Birmingham municipal auditorium will be officially opened June 1, 1t was announced at the city hall Sat urday morning.
 Preparations are already under way to celebrate the occasion fittingly Starting with october rehearsals will begin for festival of music that will be given in tine auditorium and will continue through a week with an en- tire change of program each evening and several matinees again different from the evening entertainments.
 Eight grand opera stars and other national figures in the realm of music will be hearu. But Nle basis of the music will be a chorus of 500 voices, an orchestra of 75 pieces, and @ chorus made up of 1000 children. Gordon Erickson will have charge.
 Next Monday evening the first meeting of the chorus of 500 will be held on the third floor of Clarke & Jones music store, 1925 Third avenue. MT. Erickson has invited all singers of Birmingham to join.
 City authorities desire to make of the auditorium a community center in the truest sense of the word, and not simply a "hall" to be hired for the use of visiting attractions. For this reason the music festival was planned so that the use of the great struc- ture for and by the people who built it may be brought home to all.
 However the auditorium 5ill be ex- pected to function and pay it's own expenses through use of it by out siders brought to Birmingham under the auspices of local persons or in stitutions.
 To advertise the building MT. Erickson has compiled a booklet on Birmingham and the auditorium. This will be ready for distribution this week. II contains brief and accurate data on the city and is profusely illustrated with scenes in and about Birmingham.
 In authorizing the pamphlet Presi- dent D. E. McLendon of the city com mission had R mind the contradiction of the many peculiar beliefs held in some parts of the United States about snufhern cities being built in low

lying lands and under unmoCNrn con ditions. Letters come to the city and to Birming Sam organiZ& ions from time to time from persons who have been advised to move to the south, who ask what, to the southern peo- pie, are very silly questions, but there is no doubt of the earnestnesS on the part of the iu-informed ques- tioners. For instance, one letter re- ceived in Birmingham within the month wanted to know if alligators were as bad on the streets at night as they were during the day. An other wanted to know if Blrming- ham ever intended draining the swamps in it's business center.
 It is just such utter foolishness and wrongful impressions as these besides to advertise the presence of the audi torium, that the booklet has been made. The scenes depicted take in the residence, manufacturing bust" ness and other important areas, show the building. streets, avenues, pleas ure parks, great industrial buildings and generally give correct impress sion to the outsider of what Bir- mingham is really like. The book will be sent whenever the address is obtainable to those who ask about the city, and will be forwarded to national organizations which hold an- nual conventions.
 Specific data will be given about the auditorium, its capacity and ac- commodations for various sorts of gatherings. displays and exhibits, as well as for carnivals, athletic events, recitals, dances. concerts, festivals, and other attractions needing large space and with plenty of seating ca- pacity provided.
 The building has been under con- struction some two months and the work is reported going on satisfac- torily. The foundations have been laid. the wooden forms for the con crete walls built and the walls are expected to be completed within a few weeks When they are up the task of building the great steel work for the upper stories and roof will be started.

CITY TAXES STEPS
 TO BLOCK J|TNEYS FROM OPERATIONS
CIoe Must Approve All Li- cense Applications Before
 Their Issuance

Birmingham officialdom holds that jitney by any other name is just a cheat and is taking steps to make sure that applicants for licenses to do business as taxi caps will be is sued for the operations of vehicles that come entirely within the defint- tion of a taxi cab
 That this stand on the part of the municipality is known generally Is evinced In the fact that no applica- tions have been made in the city hall for taxi cabs other than by individu- als whose preparations for render ing service entirely meet all require ments.
 So there can be no mistake about it, the city has a printed form al- ready on hand specifying what the business of a taxi cab is and pro- viding that drivers and operators of them meet the city's requirements
 To be doubly sure City Comptroller IT. NJ. Taylor has received the writ ten opinion Of City Attorney w. J. Wynn covering the matter and is prepared to act accordingly.
 All applications must be passed on by the police authorities and must be approved by the commissioner of public safety before even going to the comptroller. Under the law the comptroller cannot issue a taxi cao license without the acquiescence of the police commissioner.

 Wynn Advises Taylor
 The letter from the city. attorney to the comptroller is as follows;
 "In re License to Interurban Taxi cab Company.
 'In reply to your oral inquiry con- corning the above matter, I beg to advise that I have investigated this question, and in my opinion the only legal manner in which the licenses may be issued to taXicab companies is under the provisions of Ordinance 759-C. as amended. This ordinance applies to both taXicabs and jitneys It has been superseded in so far as jitneys are concerned to some extent by the latter ordinance, No. S41-C, but it remain in full force and ef- feet in so far as taxicabs are concern ed.

tneclal Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The length
OF a skirt is a matter of moment to
all women and many men, both for
business and personal reasons. For
the benefit of those SO interested it
may be stated authoritatively that the
first lady of the land will wear her
skirts this spring. approximately six
inches from the ground.
The writer is able, through ex-
press permission. to give descriptions
of some of the latest additions to Mrs.
Harding's spring apparel, recently re-
ceived at the White House. These
show an abiding sense of Individual
ity. wonderful conception of color
values. a sure judgment of becom-
ingness Of design and a total avoid
ance of extremes of styles.
Conservatism is keynote of Mrs.
Harding'S ideas in dress. as is the
case also with the President himself.
Yet the haute couture declare that the
clothes of no other mistress of the
White House have been SO admired
for their appropriateness and smart
ness. Perhaps these two latter fac
tors help to account for the fact that
the President and his wife are count
ed among the best-dressed men and
women in America.
Green is a color which has found
favor in Mrs. Harding's new costumes.
Ror example. gown she wore at the
theater recently was of beautiful
mauve lace. With this she wore a
brocaded cape of apple green, with a
deep mauve ostrich trimming which
formed high rolled collar, making a
wonderful background for her face.
One or her new Semi-eVening
