Williams Plumbing And Heat ing Company Handles
 Large Order

All branches of the building trades reflect the prosperous conditions which now so generally prevail throughout the Birmingham district and a recognized leader in the plumb ing, heating and ventilation trade is found in the establishment of the Williams Plumbing and Heating com pany, located at 200S Fourth avenue, and of which D. NJ. Williams is pres ident
 While this firm does business in all it's branches it probably leads in heat ing and ventilation. They employ none but highly skilled men and have the reputation of being prompt in the execution of their contracts and doing first class work.
 Among the large contracts recently completed by this firm is the in stallation of the heating and ven tilation system of the Masonic Temple (this contract amounted to over s60,- 000), the construction of the new power house and heating system at the home for the feeble minded at Tuscaloosa. They are installing the heating system of the city market, now under construction.
 Mir Williams states that business conditions generally are good and that while the advance in the cost of building materials has had the ten dency to delay some building projects, there is plenty of building going on in and around Birmingham. MT. Will Hams is of the opinion that there will be no reduction in the price of build ing material fo~ some time to come, as according to government statis- tics there is shortage of houses throughout the United States of sev-
 eral millions and that the building of this shortage will maintain prices at or above the present figures

SAL0NIKA REC0VERS| FORMER PROSPERITY
Other Parts Of Greece Still Suffers
 Economic Blight

SALONIKA, Greece, April lS- While other parts of Greece have been suffering from the economic blight and commercial stagnation en- gendered by the disastrous Asia Mi- nor military campaign. Salonika has been making remarkable strides to- ward regaining the prosperity anI prestige it enjoyed before the aWar. The city where Paul first preached the gospel to the unbelievers Is fast becoming one of the most important ports in the Near East.
 Three factors have contributed to this. The destruction by fire of smyrna has diverted a considerable part of the traffic of that once great port to Salonika, which is only 30 hours distant. Then the recent agree ment between Greece and Jugoslavia by which the latter country is given a free commercial outlet at Salonika, has given a distinct impetus to the import and export business of the city. The third element in Saloni- kas commercial rehabilitation is the vigorous work of the residents in reconstructing the city, which was laid waste by fire in 1918. Whole blocks of modern business buildings hotels warehouses, gara ges and cin- ema houses are springing up, seem inGly overnight.
 Greece and Jugoslavia are now working in the closest economic and political harmony. This is due prin- cipally to the policy of the present revolutionary government in Athens in adopting the former Nenizelist at titude toward Jugoslavia, which al ways was based upon the most friendly relations with the Serbs. The commercial convention by which Jugoslavia is given customs and ad- ministrative control of Salonika while that city remains under the sovereignty of Greece, win be of vast benefit to both countries. Greece is assured of the fullest military and moral support from J1goslavia ill the event of aggression from Greece's troublesome neighbors, Turkey and Bulgaria. For the first time in cen turies Jugoslavia will have free ac cess to the Aegean sea. This will give her direct trade routes to the markets of Europe and is of vital importance to the Serbs, as their only other ports are small and inac- cessible towns on the Dalmatian coast,
