The feeling of disappointment
today. after the revised returns

Women won't vote for women.
Women's won patronize women in
business. Women won't go to
women doctors. Women won't take
their cases to women lawyers.
And this is, the year 1922. The
women Of the United States have
deluded themselves into thinking
they are politically advanced. when
they really are far behind the
women of the rest Of the world.
The proud British parliament still
has two women on its roll and the

Health Expert Praises
Tuberculdr Campaign

Tuberculosis work IN Alabama was
praised by DR. w. X. Sharpe, Jr.. of
the United States public health SER
vice, who was in Birmingham Tues
day.
Il consider the voluntary organ
izations doing tuberculosis work in
Alabama as being the most valuable
adiuncts TO the constituted health
authorities" said DIR. Sharpe. II also
believe that the estimate concerning
the number of tuberculosis cases in
Alabama is indeed conservative"
DR.. Sharpe declared that the whole
program of public health in Alabama
is going forward by great strides.
Although his headquarters are in
washington, DIR. Sharpe has been IN
Alabama for several weeks, acting is
organizer and supervisor OF county
health units. He has been in public
health work for many years and has
studied methods of preventing spread
of disease.
Il am now located In Florence"
said Dr. Sharpe, "and want to say
that the Tennessee valley counties
that have health units are ire
mendously active in their efforts to
make the Christmas seal sale a sue
cess If the people over the state
respond generously to the appeals of
this work by purchasing Christmas
seals, we shall see Alabama go for
ward as never before in her educa-
tional program for preventing the
spread of tuberculosis"

JUDGE DISMISSES CASE
BECAUSE MEANING /0F
WORD IN INDICTMENT

Judge Ben d. Turner, special Judge
holding court in Jefferson county, in
an extraordinary opinion handed
down Tuesday held that there was a
great difference in the use of the
word corporation" and that as
result CT a variance in the proof in
the case and the Indictment returned
by the grand jury, centering around
the word, prosecution was dismissed
in the case OF Richard Hogan and
new indictment was ordered to
amend the defect.
Hogan was alleged In the indict-
ment to have stolen an automobile
from the Drive-a- Ford Taxicab com
pany, corporation, while in the evil
dence against the defendant by A.
r. Langley, representing the firm
the car was stolen from the Driye-a-
Ford Taxicab company, Incorporated.
The opinion of Judge Turner:
There is variance between the
allegation and the proof in the case
in that the indictment AYERS the
ownership of the property stolen was
the Drive-a- Ford Taxlcab company.
a corporation, whereas the proof
showed that said property was that
of the Drive-a-Ford Taxicab COM
pany, Incorporated. The court holds
that there is variance and the de-
PENDANT attorney in open court ad-
mitted there is a variance but refused
to consent to the Indictment being
amended to cure the variance. There
fore prosecution in the case Is dis
missed before the jury retires and
another indictment ordered against
the defendant"
Hogan was placed under a bond Ct
$500 for his appearance in court to
answer to the charges preferred in
the new indictment.

TIRE statesmen ON
ROLLER SKATES TO-
SERVE CUSTOMERS

With every salesman moving over
the broad floors on roller skates, the
EIghtyone Tire company opened its
new home at Avenue Z and Twenty
first street Tuesday with demon
stration on the part of friends and
the general public rarely surpassed
in business circles. From the time
the doors were opened at seven
o'clock in the morning until late
hour at night the crowds came sing
ly, in pats, by the dozen, and in
every combination of numbers until
the total who visited the new tire
home ran into many thousands.
The history of the Isl" Tire COM
pany is such a history as can only
be made in America, where young
men may dream, and with hard work
may within a few years make their
dreams come true. No one knows
what Truman Morrison and Hunter
Watkins dreamed three years ago
when they formed partnership and
went into the business of tire sales
and service. 1t is safe to say that
they could never have held a more
fantastic vision than the one that
was real Tuesday when business
friends. social friends, and the city
of Birmingham in general Joined in
extending to them the best wishes
of public that appreciates service,
and the pride that is felt when ma
terial success comes to those who
serve the needs of a buying public.
Tho sales and service room looked
1ttxa n cia hnnfh n n worlds fair
There were flowers everywhere.
Music was furnished by the Original
Melody s. and this "happy: snappy"
orchestra has never played to a more
appreciative group than the one
which was ever present. and ever
dancing. Flowers were sent by
numerous business concerns Flags
were entwined about the building
and the entire scene was one that
would have done justice to holt
day celebration. But 1t was not
holiday by any means. The roller
skate statesmen. an unprecedented
feature. were kept busy throughout
the day making sales to eager GUS
toners.
I'VE are gratified beyond words
to describe our feelings" said Tru-
man Morrison Our friends have
been so very kind to us that we feel
obligated to say something as a mat
ter of appreciation, but we can't. We
know that it has been done in the
spirit that true friends always show
We can only say, Welcome to our
home. and may you always carry
with you the conviction that we are
glad you came to visit u.s.
The wholesale and retail Depart
ments will be consolidated in the new
building. which will be headquarters
for all the branches in this and other
states.

