TWENTY-TWO FINED. FOR VIOLATION OF. FOOD ORDINANCE.
Judge Martin States There Can Be No MisunderStand- ing of the Wording of
 the Law

Twenty-two proprietors of Bir- mingham markets, fruit stands and small groceries were fined $50 each in recorders court yesterday aft ernoon by Judge Henry J. Martin on charges of violating the city health laws. All were warned to get their merchandise behind screens which will offer protection against flies and dust, as provided in the city code. Notice of appeal to the circuit court was given by Alex Birch, who appeared as counsel for all defendants.
 l In rendering his verdict, which was made a blanket one through agree ment by counsel for both sides, Judge Martin declared there could be no misunderstanding of the wording of the law
 The law says food must be kept l in doors behind wire screens" said Judge Martin. These men must screen their places of business and keep the products offered for sale l bShlhu uOoTSs openings must pc screened properly to keep flies and dust out in an cffectual manner. In my opinion, that word should be construted as meaning all that is 1 humanly possible to do"
 Forced to Quit | Judge Birch declared 75 per cent | of his clients would be forced to quit their businesses if the law was enforced, He asserted that 1t wos physical impossibility to put any such measure into working effect with out disastrous effect upon the busi- ness of the men whom he represented and others with similar businesses. George Lewis Bailes, assistant city attorney, represented the city in the argument, He based his attack on sections of the city code, which pro- hibits the sale of food which has been exposed to flies, dust or yer min, and that all doors, windows and openings must be screened. Judge Birch in his argument scored the press for carrying on propaganda for an unreasonable requirement and asked that the rule of reason be ap- piled. He said the sections used by Mir. Bailes were years old, and that the law could be construed in various ways
 Should Begin at Home
 MT. Birch declared the city should begin at home and clean up the city dump before attempting to clean up fruit stands and markets, where the law was being violated because 1t could not be reasonably enforced
 ''I realize I am flying in the face of public opinion worked up by the city and county health officer, and the public press" said MT. Birch. This fact will remain, however. The stores of Birmingham will compare favor ably in cleanliness with those of any other city in the United States.
 Those fined yesterday afternoon were: T. D. Andon, M Alfono, Joe Calagono, Frank Madonia, $. E. Wa kos, Harry Norris, Joe Piezzo, G. Cowdy, Frank Rietta, H. Shugerman, Toeny Tronoki G. Argeras, J. c. Bro- cato, S, A. Cyphalu, Jim Cassimus, D. P. Cassimus, s. J. Cassimus, J. J. Likis. x. J. Hagiestraton, K. D. Likis and John Papageorge.
 Vigorous prosecution of all viola tions of the law will be started im- mediate1y by the health department, which was waiting for the outcome of these cases Four men are now working on these laws, and will ar rest all violators.

"It then occurred to me to sug- gest to her thnt she and other Birmingham housewives with boys coming on could make no better preparation for usher ing them into business life than by creating jobs in Birmingham through the purchase and use of Birmingham products that were just ns good. and often better, thnn the outside product. Busy factories create jobs.
