Few things contribute more to

good plumbing, says the United

United States have little or no

The bulletin illustrates Il number

will not be able to do his own
plumbing, many do have the skill

LEEDS DEMANDS CONCRETE ROAD
 AT MASS MEET
Revenue Board Candidates Find Community In
 Fighting Mood

Candidates for the board of reyel nue who invaded Leeds Friday night found the citizens of that thriving lit- tie city in a fighting mood. Sa g5 x ! 4 s'yYs have been sadly neglected as4 eIAked tIi 9uslse who nFegiaea 0Nek a mkxs fheetiilg n the Baptizf thaFcll, ssshd we wanf definite statement from all board candidates iii connection with highways. The road between Leeds and Birmingham is in fearful condition and an outrage to the citizens of this sec tion, We are determined to have . concrete road in its place"
 The candidates lined up and ex- plafned their positions in three-min- ute speeches A number of direct prom ises we're given, but others promised only to do their utmost to remedy the situation. All admitted, after having ridden over the road, that it was in a shocking cOndition-almost impossible in places.
 Thomas E. Huey, tue only member of the present revenue board who was present, said the road is part of the Bankhead highway and that the Ala. bama highway commission is solely re- sponaible for its maintenance.
 s''I am impressed with your needs. :, Huey said, but can make no additional pledges Since have been on the board, &1D2. .7S6 has been spent on roads in you4 district. This was all we could possibly do. The responsi- bility for the Birminghanl road rests squarely with the state highway com mission.
 Mfr. Judge Foundly scored the highs way commission, declaring Leeds eiti- zens went to Mcntgonery and t'wept on the shoulders of the members, only to be left in the valley of despair. ]"
 Judge also demanded educational re- lief for the Leeds section, declaring the school facilities were utterly made quate. J. ". Legsett, candidate for the board of education, declared he would fstrive earnestly, if elected. to find way to give the needed relief"
 Judge said Leeds hsd grown tired of being the hair-lip child in the house of JeffersOn.' The voters there want promises on which they may rely, he said.
 A concert by the Leeds Music Study club preceded the political meeting and the program was featured by an orig inal song by Mrs. Whitemire, reflect ing the community's indignation about the condition of the Birmingham road.
 More than 25 candidates addressed the meeting, which was the largest of the campaign to date. The speakers in. cluded candidates for circuit judge. county treasurer, coroner and the rev enue board "

B. Moore, traffic manager of the shipping board in Europe, declared today at the House shipping inquiry.
 Representative LineberEer. repub- hean, California, suggested that tbe British were successful because of their continuity of policy, 7 and asked if this country should not adopt q similar def- mite position with regard to it's trade routes.
 ..The British stick pretty well to- sether,s' Mir. Moore asserted and added, IT believe a similar policy essential to our trade"
 The witness agreed with Representa- tive Davis. democrat, Tennessee, com mittee s"prosecutor," that improvement in domestic trade could be brought about if Americans spread out" like the English in the ownership of shiph ping stock and a policy similar to that governing stock ownership, in railroads were followed.
 Another improvement in the building up of domestic commerce, said Mir. Moore, might be brought about by direct solicitation by the fleet corporation of repFestntatiyes abroad for westbOund eargoes instead of depending upon ship ping board operators agents for such business as is the present practice. Consolidation of trade routes, now being earned out by the board and fleet cor poFation. will be more helpful than anything else" he added.
 Representative Davis reiterated pre- vious charges that board operators have no incentive to seek cargoes for their vessels under the present operating com tract because it provides for a com mission on gross receipts regardless of loss or profits. He further charged that operators were receiving graft on steyedoring contracts and in other ways defeating the ends of successful ship ping venture by not reporting ''uneon- scionable charges, to the Washington office. Moore testified that oppOrtuni- ties for graft" were being eliminated.

sl,2OO,ODO VOTED TO HALT INRJJSH OF IMMIGRANTS House Votes Large In- crease When Faced By
 Alien Ban SENATE APPROVES EXCLUSION BILL 62 To 6 Vote Sends 1924 Immigration Law To
 Joint Conference
tBy Leased Wire to Ase-HsraId.) )

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-An ap- propriation of $1 100000 has been voted by the House to throw a picket line of guards along the borders to stop the wholesale 'bootlegging" of aliens and the expected movement by Japanese immigrants to get into the country. as result of the exclusion provision of the new immigration law.
 This amount will provide for approxi- ihately 800 more border guards. It was voted as part of the labor depart ment appropriation bill. 72 to 58. de- spite the opposition of Chairman Mad den of the appropriations committee, who objected because it was beyond the budget estimate.
 Its passage was given impetus by the situation created by the exclusion of the Japs and by the plea of W. W. Illus band, commissioner of immigrations who appeared before the appropriations com mittee Friday with plea for allotment of funds for plugging up the leaks along the borders. Husband expects attempts by Japanese to get across the thousands of miles of borderland, now almost un- guarded.
 There is some talk of asking for troops to patrol the border against bootleg" immigrants.
 It happened after the Chinese ex- clusion act was passed" Husband said, discussing the situation "and we've been having fight with them for 20 years. I expect the Japanese to do the same thing. As soon as an exclusion act is passed, or quotas cut down, there always comes an attempt to slip sur reptitiously into the country, on the part of all types of immigrants"
 There are now but a handful. of guards along the Mexican border. only 60 scattered from east to west. There are none on the Canadian border, though inspectors act partly on this ca pacity. Husband expects to station the additional guards. except about 90, along the borders. 225 along the Canad- ian border, 225 along the Mexican bor- der. The other 50 he plans to place along the Florida coast and at other outlying points.
