Afraid To Buy.


 "Nowadays we have business men who come between May and July and the summer tourists who stay at the f!rst~class hotels. but who take their meals at fixed price restaurants for five or six francs. They pass their evenings seated outside cafes, con- sum;ng coffee and milk. Nor do the shop keepers reap harvest. With the exception of art objects and jew els, which interest small num- Der of really rich collectors, our vis- jtors hesitate to buy, being always afraid they are paying too dearly. They all visit Germany where they find imitation Partisan products which seem, due to the exchange situation, infinitely more advan- tageous."
 Foreign visitors, the article con ciudes, come to France sometimes s from sympathy, but always for econ- omy.

Tourists From United States Said To Be Economical
 Buyers

PARIS Aug. 1.-The French feel ing toward the tourists who come to their country each summer is typi- cally expressed by LOeuvre. one of the brightest and widest read Paris dailies. The hotel keepers and shop keepers are represented as showing Gnly moderate enthusiasm over the yearly invasion. One restauranteur declared:
 The Americans come to dine once just to see what a noted restaurant is like" said L'Oeuvre. They or der something off the grill and some pastry, and wash it down with min eral water. It's waste of time tC' be insistently spreading wine card before them. They never budge un- less they have ladies with them. The Swedes and English are freer than the Americans in ordering wine. Be- fore the war all the leading restau- rants had a number of rich Amer jeans who came each year and spent without counting. That was some thing, but not as good as the Rus sians or even the Germans.

morrow night. Both teams are
going in first-class shape and it
will be a toss as to who viii
emerge on the tOp-Sidc.

is exceptionally heavy and will
neceSsitate a good line of play
ers if it is to be carried through
in a successful manner.
Probably one. Of the greatest
additions to this basketball ma
chine of late has been secured
in the person Of Big Ike Drei-

feared in athletic circles Of this

known as one Of the speediest

the best playing tomorrow night.
Among the opposing players
will be seen Tommy Diegan, OF
Washington, who is well known

Labor Societies
To Keep Bars Up
Secretary of Labor Davis Lead
ing Forces That Plan Con-
'' = tinued Restriction

Washington, Jan. 19-Respond-
/ ing to the challenge of interests
which seek the revision of pres
lent restrictive immigration laws
to enable more aliens to enter
this country, organized labor and
lpatriotic and fraternal societies,
are making a logged resistance
to all efforts to sway Congress
TO modifcationist views.
Leading all is Secretary Of La
NOR Davis, the cabinet champion
of continued restriction.
Organized labor, headed by
Samuel Gompers, Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, puts its
shoulder to the anti-moditication-
ist wheel because in immigration
it sees a potential menace to IT'S
wartime gains in wages and in
standard OF living.
/ Labor sc3s in a handy source
of supply Of immigrant labor Tor
Industry a similar source Of sup
lply of str.kebreakers. Unimped-
ed immigration is a menace to
labor's strategic plans
Gompers contends that there
would be none of the labor short
ages of which industry complains
if wages permitting a decent
standard of living were paid to
unskilled labor by American IN
dustries. Native born laborers
would be our upskilled laborers,
he declares, if industry paid
.hem sufficient wages.
Patriotic and fraternal socie-
ties have united in urging re-
friction on Congress, because OF
the country's past social troubles
and from it they fear more IN
the future. The communistic and
bolshevistic tendencies manifest
in the nation thely attribute TO
unassimilated aliens in the Am
erican body polite. Lest an add
ed influx of disgruntled untu-
toared aliens from Europe's hot
beds of revolution aggravate
what they feel to be an already
menacing situation here they adj
.,,ona+a raStriction.
Statistics show that the great
est flow of immigration to Amer
lean ports is from the countries
of southern and central Europe
countries which exhaust their
quotas under the present Ia"
long before the expiration OF the
wear. On the other hand, the
countries of northern and western
Europe which made up the buik
of our immigration last century
do not even utilize half the quo
tas allotted to them.
Regarding immigration OF unoe-
sirables, Secretary of Labor Ia
Wis says: -.
"In letting immigrants into TINS
country we must remember TINS
Races that have good traits built
mn countries aboard and they
will in the same way Dui'd up

have swinish traits were destroy
ers there and will be destroyers

claim to the eastern championship
of course, was the most valued &C
complishment on the field.
Being as the Tigers are IF the
opinion that little slump in theii
proves on the field will mean
their exit from the Big Three.
there isn't much need for worry in
the immediate future.

