CLOE WANTS TRUCKS TO SOUND WARNINGS
Proposed Ordinance Would Have
 Vehicles Stop At Alley Mouths


 Commissioner w. B. Cloe has start ed the necessary machinery going to have drawn up, and most probably passed a "toot and rush" ordinance. Funny name, isn't it?" asked the commissioner. But see if that isn't the way motor vehicles impress you when they are coming out of alleys at point where you are walking along the sidewalk"
 Mr. Cloe, Tuesday morning, said the matter has been under observa- ton for some time by police authori- ties, and while he disliked to add more ordinances to the list, there was a constant menace to pedes- trians, especially to children and elderly people. from motor vehicles darting into and out of alleys and premises across the sidewalks.
 Many of them are moving slowly and carefully" MT. Cloe said, lat such times. but it is unpleasantly startling to think yourself safely on the side walk and look up to see the fore end of great truck moving toward you a scant four feet away. It has nearly given me heart disease a hun dred times. Whether or not they sound their horns, that helps but little, for unconsciously the pedes- trian on the sidewal thinks the horn warning comes from a vehicle in the street.
 "The gist of the ordinance which I have asked the legal department to draft will be that 1t is unlawful for any vehicle to enter or emerge from an alley or premises without coming to a full stop before crossing the sidewalk"

ELABORATE LINES OF NEWS CLOTHES SHOWN IN CHICAGO
KIotzman Says Retail Cloth iers' Meeting Complete
 In All Details

The most elaborte line of fall and winter models of mems clothing ever on display was shown at the gather ing of the National Retail Clothiers' association in Chicago last week, as which event were present between $500 and 4,000 members of the as sociation, representing every state and important city in the union. ac returned to Birmingham Saturday cording to Charles D. Klotzman, who from Chicago.
 The event was staged on the muni- cipal pier, extending miles into the lake, and besides the display of new styles, was complete from an amuse- ment standpoint. The loose fitting coat with full trousers are greate.y in demand among the well dressed young man, and are popular every where, MT. Klotzman stated. Society Brand clothes, for which his store has the exclusive agency in Birming- ham, constituted an important part of the display.
 Optimism prevailed among prac- tically every member of the entire gathering as to the business outlook for fall and winter. MT. Klotzman stated, and 1t was the opinion ex- pressed that sales would show larger volume than during the same period one year ago. Already his sales have shown a decided increase Nllh DuSlheSS, DellSI HOW llidu TOT several monthe past according to MT. Klotzman. His store is showing the "Cambridge" and the Cornell" as its two most popular Society Brand suits for fall. These two models, are stated to combine servicability with true style and economy, and are classed as the height of perfection in the clothes makers art. Prices for new fall and winter goods will vary little from those of last sea- son. it is stated. though Society Brand styles are reported as being more ap- pealing than anything ever-offered by those popular clothes makers.

REFUND OF FARES. DURING FALL SHOW TO BE ATTRACTION
Committees Busy Tuesday In Making Plans For Banner
 Industrial Exhibit

Every person who comes to Bir- mingham for the fall festival and industrial exhibit to be held during the week beginning October 29, will have their railroad fare refunded whether they come on the train, In automobiles, airshfps, or ride mule back, provided appropriate purchases are made of those merchants who contribute to a fund to make the event possible, O. l.. Bum, secretary manager of the Chamber of Com merce, stated Tuesday afternoon fol- lowing a meeting of the transporta- tion committee.
 Reduced rates of one and one-half fares will be granted if recommenda- tions of passenger agents of every railroad entering Birmingham are acted favorably upon. The passenger men and members of the transporta- tion committee threshed the matter out at a meeting Tuesday afternoon with the result the proposition Will be immediately taken up with heads of the various roads.
 Members of the finance commit tee Tuesday morning started an active campaign of the business houses in an effort to raise suffi- cient funds with which to assure the success of the week. Partial reports turned in during the faternoon ln- dicate a gratifying degree of success is being met with.

COMMISSION SHES
 AT SIGHTSEEING BUS
Permit Denied Gustin To Operate
 From Post Office To Mountain

Holding that the term, "sight-see- ing bus" was too broad and covered so much territory, the city commis' sion Tuesday morning declined per- mission to grant permit for the operation of such a vehicle to J. !. Gustin.
 The appplication was for the privi- leeg of operating a sightseeing bu1 between the postoffice and Shades mountain, but the commission held that though the sights between these two points might be well worth see ing, there was too much of saVor ol jitneyism in the plan as outlined, a possible taking of passengers every day between their homes and their work for sightseeing along the way.
 Commissioner Cloe stated it as his belief the proposition was simply a way to get the privilege of making the postoffice a bus station, instead of using the regulation stand that has been set aside by the city near the new municipal market.
 Several of the commissioners said they approved the idea of a sight seeing bus and would vote for one that was designated to offer such service to visitors who wished to get a quick and comprehensive view of places in and near the city, but they would continue to frown on anything they considered a subterfuge to evade the provisions of the settlement ordi- nance. votd for by the people which placed jitneys and buses beyond the pale in Birmingham.

BOARD OF REVENUE
 AWARDS CONT RACT .FOR OILS AND GAS
Domestic Relations Court To Get Two Automobiles For
 The Use Of Workers

Contracts were awarded by the board of revenue Tuesday morning to the Texas oil company for supply ing the county with gasoline, kero- sene and lubricating oils for the cur rent year, the award being on condi- tion that the Texas oil company give a bond to the effect that their prod ucts must be the equivalent of any other, regardless. of price on which bids were made. This contract calls for approximately 100000 gallons of gasoline, 50,O0O gallons of kerosene, and 1S,000 gallons of lubrlcating oils. It was bid for by several companies. The contract price for gasoline is 3 cents below the retail selling price; for kerosene, 1 cent below prevailing retail prices, and 26 cents gallon for specified heavy auto oil.
 The same or approximate prices were bid by other companies for ga5- oline and kerosene, but on the lubri- eating oil there was a difference Of several cents between the Texas com- panys bid and the next lowest.
 contract was awarded to the Avery Road Machine company for road roller. to be used in road con struction work. for $4,575.75. There was considerable discussion as to the fuel to be used, it being finally de- cided to purchase machine burning kerosene.
 request was made for the pur- chase of three automobiles for the use of members of the court of do- mestic relations, 1t being said that efficient transportation would dou ble the efficiency of the court. The board voted that two Chevrolet auto mobiles be purchased for their use, to cost s5SS each.
 Spain Gets s3.2OO.
 The sum of $3, 1900 was voted to be paid c. l.. Spain, coroner from 1914 to 1917, as reimbursement for expenses incurred in the discharge of his offi- cial duties. It was pointed out that this request was not for additional compensation, prohibited by law, but for travelling expenses and the com pensaton of a stenographer made necessary by his increased duties.
 Permission was given Chief Deputy Sheriff H. S. Hill to exchange two motorcycles for small automobile without expense to the county. MT. Hill pointed out that motorcycles were not suitable for the work of his office and said that recently two members of his staff had been se vereIy injured from falls on their machines while chasing speeders.
 Because of the rush of applicants for licenses of various kinds at the present time, the board of rhvepue voted to provide three a6slitional clerks in the Birmingham probate of flee and one additional assistant for the Bessemer office.
 The lease of the county highway engineers office was renewed at all advance in rental of $40 a month. the new rental being s175 a month.
 A request from Judge II. B. Aber nathy that Mrs. Huldah Newsome of the court of misdemeanors be sup piled with an automobile was post poned for further consideration.
