IMPROVEMENTS 0N
 | H|O BEGINNING
 T0 SHOW RESULTS
S1,000,000 Will Be Spent In Building Craft For
 River

PITTSBURG. Pa, April 27.-First results of the federal governments intention to continue improvements on the Ohio river are seen here in the announcement of Jones & Laugh lin Steel company that it has awarded contracts for steamboats, barges and landings to the extent of about one million dollars, the money to be available for immediate expenditure.
 Plans of Pittsburg district steel companies for use of the Ohio river to take their products to market in- clude water route to points on the lower Ohio and on the Mississippi. At these points the shipments are transferred to railroads. and then moved forward to their destinations. Mill traffic managers hold that this system enables them to get shipments out of the congested Pittsburg dis- trict in short order and deliver them to southern railroads which. being much less congested, are able to hand them over to the consumer at considerable saving of time. In some instances the water route from Pittsburg to the southern port about equals the haul after delivery to the railroad, but in many cases, such as the shipment of oil well material to the Arkansas, Louisiana and Okla homa fields, the rail haul is consid- erably shorter
 Another element which encourages steel manufacturers to use the Ohio Is the amount of material which a tow can handle. Sometimes one boat Is able to take enough steel to load 200 freight cars. This plan, they de- clare saves just that many cars for points which cannot be reached by water

CAMERA MAN IS HERE IN FILMING OF FIRE IN "NINEN AND NINE ~ Risks Life To Photograph
 Picture Showing At

This fact is especially exemplified in this film, the fire scenes of which were photographed by Steve Smith. -Jr.
 The mind of the spectator in the theatre often Is so engaged in the sensations of the actor in the thrill scenes of big pictures, and in the ab sorbing action which is taking place before him that he forgets 1t is a picture where camera i<ln has had to face whatever perils appear on the screen.
 In the filming of the scene in The Ninety and Nine" where the train speeds toward the camera. Smith was standing on platform built on an- other locomotive, and was unguarded and flame. Sparks from the burning trees along the road bed burned his clothing, and he was in constant dan ger of the film In the magazine of his camera exploding from the terrific heat. He had no protection from falling limbs, and retake of one scene was required when broken branch knocked the camera from its tripod. Smiths nervy catch of the heavy camera and the agility with which he balanced himself and pre- vented a fall which might have meant his death, was highly complimented by Director David Smith upon the re- turn to the studios at Hollywood.

Mrs Iosephine sarda, 2sOs sev-

Mrs. Josephine Sarda. 260s Sew enth avenue, found, in recorders court Friday, there were other ways of disposins of a litter of puppies than burying them under the ground.
 Witnesses stated they saw Mrs. Sarda go into her back yard, dig small hole and deposited a sack. Two neishbors witnessed the strange proceedings and heard the whine of a puppy.
 Mrs. Sarda soon came back, dug up the sack, buried it little deeper and tramped the ground. Both neighbors became suspicious and called Fred Fender. humane officer. MT. Fender unearthed five young puppies, not more than three or four days old. One of them had almost dug himself to freedom.
 MT. Fender placed Mrs. Sarda under arrest for cruelty to ami mals and took the puppies to the Humane society's rescue home, where one died.
 Mrs. Sarda. through her law yers, told Judge Martin that was the way they disosed of puppies in the old country. He told her there was another way in the United States and fined her $25. Mrs. Sarda appealed her case.

CENTRAL HIGH SENIORS PLEASING IN COMEDY

Three members at least of the se- nior class of the Central High school are surely slated for the footlights if they continue the stride they struck in the presentation Friday night of three-act comedy. Come Out of the Kitchen" by pupils of the senior class at the Jefferson theatre.
 A capacity audience greeted the players and cheered them heartily in recognition of some exceptional act ing for high school pupils.
 To George Huntington Clark, ae Solon Tucker. go the honors. Mir. Clark played his part well as se- date attorney, a distinguished mem Der of the bar, and furnished the comedy as all older men do when they fall victim to the wiles of a pretty girl.
 Noteworthy also 10 the work of Ll- Han Fearn. as Olivia pangerfield, and Susan Cobb as Mrs. Faulkner. a designing mother.
 Probably there has never been pre- sented in Birmingham a sisilar pro- duction so wholly lacking an anna teurish touch.-R. w. K.

t. \. R. RANKS ARE
 BECOMING SMALL AS MEETING WEARS
White Haired Veterans Are Answering Taps Of
 Old Age

DIES MONIES, la, April 27.-The staunch blue line of Civil war vet erans, survivors of the historic in ternecine conflict of more than 60 years ago. is rapidly being decl- mated from year to year, according to figures on file at the headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic here.
 In 1922 the number of c. A. R. veterans dwindled by 14,512. de- crease from an enrolment of 5,6xS in 1921, to an enrolment of 71,1o6 at the beginning of 1923, according to figures in the hands of National Commander H. W. Willett here. Dur ing that time the number of active posts in the country decreased from 421S to 3,659, indicating the aban- donment of 55s posts.
 One by one the white-haired vet erans of Shiloh, Lookout mountain, Gettysburg and Chickamausa are answering the call of taps which rades on the field of battle from '6l to '65.
 Preparations are being made here for the national encampment of the G. A. R. which Is to be held in Mill waukee this fall. Attendance esti- mates have been set at 10000 as a possible maximum figure. Members of auxiliary organizations including the Sons and Daughters of Veterans, may bring the total attendance up to 5O,0C0. the officials say.
 Great care is being taken this year in the Identification and housing Of the veterans. Forms will be filled out chN tnU hn and organization and on this blank will be filed the housing information, thus avoiding confusion in registra- tion and elimination of the red tape that heretofore is said to have been confusing to the old soldiers.

PERUVIAN WOMEN UNITING TO WIN
 RIGHT OF BALLOT
Visit of Mrs. Catt Brings Im- petus To Feminist Move-
 ment

LIMA, Peru, April 25.-For the first time In the history of Peru a representative group of women has formed permanent organization to further the feminist movement in the republic.
 Lima has been entertaining Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the well known American suffrage leader. In a se- ries of lectures, one of which was given in the historic University of San Marcos. she has been able to reach large part of the intelligent women of the different social classes. As a result of these meetings there has been organized body tC be known as the N'National Council of Women" which draws it's membership from the higher and middle classes of society.
 Little Progress Made.
 Little definite progress had been made in the woman's movement in Peru prior to Mrs Catt's arrival. Sev- eral clubs existed among Peruvian women, social, charitable and other wise, but only one to further wom- ans suffrage. No general organiza- tion similar to the National Council of Women, however, had been at tempted, as women are not organized for campaign purposes in South America.
 No immediate effort will be made to obtain, the vote for Peruvian women, a goal which is believed to be many years in the future. The newly organized council will work first tC secure civil rights for women, such as have been conceded in the more progressive countries of the world. Leaders of the movement in Peru recognize that the two greatest obstacles to success are the natural timidity of the average Latin Amer ican woman, and the marked clevage between the social classes. Until so- eral lines are less emphasized. it will be difficult for the women as a whole to work in harmony, and progress in the suffrage movement
