RADIO STATIONS
 ID BE INSPECTED.
U. S. Inspector Will Hold Ex- animation Here for Radio
 Operators Licenses

Theodore G. Deiler. United States Radio inspector for the Fifth district, with headquarters in New Orleans. has announced that he will be in Birmingham on October 23 and 24 for the purpose of inspecting sta- tions and holding examinations for amateur and commercial radio opera tors licenses.
 When the asst stant radio inspector was here in the early summer he found 1t impossible. on account of limited time, to give all the stations a thorough examination. Mir. Deiler during his stay will examine all the radio stations to see that they are properly tuned so as to cause a mini mum of interferences with the broadcast listeners who themselves have properly constructed equipment.
 All holders of provisional amateur second grade licenses must report for examination as first grade anna teurs. This will require code speed of ten five letter words per minute as well as the knowledge of the radio laws and the care of sending set.
 The place for holding the examina- tions will be announced later.

PEPPER HOT ON
 WALKER ROADS President Davis Gets Sar- castle Letter From Mem-
 phis Man

Conforming the Walker county roads as "the worst roads in any county in America" a sarcastic let ter received by President Davis of the Birmingham Automobile club. from J. R. Pepper of Memphis, says that the Bankhead highway in that part of the state Is unworthy of the honored name 1t bears.
 The letter received by President Davis from J. R. Pepper. 7o4 Good wyn institute. Memphis. reads:
 During the last few days have passed through Walker county. Ala bama or rather the said county has passed through me. Hence. I would like to inquire If the gentleman for whom thf county was named is still living? If so, I would like to pre- sent him a medal for having the worst roads of any county in Amer ica claiming to be part of high way. Should Mir. Walker have de- ceased, his family, out of respect for his good memory ought to ask the legislature to change the name to Bumper county as that will surely appear as a most appropriate name to anyone riding through said county in an automobile.
 T noticed at various points in the aforesaid county the letters B. H. which I interpreted to mean Bank head Highway'--if not correct, the change should be made at once, or earlier, if possible. No sign boards are found to prevent the unwary traveller from taking the wrong road. which this one did twice as the wrong one looked the best and plain est. Until improvements arc made my vote is strongly in favor of skip ping Walker county, Alabama, en- tirely, and go over a mountain, through a tunnel, or some way of avoidance.
 Tn the meantime, the good nama of Bankhead should be removed from so disgraceful a connection.
 Respectfully submitted to the road commissioners of the said county. Walker, in Alabama.
 Yours truly. J. R. PEPPER"

FINAL CONFERENCE 1
 ID ADOPT BUDGET.
Indications Are That Budget for City Will Be Adopted
 Tuesday

It Is doubtful now if the new bud get will be adopted before Tuesday, according to opinion at the city hall yesterday afternoon. Absence of one of the commissioners from the hall yesterday prevented final conference, which would have enabled the com mission to adopt the budget at an adjourned meeting to be held this morning.
 The special session this morning was called by President McIendon following the regular meeting last Tuesday, for the express purpose of adopting the budget and awarding the contract for the new city market. Conferences have been held during the week, and 1t x understood that but one more conference is necessary before the new budget will be ready for adoption.
 Much detail work will be neces- sary, however. In putting the budget in shape for adoption after the com mission completes it's estimates, and it is doubtful if the document will be ready for final adoption before the regular meeting of the commits sion Tuesday, according to belief at the city hall.

OMITS
 ALLPARADES

Owing to the increased size of tho Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus tho time-honored pa- rade was abandoned during the ses- son of 1921 and. for the same reason. tho street pageant has been omitted this year.
 The circus will be here on oc- tober 20.
 The doing away with the parads has been under consideration for some time and when, in the winter of 192o-21 the Ringing Brothers added to the bigness of their combined shows by purchasing Europe's fore- most wild-animal circus. a final decision was reached. The parade was eliminated. The innovation proved a decided benefit to patrons because it permitted the circus men to devote the entire morning to get- ting "the show on the lot"
 As even the layman knows, tho circus mans first business Is to get the show paraphernalia and vast properties from the railroad yards to the show grounds and then put them and the great tents in place. But, following the combine, there was so much of this work to be done that the parade often started iate and frequently had to be cancelled altogether.
 Last winter came the opportunity to purchase still another of Flu rope's biggest trained animal and trained horse shows. The 2ingling Brothers did not hesitate. They i'm mediately decided to take on" this great, new feature and make room for 1t by continuing to eliminate the properties and vehicles required for the street parade and the time taken In giving the parade.
