MORE OPTIMISTIC
 FEELING IN EAST
Head of Gulf States Steel Tells of American VaIua-
 ton Plan

Feeling in the east is decidedly more optimistic" said Charles E. Moi fett president of the Gulf states Steel company who has returned from New York and Washington.
 T do not mean that the east is look ing for any remarkable spurt of bus mess" added Mir. Moffett, "but that conviction seems to be that we are fundamentally better off and that the trend is upward rather than the other way.
 The wire mill business Is fair. We are not at full tilt by any means, but things are better and seem to be inn proving.
 "one's optimism gets sort of mild damper na visit to Washington. Ne eessary tariff measures are moving on slow feet. That matter Is very im- portant and the country needs action.
 While in Washington I attended meeting of the industrial men of the country held under auspices of the National Association of Manufactur- CTS. They put me to work and l was placed on the, committee on reso1u- tions and the committee of 20 to wait on the president. Principal action of the convention was adoption of d memorial to the president and con- gress asking for endorsement of the American valuation plan in assessing tariff duties"
 Mir. Moffett, explaining the Ameri- can valuation plan, said it simply meant passing tariff on imports on the American dollar instead of debased currency of other countries. Under the American valuation plan the tar if levied on German, English, French and Italian products of the same kind would be the same, being based on wholesale prices in America. This plan would tend to equalize the prices on foreign products whereas the pres ent plan of valung them In foreign currency simply adds to the advant- age of the cheaper product produced by lower-priced labor, says MT. Moi fett.

LEW CODY AND MISS
 MILDRED HELM-ALCAZA

Today. which completes a visit of one week to the city of Mir. Lew Cody, famous screen star, marks the continuation of one of the most widely noticed visits of all screen person. ages. The novel act, in which Mir. Cody has appeared through the week. which was something different from the usual compliments to the city, to- gether with the personality contest" in which a local girl was chosen with a view to entering the movies, and the actual popularity of the 'Beau Brummel of the screen" have been combining attributes in the visit which has brought such wide atten- tion.
 The appearances today which will be with the winner of the contest, Miss Mildred Helm, will be the last opportunity of Birmingham to see MT. Cody or the clever little skit which he arranged himself for the appearances with his choice in the contest. Popularity has marked all of the appearances of the star, but interest has really reached fever heat with the continuation of the con test. and the sight of the star and a local girl In the ' lever act together has moved audie ices to highly com plimentary ovat ,ons.
