James R. Me Lellan of New England says that 1t should and in a short talk to the realtors, set forth his reasons.
 "The auction method of land sales has been successfully tried in this city" said Mir Mcclellan, and It should be considered as plan for a big auction in which all the realtors In the city advertise date for a lots and homes offered to the highest bidder"
 Following the talk by Mir. McLel- Ian, Hlll Ferguson made motion that a committee to investigate the advisabillty of MT. McLellan's plan be appointed. the resolution passing by q unanimous vote.

Birmingham's underworld will be no more!
 If Birmingham possesses such. 1t will be confined in future to the city jail exclusively. according to in struction given yesterday by Chief of Police Fred H. McDuff, that re- lentless warfare against vagrancy and houses of i'll fame will be made. However, this is but a continuation of the policy of the department of public salty, which was adopted when the new administration took office.
 Instead of offenders appearing in police court unopposed, they will hereafter be met by w. Marvin Woodall, assistant city attorney, who will vigorously prosecute each such case coming before the court, as a result of the campaign which the department has undertaken.
 Three cases yesterday were post poned on account of illness of de- fendants who were hailed before the court as the first victims to fall in the laws dragnet after issuance of orders that houses of i'll fame shall go. The cases were against siding at 2324 Fourth avenue, and allege operation of a house of prosri- tuition against the former anc vagrancy against both.
 Judge Henry L. Martin warns that offenders upon conviction will re. ceive the extreme penalty.

Gulf States Steel To Show Larger
 Earnings in July

Recent advances in Gulf States Steel stock are credited by eastern financial and industrial journals to improved earnings to be shown for second quarter.
 The Wall Street Journal has this to say:
 Gulf States was one of the few companies to show some profit after fixed charges in the first quarter when net earnings, after taxes. de- preciation, and other charges, were sS0,316, equivalent after preferred dividends, to about 40 cents a share on the 11,152.150 common stock out standing December 31, 1921 (s1o0 par value).
 Tt is known that an improvement will be shown for the second quar- ter and it can be estimated that minimum net for the second quarter will be in the neighborhood of s200,- GOO. equivalent, after preferred dividends to an annual rate of about s6 a share on the common.
 Gulf States is operating its blast furnace, three of the five open hearths, and finishing mills. the latter practically at capacity. Ship ments have been good and 1t is ex- pected that they also will improve after the freight rate reductions July l.

 Mahaley shot and killed Felix l4a- Porte about two weeks ago at 2S3o Eighth avenue, north. LaPorte was accused of being too familiar with Mahaley's wife.

RECORD CEMENT
 OUTPUT IN 1922
Plants Pushed Beyond Capac- ity to Supply Southern
 States Demand

Alabama Portland cement mills will manufacture 2.25o.o0o barrels Of cement this year and there will be an avid demand for the production.
 A leading cement manufacturer said yesterday:
 "Conservative view of the situation indicates that the southern cement mills are having and will have this summer and fall demand for pro- auction far in excess of their abil- ity to produce.
 owing to volume of road COL struction accompanied by decided in- crease in general construction work in the past 30 days. manufacturers find themselves with substantial bookings.
 After July 1. owing to disposition to save on the reduced freight rate going into effect at that time, there is apt to be a congestion of bls- mess and consumers will experience much difficulty in getting prompt deliveries"
 The mills of the Atlas Portland Cement company at Leeds, the Ma tional at Ragland and the Gulf States at Demopolis are all on full turn.
 The years production will make a new high record.
