CITY MAY SWITCH lST AVENUE WORK
 TO FIFTH AVENUE
Commission, To Discuss Project With Citizens
 Friday Afternoon

Settlement of the First avenue pay ing-parking problem may be effected by putting the Improvements on Fifth avenue, south, and leaving First ave nue, from Fifty-second street to East Lake, alone :; as some of the residents of that section have suggested
 East Lake citizens, the city commis- sion and the board of revenue will dis cuss the question at meeting to be held in the city council chamber Fri day afternoon at 2 o'clock, the object being to find solution of the contro- versy.
 Municipal officials say the southern extremity of First avenue is claimed by the utility company. to be simply a right-of-way, never having been dedi- cated to the city as street, and there fore not open to too insistent demand on the part of the city, tho4Sh, the fact that 1t has been in constant use many years. may have automatically dedicated 1t as n public thoroughfare.
 ! A point in the discussion, brought out at the city hall Thursday, was that the owners of realty abntting on First avenue south of Fifty-seyenth street, 2 would not be subject to.the usual public improvement charges, but would get the work free. First avenue is a north and south highway and will be i'm proved at the cost of the city, county and Birmingham Electric c0npanys s
 N Conference Held
 Wednesday, President 2. E McLen- don, of the city conhhission; J. s. Pevear, general manager of the utility, and NJ B. White, attorney for the Bir- mingham Electric company, held a con ference on the opposition that has de veloped. regarding parking the East Lake end of First avenue, In the set clement ordinance, between the city and the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company, parking was provided for as part of the Improvement of First avenue. The ordinances was adopted. That ordinance can now be annuled, it was stated by city officials Thursday. Itswas also stated that those citizens of East Lake who are not opposed to park ing; are expected at the meeting.
 It was pointed out by officials that the provision for parking does not make such an improvement permanent, that no time limit is set on how long the parking shall endure or be maintained as such, but that the style of surfacins of the street can be changed at any time. A
 Serious consideration of switching the improvements to Fifth avenue south; has developed, not as a threat officials say; but simply as a solution of getting through paving.

A WORD TO WOMEN

A hundred and twenty-one thousand women would comprise. a vast army. Yet a canvass was recently made among more than that number of women who had used Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound for fem mine ailments. The result proved that. ninety-eight out of every hundred re- ported benefit from its use. This is most remarkable evidence of the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable-C pound over the ills of womankind, and should influence every sick and ailing woman to try it.

LEGION DEMANDS.
 ADEQUATE FORCE, LABOR IS TOLD|
Federation Delegates To Fl Paso Meet Attend
 Barbecue In Juarez
(By Associated Press.)

FL PASO, Texas, Nov. 20.-Ade- quate defense forces on land and sea will be demanded by the American Le- zion until lasting international con cord is established on principles of just tice," National Commander James A. Drain told the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor to- day.
 "The legion desires peace, and strives for peace because it knows war;" he said. Tt is doing what it can to bring about the reduction of armaments. But. until that day comes when 8 lasting peace is established on principles of justice, the United States must main tain navy equal to any. Its army must be very efficient and capable of quick expansion to the emergency of war: and its air forces must be ade- quate. We must have reserve forces for land, sea and air, and industry must be prepared for the demands of war"
 Commander Drain outlined the legion program for disabled veterans and for child welfare, and pledged legion sup port for a universal war time conscrip- tion measure applicable to wealth as well as men. ~ 
 Commander Drain was presented to the convention by George l.. Berry, president of the International Press mems union.
 "There exists between the Fedora. tion of Labor and the American Le- zion relationship both cordial and cooperative" Berry said.
 "The legion has indorsed every hu- manitarian enterprise sponsored by the American Federation of Labor. and there has been nothing approved in the councils of the American Legion to which the American Federation of La bor cannot subscribe"
 In short business session this morn- ing, the convention approved the re ports of its committees on legislation and organization. The afternoon ses- sion adjourned immediately after invit- ing Commander Drain to attend bar becue in Jaurez, arranged by the El Paso entertainment committee.

NEW SHEET PLANT BELIEVED MAGNET FOR SMALL MILLS.
Ingalls, Declares Tennes- see Company Develop
 ment Means Much

The erection of the recently an- nounced sheet steel plant by the Ten nessee company at Fairfield is of para mount importance to Birmingham and will likely result in many small plants locating here and producing sheet prod ucts, according to Robert l. 1ngalls, president of the Ingalls, Iron works, and head of the chamber of commerce.
 MT. Ingalls, has just returned from A trip to Muscle Shoals where he was one of the Birmingham party of manu- lecturers who met a similar delesa- tion from Illinois. He said the trip was one of absorbing interest, and that the visitors were tremendously impressed with the project and convinced of the necessity for its development along the proper lines.
 MT. Ingalls, said as the means of de- velopment and to whom it should be given, the visitors and the Birmingham delegates maintained strict reticence.
 "The Birmingham district and its achievements has attracted wide notice and interest in the north, according to the visitors we met" said Mir. Ingalls,. |. "They seemed to think that our dis trict was on the crest of wave which will carry it forward amazingly dur
  is shared here for many of us believe the erection of the sheet mill at Fair field by the Tennessee company is one of the most important and significant developments for some years. The erec- tion of that mill will, l think, bring to Birmingham any number of small plants whose business it will be to produce sheet metal products. In fact l am not reluctant to say that between now and the first of the oncoming year, there should be interesting announce ments made in Birmingham concerning new industries. They are unquestlon- ably on the way.
 "Taken as a whole the situation in Birmingham is good and there IS ev- cry reason for this community to feel most sanquine over the immediate out look"
