SHOULD HAVE SENT
 THEM ID HOSPITAL
pr. Bowling Loses Case and Is Fined Fifty Dollars In
 Prison Matter

Dr. J. D. Bowling, city and county health officer. was fined $50 and costs in two cases yesterday morning by Judge H, B. Abernethy in the Jefferson county court of mlsdemeanors. Notice of ap- peal was filed.
 The health officer was found guilty on charges of false Imprisonment preferred some time ago by Dora Glass and Gladys Hardin. They allege that they were unlawfully confined in the city jail at the instance of Dr. Bowling for exami- nation for suspected social diseases un- der authority of the vice ordinance Of the city.
 While detention of persons suspected of being infected with social diseases Is au- thorized under the city vice ordinance, in the opinion of Judge Abernethy, there is no authority for the confinement of the women in jail without their contin- uing consent where no criminal charge has been preferred against them He held that the proper place for their confine- ment was a hospital or some properly equipped detention home.
 Following habeas corpus proceedings instituted in the circuit court to secure their release, which the court ordered, the court of appeals, to which an appeal was taken, ruled that the ordinance of the city was a valid enactment and con- stitutionaf, but that jails and peniten- tiaries are not the, proper places to con fine such persons against whom no criminal charges are made.

SOUTHERN PINE IS
 HARDER TO OBTAIN

Sales of southern pine at the mills have been quite active during the last two weeks, according to the American I.um herman. Buyers are finding 1t diffi- cult to place orders for some grades. stocks being badly assorted.
 The magazine says:
 Sellers are by no means eager to book business fc- long ahead. because pres ent wholesale prices are in many in stances below the cost of production.
 In the hard wood field. both north and south, the volume of inquiries has in- creased materially, and sales of some grades have picked up. Production Is very low. and stocks arc not up to nor nal. The character of inquiries being submitted indicates that furniture fhc- tories, automobile body builders, farm machinery manufacturers and such in- dustral consumers are looking around for further stocks.
 Taking the country as whole, pro- duction is very low, and even though the total volume of orders is not up to normal for this season, sales since the first of the year have exceeded produc- ton.

 LOCAL FAULT
 AS usual thing when the bills are nigh the trouble is on the premises of the consumer" said Commissioner I. E' Brown, in speaking of MT. Ross investigation and partial report. Some times, however, the trouble is caused by some minor adjustments that should be made in the gas mains These VIII be made as soon as it Is possible and the bills are expected to be much more reasonable as a result. Most of the high bills are due to the large waste at the point of consumption.

ALL SORTS AND
 CONDITIONS OF MEN
BY WILLIAM THOMPSON

A trolley car on the West End line, No. AS, had enough passengers of va rious countries on board to give League of Nations gathering q good race, yes- terday afternoon
 Crowded on the front end were some half dozen or more negroes. Standing ir the isle right behind them was an Italian with seven children who was trying his best to explain to the con- ductor that four of his young flock were under five years of age.
 Right behind them were a number of young and would be young feminine pas sengers and across the isle was a mid dle-aged man who was holding the morn
 ing paper in such an angle that six other passengers were about to break their necks trying to read a streamer across the top of the page.
 On the last seat was a little girl hold ing a young dog in her hands. But the puppy was past the yelling stage for he was stuck in q piece of bread with 2 little mustard on top. Out in the smoker or rather on the hack end of the. car were two Russian jews singing '.Oh. By Jingo,' and keeping time to the tune by chewing on their clgars,

SPECIAL SERMON TO
 TRANSMITS SUNDAY

Dr. Henry M. Edmonds, who has spent the past week over the state speaking in the interest of European relief, will arrive in Birmingham to- day, and will fill his engagement at the Lyric at 7:45 o'clock tomorrow evening with a special message to the sojourners of Birmingham.
 Thousands of invitations have been left in hotels. boarding houses and apartments of the city, inviting those who live in the homes of others to hear this message, especially for them.
 The first Sunday evening of each month pr. Edmonds directs the thought of his sermon to the needs of certain groups of people,
 Appreciation has been expressed by insurance men. clerks. teachers, par -ents and by the public generally for such specialized services in the inter- est of groups, and also for Question night that has proved 50 popular at the Lyric the third Sunday each month.
 Attractive features of the musical programme tomorrow evening will bs the solo that will be rendered by Mrs w. E. Mitchell and selections by the chorus choir.

