WARREN TELLS HOW COCKROACH BECAME
 UTILIZABLE AS A MEMBER OF SOCIETY

goods houses here, and afterwards in cther cities, delegated one or more of their clerks to go into the roach business
 Roach traps were first ordered by the dozen, then by the score and later by the gross. Clerks in the sporting goods houses entered regu- larly into the business as a side line, and now practically all such stores in the southern states keep roach traps and reaches for the benefit of their patron purchasers of s fishing tackles, rods, flies and the like.
 "rhe roach business never flickers. There are never enough reaches. There IS always a demand. They are best in the spring when big and fat. In the sumner they lay eggs and die. Not until late fall is there another crop of large ones.
 Not only bream, but every other fish loves the roach. Bream will rise to roach as trout to fly. They are as good az the cricket was.
 The roach Is found in seed stores. rear of grocery houses and around kitchen sinks wherever 1t Is cool and damp and there Is soft food to eat
 My fathers fondness for fishing led to the establishment of a live, small industry as well as to destruc- ton of a pest"

 All of these cases have been per sonally investigated by members of our committed said Mir. Williams. and we wlll heip as long as our funds last. Many of these people haven't had anything but cornnread r1ade of meal and water and whi;e a1- t even had that.

Col, r. o. Smith chairman, and Jay smith vice chairman. presented the claims of the committee in charge of the emergency relief cam paign. The facts regarding conui- tons among the unemployed in the city limits of Birmingham proved a revelation to the members of the council and the unanimous opinion was that the city of Birmingham should rise to this emergency anc care for the situation without delay.
 In outlining the plans of the
 committee, Colonel Smith showed
 that while the temporary neces-
 sites were being provided for, a
 carefuI survey of each case was
 being made by the Red Cross

 best calculated to aid the needy.
 PauperizatiOn was to be care

 possible moment
 The systematic manner in whicn the committee was planning for the distribution of Che help. giving due regard to the pride of the families now in need. received the commend- alton of the inter club council. The fact was stressed that many of the farilies in need only desired a chance to earn enough for food, and all firms, corporations or individuals having any work of any kind, re- gardless of the nature of it's dura- ton, were urged to send in the facts to the Chamber of Commerce.
 Plans Indorsed

T cannot think of snake story fresh off the bat" said John k. War ren of Warren Bros, crack shot and fisherman. Out 1 can tell you how the cockroach got to be the favorite bait for Dream, first in Birmingham and then throughout the south.
 This is owing to my father, the late Edward Warren, ST, who was very fond of fishing and was a good angler. His favorite bait was the cricket. which is admittedly excel lent. but 1t was difficult to keep a supply on hand. Father always had little negro boys out catching them for him.
 One day while bemoaning the diff ficulty in securing enough crickets. he noticed a big black cockroaeh run- ming across the floor of a store lie took to the idea at once and used reaches with good results. Discover ing their value as fishing bait, father next had Spiro. the stove and tin man. to make a few tin roach traps, and these were placed about our store and in other places
 Friends followed his example More traps were made. Sporting
