ADJUSTMENTS
COMEDY FEATURES NEW
 BILL AT LOEW'S
By EsteIIe Bethea MnrIowe

Good, sparkling comedy is the pre- dominant feature of inc bill for the last half of the week at Loew's Biiou theatre. However, the bill is balanced with good musical act and acrobatic offering, which rounds 1t into one of the best bills seen at the Bijou in several weeks.
 The offering of Tyler and Crolins is perhaps the biggest applause get ter on the. bill, and may be declared the headline attraction. The partners know a few clever lines and consider able fancy dancing.
 In the offering of Gaylord and Lancton there Is real novelty, as the partners are young ladies and ap- pear in burnt cork characterizations. Although several lady minstrels" have been seen in Birmingham this pair exceeds them all.
 Jess and Milt Feiber present a piano act. interspersed with a few songs and dances, that is very accept able.
 Everything from grand opera to the latest jazz" is played by George and Lilly Gardner in their xylophone act. This team is composed of two musicians. who understand the tech nfque of their instruments as well as the art In beautiful classical selec- tions.
 The LeMaiz trio offer comedy tumbling act which contains a few thrills and lots of comedy.
 Elaine Hammerstein in "Remorse- less Love" is the featured moving picture offering for the last half of the week

MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts 10 flush Kidneys if Back hurts or Bladder
 bothers.

If you must have your meat every day eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef forts to expel it from the blood. Tiey become sluggish and weaken. then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi- ness, your stomach sours. tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment. the channels often get sore and ir- ritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating cids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine This famous salts is made from the acsd of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia. and has been used for generations to flush and stimu- late sluggish kidneys, also to ncu- tralize the acids in urine, so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot ,njure, and makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink.-AdV.

 Yestsrday afternoon the visitors tn company of H. H. Vance, general su- per1ntendent of the Southern in Bir- mingham. made formal inspection of the sytem's terminals here. The trip was made in MT. Stanfiels priv ate car and number of Birmingham friends of MT. and Mrs. Stanfiel. among whom they were so popular during their residence in Birming- ham, were invited to accompany them
 From the terminal station the car went out through North Birmingham to the Finley yards, thence back to East Birmingham, through Woodlawn and back to the terminal station past the A. q. s. shops
 The men of the party left the car at Finley yards and were shown the wonderful system of switching tracks containing 29 miles of trackage. They also went through the big roundhouse which has a capacity of 20 locomo- tives and there saw the various types of locomotives used on the system from the 165-ton Mikado engines and the Mountain Pacific type on down to the different passenger engines and the switching types used in the yards Attention was also drawn to the 1,0eo-ton capacity coal dump, which automatically weighs each ton of coal put into it and each ton taken out The route taken was through one of the districts most important industrial section and even the Blr- mingham members of the party were amazed at the growth, the number and the diversity of the manufactur- ing plants in that section of the city.
 "Busines is picking up gradually said Mir. Stanfiel, whose work keeps him in close touch with industry all over the system and who travelled by rail 79 900 miles during the year 1921 and 1t may be termed good in spots In the northern coal fields we are hauling coal at nearly 100 per cent capacity because of the preparations being made for the coming coal strike which is bound to occur in Illinois and Indiana Lumber and all build ing materials have held up well and fertilizer ia beginning to be shipped in quantities. It is too early yet, however, to be able to say how soon normal will be reached"

Democrats Had Reasons
 For Supporting Changes
 h Appropriations Plan
Idea Was Democratic Con- ception-Underwood, For merIy Member of Approprla- tionS Committee, Was in Favor of Change
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age Herald,
 Enn Ihsn.rsri.nr, RuildiIan..

