boatc He was pronounced in his praise of the vessel and her equip ment. Mrs. Joseph accompanied her husband on the trip Md with him visited a number of the European capitals.
 The journey was rAade as much for business as pleasure, he said, and numbers of orders were placed at different celebrated sources of fine supplies, it being the policy of the company to handle its purchases for the business in large quantities to give their patrons selection of the best that Europe as well as America can offer, and at prices made possible only through direct quantity purchase.
 MT. Joseph stated that while the three big firms in Memphis. New Orleans and Birmingham were af- filiated, each would retain its auton- omy with no changes in any local official staff, that his attentions would be confined to the Brming- ham business, mainly and that he expected to make Birmingham his home in the future as he has in the past

KIWANIS GROWING,
 BAILEY DECLARES
Field Representative Com mends Work Of Birming-
 ham Club For Boys Here

Steady increase in the number or Kiwanis clubs is reported by off cials of the organization here, who are in touch with it's development in the national field. New clubs are being formed in southern states particularly.
 Jeff Bailey, district secretary of the organization in Alabama ana Florida, who returned a few weeks ago from Florida reports the forma- ton of three new clubs in that state. Regarding the work being done, MT. Bailey said;
 T am mighty proud of the Bir- bingham Kiwanis club. have just returned to Birmingham from a months trip through Florida, where built new clubs at Fort Lauder dale, Titusville and St. Augustine, making the number in Florida how %.
 ham and found my club buckling down to the task of making home for the over five hundred 'newsies, it hit me three inches under the collar bone on the left-hand side. Then, too, to know that universally loved Jack Adams Is at the bat, lead ing the Kiwanis team on to that goal necessary to make possible a chance for these embryo men now of the streets, l was assured that is would go over big.
 Everyone knows that the main objective of Kiwanis International is the work of the underprivileged child, and when club grabs off task as big and as important as the raising of fund sufficient to erect aa adequate home for these little business men, it shows that they have taken the work of internation- al seriously and intend to count. Then, too, to know that members of the Kiwanis club alone have sub scribed over 25,000 to this fund to show their earnestness, it is some thing to be proud of.
 Alabama now has 29 clubs and Florida 25. When one thinks that three in the two states, it gives an idea of the merit of the organiza- ton, of course, but more does one consider the personnel of these clubs, for if there was not a proper selection in choosing the member such telling effect.
 "On Monday night Jules Brazil, the unique entertainer from To- ronto. Canada. will perform at the Ladies Night meeting of the Jas per club. On Tuesday night Mir Brazil will be the all-star attraction at the Ensley club, at which time Fairfield, Birmingham and Ensley Kiwanlans will join in a Ladies Night These clubs. with the excep- tion of Birmingham, which by the way is the mother club In the Alabama Florida district, are all young clubs, but full of pep and are GOlnE a splendid work"
 Outside of being district secretary in the Alabama Florida district MT Bailey is also field representative of international kiwanis in these two states and Mississippi and has full supervision of all new clubs built in these three states.

LICENSE PAYMENTS
 REPORTED DELAYED
Judge Stiles Warns Against Slow
 ness In Making Application

It will be necessary to issue more than the $50 business licenses day to get all of them issued by Novem- Der l, according to figures given out Saturday at the probate office. Applications have been slow, with a total of only 1,064 issued up to noon Saturday. Nearly 5000 were issued last year.
 About 1000 automobile licenses have been issued, or only about a fifth of the total required. The time limit on these is November 15, but business firms are obliged to get their licenseG by the first of the month.
 Judge Stiles pointed out Saturday that if the business firms waited until the last day or two, his office would be unable to issue them fast enough. In that case many will be caught after November 1 without them and subject to the 15 per cent penalty.
