 BURRUSS OPPOSED
 Commissioners Barrett. Brown, Horna- dy and Taylor voted for the motion. with Commissioner Burruss opposing. The commission adjourned until this aft .ernoon at 2.30 o'clock, when the resolu- tion, drawn by the city attorney. will be presented.
 The meeting yesterday afternoon was one held as an adjourned meeting from the session called at noon yesterday.
 Two motions were before the comnis- sion for disposition, following a visit to the neighborhood which was the scene of the zone fight. One, offered by Com missioner Burruss, asked that the mat ter be held up until general plan is worked out. The other, offered by Com missioner J. Ellis Brown, asked the adoption of a resolution making the neighborhood in question a residential zone.
 THE QUESTION
 The question involved was whether a store building for the Hill Grocery com pany should be erected at the corner of Etowah and Ensley avenues. Although the matter was not brought out yester- day, another building was involved, it was declared. B. P. Mims. owner of the property where it is proposed to erect the building, was represented by Attorney J. c. Hall who presented two petitions, signed by about 35 residents of the dis trict affected, urging erection of the building, in order that the store might be installed for their convenience
 Commissioner John R. Hornady spoke in favor of the zoning proposition, as did N. A. Barrett, president of the com mission.
 MT. Burruss speaking in opposition, de- clared the present system of handling matters placed citizens in the position of not knowing what to do with their property

MOORE HOLDS CITY
 CAN TAKE DOLLAR
 FOR AUTO PERMIT
Police Instructed to Arrest Those Who Refuse to Pay. Not a Revenue, But Mu-
 nicipaI Privilege
Main szs,

Legality of the $1 license fee charged each driver of motor vehicle, with the exception of those who have obtained chauffeur's license, was upheld in an opinion rendered yesterday afternoon by Fred c. Moore, city attorney.
 MT. Moore's opinion is based on the measure being an act of regulation, providing for the public safety under the police power of the city, and not revenue measure.
 MEASURE UPHELD
 Argument of the right to exercise police powers of municipality has been upheld in other states. where cases similar in every phase have been taken to the supreme court. In Mississippi in the case of Ben F. wasson of Green vile vs. the city of Greenville an ap- peal was taken from the circuit court of Washington county which had ruled the fee of sl for driving permit legal. Justice J. Holden rendered an opinion in which he upheld the right of city to charge such fee under the police powers of the city. being tax on tine personal privilege to operate motor vihicle The license fee is held merely incidental.
 Meanwhile, citizens will be arrested for failure to provide themselves with permits after the time limit expires. April 1, it was stated at the city hall. If they want to take the matter to the courts, that is their privilege, MT. Moore declared.
 ARRESTS CERTAIN
 Arrests of pedestrians for violations of the traffic code will commence next Monday morning. Commi issioner Taylor declared. Thespolice department is de- termined to cut down the danger of &C., cidents.
 New safety zone platforms are now being constructed by the city. to be placed on corners in the business dis trict. They will be lighted by cleo tricity at night.
 New semaphores will be installed at corners in the business district soon. orders having been placed by D. k. Me Kinley. city purchasing agent. These semaphores will be lighted with green and red lights at night.

 to Make Improvements

Three new water pipe lines are iaso to houses in Birmingham each day. and that, I think, is an excellent ex- ample of the growth of this wonder ful city"
 That was the statement made by W. R. VoorhLs, a special representative of the Birmingham Water Works company, at the opening of his ad- dress at the Birmingham Real Estate board luncheon yesterday afternoon at the Southern club.
 At each of my visits to this city l am more than ever impressed with the wonderful opportunities here. This is the most business like city in this part of the country, and if l lived in the south at all I would live in the Magic City"
 Mir Voorhis, in his address to the members, explained that the half million dollars worth of bonds which his company was planning to issue at an early date would all be spent for increasing the facilities of the water works plant here. He also stated that he was not trying to create mar ket for the bonds but was trying to get the general public to take an interest in them as they were an un- usually good investment.
