WOULD ADVERTISE
 CITY'S PROJECTS
Proposal Made To Exploit Auditorium And New
 Market

The Cox Advertising agency, in CO., operation with E. D. Torgerson, former newspaper man, want to press-agent the municipal market and the new audi torium for the city.
 Their proposition was before the city commission Friday with indications that the members will split over the feasi- bility of the plan. Funds for the serv- ice proposed, which would include an advertising campaign, would have to come out of the legal advertising ap- propriation, according to President D. .E. McLendon.
 Y A similar proposition from another advertising agency was recently turned down by the commission.
 Commissioners agree that the muni- cipal market needs an advertising cam paign or something else to stimulate it's patronage and put it on it's feet. but they point out that o. Gordon Erickson, managing director of the auditorium, is directing his own advertising and pub licity and doing it well.

Clyde Johns, Bashful, Wins
 Age-Herald Doll For Sister
Great Party At TenRle Theater Witnesses Jackie
 >,,.# Coogan Picture, Circus Day"

Clyde Johns is 13 years old. He lives at 514h North Sixteenth street, and he doesn't like dolls. Clyde admitted that, but said that his little 11-yeaf-old sister did. And so Clyde scampered onto the stage at the Temple theater Saturday morning to claim one of the prizes giv- en at The Age-Herald Temple chikren's party. B -s, &sS
 It's hard to picture a 13year-old boy holding a big, beautiful doll in his arms and having his picture taken :; especial ,ly when the boy is surrounded by his chums, who kept up an incessant stream of taunts. It was hard for Clyde, but he wanted Sister" to hav- the doll, and he was brave enough to smile as he faced his playmates and the camera.
 The doll Clyde won was cousin of The Age-Herald singing doll, which went to little Miss Katherine Plan of 1907 Hayes street. Another cousin was won by Oracle Smith, who lives at 217 Eighth street, north. --2 2"
 Party Big Success
 The party was success. in every way. But then, what party wouldn' [ be, when Jackie Coogan is one of the attractions. Saturday morning,-Jackie's best picture Circus Days." kept nearly 2,50O of Birmingham's livliest boys and girls on the edge of their seats. When Jackie made his debut as a circus bare back rider and demonstrated several new ways to ride horse, they simply couldn't keep still The girls Applauded very demurely. But the boys-they yelled and whooped and whistled.
 Then after the picture ended, cam. the anxious moment of the party. As every little guest entered the theater they were given a numbered coupon. A

duplicate went into d big box. Rep resentatives of The Age-Herald and tue Temple took the stage. First of all The Age-Herald doll performed. She sang, she talked and then prayed. And you could hear her sing, Rock A Bye Baby all over the theater. Of course the boys weren't much interested, but the girls were. ,
 Then the prizes were given out. The big doll, was won by Katherine Plan who isn't ashamed to say she is nine years old. Shyly she came upon the stage. But all her shyness vanished when she clasped the doll in her arms
 Its Wonderful
 "It's wonderful. I wanted the doll so bad and Oh, I'm so happy l won, was the first thing she said. mere man couldn't understand what she said when the doll sang for her for the first time. And Katherine wouldn't let the doll out of her arms, which were hardly long enough to reach around the huge box.
 The second doll was givensto Grace Smith. Grace didn't exhibit such heights of rapture, but, then. she is older, benig 13. Her doll is cousin to Katherine's and can talk but doesn' sing. Grace doesn't care, however.
 ."I'll simply love her to death," she told Q. group of admiring friends few minutes later.
 Clyde was the last winner. He didn't want the doll, but he knew his sister did. There was only one thing for him to do and that was walk up to the stage and jick up the doll and carry it home He smiled grimly and his freckles turned q few shades darker. And tho only time he wavered was when tht picture was being taken. Gee. hope my kid sister likes it."

ton, in the opinion of veterans of many i campaigns.
 MT. Davis, they assert, began early in the game to capitalize his military record. Almost before the war was over, he was running for congress and came out second best. Then, he turned to Governor Kilby and was appointed assistant attorney general, later run ming for attorney general without op- position. Now, he wants to step higher. Observers say the war veterans over the state are discussing Davis newest am bition fro widely diverbent angles, some maintaining that he as already been amply compensated and, in the vernacular, should not attempt to hog the stage.
 Davis Is Discussed
 As a candidate, the wiseacres con tinue, Mir. Davis will have but one achievement" besides his war record to point to when he opens his drive for votes. That is his; leadership in the passage of a law for an income tax. The affect of his ''ex-service men's'' platform, they declare, will tend to make voters who were not in the serv- ice to fear that he will dispense all the patronage to veterans. This, it is added, would cause the ordinary voter to seek some other candidate.
 Many observers quote war veterans as saying that the attorney general and would-be governor has been too busy seeking to perpetuate himself in public office to give time to the development of the cause of the American Legion or the disabled veterans. Moreover, these observers believe that Davis re- cent action in appointing Fred John son, state commander of the American Legion, as assistant attorney general, will affect his race. The veterans are asking if this appointment was made on account of qualification and ability, or with the idea that Johnson could round up the Legion votes in 1926.
 This appointment" declared one grizzled observer, will be a two-edged sword before this campaign gets far along, because the Legion resents it's use for political purposes"
 Thus, out of all the gossip and specu- Iation now being heard, comes this vir- tually unanimous verdict of the states | most competent ODSerNerS 1ne next governor of Alabama has not yet been prominently mentioned"
 KiIby To Figure
 All the observers agree that former Gov. Thomas E. Kilby will be an outstanding figure fiji the pre-campaign manuevering, as well as in the cam paign itself. Kilby is the, avowed pol itical enemy of Lieutenant Governor Mcdowell, and, with his friends, now is casting about for a candidate who can defeat him. If the night man is not located. Kilby may get in the race. This would eliminate Carmichael Davis and other aspirants. and would otherwise clarify the situation. How ever, it is known that Mir. Kilby pre- fers not to make the race. The view is widespread that some candidate, as yet unknown, or at least unannounced, will ultimately get his backing. Then, il Senator Underwood does not ask fol another term at Washington. Mir. Kilby may seek his seat.
 But Mr. Kilby's battle cry at this time is: Mcdowell shall not pass

MOVING EXPENSES
 RESULT IN SLUMP FOR ADJUSTMENTS
Period Around October 1 Dullest Of Year For
 Theaters

What is the dull season for motion picture and vaudeville houses?
 A canvas of theatefs in Birmingham, Montgomery and other cities in Ala bama, where October 1 is observed as official moving day shows that ten days or more before and after the same length of time after October 1 is the dullest period.
 Approximately 25,OO0 people changed their places of abode in Birmingham this year. About 5000 moved in Montgomery and fully 50,000 more in other cities of the state pulled up stakes and sought new homes this fall.
 These 7Sy000 or so persons, having in their minds the cares and burdens ot packing their belongings preparatory to moving, give little thought to diver sion during this 20-day period. Gas and light companies must be engaged for the occasion. Water connections must be shut off in the old residences and re-established in the new and telephones must be installed-all in the brieg period allotted to the migratory population.
 Some families makeshift in their cooking arrangements until the gas is turned on. Fuel must be, ordered for the first cold snap and all in all the moving season finds the home-hunter in busy frame of mind.
 Moreover, the children must be put in school in the new districts where they have taken up their homes. They must be provided with the necessary books and more clothes must be bought, for the long winter months. For a few weeks the parents naturally must skimp,
 But after the moving season the whole family takes to the theater and picture show with re-sharpened appe- tite.
 People do not economize long at a time in the matter of amusements y says one manager. And remember fall is circus time in Alabama.
