Indications are hat in the years to
come the name of Cornelius Patrick Me-
iptyre, Aldermanic repre- sentative of the
Fourth Ward in the Montgomery City
Council. will be used TO frighten bad lit
tie Montgomery boys. He Is opposed to
the flying of kites within the confines of
the city of Montgomery, and will no
doubt be regarded by the infantile kite
flyers as a veritabie 'bogie man.
Listen to this. We little kite-fiyers Of
Montgomery: , d.
Kites In the city of Montgomery, by Al
derman Mcintyre.
Section 1. Be 1t ordained by the City
Council Of Montgomery as follows: No
person shall fly any kite In the city Of
Montgomery.
."Sec. 2 Be 1t further ordained, that
any person violating the provisions Of
Section 1 of this ordinance shall, upon
conviction, be fined not less than one
nor more than five dollars
Little boys of Montgomery, you papas
will tell you that this means IL Alderman
Cornelius Patrick Mcintyre Is successful
In his desire to place prohibition upon
kite-hying, 1t will cost you from one dol
lar to five doilars-a whole lot of money
II the big policeman on your beat catches
YOU. in the act of sailing your little kites
into the cerulean blue. which, In palmer
words, is the. sky.
And Alderman Cornelius Patrick McIn-
tyre IL very much In earnest about this
kite ordinance. He introduced it at the
last session Of the City Council. and it
Is understood that he will urge its pas
sage. He says 1t was introduced after
a conference with City Electrician Blakey.
who told him that kite flying interfered
with the wires of the city and should he
stopped. So Alderman Cornelius Patrick
Mcintyre proposes to stop 1t.
Listen, little boys of Montgomery Time
was when Cornelius Patrick Mcintyre
was good little Montgomery boy. His
tory says he was accustomed to fly the
prettiest kites that were ever made in
the Capital City. 1t was an art with
Patrick Cornelius Mcintyre. He was en-
We'd by other little boys. Throughout the
long summer days his little kite sailed
the sultry skies and little Cornelius Pat
rick Mcintyre was happy. But the cycle
OF time revolved. as the cycle has a way
of doing, and years came into the life of
Cornelius Patrick Mcintyre. His people
honored him and he found himself Crap
pling with the problems that confront a
great municipal government. Age sat up
on him and he could no more fly kites.
Hard-hearted. you say? No, no. Cor
nelius Patrick Mcintyre has been told
that your little kites are menace to the
wiring Of this big city.
Envious? No. for Cornelius Patrick
Mcintyre Is admired by his fellow citi-
zens. and he has reaped a measure of the
success that comes to ambitious and en-
ergetic young men. He is now flying the
kite of prosperity.
When you come down town Monday
look about you If you see a square
shouldered young man. with a fiorid
complexion. wearing gold-rimmed spec
tacles on his nose and big Panama
hat on his head, you can walk right up TO
him and say:
"Gpod-day, Mr.. Mcintyre"
He will laugh CHEEKY laugh and will
beam OIL you benevolently. but his smile
will not mean that he intends to with
draw the hte-hying ordinance, for he
does mot.
A bad little Montgomery boy who has
heard of the Mcintyre ordinance, is dis
posed to be bellicose.