ares the year well spent since

~*e ~iJt.H9t
Jack McAuliffe and some of the
other veterans who regard the
present day boxers as cake eat
tiers, will have to modify their
remarks when they are to include
Merci Monies, the little Texas
lightweight, who went fifty-one
rounds to knockout Jimmy DUNDEE
in Mexico City.
Many of the old time boxers re
gard fifteen rounds as mere
workout and it was a rather gen
eral opinion that there were very
few boxers in the ring today who
could 60 more than twenty rounds.
When two second raters have
endurance enough to go ffty-one
rounds, it does not speak badly
of the modern crop of battlers.
From a straight standpoint OF
endurance there is no doubt that
as many of today's fighter could
20 over just as long a distance
as some of the old timers.
Modern fighters take their bus
mess seriously and train strict
" for their business. Old timers
did not.
From another viewpoint, how
ever, it is doubtful if two high
class. well-matched boxers would
have to go more than twenty or
thirty rounds.
Scientific hitting and skilled me-
rhanics Of fighting are products
IF the new game.
Benny Leonard and Lew Tend
Ter in a finish fight for the light
weight championship would be a
wonderful card. and so would
,ne to the limit between Harry
Greb and Tom Gibbons or Greb
and Gene Tunney. Either OF the
after would produce a new nght
heavyweight champion and Ben,
nv probably would be a tired
lightweight champion about the
twentieth round.

Prediction that the coming enabling
act would be passed without fight
In the legislature was made by City
Attorney w. J. Wynn, who returned
Wednesday from Montgomery. The
bill was presented Monday, being in
troduced in the lower house by Rep
resentative Henry Howe of Jeffer-
son county, and in the Senate by Sem
ator Ellis of Dallas, after a confer
ence between Birmingham city of
ficials and Senator Walter S. Brewer,
who was expected to have intro
duced 1t in that house.
Mr.. Brewer suggested that It
would be advisable for the measure
to be presented in one of the houses
by legislator outside jefferson, in
order to show that it was in wide
spread favor" said Mr.. Wynn. "Sena-
tor Ellis of Selma readily consented
to Introduce it In the senate, and
Mr.. Howe presented it in the house.
Both Mr.. Ellis and Mr.. Howe prom
ised us to look after it and keep us
advised"
Mr.. Wynn said he had had numer-
GUS inquiries since the converting Of
the legislature regarding the lzoning
bill. People throughout the state are
strongly in favor of it, he said.

AGENTS AVOIDED A
COAL FAMINE IS
STATED BY HkYD0N
Executive Secretary National
Association of Purchasing
Agents Tells of Agree
mentS Made

The Birmingh Purchasing Agents
association had as guest at the
monthly luncheon Wednesday. II. r.
Heydon, executive secretary of the
National Association of Purchasing
Agents. New York city. who spoke of
avoiding coal famine and runaway
prices in the east this fall and winter.
Mr.. Heydon said 1900 purchasing
agents got together and agreed to
purchase only as much coal from time
to time as their principals required
In order to avoid legal complications
they counseled with Secretary Hoover
and the railroads were also called In.
The result was an even distribution
of the coal production, the avoidance
of extravagant prices and sufficieney
of coal to keep the east warm. It
all came about, he said, through put
ting brains into the purchasing power
of coal consumers.
Mr.. Heydon said the mooei pur-
chasing agent was not a man who
simply tried today to buy at the low
est market price prevailing today, but
who looked ahead and watched the
trend of the markets. The purchas-
ing agent, he said, was the last de-
partment to be introduced into mod
ern business. The first department
was that of sales. Then came the
department of advertising and then
that of auditing. 1t finally dawned
on the management of large concerns
that systematic purchasing through a
well organized department was also
an economy and the modern pur-
chasing agent followed. The good
agent is one who keeps abreast of
the times and has the market trends
at his fingers tips.
The Birmingham Purchasing Agents
association has been functioning for
more than a year in conjunction with
the Chamber of Commerce and has
been the instrument of bringing
numbers of jobbing houses to Bir-
mingham by showing preference of
the purchasing agents to do bust
ness with home concerns. The as
ISOLATION has ironed out many mis-
understandings inimical to trading at
home.
II. V. Dimick, manager of the Amer
lean Blakeslee Manufacturing com
pany, is the newly elected president
of the organization.
