APPEALS DECISION
 OF JUVENILE COURT
Question Relative To Children Convicted of Crime To
 Be Heard

Whether or not the chancery courts Jurisdiction can be invoked to inter- fere in the custody of a minor who has been committed to penal insti- tuition as a result of criminal charge is the question to be decided by the appeal of Magnolia Patterson 15-yesr- old negro girl, who was recently com mitted to the parental school by Judge Murphy in juvenile court, after the case had been removed there from the criminal court on petition of the de- fendant
 An appeal from the refusal of the juvenile court to suspend the judg- ment committing the girl to the par ental school until she Is of age has been filed In the circuit court, and tho papers and proceedings turned over to that court for further action. Judge Dan A. Greene, presiding judge of the circuit court, will be asked to decide whether the proceedings are properly filed In the chancery divt- sion or whether they should be filed in the criminal division, from which the case originated, Hunter Arm- strong stated yesterday.
 According to the records in the case. the Patterson girl was arrested August 29 on & charge of murder for the alleged staying of a girl com panion, Mary Lee McCarroll, in Ens- ley, by shooting her with a shotgun and was subsequently indicted on 8 charge of murder in the second de- gree by the grand jury. When the case was called for trial she pre- scented q petition alleging that she was under Is years of age and asking that the case be turned over to the juvenile court for further proceed ings. In that court Judge Murphy committed her to the parental school until such time as shs should come of age. Notice of appeal to the circuit court was given and a jury trial demanded when tho case comes for trial.
 According to tho register in chan- cery. the only jur.Tdiction the chan- cery court could have would be on 8 matter of custody. and it is ques- ton whether or not under the cir- cumstances there Is any Jurisdiction at all In chancery.

RATHENAU COVERS
 WITH THE ENGLISH FINANCIAL CHIEFS.
Suggested That Germany May Pay Preparations in German Products-EngIish Pub-
 lie Approves
By Associated Press

London, December 1.-Dr. Walter Rathenau, the former German min ister of reconstruction, who is here in connection with German repara- tions, continued today private con- ferences with officials and bankers. Thus far the public has been obliged to be content with speculation over the form of help for Germany which is under discussion will take, while French newspapers, apparently are greatly disturbed that such negotia- tions are proceeding between Great Britain and Germans semi official representative, with France outside the secrets of the council.
 Sir John Bradbury, the British member of the separations commits sion, has issued denial in Paris that he recommended a moratorium, to the British government. That however, in no wise excludes the possibility of a moratorium being considered.
 Reports in the British press declare Dr. Rathenau Is trying to raise British loan to float Germany over the payment of the January instalt- ment on the reparations account.
 Some newspapers discuss the pos sibility of scheme for German pay ments to Great Britain in commoui- . ties such as chemicals, dyestuffs and potash. which are particularly Ger man products. Any suggestion that Germany will be permitted to pay any thing on account Tn goods which would compete with British manu- facturers and throw British workmon out of employment is considered out of the question.
 "A significant fact is that Herr Rathenau's mission is referred to calmly even to large extent approV- ingly. Probably year ago the pres ence of a German emissary Tn Eng land for the purpose of obtaining any Tightening of the German financial obligations toward the allies would have raised storm.
 The present temper of the public illustrates the change that has come over popular feeling and policy on these questions Another illustration is that Winston Spencer Churchills s speeches advocating a better under standing with Germany have been taken as a matter of course, The re- mort that the British member of the reparations commission was advocat- ing to his own government a mora ltorium for Germany while the com mission has decided that Germany must pay her January liabilities, add ed another item to the sum of the grievances the Paris newspapers are scoring against the British, and the suggestion is being urged on both sides of the channel that if MT. Lloyd George goes to Washington he should before sailing have plain talk with the French premier, M. Briand, over the differences which apparently nave arisen.

GROWERS CLAIM FRUIT IRIPENED ON TREE IS 1 MUCH BETTER GRADE

Oranges and grapefruit from Flori- ha gathered only after the fruit has ripened on the trees, insuring more than usual palatability and an extra nuantity of juice as compared with fruit picked green. has appeared on the Birmingham market, according to Announcement by fruit men yester- day.
 These oranges and grapefruit, rep resenting the best products of the Florida fruit growers, are packed and shipped by the Florida Citrus ex- change and sold under their trade name, "Sealdsweet"
 The purpose of the adoption of this trade name by the fruit growers or ganization in Florida, in addition to the end-Served in distinguishing their product from fruit picked green. or that grown under other conditionsl than those by which their oranges and grapefruit are produced, is that of maintaining stability in the market by insuring a uniform price.
 The Florida citrus exchange Is so organized that speculation in the fruit, with consequent increase in prices to the consumer is rendered impossible. The stabilizing of the re- tail price of the fruit by insuring It's delivery to retailers at moderate cost and consequent maintenance of de- pendability of market demand, has re- suited, it is declared. in such a smoothly operating system of distri- button that Florida fruit growers are able to produce their fruit with con- fidence in marketing conditions than would otherwise be possible.
 All fruit produced by members of the Florida Citrus exchange must, by the terms of membership. be gath cred and prepared for marketing in accordance with wel1-defined stand ards, fixed by the directors of the ex- change. Among other rulings of the1 exchange, 1t has been set forth that no fruit upon which there are cuts or bruises may be packed for sale under fha trade name "Saaldsweaf

