COMMITTEE WILL
 DISCUSS DOG LAW
Modification of Dog Shooting
 Ordinance Is Object Sought By Committee

Drawing of recommendations to be sub mitted to the city commission in an eff fort to obtain a modification of the pres ent dog-shooting ordinance will be at tempted by the committee of five at a meeting this morning at the city hall.

Hornady. commis- sloner of health and education; Hugh Scales, president of the Birmingham Ken nei club; Mrs. w. N. Wood, president of the Birmingham Humane society, and Dr. H. M.

CITY FEATURED IN
 VALLEY MAGAZINE
Official Organ of Mississippi Association to Have Bir-
 mingham Issue

Birmingham is scheduled for an issue of the Mississippi Valley Magazine official organ of the Mississippi Valley associa- ton.
 William Hayhurst of the St. Louis of- fee of the association is in Birmingham for the double purpose, of preparing Bir- mingham data for the forthcoming edi- tion of the magazine and securing mem berships in the association.
 The Mississippi Valley association is backing the inland waterway develop ment of the country at large, and is es- pecially watching out for the preserva- ton and expansion of the transporta- ticn system row being given a trial on the Mississippi and Warrior rivers.
 The association is also solidly behind the Muscle Shoals development, and not only has not given up that fight, but in- sists that it is to be won in the near future.
 The association Is directing campaign for 5000 members in order to swing tkese numbers to the aid of the represen- tstives of the 27 valley states in Con- gress in their effort to secure legislation that will enable the inland waterways and the southern ports to continue the development that has been begun, and to preserve them from attack of antagonis- tic efforts.
 Mir. Hayhurst has headquarters at the Chamber of Commerce.

VERNAL EQUINOX
 BEATS SCHEDULE

An event occurred yesterday which only happens twice year. The day and night were equally long. for it was the date of the vernal equinox.
 Although the equinoxes are popular ly supposed to fall on March 21 and September 23 of each year, marking the date when the sun is on the equa- tor. there is a little joker called the precision of the equinoxes which throws the date either backward or forward At least. that is what the astronomists tell -ns
 This year, due to this same peculi- arity of the universe, the vernal equi- nox fell on March 26. Next year. it is supposed to fall on March 21.
 7 The procession of the equinoxes, the thing responsible for the upsetting of our suppositions regarding the equi- ties, is the motion of the equinoxes along the elliptic. due to the change in the direction of the earth's axis of TO- tation, caused by the attraction of the moon and sun on the protuberant equa- torial ring of the earth.
 Because of this procession proposi- tion, it is an astronomical fact that the euunoxial points, where the equator and ecliptis intersect each other. one be ing called the vernal point and the ether the autumnal point and all the other points of the ecliptic arc con stautly moving backward and forward.
 Violent storms. known as equinoxial gales, are supposed to be prevalent about the time of the vernal and au- tumnal equinoxes.

He opens again next Sunday night at Atlanta. playing Mont gomery and then into the Jefferson for a three day stay on Monday, April 4
 The question was asked, Why has MT. walthall returned to the fegiti- mate stage, where he received his first theatrical start, and a friend who knows him, quite intimately said: well, Henry wanted to start talking to the people again instead of spending his entire life in the silent motion pic- ture studios" He is to return, how ever. this summer to the coast and commence work on four new pictures.

IKILBY'S EPOCH-MAKING DECISION READ HERE BY ALL GLASSES OF CITIZENS WITH KEENEST- OF INTEREST

Birmingham breather long sigh of relief yesterday, following the reading of Governor Kilby's epoch marking decision on the coal strike controversy.
 The document was undoubtedly more eagerly read here yesterday than any item of Alabama news that has occurred in many years. Singularly enough, however, there were no formal comments made for publication by those most inter- ested.
 The coal operators did not con ceal their pleasure over the out come which was regarded as an en- tire vindication of their position. Likewise they felt that Governor Kilby had erected a notable monu- ment to his own fairness of mind as we'll as to his courageous atti-
