SAYS ROADS PREPARED
 FOR GRAIN MOVEMENT

D. D. Conn, chairman of the public relations division of the American Railway association, told the mem bers of the Birmingham Traffic and Transportation club at Mondays luncheon in the Hillman hotel that the railroads had prepared to handle the western grain movement this year without inconvenience or handi- cap on the transportation facilities ot the south and east
 To that end there was a movement daily of 950 cars from the St. Lotus and Chicago gateways to the west to care for the grain movement. Owing to better car distribution the several sections of the country will be better served this fall than ever before. This better service, Mir. Conn indicated, is not due to more cars, but to better observance of shipping rules and amenities both by the railroads and by the public.
 It was also indicated that the rail roads will have a minimum number oe bad order cars and locomotives on hand by September l, and that coal would have been stored in larger quantities than ever before, thus re leasing a maximum of railroad eQiup- ment for the general public.
 There is little or no complaint of car shortage any wherein the cOun- try. said Mr. Conn Transportation is operating more smoothly than of record.

the new ordinance will practically kill the jitney business in Birming- ham.
 Shortly after the injunction was granted attorneys for the city filed petition for the dissolution of the injunction declaring that the grounds upon which it was sought by the jitney operators was not sufficient and that the statements made in the jitney operators petition were un- true.
 The case was set to be heard ten days ago but on the plea of attor- neys for the city that they had not had time to prepare their case Judge Walker passed it until July II.

Ben r. Padgett. of the Z. w.
Rogers Realty and Trust Company
Of Atlanta at recent board meet
ing, told of the progress his agency
is making in colonization. That
agency secured extensive hstings OF
farm lands in Georgia, and opened
an office in Cleveland. where d.
rect contact with the farmers of the
Middle West can be had.
1t is the general plan to select
some of the best and cheapest farm
lands in the State and center their
efforts on them, bringing them to
the attention of Western farmers.
Farm lands in Georgia have al
ways been ridiculously cheap, and
especially so now because of the
boil weevil and some migration of
farm labor. This factor, combined.
with advantages of climate and di-
versity Of soil, making possible the.
raising of every product except trop-
ical and semi-tropical fruit the real
tors intend to advertise to the OUT
side world.
They figure that If the tide of
farm migration can once be start

Where a room is not large the
walls should be done in plain ef-

case where the surface is broken

surfaces, especially large halls, may
well be broken. up with decorations.
Large flat surfaces present a dis

they should be avoided wherever
possible beauty is. desired.
Doors. windows or other archi-
tectural features must, of course,
agree with the rest of the room.
Don't paint the door white, as is
sometimes done when the room is
treated with dark hangings and
colors. But doors may be made to
correspond with the wood of the
furniture, which may easily be done
by granting old work or staining

Interior. decorating is classed under

oil varniSh or sheilac.. A decorative
floor would be such as is furnish

lightest in color and figuring.
The use of room is the first
