CITY TOHAVE MAN
 ID OGET CONCLAVES
Conventions to Be Necessity When Auditorium Is
 Completed

Inauguration of bureau of city publicity with a manager who will be in charge of bringing large con- ventIons to Birmingham is included in d program outlined by D. F. Mc- LendGn, president of the city com mission, Saturday, and which he said he would present to the com mission soon.
 President McLendon declared that the need for employing man to call conventions to Birmingham was urG- ent, in view of the expected com pletien of the city auditorium by next winter. Conventions ia session at this time of the year should be Yis- tied or communicated with. Presi- dent McLendon declared, with view to bringing their next meeting to Birmingham.
 following a few months for un- forseen delays said President Me- Lendon, the new auditorium should be completed by March, 1924. If We wait until that time to begin solicit ing conventions and other attractions there will be a waste of year with consequent loss in revenue. l believe that 1t would be a paying proposition fer the city to employ a man in the immediate future so that we will have reservations waiting when the auditorium is completed"
 President McLendon said that the new bureau would not be a financial burden on the city. the only initial expense being the services of a man ager and a stenographer. He de- clared that he would take the mat ter up with the commission soon, with definite recommendations

TWOCOUNTIESV VOTE
 AGAINST PORT BILL
Practically Complete Returns Show Huge Majority
 For Project

Complete returns from all but two of the counties in Alabama give majority of 77060 votes fer the Mo bile Seaport amendment, according to information received Saturday. A total of gS.7S5 votes were boiled for the amendment, and 2l,572 against it. making ratio of to 1 fer the amendment over the entire state.
 Only two counties went against the amendment. Henry county re- corded majority of 215, and Lee 6 majority of 30 votes against the measure. The greatest proportion fer the amendment was in Greene coun- ty, where there were only nine rotes against it. Returns are lacking from Perry and Lowndes counties.
 Jefferson county polled s,S71 votes for the amendment and 1,S15 against it, making majority of s.056. The greatest numerical majority of any county was that of Mobile where majority of 10,210 was registered in it's favor An interesting feature IS the fact that Mobile boiled as many votes as Jefferson county, demon strating the intense interest in the passage of the amendment that was felt in that county.

LIBRARY DISPLAYS
 NEW NON-FICTION BOOKS FOR MONTH
Best of Story TeIIers' Art Also Goes on Shelves to Sup ply All Citizens of
 Birmingham

Fifty-four non-fiction hooks have been added to the shelves of the Birmingham public library. They en- ter many fields. which range from law to astronomy. from Funeral Mana cement and Gosts' 10 Modern Russian Poetry" Special attention should be directed to Drinlewater's $ "Oliver Cromwell;" Lewisohn $ "Drama and the Stage" and up Stream" and OBriens "Atolls of Thensun" Thirty-four new fiction books have also been added. These include Bjorkman's soul of a Child,e Hutehinson's This Freedomf Lewis "Babbittn and Wharton s "Glimpses of the Mton."
 The non fiction books in the cir culating library and In the reference rooms are becoming more and moro popular as the public becomes better acquainted with the variety of needs they supply.
 There is hardly profession. trade, or calling of any nature on which the library has not a book which will help those who follow it. Modern man is rapidly learning the value of books, and how to employ them in the pursuit of his work. The result is that there is an eVer-inereasing demand for technical and other non fiction books, which the library is supplying to the best of its ability and resources.
 Better Books Sought
 As to the fiction books, it cannot be said that the public as whole is turning to the more serious fiction, yet there is a pleasing upward ten dency in the quality of the fiction which the general reading public is asking. The great popularity of the recent serious worNs or rietion at test this.
 The officials of the library say that 1t is their purpose to supply the de- mands of the public, no matter in which direction the public tasta may lean yet at the same time they feel it their duty to encourage in every possible way the choice of the better books.
 With this in mind, cards are sent
