LEGION NOW WAGING| BATTLE UPON DRUGS
Death Penalty Advocated For Ped
 dler To School Children

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. March 27.- The death penalty for dope peddlers who sell narcotics to children was advocated by Garland Powell, nation al director of the Americanism com mission of the American legion, in an Tuesday night that the legion is organizing a national campaign against the drug evil.
 The campaign will be conducted by the Americanism commission. accord ing to Powell. who cited startling disclosures regarding the spread of the drug habit in America.
 Powell blamed the conduct of the drug evil largely on immigrants and said the legion's fight will be waged to great degree in furtnering it's efforts to exclude immigration for a fixed period of years.
 "One person in every 73 in this country already Is confirmed drug addict. according to authoritative statistics in the possession of the commission said Powell. These unfortunates, if gathered together in one place, would com prise a City of Dreadful Night larg- CT than Boston and Baltimore put to- gether"
 The most vicious aspect of the whole problem. according to Powell, is the organized effort to extend the use of dope among the high school and even the grammar school chill dren of the country.
 "The death penalty is the only fit punishment for pervert who will sell narcotics to children in the schools, though unfortunately this cannot now be established by law" he declared.

BEGINS. ID MAKE OVER LIGHT PLANT
Commission Appropriates $35, ,000 For Installing 1900 Meters in North Birmingham Homes
 and Stores

Rehabilitation of North Birming- ham municipal water and light plant was assured Tuesday when the city commission appropriated s35,o0o to be used in installing 800 electric and 1000 water meters and a 12-inch main to supplement the s-inch main now supplying North Birmingham's water supply. This work will begin immediately, according to Commits sioner of Public Utilities William L. Harrison. His resolution making the appropriation was passed unani- mously.
 Commmissioner Harrison Saturday announced his decision to put the pl- t on paying basis. announcing that a survey by the superintendent, c. M. Baker. and himself showed that the plant was badly run down. MT. Harrison, backed by the other mem bers of the commission. intends to give North Birmingham citizens the best service possible from the municipal plant. Water and electric rates will be raised to correspond with those charged in Birming gham proper
 o o O
 First Step In Plan.
 The appropriation Tuesday was the first step in MT. Harrison's plans. This work is to be completed with in 60 days. The work Is expected to cost $6O,000 and the remaining money necessary will be appropriated as needed, he said Tuesday.
 Residents of North Birmingham have been paying flat rate of 75 cents per month for electricity and $2.25 per quarter for water. Every one will be placed on a meter basis in the future, anticipating added re- venue for the city. North Birming- ham Acipco and Fairmont will be af- fected. Industrial plants that have made application for water will be served when the new main is in- stalled.
 To see that bills are handled promptly, an additional clerk is now employed at the plant Revenue for merly lost to the city through laxity will be brought in. Mir. Harrison said.
 Our only course was to make inn provements or sell the plant out right MT. Harrison declared Tues day. We feel the city can operate the plant on a business basis and insure service to the consumers and reasonable revenue to t'.e city treasury. Improvements will be paid for within the next five years and the plant will be put on a self-sus- taining basis"

Cabinet Members Plan to Keep Presidents Race Be-
 fore Nation-Prosperity to Be Republican Talking Point in Elections of Next Year

WASHINGTON, March 27.-An eff fort to hold the great money inter- ests of the east--the Wall street vote in line is seen in the prediction of Secretary of War Weeks that Presi- dent Harding will be renominated for a second term.
 Secretary Weeks was formerly sem ator and national committeeman from Massachusetts and a powerful finan York city. Ills prediction that Hard ing will be renominated, made at a press conference Tuesday, is expected to have been aimed a the men in the east who pull the pursestrings of the country, and the ones who are count ed on to refill the party's campaign chest for 1924.
 Wall Street Displeased.
 For some time there have been un- derground rumors of dissatisfaction with the administration among finan- cial interests. Big railroad bankers and executives have not entirely re- covered from the turmoil of the rail strike last summer. They were vexed first by Harding's refusal to inter- fere with the strike and then when he did step in they were displeased with his suggestions. His dispute with the late T. Dewitt Cuyler, head of the railroad executives. over the settlement plan which they arranged at White House conference, pro- voked criticism in the Wall street district. But Harding's friends do not regard these disturbances as any

CONSUMERS OF COAL ARE URGED TO LAY IN
 SUPPLIES IN SUMMER
Individuals and Cities Should Store Fuel, Administrator
 Declares

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Coal consumers were advised today by F.. K. Wadleigh, federal fuel distributor, to make plans to take in their sup plies of winter fuel during the com ing spring and summer, and make ar engagements to store 1t themselves. Retail dealers were asked to facili- tate such steps, in order to increase public assurance against any diff culties In labor or transportation next winter.
 Householders who do this. MT. Wadleigh said, will likely get better grades of coal and in addition will help industrial nditions by keeping mines ssuss in the summer and assist ing railroads to move freight in the most economic manner.
 Apart from any interruption to supply caused by strikes" MT Wad- leigh said, Shortages of coal are usually due to breakdowns in or in- efficient handling of distribution sys- terms which are obviously much more apt to occur in the winter than in the spring or summer months.
 There are, of course, many con- sumers who are not able financially to buy their coal in sufficient quanti- ties to fill their bins in advance. Fol such it might be possible that deal CTS could make some arrangements in the way ofApartial payments"
 A study is now being made of the possibilities in community or town storage plans, MT. Wadleigh contin- ued. by the fuel distribution office working in conjunction with the conn merce department and the federal coal commission. but action in the matter is not expected to be ready this year. Individual consumers, he said, consequently will have to pro vide their own methods
