Man Charged With Holding
Another Position Will
Appear On June 26

Trial of r. B. Sutton, warden of
the Northside Jail. charged with hav-
ing held another position while en-
ployed by the police department
which was to have been tried by
the civil service board Monday night
was postponed until Tuesday night.
June &c. Reason given for the post
ponement was that Chief Of Police
Fred McDuff. who filed the charges,
was out Of the city.
In the specifications read before
the board at the last meeting, it
was stated that Mr.. Sutton was in
the employ of life insurance COM
pany in the capacity of examining
physician from which he received APP
proximately $40 per month for his
services.
On the request of the motorcycle
men of the department they were
placed on the same footing as pa
trolmen to have their length of
service dated from the last connec-
ton with the city. These men pre-
viously had requested their seniority
be dated from the first service with
the police department. These men
will not be allowed to choose their
shifts from their length of service.
The petition of the men was signed
by nine of the ten mounted men.
Rules which are to apply to the
action and conduct of firemen while
on active and inactive duty were
read before the board and were re-
ferred to the rules committee. COM
posed of ]. E. Lacey. r. C. gladden.
and Professor Bryan. These rules,
embodied all actions of firemen on
or off duty. After the reading of
the rules, Dr. J. G. Vance suggested
they be tabled until similar rules,
which have been written for from
several other larger cities, were re-
ceived.
A like code of rules governing
the police department are being
drafted and will be published in
pamphlet form. 1t will include all
rules which have been adopted by
the civil service board.
A vote of the board. as to whether
or not Mrs. Myrtelle Smell, city
amusement inspector, was member
of the police department, resulted in
Mrs. Smell being member of the
department as she is privileged to
make arrests and come under the
direction of the department.

TURNS ADDRESS ON
AMERICANISM IN TO
ATTACK ON PRESS
Senator J. Thomas Heflin
Speaker Before Frater-
nal ORGANIZATION

Delivering one of his character
istic attacks upon the press of the
country in general and declaring that
as soon as they picked his sue
cessor he would pluck him. United
States Senator ]. Thomas Helm
Monday night addressed the MEM
bers of the Junior Order United
States Mechanics on "Americanism."
About so persons heard his discourse
at Fraternal hall.
In his reference to the press, the
senator said: "If I were publisher of
newspaper l would at least make
an effort to chronicle the doings of
good men in Congress, men who are
fighting the fights Of the people, men
who have dedicated their life to their
country's cause, and let me add here
and now, 1 am not afraid of any of
them 1 have been elected before
without their aid and will do the
same thing again."
The senator's address contained
much about himself as q senator
whose efforts. he stated, had been
belittled by certain Alabama news
papers," He took teh stand that the
political influence of the press. due
to sweetening of their coffee by
working of purse strings" was wan
Ing. He likened this alleged working
of the purse strings unto feeding
of the hogs" He charged that many
newspapers are subsidized and that
the press was slow in recognition of
real talent and ability.
He maed particular reference to the
Birmingham News as being at least
indifferent" in that it refused pub
-ication of a certain letter purported
to have been written by a friend of
his with the request that it be used
as news story. Later he said, the
News refused the letter as an ad-
vertisement.
He asked his hearers to pardon oft
reference to himself. saying that was
the only way in which he could pre-
sent his great" cause.
The senator referred to American
ism as doctrine of democracy taught
by Thomas Jefferson and said there
Is room in this country for only two
parties. He denounced former Pres
ident W. H. Taft for his tariff policy.
he referred to President Harding as
complete failure"

YOUR ADJUSTMENTS

A MUSEMENT is useful ana neces.
"A sary. Without 1t the world would
not only be dull place but an lmpos-
slble place.
Games, theaters, novels, everything
that helps you enjoy your leisure, are
just as necessary as the faculties that
help you do your work.
Expensive amusements, however,
are only for the rich. The man who
has his way to make needs amuse-
ment, but he cannot afford to con-
tribute to it very heavily.
And unless he can make his amus0-
ment pay for itself he will never get
half as much as he needs.
Fortunately it is very easy to make
amusement return enough profit so
that it is practically free.
Outdoor amusements, from the cost
ly golf to the inexpensive walking, can
all be made to pay if they return in
health what they cost in money.
All of them will do so If they are in
dulged in wisely.
Many a man gets out of golf or ten
mis- a physical condition which could
not be had at any price save that Of
money and time spent in exercise.
The man who can enjoy no exercise
but golf had better play golf. If he
plays regularly he will keep his blood
in circulation, digest his food and sup
ply his lungs with the oxygen that his
body needs for it's complicated proc
esSeS.
If tennis is the only thing he likes,
he had better play tennis than let his
body run to seed for want of care.
He can get as much out of walking
az he can out of golf or tennis. But
most men will not walk and they will
play games So the games earn their
keep in health and are not an extrava-
gance.
If you read the right kind of novels
and go to the right kind of plays they
will stimulate thought and may pay
for themselves many times over.
Trash between covers or on the
stage does nobody any good, and is
consequently too expensive to indulge
in.
Don't be afraid of spending money
on recreation If it is intelligent recrea-
ton. The money will be returned in
the end. 1t is not an extravaganza, 1t
is merely a necessity of life, coated
pleasantly with the sugar of enjoy
ment.
