 CITY'S HOUSES
New System Of Street Signs Sought By
 Bass

"A great many Birmingham people don't know the correct addresses of the residences in which they live"
 Postmaster J. c. Bass made this statement Thursday in a letter to D. E. McLendon, city commission president urging early steps to end the confusion and inconvenience that now is being caused by this unsatisfactory situa- tion."
 McLendon consulted City Engineer A. J. Hawkins, who strongly recom- mended thorough street sign system for the entire city. An initial appropria- ton of $5,OOO, with annual appropria- tions for the next few years, would complete the system and stralghten things out, he said.
 Hawkins reminded that he made this recommendation two years ago., only to have it rejected by the commission on grounds of insufficient funds"
 Although street signs is mot Tn his department" Quoting favorite city hall remark), President McLendon said he would ask the commission to take early action.
 Postmaster Bass placed the situation before the commission after correspond ence with Phillip Oster, of Oster Bros. Furniture company, who called atten-

FLORENCE ROAD
 WILLBE PAVED
Dallas, Tex, Concern To Begin Work On Stretch
 At Once
(NuscIe Shoals Bureau

FLORENCE, Ala, Dec. 1S-Work on the project will be started at once IL was announced here immediately after it became known that the contract TOT the construction of 7.16 miles of pay ing and chert surface on the Lee high way between Florence and Killen had been awarded to the Uvalde Paving company of Dallas, Texas, by the state highway commission in session at Mont gomery Wednesday afternoon.
 This project is considered one of the most vital needs of Lauderdale county and the paving from the city l1mltes of Florence will connect with the paw ing which the government will construct leading to and, over Wilson dam.
 It is estimated that the contract price of $199, ,524,0O0 will permit the con struction of approximately five miles of paving. The rest of the project Will be of chert surface.
 The letting of the contract to the Uvalde Paving company is Of great interest to the Muscle Shoals district and to other sections of the state, be- cause it means that Alabama asphalt will be used in the paving work, as has bean the case in considerable part of the work that this company has done for the city of Florence. The Alabama asphalt is said to have proved superior product and the fact that the state highway commission has ap- .proved it as a state aid project is of considerable interest to people in north Alabama where the asphalt mines are located.

The WeU-Dressed Mnn
 By Beaundsh oTHrs TO MEET OCCASION
Put On Your Muffler

Wrote John Webster, the English dramatist: Are not old wines whole somest; old pippins toothsomest; does not old wood burn brightest; old linen wash whitest?" The same Is true of seasoned styles, silvered with the dust of years. All the ingenuity and artistry of the modern designer cannot improve upon many fashions of vanished days and ways, because they are founded upon primitive creature comfort. A case in point-the muffler. Worn years ago, it was later discarded as too thick and clumsy and, moreover, as unneces- sary, when burly greatcoats with deep flip-up collars give us a veritable bears hug of warmth.
 Nevertheless, the muffler has come back and is now at the peak of its vogue, whether in brilliant -hued silks or made of fleecy wool or intermixtures of silk and-wool. A characterful muffler lends a bright and smart spot of color to ones neck, besides serving as guard against the soiling of the collar under heath by friction against the overcoat collar. It is no uncommon thing for The We'll Dressed Man to possess from half dozen to dozen mufflers in diff ferent patterns to confirm or contrast with suits, shirts and cravats. Further more, the most vivid of colors are quite permissible, such as regimental and Ro- man stripes, especially against the back ground of a dark overcoat.
 The muffler, shown here, is of heavy repp silk, revealing handsome clus-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-19

ter diamond plaid design in the center set off with broad, solid-colored bor- der in warmly contrasting color. Such a muffler is quite large and should be folded with careful carelessness," rath- than precisely. It may be worn crossed over the chest in the conventional way or knotted once and allowed to drape straight down, practice to which col lege men are very indulgent.
 Besides woven mufflers, there are those of knitted or crocheted silk hav- ing contrasting fringed ends. Vari-col- ored mufflers should not be worn with evening dress. The only colors al lowed are white or, preferably black and-white, such as white stripes or polka dots upon a black ground or black ones upon white ground. Black silk mufflers are virtually out of use, as they are too depressing for smart effect. Avoid colors that are too dark. Go in for "cherrio" patterns and swat the gloom.

TRAFFIC MEN FILE
 RATE PETITION
Proposed Canned Goods Rates
 Are Unjust, Say Members

The Birmingham Traffic association Thursday filed its second petition with the interstate commerce commission TOT suspension of the proposed rates on canned goods from east Tennessee points, Pacific coast cities and other points of origin, to Birmingham.
 Two months ago, when the railroads first proposed the increase ,,a of tr freight sht Traffic bureau, who gained reprieve until the first of the year. The point stressed in both petitions is that the rates trend on freight, particularly on foodstuffs, is downward, rather than up- ward.
 Attention is also called to the fact that the southern carriers are now earn ing their full and reasonable net return as fixed by the interstate commerce com mission and it Is not understood why there is a continuous effort in the realignment of these rates to bring about still greater revenue to the railroads.