PROTESTS AGAINST BREAKERs

In a letter received by w. B. Cloe, commissioner of public safety. yes terday Henry M. Goldstein protested against the speed breakers in the pavement on Tuscaloosa avenue He declared that the city had laws re- garding speeding and that they should be enforced. These proposed speed breakers can only be looked upon by the world as monument of the city's inability to enforce the laws, he declared and other cities do not place speed breakers on their most prominent streets, so why should Birmingham?
 He points to the fact that doctors, ambulances and fire apparatus have to traverse Tuscaloosa avenue some ! time at a high rate of speed to save life and property, and hazardous ob- structions should not be placed in the streets for this reason alone.

He is as tall as either one of them. is much heavier than Bryan and is speed specialist on the floor as well as being an artist on ringing goals and keeping the other man from ringing them. Holt got hls experience at the University of Colo rado, and if he performs as good as he has played in the past he should make the club valuable man.
 Jerry Thcmas is looking mighty good and if he keeps on like he Is going he should make the competi- tion for forward more than inter- esting. Thomas played with the Y . M. c. A. in the city league last year and he had a good year. being rated among the best forwards in the league. Mandy. Montgomery, Ken nedy and Stapleton are also looking good of late. and any one of them is liable to show the old men thing or two about. playing forward this year.
 Trent and Baugean are the new corners at guard and both of them are looking mighty good. Trent Is an- other ex-city leaguer and if he per forms up to standard he should do some mighty good playing for the B. A. c.
 Coach Erwin has another good man by the name of Booth, but he has been showing such varied assort- ment of stuff that 1t Is hard to say whether or not he Is best suited at guard. forward or center However. if he should be put at either position he ought to make a good man. if his recent work Is any sample of wha: he can do all of tNe time.
 Coach Erwin is another newcomer in local basketball, and he also looks good from the start. He got his ex- perience at Drake university and then took shot at all sorts of army ath- letics until he has head full of tricks for all kinds of games. He

 Three Veteran Forwards
 Bill Moughon, Gillie Chisholm and Bill Moore are the only three yet eran forwards in the camp, but all of the boys are in fine shape and are looking forward to q great sea- son. Moughon has played two years on the regular team, during which time he has not only played great game on the offensive but has also distinguished himself as great de- fensive player. Gillie Chisholm and Bill Moore have only played one year. but have proved themselves capable players in every phase of the game
 Laughinghouse, Smith, Shugerman and Scholder gre the old guards back again with the team. All of these boys are good, and the work of this trio was great last year.
 Laughinghouse was one of the most dependable men on the whole team, and the B. A. c. has not had a man on the team in many seasons who has shown the defensive ability of this boy. He is a fast man that always keeps on top of his opponent. Smith and Shugerman alternated at the other guard last season, and both of them put up such good game that it is a hard proposition to say which one of them was the best man for the place. Both of them are in fine shape for the season and are counting on the best year that they have ever made.
 Many New Men
 The most noticeable of the new men out for the team are Holt, Mandy, Montgomery. Thomas Booth, Trent, Stapleton, Kennedy and Bau- geau. Holt is a man who will prob- ably give Baker and Bryan the fight

G PRINGTIME this year finds its en-
~ trancing millinery in a gay and
sportive mood, with strictly feminine
ideas expressed in hats that refuse
to be severely plain--no matter what
their mission may be. This is a broad
and general summing up Of the char
acter of spring hats-to be taken with
a few reservations 1t is true that
everything that will bear decorating,
is decorated. There is a return to
flowers, fruits lace, foliage ribbons
and even jewels, and added to these
all the new shiny fabrics and glitter
ing braids that lend so much sparkle
to headwear Nevertheless hats are
beautiful, and there is much yelling
Of them with lace or wells.
In the group Of hats for spring
shown here there are two dress hats,
one demidress and one street hat that
may be taken as crlterions. None of
them is extreme in style, and there
fore, all Of them are practical; they
entitIe their wearers to feel well
dressed. The hat at the upper left of
the group has a soft crown Of "candy"
cloth, fabric that has very high
Iuster, and an upturned brim covered
with flowers The flower brim Is
yelled with black chantilly lace. which
falls below the eyes and makes bow
