through cooperation with temper ance organizations In other countries. More stringent laws and increased federal and state appropriations were needed, he said, to enable the enforce ment machinery in the United States to function properly.
 The league wor>ers today adopted a program for law enforcement spon- soring the formation of state and county organizations which would give aid to prohibition enforcement officers throughout the country.
 The organization to CO., operate with the state Ant-saloon league would function according to the program in part as follows
 When additional help is needed in the way of legal counsel, or the CO., operation of state and federal off cers to appeal to the state Anti-SalooE league officers, report evidence of law violations to the county commit tee and to the local officers whose duty it is to enforce the law. Ar range for some representative of the organization to attend court trials in important law enforcement cases, Ito offset the bad influence of the wet crowd who hang around court rooms In some places"
 Wait on the prosecuting attorney or the county judge for a conference as to best methods of co operation.
 Encourage Discussion
 Encourage discussion of law en- forcement in young peoples societies, schools, etc.
 Inform citizenship and welfare com mittees in clubs about law enforce ment.
 Call law enforcement headquarters at least weekly to see what Is needed.
 Protest in dignified manner to a judge or other officers who give ridiculously low fines and makes law enforcement a farce
 Right Rev. James Cannon, Jr. of Birmingham, Ala, told the conference that during a recent journey in Mex ico he received appeals for assist anee in the work of making that country dry" He also read several messages from India where William B. (Pussyfoot) Johnson has made a tremendous success,' according to league advices.
 The meeting ordered the following message sent to MT Johnson.
 Fellow league workers greet and pray for you. Assure people of India we ask them to join in the glorious task of liberating whole world from sldNery to aIcohol1c liquor traffic"
 A resolution, which would ask the American government to request Great Britain to stop the liquor traf- fic between the Bahamas and Amer ican coast cities, was referred to the convention of the league here next week. Other resolutions, declaring that anarchy, under whatever guise and whatever it's motive must be sup pressed In the exercise of the right of national self-defense,' and com mending the administration of Pro hibiuon Commissioner Haynes, were adopted tonight.

 We are proud of, him and what he has done."
 The exhibit, which is one of the Art leagues monthly programs, will be open for public enjoyment until December IT from 412 to 5 o'clock each day-and you shouldn't miss it.
 It is exhibits like this-wlth all their whimsical touches and their educational value-which will aid Birmingham eventually to have real art gallery for her people. Also those who have lent things, many times donate copies to their sister cities. Declared Mir. Anderson yes terday: s'We already have a number of pieces that would give 1t start. What we need is the cooperation of all the people,
 Old Designs s The oldest thing in the exhibit Is one of the most colorful. It is a copy of the Buxheim monastery plate, done 24 years before Colum- bus discovered America-in 146S. There is the book plate of Horace Walpole that of the Emperor Maxi milan made in 1870, and that of George Frederick Ernest Albert. Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Connaught's name plate is shown, and one of the most attractive in the whole exhibit is that of Queen Maud of Norway.
 Queen Mary also is represented and the great Gladstone.
 The list would be long if the names of all the engraved prints, etched prints, printed zines and Autographs were given and their generous con- tributors. Only a trip to the Watts building will give this adequate idea.

These name plates are exquisite drawings that fashionable people and those who can afford them have engraved in order to keep people from appropriating their books. Some of them have all kinds of ferocious looking animals upon them, proba- ply with the idea of intimidating vandals.
 When you have name plates made you paste them in the front of the books you own, right on the spot where the old-timers used to scrib- ble ditties like this.
 "Rooger manll get you, don't you
 see,
 If you steal this book from me-,
 That's the reason the booger man is so busy.
 Get your hat and go at once to the Watts bpilding-fourth floor. You will enjoy every one of the hundreds of name plates there, from the ones that modern artists have done back to those made when the monks used to carve them in ancient monster ies.
 All the kings and queens had name plates for their books; and one time Paul Revere, of Revolutionary fame, made one with his own hands. This one is on display.
 o, you haven't had any family to speak of if they haven't had name platesi No, indeed.
 From Everywhere
 There are name plates hanging on. the walls of the Little Art Gallery from places all over the world. There are even some from Mexico Institu- tions of learning from Harvard to- most any school you may name have sent the exhibit. loaned it to the city in the name of art.
 It Is remarkable, it is artistic, 1t Is funny. 1t is sad, it is poetic, it Is colorful. it is ancient in style, it contains every kind of drawing, every kind of script and most of all it represents huge amount of work and worry. It is worth many hundreds of dollars. and you can gel three hours or more enjoyment look ing it over. You can't see it all in less time. r
 It is due to the efforts of one man that this entertaining-and complete display is shown here. That man is Hartley Anderson, who is there at the gallery to give callers the bene- fit of his artistic knowledge: exact descriptions; and his dry wit in con nection with some of the more hu- morous plates. This is not the first time that he has spent weeks and months working for some good cause in and for Birmingham, Modest and unassuming. he always gets out of the way when credit is being given.
 Excellent Showing
 The display is one that any city would be glad to have, and probably as representative an exhibit of the old and the new, the quaint, curious and humorous, as any city ever had. ]. w Donnelly, president Of the Art league, says of Mir. Anderson's work
