HARDING SENDS REGRETS

W. P. G. Harding, chairman of the fed eral reserve board. has answered an in- vitation of the Junior Chamber of Com merce to come here and address that body by expressing his regret that he cannot do so at this time. However, he adds that he hopes to visit Bir- mingham this spring, and if he does he will address the junior chamber. In a letter to A. k. Akers, chairman of the committee. extending the invitation, Mir. Harding says:
 II have noted with much interest the organization of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and am sure that it is prov ing a most valuable aid to the senior body. Birmingham has always been a young mans town. The vigor and en- thrsiasm of youth. tempered with the conservatism and experience of the older members, will make Birmingham, when the present .iniors become seniors, an even greater city than it is today"

ID MAKE EFFORT
 FOR REFERRING
State Highway Commission
 Will Endeavor to Reopen

As a result of the recent ruling of the supreme court of Alabama holding un- constitutional the s25.000,0O0 good roads bond issue amendment Jefferson county will lose several million dollars on good road founds is. the opinion of S. R. Bat son. county highway engineer. However, lie does not think this ruling will affect the election Tuesday.
 Mrs Batson is also member of the state highway commission and stated that the s2s,00o,0O0 voted by the people of Alabama would have been matched by the federal government giving the state s50. .000000 for good roads. This money was to be used in building modern high ways connecting up all of the county seats of the state.
 The state highway. commission will meet in Montgomery within the next few days. MT. Batson stated, and an effort would be made to have the supreme court grant a rehearing of the case.
 If this is granted firmly believe that sufficient evidence can be submit ted to the higher court that will cause it to rule in favor of better roads," he said "In case the application for a re- hearing is denied and the present decis- ion allowed to stand, I am in favor Of an extra session of the legislature to resubmit the question to the people at the earliest date possible. This would be expensive of course. but the people have right to be heard on this very important matter before it is killed for good.
 ''1n this connection I want to urge every citizen to go to the polls Tuesday and vote in favor of the constitutional amendment allowing the sale of bonds at a rate of interest of per cent. We are not through yet and in case we fin ally get the money it is necessary to have this amendment adopted in order to dispose of the bonds to the best ad- vantage.
 The supreme court decision hes not nullified the election. reports to the con- tray notwithstanding, and all ane urged to vote as if no decision had been rendered

Interchurch Boys
 Ron,p on East Lake
By BEN GREEN

Yesterday afternoon, although the Sunday School Community league has broken up, two of the teams in that league played at the Young Mems Christian association The interchurch lads were victors over the East Lake boys in each class, the count being 35 to 20 for the Juniors and A to 20 for the Seniors. The first half of each game was very close, for the Juniors the interchurch team leading, II to 10, and the Seniors of the same organiza- tion were ahead with the score, 16 to 12, at the end of that period.
 A LIVELY GAME
 The first game was between the Juniors and was very lively and in. teresting. Davis Brasfield, the all- round South Highland athlete, was not right in the first half, but in the sec ond he literally burned things up scoring eight field goals in this pe- riod. His points for the entire game numbered nineteen. This youngster who is undoubtedly the best for his size in the city, if not in the state leaves for prep schcool in Indiana D. oils, Ind, tonight. The local school loses one of the most promising ath- letes that ever attended grammar school in this district with the de- parture of this boy.
 Rubel was the outstanding star in the first half, literally saving the game for the interchurch boys Chancey and Phillips played spiendidly at guards and kept their men covered all of the time Bruce put up a good game at forward, but did not have many shots. For the losers Caldwell played a brilliant game, scoring 14 of their 20 points. Moore put up a good game as did Feenker at guard. Both teams are well trained and have had plenty of practice.
 WARE A STAR
 The second game was much like the first with McHenry, star of the South side aggregation, off his feed, and Ware saving the day. "BilI' was great at forward and shot with the precision of the W. k. T. K. Lee and running the floor like a race horse. This youngster scored .22 tallies all told. McHenry, as said before, did not get started until the second period. but rang up eight counters in all. Perry played we'll in the first half. making eight points but was taken out in the latter period. and "Hootney" Newton. substitute, scored six points in his stead. Mills and Holder played we'll at guards, and Harris put up good game when he got in the last half The losers best player was Caldwell. who shot nine of their 70 points. Byrd at center played we'll. but did not have many chances to shoot. Mcfarland was good at guard for the East Lakers.
 The lineups follow:
 Interchurch Juniors (35)--Reubel CD and Bruce CD, forwards; Bras Phillips guards.
 East Lake Juniors (z0) Moor (4) and BauIess CD, forwards; Caldwell l14), center; English and Feenker, guards

