CLUBS WANT THE
 BALLOON RACES Exchange Joins List of Local Organizations Expressing
 Approval of Event

The Exchange club wants the national balloon races to be held in Birmingham this year. and to that end pledges it's co-operatioh in the movement to secure this big event for the city
 That was the sense of the club as cx- pressed by vote at the regular weekly meeting yesterday. Leon c. Bradley and Wadsworth W. Wood, representatives of the Exchange club on the interciub coun- cil. were instructed to favor tho matter when it comes before the council at a meeting to be held later in the week.
 The advantages to Birmingham from the balloon races in an advertising way were set forth by those discussing the question. It was declared that there was nothing Birmingham could do which would secure such large results in the way of advertising for such small out lay of money. It was shown that the cost of the national and the international balloon races combined last fall were not very great. and the national events will be far less.
