CITIZENS URGED
 TO HANG FLAGS
Final Plans For Defense Day Taking Shape
 Fast

Every home and every business house in Birmingham having an American flag is requested to display it Friday, National Defense Test Day and anni- versary of the St. Mihiel offensive. The arrangements committee headed by Col. k. DuPont Thompson urges that every : patriotic citizen do his part to make the observance a memorable one.
 The committee was busy Tuesday ad- justing final details of preparation for the parade and patriotic rally at the Temple theater. Through the courtesy of the Temple theater management, all uniformed Boy Scouts of Birmingham and cadets of the Boys Industrial school at East Lake will be invited to 1 see the full theater program following the close of the patriotic exercises at 5 80 p. m. Friday. One problem the committee has encountered, however, is that of transportation for the Industrial school boys. It will require eight or ten street cars to transport the boys to town and back, so they may take part in the parade, and the Defense Test Day committee has no funds to pay for the cars. Patriotic citizens who want to help make it possible for these boys to march in the parade and attend the Temple theater exercises and picture show afterwards, are urged to communicate with Paul Angell, assi- stant cashier of the First National ban, who is chairman of the financial committee. &4
 The Birmingham Motor club, through G. P. Caldwell, secretary, has agreed to furnish thirty or more automobiles for the use of f2@Confederate Veterans disabled World war veterans, Gold Star mothers, the Red Cross and others in the parade. 5g

AMERICAN STEEL TO FIGHT PEST
 IN ARGENTINE
Ravages Of Locust To Re. quire 10000 Tons In
 Novel Plan

American steel has been used in some unique ways, but nothing quite as odd, has developed in American steel manu- featuring, as an order of the Argen- tine Republic. for 10000 tons of gal vanized sheets which has been given to the United States Steel corporation through the Export Products company. 1t is stated that the country is being immeasurably injured by the ravages of a certain kind of locust, and it is planned to construct fence 14,OOO miles long, of galvanized sheets IS inches high alongside a ditch. Having reached the ditch. which parallels the steel fence, the locusts are unable to climb the smooth surfac and landing in the ditch, cremated after accumulat- ing fro mtime to time.
 This odd order has been pending for five months and has been the subject of wide interest in steel circles. The Ex- port company finally secured the order which will be the means of improving the steel situation to certain extent, it is believed
 It is stated that this fence, which will be constructed by the Argentine government, will be the longest piece of construction ever undertaken in the world. No such novel scheme has ever been arranged wherein steel has been called upon to play the leading part.
 Reports have been consistent for some time that the locusts have been playing havoc with the crops of that country and experts from all parts of the world have been asked from time to time to outline some means of saw ing the country from the pest. It is stated that suggestions of every possi- ble kind were received. However, it remained for an American engineer to work out the plan which will protct the country from the ravages of the le- sions of locusts. Tonnages required for this fence will cost, when in place, a -ramendnns amount of money

AMERICA
RADIO PLANS
MADE
General Harbord Announces
New Program of Radio Cor
poration There

The adoption of an entirely new
and extensive program for the
promotion of radio broadcasting in
Latin. America by American inter-
ests following the abrogation Of an
agreement under which American
companies had had Jointly partici-
pated In South American radio
business TO- the past three years
with interests OF England, France
and Germany. was announced to-
day by General j. G.. Harbord, who
said the new plans gave the United
States its first unrestricted oppor-
tunity to utilize fully its resources
In developing radio in South
Five OF the principal countries of
the continent, Argentina. Uruguay,
Chile, Venezuela, and Brazil will
benefit by the new plan, according
to General Harbord.
The program not only includes
change in the system of dis
tributing merchandise, which en-
ableS the American company to di-
rect its radio activities with far
greater efficiency than the previ-
ously existing arrangements had
permitted, but 1t involves in addi-
ton the introduction Of a practical
method for the support of broad
casting which will be first applied
as trial to the powerful broad
cast station at Buenos Aires.
THE cancellation of this former
agreement marks the beginning of
a new era in our South American
radio activities" General Hartford
said. 1--WE are now in a position
to carry the United States leader.
ship in radio below the equator.
We have been somewhat retarded
in the South American field due to
the restrictions imposed by the
four-sided compromise which has
been in force since the end of the
war.
"One Of the outstanding advan-
tages of the plan is a system CIV
ing direct contact with the South
American radio market from New
York, thus eliminating the expense
incidental to carrying on operations
through intermediate distributing
centers.
There is every reason to believe
that Latin America will continue to
show an increasing interest in
radio broadcasting. Particularly
is this true now that a way has
been devised to give her the ad.
vantage of apparatus embodying
all the latest Improvements.
Unlike North America, distances
between cities are greater and g
large percentage Of the population
resides in the vast farming regions
Radio broadcasting must break
down these barriers of space which
Isolate town and village from the
cities. Wire facilities, too, are no,
within as easy reach Of the people
OF South America as they are ir
this country. Radio broadca stins
will do much to supplement exist
| ing means of communication such
as the telephone and the telegraph
"Latins now look to America t.
help in developing radio broadca st
ing in their respective countries
This knowledge is based upon the
events of the past years, which
have conclusively proved to the
world that America now leads II
