When the doors of the Automobile show close tonight at Il o'clock, Bir- mingham will have had the honor of conducting to a successful conclusion the biggest, most complete and most largely attended automobile show in the south.
 The attendance figures for the first five days are practically equal to att tendance figures in other large cities for the entire week. And with the thousands added who will visit the show today, it is a sure thing that all will be broken. according to local dealers and Manager Henry B. Marks.
 Today is to be the biggest of the entire show. Hundreds of visitors ar rived in town yesterday and will re- main over today. The state dealers. who met here yesterday, have practi- cally all remained over.
 If the expressions of visitors to the show are to be taken as an indica- tion, the Birmingham show puts it all over shows that have been staged in many of the large eastern cities. Considering that this is the first ex- hibit of the kind that Birmingham has

MOBILE GRAND JURY
 RETURNS 16O BILLS
Great Secrecy as to Names of Those Indicted Until
 Arrests Are Made

Mobile, March 9.-(Special.)- )-The grand jury in a partial report made Thursday afternoon, returned 16O true bills, rec ord for the county. One hundred and twenty of them were based on alleged violations of the prohibition law. Soon after the report was made 1t was learned that Mayor Harry Pillans and Commits sioner Lag Schwarz and Pat J. Lyons were summoned by the inquisitors It was generally rumored that the city fath- CTS were questioned with reference to the city's attitude in enforcing the pro- hibition law.
 Soon after the law went into effect, all the money in fines went to the state treasury. The city commissioners adopted an ordinance almost the same in con struction as that of the state. Violators were fined and the revenue went into the muncipalitys coffers. Among the cases tried since then a number were appealed. These appeal cases have been receiving the attention of the circuit court How ever. there was no Imprisonment penalty possible in this class of appeals, it is un- derstood. They were looked upon as civil cases. to test the right of the city to impose a fine in such cases. In nu- merous instances the city has arrested violators on state charges when notice of appeals were given to the recorder. The state charge was held as a kind of whip" over the alleged offenders to make them pay the city's fine.
 Utmost secrecy is maintained here to- day concerning the persons indicted It is street report that many questions have been asked about the sale of liquor in some local clubs, and it is also said that effort has been made to determine the amount of liquor if any, which has been sold in local hotels.
 Significant with the grand jurys report is the report of previous inquisitorial bod ies for the last two terms. At the latter times the true bills found were very small in number, the smallest in the recent years history of the county Judge B. M Miller of Camden is the presiding judge

 BIGGER ONE NEXT YEAR

And now that we've got the conf dence of the people and shown them what we can do. we are going to put over bigger one than ever next year." he said.
 The local dealers are enthusiastic in their praise of MT. Marks for the way he handled the show And they're es- pecially enthusiastic when they con suit the books and see actual orders that have been taken during the week. They admit themselves that they didn think it could be done. But they ad- init that they are satisfied now that i- can be done again and on bigger scale. and they're going to try it again.

FOOD INSPECTION IS HAMMERED BY
 LACK OF FUNDS
This Branch of State De- partment of Agriculture Issues Report Showing
 Very Bad Situation

Montgomery, March 9.-tSpeciaL) Because the appropriation for the ex- animation of food under the state food and drug laws is not sufficient for the work, much food unfit for human consumption is being sold in the mar kets of Alabama and there is no way to relieve the situation. according to the annual report of J. M. Moore, food and drug clerk of the state depart ment of agriculture, contained in the annual report of the department Of agriculture. which was completed Thursday MT. Moore said the facts presented a serious situation; that many good manufacturers and dealers have frankly admitted that the food and drug situation in this state is se- rious and that if there is a food and drug law in this state they do not know it.
 Although 30 per cent of the few samples of food offered for human consumption which were collected were unfit for use. the state does not appropriate one penny for this work. However, it does make a small ap- propriation for chemical examinations of feedstuffs given to horses and other animals
 During the fiscal year, which was the first under the new administra- ton, the receipts were 31,549.40 com pared with $19,335.29 the previous fiscal year, an increase of $12,214.11, or 63.17 per cent. And the year was a short one, due to high prices and pe- culiar conditions which were not faced by other years.
 James A. Wade. state commissioner of agriculture. made general report for his department which preceded the reports of the various bureaus He said he and assistants had made an effort to convince the farmers that they should plant crops which would be worth money regardless of boil weevil conditions and mentioned that much literature had been sent out dur : ing the year. Because of the bad con dition of the state treasury not all the appropriation for the department has been used and about S400 of the monthly appropriation of $500 has been left in the treasury. During the year the departments total saving was $2265.65
 Commissioner Wade called atten-
 tion to the decrease in the sale of fertilizer tags, indicating that little fertilizer was being used now because of high prices resulting from the war Total receipts of the department dur ing the year for fertilizer tags and other items were $69,775.69.

DANCE FOR VISITORS

After the snow closed, Fashionable Birmingham betook itself to the Tut wiler hotel where the local dealers entertained a dance in honor of the visiting state dealers
 The ballroom of the Tutwiler. where the dance took place. was elaborately decorated for the occasion, and there was a programme replete with good cabaret and other features. Several hundred dealers and their wives and friends attended the dance. which was arranged by a special committee with F. P. Merritt as chairman.
 T must admit that even I am sur prised at the success of the automo- bile show. said Mir. Marks T knew it was going to be a big one, but didn't know there were so many au- tomobile enthusiasts in Birmingham.
 The cooperation among the dealers has done much to put over the show and to make it the success it has been. l shall count the show here among the very best that I ever staged and have staged many of them in the biggest cities in the country"