DRAMATICSTORY
 TOLD BY WALKER
(Continued From Page One. ]

(COntinued From Page One.) as a matter of fact, you were facing a deficit?' the district attorney de- handed.
 q don't remember" Walker said. "These matters came up in directors meetings, and I can't remember every thing"
 Hours of relentless grilling by Ken namer brought similar replies from the witness.
 Hopson Testifies
 Before Walker took the stand, the governments cross-examination of Hud- mon Hopson was concluded. Hopson had testified Wednesday he knew lit tie of the affairs of the company and had pinned his trust in Walker.
 Kennamer, however, caused Hopson to admit that he signed many checks for the company and wrote letters claim ing that the company was in excellent shape.
 q lost almost all of my money when the company failed" Hopson declared. II had implicit faith in its future. If we had struck oil in just one Of the many highly recommended wells we purchased, we would have been all right"
 Kennamer then began delving into Hopson's personal affairs, and asked why he transferred real estate to his wife, his brother and his brother-in- law. Hopson denied having transferred property to his wife, saying it already stood in her name.
 Stock Price Raised
 Didn't the Hopson-C Carter Realty company, of which you were firm member, buy stock at SIS share and immediately raise its price to $150!', Kennamer demanded.
 "Yes," Hopson said.
 "Well, you have already testified that you were selling other stock at S1OO. You. as an official of Walker Consolidated, were underselling the market price of the company's stock Didn't you think this would have a bad effect on the company's financial condition?"
 Il didn't think so at the time"
 Did you recommend the stock to your friends?"
 Yes, because I believed in it."
 Hopson also admitted that he became vice president and general manager of the company and took an office con. meeting with that of A. W. Walker SC as to "keep in close touch with af fairs" He said he never saw the con tract for the $2,4OO,0OO deal with the Texhoma Oil company, but that he made repeated unsuccessful efforts tc get it from Walker.

TWO EFFORTS MADE
 TO WRECK TRAINS
Investigation By Talladega Off,
 ficials Of No Avail

TALLADEGA, Ala, Dec: 1S.-(Spe- cial. .)-A quiet investigation of the opening of two more switches on the L. & N. tracks in the city several nights ago has proven fruitless so far. At both switches the locks had been re- moved and thrown away. One swltch was open heading north and the other open and headed south.
 The discovery was made in time by the engineer of the northbound pas senger train that passes Talladega at 8 ;21 D. m. and no damage was done. It is stated that these two incidents show conclusively that some one in this vicinity has switch key: Sev- eral weeks ago this same train was derailed and a thrown switch was found

Less Drinking
Makes For Order

Paris, Feb. 23.--The ban on the
sails of absinthe is believed to be
the cause, in Paris, for the notable
decrease in the number of arrests
for drunkenness in 1923, as COM
pared to 1912, when absinthe was
available Eleven years ago, with
10000 bars and cafes doing business
in the city the police gathered in
$4,000 disturbers of the peace; last
year, with 1900 liquor dispensaries
to reckon with, but no absinthe, they
took in only 10000. Frenchmen have
long claimed to be immune TO the in
toxicating effect of their national
wines, and they have not yet taken
kindly to whiskey and cocktails.
More than $4,000 criminals were
jailed during the past year; 14O burg
laries were committed, and 104 auto
mobiles were stolen.
1t seems a relatively safe and or
derby city in which to reside, with
plenty Of theatres and music halls,
and this is perhaps why so many
foreigners settle down here to live.
There is a total of GOT theatres,
music halls and moving picture
houses, along with 875 dance halls.
More than 10000 foreigners asked
the police in 1928 for permission to
| reside in the city, $4,000 more than
in 1922. Italians were. the most
numerous; then came Belgians, RQs-
SLAMS, English and Americans in the
order named. The additions to the
resident American Colony reached q
total of 3,174.

COUNTY LIEN
SUITS PLANNED

Dickinson. N. D., Feb. 23.-Suit
against makers of county seed and
feed loans during the years Of 1915,
1919 and 1920, who have not paid
their debt to the county or made
other settlement, will be started
within the next ten days, States At
torney James p. Cain announced.
In bringing the suits Mr.. Cain is
following the instructions of the
Stark county board of commissioners
which authorized action in the col
lection of these loans in resolution
adopted at the regular January meet
ing:
There are about 200 of these loans
aggregating approximately $4,000
upon which settlement has not been
made, Mr.. Cain said.
The makers have been given every
opportunity to settle. All have been
outstanding three years or more.
The county needs the money and if
those who were assisted at time
when they needed help most cannot
pay, they can at least make satisfac.
tory settlement. However, if this is
not done within the next few days
acti>n will be started.
