NIGHT COURT BUSY FIRST WEEK WITH 161 CASES HEARD
Revenue In New Court Totals $994-ReCorder Martin
 Is Benefited

Since the first night session of night recorders court, one week ago, they have been 161 violators brought
 before Judge H. A. Burns, total of
 $S94 in fines being assessed and collected. The new court was made reality at the instance of w. B. Cloe, commissioner of public safety.
 Judge Henry J. Martin, who pre- sides at the day sessions, Is probably one of the most benefited by the night court. Heretofore, there have been approximately 150 cases to be tried each day of the week. Officials are of the opinion that within the next two weeks that this amount will be cut third if not a half and also be of great assistance to officers who work on the day and evening shifts.
 The two police precincts existing before Judge Burns was made night recorder, together with his duties ot recorder in the Ensley court, have been eliminated much confusion and loss of time both to the departments and the violators of the law. If man is arrested late in the afternoon, or at night. he can be tried before the night court pay his fine, or be discharged, as the case may be and not lose day from work while waiting for his case to be called. Evening shift officers may also set their cases for the evening court and not have to come down for the morning session.
 There is little doubt in the minds of the city commission, Commissioner Cloe, the police officers and the public that the new court will be success from every viewpoint.
 Last Saturday night there were 22 cases tried and S16S in fines paid, and the balance of the week is as follows, with numbers of people ar rested and amount of fines: Monday night, II arrests. SIPS in fines; Tues- nesday, A arrests, $l3S in fines; Thursday, arrests, SPA in fines; Friday, II arrests and $73 in fines, and Saturday night, 46 arrests and $277 in fines.
 As soon as the officers of the diff ferent shifts becomes accustomed to the new routine is connected with the court many of the cases which have previously been tried before Judge Martin will be set for the eve hing session During the past week approximately 20 cases per day have been tried before Judge Burns, thus relieving Judge Martin. It is ex- pected that at least from 30 to 40 cases will be tried before the new court each night within the next month.
 Saturday nights docket varied from gaming to reckless driving. One convenience was noted when a man arrested for violation of the parking law. pleaded guilty and was fined ST, claiming that he was forced and would have been unable to ap- near Monday morning

The members of the training classes come from vari- ous points of Alabama and other states and each is either high school or college graduate. The open ing and the prospect for the coming year were described as exceedingly gratifying by the officials of the hospital Saturday Coincident with stated that the nurses home located on Hospital heights are incapable of taking care of the rapid growth of the training school and that ad- ditions to the plan are being studied at this time. The homes extending in wing formation from the beautiful recreational building, are among the most elegeant buildings in Fairfield and the rapid expansion of the resi- dences for nurses indicates that the development on Hospital heights in this line of work will be much great CT than has been anticipated.
 open To Public.
 In this connection, officials there Saturday expressed some surprise that the residents of the Birming ham district in many instances were unaware that the hospital is for the public at large and was designed to fill need in this district, where the best and most expert attention was needed for the sick. It was pointed out Saturday that first of all the hospital is for the big Tennessee company family, but that patients from anywhere will be admitted to the hospital for treatment if space is available.
 
 With the opening of the training school for the present season this statement was given out regarding the three new officials that are in charge of the work:

OUTLINE TESTS TO QUALIFY DRIVERS OF MOTOR CARS
Conference Will Discuss Means Of Reducing Deaths
 From Automobiles

CHICAGO, Sept, Ss-(By Associated Press)-An intelligence test for the man or woman who drives a motcr car is possibility within the next two or three years.
 Representative of 13 middle west ern states are to be invited to at- tend the conference of motor vehicle administrators, representing state automobile licensing bureaus, to be held here early in September, at which plans will be made for work ing out safety first laws for auto mobilists and pedestrians. The movement is being fostered by the National Safety council The con vention Is to be called by Fred NJ Rosseland. chief of the public safety division of the National Safety council.
 "The man who drives a car fer somebody else must pass an exami- nation" said Walter w. Miller, chief clerk of the automobile division of the Illinois department of state "But anybody can drive an automobile If he owns 1t, whether he has ordinary horse sense or not.
 "The accidents dc not happen to licensed chauffeurs. They happen to upskilled drivers, The conference will make plans for uniform laws to govern the licensing of automobile operators to see if they are suffi- ciently competent mentally to han dle motor driven vehicle Some form of intelligence test is likely tG be devised"
 Representatives of the state de- partments of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska and North and South Da- kota will be invited. It is hoped to have the conference just prior to the meeting of secretaries Of state at Asheville, N. C., September 13, IA, 15.
 There Is a real need, according to the officials sponsoring the confer ence, for uniform laws of driving to lessen the death rate. One way sug- gested Is to prevent man who never has handled car before from buy ing a machine and promptly setting forth as if he were an experienced driver. This prevalent custom could be prevented, they say, by forcing the dealer by law to see that every- body to whom he sells a car is thor oughly instructed before he is per- mitted to operate 1t on the public highways.

Move bulb backward and forward until the circle of light on wall Is of smallest possible diameter. The majority, of headlight devices call for this adjustment A few call for an adjustment either behind or ahead of the focal center; correct ad- ustments for either position gives largest possible spot of light without dark or shaded center.

Never underinflate and never over inflate the tires. If they are too soft, they will heat up, wear out the
 sooner and are more subject to nails, glass, etc. If they are too hard, they make harder riding and require more gasoline, as the soft tire wraps Itself around an obstacle and a hard tire does not yield, but must be pushed over the obstruction.
