Rctarian Wallace l.. Caldwell, who leaves Birmingham soon to become engaged in the asphalt business in Louisville, Ky, was the principal speaker at the weekly lunch con of the Rotary club at the Southern club yesterday.
 MT. Caldwell has been a prominent memb Der of the local club for a num- Der of years. and received an ova- ton from the members when he arose to make his address yesterday.

The company with which he Is to be associated is engaged in the developing of bituminous sand stone. which will be used for paving. It is laid cold, and produces paving similar to regular asphalt.

Birmingham Greeks are discussing with much interest the new order of tho home government, under which 50 per cent of the money which they send to their kin in the fatherland Is taken over by the government for its own uses.
 The operation seems to be this A Birmingham Creek sends s100 to his mother in Greece. To have the draft cashed. she takes 1t to the Greex National bank, or one of it's branches. When she does so, the bank, under order of the government. gives her $50 in Greek drachmas, according to the rate of exchange, and informs the good woman that the other $50 must remain in the bank for tiding over the national treasury until such a time as the government may te able to let her have all her money.
