 cussed By Brent

Brent of tLe, traffic. squad told members of the Birmingham Kiwanis club at the weekly luncheon of the club Tuesday in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel.
 Captain Brent pointed out. however. that in spite of this carelessness on the part of the public, only tMos slight ac- cidents downtown have occurred since the, new system was installed.
 Commissioner W. E. Cloe spoke of the need for municipal. improvements and called attention to. the fact that Birmingham has an area of -61 square miles and only 100 policemen. The Hir- mingham. fire department was men, tioned as being in especially great need of additional funds for buildinss.
 Dr. W. T. Devine, formerly editor of The Survey and member of the coal commission appointed by President Harding, discussed the committee's re- port and urged members of the club to familiarixe themselves with it. He recommended that greater publicity De accorded the coal mining industry and suggested the creation of a special bureau of the interstate commerce com mission to supervise the coal industry. :.

Innocence or guilt may be largely a matter of skill or luck, George Wash ington Thomas, negro minister of Wylam, found out Tuesday when he was acquitted by Judge H. E. Aber- nothy after drawing jack of dia- monds as against his accuser's six of spades.
 Thomas was brought before Judge Alb on charge of assault preferred by John Luther Rutherford, also a negro preacher. Both were placed on the witness stand, the defendant claiming he struck the other man in self-de- fensc. ..
 Judge. it's disgrace for me to be brought into court like this,' he plead ed. Tin an educated nigger preacher and don't want such an honorable judge as you to think I beat up another nigger without prevarication. That nigger's been pestering me a long time, and the other day we jest had per sonal encounter. That's all judge. hit him, but he hit me first"
 The decision was too weighty for Judge Alb to decide on his own au- thority. So he reached, for his deck of cards, kept handy for just such emer- gencies. .,
 You'll have to cut for it.' he said. "The best man gets the highest card"
 The defendant drew the jack of dia- monds. His accuser drew the six of spades. .;5

Guy Bates Post, the great American actor. appears at the Jefferson theatre for the last two times in today's matinee and night performances. in Edward J. Locke's unusual play, The Climax, the song of soul. The part of the music teacher, Luigi Golfanti, is the greatest achievement of his many stage characterizations. and the scenes within the four walls of Luigi's studio are of rare beauty and dramatic appeal, for ''The Climax" is a play serious enough to make one think, funny enough to make every one laugh, clean enough to make clergymen and laymen glad, and good enough for any one to live as to the characters of the play, with their struggles and their joys and their sor- rows, and the final demonstration of love and forgiveness. Mir. Posts per formance as the music teacher adduces new proof that he is master of art that manifestation of emotion, speaking the only language that is understood by all-irrespective of creed, nationality, sex or edueation-whether the express sion be of the emotion of gladness, sad ness, shock or tears.
