The girls game was called at 7:4s
m from the first the game was In
favor OF the Rawlins girls. The
game throughout was fast on the
part OF the home team and showed
that with a little more practice and
experience In games, the girls would
have a team that would be hard to
beat. The score for the first half OF
the game was IA to 4 in favor of the

hardly gotten warmed up to the
game when the whistle for the first
nall was blown, the score then being
"a to 2 in favor of Rawlins. During
the second half, however, their speed

THREE MEASURES FUR BIRM|N HAM UNDER DISCUSSION
Legislators and City Officials Discuss Municipal Legisla- tion-Court of Appeals
 Vital, States Wynn

Three definite proposals for mu- nicipal legislation were laid before the Jefferson county legislative dele gation by city officials Friday night at conference held in the commis- sicn chamber. These were municipal control of public utilities, creation of municipal court of appeals, and the passage of an act enabling cities to adopt building zoning ordinances. City Attorney w. J. Wynn spoke for the city on each Of these meas ures. and he was followed by Com missioner William l.. Harrison, who elaborated on the home rule bill. Commissioner w. B. Cloe. who urged the court ef appeals and mentioned other legislation, and President D. E. McLendon, who declared that the zoning law was his hobby, and who also urged that the legislature direct it's attention to effecting more com prehensive personal tax law.
 Court of Appeals
 Attorney Wynn declared that the most effective stroke that could be wielded in the interest of law en- forcement was the creation of mu- nicipal court of appeals. He pointed out that delay in hearing of appeals cases operates against law enforce ment and that 1t results in congestion cf circuit court dockets. He declared that he strongly preferred a separate municipal court to the addition of a judge in the circuit court to hear city appeal cases.
 Speaking for an enabling act allow ing cities to pass zoning laws Attor- ney Wynn said that the city wanted to adopt an ordinance covering zcn- ing between dwellings and apartment houses. between residential and bus

Film Distributors Present a United Front Against Rentals Asked by American and
 Foreign Producers

STOCKHOLM Dec. 15.-Swedisi movie fans" who have paid more than 1s.Ooo,ooo crowns for admissions during the last theatrical year, chief ly to see American films. rejoice at the news that hereafter the price os motion picture tickets may come down
 This hope is seen in the united front which Swedish film distribu- tors are showing against foreign price policies. In the past the rentals paid for American films have been tremendous, and in some cases ruin- ous. It has been complained that Scandinavia, with it's population of 1o,O00,000, pays higher rentals for these films than does France, with population of 50.000,000. A con solidation between the Swedish Film Industries, Ltd, and the Film Central went into effect November l. It is believed this will result in moro powerful resistance to the price policy of foreign film distributors. Another Scandinavian combine has been made with the object of organ izng and controlling the purchase and import of German films, which are rapidly gaining footho1d in the Swedish market
 In the meantime the production of high class Swedish films is. being continued. These photoplaysa and educational pictures are popular with the Swedish public, as well as in other European countries, especially England and France, and have even

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 15. A fell low ship between nations as l cure for war was recommended at the closing session of the annual meet ing of the executive. committee of the federal council of churches of Christ in America here tonight by Bishop.4charles II, Brent of Buffa : 10. N Y.. formerly chief chapiain , of the American Expeditionary forces.
 "The fellowship between nations, said Dr. Brent, must be controlled by love, joy, peace. good temper kindliness, generosity, fidelity, gem tleness and self control. Conferences of the representatives of nations, In view of the impossbility of confer enees of the nations themselves, are the greatest instruments for the pro- motion of good will at our disposal.
 Tt is the duty of the church to aid the government in giving prae- tcal expression to the accepted fact of the community of nations. Should the churches agree on a way of reaching this end, the formulation and presentation of their thought IS a normal feature of democracy. liable to no resentment but capable of great usefulness I am expressing the thought of multitudes of American Christians when I express the hope that our government might give the country clearer idea of it's mind on the community of nations"
 Bishop James Cannon, Jr. of the Methodist Episcopal church, south. in speaking today of the political situa- tion in the near east and the Lau- same conference, said.
 T register my protest against a code of American neutrality in Euro pean affairs that is so heartless and impotent that 1t cannot enter in and protect the helpless and prevent massacres. Such code is a disgrace to a Christian civilization. Our rep resentative at the Lausanne confer ence should demand, as well as ob- serve, and should demand most em- phatieally."

ALABAMA CO-EDS DEFEAT CENTRAL

UNIVERSITY, Ala. Dec. 15.- Special. )-The Crimson sextet bare la- nosed out r to 14 victory over the strong Central college aggrega- tion tonight. The game started off very slow with both teams missing numerous "crip' shots. Alabamas forwards. who have been shooting with so much accuracy during the recent practices, had to be content with two field goals during the first period, due to the close guarding of B. Planter and Capt. Chilcote, and their own Inability to ring easy goels
 Central led the Crimson team during the whole game up to the last five minutes, when a spurt by Stre- bile at forward. with two field goals and three free throws by Nichols gave Alabama the lead which was maintained until the final whistle.
 Central college presented q strong ane fast aggregation and their team work and shooting excelled that of the Crimsons. but several substitu- tions for Alabama in the final period gave added strength and freshness which proved the turning point of the game.
 For Alabama the work of Donovan at side center and Robertson and storrs at guard. was the best. Hanby, the midget side center for Central covered the floor like a Barnum and Bailey tent and was by far the most brilliant player of the Centralites. Captain Chilcote and Jones also played their positions with great skill. Summary:
