W|TT|CHEN URGES' MARKET SUPPORT.
Declares City Should Pur- chase Property Across
 Street From Building

Tt is a shame the city does not d. more to support the new municipal market" declared Carl Whittichen, president of wittichen Coal and Transfer company, who has been ap- pointed by the Chamber of Commerce to head a committee to lay before the city commission a plan for buy ing the property across from this market "1n many large cities the municipal market is not only suc- cess but has become an institution" he said.
 "It is my idea that the city by buying the remaining 150 feet, in front of the market. of which 1t al- ready possesses 100 feet, and turning this into an open air market for vege- tables in the morning, and a parking space for automobiles afterwards, would not only create a convenience for the people, but aid the market already in operation,'' he added.
 "The new parking ordinance will create a demand for a parking ground, certainly a terminal for out of-town busses, and later a small fee could be charged. In addition to this" he pointed out, people buy where their cars are parked and this naturally will stimulate buying. The people of Birmingham must be edu- cated to the value of doing their own marketing" MT. Wittichen added "but in any case the investment would be a good one as there is al- ready an enhanced value on the lots they now own"

SAYS STATE OF MIND
 CONTROLS PROSPERITY
Butler Says Good Times Are Evi-
 dent In Realty Circles

Under conditions such as we have at present good times or bad times is mainly a state of mind" declared F. E. Butler, president of Butler Garrett Real Estate and Insurance company. If we think and talk hard times, we have hard times; if we think and talk good times, we will have good times" There is no reason in the world, MT. Butler believes, why 1924 should not be one of our greatest years. Japan must rebuild and the Panama canal makes us her closest market; Mussel Shoals must soon be put In operation, either by Henry Ford or by the government; 70 per cent of the spindles are now in the south, compared to 16 per cent be- fore the Civil war and. in a year or two S4 per cent will be here. All this will certainly enhance real es- tate property" he declared.
 Men who are afraid to buy now are looking shortsightedly at a few local conditions and do not realize the importance of foreign affairs. The great need of the present is to supply the requests for well-built, honest houses to sell for from S4,o00 to s4,500 at 10 per cent down and the rest in easy payments" MT. Butler emphasized his belief in the prosperity of the coming year by stating that he was now investing more money in building of houses than ever before in the past.

REAL TORS APPROVE
 MULTIPLE LISTING
Declare New System Has Made Many Friends In
 Birmingham

Birmingham realtors are approach ing another active season for selling homes to those who contemplated moving next spring. 1.i anticipation of this greater activity, preparations are\ already being made, according to Sanf' C. Stark, executive secretary to the Birmingham real estate board.
 "Onr present situation therefore of fers a favorable opportunity for giv- ing word of warning both to real tors and to the public alike. The pur- pose of multiple listing is not to sell properties listed at prices notably too high" MT. Stark pointed out.
 "The system has no clap-trap meth cd of moving unstable properties, nor do it's members want such list ings. The listing of unstable prop critics or properties at too high a price is like hanging bare fish hooks is stream in the hope that some fish may get caught in swimming against them. The realtor and .th property owner do but gum up the system when they send in such con tracts" he stated.
 Multiple listing is great thing but it can not accomplish the i'm possible" he continued. .'The plan is designed to give intelligent and very efficient service to the public, both in buying and selling real estate for those who really mean to buy or sell To demand of the system that it dis pose of unreasonably high properties or actually unstable properties is unfair to the system and unfair to the public.
 Again if you are in a market to buy a home, bear in mind that you will find large selection of live list ings in the office of a member or the multiple listing system. Further more, you can buy through any real tor in the city a piece of property that is multiple listed, if you win tell him what property you want, because the realtor is likewise member of the Birming gham real estate board. as are all members of the multiple list board will cooperate with another" MT. Stark stated.
 From the Buffalo (N. Y.) Realtor he gave few quotations which, he stated, would show how the system is regarded there:
 'It insures the property owner against the payment of more than one commission.' Tt simplifies real es-. tate transactions and does away with socalled shopping" Tt renders in valuable service to the buying and, selling public" "It inspires the con- fidence of the public, which can not be obtained in any other manner" Tt eliminates most of the disputes which arise between board members" Tt creates better feeling among board members.''

 Think They're Napoleon.
 "A considerable number of men secretly believe that they resemble Napoleon, or that he has returned to earth through them" said Dr. Golden weiser "Others take Julius Caesar for pattern or some other great figure associated with dramatic events. But Napoleon Is a special favorite, proba- bly, because he is nearer our own times and had career which cap lures the fancy.
 When the Napoleonic ego appears It Is not long in manifesting itself The victim will be inclined to sur round himself with busts and pic lures of the Emperor, to read every book he can obtain about him and draw conclusions favorable to him self. This, is dangerous hobby. With very slight encouragement 1t will be- come positive monomania. The vic tim then begins to cultivate the Napo- leonic strut, the hand in the coat front the compressed lips and lower- ing brow. If nature has not favord him with such a brow. he does his pest to make up for nature. l is easy to copy the Napoleonic abruptness but not so easy to demand that sub lection which the Corsican exacted The Napoleonic ego has always that characteristic and surely betrays the man who has been seized by this spe- cial. hobby. Every institution which treats afflictions of the mind has had experience with the Napoleonic ego. It IS one of the most enduring forms Of monomania. The outstanding ele- ment is the desire for power, the wlsn to subject others-the same sort of thing which may be observed in a milder form any day"