has found where pipes were choked With naphthaline which had formed at some turning point in the gas main, cutting off the gas from whole neigh borhoods- This occurred on one of the West End mains and was remedied as soon as 1t was discovered. Formation of the naphthaline is not defect in the by-product gas 1t is condition which is apt to arise in either the by product or manufactured gas.
 PLENTY OF HEAT
 ''So far these are the only defects that have been revealed by MT. Ross examination. The report on the gas for February l averaged 562 British thermal units, the esreport for January 31 averaged 563 and for January 23 551 The contract with the Sloss- -Shef- held company reads that the average gas shall average 525 British thermal units, showing that the company is furnishing gas having heating powers averaging from 25 to 90 units better than the contract calls for.
 'The pressure is also shown to be excellent and there is really little else that might be causing the poor service, according to MT. Ross findings There are very few things that might ca use it.
 The amount of gas being furnished to the city will be measured as soon as facilities for the measuring can be installed. Mir. Ross report will then be completed"

BIRMINGHAM M [ N

Chamber of Commerce Direct ors Meet and Start Work. Line Is of Importance to
 This District

The Birmingham Chamber of Commerce has entered a strong protest to the United States Railway Labor board against any such action as will discontinue the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic rail- road.
 This railroad serves 1.0oo,o0o employs 1000 men. Prospect of its abandonment on account of financial difficulties has aroused the civic bodies and people along the line in the states of Alabama and Georgia and from over all this territory an appeal is being made to save the road.
 The road is now losing s1.ooo, 900 per annum, a deficit which the presi- dent, D. L. Bugg, insists that labor shall bear by standing reduction of one-half of the raises made since 1917.
 Copies of the Chamber of Commerce resolution were sent to the governor emu " thC iapoi bOdI anu Ai6p congressman and senators will be asked to intervene. The resolutions adopted by the chamber reads:
 Whereas, at a hearing before the Railway Labor board in Chicago on January 25, the question was raised as to whether or not the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic railway was of sufficient value as public servant to justify its continuance, and
 Whereas. the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway has afforded a new and direct route from Birming- ham to south Georgia. including the port of Brunswick and has opened a new trade territory to the merchants in Birmingham; has increased agricul- tural mineral and manufacturing de- velopments through virgin territory, thus increasing the supply of raw ma terial. lumber and farm products for Birmingham consumption, and
 Whereas, the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway has been an i'm portant factor in the transport.tson and business life of Birmingham and Is valuable asset to the Birmingham district, and to the territory served by it, both as consumer of the pro- ducts of the mines, mills and factories Of this district as well Jas affording means of reaching markets which oth- erwise cannot be reached;
 Therefore. be 1t resolved, by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. the membership of which is represen- tative of the business and commercial interests of Birmingham, that the con- tinued operation of the Atlanta, Bn,- mingham and Atlantic railway is of vital importance to the people of the Birmingham district, it's merchants, factories. furnaces and mines, and that its dismemberment would work untold injury upon this entire section, and
 Be it further resolved, that the Bir- mlngham Chamber of Commerce pro- tests strongly against any action which would injyre the operation of this rail : way and petitions the Railway Labor board to take prompt steps to prevent the irreparable damage which would be done"

 While those in Birmingham are doing their part, those Magic City residents who are away from nome also are giving their share toward saving lives. Many men sent in sl00 checks for the Hoover kitchen dinner, designating persons at home to go as their guests State Chairman Erskine Ramsay yester- day afternoon received a telegram from Mrs. R. M. Goodall who is visiting in Atlanta. stating that she will donate $10O toward the cause.
 And so working and striving for every available penny to keep life in starved little bodies, the relief workers are doing their utmost to build Birmingham contribution : up and up, until a splendid figure is reached and many hundreds of starving children may thank the Magic City for the gift of their lives.

What They Think
By BILL HAYES

The question was: What is your opinion. of the decision handed down by the supreme court in the good roads bond issue case?
 Where asked: At the Louisville and Nashville passenger station.
 The answers were:
 Edgar c. Waters, roofer, Gads- den:
 ..That is one of the most serious things that has happened in Ala bama in years. I hardly know what to think of it. I'm for the good roads and the bond issue, though"
 Robert Simmons, machinist. Louisville and Nashville railroad.
 "The state certainly needs the good roads and it's going to be . pretty hard blow it we have to let loose of that $5,000,jio the federal government was going to give us for that purpose"
 Ella M. Moore. railroad clerR, Dian apartments:
 Tt castainly is hard on the pec- ple who have devoted so many years to trying for the advance ment of public welfare along that line-and I think it is public well fare. The court might reconsider.'
 Mrs. P. N. Rush, 1928 Fifteenth avenue;
 NO state needs good rcads more than this ono, and 0an't see why such a decision Dhould ever. be arrived at by the Apreme court. If the people get . chance to vote on the amend mont, they will put 1t through"
 Carl F. Lyman. farm hand, rural route No. 6:
 You've only got to drive over scme of Alabama's roads to know just what that decision means. Why 1t is awful hard on the farmers who had pinned hopes on getting better crop transporting .facilities.''
