CHAIRMAN RAMSAY SEEKS PERSONAL AID
Alabama'S Quota for European Relief Will Save Ten Thou
 sand Children

Urging that representatives of the organizations banded together in the rp- ropean relief councils appeal for funds to save the lives of millions or starv- ing children in Europe, strain every er- fort to complete city, county and dis trict organizations at the earliest pos sibe moment' Erskine Ramsay, chair man of the Alabama division of the coun- cil last night sent telegrams to q large number of prominent men and women in various sections of the state, asking their personal aid in completing preparations for the active canvass that opens Sunday. January 9.
 Chairman Ramsay pointed out that no time is to be lost since the 17,000 hospitals, orphanages and Hoover kitchens operated by the council must close soon unless funds are forthcoming to keep them unless the necessary money is sent to Europe within very short time these children must Ge because it is only through the operations of these various institutions that they even now are kept alive.
 In Birmingham the various committed men and women appointed to represent the various organizations are working among the members of the societies they represent, and organizing teams to cover every section of Greater Birmingham and Jefferson county during the week the off, ficial appeal is under way. They de- clare that the minimum quota of $l00,OOO from Alabama to save 10000 lives shall be forthcoming and greatly added to.

G. Montana, flutist of the orchestra at the community sing, will hold the envi- able position of composer-performer when Gordon Erickson presents his "Italino Waltzes' at the Lyric theatre, Sunday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock.
 MT. Montana has been resident of Birmingham for number of years and has been affiliated with the musical pro- fession, joining the fraternity at O'Brien' s theatre in 1890, playing with large and small combinations until today he is en- toying the work at the first stand in the wood wind choir at the Lyric the atre on Sundays.
 MT. Montana is not novice at com posing for he has many works which have yet to be dug up from the bottom of his old trunk in the attic. Being a man of rather retiring disposition, he has not forced first hearing of many deserving works, but through his mu- steamship and serious attitude toward the better things in music he has gained a position of recognition.
 MT. Montana received his early train ing in Milan, where he studied compost tion and flute. Not only is he a flutist of ability, says MT. Erickson, but has been highly successful in the plastic arts. Many of his early creations still decorate some of the finest salons of Italy.

 THE ARCHITECTS
Auditorium Committee Leaves to Visit Other Cities and
 Scan Buildings

For the purpose of engaging the services of a consulting architect Tn the planning and building of the Bir- mingham auditorium, members of the architect subcommittee of the audi torium committee will leave today at noon for Chicago and New York for conferences with several of the lead ing architects of the country.
 Members of the committee are Mrs. w. D. Smith, Mrs. Houston Davis, Com missioner Ellis Brown and Hugh Mar tin. president of the local chapter Of the American Association of Arch1- tects.
 While the local chapter of archi- tects. under the general direction or Mir Martin, will have charge of the building of the auditorium, they are desirous of having for consultation some architect who has had wide ex- perience in the building of auditoriuhs and theatres The local chapter has expressed the opinion that the city needs a specialist on this kind of build ing in order to avoid the mistakes that so many of the municipalities have made in the building of similar buildings.
  munication with number of the leading architects of Chicago and New York They will go to those places to examine the work of the various men they have been in communication with. studying possible plans and looking through completed buildings. They will be gone for about week.
 Work of examining the abstracts of the property on which the auditorium will be located is progressing slowly in the legal department One of the eight lots which make up the site has been purchased titles to the others are being examined and they will eventu- ally be acquired.
 In the meantime, the architects, members of the auditorium committee and the board of commissioners, arc endeavoring to get the plans ready to begin work immediately after the site is purchased. Members of the commit. tee have announced that the plans and site will be ready for the beginning of the actual work in the early spring.

The representative had to walk almost to the top of the sky scraper. Finally they reached the doctors office. The representative thought that at last everything was going lovely, but he had, alas, not taken into consideration tho fact that to the boy of the noun tainous region doctor is known as the arch enemy of all boyhood.
 The boys went in for the exami- nation, but the examination proved necessarily a most exterior affair. Roy and Luther stood firmly in the center of the room, mouths tightly clamped to prevent any chance glimpse within. arms down, soldier fashion, and feet immova- bly, planted.