PROPERTY CHEAPER
 THAN IN OTHER CITIES
Messer Compares Birmingham With
 Other Cities Of The South

Property in Birmingham is much cheaper than. the same class of prop erty in cities near here, according to M P. Messer. president of Messer- Johnson Realty company, who has in- vestigated property in Asheville. N. C.; Jacksonville, Fla, and Atlanta. In particular Asheville, with popu- lation of only 10000, MT. Messer found the prices high compared to Birmingham, with a population of over 100000. He believes an invest ment in this city.
 "I remember the time," he said, when First avenue, from Nineteenth street to Twenty-first street, was paved with round Belgian stones and it was the only paved street here. Grass was growing on Second avenue and many a time have I hunted through woods which now form the best residential section.''

DEALERS SAY DEMAND IS FOR SMALL HOUSES
Available Residences For Rent De-
 clared Unusually Scarce

There is a large demand for small CT houses which the workingman can buy, according to real estate men. Most houses built lately cost from s5,O00 up.
 "One of Birmingham's greatest problems is the housing of the negro" said one real estate man, contrary to general opinion, they have proved themselves reliable and keep up their payments. The main difficulty for them is the obtaining of credit" It was his conviction that the owning of property would tend to make better citizens of them and keep them in the south.
 At the beginning of the renting season real estate men were rushed with inquiriesS but since things have quieted down, some of them still have a number of houses, though opinions expressed in most circles is that houses for rent are very scarce.

MORE SWEET PEA INFORMATION

The Age Herald's demand for sweet pea information seems to be without limit.g The interest in this splendid flower is constantly in- creasing and it becomes necessary to give additional information from time to time. The chief inquiry seems to be about variety. There are such long list of varieties as to bewilder the average planter, so tfat in most cases, where only small quantities are needed. it is best to buy the mixed. The spinar varieties are the ones to plant, as they pro duce long stems and more flowers to the stem than any other sorts. AS to variety the best sorts and those grown successfully in Ala bama are Constance Hinton and King White, both splendid whites. In pinks of various shades the follow ing are the best. Elfrida Pearson, Hercules, Mrs. Hugh Dickson, Mar
 garet Atlee, Jean Ireland, Countess Spencer and Clara Curtis. In sI.- mon and terra cotta shades. Helen Lewis and Mrs. Routzahn are re- liable. In lavender, there is nothing R. r. Feltof. The best red is King Edward and the best purple is royal purple, while the best blue is wedgewood. s There is no use for anyone to go outside of these va rieties A mixture of these can be obtained if desirable and nothing better could be planted. tr

MANY NEW HOMES
Adams Says Home Building Sets New
 Pace.

Birmingham is in excellent condi- tion compared to the rest of the country. according to A. A. Adams. While houses to rent are proving hard to find. a large number of people are arranging to build their own.
 Many houses are going up all over the city. though it may be questioned that this will satisfy the necessity or a growing city such as Birmlng- ham, according to MT. Adams.

By GEORGE B. M'vAY, SIR.

Nearly every Sundays issue of The Age Herald contains information about the planting of lawn grasses, forage plants, perennials, shrubbery, etc. If this information was pur- sued a lot of unnecessary questions could be avoided. We are called upon every day, wanting to know if it is too late to plant lawn grass. Now while it is desirable to get lawn grass early because the cold don't affect it, yet it is permissible to plant as late as April. So 1t is all right to plant now, the earlier the better, but az indicated the seed can be planted much later. Perennials may be planted any time from now on. There can be no fixed rule but anyone interested should indicate what he wants and we will try to help.
 As to forage plants, there are many objections and the only con-. clusion can be determined by the. plant itself. As to perennials there can be no general rule because they, differ so widely in their character. istics, but The Age Herald can help if the facts are known. As to shrub bery, it is getting time when most varieties can be put out but there are always exceptions and these can be decided after the full facts are known.

 Community Improvement.
 What has become of that co-op- erative spirit that became so popu- lar in our cities during the World war. Surely the idea is too good to let entirely die. There was at that time wide spread idea for CO., operation in beautifying the home premises but since peace large part of the population have become indifferent. How much cheaper would it be if the residences front ing together on block would de- eide on some constructive or neigh borhood planting, the difference in cost would be great incentive to secure the improvement.
 When It comes to beautifying a street all must cooperate. If this should be done, a gorgeous return would give each individual, in pleas ure. friendship and acquaintance with his neighbor, a cohesion that otherwise would not be possible. The mere example of such community interest would inspire others to do likewise and thus spread the doc Urine of improvement. The writer has frequently pointed out before, the increased sale value of any property that is improved, so that the money spent on improving property is not an expense but good investment.
