Unless police officers have a search warrant they cannot enter home and make an arrest, according to 8 ruling yesterday of Judge H. P. Heflin in the criminal division of the circuit court.
 This decision was handed down lyesterday in the case of M R. Will son and J. c. Howell, policemen, who were tried several days ago on a charge of trespass after warning.

Is011 Sec ond avenue. several months ago.s
 Judge Heflin stated that he was certain the officers did not mean to violate the law, but overstepped Iltbeir bounds. It Is most unfortunate, he declared, but the officers must know the law and conduct themselves accordingly.
 Tom Rowe, who represented tho police officers, maintained that the men made the arrest after they were called to the rooming house on Sec ond avenue, where they found a man bleeding profusely. According to their testimony. when they asked him who assaulted him he pointed to the next room. The officers went to Licettes room, and when he re- fused to admit them they are alleged to have broken the door down and to have entered. He ordered them to leave his room, and when they failed to do sc charge of trespass after warning was lodged against them.

GHOSTS ID WALK
 HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Boy, page Sir Oliver Lodge! Or. if he can't be located, get Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, or anyone else who is on speaking terms with the family of ghosts. This includes sprites, ghouls. goblins. witches, vampires. ogres and plain "hants.'
 If any of the above personages are found they should be notified, that they will have an opportunity to get in direct touch with almost any mem Der of the ghost family right here in Birmingham Monday night.
 Because on Halloween night the ghost will walk Irrespective of per son, place ranything. these sombre individuals will trod the highways and byways of this happy city. and woe be to the late shopper whose path crosses that of these aspirants of spiritualistic attainments,
 There must be some sort of dif- ference between ghosts, because the unsuspecting public will find that up to about 9:30 o'clock their coat tails will be tagged by little "bitty' ghosts and up to about 10:30 the me dium- sized ghosts will have sway but after that ~the great ghosts, the big, rowdy ones. will reign. Then will come the period of bell ringing and banging on doorsteps with sew eral unearthly ghoul calls thrown in to boot.
 But, please. dear public, do not dis close your ignorance by asking: How -come?' because all of the elect are these days communicating with the hazy. transparent beings of the mid dle ages. And you should feel sig nally honored when one of the mem bers of the ghost family drops around to your house, because yo, know they're supposed to have such temperamental ways, so you should excuse them. for who knows but wha' you might be entertaining the Queen of Sheba looking for old King Sol or the headless horseman searching for his long-lost cranium. Or. as g last shot, King Art himself, looking for his table round.

py LENA FAYE BAILEY

Birmingham's new commissioners are very soon to take office. In fact they will roll up their sleeves and buckle down to work Monday week.
 Their going into office interests every man, woman and child in the district, and in fact the state.
 Interest particularly centers in the work of the first woman city com missioner, Mrs. Mary D. Echols.
 A large Humber of ehterprising Birmingham women were asked this question::
 What would be the first thing you would do If you had been elected city commissioner?
 Their replies concerned everything from garbage to an almost unani- nous approval of more and better .playgrounds for the city
 Said Mrs. Scale Harris;
 Ut sort of takes my breath away to think of a Job like that. But if were commissioner l would clean up the alleys first of all. I would have all garbage carried away at least every other day.~I would build bigger and better pMgrounds, for the children, and more of them. We are building manhood and woman hood when We give our children every advantage for recreation.
 Mrs. T. L. S. Basore was more in- terested in lighting up the residen- tial part of the city than anything else.
 This would tend to keep down crime or the suggestion of crime would give more cheerful appear ance to the streets and prevent acci- dents.
 Better garbage service would be my first care" said Mrs. Houston Davis.
 Also I would not allow empty gar bage cans to be left on the front lawns as decorations"
 Right with her in sentiment is Mrs Maurice Lenk. president of the Coun- ell of Jewish Women.
 T would see that better garbage service Is rendered at once. Also would certainly see that there was a playground for colored children where they can be taught how to play openly and decently."

CO- OPERATION OF WOMEN CLUBS AND LEAGUE OF VOTERS
Joint Letter of Presidents of Women's Organizations of Unusual lntereSt-LoCal
 League to Meet
By MRS. RICHARD F. JOHNSTON


 A letter of interest to the Federation of Womens Clubs and the League of Women Voters has recently been sent from Headquarters of both organiza- tons signed by Mrs. Thomas c. Win ter, president of the General Fedora tion of Women's Clubs, and the Ma tional league, President Mrs. Maud Wood Park. It reads as follows; There are before us at this time so many important issues that it is even more than usually wastefui of strength for women agreeing upon great issues not to get the full force to be derived from cooperation.
 The General Federation of Wom- en's Clubs and tho National League of Women Voters are both organixa- tions of progressive women interest ed in the right development and the right conservation of our country's resources They are both organized In each one of the 4s states they are both supporting certain state and federal legislation, In many instances the same bills.
 "It Is to be regretted that there are a few individuals here and there who see in these facts reasons for friction and complaints of duplication of eff fort And 1t is a matter for rejoic- ing that these few persons represent an iufnltesimal percentage of the . interested women. Obviously since the work of the general federation is primarily sociological and educa- tional, and the work of the league concerns itself with women voting citizens, there is A good and suffi- cient reason for cooperation instead of discord
 These differences arc in emphasis only, and not in sharp distinction. The federation has always done leg islative work, and tho league is do- ing educational work; but the over tapping should be used to promote mutual strength and understanding. never rivalry or antagonism.
 "It Is with great pleasure, there fore, that we, the national presidents sof these two organizations, announce to our auxiliary members our mu- tuaI understanding of the value of both organizations and our earnest desire that the most cordial relations of cooperation shall exist between all state and local branches and the members in general of the Fedora ton of women's Clubs and the League of Women Voters, to the end that the work in which we are all interested may go forward with the least possible waste of effort.
 "Trusting that you may make this clear to all your local groups, we are faithfully yours,
 ALICE AbfES WINTER, 'tPresident General Federation
 Women's Clubs.
 MAUD WOOD PARK, "President National League of Wom-
 en Voters.".

 On he City Commission

Mrs H. F. Pierce would begin her work at the city hall She says;
 T would fumigate it, and then go up to the courthouse and do the same thing there. I would have the cuspi- dors kept clean in all public build ings Also I would put up names of the short streets, and their num- bers, leading off from Highland ave- nue. Strangers, or those unfamiliar with the district, are constantly get ting lost"
 One woman says, Prices for laun dry work and washing are too high, especially when soap and labor has been reduced"
 Another woman cries:
 Clean up the filthy alleys! "where poor white people and colored folk 1.-Two on some streets is awful
 Still another says:
 Relieve me, I would stop this parking of cars with spooning cou ples in them in the city limits. would allow more police for this pur- pose"
 Mrs. S. A. Middleton is very much interested in better playgrounds and more of them.
 If I were a city commissioner, WOulQ CO-OptTdlG to lll6 lullSSl oA- tent with the school improvement as sociations and do all I could in build ing better playgrounds and one H. every neighborhood. I would give them more equipment. I would also see about helping to provide nour- ishing lunches to the children who cannot get good food at home" Mrs. R. F.