 More Coming

Reward of s1,50o for the capture Of Lem Price, negro, Wilmington, Dela- ware murderer, was received yesterday morning by Commissioner John H. Tay- Tor, and turned over to officers Bragan and Flanders of the police force.
 The two officers caught Price on the morning of November 8, just after he had robbed the Winter Clothing com pany of a suit case and $236 worth CT clothes.
 Price gave his name as Richard Har- ris. but was later identified by detec> tives as the man condemned to die for killing an officer in Wilmington. He admitted his identity as soon as he was confronted with the proof of his finger prints and photograph.
 At the time of his. capture and identi- fication, the two officers who caught him did not know of the reward which had been offered for his capture. He was said to be a desperate character. He was condemned to hang at the time he escaped from the Delaware york; house, and the sentence was carried cut immediately after he was returned to Delaware.

POSTAL SAVINGS
 BANKS PASS THE
 1OTHANN|VERSARy
$162,OO0,0OO Now on De- posit In U. S.-NeW Feature Is Ten Cent Card Coming
 Into Use Now


 Marking it's tenth anniver- sary, the United States postal savings system is today issuing a new postal savings card which will displace 10-cent postal savings card which has been in use since the establish ment of the system January 1, 1911.
 Information to this effect was re- ceived by Postmaster R. B. Smyer yes- terday from the department. This service was first established at 4S post offices one in each state, according to MT. Smyer, and, although hampered by many restrictions as to rate of interest and maximum amount allowed on de- posit, it has shown remarkable prog ress.
 There is more than s162 900, 900 on deposit today, according to information received at the local post office, and it's depositors have long since passed the half million mark.
 NEW CARD
 The new card will be furnished free of cost and. when ten 10-cent postal savings stamps have been affixed to it, will be accepted at any depository off, flee as a deposit of $1, or it may be redeemed in cash. The feature of the new card is the translation into 24 foreign languages of the statement that the faith of the United States is solemnly pledged to the payment of the deposits made with the system. In speaking of the postal savings system yesterday Postmaster Smyer said
 ''As predicted by its proponents in the days before the passage of the original postal savings act, foreign born citizens have been the principal patrons of the system. Taught in their native countries to look to the gov ernment to safeguard their savings, they naturally expect this government to do likewise
 Tn the recent flood tide of immi- grafton. each newcomer, as he leaves the port of entry, receives leaflet in his own language outlining the method of operation of the United States pos tai savings system and urging upon him the desirability of continuing in this country the practice of thrift which has been so necessary in the country he has just left. The service is, therefore, one of the most potent factors in furthering the Americaniza- tion movement.
 GENERAL USE
 Many banks, usually savings banks prior to the establishment of the sys- tenn, felt that the postal savings sys- tenn would be a strong competitor but experience has shown that the postal savings system draws it's patrons not from depositors in established and well- conducted banks, but from among those who otherwise would not place their money in any banking institution what ever.
 "The original act of Congress re- stricted the total amount to be placed on deposit at $500, and the deposit of this amount was limited to not more than $100 per month. Later the month fly limitation was entirely removed, and the maximum amount increased first to $1,000 and then to the present amount, $2,50o-
 "Postmaster General Burleson in the annual report just submitted to Con gress, recommends increasing the rate of interest to be paid depositors, and action by Congress will, no doubt, be taken along these lines within the near future"

LUMBER 30 PER CENT
 BELOW PEAK PRICES

The new year finds lumber 50 per cent below the peak price, 'The American Lumberman'' indicates; reduced prodnc- ton and comparatively small stocks on hand. Production and consumption have been kept well together.
 The industry is inclined to look for bet ter prices when resumption of buying on . large scale is resumed. The publica- ton says:
 in the lumber industry. When the year opened business was extremely active, so active indeed that prices were rapidly mounting. At the end of the year busi- ness is quiet, with purchases less than the considerably curtailed production and with prices, on the whole, 50 per cent below the peak attained by wholesale prices in the early months of the year. Today prices in many instances are be- low the cost of production and it is gen. orally conceded in the industry that a resumption of buying in any large vol- tune will send prices upward.
 Despite the very severe curtailment of building operations during the last six months of the year, producers of soft woods have booked orders during 50 weeks of the year aggregating approx imately 80 per cent of all the lumber produced during the year. A considerable volume of orders was held over from 1919 and consequently it is not surprising to find that during the 50 weeks ship ments amounted to approximately ST per cent of the total production
 Thus stocks in manufacturers hands have not materially increased during the year. They have been rounded out and holdings of grades which were scarcest have naturally been increased wherever possible. Production, particularly for the last two months. has been slowing down and there is a very decided tendency to hold production to about the volume of orders booked For example, for four weeks ended the middle of December mills in southern pine territory booked orders for 90 per cent of the volume of lumber cut and shipped 96 per cent of the volume cut. ! 4
