Alabama'S Defeat of PennsyI- vania Brings Great Rejoic- ing to Alumni of
 University

Birmingham alumni of the Univer- sity of Alabama are scheduled to meet at o'clock today at the Tut wiler hoted to prepare for cleaning up Birmingham's quota of s35O, ,000 in the university million dollar cam paign, but with the Alabama victory over Pennsylvania still agitating their delirious minds. today's lunch con is expected to be turned into a celebration of the great football vic tory.
 Alabama alumni went wild when the wires brought in the news of the 9-7 victory over Pennsylvania. con- qrerors of the Navy, Saturday after noon. The team which had so far been almost an ugly duckling' had turned itself into the go1d-embroid- cred, silk-lined pride or the south.t Loyal alumni. who had stuck by the team through it's days of diversity and defeat, were scarcely able to be- lieve 1t was true when they learned that the team had exceeded their fond est hopes and had conquered the dis tinguished northern team on it's first invasion of Yankeeland
 When the news of the victory was learned the alumni workers in the million dollar campaign renewed their determination to win out in their attempt to raise Birmingham s quota of s350,000. If the team could achieve the impossible and bring vic tory back from it's first northern fn- vasion. the loyal workers in the cam paign announced that they could turn an already successful campaign into a more complete success. A total Of $235,o00 has already been raised in Birmingham for the uni versity and the alumni will start out Monday morning to obtain the re- mainder of the quota before the cele- bration on the university campus Friday.

 Captain Cooper's reply read:
 Best wishes to you and every Ala : bama alumnus in the million dollar Aequit yourselves like men. Be strong. The fight you are making for the future of the uni versity Is even more important than the battle we had to go through Saturday afternoon We are bring ing back Pennsy1vania's scalp to hang up in the 'Bama gym. Can you put over a victory for the university, too? Fight, Alabama, fight"

SUCCESS ATTENDS
 OPENING CONCERT
Director Erickson Presents Enlarged Orchestra in High
 ly Appreciated Program

Throngs of Birmingham music lovers heard the orchestral concert at the Lyric theatre yesterday aft ernoon, which marked the opening of the season of the Birmingham Music association. 1t was one of the larg- est attended and most successful in- door music programs ever presented here. Every number of the orchestra elicited enthusiastic applause. The splendid work of O Gordon Brick son. director, was shown in the ex- ceptionally fine results displayed.
 The program opened with the over ture from William Tell.r in which strings and reeds showed to par ticular advantage. Especially effec- tive was the flute obligato in th.s selection.
 Tn the Garden, a movement from Goldmarck' Rural Wedding Sym phny,@ was delightfully."- given. Light and capricious. 1t was a well chosen follower of the heavier overture
 Mrs. Walter Brewer sang with wonderful success the difficult Shadow Song" from "Dinorah." Ap- preciation by the audience of results that were really unusual was evil denced in Mrs. Brewers being called for an encore.
 Selections from Madame Butter- fly were magnificent in the effec- tive transition of moods and tones. This number was followed by/ the weird rhythm of an Indian love sons, Pale Moon by F. K. Logan.
 S'The Flower Waltz from Tschai- kowsks Nut Cracker Suite" offered bright contrast in a delightful clos ing number.
 The strings of the new orchestra deserve much praise, for in the effec- tiveness and beauty of their work they were remarkably successful. Five viollns have been added to the orchestra this year, and the results yesterday amply justify the addition.

"To Burn or Not To Burn," Commissioner Pond CTS, And Decides "To Burn"


 Due to the fact that residents of Birmingham have dutifully complied with the request from w. E. Dickson, commissioner of pub lie parks and improvements, that they refrain from burning leaves that have piled up on the asphalt paved streets. falling autumn leaves have to great extent marred the beauty of many streets in Birmingham and caused numer- ous complaints to come into Dick sons office.
 Commissioner Dickson has de- ciced that he will modify his re- quest and sanction the burning of leaves in the concrete or brick gutters, as this will not injure the pavement.
 The original request was made by the commissioner on the ground that the asphalt in many instances was being ruined by the hot fires caused by burning leaves.

Workers during the recent strike made

no that, in part at least, cessation OF
mining was brought about.
Successful fights by unionG have
been followed invariably by heavy nc
cretions to the membership OF the or
Kanizations. and It IL believed by those
who view tho action OF tho steel com
panIes az not entirely alturistc that
Yesterdays announced advances are
intended AS a flank movement TO halt
the growth OF unionism among the
steel companies, which came union
ism In large part disappeared fol-
lowing the last unsuccessfui strike OF
the Steel Corporation employees.
BY many. too. the belief II expressed
that yesterdays announced action
marks the turn OF tho tide in the at
tempt to "liquidatc labor" certainly
for time. II this be true, It II prob
able that there soon will be a general
stabilixation OF Industrial AFFAIRS upon
a basis considerably higher than tina,
existing before tho war.
Added strength II given to tho opin-
ions expressed above by the statement
that accompanied the announced ad.
vancea In waEes TO tho effect thai
other rates would "be equitably ad.
| justed."
The Steel Corporation has about 22o..
600 men on Its pay roll, but $4,000 are
in the mining and transportation de.
partments and 10000 only will be af
fected by yesterdays announcement
The increase Is the first since Febru
