The Birmingham Young Womens
Christian association has an ever-wid-
ening field of influence within this
community The present year has
marked a sufficient subscription from
the citizens to liquidate the debt which
rested upon the building and to put
it upon an easy running basis.
The organization looks out upon its
field from the tenth year of its exist
ence, in a well founded, permanently
founded and well organized condition.
The two buildings face two streets, one
on Capitol park, having bright and
street, where visitors and members
from all parts of the city on the street
cars find a ready entrance.
In the building facing West Twen-
tieth is found the spacious living room
and the attractive parlors and library.
AT the other entrance the very invit-
ing cafe. The four top floors of the
new building are given over to bed
rooms and 112 may be accommodated.
well equipped gymnasium occupies
the top of the old building; the swim
ming pool with it's accompanying
dressing rooms and showers occupy the
ground floor of the new building; also
here may be found the trunk room, well
appointed laundry, kitchen, furnace and
store rooms
The association has successfully at
tempted many departments of work
which older ones have not essayed

Publicity given the supreme court OF
Alabama in an article in Golfers mag
azire more than a year ago, calling
attention to the case of Wood VS.. the
state, in which the letter '1' was omit
ted from the word malice" making the
Indictment read, with msice afore-
thought" in place of the words, ''lmalice
aforethought," served to great ex-
tent TO focus attention upon the evils
of purely technical constructions as
practiced by the Alabama court. In
contradistinctton to that case the court
of Fowler VS.. the state that the use of
the words malice of forethought' in
place of the words rmale aforethoughts'
as provided by the form set out in the
code, did not render it void or impair

ly, 1t might be mentioned in this con-
nection that nearly all of the recent
decisions of two appellate courts have
shown a strong tendency toward more
liberal Interpretation of the law---to-
ward progressivism.
Thus has come about the movement
for judicial reform in Alabama. The
sub ject has assumed such gigantic pro-
portions that 1t has made its Impress
in every county of the state, kindling
public sentiment to white heat and
creating an unmistakable demand for {,
more efficient administration of Justice
As result during the past year five
white men were sentenced in Alabama
to be hanged for murder, three in Jer-
ferson county and two In Montgomery
had not received the death sentence
since the civil war. Moreover, all five
of these men were J'an@ed on the day
set for their execution.
But this Is not all. One of the JUS
tices of the supreme court so i'm
pressed with the movement, has sug-
gested the need of legislation requiring
the higher courts to meet once every
year or every two years for the pur-
pose OF pointing out defects in the law,
revising statutes and making recon-
mendations to the law making body of
the state. Going a step further, this
progressive judge--Justice Thomas c.
McClellan--has taken up with Chief JUS
tice Sydney White of the Mississippi
supreme court and with other supreme
court justices throughout the south the
question of an annual convention of the
appellate judges for the purpose of con
sidering methods looking to uniform
ity in court procedure.
The courts are trying to save them-
selves.

the next special conference of the ius
tees of the two courts he will recon-
mend that the supreme court require
abstracts of all cases and a sufficient
number of briefs to be filed to give
each member of the court copy. This
will allow all the judges an ample OPP
portunity to examine the records and
Will give the state the benefit of de-
cisions that reflect more generally the
views of the entire court.
Another great evil under which the
supreme court is suffering and one to
which attention was called in the let
ter of the associate justices is the spe-
cial charge system which causes re-
versals upon errors that do not ma
terially affect the merits of the case.
This system is believed to be respon-
sible for one-half of the reversals. In
the opinion of several justices of the
supreme court it may be corrected by
the court, but the majority of justices
incline to the belief that the needed
reform can be provided only by legis-
lative enactment.
AS remedy for this evil Governor
QNeal has recommended adoption of
the rule which exists in England and
which now obtains in several states Of
the union which is in substance that
the legislature shall enact a law that
no Judgment shall be reversed and no
new trial shall be granted on the
ground of msdirection of jury or
improper admission of evidence or fact.
or error in any matter of pleading,
