, any city whose municipal boundaries include an equal amount of territory.
 Phe adequate policing of Birming- ham by our present force is impossi- ble. No matter how vigilant its mem- bers may be, they can't be in half a dozen places at the same time. A force consisting of about 40 uni formed men cannot patrol fifty square miles of territory.
 Norwood, where many robberies have occurred and where a man re- gently had his throat cut by negro footpads is without regular police protection, and so is the South High lands district. An average of eight men on bicycles are supposed to pa- trol East Lake, Avondale, North Bir- mingham and West End, two covering each district. There are from one to three motorcycle policemen who have no regular beats to cover, but ride about the city at night. Two men are kept at police headquarters to answer emergency calls. In case of sickness or accidents, the force is still further handicapped, as there are no reserves to substitute for men who can't per form their duties.
 The police force is not to blame for the present era of lawlessness. It is entirely too small for the size of Bir- mingham.

Democratic Women.

T am very much interested in the democratic women joining and being members of that party" said Mrs. Hat tie Morrow" Since the days of 1865 the democratic solid south has stood for white supremacy and for the protection of southern womanhood. The solid south is just as real and strong today as it was in '65, and it stands for tte same principles now as then, and if it has stood the test for more than fifty years it must be right As south arn democracy is synonymous with protec- tion of women it would be worse than traitorous for us to think, talk or vote any other way. If the straight democratic ticket has been good |enough for our forefathers, husbands, brothers and sweethearts, it is good enough for us, and I am going up and Iscratch under the rooster and tcel proud of it.''

Auto Lights.

While the enforcement of the dim mer ordinance is being talked about it would also be good time to wage war on automobiles being operated with only one light" said Gray Tate. ITO meet car on the road with one light burning is most confusing for it is practically impossible to tell which side the light is on until you get within a few feet of it. This prac, tice, together with bright lights, is cer- tainly menace to automobile driving at night and many accidents would be avoided, most likely, if the dinner or- dinance was enforced and an ordinance adopted prohibiting the operation of an automobile with only one light

T have seldom seen anything more various show windows of the Victrola dealers on the Geraldine Farrar con- cert, which will take place tomorrow evening at the Jefferson under the au- spices of the 'All-Star Concerts. said Gordon Erickson, the new community sing director. T lived in Chicago a long time and have seen many artistic decorations in music store windows there, but Birmingham certainly takes the prize on the Farrar window decora- singer presented in their window dec- orations as Carmen one of her favor ite roles; a miniature stage with real electric lights and scenic effects is complete in it's appointments and is very unique. The c. C. Holcom5e Mu- sic Company has very original idea for the window decorations; there's a little cottage with all the home-like settings and a word which suggests that you can hear Geraldine Farrar at the Jefferson on Wednesday evening, and you can hear her in your own homo every evening on the Victrola. The Williams Music store has very attrac- tive stage arrangement, with the great of 'Gilda,' in 'Rigoletto,' with the stage effects beautifully carried out. Bir- mingham ought to be proud of the fine spirit of cooperation which the music houses have shown in the great Farrar great and uccessful-everybody work ing together"
