Today is the annual Tag Day for the Boys club
 This Is the means by which the The purpose of the club Is to give boys the right start in nfo by sur rounding them with wholesome en- vironment. The club has done ex- cellent work In the past, and is planning greater things for the future.
 In the following statement made by c. U. Wiley. president. the pur- poses, aims and needs of the club are outlined:
 Today, the Boys Club of Birming- ham holds it's annual tag day. This gives the citizens of Birmingham an opportunity to contribute to the ex- cellent work which the club Is do- ing. Because the Boys Club works in a quiet way, many of our citizens are not si familiar with 1t as they are of the boy scouts. The two or ganizations are distinct and seprate, they work with an entirely different class of boys.
 From the campaign early in the year for funds for boys work, money was obtained for the opera ton of both organizations but only S6,5OO was made available for the Boys Club this year. This amount barely takes care of the ordinary operating expenses and Is several thousand dollars less than tho amounts available during previous years.
 The Boys, Club is making neffort to secure permanent location on which club house can be built The first step is to make first payment on lot which has been selected as the best location for the work. Once the title to this lot Is assured. a temporary building will be erected to give the boys gymnasium and a recreation room. It is for this purpose funds are being solicited from the citizens of Birmingham to- day
 Roosevelt once said, "All the vaga- bondage in the world begins in neg lected childhood" and Jacob Riis, the great friend of the street boy, said, Tt is with the Boys Club that the street Is hardest hit In the fight for the lad it Is that which knocks out the gang and with It's own wea- pon-the weapon of organization"
 The Boys Club reaches the unfor- tunate boy who Is thrown upon the street at an early age to earn his own living and to contribute to the support of his parents. He works hard during the hours other boys are at play and his playtime Is in the evening when other boys are being cared for by their parents. The natural animal spirits of boy must have outlet and If he has not means

SANITARY CODE IS
 BEING REVISED
Dealers in PerishabIe Food stuffs Warned Against
 PeSterous Flies

Complete revision of the Birming- ham sanitary code is now under way following recent decision by the su- preme court that the city commits sion has it in their power to make and enforce sweeping ordinances regulating the manufacture and sale of food products, fruits and vege- tables. according to pr. J. D. Dowl- ing, health inspector.
 Fruit vendors and produce mer- chants are advised by Dr. Bowling to comply with the city's ordinance requiring screens and protection from flies and dust of fruit, vege- tables and other exposed foods. dis played for sale on or near the city streets.
 The court of appeals sustained the city commission in the case of Frank Rietta vs. city of Birmingham, on an appeal after the lower courts had held the ordinance valid.
 It now becomes necessary for Ri- etta and other merchants and ven dors to observe the city law and protect their wares from contamina- ton by insects and dust.
 "The sanitary code of Birmingham is almost obsolete and it will take careful study and detailed work to bring 1t up to the standard" said Dr. Bowling Recent decision of the higher courts indicate that we can now go forward with this task which the city commission and board of health have had in mind for some time.
 "It will mean the revision of many sections of the city code, and the creating of new statutes to govern those who handle food products.
 pr. Bowling also pointed out that the people of the city had every right to expect all food purchased here to be up to the standard and free from all contamination, and that the city would not have freer hand in carrying out many sanitary methods heretofore prevented by lack of just how far the powers of the city commission extended in the making and enforcing of such laws.
 The screening ordinance affects three sections of the city code which pertains to the handling, sale and display of certain foods for sale, and all merchants affected by these sta- tutes are expected to immediately observe the mandates of the court of appeals and obey these laws.
