REVENUE BOARD IN FOR ATTACK
 BY EAST LAKERS
Citizens Indignant Over Alleged Repudiation Of
 Street Contract

Indignant East Lake citizens hur- riedly laid plans Wednesday to build a hot fire under the four members of the board of revenue who are charged with repudiation of their pledge in the First avenue improvement program.
 Judge Horace Wilkinson, one of the East Lake leaders, announced that mat ters would be brought to head at a mass meeting in East Lake city hall next Tuesday night.
 We will fight this thing through to the finish" Wilkinson declared.
 Meanwhile, Commission President D. E. McLendon, on behalf of the city gov ernment, conferred with members of the county body and East Lake leaders and announced that chances were "about fifty-fifty" that he board would shortly agree to reconsider it's action in refusing to pave but 15 feet on each side of the street car tracks, which would leave a wide unpaved strip on each side.
 McLendon had talk with Thomas B. Huey, the lone board member who voted to carry out the paving agreement in full, and they decided that heavy pres sure on board members might turn the trick. 5
 May Reverse Decision
 We believe chances are fair, to get Lacey Edmondson and Jerry Gwin to come across" said the commission president. Unless the board does re- lent, this important project will have to go over until next year, as it appears that the city cannot legally finish the job and assess the cost against property owners"
 If all efforts to bring the county of ficials to terms prove futile, the next board of revenue, which takes office January 1, 1925, will pave the entire width of the thoroughfare, President McLendon announced after a series of conferences. t'."The members of the incoming board have taken broad view of the matter and will do the work their predecessors promised to do," the commission head said.
 ' Lacey Edmondson is the only member of the present board who will hold over. He voted Tuesday with the majority to repudiate the agreement with the city. Thus, if the issue goes before the new board, he will be promptly over-ridden by the members-elect.
 E Would Avoid Delay
 President McLendon said, however, : that every effort would be made to pre-. vent a delay until next January in ob- taining satisfactory county action. He and Mir. Huey were hopeful that Edmondson and Gwin, at least, would weaken after the East Lakers hold their rally next week.
 { The Birmingham Electric Go. will not pave between its tracks unless the entire strips on each side are paved simultaneously. This was specifically set forth in the agreement it recently entered. se
 There is a good reason for this," Me Lendon said. tsWith only narrow strips on each side, the bulk of the heavy traffic on the avenue would be over the pavement between car tracks. J
 All board memberes were silent "Wednesday except ". B. Copeland, who reiterated his belief that 's15 feet on each side would be entirely adequate"

BOOTLEG PLUMBERS CHARGED BY GRAFT
Commission Finds Only Three
 Who Are Not Licensed

Bootleg dairymen are not the only outlaw operators in Birmingham, a delegation of plumbers told the city commission Wednesday.
 They charged that a number of "boot- leg' plumbers are doing business with a city license and asked the commission to take appropriate action.
 A check-up of the situation followed, revealing that out of 93 plumbers regis tered in the city, 90 have paid their 1924 license fees.
 This information was given the pro- testing delegation by President D. D. McLendon. He did not know whether the plumbers would drop their fight
 Licenses will be collected from the three plumbers who are not now on our books" McLendon promised.

The study Of labor saving devices

When the human machine needs time

II TO work. Breaks" occurLthe feet
ache. the back hurts and one becomes
AL thumbs." Needless steps are talk
en-, the mind is duh and the temper

TALL" Stand with bead up, chest out,
abdomen In, back straight, with .the
weight on the balls Of the feet. AR
working surfaces should be the right
height to allow for standing straight.
Laugh and live" Laughing Is .
good tonic. II you've nothing to
laugh at, laugh anyway. What is as
good to start the day rs q hearty
laugh. Smile and troubles vanish.
A plan Of work will eliminate use
less movements. The proper arrange
ment Of equipment and utensils viii
save steps.
A time schedule, IL made correctly,
often assists one in accomplishing
more work with less effort and time.
High speed does not always accom-
plish the best results. People have
three speeds, fast, medium and slow.
IL you belong to the slow class, II will
be detrimental to try to keep up with
one who is naturally swift. The usual
result Is a nervous tension and the
least thing may be "the straw that
breaks the camel's back"
A rest period, even IL II Is only ten
minutes, will do wonders TO prevent
clouds and bring the sunshine. Com
plete relaxation makes one feel "al1'a
right with the world" The buster one
lis, the more important the rest period.
"Ten minutes rest day adds ter
years to life."
"On time to meals" is not always
the slogan Of the members Of the
family. The housewife gets provok.
ed waiting; frowhs begin to come and
soon It isn't very pleasant for anyone
