IationS In Communities
About the City

With the addition of 100 new mem
bers Of its rolls during the week
Birmingham's Automobile club now
boasts of a membership of $500.
Charles G. Davis. the president, de-
clares he is determined to make II
5000 before many weeks. This de-
termination also was expressed by the
members of the board, following the
special meeting of Friday when the
100 members were accepted.
Efforts are being made by the clut
to have the speed limit of the COM
munity of Lipscomb changed from
ten miles, as heretofore. to twenty
miles, following numerous complaints
from members of the club and Other
autosts who declare they have been
unnecessarily annoyed as a result 81
the peculiar traffic regulations with
which they were not familiar.
When an arrest Is made at present
at Lipscomb the offending party car
not be tried as the mayor worhs al
Woodward, and the defendant Is re-
quired to come back on the night oil
the following day for his trial, which
almost invariably results IN a con-
viction.
Arrangements now under way with
the mayor and chief of police have ir
view to having Lipscomb adopt such
regulations as will somewhat conform
with those in vogue in other conmu-
mites of similar size, SO as not to
cause unnecessary hardships to au-
tomobilists. and with this end In view
the officials are asked to raise the
speed limit to twenty miles.
Efforts are also being made to OBJ
tain a closer cooperation with the z.
members of the club at Bessemer with
a view of overcoming other obstacles
to safe and sane traffic regulations
in some of the outlying districts OF
Jefferson county, according to James
p. Dobbins, secretary of the club.

This impotence is but another home for the
lack Of thoughtfuness. There is always plenty Of
time for everybody to get on the train if every
body would use the time right.
Planning home is vastly more important than
any journey, but the home is frequently marred
by impatience- lack Of thought in selecting the
site for the home, lack Of thought in planning the
details of the homeAa mad hurry to get into
something with roof over it.
If you purpose to build home of your own
and few normal individuals are without that de-
sire or expectation don't spoil it with inn
patience. First select your lot. Y on can do that
now better than at any time hereafter, because
there are more lots to choose from and because
prices are lower than they will be when building
becomes general as it certainly will
When you have bought your lot, begin to plan
your home. You cannot give too much time and
attention to it.
Then when building time comes you will be
ready. And you will be delighted to see how
naturally the home assumes shape.
