PARK BOARD ACT IN FOR HEARING
 AT LEGISLATURE
Deadlock Said To Have Precipitated Action
 By Solons

If the state legislature holds an ex- the Birmingham park and recreation board will be placed under heavy fire by some members of the Jefferson coun- ty delegation in the lower house, 1t became known Monday.
 The bitter deadlock over the re-elec- ton of Lewis Bowen was said to be responsible for plans of some ot the solons to amend the park board act so as to require all members to run for election before the people. Bowen IS a labor man, and the rejection of hls nomination for second term has been termed by some of the county's rep resentatives in the house as slap at labor. More than half of the mem- bers of the Jefferson county house dele sation are labor men.
 NJ. P. Phillips and Elmer Thuston, the board members who blocked Bowen S reelection. have emphatically denied that they opposed him because he was labor man.
 The city commission will nominate Bowen's successor at Tuesdays meet ing. provided Commissioners Cloe, liar rison and Dickson-the only members who will be present, can reach all agreement at a conference to be held beofore they begin the open session.
 ''There is one thing I shall insist or" !" Harrison declared, "and that is for the commission to nominate without going into joint conference with the park board The right to nominate is vested solely in the commission, and it would set bad precedent to let the park board tell the commission whom to nom- inate.'
 It was learned that the commission does not intend to nominate woman for the post, and that the nominee will be friendly to organized labor, If not actually a member of union. If the commission nominates Tuesday, the person proposed.
 Interest in the outcome of the con- troversy has been intensified by the talk of legislative action in the event of special session at Montgomery. An indication of how some of the leg islators feel is shown in the follow ing statement made by Mark l.. Jeter, one of the Jefferson county members {:
 'The best way to settle questions like this is for the legislature to make the board members. elective by the people. I favor applying this same principle to the city board of education"

MUNICIPAL DOLLAR
 MOUNTS NV VALUE
City Buys More Coal But Pays
 Less-Practice Economy

The city bought slightly more coal this year than in 1923, but it cost ap- proximately 20 per cent less, City Purchasing Agent Shook said Monday.
 By making purchases at opportune times, Shook was enabled to effect this saving. He figures that the various municipal departments, with exception of the board of education, will consume between 900 and 1000 tons during the year. The cost of this fuel is approx imately $4,00O.
 The fire department at its 20 engine houses will burn about 800 tons. The new auditorium will require around POO tons. The city hall, engines of the street department and the Ensley Jail and branch city hall will use the bal ance.

INCREASE SHOWN
 IN RABIES CASES
City To Direct Measures At Un-
 inOculated Dogs

An alarming increase in the number of cases of rabies among Birmingham animals was shown Monday in :. report submitted to Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer, by George A. Denison, acting director of the city laboratory.
 Health authorities said they would renew their effort to have the city com mission pass an ordinance requiring compulsory vaccine inoculation for every dog in the city. A request for action has been pending before the com mission for several weeks, it was said.
 Denisons report showed that 106 cases of rabies had been reported to the department this year, and that S9 of this number were from Jefferson coun- ty. pr. Bowling estimated that POO per sons had been bitten since January 1.
 If the commission will accept q com pulsory vaccine inoculation ordinance, health officials said, the situation can quickly be brought under control.

ROBBERS STILL
 ELUDE POLICE Four Stores Robbed In Shadow Of Police
 Station

Birmingham's latest organized gang of burglars. believed by police to be the most daring housebreakers ever to operate in this city, extended it's activ- ities early Monday morning into the shadow of police headquarters and rob- bed four stores, escaping with small currency tOtaling approximately $50 and damaging the business places to the extent of S2,000. An attempt to jimmy" fifth store was unsuccessful, police learned.
 Police believe the same group of thieves which has boldly broken into score of stores and downtown business houses during the past two months is responsible for Mondays depredations. So far they have succeeded in eluding every trap set for them by local law enGorcers. Police admit they have been unable to secure any clues as to the identity of the robbers.
 Victims this weekend were:
 Studio Bookshop, 407 Twentieth street, north, safe broken open, $50 in stamps, merchandise and money taken.
 Maurice Letaw, 1880 Fourth avenue, north, two cash registers broken, $50 in currency taken.
 Faulkner Novelty company, 406 Twen- tieth street, north, $50 in money taken.
 A. Dombrow, clothier, Hillman hotel, S2.5O in money taken.
 Barbers Supply company, 1881 Fourth avenue, north, lock broken, nothing taken.
 The burglars did not confine them selves to money, but at the novelty shop secured several valuable tapestries and leather bound books. They passed up $1,000 in checks there but took a check for $5.S5 from the clothing store.
 An iron door and a window were forced open by the thieves in entering the novelty shop and book store. The doors of the drug store and the clothing store were iimmied

Don't Let That Cold

Rub on UOOO Olu MuStcTOIo That cold may turn into Flu" Grippe or. even worse, Pneumonia, un- less you take care of it at once. Rub good old Musterole on the con cested parts and see how quickly it brings relief.
 Colds are merely congestion. Mus terole, made from pure oil of mustard, camphor, menthol and other simple in gradients, is counter-irritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold.
 As effective as the messy old mus tard plaster, does the work without blister.
 Just rub it on with your finger-tips. You will feel a warm jingle as it enters the pores, then a cooling sensation that brings welcome relief.
