Lack Of Surface Protection Results
 In Useless Waste

Property owners of Birmingham are suffering an annual loss of s2,- 2S0,0o0 due to depreciation by rot and rust, and amounts to s1275 per person, almost three times the per capita loss by fire" declared Arthur M. East of Philadelphia business manager of the Save the Surface campaign, at a meeting Tuesday of the Birmingham paint trade held at the Chamber of Commerce.
 This loss" MT. East said, lis all most entirely due to neglect of pro- pertY and can be prevented by the use of paint and vsrnish. He said that more than billion dollars worth of property is allowed to rot and rush away each year simply be- cause owners fail to give it the that the nation IS years behind with it's home building program on ac- count of increased cost in lumber and labor.
 "The person who looks at paint as a beautifier only is years behind the times. The primary purpose of paint is to protect-to prevent moisture and changing temperature from at tactipg exposed surfaces. A new floor costs fifty times as much as d new coat of varnish. Mir. Feast said
 At the conclusion of this talk, the Save the Surface motion picture film entitled Brushing Up" was exhibited before large gathering of Brming- ham paint healers and master paint CTS. The picture dealt with topics of general interest not only to dealers and painters but to property owners and outlined various means and methods of property protection and preservation by means of paint and varnish, and stressed the inn portance of a systematic effort on the part of paint dealers and rainters in getting owners of property inter- ested and educated in the matter of paint as a preserver, and it's part in increasing values of property.

SOUTH HIGHLANDS J|TNE:Y 0PERATO ORS WANT EIGHT CENTS
Proposed Line Extension and Rising Price of Gasoline Given as Reasons
 for Increase

Jitney operators on the South Highlands line are preparing to ask the city commission to allow them to increase ,heir fare from seven to eight cents in few days, according to A. C. Smith, city jitney inspec- tor.
 With the tentative plan of length ening the line four blocks, jitney men feel that they are justified in raising the fare by one cent, accord ing to Smith. Their prese-.e plan is to run north from the present ter mius. Fourteenth avenue and Pheian Place two blocks to Sixteenth ave- nue, one block west to Thirteenth street, then one block north to Seventeenth avenue. By thus eX- tending their line four blocks more, jitney service will be available to a much greater number of residents, 1t is claimed.
 Anothe~ reason for a raise brought out by the jitney men was the great ly increased operating expense brought on by recent skyrocketing in the price of gasoline. It was pointed out that the price of gasoline has advanced from four to SIX cents d gallon on various k.nds during the past three weeks.
 South Highlands jitney operators, who recently obtained an injunction restraining the city from collecting the starter fee pro iced for by city ordinance, formed an organization of their own last week nc have placed Jimmy Rhodes. one of their oldest imam hers on the line as che ker. Cars arJ being started from Fourteenth street and Fourteenth avenue, south, at intervals of a minute and half. Rhodes is paid by the organization, receiving 25 cents day from each rar.
