A duel fought in darkness within
the small store of the Georgia Gro
Gerry company at the Seaboard pas
senger station early Sunday morn
ing resulted in the death of James
Williams, a negro chauffeur-burg-
lar, and the serious and perhaps
fatal injury of Nick Sakadelis,
proprietor of the establishment.
The duel started when Sakadelis
ordered the negro to halt, after he
had entered the grocery with burg

pistol, which is believed to have
been stolen from the Barker Gro

broken into several days ago, while
Sakadelis used a .20-bore shotgun.

REALTORS TOLD IlzONING ACTION
 SOON TO START
Benefits Of Proposed City Ordinance Are Cited
 By Leaders

Members of the Birmingham Real Estate Board have been assured by D.. E. McLendon, president of the city commission, that plans to establish city zoning regulations will be taken up al an early date.
 E Almost to the man. the board is in favor of Q zoning ordinance and various civic organizations also have indorsed the proposal.
 Here are some of the things 4 zoning act will do for Birmingham, in the opinion of realty men:
 1. It will protect small home own CTS from invasion by business or indus trial structures.
 ?. It will stabilize property values 3. It will enable Birmingham to bring considerable increase in real estate activity.
 Other Reasons There are various other reasons which leading realtors cite, not the least of which is that the, zoning plan has been highly successful in every other city where it has been established. W. J. Wynn, city attorney, who drew the bill which the legislature passed at it's last session, authorizing the city commission to enact the ordinance, is now. making a thorough study of z6n- ing problems and will draft the text of the Birmingham law. It is not the plan of the commission, according to President, McLendon, to adopt the measure until ali citizens and all interests have been given ample opportunity to be heard. Public hear ings probably will be held for several days when the commission gets ready to act.
 s+ Enabling Act
 : The legislatures enabling act was passed nearly a year ago and the com mission would have put zoning or dinance in operation months ago but for one thing-lack of funds for a city wide zoning survey.
 It is estimated that something like $20,000 will be required to do the work. President McLendon and his associates now hope to find this money within the next few weeks. They want the law established this year, by all means. l.
 Many real estate men have offered their assistance to the commission in the task ahead. The> commission is certain to accept these offers. For there are few realtors in the Magic City who

PREDICTS SPRING
 MOVING SLOW UP

Less moving about this spring during rental season is predicted by J. Wins ton Hale, well-known Birmingham seal- tor, in an interview Saturday after noon.
 Persons who now have satisfactory dwellings are not inclined to move out this spring" he asserted because good homes are extremely difficult to find. In spite of all the building that has been going on this season and during the past seasons there are great many homes needed.
 'Thousands of houses have been built. but the city is growing so rapidly that the influx of population is not fully cared for. Consequently, the demand is increasing
 Rents may go up this spring, but we are trying to maintain them at their present level. Demand makes prices soar, of course, but we are trying to keep rents down.
 'The best thing one can (lo if he con- templates moving this spring, is to put in his application and find home early. Otherwise he is likely to be left. If this is done the rental agents will be able to place more clients satisfac- torily."

LADIES! DARKEN

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded. gray hair. to- its natural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy ana attractive. Whenever her hair. took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied, with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at hofnesis mussy and out-o date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the ad- dition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to- restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says 1t darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been applied.

BIG CITIES TO.DO
 SPRING BUILDING
Report Shows 9 Leading Cen ters Gain In Construc-
  ton Work

That the larger cities of the country will absorb the major part of the exces' sive spring building activities now get. ting under way is shown in the detailed official reports made yesterday to the national monthly building survey of S. W. Strauss and company. The 25 cities which led in building permits for January showed a gain of 12 per cent over January last year and 57 per cent more than January, 1922. The total of permits issued in these p leading cities was 71.5 per cent of the total reported in 280 cities and towns.
 The gain for the entire country was little less than 10 per cent.
 Of the $236, ,2S6,5S3 January per mits issued in 2S0 cities and towns, $169 ,691 ,096 was in the 9 cities at the top of the list.
 Building Scars
 The volume of building in the larger centers is out of proportion to the popu- lation of these cities and may be taken as an indication that the building shortage in the smaller towns is not be- ing relieved as successfully as is the case in the large places.
 The greatest proportion of increased building activities is in the south, where gain of p per cent over last January was reported. The Pacific coast states gained g per cent and the eastern states 17 per cent, the increase in the latter group being centered large ly in New York city. Philadelphia, Bos- ton, Newark, Providence and Jersey City. Although the central west dis played a loss of 13 per cent, a number of the larger cities, excepting Chicago, made commendable gains.
 ! Predict Active Season
 "The significance of the reports here recorded lies mainly in the fact that they indicate the possible inception of another exceedingly active spring building season. the survey concludes.
 It is to be recalled that the excessive gains in building permits issued at this season is a duplicate of conditions ex- isting one year ago when the building movement gradually gained momentum boom-like proportions with the arrival of spring weather.
 Both labor and materials were we'll stabilized during January. There were fluctuations, both up and down, in building material prices but they were of minor importance.
