General Good Time
at Lions Luncheon
Thursday, Nov. 9Th

At the weekly luncheon of the
Lions Club held at the Rotary-Lions
room In the Ferris hotel Thursday
last, no set program was scheduled
and the members had a general good
time. although a few matters of i'm
portance were discussed.
A number Of the Cubs signified
their intention of going to Cheyenne
on November 22nd when Harry
Newman. International president Of
the organization, will be there and
speak to the order in that city. 1t
is believed that about ~ Cubs will
go to Cheyenne, thus the local chap
ter will have a good representation
on that day.
Considerable merriment was had
at the expense OF Gale Finley, he
being one OF the latest members Of
the organization to leave the ranks
of single bliss to go into the bonds
of matrimony.
The matter OF the sending out Of
the ballots which have for their pur-
pose polling a straw vote on the To-
cation Of the new high school, was
not discussed. A few weeks ago a
committee was appointed on this
matter and the order for the printing
Of the ballots was placed in the hands
OF a printing office. These ballots
are being sent out this week and it
is believed that before long the re-
ports will be available.

Charles J. Barr. assistant to the vice president of the Chickasaw Ship building and Car company, and su- perintendent of the Chickasaw ship building plant at Mobile. has resigned his position and shortly will go to charge of the Algoma Steel corpora tion plant there, according to infor- nation received from Mobile Monday.
 MT. Barr, who built the Chickasaw plant at Mobile, and has been super intendent since its establishment in 1917, was formerly superintendent of the Ensley works of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, and subsequently, superintendent of the Fairfield works and assistant to the vice president of the Tennessee com pany. He built the Fairfield works, and Is widely known throughout the United States as an authority on steel plant construction.
 Mir Barr first came to Birmingham in 1906, when he left the position of superintendent of the Lackawanna steel works at Buffalo, N. Y.; to be- cone general superintendent of the Ensley works. He resigned in 1916 to accept the position of president and poration at Sault Ste. Marie. While in Michigan he was strickel with pneumonia. and upon his recovery accepted an offer 10 return to Bir- mingham as general superintendent of the Fairfield works, which he built. He was subsequently, made as- sistant to the vice president and su- perintendent of the shipbuilding plant of the Chickasaw company.
 It Is understood that MT. Barr will return to the Algoma Steel corpora tion in an executive position, al- though no definite announcement to this effect has been made.

$50,000 START MADE. FOR 1924 BUILDINGS
Spencer Predicts $15,000,000 Year
 Despite Political Handicaps

City Building Inspector J. E. Spen- cer. in venturing the prediction Mon- day that 1924 will be $15,ooo, 900 building year for Birmingham, said he was making allowances for "poli- ties"
 "The next twelve months" he said, will be filled with politics, both local, state and national. Annd 1t has been my observation that poli- tics always retards building prog ress to a considerable extent.
 "If we had no politics to contend with In 1924 believe the building local state and national. And it 000,000 or $17,000.000. As politics and politicians will be with us throughout the year, however, I am setting my forecast at $15,000. .000- and I don't believe the politicians can keep Us from reaching that figure"
 Inspector Spencer closed his books for 1923 Saturday with a total of $12.166,996. All permits Issued Mon day were dated January 1 and will count on the new years record.
 The year started with a rush, per- mits being issued for a total of ap- proxmately $50,000. The largest was for an $11 ,000 apartment house, to be erected by Mrs. Ormie Traynor on South Ridge Park avenue between Twenty-first and Sycamore streets. J. F. Adams Is the contractor.
 Another permit authorized the Mo Coy Memorial Methodist church to lay the coundation for its new edi- flee, at cost of S6,000. Permit for the building proper will be taken out later

ROBERTS, CHICAGO, SIGMA NU CHIEF.
Biennial Convention Closes With Election Of Officers
 And Business Reports

J. M. Roberts of Chicago was elected regent of the Sigma Nu fraternity at the final session of the biennial con- vention which convened In Birming- ham last Friday morning. The elec- tion of officers was the concluding feature of the busy four-day session which ended shortly after noon Mon- day.
 MT. Roberts, who is a prominent Chicago manufacturer and business man, is an alumnus of the Univer- sity of Chicago, and has held the off, flee of vice regent of the fraternity for the past two years. He succeeds George A. Smith of New York, who retires from two years of service.
 Oscar Palmour of Atlanta was elected vice regent, being promoted to that position from that of coun- sellor. Other officers elected were. Orville M. Barnett of Columbia. Mo-, counsellor; Capt. Harry c. Fraser, United States army, grand chaplain S. F. Pegues of Chicago, grand treas- urer; MT. Barnett has been inspector for the Twelfth division for some time and Is an alumnus of the Univer- sity of Missouri. Captain Frazer is an alumnus of Columbia university of New York, and MT. Pegues, who is an alumnus of the University of Ala bama, is a native of Tuscaloosa.
 The high council, which Is composed of the officers named above, will make the selection for general secre- tary and assistant general secretary, and editor of "The Delta" The re- election of Ernest Lee Williams as general secretary, and H. A. Rider as assistant general secretary and editor of "The Delta," were considered as certain. John C. Scott of Purdue uni versity was elected to the position general historian and will be paid a salary to devote his time to the posi- ton until a complete history of the fraternity Is prepared. It is expected that from six months to two years will be consumed in this work. This action of the convention was taken at the final session following asmo- tion by Borden Burr of Birmingham, who spoke in favor of preparing history of the fraternity.
 An invitation to hold the next bien- nial conveption. which convenes the last week n December, 1925, was re- ceiyed from French Lick, Ind, no ac- tion was taken, however. upon the invitation, as the grand council makes the decisions as to the convention city.
 Most of the delegates left the city Monday afternoon and last night, al- though considerable number re- mained over to participate in the New Year festivities and dances at the clubs and the Tutwiler.
 This has been the most successful convention in the history of the Sigma Nu fraternity" declared the retiring regent. George A. Smith. at the con cluding session yesterday. MT. Smith was loud in his praise of the hospital. ity shown, not only by the local Sigma Nus, but by the people of Bir- mingham generally and declared in every respect the convention had been highly profitable.
