TAXES zON|NG CASE ! UNDER ADV|SEMENT
Necessity for Specific Law Is Point on Which Situation
 May Hinge

Application of zoning laws to Birming- ham, and their enfOrcement under the general police power. is the issue in- volved in decision in Recorder Henry J. Martins court at o'clock this morning.
 The case in point is that of the city vs. c. P. Dexter, who was arrested Thursday afternoon and tried yesterday morning before Judge Martin. Dexter was charged with violation of city or- dinances establishing a residence Lone bounded by Tenth avenue, south, and Twentieth and Fifteenth streets.
 Richard Blackburne, in charge of con- st-uction work on store being built at Eighteenth street and Tenth avenue, south, by MT. Dexter, was also arrested. His case was not heard yesterday, as it is identical with that of MT. Dex- ter's.
 The case was submitted on an agreed statement of facts by Fred c. Moore. city attorney, and G. R. Harsh, Jr., at torney for MT. Dexter.
 In his argument MT. Moore cited cases in other states where zonihg laws have been sustained, even when taken to tn. United States supreme court He stated that the police power granted to the city is just as broad as the legislature could delegate and that no specific act au- thorizing zoning system is necessary.
 Constitutionality of the zoning ordi--. nance was attacked by Mr.. Harsh. He declared that the general police power could not be delegated, and that it must be specifically delegated in such a case as the zoning ordinance. After the ar guments the case was taken under ad- visement
 The recorder stated, in taking the case under advisement. that he did not think there was any question of the right to establish zoning systems where the city had been granted that particular right by the legislature.
 No further arrests are contemplated until the case has been acted upon.

shoulder behind the wheel and assist the city in fighting this menace. The condition has been treated too lightly too long.
 "The measure is one of conserva- tion, not of destructiveness, as many persons seem to think" said pr. T. D.. Bowling, health officer, yesterday. "The health and safety of human be- ings are threatened by the presence of rabies The lives of valuable dogs gre also at stake with no restrictions on dogs
 "In England where rabies IS un- known except in rare instances, na- tional law passed years ago provides that all dogs be muzzled for a period of six months. The ruling was strict ly observed. The ban is now off, but the menace has been eliminated. So it can be in Birmingham. If the law is faithfully observed. the temporary period of three months may be suffi- cient to check rabies effectively.
 'sSome persons have the im-
 precision that we are going to in-
 vnde their property and kill dogs
 which are confined, but without
 muxxIes. This is not true. We
 will kill no dogs. except those
 which rvn at large without mux-
 xLes. They nre menace to the
 health and snfety of the com
 munity and other animals.
 SLAUGHTER OF DOGS
 We must have the cooperation of every public spirited citizen Those who bemoan what they term a who1e- sale slaughter of dogs must realize that to allow conditions to continue as they are will result in greater harm to the canine population. From a hu- manitarian point of view. it is much better to kill off the worthless ana disease e-infected dog population. The danger is mus removed from both hu> mans and animals.
 We. are going to do our best to make hydrophobia as rare in Birning- ham as yellow fever. Public sentiment behind us will make this result easier of attainment"

SPARKLING LOVE INTRIGUE.

That Clara Kimball Young is a
screen actress whose art attains new
heights with each successive vehicle,
instead of exhausting her versatility
a fact that is sadly true of SO many
other motion-picture stars, is brought
home with telling force in her latest
six-reel production "Straight From
Paris" whose director is Harry Gar
son, and whose author is Sada Cowan,
one of the new feminine screen writ
ers who take their stories out of rea!
flesh-and- blood experience of married
life.
The action Of straight From Paris"
is in tune with its enY.ronment. Set in
the kaiety an dwhirl of high society
life, the plot starts off with bristling
romance in which the cross-current
of human passion and jealousy are
painted to a fault. The story of this
sparkling love intrigue centers about
the adventures of an unassuming mill
liner in the person of Lucette Grenier
the part played to perfection by Miss
Young. Despite her humble calling
she is thrown. by dint of her personal
charm, into the most aristocratic cir
cles of the Partisan salons. and from
that moment magnetizes the atten-
tlons of the grandees of high society.
The thrilling love episodes that pursue
our pretty heroine and their novel de-
velopment form an exciting and scin-
tiliating tale that holds the specta-
tors interest from beginning to end.
This production will be shown at the
Palace Airdome Wednesday night.
