SUPPORT OF PORT
 AMENDMENT URGED BY MANAGER BUNN
Advantages to State of Devel. opment of Port of Mobile Outlined by Expert
 Traffic Man

The Chamber of Commerce, through o. L. Bum, manager of the chamber and traffic bureau. has issued cir cular letter to the members of both organizations asking them to support V the seaport amendment. MT. Bum, who is one of the country's most ex- pert traffic men, dwells with em- phasis on the importance of the port equipment scheme for the low cost transportation of Alabama products.
 Bunn's Letter.
 The letter follows:
 ;g Shall Alabama, the richest min eral producing and agricultural sec- ticn of tho south be forced to use the ports of other states for the mcye- ment of it's import. export and coast wise traffic.
 ss This question is now before us and must be answered. It is believed that every progressive and loyal voter of the state will say that Alabama is s entitled tc and should have equal fa- 4s-'cilities with any other state iii the union.
 There is located at Mobile one of the finest, partially developed ports on the Atlantic Seaboard or the Gulf. Is 1t not the part of wis dom to improve this port by the erec- tion of suitable buildings. wharves and other adequate facilities? It is proposed to do this without inereas- ing taxes or forcing any citizen to pay one penny individually toward the pro ject
 Transportation is the life blood of commercei It creates volume and ~syalue and will make or destroy any community. Of all the factors and costs involved in transportation the asf tr .tFt portant! No water borne traffic can 1-be expeditiously handled where it is subjected. to inadequate terminal ia cilities.
 Producing Surplus. IF Alabama is, at present, producing a surplus of commodities and this surplus will continue to grow from -~year to year. large part Of the L same must be exported. Shall we be 5torced to send this traffic through x the ports of New York, Savannah or New Orleans when, by an amendment ito the slate constitution. adeauate facilities can be established at Mobile X, by the state?
 Roger Babson very recently said that the world markets of the fu- ture are Mexico and Central Ameri- lrgca.s Blrmingham products are en- e- }itled to direct outlet to these mar cskets Birmingham and the Warrior = .fiver give this district water route [, Io the gulf but without facilities at s Mobile for the loading. unloading \ and storage of cargoes, we shall not De on an equality with our com pettors.
 Great Opportunity. 'tss The seaport amendment, is a statewide measure, not a local one. Be sure to vote and to vote yes for sr~thIs amendment. and influence every voter 4od can to go to the polls No- vember and do likewise The sea- port amendment is Alabama,s great epportunity' It will be calamity if We iall te take advantage of it. We are confidently expecting your sun port" ~

lcng only disabled men. and there are so far 3S0 of them, the largest ma jority of them being local men. To add more pathetic touch. 150 of these sufferers-Birmingh dis abled fellows-are in hospitals in Biloxi and Mobile. and others at base hospitals.
 This week I saw at the South High lands infirmary several of the sick men under the care of the league which not only has for it's aim the aid of its own members, but the aid Of any disabled soldier who applies for help.
 One poor chap at the hospital re- ceived skull fracture in the service, and while the years have rolled by and he is thus afflicted, he does not get one penny from Uncle Sam as yet, and unless the league helps him, he probably never will.
 League Traces Records
 For this Is another part of the leagues work-to look over the Washington records and assist in get ting the claims strengthened out and to push matters that these men may be relieved Congressman Hud- dleston has declared, said Charles c. Grove, state organizer, that the league Is responsible for bringing to a happy climax the claims of about 50 per cent of the local men and those who have received help from this section.
 In 1920 the league brought to a conclusion the claims of 43.000 men, the number they have helped now be- ling around 73,00o or more.

PLAYWRIGHT AND
 WIFE READ DRAMA
Charles Ram Kennedy and Miss Mattheson in Read
 ingS Before Drama League

Four readings were given by Charles Ram Kennedy and his wife, Edith Wynne Mattheson. before the Drama league yesterday afternoon. They were from "The Merchant of Venice, "The School for Scandal" "The Servant in the House." and "The Rising of the Moon."
 The most popular reading was that of MT. Kennedy's own drama, The Servant in the House" Con- tinued applause greeted the efforts of the playright and his wife follow ing the rendering of this number.
 MT. Kennedy's interpretation of Shylock was one of impassioned zealotry rather than subtle cunning. The Merchant of Venice" was the only Shakespearean play presented, and 1t was delightfully."- done.
 In the lighter role of Sir Peter in Sheridan's famous comedy, The School for Scandal,' MT Kennedy was splendid. Edith Wynne Matthe- son as Lady Teasle was irresistible, and this was her best reading.
 In Lady Gregory's "The Rising of the Moon" MT. Kennedy read the part of the sergeant. and his wife that of the unknown man. Both of these readings were exceptionally impress sive.

tues, has been Crock shipper who

Few reckless sportsmen, as in past
years, threw hundreds of thousands or
franks on the green tables. There are
no stories Of fortunes made over night.
There are no frantic efforts to hush
stories of ruined millionaires-there
are no such stories to hush.
All over the world the reaction from
the orgy of spending that came after
the war has produced dams in the
stream of gold that pours into Monte
Carlo. Officials Of the Casino and of
the Sporting Club themselves--the two
are really one organization--admit the
dashing of their hopes for big year.
