MORE ENDORSEMENTS FOR PURE FOOD LAW
League Of Women Voters Will As
 sist In Its Passage

Endorsement of the city health de- partment's proposed pure food' law by the public health committee of the League of Women Voters and the Birmingham Retail Butchers and Grocers association, and announce immediately to discuss it, gave strength Tuesday to hopes of Dr. J.. D. Bowling and other health au thorities that the measure will re- ceive favorable consideration when the city commission takes it up Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
 The Women Voters committee studied the text of the proposed ordinance carefully and reached the unanimous decision that its enact ment would throw needed safeguards around the handling of food in the stores and elsewhere.
 A large attendance of women is expected at the commissions session Thursday.
 The Butchers and Grocers associa- tion, after 6 full discussion, gave it's unqualified endorsement to the meas ure and made plans to send big delegation to the commissions ses- sion.
 George Yancey, well-known attor- ney, after passing on legal aspects of the measure for the association members, told them the passage of pure food" law in Birmingham would be one of the greatest for ward steps taken by the city in many years. B. C. Apperson, secretary of the association, Is daily calling on the retailers and enlisting their aid in the campaign in behalf of the ordinance.

FORMULATE PLANS FUR GIRLS HOME
pr. Paul Smith, Noted Cali fornia Reformer, To
 Be Invited

pr. Paul Smith, president of the Interchurch Film corporation, and famous as the man who cleaned up San Francisco's notorious Barbary coast, is to be invited to visit Bir- mingham and deliver a lecture under the auspices of the Alabama Arisxl Welfare association, according to action of that body at their weekly meeting Tuesday evening in the off, flee of Commissioner De E. McLendon.
 In their efforts to launch a move ment for the construction and main tenance of a home for delinquent women and girls discharged from dis ciplinary institutions, the associa- tion expects to develop city-wide in- terest in the project by securing such speakers as Dr. Smith to assist in arousing the people of the city and state to the need of an institd- tion of this type.
 .tion by Commissioner W. B. Cloe in regard to the Pisgah Home for a temporary home for the initial work of the associat ton. The buildings are said to be in bad repair and 1t would require considerable money to make the place habitable. Commi issioner Cloe told the meeting, however that they were at liberty to take the place and the grounds and use them if needed. The Isolation hospital on the Southside, containing 35 rooms, was also taken under advisement, but it is not thought this place will be con- sidered, although the city still has a lease on the building extending over the next year. The location committee was instructed to look further into the matter of securing a permanent home and investigate other available sites for the venture.
 Dr. James G. Vance, member of the civil service board, made an inter setting talk at the meeting on condi- tions necessary for the success of the institution from a medical stand point, and emphasized the point that it was the duty of the institution to awake the interest of the state to it's duty toward the care and supervi- sion fo these delinquents who are declared a menace to the public health.
 A partial report was made by the membership committee and num- Der of prominent social service work CTS of the city were added to the present nucleus. The naming of the finance committee and board of gov ernors was postponed until later in the month. It is expected that these two committees will be appointed at the meeting Tuesday evening.
 Invitations are being sent out to social workers in other cities of the state asking them to assist in mak- ing a success of the undertaking, as the institution will care for girls and women from every corner of the state as fast as room and funds are available.

SCRAP IN HOUSE EFFECTS MARKETS
Slow Down Noted In Volume Of Activity-PubIic Not
 Participating
By WALTER B. BROWN.

New York, Dec. A slow down in the volume of activity and re- duction in the participation of the public ip the stock market opera tions are undoubtedly traceable to the deadlock in the organization of the house of representative at Washington.
 The outlook is for delay in the delivery of the Presidents message and in the assurance that document is expected to give of the admin istration's attitude toward the inn portant problems facing the country. While Wall Street would not admit any doubt as to the constructive character of the message, there was a natural hesitancy as to the in- terpretation that mi ght be given to It.
 The underlying strength in the market is evidence of belief that the administration may be depend ed upon to pursue a safe and sane policy, but there is at the same time degree of apprehension as to the lineup of congress on these ques- tions. In other words, assuming that the message itself will be all that could be asked, there is nat ural desire to see what the reaction of congress itself will be to it.

