AMEND ORDINANCE
 ON ADVERTISING
Requests Made to Have It Regulate Fraudulent Advertising by Non
 residents of City

An advertising ordinance will be drafted by City Attorney Romaine Boyd and brought before the commission again at the meeting next Tuesday, according to the resolution adopted at the city com mission meeting yesterday after large delegation from the Birmingham Ad club and others had made arguments.
 A delegation of 12 or 15 well known ad men represented the Birmingham Ad club, having as their spokesman Attorney Isa- dore Shapiro Besides MT. Shapiro, pr. o. T. Dozier and J. A. Martin, advertising manager of the Progressive Farmer, made speeches.
 The original ordinance as introduced by Mir Shapiro was amended by pr. Dozier to include in it's scope the publishers who knowingly or negligently publish fake or fraudulent advertising. Mir. Martin spoke last and strongly indorsed Dr. Dozier's amendment. The commissioners referred the matter to Attorney Boyd to draft an ordinance embodying both MT. Shapiros s ordinance and Dr. Dozer's amendment.
 The original ordinance made it mis- demeanor for any merchant or person whatsoever to knowingly or negligently advertise any sale of goods or service by mlsrepresentations and fraudulent or ex- travagant statements. This Dr. Dozier said was all right as far as it went, but 1t effected only the local advertisers. Men who lived in another city, but who ad- vertised in Birmingham, he said should be regulated also. And, as the city of Birmingham could in no way regulate the actions of a citizen of another town, the only way to get at the matter was to reg ulate the local publisher who publishes the out-of-town mans advertisement. Dr. DozierS and Mir. Martin also cited instances in which practice of this kind had been followed by very bad results, and the men who were doing it could not be lmolested in any way. Mir. Martin said the original ordinance was now in force in Atlanta and was nothing but joke. The amended ordinance was then ordered drafted and indications are 1t will be passed.

 Judge Joseph H. Nathan of Sheffield, and Walter S. Richardson of Montgom- cry, campaign managers for Captain Reuben F. Kolb, were visitors. John H. Wallace, Jr., chairman of the state game and fish commission, and until recently a gubernatorial aspirant, was another interesting figure.

HERE TO PROMOTE
 PEACE CELEBRATION

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Among the notable passengers who arrived in New York this week on the Baltic was the Earl of Kintore. who is a firm believer in closer Anglo-American re- lations and has come over to assist in the efforts to make the celebration of the hundred years of peace among English-speaking peoples an epoch marking event The Earl is a prom inent figure in social and political life in England. He was at one time a Lord-in-waiting to Queen Victoria, and subsequently served as Governor of South Australia. He was born in 1852 and succeeded his father in the title in 1880. The title is very old one. The first Earl of Kintore was created Knight-Marischal of Scot land in 1860 and that office was made hereditary in his family in considera. ton of the loyalty and dexterity he had displayed in preventing the Scotch regalia from failing into the hands of Cromwell.
