NEW TRAFFIC CODE
 GOES INTO EFFECT:
 OFFICERS LEN|ENT

Wild scrambling, furtive ambling all with the purpose of getting by the traffic officers without call down
 Such was the order of the day under the new traffic code yesterday. Walking by whistle signals was the accepted fashion. Glaring errors and slight ones alike were passed over by the officers in mood of largeness.
 At one downtown corner an old negro nanny was observed trying to cross the street She had progressed about half way across, when the whistle blew. Back she scurried to the sidewalk from which she had lately departed. There she dropped a bundle or so, and by tho time they were recovered, the course Of traffic had again changed.
 Absent minded folks are plentiful in Birmingham. Many persons simply ig- nored the ssmaphore, traffic and every thing forgetting they were in city and lot in a country burg. Mistakes were taken in good part yesterday, however. but will not be condoned with the turn of the week.
 Officers will be stationed at downtown corners for several days, in addition to the semaphore men, to instruct citizens in how to walk across the streets under the provisions of the nav traffic code. For the most part, the public must learn it's own lesson, until arrests be- gin.
