"THANK-U," TODAY

John Golden, the producer of Light nin'." 8 Wise Fools," Turn to the Right" and "7th Heaven," announces the last two performances at the Jeffer- son theatre this afternoon and tonight of his very latest comedy success, "Thank-U," which enjoyed a prosperous career of a year in New York city and an entire season in Chicago, and came to Birmingham from successful engage ments in Philadelphia, Boston, Rich mond, Norfolk, Atlanta and New Or leans, and is being presented with the same superb cast intact.
 "Thank-U," like so many of the other Smith Golden successes, is a com edy of character, with a striking dra. matic element. It deals with a phase of small-town life that has heretofore escaped the ever-vigilant search for new dramatic material, but one that prom ises to be of intense interest to even the most sophisticated of audiences. The action reyolves about the life of an under-paid rector in a small country parish, into which enter persons from the big outer world, with resulting com plications that are as surprising as they are natural, and that appeal to way beauties. Spice" is presented in 32 scenes and moves with the rapidity of an aeroplane.

WALSH'SI ILLNESS
 HALTS OIL QUIZ
Columbian Treaty Record Sub. mitted By President
 Coolidge

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The oil committee took sudden rest until next Tuesday because of the illness of Sena. tor Walsh of Montana, its chief prose. cutor.
 A cold from which the senator has suffered for some time developed into slight bronchial trouble and his phy- sician advised him to rest for several days. It was stated that his condition was not serious.
 During the day President Coolidge transmitted to the Senate copies of diplomatic correspondence, passing be- tween the American and Colombian gov ernments regarding the Colombian treaty, but there was nothing in this correspondence to show that Albert B. Fall as Secretary of the Interior had influenced the administrators course in urging prompt ratification of the long-pending convention in 1920.
 Senator Dill, democrat, Washington, sponsored the resolution under which the correspondence was transmitted. He wanted the documents referred to the oil committee, but Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations committee insist ed that it be referred to his committee as it was an international matter, and he carried his point.
 The correspondence was ordered printed as public document and as such it will be available to the com mittee.

KIWANIANS HEAR
 CLUB PRESIDENT
International Head Points To Urgent Need For Old
 Fashioned Morality

Calling upon the 300 Kiwanians present from north Alabama to make the. Kiwanis standard of honesty and service their guide in the solution of individual problems, Edmund F. Arras, of Columbus, Ohio, international Xii wanis president made an appeal for a return to the old-fashioned American morality in an address as guest of honor at a banquet in the Southern club Friday night
 When Darby Brown, president of the Birmingham Kiwanis club, who acted as toastmaster, invited members of clubs in neighboring towns and cities to stand, visiting Kiwanians from AlbanyDecatur, Alexander City. An niston, Bessemer. Ensley, Fairfield. Gadsden, Sheffield and Tuscaloosa were loudly applauded as they arose to ac- Knowledge the welcome of their fellow members of Birmingham. Several stunts had been arranged beforehand, involving the Teapot Dome scandal city and county problems, the new courthouse, the need for q new library and the new city auditorium. Music was furnished by the Birmingham-S Sou thern orchestra.
 Outlines Ideals
 In his speech of introduction, Darby Brown spoke of the ideals upon which the International Kiwanis club was or ganized as being the practical appli- cation of the Golden Rule in personal and business relationships. He pre- sented Mir. Afras as an admirable example of these principles and de- scribed his interest in the work of the organization.
 "The kiwanis club is infinitely more than just a luncheon club he said Tt is dedicated to the principle of ser ice. Its members are pledged to carry out to the fullest their civic duties. They must work for high standard of personal and national honesty on which everything worth while depends"
 The speaker referred to the Teapot Dome scandal as a national calmity and pointed out that it was too serious q matter to joke about He added that individuals and small communities must suffer from any act of dis honesty on the part of high govern ment officials.

RAILROAD'S ORDER
 CAUSES OPTIMISM
Tennessee Company Assured Of
 Longtime Operation
tFAIRFIELD BpREAU)

FAIRFIELD, Ala, March ,14:-The Louisville and Nashville Railroad com. pany order to the Chickasaw works for cars involving about $4,220,0 900 as officially announced Friday, was re- ceived in Fairfield with the deepest in terest. .Sc,E
 Added to the previous announcement of the Tennessee company as to the foffr open hearths and the sheet mill, the order was more than enough to double the optimism prevalent in this city The week has been one of the, swiftest development, involving the placing of large mills and the receipt of an order that guarantees the steady operation of the Chickasaw plant for a gratifying length of time.
 The car works in Fairfield, inclosed within the fence of the Fairfield works has been singled out by the Louisville and Nashville for mG<y evidences of regard and patronage, it being recalled that the first order booked at Chicka- saw came from the line headed by w l.. Mapother, and there have been ire. quent Implications of the evidence that the Louisville and Nashville manage ment esteemed the Fairfield operations highly.
 It is well known here that the Louis. vile and Nashville railroad has proved one of the closest friends the Tennessee company has ever had and it is stated that the company is always sure that the '.old faithful will provide orders from time to time.
 The cars to be built at the Chickasaw plant, added to the orders on hand and those pending, will provide the local works with a steady plant operation There has been some pessimism created due to the break in operations. and while the capacity will not be ap- preached, it is thought the situation now warrants the fullest optimism.
 New Home Started-Constructio was started Friday on $25,000 home for Dr. Joe N. Carmichael, to be sit uated at DeBardeleben avenue and Parkway. The building permit issued at the city hall indicates that the home will be one ot the most attractive in

Rolled w afers For Salad.
 Course

"HE hostess who realizes the value
 of unusual accompaniments can A decide upon nothing more delicious than rolled waters to round out the salad course. Put a single layer of waters in a colander over a kettle of boiling water. If the waters are al lowed to overlap the steam cannot en- tirely surround each and rolling will be difficult. When the waters are softened remove one at time and roll up as for a jelly roll. Some find that the round handle of knife or work is an aid in getting neatly rolled wafer. You must work quickly or those waters remaining in the steam will take up too much moisture and go to pieces when they are handled. Place on a rack or plate in such a manner as to retain the roll, but not so closely crowded to- gether as to crush. Allow to stand twenty-four hours in a warm, dry place. Just before serving brush with melted butter and crisp in hot oven.
