British Race Circles
Show Tendency To
Abolish Whip

There is a strong movement in
English racing circles to abolish
the whip. Why are whips neces-
sary? If a horse gives everything
he has in him, why should he be
cut to ribbons because nature
has given out? OF course q
slashing near the finish often
means a stride or two more out
of the poor animals.
If the whip should be abol-
ished it would put all on an
equal basis. Not only that, it
would bring out the jockey with
the best hands, head and knowl-
edge Of pace, and the thorough
bred would be seen at his natural
best regarding gameness and
speed.

A problem faced by Haas ia to secure

team they will play with as each must
continue through the series with the
team with which he plays his first
game.
Half a dozen teams outside the
District line which made applications
to compete have been rejected from
the eligible list. The Mt. Rainier

ter will be settled by Chairman Haas

Announces That Limited Sup- ply Has Been Secured for
 Delivery by Truck

Effective Monday morning w. o. Broyles, the well-known furniture dealer, announces that he will offer a limited amount of lump and nut coal to the people of Birmingham at a newAlow price.
 As appears in an advertisement in another part of today's Age-Herald MT Broyles will offer good, clean lump at $5 ton and good, clean nut" at s4 ton.
 MT. Broyies does not elaim to be making money on this transaction. On the contrary, he distinctly de- clares that he will not make a cent but he is doing it simply to start things again and give employment to large number of miners"
 It is understood that delivery of this coal Is to he made direct from the car coming from the mines to the cellar. In this way the retail yard cost will be obviated, hence the ability to sefl good grade of Walk CT and Cahaba coals at the prices named.
 Samples of the coal will be shown in the windows of the w. O. Broyles Furniture house at 202i-2023 Third avenue.
 Mfr Broyles clearly specifics that the amount is 'limited."

CAVALRY TROOP IS /,
 POORLY SHELTERED
Capt. Carter Calls Attention to Condition That Threat
 ems the Organization

Birmingham's cavalry troop Is so inadequately housed that the com mander. Capt. John c. Carter. is ap- prehensive of it's disintegration.
 The horses are not under proper shelter and there Is lot of modern army equipment for which there is no cover. Captain Carter says $1,200 would cover the expenses of the im- mediate necessities of the troop.
 In letter to the committee, which aided in effecting the recent organ ization of the troop, Captain Carter writes in part as follows;
 Ut is urgently requested that the inclosed letter from the adjutant general be read carefully. It will be noted that in the first paragraph orr ganizations are instructed not to all low uniforms to be carried out of the armory except on authorized drill formations. We have no armory, and there is absolutely no space what ever available for changing clothes. and only packing boxes to keep them in. With the present housing facil- tiles, changing to the uniform at the fairgrounds is out of the question,
  mounted in civilian clothes.
 ."The things that the troop needs, and. must have If 1t continues to func- tion as a troop, consists of the fol- lowing: Supply room, lockers, stalls covered, managers built, fence for cor ral, fire 'extinguishers and funds Tor carpenter labor. The total cost will hot be over s1,200, of which S65O would go to pay for lockers
 "Of course, it is understood that the present quarters are only tempo rary. It is the honest opinion of the undersigned that they will not last over a year, as they are now in the process of falling to decay The fair association is planning to build new quarters, but it is not known now the troop will figure in on this. In casey the troop quarters should De moved to the back of the fairgrounds (which is most desirable), the corral fence could be as easily moved as the lockers and picket line
 Tt is imperative that something be done at once When the first in specting officer comes around he will give the Birmingham troop a mighty bad name. Also. if something Is not done about lockers and dress ing room the men will lose interest when their uniforms are taken in, and the troop will slowly but surely die. The inconvenience will certainly kill the enthusiasm. If the horses are not coveped and feed boxes built in the stalls, the government VIII take. them in, and that would be the fnishing touch"

Enforcement of the milk code will begin as soon as certain legal re- quirements have been met with. Dr. J. D. Bowling. heaSth officer, stated yesterday The health department Is ready to begin checking up dairy men of the district, seeing whether the law is being complied with, he stated.
 The greater portion of dairymen of the Birmingham district have already begun to comply with the new milk regulations, Dr. Bowling stated. A number are too lax in their require ments and safeguards for their milk supply, it is said, and these will be watched by the milk inspectors of the health department.
 The two chief features of the code relate to bulk sales and bacteria count of kilk. Under the agreement between tbe. .dairymen and the health department. through which the milk fight was ended, milk may be sold in