 Rail Lists Strong.
 That there is mo- great apprehen- sion as to what will be done to the railroads was reflected in a generally firm tone to the rail list which was in fact what supported the general market. Noteworthy in this respect was the strength in Pennsylvania.
 Secretary Hoover's explanation of the influx of gold attracted consid- erable attention. He ascribes the con tinued importations of the yellow metal to the purchases abroad of American securities. Imports and exports are pretty well balanced so that gold payments may move in either direction but inquiries among bankers and brokers reveals that purchases of American securities by foreigners has been sufficiently large to require additional gold shipments to finance them. There has also been a disere on the part of British cap- italists to find asylum for their hold ings in this country, in the event o1 the labor party coming into power al the coming election in Great Britain but the volume of transactions ot this character has undoubtedly beer overestimated.

 Spiritual Cause For Universe

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 4.-(By Associated Press )-Real science ana real religion are not in conflict, Rev. pr. Silas Evans, president of Ripon college, Ripon, Wis, declared before the National Presbyterian con ference here today, in an address in which the difference of beliefs oi "fundamentalists" and liberals was touched upon for the first time during the sessions.
 There is not now and never will be a conflict of science and religion but there is a conflict between in complete science and incomplete re- ligion," Dr. Evans declared. sSeience when it comes to maturity, is going to conclude that tliere Is spiritual cause for the universe. A real scientist cannot be a materialist, for materialist worships matter and a scientist worships ideals"
 Science and religion are closer to- gether now than ever before, pr Evans declared. and more and more the two are singing a great duet. Eufaula Wednesday in connection with the work on the steel bridge over the Chattahoochee river. Work on this project was started shor' while ago,

Opposing Dealers Ready For Debate But Commission Puts Them off.

Opposing forces Tn the bltter
 Sunday closing war between auto
 mobile accessory and service dealers, equipped with all sorts of statistics
 and arguments, filed into the city
 commissions chamber Tuesday ready
 to resume debate. but they didn't get
 chance With two commissioners
 absent, the question was passed over
 until Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
 At the adjourned session the pure | food" ordinance advocated by the health department will be introduced and a number of routine matters dis posed of.
 The commission several times has indicated an attitude of "hands off" in the closing row unless the wars ring factions could agree on a new ordinance. With little chance of this. both factions are insisting that the commission decide the issue.
 A majority of the dealers want to
 close on Sundays but they ask a compulsory law that also will close their competitors. Several companies take issue, and are urging the com mission to deny the closing petition and let the law remain unchanged, Commissioner Cloe has declared for rigid enforcement of all blue laws and has said he will vote for an ordinance to close the service sta
 tions. The other commissioners have inclined to the view that Sunday automobile service should be allowed.

MORGAN VERDICT REVERSED

The court of appeals today re- versed and remanded the case orig mating as suit by J. D. Morgan against the National Surety company in which Morgan obtained judg- ment against the company as surety for the Mid-Texas Petroleum com- pany in the lower court The National Surety company appealed the case from the Montgomery circuit cout, and the verdict of the lower court was reversed by the court of appeals.
 The Mid West Petroleum case, in volving Porter E. Glenn as one of it's officials, is perhaps the most noted case of alleged oil frauds in Alabama J. D: Morgan bought s7oo worth of stock, and brought suit, claiming that the sale was made through fraud and misrepresentation on the S10,000 bond made by the Mid Texas company wit hthe state, with the National Surety company as it's surety.
 In reversing the judgment obtained by Morgan in the lower court. the court of appeals held that the .bene- ficiary of bond in such case has not the right to sue in his own name. If each beneficiary may sue in his own name to the exclusion of all others, it would be possible for one party to reap the entire benefit of the bond to the exclusion of all others. The statute does not so read, and could not have been so in- tended" It was further held that the trial court erred in not sustain ing the plea of the statete of limita tions made by the defendant.

MONROE, La, Dec. 4.-Crude oil waste from the Arkansas oil field, floating on the surface of the Ouachita river, is causing the death of thousands of wild ducks, accord ing to hunters who have been along the stream north of Monroe.
