from the Republican, as well as the
Democratic. side and Senator Lrnroot

ment to accept uncontested committee
amendments to the original house

proposed changes to some administrat-

Amendments to be offered by the
Democrats, Senator Simmons said,

There was some discussion of a tax
on the undivided profits of corpora-
tlons held SO as to avoid payment Of
revenue to the government. Senator

no effort would be made to pass q law
which would force corporations to dis
tribute their profits as dividends, as
TINS would tend to prevent them from

a slump.
Senators Simmons and King, Demo-
crat. Utah. said there would be no dis
position to enact such a law, but that
some means should be found to prevent
corporations from evading the payment
of taxes. Senator Smoot said he did
not think there would be many concerns
which would make enough in the next
several years to have any considerable
suFpus left after paying regular div-
dends
Among amendments offered to tho

publican, Oregon, proposing to reduce

fractions of the amount paid.

PARKING OF AUTOS Is
INJURY TO BUSINESS,
SAYS F. M. JACKSON

One of the problems confronting
the people of Birmingham, and espe-
cially the commissioner of public
safety. at the present time Is the
parking of automobiles, according to
Fred NJ. Jackson. Mr.. Jackson de-
clares that the increase OF automo-
biles here has been SO rapid that the
present arrangements for parking are
not adequate, and that In many in
stances serious injury is done bust
ness firms under the present system.
1T is essential that the streets in
the business section of the city must
be freer of standing automobiles than
they are at present" said Mr.. jack
son. "One of the chief sources of
trouble Is caused by people coming
downtown to their offices in the
morning and leaving their cars
parked all day until they are ready
to go nome in the evening
"ybe present system works an in
justice on people who have business
in that section of the city and are
thus prevented from stopping any
where within reasonable walking
distance while their business is
transacted.
"Of course this matter cannot be
regulated without some inconvenience
to Some people, but we must all rec
ognize that this is serious problem
and must be worked out for the
greatest good of the greatest num-
ber."

MATINEE TODAY
Wonder Play of Spectacular
Beauty at the Jefferson
This Week

In 'Chu Chin Chow" that play of
spectacular beauty now at the JEFF
ferson for the entire week, with mat
inee and night performances today.
it is interesting to note that there
several new ideas used in stage
management. Most of these produc-
ton methods of this wonder play
have been imported from London,
where "Chu Chin Chow" is In its
third year OF its success.
In preparing this production of
"Chu Chin Grow" the London original
production by Oscar Asche has been
faithfully copied. The two new in
ventions-which will unquestionably
revolutionize stage management and
other productions in America-must
properly be credited as the inven-
tons of Mr.. Asche.
The first idea, that of the small
or closeup" view of a scene through
shutters that open and close a small
aperture in the drop curtain, can
best be described as a variation or
adaptation of the familiar CLOSE up''
of the moving picture. The camera
itself is suggested by the shutters
that open and close, giving the effect
of what is known in movie parlance
as a "fade-in" and fade away"
The drop curtain of black velvet
fails. and the stage is darkened. Then

CHANGES IN STREET
DEPARTMENT. MADE
Commissioner Dickson Makes
Plans to Increase Efficiency
of the Department

Preparations are bling made by
w. E. Dickson, commissioner OF
streets, to move all street equipment
from the municipal garage to tbs
shop on December /. BY this move II
is believed that the street department
will have a sufficient amount OF
money to put on another foreman
and street crew, which is expected
to be of great assistance, as this de-
paftment will do all the repairing OF
streets.
In addition, district will be es-
tablisbed at West End, just as is
maintained at Ensley, North Birming-
ham and woodlawn, and a man Will
be placed in charge of the street
work there. Heretofore the work at
West End has been handled through
the city, and 1t is stated it will be
much more satisfactory to the resi-
dents of that section of the city to
have a separate district.
The force Of street cleaners will In
future be put to work at IL O'Clock
at night and between the hours OF IL
and 1t Is believed that the work can
be done more efficiently and with hall
the force as the streets will be cleared
of all traffic at that time. Accord
ing to the present plans, the streets
| from Morris avenue to Eighth avenue
north. and from Seventeenth to TWEEN
ty-sixth streets, will be cleaned every
night. 1t is expected that more ef-
ficient work will be done under this
plan.
Before the municipal garage was
established all street equipment was
kept at the city shop, where all re-
pairing was done, but when the ga
rage was opened all equipment was

"THE BARRICADE,, BIG

The Barricade," William Christy
Cabanne's super. wonderplay, which

Those who have already seen THE

rived at this verdict.
Founded upon the premise that
genuine loYe and human understand

preachment against the evils of big

One of the means by which Mr.. Ca

man, author of the famous novel,

point is the deep affection that OBJ
tains between Jacob Solomon, a
kindly old. Hebrew, and Michael
Brennan. an elderly Irishman, who
are business partners when the story
begins. Solomon. at Brennan's death,
takes the latters' son, Robert, and
rears him as his own

CURVE AHEAD" AT TRIANON

Rupert Hughes picture. Dangerous
Curve Ahead" is the story of trim
ity of love of husband and wife for
one another and the love of children.
With touch as light and def as that

presents a panorama of modern life
that is thrillingly real. unbelievab bly,
humorous, searchingly true.
Married life is just one dangerous
curve after another. how can they be
rounded without crash? In his re-
markable story Hughes makes these
curves cleverly and lightly and with
very deep insight into human

judgment of human nature.
