WORK NEGRO WOMEN
 ON PUBLIC STREETS
BesSemer Wants LegiSlations
 Against Women Criminals
BOARD OF TRADE TO MEET
Will Consider Report of Committee On the Extension of City Limits and Changing the Ward
 Lines.

Bessemer, December 3.-(Special.)- Quite a new idea and one which on sec ond thought will appeal to those who are interested in civic government was sprung at the meeting of the special committee, appointed by a mass meet ing, to consider needed legislation for Bessemer. held in the Rebie hall tonight.
 we recommend to the Board of Trade that steps be taken looking to the intro duction of a bill in the legislature of Alabama, which shall be a general law, applicable to the whole state. authoriz- ing the working of negro women, ar rested for crime, on the streets, says the report.
 It is argued that there are hundreds of negro women. vagrants, quarrelers fight CTS and disordery criminals. on the streets of every city, whom it is impos- sible to arrest on account of the cost of keeping them. Not more than dozen can be used for cooking or washing and the others become a heavy expense, crowd ing the prison and licking the city's lard CT clean. Time and again these arrests have been made, but when the limit has already been reached they have to be let alone. These women are said to be the cause of more trouble than comes from almost any source.
 It is not intended to put upon them the hardest street work, but merely the light labor such as hoeing weeds, dig glng dtches and keeping the town in clean condition, anything to help pay for their board.
 Extending the City Limits.
 At the meeting were present Capt. J. M. Crook, chairman: c. L. Odel, J. E. Rog CTS, pr. E. P. Lacey and Lee Moody. Another recommendation of importance was that the corporate limits be extend- cd in several directions. Following is the proposed boundary line, beginning at Ala bama avenue and Twelfth street, extend- ing to Tenth street and Alabama avenue, thence along Tenth street to Nineteenth avenue, then east to Twentieth street, then south to Twelfth avenue, then east to Thirty street, then south to Carolina avenue, then east to Thirty fifth street, then south to Holdbrook ave- nue, down Holdbrook avenue to Twelfth street, and back to Alabama avenue again.
 This plan would take in a population of from three to five thousand, and would not include any manufacturing plants which are now outside the city limits.
 All of these recommendations will be submitted to the meeting of the Board of Trade Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, which has been called to consider mat ters of vital importance to the city.
 Among others. the questions of chang ing the ward lines, and of increasing the number of wards will be given the at tentiou of the body. This is probably the most important meeting of the board ever held, and the president is especially anxious that every member be present.

telephoned the country, found that
Crate had been there and collected all

Order R m nding Them to Dis
trict Court Is Withdrawn By
Judge Mcpherson
MOTION TO BE HEARD AGAIN
Judge Of Federal Court Orders That
Cases Stand as They Are Until Mo-
ton to Remand Them Comes Up for
Second Misunderstanding Set fer On
or Before December 1. :

The paving cases carried to the fed
eral court in Des Moines from the dis
trict court by the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing Company, will not be returned to
the district court, at least not until the
motion to remand them is heard again.
BY an order issued Thursday, upon APP
plication of the Barber Asphalt Com
pany, Judge Mcpherson withdrew his
order Of October II, which returned
the cases to the district court until
another hearing Of the motion. He no.
titled the attorneys interested that he
would hear arguments on the motion
any time not later than December l.
AS a result Of this order, the status OF
the cases remains just as it was prior
to the issuance of the order of octo-
Der II, which returned them to the
district court.
A rather peculiar incident connected
with the order Of October II is that al
tho it was issued on that date, no no.
tice of it was received by the attor-
neys Of parties interested until We'd
nesday. 1t was found in the federal
clerks Office by one Of the attorneys.
Another Turn in Cases.
BY motions fled in the district court
this morning another development has
made an appearance in the cases, so
far as the local court is concerned. To-
day motions were filed by the Barber
Company in all the cases in
the district court asking that the COM
pany be eliminated as defendant with
the city in the cases which the prop
erty owners brought against the city.
While the cases were in progress the
city, by a cross petition, forced the
paving company to become a co-de-.
PENDANT with it. The position taken
by the Barber Asphalt Company, by its
motions Of today, is the same as that
assumed by the plaintiff property own
ers, whose attorneys have for some
time had motions on file asking that
the paving company be eliminated
from the cases.

| Dear Sir: The way to reckon the
cost of paint is to put both costs to-
gether: the cost of the paint and the
cost of putting 1t on.
1t would save this country hundreds
| of millions of dollars year; 1t would
save you alone Gf you happen to be a
victim) several dollars year.
See how it works. 1T costs as much
to put on one paint as another, don't
it?
Yes. if you use the same number of
gallons.
Well, don't /?
No, You'll use twice as many gal
Ions of adulterated paint as of Deyoe:
and you've got to pay twice as much
for putting it on.