JIM SMITH Still
AF TER v|OLATORS
BY |NJUNCTIONS
Tony Thompson Called to
Show Why Place Should
Not Be Declared
Nuisance

Striking a second blow in as many
days, Jim C. Smith, assistant United
States district attorney, carried his
fight against Birmingham liquor
violators into the camp of the enemy
Tuesday afternoon when he served
notices In person on Tony Thompson,
20i2 Fourth avenue, north, THAT a
petition would be heard in federal
court December s, requesting that
Thompson's place OF business be de-
clared a public nuisance. and that
Thompson, together with Louis
pobbs. negro, be enjoined from
violating the national prohibition law.
This action comes close on the
heels of a similar petition filed Mon
day afternoon against the Cypress
Dry Cleaning company, also of 20f2
Fourth avenue. north, in which jos
Pamplin were cited in the bill of
complaint.
The building at 2012 Fourth ave-
nue. contains both Thompson's place
of business and the dry cleaning es-
tablishment. a partition separating
the two rooms. The bill of complaint
states that there Is a common en-
trance to the rooms at the rear, and
that common knowledge is held
among the occupants as to operations
on the premises.
Attached to the bill of complaint
as filed by the assistant district at
torney are a number of affidavits
in which are contained specific
charges of violations of the prohibit
ton law These charge that prohl-
billion officials have seized the fol-
lowing quantities of whisky on
Thompson's premises: May 6, 81 half
pints of whisky; October "a, A half
pints Of whisky November 30. %
kalf-pints of whisky. and that at
Tkompson's residence. 201S Fourth
avenue, the officers seized on Sep
tember 3, two five gallon cans of
whisky, one jug of whisky and 10
half-pint bottles of whisky. Veto d.
George. an employe of Thompson,
claimed the whisky found at the res
idence was his own. Furthermore, the
bill charges that Louis Dobbs, negro.
employee of Thompson, sold one half
pint of whisky at the restaurant,
2012 Fourth avenue. on July IL, that
he was convicted and served a SEN
tences of so days imposed in the fed
eral court.
Not Seeking TO Close Places
Speaking of the bills of complaint
Smith stated that he was not making
the direct request that the places of
business be closed but that he
sought to secure an injunction pro-
hibiting the parties named from
violating the prohibition laws. He
stated that cases were being stacked
UP against these parties. but that
since Il would be some months before
court would convene, all the author
tiles could do at present was to al
low these violators of the law to
make bond. After securing the bill
of Injunction, an offense of this kind
by either of the parties would con-
stitute contempt of court. and an
immediate and minimum sentence
would be $500 and 80 days imprison-
ment with a maximum of $1,000 AMI
Il months Imprisonment.
Hearing on both the petitions will
he given by Judge w. !. Grub in
federal court Friday morning at .
o'clock.

g Conferences between city and
county officials and probably a con-
ference with jefferson county's new
Legislative representatives were con-
stained in a program, looking to the
erection Of a joint city hall and court
shouse, outlined by Commissioner w.
ID. Cloe Tuesday.
q II hope to get all the parties to-
Sgether and discuss the matter thor
soughly." said Commissioner Cloe.
..eThere is great need for such ac-
ton, and I believe that necessary
legislation can be obtained If the city
and county will enter into the
scheme
Commissioner cloe did not say
when the conferences would be held,
but intimated that they would be as
soon as all forces could be brought
together. II conferences are to be
held with legislators 1t probably will
be necessary that they be scheduled
in December.
Commissioner Cloe has for some
time advocated abandoning the pres
emit city hall and erecting a new one.
He has proposed that the present
structure be rented out for offices,
could be obtained. He favors the
city and county building joint hall
and court house.
This would ultimately result in a
great saving to the people, said
Commissioners Cloe. There is neces-
sarily much duplication of work by
the city and county, and such dupli-
cation is unnecessary when the work
could all be brought under one roof
"All the larger municipalities are
coming to the scheme of going In
with counties. thereby effectlng a
great saving and at the same time
making possible more handsome and
modern structures than would other
wise be possible.
Both the city hall and the court
house are dilapidated. From time to
time, there will have to be even more
repairs on both. Why not eliminate
this waste and put up fine building
that will serve all our needs