FOREIGN TRADE AND OUR OPPORTUNITIES
Dean Bidgood Talks on Com. merciaI Expansion at Cham
 Der Meeting

Opportunities for commercial expan- sion in the countries surrounding the Caribbean sea are the best facing American business men, according to Lee Bidgood, dean of the school of commerce and business administration at the University of Alabama, in a talk before the joint meeting of the Junior and Senior, Chambers of Commerce at the Chamber of Commerce last night.
 He brought out the fact that Bir- mingham sold more sugar mill ma chinery in thes Caribbean regions than any other city of the United States. and that Alabama. with its ability to produce the grades of goods in de- mand in these countries, should be- come the Manufacturing center of the south under the new order of things.
 MT. Bidgood went into detail con- corning the trade possibilities in the islands and small republics surround ing the Caribbean, pointing out ad ivantasts we enjoy at present and how they could be used in future develop iment.
 Plans of the junior chamber were sketched in detail by Joseph r. Mudd, president. who was introduced by M. P. Northington. president of the Cham Der of Commerce, for the benefit of the more than 200 members of both bodies who were present.
 Among other things, a gridiron din- ner is being planned for some time in March, laying out of public golf course looked into and various civic problems being investigated. Holding of weekly luncheons is being consid- cred by the body as means for bring ing the membership more closely into contact with one another.
 W. P. G. Harding chairman of the federal reserve banking system, will address the junior chamber early in March, it was announced.

BOXING IS POPULAR
 AT THE UNIVERSITY

Interest in boxir.y at the University of Alabama is fast increasing. as the numerous bouts being staged there will indicate. Charles A. Bernier, athletic director at Alabama, has announced that a full team of IS men will be en- tered in the southern amateur tourna- ment, to be staged at the Birmingham Athletic club early in March. About so men are working out under the in- structions of Joe White of Tuscaloosa at the university now.
 There seems to be . tendency
 among the universities ever the
 United States to adept boxing as .
 major sport, and it seens to us
 that such action would be the hest < thing that could happen to college
 athletics and to the sDort itsef1.
 With organized boxing at a univer. sity, the coaches and athletic directors could develop real men who would be good material for other athletics, a. we'll as supporting the standards oi their alma mater in the ring.
 With college backing, it is cer- tainty that boxing as national sport would be benefited. inasmuch as il would help to erad cate the faults now prevailing in the fistic game.
 University authorities are to be com mended upon their actions in further ing boxing af this institution.

New York looking to the closing of all

and Mr. Wolf feels that it will be
appreciated in increased efficiency of
service The merchants themselves
will enjoy the long period of rest for
the summer. 1t will create content
ment, and is progressive thought all
over. The leaders of the movement
ask the buying public to cooperate in

Baby Gardening on
The Beans Lawn

Baby gardening may with fit intent
be applied to very happy little
thought that this spring took posses
sion of the Beans home in Cumber-
mede road, Palisade. Little Bette
Beans, the idol of the street, and
dearly beloved in her own home, had
her heart leaning towards a little gar
den this season, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Beans said she should have it. 1t
was to be fashioned on the rear lawn,
right up against the dividing line OF
the next lot. and there Mr.. Prof. Beans
busted himself getting the little patch
OF ground ready-a patch about six
feet by twenty in size. He dug, then
struck a provoking vein of in-the-
out, and there began Bettie's baby
garden. Lettuce, radishes, peas, pan
sizes and candytuft for border were
planted, and then began to wait for
the coming up of the seed. The ground
was duly fortified mildly, and soon the
patient watchers We're rewarded The
lettuce came up green and beautiful,
the candytuft showed its feathery
flowers, the pansies bloomed, the rad
ishes turned red and large, and the
pretty picture was started into real
being. Then other tiny patches oil
the lawn were turned into baby gar
dens, planted, raked, watched and
guarded with the most tender fidelity
and sOlicitude until the Beans place
is little picture place of joy to look
upon. And to it all there came into
Mr.. Beans's bean { X I'D the
thought of building pretty little cir
cular pool about eighteen inches il
diameter to hold water for the birds.
He made it out of cement, and now
they sit in the windows early mornings
and late evenings and watch the
friendly robins, the Saucy, wonderful
thrushes, and all sorts of sparrows
fly down and sip and sip the cooling
waters of their pool. And just to
make long story short-the Beans's
baby gardens have made the biggest
kind of hit with all who have seen
them, and there are going to be imita-
tors, for the idea is just wonderful,
that's all
And thus we see what love did for
Bettie's garden and what love will do
for anything.
