ROTARY CLUB PLANS
 FOR CONFERENCE

Plans for the Eighth district Ro-ary conference, which will be held in Bir- mingham March 2S and 29, were dis cussed yesterday at the meeting of the Rotary club by John c. Henley, con ference secretary. A large number of ence, and elaborate plans for the en- tertainment are being made.
 Frank P Glass, in a brief talk, told of his recent tour of Europe. He stated that the first few weeks he spent in Europe things seemed to be booming, and it was impossible to get a sufficient quantity of goods to sell but three months later the bottom had dropped out and there was much com plaint about business conditions.
 Mir Glass spoke of his tour through Scotland, and what a wonderful coun- try it was. He declared the people were most friendly and advised every Rotarian who could possibly attend the International Rotary convention to be held in Edinburgh to do so.
 Chapline Hodges, secretary of the club spoke on the various phases of fellowship and urged all Rotarians to think more of their fellow members, especially when they were sick or in sorrow.

Books for the blind are needed.

Books for the blind are needed.
 The Birmingham association to pro- vide recreation and aid for the blind, had been reorganized and is conduct = ing the campaign for funds to secure these books.
 The Birmingham public library is southern depository of books for the blind and the campaign for the books is under it's auspices.
 Miss Mary Craven is president; Mrs. Caroline Engsfelt is chairman of the membership committee of the associa tion, and Miss Loida May Chapman, vice. president of the public library, has charge of the book committee.
 Books for the blind have been of several kinds, but it has been decided to use only one kind hereafter, "hence' says Miss Chapman Tit has become necessary to fill shelves with new books of the standard and uniform type. When it is realized that fourth yeader costs $14 and a copy of the Tale of Two Cities $16, some idea of the need of funds for the library for the blind may be acquired.
 'The Birmingham library it deposi- tory for the entire south of books for the blind and is going to be depended on to- furnish the new and standard books. We need several thousand dol lars and we feel certain that the gem erous people of Birmingham will fur niSh it."

LUMBER MARKET IS
 REPORTED GLOOMY
Chicago Publication Says That Builders Are Waiting for
 Lower Prices

There have been further recessions in the pine lumber market. Production IS still curtailed and stocks grow lower The interest in the trade at this time is cen- tered in the action of the department of justice in seeking what would amount to dissolution of the Southern Pine asso- citation.
 The American Lumberman of Chicago says:
 "The slight advance in prices recently noted did not continue, and there have been further declines. The market this week is practically lfeless, and while there is great need throughout the coun- try for homes, it seems that prospective builders generally are determined to hold off until other materials and building labor have declined in the same propor- ton as has lumber.
 ''Railroads, which are heavy lumber con sumers, recently have been issuing wholesale cancellatins of orders for lum- ber thus working severe hardship on the industry. It is hoped that the pres ent lull in lumber demand is but tenn porary, and that buying soon will begin again in something approaching normal volume.
 '.Curtalment of production continues in effect and stocks gradually are being reduced"
