UNLIMITED J|TNEYS
 MAY BE RESTRICTED
Civitans and KiWanis Backing Move of Commissioner
 BurruSS

Adeauate restrictions for jitneys and taxis operating in the city will be Included in an ordinance to regulate such vehicles to be introduced at an early meeting of the city board by Commissioner H. P. Burruss.
 Contemplation or such measure by MT. Burruss has led to conferences with the legal department, with the result so far, that the board will be given an opportunity to vote on the proposition as soon as a suitable ordi- nance can be drafted.
 Endorsement of Mir. Burruss' stand by the Civilians came yesterday after noon when the members of the club adopted a resolution supporting the plan and asking that the matter be brought up at the next meeting of the city commission. A copy was sent to Commissioner Burruss. Similar action was taken by the Kiwanis club at it's meeting Tuesday.
 The resolut tion sets forth that the constant increase in the taxi and jit- ney service is recognized, and that the plan to require a good and sufficient bond as advocated by Mir. Burruss is excellent for solution of the problem.
 The majority of jitney operators are financially irrespons the resolution declares, due to operating without any or adequate insurance. The alternative of insurance or bond is suggested in the resolution.
 Approval of the plan to regulate the | jitneys is being urged as matter of public safety. It is pointed out that practically all cars operated represent ithe only asset of the operator or the fmani he is driving for. | Introduction of such an ordinance may occur at the Tuesday meeting oi the commission.

will unquestionably result from faithful practice of this suggestion"
 Dr. c. W. Shropshire president of the international Association of Civitan Clubs, has sent copies of the resolution passed by the Birmingham Civitan club to clubs from Baltimore to Miami, Fla. and west to Port Arthur. Tex.
 Such a practical idea will be seized upon by all members of our organ ization. I feel sure" said Dr. Shrop- shire. Not only should individuals buy, but all corporations should lay in as large a supply of coal as possi-- ble at this time The specter of de- time if we act without holding back in the least"
 RICHARD W. MASSEY T am in accord with pr. Gewin's idea of having the people of Birmingh gham buy their next winters supply. of coal during the summer months so as to give the miners something to do," said Richard W. Massey yesterday.
 An idle brain is the devils work i shop" holds true today, and if the peo- | pie of Birmingham get behind the movement the same as they did dur l ing several of the drives during the war, then 1t will be success.
 Many of the miners, judging from their actions and statements, do not de- serve the sympathy of the public, yet it is for the interest and the progress siveness of the state that they must be given work in the mines.'' | HUGO MARK
 Hugo Marx, banker, stated that he thought pr. Gewin's suggestion was an excellent one, and that he thought the people of Birmingham should buy coal this summer in order that tho mfaers may work.
 If the price of coal Is reasonable the idea, if carried out, should benefit the operators, the miners and last but not least, the dear public, The sale of coal is always slack in the summer time. and the coal strike has not hurt the coal operators business very much because of the warm weather"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-04-09

IL was pointed out Dy LIT. GeWIn bnAe not only the miners would benefit by getting their jobs back, the operators by selling coal during their slack season, but the public would be able to buy coal at prices $1 to B below the pre- vailing fall and winter scale.
 Cheaper coal, better and more settled labor conditions and business for the railroads, which are now facing a criti- cal situation, will result from this move ment," Dr. Gewin declared.
 Unanimous indorsement of pr. Gewin's s suggestion came from the Civitan club. which ramed a committee. composed of Dr. Gewin, John H. Frye and pr. c. w. Shropshire, to confer with representa- tives of the other. civic organizations. Such action would open the mines, l quiet the unrest in the district and start thousands of miners back to work, so that they could provide a living for their families, Dr. Gewin said. He urged the advertising of the campaign in other cities through letters to friends, rela- tives and business acquaintances
 PLAN FOR ALL ALABAMA | All towns in Alabama are urged to adopt this plan, cutting down their price for coal and effecting a saving in this manner. To buy now, forgetting the strike, is the best plan, Dr. Gewin said.
 "I will start the ball rolling" declared Dr. Gewin. T will give an order for eight carloads of coal for my infirmary tomorrow ta
 CITIZEN INDORSE IDEA Endorsement of the move was voiced by citizens unhestatingly. The idea was approved as a good solution of present problems, in considerable measure al least.
 There is no doubt but what the prob lem now confronting the district will be solved in goodly portion by the hearty cooperation of every citizen in carrying out this plan" declared John H. Frye, president of the Traders Ma tional bank "Elimination of the stag nant business condition now existing

WILDCAT NOT STILL,
 OFFICER TESTIFIES

Ellis Parker Buffers statement that pigs is pigs" does not apply to wild cats, for there are wildcats and other wildcats, as prohibition officer op- erating in the mountains of Shelby county will vociferously testify.
 Two travelling men in an automobile caught a wildcat the animal kind) near Wilton. Planning to make a pet of the animal, the men placed 1t in the compartment at the rear Of the car, roadster.
 As they were driving along toward Birmingham an officer hailed the car. They stopped. He asked that he be allowed to search the car. The men dissented, one remarking in a tone just loud enough for the officer to hear:
 Better go on. he'll get our wild cat"
 Of course, this was an incentive for any conscientious law enforcer to act on.
 The officer stepped to the rear Of the car, raised the cover of the com. partment and peered m. GA long in- terval comes here, representing the dust and confusion during about io nhinutes.)

Baseball.

Baseball news this past week has
been both good and bad. Last Thurs
day the Stars locked horns with the
team from Union City and put the
kibosh to them to the tune of 8 to 0.
But on Friday the team from Nc
Kenzie came romping in on our boys
and when the smoke of battle cleared
away the score board showed Is to 8
in favor of Mckenzie. The only way
to account for this lopsided defeat is
that our boys quit before they began.
1t looked as though they were af-
fected with stage fright The way
to win ball games is to know nothing
of the other team but to go after
them all olike and with the determi-
nation to win from big ones or little
ones.
Wednesday of this week Kenton
came over AMI played our boys a good
game but lost it by the score of 8 to
To-day the Stars play Mckenzie
again and it is hoped the boys will
keep their nerve and put up better
game.-Obion County Enterprise.
