HUSBAND LEAVES
 WIFE AND THEIR FOUR
 CHILDREN DESTITUTE

A pathetic appeal was received by Postmaster R. B. Smyer yesterday from Mrs. Georgia Lanthripp of Goodwater, asking him to help her locate her hus- band, Thomas Lothes Lathripp, stating he is badly needed at home to take care Of his wife and four children. She stated that her husband had been work ing at Jasper where he lived with his mother but had gone from there to Cor dova and then to Dora where he was up until two months ago, when he ceased to write.
 Her letters were returned undelivered and upon investigation she found that her husband had disappeared leaving no trace behind while his mother had gone to Georgia.
 Mrs. Lathripp stated that her father was dead and she was living with her mother at Goodwater, and that one of the children was ill and she had no means of support. Lanthripp is de- scribed as being six feet tall weighing 200 pounds with black hair and blue eyes and round face.
 MT. Smyer has no way of securing the address of Lanthripp and has turned the letter over to the police department The address of Mrs. Lanthripp is R. F. D. No. ?. Box 3l, Goodwater. Ala.

TRAFFIC BUREAU
 IS MAKING GOOD More Merchants Are JOinC ing for the Free Service
 Every Week

The Birmingham Traffic Bureau Is talk, ing in new members with regularity.
 The monthly record of saving to mem- bers in the collection of claims for dam ages and losses in transit as well as overcharges. averages around $17.Oo0 to S2o, 900 in thls department alone.
 Many members do not attempt to go over their own freight bills, but send all of them each week to the bureau and the bureau does this work free of charge. Being done by traffic and rate experts the smallest error is detected.
 Neither is there any trouble about col lecting the money from the railroads. The railroads send the checks on proven claims direct to the bureau and the bu- reau mails them out direct to members.
 Ten to a dozen of these checks arrive with each mail.
 Among the firms recently seeking mem bership in the bureau are Birmingham Dry Goods Company, Batson Grocery C Com pany, Sylacauga; Progressive Farmer; Prowell Stove Company; Skel- ton Brothers, Scottsboro; Hood-McPhear- son Company; J. E. Jones Company; Unit Stove and Furnace Company, and Orbon Stove Company Belleville. III.

DEALERS JOINING FORCES ID COMBAT
 CITY HEALTH LAW
Health Department Claims Ordinance Allows Shop men to Use Own Judg-
 ment in Coverings

Following the filing of a petition by several fruit dealers in the chaneery division of the circuit court yesterday seeking 10 enjoin the enforcement of the city's ordinance on screening or fruits, preparations were made by the city to combat the granting of the in junction.
 Friday, June II, has been set as the time when Judge Hugh A. Locke will hear the reasons of the city why the injunction should not be granted.
 The petition was filed by Weatherly, Deedmeyer & Birch, acting as attor- neys for twelve of the retail fruit dealers who were recently arrested and fined for the violation of the ordinance in the police court.
 we are absolutely sure of win hing" said George Lewis Bailles, as sistant city attorney. The ordinance was drawn up for the protection of the public health and is sound constitu- tionally and legally. We are prepared to fight this organized effort on the part of certain fruit dealers in the city to kill the ordinance and we will per sst in the fight until we are success full"
 The petition asks that a temporary injunction be granted, restraining the city from arresting or interfering with the business of the dealers in any way and that at final hearing the injunc- tion be made permanent.
 It declares that Dr. J. n. Bowling, city health officer, is vested with ab solute power in the enforcement of the law, having no set rule for the en- forcement, but whatever in his judg- ment complies with the law.
 The fruit dealers state that if they comply with all the demands made in the ordinance they would be forced out of business.
 They say that the ordinance is dis criminatory and oppressive, giving the health officer the power to demand one thing one day and another on the next 1t is claimed that they are harrassed by continual arrests, each day co1sti- tuting separate offense.
 The beauty of the ordinance is the part which is attacked" said Dr. J. D. Bowling. Instead of setting down q hard and fast rule by which the deal CTS must abide or suffer the conse~ quences, the ordinance offers them the opportunity to screen the fruit and vegetables which are used without cooking by any means they might have at hand, eliminating possible expense. Thus, a piece of glass over a cherry box is sufficient to shut out the files and vermin and is satisfactory The | law does not say they rpust have this | or that. but in the axact words, the | arcticles must be efficiently and effec- lively protected by suitable and appro- l priate cover nFe ",

CONSTANT IS CALL
 FOR HAM AND EGGS

Why do people who wear gay ties all ways eat eggs when they dine in a reS taurant? Managers of eating houses in Birmingham are not trying to find an answer to the question, but just the same they say that eggs and just plain ham and eggs are the most popular items on the bill of fare these days.
 Clever cashiers in the leading down. town restaurants maintain they can add up a customers bill by looking at his necktie. even before they see the checks.
 While on the other hand, old walters in the game say they can tell what per son wants to eat by the way he looks over the bill of fare.
 If the diner scans the menu in a care less fashion, then lays it down and picks up toothpick. he is gong to order ham and eggs they say. But if he scans the bill of fare with an intent gaze it is a sure sign he is going to ask if they have any fresh eggs left.
 It is generally considered by managers of eating houses in Birmingham that eggs and just plain ham and eggs are not food for thought, but food for the stomach.
 The majority of the people of Birming- ham are always in a hurry. restaurant managers maintain. and the food that can be cooked in the shortest time ana eaten in the shortest time is likely to be the most popular.
 Small steaks" are the next most popu- lar item on the bill of fare. But even lsteaks are not popular twenty-four hours of the day like ham and eggs. Steaks
