GENERAL APPROVAL OF PLAN TOCHANGE
 CITY GOVERNMENT
Walter Moore Says People Want Their Money Put to Better Uses and
 Better Government

T find the movement to organize the electorate of Birmingham for changing the present system of our city government to popular repre- sentative and economical system is meetinA with genera approval said Walter Moore.
 The people or the city, especially those who carry the burden of taxa tion, are eager for a chanPe in order that the money they pay into the city treasury may be applied to police and fire protection, street and park inn proYements anC public schools, and not so much to salaries for several heads now existing.
 "The matter deserves the attention of the people of Birmin-hal.. in the selection of the senator and -represen- tatives from this county in the legis- lature of Alabama as the city charter must be changed to into effect the proposition. Th next legislature will have it in it's power to make the change witt ut submitting the D. l. position to vote of the people, but do not fear such submission would gladly agree to such a course. in fact rather prefer it.
 Tt is gratify; 6 to those of us who favor the chang 3serve tk such
  have long resided here ari hays studied the needs cf the city and who help bear the burden of taxation, are in line with the movement a4d Geter- imitation to establish a representa- tive form of government.
 The plan Iroposed by Frank " Evans, former mayor of the city as presented in his recent communica- tion, meets general approval, but some objection is found .o it from it's comparatively small number of alder men and Councilmen. My judgment is that ten councilmen and sixteen aldermen would be sufficient repre- sentation of our fifty seuare miles of territory. T, re is trite old saying that Tn multitude of counsel there is wisdom" However this is a matter of detail, which may easily be worked out.
 "The idea now is. for the thousands who favor a change in our present e1- pensive system of city government for the sake of economy, efficiency and action to consolidate their strength in choosing a senator and severl mem bers of the house who will pledge themselves to give us the much de- sired relief"

 "I am for the Ford bid because it is the best one 1 see" said Judge AL len. Ford has not the same motive as have the other bidders as his is merely to operate the plants for the n,anufactur' ng of essentials and will do the whole country good. while the other bidders want q monopoly"

FAVORABLE REPORT
 ON MANAGER PLAN
Junior Chamber Preparing for Big Gridiron Dinner
 March 30

Junior Chamber of Commerce is preparing for two interesting occa- sions. They are the special meeting of March 23 when the city govern ment committed will report favor ably on the city manager plan, and the gridiron affair of March 30.
 Tho city government committee will report about as follows:
 That referendum held in Bir- mingham among 1,50e voters was, by a large majority. in favor of the manager plan. the vote in its favor being more than that for aldermanic and commission forms put together. Aldermanic form was least popular.
 That In cities, where the man ager plan operates. overwhelming majority of opinion obtained by cor respondence from citizens in many walks of life favors retention of the manager plan and is opposed to changing back to other forms. either a1dermanic or commission.
 The committees findings will be in favor of the manager plan and will so recommend to the membership. on the latter's indorsement the chamber, it is understood, will inau- gurate a campaign looking to having the Birmi ngham charter so changed in the next legislature that Birnnins- ham will go under the manager plan.
 The annual dinner. which will be a gridiren affair. will be favored with series of entertaining stunts, most of which are being kept secret. It is understood that one feature will the city commission. Rumor has it that various members Of the cham ber will impersonate Messrs. McIen- don, Cloe, ct al.

 Depicts Work of Near
 East Relief Committee

Three years ago a little girl about years of age. was picked up on the streets of Constantinople and sent to one of the orphanges maintained there by Americans. She was ragged and hungry and knew nothing of her parents or herself. She was just one among thousands of small children who had been left alone in the world to starve because of the determine tion of the Turks to exterminate all Christians in Aremnia and other Near East countries.
 Two years later she was selected from among several thousand chill dren to play the heroine in Alice in Hungerland,' moving picture de- picting conditions in the Near East and particularly the work of the Near East Relief committee. She was selected by the director of the moving picture because of her beauty and her genius.
 This picture will be shown to- morrow night at 7:30 o'clock in the Sunday school auditorium of the First Methodist church; Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock at the South side Baptist church, and Wednesday night at the Vine Street Presby- terian church, West End. No admis- sion fee is charged
