CHIEF WEIR TO CLEAN
 POOL ROOMS OF BOYS
Instructions Are Issued to Policemen to Arrest All Minors Found LoaRng Around Pool Rooms, Bar Rooms and Gambling
 Houses and Also the Propreors of Such Places

Chief of Police Wier yesterday issued instructions to the policemen to arrest all minors found loafing about pool rooms. barrooms and gambling places. Also he wants every proprietor arrested who all lows boys to loaf around the premises
 If the pool room is not connected with a bar room Chief Wier instructs that the man running the pool tables shall be arr rested. and if it is connected with a bar room he wants the proprietor of the bar arrested.
 state law has been found that covers this matter and Chief wier states that he is now able to make 1t hot for the proprietors as well as the boys, and that he intends doing so.
 Special instructions were issued to Po- licemen Burke and Murphy. who are not confined to any particular beat. to watch out for these places and to arrest the proprietors and the loafers and carry

them before Judge Feagin.
 The action of Chief wier wss taken partly as a result of two articles appear ing in the Hotel Lobby column of The Age-HeraId expressing views of two prominent citizens.
 Chief Wier said yesterday:
 q am going to have these places cleaned out as rapidly as possible. That state law making 1t an offense for pro- prietor of pool room or bar room 10 allow minors in their establishments was only unearthed recently. and I am going to see what effect 1t will have on the people running these places in Bir- mingham.
 If Judge Feagin will do his part now, | believe that we can reform matters. If the Judge will put heavy fines on the boys and the proprietors brought before him, the police department can soon break up the offense."

SEED VEGETABLES
 IN GREAT DEMAND Morris Avenue Dealers Are
 Kept Very Busy NORTHERN SEEDS IN VOGUE Sweet Potatoes Largely Bedded from the Local Growth-Mail Order
 Business Is Brisk-earden
 Seeds in Bulk.
NORTHERN SEEDS IN VOGUE

The warm days of the past week have encouraged farming preparations and in- augurated an active business for seed dealers.
 Men on Morris avenue who handle seed vegetables say their sales in this line are very satisfactory. The large percentage of seed stock is from the north. Onion sets have registered heavy sales for some time past The choicest sets are from Ohio. The potato trade is not so far ad- vanced as that in onions, though sales are pretty brisk Seed potatoes are bought all the way from Maine to Ten nessee. Nearly every planter has his own idea as to the best planting stock. so the best is a matter of personal opinion Potatoes grown in the extreme north are in favor with many, however. Other farmers perfer to use seed from neighboring Tennessee to the Maine pro- duction.
 Seed Sweet Potatoes.
 Sweet potatoes are largely bedded from the local growth. The season has hard ly opened, but later on Birmingham deal CTS will sell seed sweet potatoes exten- sively. Quite a lot of seed corn the earlier varieties. is handled by merchants here. Seed corn from the north, how ever, is for roastlngear patches. The real crop is planted from .he crib.
 Clerks in the retail seed stores are ex- ceedingly busy and have been for week past. Trade over the counter is extreme ly heavy, and the mail order business Is reported large. Garden seeds are be- ing purchased in packages and in bulk.
 Truck farming which is pursued exten- sively around BirmiHa ham, makes this point favored location for sales and dis trihution of seeds. The present time is probably the best in the year for this business. People start to making garden preparations the first bright spring weather, and now numerous truck patches are well under way.
 Imported Seed.
 Nearly all seeds and seed vegetables are of foreign growth. Better results, 1t is said, are gotten from the importations. Besides, this state with her broad ex- panse of fertile acres and excellent eli- matic conditions. does not raise yege- tables in quantities rufficient for home consumption. not to speak of a portion for the next years planting
 The spring, with its regenerating tide, does not affect seed sellers alone Deal- CTS in garden tools. farming implements, gear and fertilizers, all enjoy an increased business. The spring business is on in earnest and farmers can purchase all of their seed vegetables and garden seeds now.

 President Moore Talks.
 In speaking of the meeting yesterday, President Moore said:
 "The meeting of the Pastors union to- day was attended by one hundred or more.
 .'The committee upon the feasibility of holding a union revival in Birmingham made a report recommending substan- tially as follows. That series of meet ings be held that the city be districted and a separate meeting be held in each district; that 1t be left to the workers In each district as to whether or not spe- cial evangelist be engaged, and that April be set as the time for beginning the revival.
 "The discussion that followed was full, free and general Some thought the time set was too early. Others thought that it was too late; that a revival should be- gin at once Some favored a concert of action without having in fact a union meeting.
 '.Others thought each church should act for itself and every church begin revi- val in its own house as soon as possible. A motion to substitute october in the place of April as the time for beginning was lost. It was quite evident that the preachers had not made up their minds dS lO W0dI they WdnNtus 1huiNitdoA ShSA . is not concert of action, and concerted ac- ton may not mean united effort.
 Time Ripe.
 But notwithstanding the failure to agree upon any definite course, there is a deep-seated feeling among many of the ministers that the time is ripe for union revival in Birmingham. The work begun by Evans Roberts in Wales and the eff o..A 1ar ff1 London are producing a profound effect upon this country. Many cities like Kansas City and Louisville have already enjoyed great revivals in which thou sands of conversions were reported. Many people in this city feel that the same blessing should be had here. Many pas- tors testify that their members are ap- preaching them on the subject and urg- ing a revival
 'The spirit of revival is in the air and 1t will not be a surprise if it should ss- sume definite shape in the near future The committees report was laid upon the table until the next meeting, at which time 1t is thought that the union will be ready for definite action.

While the world has learned much
about Russia, many people must have
frequently met with the mention of
icons" and wondered what they
might be and what part they played
in the war. An icon is simply re-
ligious picture, generally of little artis-
tic merit, and the subject usually rep
resented is either a Russian saint,
some event in the life of Jesus Christ,
or the Virgin Mary. In the Greek
Church, as in other Christian
churches, the worship of craven i'm
ages is forbidden, but no objection is
made to anything reproduced on a
fiat surface. Therefore icons are per-
mitted in the forms of mosaics, paint
ings, enamels or prints They play
an important part in the religious life
of the Russians, and are to be met
with everywhere--in churches, public
offices, private houses and shops. A
picture to become an icon must be
blessed by priest and ii is then re-
garded not only as an ornament, but
as an accessory in the worship Of the
Greek Church Icons are also worn
on the person, when they take the
form of a plaque or a book with two
leaves. Almost every soldier wears
one on his bosom, and when he prays
he takes out his icon and, opening it,
kneels down before it as if it were a
portable altar. 1t will be remembered
that General Kuropatkin before his
departure for the Far East, was pre-
sented with scores Of icons at the
different places which he visited, and
more than one priest at the battle of
the Yalu bore aloft the sacred icon
at the head of his regiment as it went
into action. Every regiment has its
own icon, which it carries as it
would carry its banner when the regi-
ment goes into battle.
