Sometimes it is man and wife, then it is one woman, two women, then a man. but they come and go this way all day, and there is no time when several interested home-seekers are not to be found studying the exhibits. Often they take chairs and make notes of what they see, besides asking min ute questions of the men in charge of the exhibits.
 TILE EXHIBIT
 The exhibit of hollow tile made by the Roper-S r-Straus1Ferst Co. and that of the new Slag Tex brick and tile, manufactured by the Birmingham Slas company, in their Ensley factory, just erected, draw constant attention, be- cause, in each instance, the finished structure is shown. The hollow tile is built into walls, showing both interior and exterior finish, and the slag Tex is built into handsome man tel with the tiling complete as it would appear in a Birmingham home.

WHAT THEY SAY
By BILL THOMPSON

The question was: What do you think of the proposal to open up Nine- teenth street so as to divert some of the traffic from South Twentieth?
 Where asked: Here and there about town. "a
 The answers were:
 Fred Landis, abookkeeper, Lovington Furniture company: T think the idea would remedy the traffic situation in Birmingham. There is too much traf- fic on Twentieth street. when Nine- teenth street is just as important, and would be used as much if it was opened through to the Southside."
 Miss Stacey, Roberts, stenographer. Birmingham Printing company: Tt is the only main street or avenue downtown that is not opened. and I think that it spells the layout of the city and also is part of the cause of the traffic congestion.''
 H. c. Davis. auto mechanic. North Birmingham: T think it is an .excel- lent idea. There is too much traffic on South Twentieth street and also on South Twenty-first stret. The opening up of Nineteenth street would decrease this traffic. third on tho other two streets and would also re- duce the possibility of accidents''

TIRE SERVICE CASE ID COME UP TODAY Local Company Ayers Lack of Consistency In Enforce
 ing the Law

Birmingham's laws prohibiting Sun day tire service have been "spasmodi- cally and partially enforced" according to comnient in some quarters at the city hall.
 Charges are made that orders have gone forth to enforce the law strictly one Sunday and orders for relaxed wig day.
 The attitude of the depa tment of public safety has been characterized as inconsistent and unfair by Hunter Watkins and Truman Morrison of the S1 Tire company, who will come before the commission this morning to demand an investigation of conditions regard ing Sunday service. The matter was brought to a head last week when charges were made that Commissioner Taylor had instructed police officers to destroy appearance bonds in connection with Sunday tire services cases.
 Messrs. Morrison and Watkins declare they will be able to tell where the bonds are. They say the papers have not been destroyed.
 Considerable spice is promised at the meeting of the commission this morn- ing when Commissioner H. P Burruss sponsor of Sunday tire service. begins his argument for Sunday service. It is understood MT Burruss will make some very forceful declarations regarding the attitude of other members of the com mission.
 Meanwhile John H. Taylor, commits sioner of public safety. around whom the S1 Tire company has raised their storm, declares he has nothing to say until the meeting. today.
 The case of the tire company. which came up in circuit court yesterday, was postponed until tomorrow morning. This has to do with violations of last summer.

.BESSEMER FURNACE. FIRES UP, RESUMES
 MAKING PIG IRON
Market Still Dull, But Supply vanishing-0rders for Quick DeIivery-New Factors
 Are Appearing

Responding to a condition more fa- vorable for operations, the largest stack of the Woodward Iron company at Woodward, near Bessemer, resumed operations yesterday, the furnace be- ing fired during the day. It is now making pig iron.
 This is the first furnace to resume following the closing down of the ma jority of them few weeks ago. The Woodward Iron company shut down all it's furnaces and practically all mines. Ten days ago coal mines at Mulga and Dolomite resumed. Now one blast fur mace has resumed.
 NEEDS STOCK
 Resumption of iron making at Wood ward issued from two causes. The com pany, during the nonproduction period had worked its stock of iron on hand down to a quantity inconsistent with modern furnace practice. Besides, the company had gradually accumulated respectable tonnage of new business. Resumption followed as matter of sound business
 The iron market is still sluggish
 and no operator contends that it is
 otherwise, the principal business
 being small lots for prompt ship
 ment. But it is noticeable that
 every man who orders iron wants
 it right now. Another feature of
 the iron market is the continuous
 entrance of new customers or those
 out of the market for some time.
 This, the operators say, indicates
 that more and more foundries are
 running out of pig iron.
 AT 60 PER CENT
 The Tennessee company is operating about as it did last week, when it re- sumed at the Fairfield blooming and plate mills. This raised operations from an average of 50 per cent ca pacty to one of 50 to 70 per cent ca pacity. Other plants in operation are the blooming and rail mills at Ensley, and the ship and car material plants at Fairfield, besides the guide mill in Bes- semer.
 T. c. l. blast furnaces in operation are five at Ensley on basic, one at Bes- semer on foundry and one at Bessemer on ferro manganese.
