There Is a little god of chance who roams the world.
 In speaking of the success of local business women. he is responsible for Mrs. Augusta F'rledman's splen- did establishment today. Have to give him the whole credit.
 Here is how it happened:
 One day in a great hurry, the young god landed flat footed in front of the Jefferson County Bank build ing; knew right what he meant to do. then whisked himself up to the second floor, planting himself right in front of Mrs Friedman.
 That very beautiful. charming, and now most extremely successful Bir- mingham woman. was going through the wearisome details of purchasing a pair of the right sort of boots.
 She wasn't thinking of anything in the world foreign to that question.
 But the god of chance stamped both his feet and pulled desperately on her sleeve.
 Look, lookw is what he must have whispered into her subconscious mind, and in second or two Mrs. Friedman did look.
 Changed Her Life
 That changed her whole life scheme.
 For what she saw was a cunning little second floor shop. all quiet and deserted and for rent, and which ju st looked to her like it was screech- ing for someone to start a store Tn.
 What a wonderful line of blouses I could put in there" thought Mrs. Freidman. 'I believe 1 could make money out of them, too. if they were just the right sort. And there aren't any little exclusive shops like that in Birmingham"
 And having had a father before her who was successful in business for himself, Mrs Friedman unused further:
 "'I ought to be successful like he was, too. I'm just positive that l could start a shop different from eIybody's on earth. And if made it a shop where \ selected every last, least little blouse all myself, l be- lleve people would Buy from me For I'd get pretty ones and they would be right"
 The Decision
 The decision then came.
 "I believe I'll try that out! I'm going to!'
 At that the little gods work be- Ing done, he vanished; while Mrs. Friedman could hardly wait to pay for her shoes and to see MT. Fried man, her husband
 She was so afraid that someone would rent the little second floor shop before she couldt
 Of course MT. Friedman just had to capitulate. since the good-luck god was behind the matter, and since Mrs. Friedman was so convinced that she could make good
 Good" is right
 Moves In
 For Mrs. Friedman saw the rent man, moved right in, opened up a line of the prettiest blouses the mar kets of America afforded, spending in initial stock S1.500.
 Now hold your breath
 In five years that businesN started by a local woman and owned exclusively by a woman. has pro gressed so fast that it has been compelled to move from it's first tiny location and has grown to be a reg ular, all round exclusive women's wearing apparel shop, with just $40,- 900 worth of stock in it's exquisite interior.
 "So, you see, I was as surprised a anyone else at going into business" laughed Mrs. Friedman, as she took me to show me a mllllan hats. coat

 Action Expected

aCttOh GApttAth The city has not had long to await an opportunity to have this question settled. Scarcely had the commission decided to build the auditorium in West park, when it became known that s. P. King, an adjacent property owner and taxpayer of Birmingham, was preparing to file bill seeking to enjoin the city from erecting the auditorium on West park. and also seeking to enjoin the city from erect ing the auditorium upon any site other than that procured by con- demnation.
 Test Case
 The suit Is not actuated by ani- mostly or desire to obstruct plans of the city commission. but will nn- doubtedly be vigorously fought and genuine test case made. Atto9- neys for the property owner agree with city attorneys upon one ques- tion that the case will be pushed 10 a speedy hearing in circuit court and cooperation will assist in obtain ing an early decision from the SUI preme court.
