MORE DOLLS NEEDED l
 FOR HOSPITAL BAZAAR!
Mary Garden Donates Large DolI-Proceeds for ChiI-
 dren's Hospital Fund

More dollars are needed for the Doll Bazaar, which will be held in the Ledger building, on First avenue and Twenty first street, December T. 8, 9 and 10. The proceeds from this bazar, which is held every year, are used as the main support of the Children's hospital, where sick, crippled and afflicted babies are taken for treatment. In many instances. the little ones brought to this hospital are poor and homeless and after receiving the very best of medical attention they are placed in homes with a loving mother to care for them.
 The committee in charge of the Doll Bazar has sbeen working for weeks pre- pairing for this annual event. There is always a scarcity of dolls and many more could be sold every year if they were only contributed. The Linly lief lin unit of the American Red Cross, or ganized during the war, has charge of the bazaar this year., and is being assisted by the various other organizations in the city.
 ''Wouldn't it be a splendid feeling on F-~~N made some children in Birmingham very happy" said Mrs. Brenton Fisk, chair man of the publicity committee. "Of course, one's own kiddies come first. but in planning for them just remember there may be some who will not be made happy unless some one with big heart thinks of them.
 "By dressing a, doll and donating it to this cause some little girl will be made very happy, and at the same time it will help make possible the home and much needed care for these sick babies. The handsome doll donated by Mary Gar den, the opera star, is just beautiful. This doll, who will bear the name of the donor, is as large as a 2-year-old baby, and has lovely brown curls. Her eyes open and close and she has long, dark eyelashes. This doll will be given the child guessing the number of beans in glass jar, and it is expected that a large number of Birmingham children will enter this contest in an effort to win beautiful Mary Garden.

"Behind and Before" was the title of the sermon yesterday. in which at tention was called to the background and foreground of the picture.
 What is the background of that picturer' asked Dr. Edmonds. 'It is
 "The Passion and The Resurrection Metal is first melted and then molded That is what the suffering and resur- rection of Jesus meant to them. It had turned their tears to steel and had left them unshaken and unshakable. Paurs prayer expresses 1t: o to be conformable unto his death; O, to know the power of His resurrection!'

MERCY AND LENIENCY

There are a class of crimes in which the trial judge is to be commended for showing mercy and leniency, but crimes that are inspired and committed purely for mercenary reasons are not in that class The limit of the law in such cases will tend to reduce the num- Der of offenders.
 ''FoilOwing the example set by
 the judges, the solfcitOr's office
 should show some pep and real
 ambition to prosecute. The ten
 dency to trade for n plea of guilty
 and light fine or sentence should
 be discarded for real desire to
 try the case on it's merits.
 "The solicitor should see that no man is indicted unless there are reasonable prospects of conviction. Once indicted, legal bloodhound should be put on the defendants trail, one who would lath- Ter get conviction on the merits and substantial punishment than plea of guilty and light fine.
 '"The prosecutor should remember that acquitals are not a reflection on him if he does his duty. Ansinnoce1t man should be acquitted, and that without delay. On the other hand u 6 public should know that when man is indicted in this county that ne has a fight on his hands, and that the solici- tors office would just as soon Try him as trade with him, and a little better too.
 "If this be construed as a criticism OF the solicitor, it must be construed as a friendly one. That office is capable of doing more than l have outlined. It will probably accomplish more in the future than it has in the past, if it IS afforded sufficient facilities for so do- ing,
 APPEALS "In the matter of appeal, the 'eeord- CTS court and the criminal court should work together. rule should be adopted whereby an appeal from the recorders court would be returnable to and heard before the circuit court on the morning following the appeal The defendant should be required to announce immediately after his trial in the recorders court whether or not he intends to appeal. If he does, the witness should then and there be sum- moned by the recorder to appear be- fore the circuit court on the following morning and the case tried. The same procedure should apply to Judge Aber. nethys court.
 Tt is true that a defendant has five days in which to appeal and give b. nd, but there is no reason why rule should not be adopted requiring him for the purpose of expediting business to announce his intention of appealing or not immediately after his trial n the lower court. under penalty of waiving his right of appeal.
 DUTY OF PUBLIC Last, but not least. the public must perform its part. Jurors must raelize that the maintenance of law and order is the foundation of our government; that mans life Or property is of Lom- inal value unless law and order can te maintained.
 "At this crucial time in world affairs,

tween the civil and criminal divisions of the court.
 Our circuit court has one of the best presiding judges in the state, and I am confident that he can add valuable sug- gestions to the foregoing.
 Next in order would be eight
 ening upo on the part of the judges
 who preside over the criminal di-
 visions. There have been, accord-
 ing to my way of thinking. enough
 $50 fines imposed in the criminal
 division to make Iaw-abiding citi- .zens desire the impeachment of
 some of the judges who preside
 over that division.
 INCOMPETENT JUDGE
 "An incompetent judge is a menace to the public safety, and a judge, who for any reason hesitates or fails to avenge violation of the law, is worse than incompetent. No law can be en- forced, and particularly is this true of new law, such as the prohibition law, with such leniency as is now be- ing shown in the criminal court of this county.
 Tt is unjust to the sheriff and his deputies, to the police and the other officers charged with the apprehension of violators of the law, to require them at the risk of their lives to raid stills and apprehend blockade runners, rob- bers and thieves, or stand trial for im- peachment, and then let the guilty off with a $50 fine. What the criminal element in this county needs more than anything else is the prompt impo- sition of a liberal hard labor sentence.
 q was criticised while on the bench for the severity of sentences that I imposed, but I have the satisfaction of knowing that there were no rep eat CTS. No man that I sent to the roads or the penitentiary ever appeared be- fore me a second time.
 ITO give a man year and day for stealing a S2,000 automobile is to license stealing. Crimes that are com mitted for the money there is in it, such as robbery, larceny, burglary, vio- lating the liquor law and the like, must be made disastrously unprofit- able to the offender. The punishment ought to be so drastic that he would never set foot in Jefferson county again in the event he regained his lib- artx
