Sitting about in the chairs of the Jaw Pen at the stable, the gang were whiting cedar sticks and discussing the Einstein theories of relativity about which none of them knew aanything," said Ralph Fies yesterday, when Li.ge Chandler hove in sight and dropped into his accustomed 3 o'clock chair. Someone asked Lige what he thought of Einstein and his theories. Lige grunted and re- sponded. T wouldn't believe darned word that dry cleaner who advertises himself as the Prince of the South said"
 By the way, you should hear some of the very intelligent things that are gotten off during the debates In this Jaw Pen. It was not long ago." continued Ralph, when one of our very handsome merchants, of the Gentle persua- sion took a seat in the circle. We were indulging in the old game of spelling words around the circle. One man started with the first let ter until a complete word of more than one syllable was made. The man supplying the last letter of the word had to contribute two bits to the Boy Scouts fund. When 1t came to our gallant merchants turn to start a word, he promptly endeavored to show his great Bibli- cal knowledge by announcing the

Birmingham fishermen are to or ganize.
 It is about time for the wary ones to begin to bite good now and thoughts naturally turn to fishing and sylvan retreats.
 But> Birmingham's fishermen have very serious purpose in organizing. They want not only to get streams and lakes well stocked with fish, but they want to insure proper protection for those already there.
 A call has been issued to fishermen and sportsmen for 8 meeting at the Jefferson county courthouse next Mon day night. J. H. McCollister stated yesterday that they had sent out for nal notices to about 100 of the well known fishermen of Birmingham, but they are expecting an attendance. of not less than 200.
 Perfect Organization
 In addition to perfecting their or ganization they expect to listen to an address by John H. Wallace, state commissioner of conservation, who has promised to be on hand unless some thing unforeseen prevents.
 Birmingham has great many men who are fond of fishing" said Mr. Mo- Collister yesterday, "and what we need most of all at this time is some sort of central organization. It is impor- tant in getting results of benefit to fish development but 1t is just as inn portant as means of exchanging in- formation and data
 Important Things
 'One of the most important things in fishing is to know where to fish, when to fish and how they are biting. As it is now, there Is no way of get ting this kind of information around among the fishermen. For instance, I returned from Yellow Creek yesterday. The fish are not biting, and there will be no more good fishing at Yellow Creek until we get some rain. If had known that fact before I went, 1t would have been valuable information. and if the information is passed on to others, it may save them a useless trip. On the other hand 1t is important to have central organization where the good fishing points on particular dates may be secured.
 "A sportsmen's organization, such as that proposed, also serves as a means of acquaintance and fellowship and I think, is valuable in many ways There ought to be 1000 members of such an organization in this county and when we once get it started, believe that will be a low estimate of the membership. We hope every man interested in the subject will come to the courthouse Monday and give us the benefit of his advice and suggestions
