 Illustrated

The Alabama Art League will hold Tutwiler ballroom, continuing the dis cussion of civic art. William Warren will make an address, which will be il- lustrated with co1ored slides sent by the American Federation of Art.
 MT. Warren, the well known archi- tect of the firm of Warren 2 Knight contends that utility in civic building does not necessarily imply ugliness. He urges everyone to take an active in- terest in the Art League, because, he says, such organizations are factor in the advancement of culture.
 Civic art is a thing that ought to be fostered in Birmingham" said MT Warren Civic art may be applied in making the streets more beautiful with an unusual lamp post here. for instance, and aS pretty drinking foun- tain there. It touehes the home, it teaches the Identification of residential districts and therefore enhances the value of property
 There is nothing impractical about the Art League and all who are eager to beautify their city and their home environment should become members The idea that because one is inter- esteu III art Tn US sarlouS 1ormS ne IS visionary and idealistic is a mistake for art has it's practical applications and it has a commercial va lue l hope to see a beautiful civic cen ter grouped around Capitol Park some day, when the plan has been developed on definite basis. 1 hope all the citizens will express their ideas as to it's details, The Art League is going to help by trying to interest the public generally in this form of civic improve ment."

 Championships

Athletic Club officials are finding themselves rather showed under with work at present. The southern anna teur boxing championshiD tournament will be held Monday and Tuesday of next week. and B. A. c. officials are putting all their time on making the affair complete success.
 The fact that Bill Streit was able to land this assignment for Birming ham when he attended the meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union is some what proof of the fact that the Magic City Is regarded rather high in ma tional athletic circles. With several southern cities open for the meet, 1t is something of boost to local civic pride that Birmingham was picked from out the field of New orleans, At lsnta, Memphis. Nashville and others.
 The south's greatest and best will be assembled here next week. New Orleans. one of the greatest cities in crackerjack team to compete for the titles. Several boxers on the New Or leans team are regarded as possible champs. Competition from this direc- ton is srN, to be keen.
 Five colleges will be represented, as well as Atlanta. Nashville. Memphis and ether southern cities. Of course, the representation will be through the clubs or associations of the different cities.
 Since he was so lucky as to land the tournament. Bill Streit has set his mind on capturing some of the titles that will be floating around here next week. To accomplish this end. splen- did team of boxers has been organized at the Athletic Club
 A boxing instructor was engaged, in the perScn of certain MT. Tompklns, former boxer from New Jersey. h. structor Tommy was wonder with the mitts in his day. and still pos sesses an abuncance of talent in i'm parting his rin.. eraftiness and handi- ness to apt purile
 Coach Hutsell and Bill Streit have also collected tl,e necessary apt pupils. The cily's talent has been herded to- gcthe~ and the likely ones picked out gather for special attention. The az sregaticn of club boxers is indeed powerful one.
 Instructor Tompkins begins grind this week calculated to land the boxers In the very best of condition for the tournament. Each man will be re- Guired to work certain length oi time each day, and to work in the most literal sense of the word Road work gymnastics, boxing and other forms oi conditioning best known to an in structor will be thrust on the men The club has several hopefuls whc are especially the darlings of Streit's eyes. Bill confided to us yesterday that he is expecting at least two oI three of his men to finish right near the top, if not on top itself
 Much time and worry has been spent ir planning next weeks tourney and unless Birmingham lands title or SC there will be several surprised, dumb founded and disappointed men at the Athletic Club.

SCIENTISTS ID FORM NEW ORGANIZATION.
Laboratory Workers and Others Interested Plan
 Organization Meeting

Laboratory workers and doctors of the city will organize the Birmingham Pathological Society Wednesday even ing at o'clock. March IT. at meet ing to be held in the banquet hall of the Southern Club.
 R. G. Martin and J. R. Bean, patho- logical chemists in the city department of health, have been named temporary chairman and secretary, respectively, and with several others are handling the arrangements for the Coming meet ing.
 The programme so far prepared calls for a supper, followed by an address to be delivered by a speaker not yet chosen, then the business meeting of official organization, closing with the election of officers.
 More than fifty scientists have inti- mated their desire to join the organi- zation, and all laboratory workers who are graduates of colleges or universi- ties are eligible to membership, as well as physicians and surgeons.
 The object of the organization is to give opportunities of discussion of new developments, comparison of notes on laboratory work, to hear addresses from noted scientists and to generally
  search in the Birmingham district
 It is the intention of the members to secure rooms for the organization as soon as it is formed, so the society may have home of it's own, and latef to develop this feature to the propor- tions of d well organized club.
 Physicians and surgeons of the city are very much interested in the new or ganization, for since the revelations of the microscope revolutionized the prac- tice of medicine, and gave such im- petus to surgery, the pathologist has taken his position in the world of med icine similar to that of the consultant with the world of engineering.
 The committee in charge of the pro- gramme for the night of March 17 is proceeding very slowly with the selec- tion of a speaker, for it is their desire to secure a sayant of no mean reputa- tion.

