Smyer of the Birmingham pos, office, together with several othe. postal officials in the office of the Bank of Ensley Tuesday morning and discussed with them the need of more carriers and also of more help at the local post office.
 M. II, Mcdowell made short talk on the growth of this district and the necessity of having additional help. Colonel Henderson responded and stated that the number of em- ployes were based on the receipts of the local post office and suggested that the local business men call upon the corporations in this district and see If arrangements could be made to have them purchase their stamps in Ensley, whihc would greatly help the revenue of this office.
 The local post office was also as- sured mail truck, which ,ill be put into operation in the very near future between Birmingham and Ensley, as well as Pratt City, Vivian
 
 a train be little late in getting into Birmingham it would miss the regular mail street ear and would have to lay over several hours. if not until the next morning, whereas the truck will be able to make a delivery at any time necessary.

DISCOVER PLAN OF AUDITORIUM IN "TUT'S" TOMB
Birmingham Municipal Building Drawings Found in Search for Egyptian King,
 Cables State

Reports were prevalent in the city Tuesday night that Birmingham will receive the plans for the municipal auditorium soon. They are said to have been located in the tomb of King Tutankhamen, according to all legged dispatches from Luxor, Egypt.
 This astounding solution of the mystery surrounding the plans for Blrmingham's auditorium was dis closed early Tuesday morning. Ac- cordIng to the specials from Luxor, the discovery of the plans was marked by the quintessence of drama. Professor I. Noall and l .- vestigator Caesar Thru were musing among the musty tonnes found in the tomb. when Professor Noall came upon yellowed papyrus, much worn from handling. Investigation dis closed that the scroll bore set of plans by the famous architect. Solid Ivr-y designer of the pyramids. The professor deciphered the hieroglyph- ics with the aid of the famous Ro- setta Stone and found that the plans were for Birmingham municipal au- ditorium. A cryptic account of the history of the plans on the back of the manuscript told how a contract had once been let for the erection of building enclosed" and how it was found that this contract did not provide. for a roof of the building. So-lid-Ivr-y attempted to disparage the necessity of roof. but his argu- ment was frozen by a sleet storm furnished by the sage of Fountain Heights. Following this, the plans were placed in King Tut's tomb by the then department of public inn provements.
 Birmingham civic leaders declared Tuesday night that the plans would be checked by the Chamber of Com merce upon their receipt. It is thought that the. city commission will request all contractors to in- clude a roof in their bids for the construction of the auditorium under the plans located in King Tuts tomb.
