NO WORD RECEIVED
 FROM GEN. SIBERT
City Anxiously Awaits Plans
 For Crossings

City officials were wondering Thurs day when Gen. w. IL. Sipert's recom- mendatiOns in the grade qEo: sing elimi- nation movement a week ago to the Chember of Commerce, the organization which engaged him to survey the local situation.
 There were indications that Sibert will be asked to speed up the report un- less it arrives before the end of the week. City ordinances requiring the railroads to begin construction of under passes at Fourteenth, Eighteenth and Twentieth streets have been prepared for several weeks, but action has been deferred pending consideration of the generals report, which probably will urge yiaducts as a substitute for under passes.
 City Engineer A. J. Hawkins, who drew the city's crossing relief plans, ex- pressed belief that General Sibert's rec concentrations would be in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce within the next few days. He called attention to the fact that the general was given a mass of data to consider before writ ing his report.
 According to Commission President D. D. McLendon, the city will take definite action towards protecting the open crossings as soon as Sibert's find l lmgs are studied.

 Because few of the women were pres ent, it is thought a large portion of their subscriptions are as yet unre- ported. Favorable news has reached headquarters unofficially, and for this reason Mrs. D. K. Bucks, chairman of the woman's division, has announced that the goal of her workers for the present week will be $11 800, to assure the total of the women's share of the receipts.
 Prizse Offered
 Many incentives to redouble their eff forts have been made the women work CTS by Birmingham stores, by way of offering prizes to those making the largest collections.
 Job Rose Thursday offered hand some mesh bag, in addition to the six prizes still unclaimed Mrs. Fisher Thursday was awarded the negligee ! offered by Augusta Friedman. Those remaining, besides the mesh bag from Job Rose, are floor lamp by Pizitz, a dinner ring by Reid Lawson, a hat by Hirsch, a dress by J. Blach and Sons, and $25 reduction on any dress in 0dum, Bowers & White.
 Mrs. Charles J. Sharp was the prin- ciple speaker at the luncheon taking at topic, "The Need of Higher Education Facilities for the Young WOmanhood of Alabama" in which she made plea for Montevallo funds.
 She added upon request, few re- marks about the democratic national convention, to which she was a delegate. Mrs. Sharp, upon beginning her talk, presented a $50 check to the fund, add ing that she expects to give $50 every 2 year for the next four years.
 Large Donations
 Several large individual donations were made Thursday, including two gifts of $500, made by Mrs. Crawford Johnson and by the Pratt Consolidated Coal company; a $400 donation from Mrs. Frank Rushton; $200 from Mrs. Robert Jemison, Jr.; and three $100 gifts from Mrs. Oscar Wells, Mrs. Mar garet Rhodes, and Mrs. J. $. Sewell.
 The Rotary club further increased their share of the collections by about $500. They now have collected a total of $4,925. The Quest club made a pre- liminary gift of SIP, announcing that their aim is 100 per cent subscription which as yet they have not attained.
 Thursday Mrs. D. F. Bucks ap- pointed Mrs. Charles J. Sharp, and Mrs. H. D. Pearce to head a special committee of women workers who are expected to swell considerably the wom. ems contributions to the college. Just what the method of campaigning of these women will be was not divulged All that could be learned was that big results are expected of them.
 When the civic clubs make their next report at headquarters at Loveman, Jo seph and LOeb's department store, it is said, q surplus is in store for the, work CTS. But in the meantime, leaders said they are working away steadily without thought of sensational developments which they explained are often tht downfall of campaign of this sort, be cause Over-cOnfidence may set in.
