 Whereas, the public holds the en- tire profession responsible for the misdeeds and unethical conduct of any of it's members; and
 Whereas, recently in the courts reputable officials and citizens of this and other counties have, under the solemnity of oaths, openly charged the entire bar of Jefferson county with the stigma and disgrace of ambulance chasing to such an eX- tent that they claimed that a member of this bar, although it might be ad- mitted that he had deliberately Vio- lated the law, was justified in so do- ing, because the custom was preva- lent and common among our mem- bers;
 Resolutions As Adopted.
 Therefore Be it Resolved: First: That we recount IS untrue and as uncalled for such general in- dictment of the bar of Jefferson
 
 derce in the integrity and honor of our profession. and our determination not to allow the misdeeds and un- ethical acts of some few of our mem bers to cast the cloud of unethical conduct upon the entire bar; that we again renew our opposition to the making by claim agents and others of unjust and the speedy settlements. and memorialize the legislature to pass the laws which have been pre- sented by the Birmingham Bar as- sociation requiring court approval of such settlements, and the law proposed by the State Bar as- sociation giving to lawyers super vision over the admission to and dis barment from the bar.
 Second: That the time for reso- lutiohs alone has passed. These charges, seriously and solemnly made and circulated over the entire state, must be thoroughly and fairly ln- vestigated and either sustained or disproved; that such investigation IS not only necessary for our own vim dication, and if the proof 1ustifles IL our own cleansing, but 1t is demand ed in the public interest, because our government depends upon the main tenance of justice pure and unsullied, and it cannot be maintained unless the conduct and motives of our pro fessfon are such as to merit the ap- proval of all just men.

WILL CELEBRATE FOURTH

The Fourth of July will be cele- brated in Fairfield to & greater eX- tent this year than ever before. Fol lowing a suggestion of Mayor Pratt several weeks ago, the city has ar ranged a celebration which will go down in the history of Fairfield as one of the most pretentious affairs ever given here. The Kiwanis and Exchange clubs, cooperating with the city officials and other commit teemen, have been working diligent- ly on the plans, and program of interest. will be carried through. The holiday will be started at 10 o'clock and will not be completed until late in the evening. Many interesting features of the program are being definitely shaped up and will be given out within day or two. One of the most patriotic and interesting features of the affair will be the sa- lute of the flag suggested by Harry Hillhouse of the Kiwanis club.
 The idea behind the proposition IS to provide in Fairfield sufficient program of entertainment to keep the citizens of this city at home on that day rather than to compel them to seek diversion elsewhere.

Remarkable Triple Plays

A number of years ago Rube
WaddeH and Ossie Schrecken-
COST were the star battery for
the Philadelphia Athletics.
Schreck compiled a record that
probably has never been equaled
by going to bat with the bases
full and none out and making a
legitimate two-base hit that re-
suited in a triple play without
a run being scored. With the
bases loaded and none ont in a
game against Cleveland, Schreck
damned a long fly over the cen
ter fielder's head that for min
ute looked as though It might
be caught. The runner on third
played it right by going to the
bag, figuring he could score
after the catch, anyway, but the
runner on second dashed over to
third. while the runner on first
pulled his freight for second.
