NATIONAL GUARD
 ID FIRE SALUTE
Presidential Salute of 21 Guns Will Be Fired on Arrival
 of Party

Promptly as President Harding steps from the vestibule of his pri- vate car. 21 guns will boom forth the usual Presidents salute. follow ing which will be a chorus of blasts from all whistles in the district, an- nouncing to the city the arrival of the nations chief executive.
 Arrangements for the presiden- tial salute have been completed and will be executed by the Alabama na- tionar guard. It will require 20 pounds of explosives to complete the 21 shots.
 Alabama national guardsmen will have full charge of the salute. The instant President Harding descends from the steps of his private car, tho announcement of his arrival will be communicated to a member of the guard stationed in the tower of the Terminal station, who will semaphore the news to the gun crew, located on the eastern side of the terminus,
 The firing of the guns will be at the regulation of one-half- minute intervals. Whistles of every plant in the district will open full blast and to the entire city will broadcast the news of the Presidents arrival in Birmingham.

REGULATIONS FOR
 PARKING 0F AUTOS
Traffic Committee Outlines Rules for Presidents
 Parade

The main streets of the city will be roped off tomorrow, which Is Presi- dents day, from a. m. to 1 p. m, ac- cording to an announcement from the headquarters of the semi-centennial committee. The parking of automo biles will not be allowed on Sixth avenue from Eighteenth to Twenty first streets, Nineteenth street from Sixth avenue to First avenue, First avenue from Nineteenth to Twentieth streets. Twentieth street from First avenue to Woodrow Wilson park, Fifth avenue from the Terminal sta- ton to Twentieth street.
 Tn addition to the traffic officers, a large number of Boy Scouts will as- sist in handling the situation. Ser geant Brent and his traffic force ' i'll furnish information to automobiiists, and the committee in charge has ap- pealed to every citizen to cooperate in making the Presidents parade a grand success.
 "The traffic committee has bent every effort to prevent inconvenience to any automobilists," said A. R. Redburn, chairman, and as a Eug- gestion believe that 1t would be wise to go to the parking field which has recently been opened between Powell avenue and Avenue A and between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets. It Is only a matter of two blocks walk to the center of the city, and the committee Is thoroughly assured that a sufficient guard will be kept on duty to protect the automobiles left there.
 Tn order that the spectators may witness the maneuvers of our own mounted troop, we especially request that directly following the parade the space from Fourth avenue and Twentieth street to Sixth avenue or Woodrow wilson park be kept abso- iutely clear. T
 The parking of automobiles by visitors to the fashion show and the exhibition tent will pe in charge of number of ex-service men, who have been sworn in for special ducy. The streets surrounding the park will hardly accommodate the number of automobiles which an attraction like the fashion show and the exhibition of Birmingham's industries will draw, | and we would advise that the streets | in the downtown section be used. | rather than everyone attempting to l park adjacent to the exposition | ground"

While the business section of the city fs so beautifully deco rated would it not be . splendid idea to clean mp the streets ana decorate the residentisI section of the citys
 This question has been asked several times during the past week and the contract between the appearance of the streets in the dOwntovn district and the residential sections is most striL- ing. Particularly fs this true of Highland avenue, one of the most beautiful residential avenues of any city in the south.
 Several of the parades durinR the week will traverse thfs ave- nue and decorations on she homes along the way would impress upon the visitors the fact that the residents have a pride fin their city and are Joining in mak- ing Birmingham's birthday party grand success. When one stops to think of the wonderful growth and development of the city dur ing the past 50 years, it fs im- possible to be anything bat proud of its progress.
 Many sightseeing cars win be operated during the week and these will pass through all prominent residential sections and the citixens have been urged by tho executive committee of the semi-centenHial to decorate thefr homes or at least to place flags on them. An effort is also being made to hwve flags flying