JUDGE WILKINSON
 WOULD PUNISH THE. . WIFE DESERTERS
Divorce Evil Cause of Grave Alarm, States Jurist to Grand Jury and Urges
 Investigation

The request yesterday made by Judge
 Horace Wilkinson that the grand jury
 investigate the numerous divorces
 brought in the chancery division of
 the circuit court has caused much comment in all quarters.
 According to figures furnished by Hunter Armstrong; register in chancery,
 the circuit court during the months of
 January and Febraury, which, accord ing to Judge Wilkinson, is cause for
 alarm. Where formerly Judge Hugh
 Locke was able to care for all requests
 for annulment of the marital bonds' Judge Wilkinson an dother jurists are
 also engaged in granting separations. due to the large number requested. The causes cited for separation are primarily cruelty, desertion and infi- delity. A good majority of divorces asked for are granted, according 10
 Judge Wilkinson, because of the fact
 that they are scarcely ever contested. Judge Wilkinson believes that the
 evil can be checked by the court talk ing action in desertion and cruelty cases, by punishing the offenders, or compelling the deserting husband to
 support his family.
 Calling the grand jury before him yesterday the judge made some
 pointed remarks on the divorce condl- tions, and urged the grand jury to make full investigation of the matter. "The majority of divorces asked Cor are on the ground of desertion, and when man is charged with deserton by his wife the grand jury should in- vestigate the charge and if it is found that he is guilty he should suffer i-.e full penalty as provided by law said Judge Wilkinson.
 "1f a man is found guilty of any one of the charges that most of the divorce petitions are founded on, he should by all means be punished For it so as to deter others from such ac- tion. The hands of the courts are tied in the matter of passing a divorce case, there being nothing we can do when a petition uncontested comes ID except to grant it. as the law provides for the granting of the petition unless it is contested. and few, if any, are ever contested"
 One reason that Judge Wilkinson gives for the numerous requests For separation is the wartime marriages, ane these generally cite the reasons for desiring to part as cruelty, deser- tion and infidelity. and would come in line for punishment.
 When man or woman has a good, sound cause for separation. such as in- fidelity or similar reason. the court is ready to grant it. but the rate of a. hundred a month is much too many for district with a population such as ours and steps should be taken to pre- vent the condition by bringing to the bar of justice those who violate the law, as charged in the large majority of cases.

For the Good of
 the Community

UlGLI1C SySCGII Ol lIlCdOUI IOll1CliCO III VAlAH country. Advocates of this system con- tend that the American systems of meas urements and weights are difficult to url- derstand and based upon arbitrary stand ards, less easily understood than the met ric system.
 Just what this change would mean is shown in an article published in the Iron Age of March A. All present measures and weights would have to be discarded, including the yard stick, the bushel meas ure and the graduated cups and glasses used in drug stores.
 Among the changes mentioned in the Iron Age article are
 Grocers scales; peck and bushel meas ures; all recipes readjusted to kilograms; cook book rewritten; new milk bottles; gas meters replaced by new units of volume; water meters, tape measures and yard sticks
 Counter measuring machines, dry goods folded differently, new designations for sizes of photograph plates; quires and reams to be replaced by decimal mul- tiples, requiring changes at manufactur ing plants; all containers and cartons modified different numbering of shirts, cuffs and collars.
 In building materials and construction, square decimals, centares and ares would be substituted for board measure; dimen- sions of doors and windows would be stated in millietres instead of feet and inches; the same would apply to brick and other materials sold by the foot or yard; tin, terne, copper zinz, lead sheets and plates would be known under different units, and so would molds and pallets in brickyards; units of earth in excavations, cubic metres being substituted for cubic yard; architects drawings would have to be changed to new units.
 One hundred thousand railroad mile posts would have to be changed; standard gauge tracks be known as 1,435 milli- metre; mileage changed to kilometres in railroad time tables; books of rules re- written; speed given in new units; slow boards reprinted speed records scrapped; employees instructed in new methods of estimating speeds; dimensions of wheels axles, standard parts of car changed; railroad track and warehouse scales reconstructed; capacity of cars stated in new units.
 In public land surveys all present marks and descriptions would have to be changed to the metric units; descriptions of existing deeds would have to be rewrit- ten after expensive and elaborate efforts to put dimensions and areas in metric units
 The Iron Age concludes it's article with the following comment: The rewriting of all textbooks engineers tables, the changes in architects drawings in me- chanical drawings, the education of the personnel of machine shops and other in- ,dustries in the use of a new system of units are matters of greater magnitude than any yet undertaken by this country
 Whether the advantages to be gained by fixed standard of measures and weights for all countries would offset the difficulties and the expense of the change in this country is problem for the in- dividuals to work out for themselves.
 Congress has had the matte beSore it at various times and in various furfns for many years, but majority of the mem bers have never yet been convinced that
