 PIEDMONT UNIT
Success Of Subdivision Warrants Additional
 Development

Following close on the heels of tue record breaking sales of high class resi- dential property established by JemisOn and Company in the first unit of Reti- mont park, Robert Jemison, Jr., ar- nOunced Saturday that the second unit of this section will be offered the pub lie in short time.
 What is said to be a high mark ill the local market for the sale of fine residence property in Birmingham was u1de last month when $25O,O ,OOO worth of lots in the first unit were sold within ten days of the first formal announce ment. Contracts on file at JemisOn and Company reveal that practically all tl.ese lots were sold in advance of the actual date. and that many of them changed hands several times at sub stantial profits.
 Improvements, pledged when the first unit of Piedmont Park was offered, are rapidly nearing the final stage.
 "JemisOn and Company is just as proud of the speed and thOrOughneSs with which the promised improvement program is being executed as we are m the record made in the property sale. Mir. JemisOn said Saturday. Tn offer ing this property with our assurances that improvements would be carried through as speedily as possible, we made ourselves stewards for the faith full performance of q trust. We are pleased to report that sanitary grad ing and water mains in RedmODt park will be finished in about two weeks when work on paving curbs and gutters will commence"
 Expenditures on improvements ir Piedmont Park are estimated to have al least equalled any other subdivision iu Birmingham's history. Not only ara all utilities and improvements being placed, but many trees will be planted and landscape plan worked out with a view to enhancing the natural scenic beauty of Redmont's surroundings.

MARKET OPENED
 FOR HOLLYWOOD
Cheesennan Places Noun tain Tract Develop
 ment On Sale

One hundred and eighty-three acres of wodeod property, extending for half east on either side of the Oxmoor road from the Shades Cahaba school house, was opened Saturday in the new residence development known as Holly wood.
 Owners of Hollywood have expended large sums on the identification and improvement of this property. It has been divided into large estates, ranging in size from lots with a 100 foot front age to building sites comprising several acres.
 Ben Cheeseman, of the Cheeseman Real Estate Sales. company, stated Hoi- lywood is a subdivision expressly de- signed for fashionable homes. In se- lecting the property just over the moun- tain for development of this charac ter, consideration was given he de- clares to the natural beauty of sur rounding scenery, proximity to the new Country club development and it's accessibility to town.
 Before undertaking improvement of the Hollywood property, its woners vis- tied some of the finest residence de- velopments in other cities. The compre- hensiye improvement and beautifica tion program which is now under way is asid to be along the most improved lines, at the same time having careful regard for the landscape characteris- ties of the property itself.
 No tonly will Hollywood residents enjoy the countryside, the freedom from city smoke and dust, but they will also have advantages of urban life with utilities including gas, water and cleo tric lights. In order to protect home builders against undesirable encroach' ments rigid building restrictions have been imposed. Construction cost of Hollywood homes must amount to at least $8,O0O.
 BuIIders' Service
 Among the many unique features in volved in the sale of Hollywood is an architects service to those contemplat- ing home building. Owners of Hollywood announce that one of the leading Bir- minRham architects have been retained to design houses without cost for those who purchase lots in this new develop ment.
 Plans have been already drawn for the first ten houses on which construc- tion work is expected to begin in the near future. These houses, it is ex- pected, will be the forerunnerS of many other beautiful homes. ..
 "We expect large residence devel- opment in Shades valley to result from the opening of Hollywood" MT. Cheese man said Saturday. "There is a clear ly defined drift of better class homes over the mountain. Many residents in older sections are dispOsing of their homes and moving away from the noise of the city. There is nothing surprts. ing about this. It is the history of all large cities, and Birmingham is no longer in the small town class"

CHILDREN PLANT
HOLLY IN SCHOOLS
Preservation of Christmas
Greens Taught in Nature
Study Classes.

The plea for conservation of disap-
pearing Christmas greens has been
carried to practically every pupil in
the grade public schools, it was esti-
mated last night by Mrs. Elizabeth
X Peoples, in charge of nature study
and school gardens.
Actual lessons were given by the
Is teachers on nature study through
out the District. In all schools
where there was electricity a series
of colored stereopticon slides was
used.
Using material furnished by p. L.
Kicker of the Wildhower Preserva-
tion Society, Mrs. Peoples and her
teachers presented to all the sixth
grades and many of the other grades
two lessons. The first carried the
lesson, Illustrated with pictures, Of
why it was necessary to save the
holly, ground pine, wintorbeery and
laurel, as it is fast disappearing.
The second lecture gave instructions
in how to grow holly from cuttings.
Stimulated by the lessons and in
spired with a desire to help further
and see if they could really grow
holly for their own schools, there
have been planted somewhere in
every grade school in the District
cuttings of holly. in the hope that
they may root and grow into bushes.

NEWARK. N. j., December 90.
Henry wrote the story and people
termed it fiction.
In his story it was a cop who met
his friend by appointment after years
Of separation to find him a common
burglar. and arrested him. John H.
Syron and John J. Horeau had no
idea they were only figures in an old
plot that repeats itself with vari-
ations.
Syron and Horeau went to war in
the same outfit. Off the coast of Ire
land they jumped overheard from a
cutter to rescue a man from drown
ing. Both were decorated for It.
After the war they were separated.
Syron became a messenger for the
Weequahic Trust Co. He married,
and soon had three children. Horeau
was employed as a detective by a
| surety company which bonds bank
employees. This week Syron was sent
with $4,000 in cash and s725 in checks
to deposit in the Merchants and Man.
ufacturers' National Bank. He de-
posted only $1,000 and the checks.
Horeau was placed on the case by
the surety company. He caused the
arrest OF Syron. Today he appeared in
court as Syron'S accuser. Syron
pleaded guilty of embezzlement, and
was held in $1,000 bail by Acting
Judge Harry Dean to await grand
jury action. Horeau told the court of
his old friendship for Syron. He was
decorated five times for bravery"

BUREAU CUSTOM
/ more PERPLEx|NG
Attitude of House Committee
sCompIicates Engraving
Plant Situation.

Treasury officials tbday are busy
studying the perplexing problem OF
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. which has become even more in
extricable for the present at least
following the report of the House ap-
propriations committee on the Treas
ury appropriation bill.
What they will do about a director
for the plant since the committee pro-
posed a maximum of only $4,000,
when a salary of $4,000 had been
asked. was not the only new problem,
as the committee report proposed
elimination of two assistant. direc-
tors, leaving only one assistant. This
would practically emasculate the
plan of reorganization worked out by
Treasury officials and Maj. Wallace
w. Kirby, former director, who has
returned to his Army post at Wash
fngton Barracks.
Hampers Plan to Return Kirby.
Although all hope has not yet been
given up for returning Maj. Kirby TO
the bureau as temporary director, it
was evident yesterday that the atti-
tude of Congress toward the pro-
posals of the Treasury has been crys-
tallizing in such form as to lessen
the prospects that Maj. Kirby may
come back. The salary feature alone
it is understood, would be unaccept-
able to the major, who now is safely
ensconced again in his position as
head of the Engineer Reproduction
Plant of the Army. He served during
the six months on reorganization at
the salary of a major.
How far the Treasury has gone in
considering the possibility of getting
another director whom they can ap-
point to the post at the salary al
lowed by Congress has not been re-
vea1ed. But it was understood that
officials were looking about with a
view to finding what the possibilities
are. No one has been chosen as yet
however, according to the best indi-
cations.
In the meantime the new system
recently established continues in ef-
feet at the bureau, with~Paul e. Twy-
man acting director, and the newly
constituted board of directors" su-
pervising.
