TRAFFIC JUGGLING PLANNEDBY BOARD
Only Two Left Turns Will Be Permitted In Business Dis
 triCt Under Law

Complete revolution of Birming- hams traffic laws is the result of the conference the members of the city commission held Monday afternoon. The commissioners stress that they do not intend to adopt the new ordi- nance at the meeting Tuesday morn ing, but only to introduce it and later publish it. By the time of the next regular meeting it will be ready for adoption.
 There are several striking features of the new ordinance, the elimination of left turns, parking parallel to the curb and limitation of parking to one hour.
 Four main thoroughfares have been designated as boulevards, the fname implying that on them all ve- hicles must come to a full stop before crossing any street or avenue. The bouleyards will be First and Third avenue. Twelfth avenue, north and Twenty sixth street, for east and west traffic, and Nineteenth and Twentieth streets for north and south traffic.
 Only two left turns will be permit ted in the business district. both on First avenue and both only for ve- hicles westward bound. Vehicles go- ing west on First avenue may make a left turn to cross the Rainbow via duct on Twenty-first street, and to go sorth from First avenue on Eight .eenth street.
 geant w. w. Brent, of the traffic squad, have worked on the matter for a considerable time. The draft of the ordinance was presented before the commission Monday afternoon and will be officially considered at the meeting Tuesday morning.
 Mir. Cloe explained that the radical changes were in line with the serv- ice of the new system of traffic con- trol beacons to be installed within the next few weeks and the police department was anxious for the citi 'zens to absorb these changes before the light control apparatus Is put in II

BOYS ID ASSUME
 COMMISSION TOGAS
President Pro Tenn To Issue Proclamation Thursday On
 Club Campaign

Birmingham city government will be taken over Thursday by members in good standing of the Birmingham Boys club, five of them filling the chairs for the day of the city com missioners. A proclamation" is to be issued by the President pro tenn" of the city commission, calling on the people of Birmingham 10 aid in the Birmingham Boys Club Building Campaign, which will open officially on the same day, with view of rais- ing $75,000 to be added to the $25,- 900 already subscribed by the Bir- mingham Kiwanis club.
 Members of the city commission have already given their consent, all though Mrs. Mary Echols, one of the city commissioners, insists on her place being filled by girl. It Is be- lieved that the boys will overrule this desire of the woman commissioner and rule" her department also.
 w. J. Adams, chairman of the campaign, spent the greater part of Monday at campaign headquarters, 1910 Fourth avenue, North, and re- ports many assurances of support in the campaign from many quarters. Some of the leading business men of Birmingham have already sent ;n their checks in advance of the open ing of the active campaign, and the special committees which took the field Monday in advance of the cam paign by the regular teams of the Kiwanis club report that they will have some genuine surprises to re- hNrN Nf ions.
 It is important to put these under privileged boys, like any other boys, in proper environment and proper surroundings so that they can get a proper viewpoint of lffe," said Dr. George R. Stuart, pastor of the First Methodist church, in speaking of the value of the campaign to begin Thursday. Tt is also we'll to bear in mind that every great man has had series of years when he has been buried, so to speak, when mo- body paid much attention to him, when nobody seemed to care And let me tell you that the way a boy is treated during the adolescent years or his life has an indelible effect on all of his after life, and that Is something society ought to remember in supporting this work.
 The boy Is everywhere, even in places where he ought not to be. He Is omni-present. And if we want to save the nation 1t is about time we were doing something to save these boys. If you are going to make kind men and gentle men you have to be- gin with the boys. If you want the boys to become murderers, outlaws and criminals. just let them roam our streets at nights and become famil- lar with pistols and instruments of murder as playthings."
