"7he Greatest LOUe" With
 Vera Gordon Big Feature
 At he Alcazar AU Week

Romance. heart interest. suspense, mystery and comedy all have an inn portant part in the super-special pro duction, The Greatest Love- featur- ing Vera Gordon which will be shown for the first time in Birming- ham at the Alcazar theatre beginning tomorrow
 Vera Gordon is magnificent as the mother who with infinite pains builds up the fortunes of her family, only to see them topple over when she be- iieved her work accomplished, and she could pass the remainder of hsr life in peace and prosperity.
 With the story opening in the steerage of transatlantic liner, later showing the family settled in the Ghetto during the first years of their life in America, and their sub sequent removal to a fashionable neighborhood in New York city, there is diversity of scenes and characters which greatly add to the interest of this excellent picture.
 In this new story of mother love and sacrifice Vera Gordon has even greater scope than she had in "Hu- moresque,' where her characteriza- tion of the mother was the feature of the piece. She is supported by a cast of well known players, including Bertram Marburg. Fannie shelton,

Shanghai, September 17.-By a means of preventing automobile ac- cidents the Health Precautionary As sociation,' an organization composed of leading Chinese of Shanghai, re- gently prepared a list of sugges- tions among which are several Of engaging novelty The sugges- tions which were adopted at meet ing after lengthy debate were sub mitted to the municipal council of the international settlement. Among the measures that the organizat tion advocates arc the following:
 .'Ali motor cars have rubber tired wheels and run without noise It is too late to blow horn when a car has already collided with pedes- trian. A car should have very small bell attached to one of the front wheels and this bell should be kept ringing a the time so that when pedestrians hear it they can get out of the way. This bell should be half the size of a bicycle bell. Each car should have a speed limit. but the fire brigade. doctors and police mo- tor cars should be exempted
 "A chauffeur should wear a brass badge on his breast. The badge should be three inches in diameter and should have his name and the number of his license in English and Chinese inscribed thereon. The badge should be issued by the municipal council at few taels each. Then a man not license will not dare drive car,

The spirit of this tale of the great pack dog "Kazan," who becomes the enemy of all mankind following the murder of his master and who joins a wolf pack and becomes it's leader, has been admirably caught Even the savage Kazan is amenable to kind ness and he never forgets the act of the young woman who befriended him and gave him his freedom. When he comes upon this same young woman and her male companion while leading hungry wolf pack, he turns on the wolves and fights them off in one of the most thrilling scenes ever screened.
 Again Kazan the Killer comes to her rescue when an intruder attacks the helpless girl in a lonely cabin. A third time he fights for her and wreaks a terrible revenge on the slayer of his master, Jim Radisson of the royal northwest mounted police
 The loyalty and faithfulness of ''Kazan' to his blind wolf mate, who are always seen travelling together, two by two, set an example which Joan Radisson and Jim Thorpe try to emulate. The story takes a great moral lesson from nature to man kind It is like a fresh breath of balsam laden air from the whole

 The Greatest Love" is dramatic story of mother love, sacrifice and family honor. Intense interest is sus- tained throughout by means of com plications surrounding the death of a theatrical producer known to have been one of the most hated men in the city. There were dozens who might have had motive for staying him, but Lantini was found bending over the dead man, and as he also had motive for revenge, he was ar rested and sentenced to death. It is not until the final reel that the start ling denoument is made.
 As the mother fighting undaunt- edly against heart-rending odds, pit ting her mother love and trust against the opinion of learned coun- sel and unbelieving governor, Vera Gordon rises to superb heights. Not for a moment does she hesitate in her determined efforts to deliver her son.
 The latest Fox News is the added feature.

Chinese Propose Many Nouel Ways
 to Preuent Automobile Accidents

All motor trucks should have rails or iron chains around the cars to insure safety and in case of collision cargo will be prevented from falling and injurlng pedestrians. Cargo should not be piled too high to prevent danger when passing over bridges.
 There should ! be on licensed chauffeur and an assistant to take charge of each motor car or truck. The assistant should sit behind and keep a lookout when the car turns around, goes backward enters or leaves the garage. The owner ot the car will not mind spending a little money in employing an assist ant chauffeur.
 After a person is killed by a motor car a wax image of the de- creased should be made and placed in a room and any chauffeur who causes injuries to others should be locked up' in this room so that he will see the image and feel sorry. This may cause him to repent. This has been introduced in America and has produced successful results"

Shone is comedian that de- serves the name, reviewers say. His act is entitled, "Intermissions," and is made up of stories that are de- scribed as humorous bank notes with a reserve fund.
 The other acts are so diversified that nearly all tastes are met. Nov city comes in Juggling De Lisle s' number. His work is described as neatness itself, backed up by pre- cision. More novelty and oddity will be found in the Four Brown Girls. They do their number in burnt cork and combine harmony with humor- Vic Plant and company. in Hands Up," supported by Warren A.

DAUCHE RTY ASKS
CO-0PE Grafton Of
LAW OFFICIALS
(Ry The Associated Press.l

| Washington, Dec. 27.-Co-opera-
/ ton Of state law enforcement Of
ficials with those of the federal
government was asked by Attor-
ney General Daugherty in letters
sent today to the attorney generals
of the states. Such cooperation,
it was maintained, would result in
better and more uniform enforce
ment of all statutes.
Enforcement of the prohibition
and the fuel and food supply laws
were particularly referred to, Mr..
Daugherty explained in announcing
dispatch of the letters.
There was no disposition by
the federal government to evade
responsibility, he added, but there
was feeling that the states
should make every effort to en-
force their laws which might be
duplication of federal statutes.
Retail Price Probe.
The letters were also accepted
in some quarters as step in con-
nection with the move recently
announced Of investigating retail
prices.
Mr.. Daugherty suggested to the
state attorneys general that they
call conferences of county prose-
cutors and, if possible, bring about
"a coherent, working arrange
ment" between them and federal
officials. Such meetings, he added
ought to be held early next year,
so that the basis of understanding
could be employed to effect eco
Monies in expenditures as well as
as serve the real purpose of
more through law
enforcement.
The coordination sought, Mr.
Daugherty said, ought to be of
real help TO municipal authorities,
chambers of commerce and others
interested in reaching violations
for eXtortion in the prices now
Better Understanding.
Referring to the cooperation
which he asked, Mr.. Daugherty
said: This wifi make for a better
understanding among the people.
IT will also afford an opportunity
for the several states, without |
uupIlcatlOn WITH the FEDERAL gov |
eminent to enforce laws which |
should be enforced by state au-
thorities and leave for the federal |
government such duties as de-
volve upon 1t.
THE two principal offenses
which I have in mind are those
against the liquor and the food
md fuel supply laws.
There is no disposition on the
part OF the federal government to
wade any responsibility in respect
o Its duties, but the states, | be- |
ieve, should first enforce their
avs In regard to the violations.
IND the federal government
promptly cooperating with the
yates, enforce the laws which
mould be enforced by it,"
He added that he was desirous
u bringing about Complete and
Effective working system" among
vi law enforcement authorities
aging that only by such an ar
angement could uniformity of
proceedings be established and a
imiiarity of fines and sentences
'e worked out.
