 It was asked that if sufficient proof was obtained showing that the business houses sold the articles knowingly to people engaged in illi- cit whiskey manufacturing and knowing that the utensils were to be used in the manufacturing of the liquor, that these business houses be closed by injunction proceedings.
 Section IFS of the prohibition law, 1t was pointed out. makes it unlaw- ful for any person to advertise, man ufacture, sell or possess for sale. any utensil, or machine. designed or in- tended for use in the manufacture of intoxicating liquor"

 Training the body. mind and soul for maximum service" was the subject of the speakers address. Judge Locke pointed out the great superiority of man over everything else in the world. He told the students that the secret of mans success had been the training of the hands and brain in the practical things of life.
 "The spiritual side of man should also" said Judge Locke, ''be develop ed for it e1evates man out of the ordi- nary realm and the man who neg lects the spiritual side wholly for the physical and mental side will become q shipvreck," Judge Locke illustrat- ed this remark with Aaron Burr as an example.

MUNICIPAL COURT
 |NDORSED BY WYNN
Court Would Be Great Aid to Law Enforcement, Says
 City Attorney

City Attorney W. J. Wynn in statement issued yesterday heartily recommends the action taken by the grand jury recently in indorsing the formation of municipal court of appeals here.
 "It would be a great step forward in law enforcement for the city of Birmingham to have municipal court of appeals where offenders would secure a speedy trial and it is to be hoped that action be taken by the next legislature and create such a much-needed court in Bir- mingham," said Mir. Wynn.
 There is a mass of city appeal cases-the accumulation of years which is cloggin.s the docket of the criminal court, and with the present number of judges the criminal court is utterly unable to handle all these eases in connection with the state cases. This situation has been grow ing steadily worse with the growth of Birmingham. One week every month is devoted by the criminal court to city appeal cases. and In the last few months the city has been given one additional week. and the Judges of the civil division of the circuit court have tried some of these cases, The judges of the crcuit court have done everything in their power to relieve the congestion, but in spite of all this the number of city appeal cases s in- creasng more rapidly than the cases are disposed of Tn November. 1921. there were pending S53 of these ap- peals, and on the first of March. 1922 there were pending 950. in spite of the fact that a much greater num- har hu
