COUNTY LOSES ON
 STATE PRISONERS No Advance In Food Allow ance In Past 25 Years,
 Says Sheriff

Rolls Of state prisoners fed by Jef- ferson county during the past month were presented to William J. Waldrop, circuit court clerk, late yesterday aft -ernoon.
 Tabulations presented showed that 3,713 meals had been served by the county jail cook to the prisoners regis tered from the state courts and the sum to be received by Sheriff Chris Hartsfield for this totaled s1,114,
 Only 30 cents a day is allowed the sheriff for feeding the prisoners. mak ing 10 cents a meal. Inquiry to find out how it was possible for a man to live on 30 cents a day elicited the in- sheriff said that the county paid the difference in the actual cost and stood for the loss sustained on the state prisoners.
 It was stated by those familiar with the situation that the law regarding the feeding of state prisoners has not been changed in twenty-five years and that for years it had been impossible to feed the prisoners within the amount specified by law.
 Sheriff Hartsfield stopped shaving himself long enough to say that the most stringent economy in public of flee these days was necessary to live on salaries fixed years ago.

JEWISH WOMEN
 BEGIN CAMPA|G Local Council Seek to Raise Funds for Educational
 Work

The Council of Jewish Women of Bir- n1ingham have begun their campaign for the raising of s1,25o, which amount has been assigned to this section.
 A national drive is now being made all over the United States for the crea- ton of fund to be used in educational work among immigrants in the various larger centers in the United States, us main purpose being to teach the inmi- grants love, esteem and reverence for the principles that America, symnonom- ous with freedom. really stands for, and what is to be expected from them as American citizens.
 The great importance of this work has heretofore been so forcibly presented by writers and speakers of national fame that a repetition is deemed unnneces- sary.
 The council of Jewish Women believes that although it's national organization and it's various sections throughout the United States, it is peculiarly 1ltted 10 carry on this work. and 1t believes that the results derived from this effort will rebound to a better citizenship ana better understanding
 Mrs. D. H. Cronheim, president of the local section, who is also one of the national vice chairmen of this worthy ca ampaign feels assured of response rom all approached. and anticipates no diff culty in raising this comparatively small quota in a very short time.
 With Mrs. Morris Adler, as chairmSh' Mrs. Benjamin Leader, secretary: Mrs' philin Oste~. treasurer, the following local members of the council have vol rnteered their services; Mrs. Louis Saks, lille Frost. Jean Fies, Eugene Jacobs, T I. Mendelsohn, Alex Levy, L. B. sWeil and w. B. Eiseman.

.DENSON OBJECTS
 TO JURY VEN|RE Judge Evans to Hear Mo- ti0n to Quash- -Irregulari-
 ties Claimed

Motion of attorney Will A. Denson, made before Judge Richard Evans yes- terday afternoon. following his motion of yesterday morning to quash the venire of jurymen in circuit court. will not be de- c.ded until Judge Evans goes into the case further.
 The motion made yesterday morning to quash the venire was overruled by Judge Evans on the grounds that Mir. Denson would have to wait until he was put upon his venire. that the question was moot one and that the attorney had no right to appear amicus curie. Which, inter- preted for lay uses. means that as MT. Denson did not have a case before the court at that time he would have to wait until he did have one.
 When the case of Williams vs. the Louisville and Nashville Railroad came up in the afternoon, Attorney Denson, representing the complainant, again re- newed his motion and Judge Evans, not having time that late in the afternoon to hear the particulars as to why the venire should be quashed, the jury box contain ing the names of prospective jurors was sealed in court.
 On the seal of the jury box Judge Evans wrote his name and MT. Densbn was allowed the same privilege. The box was then sent to the vault of the treas- urer and will be held sealed until the case. is heard.
 In the motion to quash the venire Mr Denson claimed that there were irregu- larities in the selection of the names.

French Professor Lectures to Students
 of French Language
Leisure Illustrated By Stereopticon Slides Showing Interesting
 Scenes In France

Under the auspices of the Alliance Andre Allix, professor of geography in Francaise of Birmingham. Monsieur Andre Allix, professor of geography in one of the largest colleges in France, iectured to an audience of 100 persons on the mezzanine floor of the Tutwiler last night.
 The lecture was in the interest of students of the French language. but was highly entertaining as well, being illustrated by stereopticon slides. Pho toraphs of France and interesting scenes in countries near France were shown and explained.
 simon Klotz, president of the Bir- mingham French alliance, was pleased with the affair, but pointed out that other entertainments in Birmingham last night had attracted some of their patrons, particularly the University of Alabama Glee Club concert and the charity ball at the Country Club.
 To one who did not understand French the lecture seemed like the noted French professor was telling E. G. Horton. Birmingham weather man, who speaks French fluently. what he thought of his brand of Easter weather. Sure enough. Mir Horton admitted after the lecture, that he came in for a few jokes along these lines.
