REJUVENATE BUSINESS TASK KIWAN.S TAKE
 ON FOR BIRMINGHAM
Cannot Expect to Sell if You Do Not Do Some Buying Is Motif of New Campaign Now Under Way-Club
 Officers Express Their Views Subject
By WILLIAM THOMPSON

Wise spending, wise saving and confidence in the future will save this country from a, great business set back during the next 50 days"
 That is the statement of W. j. Adams, president of the Birmingham
 Kiwsnis club, who is working with other officials of me organization to bring about greater business activity throughout the country.
 The public has gone on buying strike because it is afraid of the fu- ture. Because they are afraid of what may happen two months from now they are refusing to buy anything that they can get along without" contin- uedSMr. Adams.
 People are living in two and three rooms with two and three families in one house simply because they are afraid to build a new house, and they them believe that rents are coming down.
 ''The cost of every form of building fiAtSIldl tiaS never pcSil ChtdpcT, the past three years, than 1t is at the present time. Building activities have doubled in the past six weeks. But these people who are going ahead with their building are people who remain cool-headed under all condi- tions. They are the people who will reap the benefit from their invest ments in the end. Simply because they are able to see that business can and will be good if the public will make 1t so.
 ''The future of business, both in Birmingham and throughout the country, rests with the public. If you do not buy a mans merchandise he cannot buy yours. It doesn't take a business man to see that; it's just common sense"
 c. N. Wiley, secretary of the Bir- mingham Kiwanis club, says the local organization is firmly behind the movement originated by the Kiwanis clubs of the. United States to try and promote better business conditions in the country.
 My line of business is lime, ce- ment, brick and other building ma terials," says MT. Wiley, and the activities of this line during the past

NAVY RECRUITING IS
 TO START UP AGAIN

The signal gun to start re-enlist- merits in the navy was fired today ir the form of telegram from the bu- reau of navigation to the officer in charge of the Birmingham navy re- cruiting office. authorizing the re-en- Iistment of ex-navy men.
 They were discontinued January 10, except for men re-enlisting within four months from date of discharge This suspension in recruiting was due to the controversy in Congress of re- duction of the navy personnel A bill was introduced to reduce the author ized strength of the navy from 143000 to 100,0 ,000 men. At that time the navy had a strength of 132,0O0.
 The navy department was not to be caught with more men in service than were authorized by law, or more than would be provided for in the appropri- ations and immediately stopped enlist ments and began weeding out less de- sirable men in first enlistments All substations in the Birmingham dis trict were closed when enlistments were stopped.
 Lieutenant Commander A. G. DibreiI officer in charge of the Birmingham office. said this morning. after reading the bureaus telegram, that he believed the navy had again successfully wealth cred the storm of criticism to which subjected at each change of admins tration. The American people are realizing more and more the impor- tance of an adequate navy, a large navy fully manned and capable of protecting American interests.
 The following ratings of. cx-navy men may re-enlist under the new or. der:
 Gunners' mates, turret captains quartermasters. electricians. machin, ists' mates. enginemen, coppersmiths, pharmacists mates.

month. though it has increased, has led me to believe that every one must pull together if business is kept going at a prosperous rate for the good of all the community during the coming season.
 Labor, first of all I think. was the first to notice the change in condi- tions, and where men formerly didn't seem to care whether they worked or not, they are now eager to work, willing to accept most any KInu Of a position, and are putting in 50 minutes to the hour for every hour they are on the job.
 Labor has the right idea by work ing every minute they are on the job. but good portion of the laboring class has gone on the buying strike with the rest of the public. This is like biting off your nose to spite your face. It's a common-sense proposition that if the brickmason doesn't buy anything from the clothing merchant, that the clothing merchant won't have the money to pay me for building a house for him, so then I won't have any money with which to employ the brickmason."
 W. A. Steadman of the Southern
  Der of the board of directors of the Birmingham Kiwanis club, says;
 Birmingham people are no differ ent from people in any other part of the country The public everywhere seems to be afraid of something which they have an uncertain knowledge is going to take place. Prices have come down almost to pre-war level. These prices came down in about six months when they went up inch by inch for about four years. The result has been ar awful strain upon merchants and business men. They have had to meet new conditions daily, and, to top 1t all, they have had a buying strike.
 However, I think the buying strike is about over. A general depression coming in between seasons is likely to cause the public to let up in their purchases. Spring styles and fashions are just now coming in, and these, I think, will help to loosen things up a bit.
 .T'he public, 1 think. is beginning to realize that to cut off their buying is to cut off their source of employ ment. For money must be kept in cir culation for everyone to get his share
