BUREAU REQUESTS
 CAR DIRECTOR HERE
Large Tonnage in Birming- ham Makes This Logical
 Control Point

In order that the district may gain quicker action with regard to car supply, especially in periods of short age such as now exist, the board of directors of the traffic bureau have instructed Secretary Charles E. Jones to ask for the location hero of a district manager of the car service division of the American Rail way association. This request will be presented to M ]. Gormiey, chair man of the car service division.
 The association now has rep resentative here in the person Vf IT. J. Arnett of whose services the bureau expresses it's appreciation. However, the bureau says. MT. Ar nett must refer every complaint and every need to Washington for ac- tion and confirmation, which neces- sitates great delay. and is not sat- isfactory in result-getting. The bu- reau wants a district manager with authority to act in all ordinary c emergencies and cases and thus have prompt relief
 The bureau takes the position that there should be such an official permanently in the southeastern dis trict and holds that Birmingham with it's large tonnage demands is the logical place for the manager to have his headquarters.
 Following new members were elected: Pine and Cypress Manufac- turing company. Batson Cast Iron Culvert company, +. B. Broyles Fur niture company.

ROTARY

I've changed horses in the Boy Scout work during the past year, said D. B Dimmick at the Rotary club luncheon Wednesday, Such procedure has been fatal to more than one scout unit, but l am proud to say that we have grown during the year, and have really done better work than ever before.
 T want to pay my tribute to the work of Roland l.. Shine, the new scout executive. He has done great work. Great credit is due Frazier Banks, who has been untiring in his work with and for the boys. In the Boys club during the past year, there has been a similar fine improvement, and for that I want to commend pr. Pency Woodal. who as president. mas carried the club through one Of the most effective years in its history.
 The Rotarians started at the lunch con their campaign for raising the budgets of the Boy Scouts and the Boys club, which It does every year. Members of the club were divided in- to 70 teams. and active solicitation

 San Juan, Porto Rico

It is deemed likely that Bir- mingham and Bessemer shops of the United States Cast Iron Pipe company will be makers of 10000 tons of cast iron pipe of large sizes for the city of San Juan. Porto Rico. The contract is to be let toward the end of this month and it is understood that the United States company will be the only American bidder.
 Tho order means more than st, ,000. 900 Foreign firms are ex- peeted to compete. but economy of manufacture in Birmingham ;,s we'll as low freghts via the War rior river and Mobile are held m business circles to give the United States company somewhat the better chance in the bidding. It is held certain that the local foundries will make the pipe if the order comes to America, be- cause this district is the usual maker of pipe ordered for export.
 One of this years orders filled here was for 4.000 tons for Homo lulu. A few years ago the local plants did a large job for Argen- tine.
