r FURN|TURE GIFTS. IN GREAT DEMAND. AMONG SHOPPERS
Interior Decorators, Period Designs, Lamps and Odd Pieces Find Favor in
 Birmingham

Among tho varied and beautiful gifts being purchased by the 1922 Christmas shoppers, furniture Is playing an important role. and the furniture stores of this city are be- ing thronged with persons desiring to select presents both useful and substantial,
 Interior decorators and interior decorations are now in demand, more than ever before in the history of our country. and the "once upon time boudoir,s containing numerous pieces of furniture, including handsome brass beds, upright dressers. wash stands, etc, have all been relegated to the discard. Even the beautiful, an-glass china closet Is now pssse. while the reliable coal stove has long since been losing prestige to it's more sanitary and domineering rival, the gas range.
 Instead of ths old-fashioned parlor the music room, the drawing room or library have come In. The sectional bookcases, once so extensively han dled by furniture dealers, are sast passing out, aimee the modern archi- tect has successfully placed book shelves In the new homes. carrying out the style of the architecture and Interior colorings.
 Period Furniture
 Furniture of the Louis XIV and AV periods is meeting public approval, as Is the furniture of the Italian Renais- sance and old colonial periods. Ma hogany Is used almost exclusively, fumed oak and golden oak having shared the fate of the more decorated furniture of many years ago. Only the oaks in the French grays are much in evidence today.
 Sewing tables of Martha Washing ton and Betsy Ross designs are being sold to many Christmas shoppers. while the Lady Spinnet desks, built of mahogany, are features. In con nection with these desks, many hand some candelabra are being sold. Dav- enport tables and poiycone mirrors are receiving the hearty approval of Birmingham, while buffets and buffet lamps, together with tea carts and humidor smoking boxes, will be in troduced into many or the homes in this city during the Yuletide season. A rush is being made on cedar
 
 are not necessities just now, the for mer will be most convenient for the summer months. as the furs of ma-. women never reach the cold storage, while the latter can always be pressed into service and are always beautiful.
 Lamps have progressed much dur ing the past few years. Those gain ing the greatest amount If admira- tion this season are floor lamps, table lamps, reading lamps, buffet lamps and wall lamps of various shapes and sizes, with every color of the rain- bow used.
 Perhaps in many homes there will be entire new sets of furniture ush- cred In during the holidays while In others probably only one .,iece will be received, chosen to harmonize with the furnishings already on hand However, most any article now on display in the furniture stores of Bir- mingham would please the taste ot any home-loving woman and not grate upon the nerves of an over taxed husband

RAILROAD AGENTS SAY REGULAR RATES MAKE. HOLIDAY TRAVEL SLOW

Related arrival of the anticipated heavy holiday travel among railroad lines in the southeastern states can be attributed to the failure of rail- road officials to make tho customary holiday reduction in passenger rates. according to general opinion freely expressed among railroad agents in Birmingham.
 These agents have not, however, abandoned hopes that this season will top last years holiday travel as the majority of travellers are not ex- peeted to begin their journeys until the weekend.
 Announcement has been made by R. b. Willinghan, district passenger agent of the Alabama and yicksburg Railway company and of the NicSs- burg, Shreveport and Pacific Rail- way company that all lines in states Immediately southwest of the Missis- sippi river which includes Louisiana Texas and Arkansas, have declared a holiday reduction in passenger rates effective December q, one and one half fares being charged for round trips. Date of sale will be from De- cember 2 through December 24. Re turn limit will be January f, 1923.
 This season marks the first time in q number of years that railroad officials have not made holiday re- duction in passenger rates in the southeastern states, according to James Freeman, division passenger agent of the Southern railway.
 In a general perusal of the holiday travel conditions among lines running through Birmingham, it was noted in many instances that travel this sea son has fallen below that of last sea son.

NE w J|TNEY ROUTE TO ENSLEy OPENE ]
 BY CLOE ME EASURE
Regular Operators Will Not Suffer Under Proposed Ordinance. According
 to Inspector

Jitneys now operating with regu- larity will not suffer through ad- ministraton of Commissioner ". F. Cloes proposed ordinance limiting the number on each line. according to information Thursday. Four of the II white lines and two of four negro lines now haVe more than the allowed number If caEs, according to A. c Smith. iitaey inspector. The cScess en these lines will lie used in buiiding up two or three proposed new lines. one of which will be the BirminE ham -Easley route with 3o cars. There are few lines now operating tess than the allowed mum Der of cars, and shifting to them from lines with more than the limit is probable.
 White lines at present most dis organized and congested are the Glen Iris, south Highlands, Woodlawn anl North Birmingham lines. according to Mr smith. II was estimated that there are at least 10 more ears on each ol these routes than will be permitted under tho new ordinance. Although survey has recently been made, ft was said that it is impos- shie to know just how many ears operate on these lines. as there has been no system of up-to-date check ing and transitory cars come and go from day to day. This practice Will be eliminated. under the new ordinance. which will require nun boring of ears on each line and strict schedule uf operation.
 New Line to start
 The neN Birmiueham- Ensley line. ytytIl hS a$ t,4I nm dtately, t was said This line will be partly built up from excess oil e ngestcd lines. Probably other lines will be added later The line to Ems Icy will eo out Third avenue to Fair view and via the l1nsley pike 10 Avenue E and Twentieth street, Ems ley.
 It was said that the department intends to protect all jtncy operators now conducting a legitimate business and operating their cars regularly. Temporary iitueys that tend to de- moraiize the business will be elm mated.
 After the preseut situation has been adjusted aud all regular jit neys cared Tor. the city will refuse to allow more jitneys to be added to lines already operating their quotas under the proposed ordinance,
 Recommendation from Commits sioner Cloe's department is that the new ordinance become effective inn mediately upon adoption by the com mission. 1t is not known whether 1t will be voted on next Tuesday. at- though it was said at the legal de- partment that a draft would De ready.
