DRIVE PLANNED
TO FORCE BOOST
IN COTTON DUTY
Manufacturers AssOcia-
ton Would Make South
Independent

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 81
The American Cotton Manufacturers
association here today, prepared to
agitate for a higher protective tariff
on cotton. Importations have curtailed
operations in domestic mills, the dele
gates declared.
The goal toward which the associa-
ton is working is to make the cotton
industry in the south independent with
its own dyeing, bleaching, finishing
and mercerizing plants and even with
its own facilities for the manufacture
Of the necessary machinery. The object
of this program is to do away with
the necessity of shipping new material
to the north or east for further pro-
cessing. Better distribution facilities. Of
the finished product is also aimed at.
The convention was opened by Presi-
dent William e. Beatty of Greenville,
s. c. Among the speakers was Henry
Mac Payne consulting engineer of the
American Mining Congress of New
York city.
In a review of the growth of the
southern cotton industry during the last
A years it was cited that the invest
ment of $17,000,000 in 81 mills en-
ploying 16,700 operative has increased
during that period to an investment
of nearly a billion dollars in 1,1S1
mills employing upwards of 225, 1000 OPP
eratives. There are some IL, 1850, 900 cot
ton spindles at work in the south,

COUNTY CONTRACT
FOR GASOLINE LET
Approximately 100000 Involved
In Annual Supply

Contract for Jefferson county's oil
and gasoline for the next six months
was let by the board of revenue Tues
day tothe Standard Oil company
through H. H. Ament, the company's
local representative. Several other
companies also entered bids.
The price agreed upon was cents a
gallon for motor oil, the price for gaso.
line to be two cents less per gallon
than the prevailing price at retail. The
county's oil and gasoline supply costs
approximately $4,000 a year, and
competition is always keen for the
contract.
Several months ago bids were opened
and the contract awarded to another
company, which quoted a lower price
and offered to furnish $4,000 bond
to back up its claim that its oil would
be as satisfactory as other oils quoted
at higher price. This bond was NOT
made, and the contract was made with
the Standard Oil company to supply
the county until this bond should be
made. At last Tuesdays meeting Of
the board, it was voted to open new
bids and make a new contract.

The Well Dressed Man
BY BEAUNASH
Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation OF Every Occasion
Touring In Summer

W7HO does not recall the good old
w DAYS when a man was turned
w out for automobiling like Stan
lev in quest Of Darkest Africa? That
was before the advent of the closed car
which has unquestionably retarded the
DEVELOPMENT of special automobile gar
ments. because it has made them UNI
necessary. The only distinctive article
in the automobile outfit which has SUR
yived all the years and changes Is the
buster. There is nothing to replace it
for open-car touring. 1t Is cool, clean
ly and compact. You can roll 1t into
ball and hardly muss it at all.
Virtually the same models and mate
rails in automobile busters are shown
today that were in vogue when the open
car was in it's heyday-linens, cottons,
crashes, mohairs, silks and silk-and-
linens in shades of dark gray or light
tan. Mohair, made with silk, wool or
cotton warp is especially well suited to
the duster, because it is a wiry fabric
which rebounds from rumpling. The
buster, sketched here, is long with full
fold skirts, patch pockets, wind-tabs on
the sleeves and deep flip-up collar that
buttons snugly to the neck. The back
of the duster may be plain or pleated,
but it is not usually belted. This is a
very useful garment for warm weather
and a complete protection to ones
clothes while touring.
1t is becoming increasingly the prac-
tice to wear knicker suits for motor
ing. They are thoroughly comfortable
and, in driving, leave the legs unen-
numbered, an important consideration.
The automobile cap should be of the
pleated sort which may be frightened,
so that it will stick fast in a whipping

ARMSTRONG Sure
OF Law RULING
Continues Move To Call
Vote On Change OF The
City Government

Hunter Armstrong. leader of the
movement now under way to restore
the aldermanic form Of government for
the city Of Birmingham, said Tuesday
his plans to call referendum on the
proposal had not been changed by the
statement from the city hall that no
machinery for it existed and could not
be provided until the state legislature
meets.
"The city hail ruling, as announced
In Tuesdays paper, was merely the per-
sonal opinion Of members Of the city
commission he said. ut is not based
on law or a knowledge of the election
machinery of the state and city"
Mr.. Armstrong referred to the Sem
ate bill $3.50 of the acts of 1923. This
bill provides that in any city of more
than 100000 population, the form Of
government may be changed in the
same way as other changes are brought
about.
He announced that he expected to 20
ahead with his original plan of getting
the necessary signatures and bring the
matter to vote of the people by next
March, so that the change might be
