However, according to the ruling milk sold in Birmingham. either wholesale or retail, must be bottled by the dairyman and delivered to the con sumer in bottles with the seal un- broken. Chancellor Locke held that the city had the right to regulate this mat ter and though it will entail added ex- pense. the dairymen must comply with it.
 It is probable that an appeal will be taken on this issue as the dairymen feel that if they are forced to comply with this regulation it will put them out of business. For example, one dairyman stated that he sold 400 gal Ions of milk a day to cafes and 4S00 bottles would be required to bottle this amount of milk. This would necessi- tate his owning approximately 15.000 bottle. It was pointed out that the loss by breakage was very large.
 It is further stated that it is hard to get bottles to stand the sterilization tests. White Gibson, attorney for the dairymen stated that he hoped the city commission would find some way to

BIRMINGHAM MEN
 HONOR THEIR C|TY. Two Articles in Same Issue of Saturday Evening Post
 by Local Writers

There may be some question In certain minds as to whether Birmingham or Att lanta had the best of it in the last issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
 But at any rate the people of Birming- ham have cause to be satisfied, because two of the leading stories of the week in that issue were by Birmingham men. Oc- tavius Roy Cohen had an unusually good negro story under the title of "Gravey, while Bozeman Bulger, for many years a member of The Age-Herald staff. had clever story, called "The Logansport Breeze"
 Atlanta came in strong in this particu-, lar issue with an article by Edward G. Lowry. entitled Reconstruction, or Att lanta, for Instapce'
 The weeks edition might thus almost be called a southern number, with Bir-1 mingham and Atlanta carrying off the honors and Birmingham getting two shots to Atlantas one. W

FEDERAL AGENTS SEIZE AND DESTROY
 612 ILLICIT STILLS
Many Raids Made in Gulf Division and Thirty Six Automobiles Confiscated.
 Malt and Molasses Seized

D. J. Can't, supervising federal prohi' biton agent for the gulf division. was in Birmingham yesterday for few hours, en route from New Orleans to his home in Atlanta He stated that SIP illicit dis tilleres4 were seized during the past month in this division and thirty-six au- tomobiles had been confiscated
 "The prohibition agents are working so hard the days are not long enough for us" said Mir Can't, and this division is getting more stills than the others. This is not because there are more illicit dis tilleries here, but because we have such an efficient force. Liquor can still ne bought in some places for s20 a quart, while in the majority of cases 1t is s2o and s3O, and this within itself is pro- hibitive.
 Alabama and Georgia furnish more stills than the other states in the gulf di- vision. We are seizing all black strap molasses and malt we can find, for we consider that contraband. Last week we destroyed two carloads of malt and 800 gallons of molasses.
 q am we'll pleased with the work in Alabama and feel sure that the force in this state will keep it's shoulders to the wheel until every wildcat still is de- stroyed.
 Mir. Can't left yesterday afternoon for Atlanta.