500 Davidson Building.
 Washington, March 9.-(Special.l- l-- Democrats supported the Senate Tes- olution requiring all legislation con taining appropriations to be referred for final consideration to the ap- propriations committed. for two reasons.
 It is admitted that 1t will work for efficiency and economy in govern .ment. In the second place, the idea was democratic conception and later, openly espoused and advocated by Woodrow Wilson when he was President of the United States.
 The nine democrats who opposed the resolution were actuated by three reasons. The idea was advanced by the republican majority; it's adoption would tend to centralize legislation; and its adoption would make the ap- propriations committee and its mem bers too powerful, in their opinion.
 House Changed Hule
 The House changed it's rule so that all legislation containing appropria- .tions would be referred to the ap- propriations committee more than a year ago. The rule now prevails in both legislative branches. In the House. Chairman Madden of Illinois is perhaps the most powerful mem bcr. In the Senate, Senator Warren of Wyoming will prove to be the most powerful member, 1t is prob able.
 The membership of the approprta- ;tions committee follows: Senators Warren of Wyoming, Shoot of Utah. .J Jones of Washington, Curtis of Kan sas, Hale of Maine, Spencer of Mis- souri, Phipps of Colorado, Newberry of Michigan and Mckinley of Illi- 'nois. republicans; and Senators Over man Of North Carolina, Owen of Oklahoma, Culberson of Texas, Harris of Georgia, Glass of Virginia and Jones of New Mexico, democrats.
 If democrats return to power. North Carolina will be the most powerful state in the Senate with Overman, chairman of the appropria- tions committee and Simmons, chair man of the finance committee.
 Underwood Favors Change
 Senator Underwood of Alabama, who retired from the appropriations committee when he became demo- cratic leader, spoke in behalf of the resolution changing the rules so that all legislation containing appropria- tions must go to the appropriations committee He referred to the fact that he had advocated such pro cedures while a member of the House several years ago, and to the fact that President Wilson later advocated what now the republicans had come to- He was followed by Senator Reed who spoke of the danger in giving all-power to one committee, and Sen ator Harrison, who had resort to his favorite weapon, sarcasm. He spoke feelingiy of the cruelty of putting more work upon Senators already overworked.
 Fourteen democrats voted for the resolution: Fletcher Gerry, Glass, Harris, Mcclellan, Pomerene, Rans- dell, Robinson, Sheppard. Shields, Simmons. smith, Swanson, Underwood and Walsh of Montana. Nine op- posed as follows: Ashurst Broussard, Caraway, Harrison. Heflin, Reed, Walsh of Massachusetts. Watson of Georgia and Williams.

Says the Increased
 Passenger Fcres Cost
 Railroads Heauy Loss

Washington, March 9.-Increased passenger fares have lost to the rail- roads 23 per cent of the passenger business they had in 1920 and also the good will of the public, Fred W. Putnam of the Minnesota railroad commission, declared today in the final arguments in the interstate commerce commissions inquiry into general rate levels.
 "The railroads eighteen months
 TO had the good will of the public and today they have lost it." MT Put nam asserted. Tt is the relation ship of the railroad users through the ticket windows and on the pas senger trains that forms public opin- ion-not' through the freight depart ment."
 Asked by the commission what rate of return he considered rail- roads ought to earn, MT. Putnam said that if the commission held 6 per cent reasonable, it should expect railroads to earn more than that in good times and less than that in periods of depression.
 John s. Buchmore, counsel for the National Industrial Traffic League, urged the commission. whatever it's action might be as to rates to issue a decision in the case so shippers would know the future.

LYRIC BILL FOR LAST
 HALF HITS ON ALL FIVE

Three acts are headline quality, so far as the vaudeville stage goes They are the headline act of Gladys Delmar and company of syncopaters Grace Doro's straight piano act and Fools Paradise" offered by Paul Hill and company.
 In addition to the excellent bill pr w. B. Thompson, "The Miracle Man from Egypt, remains over as per en- gagement, with his demonstration of cures by nerve pressure.
 Gladys Delmar and her sextet of syncopaters give a full, rich, musical offering. Miss Delmar diverts the audience to the syncopated tunes, ments and tap their feet syncopated style, resulting in an act of decided dash.
 Grace Duro, with "Ten Fingers and a Baby Grand" thrills and amuses her audience by turns. She literally spanks the piano with her jazz, her classics are fine and the piano im- presentations are extremely clever.
 PauL Hill and company offers a nonsensical and original comedy skit, Fools Paradise.Y After laughing for about half the act at apparently every conceivable device to provoke mirth. spectator exclaimed, I've had S10 worth of fun already" A strenuous hand. of course.
 Pretty and petite Irene Prince and dapper Ed Lowery go we'll together in their West Pocket Follies." The opening act, What Can We Dor" is good for refreshing variety, including dancing, rope playing and chatter. The usual screen features are shown.

The photoplay is an adaptation of Frank K. Adams widely read detec- tive romance.

 AT THE TRIANON

One of the famous Parisian dance palaces of pre-war days-and which since has become the target for re- formers crusades-was reconstructed on the grounds of Merto's West Coast studies in Hollywood, Cal, as a set ting for one scene of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" the colossal production of the world famous novel by Vicente Blasco Ibanez, now showing at the Trianon.
 The scene shows wildly the mad dance craze which struck Paris im- mediately before the European cat aclysm. Every detail was faithfully carried out according to plans of Jacques d'Auray, who handled the French technicalities of the produc- tion.
 Rudolph Valentino, enacting the leading male role In the picture, is called upon, as the famous tango leader, to execute some of the dances for which he gained an international reputation.
