KWAN|ANS TALK
 0F LEGAL THINGS Hear Members of Bench and Bar Discuss Matters Be-
 fore the State

Lawyes' Day" was observed by the kiwanis Club at their meeting yester- day at the Tutwler hotel Prominent members of the profession were guests of the club members. Lieutenant Gov ernor Miller, Judge H. E. Abernethy and Judge Horace Wilkinson were guests of honor and the chief speakers of the day.
 George Yancey presided as chairman of the meeting and introduced the speaT- CTS. Judge Abernethy was introduced first. We have enough laws" he sad, the trouble is with the enforcement" Following the initial statement, the meeting was turned Over to fun and joke after joke was told on the legal profession. Judge Wilkinson also told of amusing experiences that he had had while on the bench.
 Lieutenant Governor Miller told what the extraordinary session of the legisa- ture would probably do. "The most seri- ous problem before the people today is to get the women registered and pre- pared to vote," he said. He also spoke of numbers of other bills which were rot included in the call of the governor. which would probably come up for dis cussion. A large number of statutes, ne said, were to be revised on account of the new census returns, which made some imperative and some applicable to those to whom they were not ln- tended. "On the whole" he said, the legislature will be in session much lonh- CT than we would like.'
 F. L. Woodruff, general managar of the southeastern branch of the south ern Bell Telephone Company, who is in Birmingham in the effort to better the conditions which the Birmingham branch has to face, explanied these matters to the Kiwanians at their weeyly meeting yesterday at the Tut wiler hotel
 He said the Birmingham telephone company is facing a situation that would take several weeks to clear up. q will be frank" he continued. We are now giving our patrons in Bir- mingham the worst service in years
 This condition, MT. Woodruff ex- plained, was due to the unfortunate weather of the summer, and the fact that the company was making a change of office. It would be several weeks, he said, before change for the better would be noticed.
 The reason for such service is that the revenue of the company is not suf- ficient to carry on the work as before. He illustrated by means of a chart showing that in the past five years the expenses had increased much faster than the revenue.
 By means of figures he enlarged on this fact, telling of the difficulty in se- curing material for installing new tel- ephones. He told that the Southern Bell Telephone Company had applied to the public service commission of Alabama for increased rate schedtle.
