CONTROL NEEDED,
 BROADY DECLARES
Speaker Stresses Value Of Self
 Policing In Conduct

"The mark of the educated man or woman is ability to police oneself" said J. NJ. Broadly pastor of Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church Wednesday morn ing in addressing students at Howard college summer school. v
 ''The biggest task one has is policeA ing himself,,' continued Dr. Broadly, and the lack of ability to police one self is one of the great dangers of the present day. Dangers, disappointments. and defeats are usually the result of being unable to do this.
 When you start out to teach" Dr. Broadly cautioned the teachers, it is your duty to help put the power. of control inwardly into the boys and girls who come under your influence
 The speaker quoted statistics showa ing that 1000 college graduates in the United States alone are serving terms in prison because they are not able to police themselves, and that if the past year, 500,000 girls disappeared from home for the same reason. o
 "As leaders in education, it is your privilege to harness what you get here and use it to help students control themselves" the pastor told the stu: dents. ,e
 The editor of a great newspaper has said that civilization will end in 15Q years, if it goes on as it is now, and the greatest contributing factor wifi be education, education without morals. :, quoted Dr. Broadly.

ENSLEY CLOSES 1, FOR BIG OUTING OFBUSlNESS MEN
Barbecue For 4,OOO Is
 Spread By Merchants ..;.. At Pineview
(Ensley Bureau.)

Ensley business was suspended vir-
 tuaHy 100 per cent Wednesday, while
 merchants, other business men, their families, friends, and employees, went ito Pineview beach for their annual out /. ing.
 , Early Wednesday morning President Ps. H. Tyler, R. F. Ham, chairman of the entertainment committee, and Claud Eubanks, secretary of the Associated Merchants, were busy getting the pick nickers started to the resort, and by g o'clock the streets of Ensley were svirtually deserted.
 l During the morning, hundreds of pa irons of Ensley stores gathered down town, and were soon in automobiles speeding to Pineview, where barbecue had been prepared by the merchants for 4,000, visitors. The meats and other ,edibles were spread at noon upon long, hoard tables to the immense throng sof guests.
 2 The dance floor of the beach pavil- ion was covered with couples during the. afternoon, and number of the picknickers sought cooler retreats along the beach itself, many of them Sindulging in swimming and various inn 'promptu aquatic contests were staged.
 Exhibition diving of Miss Elhbert was a feature of the beach program, and later in the day formal program of water contests was staged. Many entered the competitions, and keen rivalry was displayed. Some exception ally difficult feats of diving and swim ming were exhibited, and the contest was genuinely enjoyed by hundreds of spectators.
 ! Opinion was expressed at the con rlusion of the festivities that the out ing was handled with greater ease and harmony, andw with considerably less friction than the one last year, which outing, however, was regarded highly successful by all those who attended. The belief was virtually unanimous :that the picnic was one of the very best events of the kind of the entire sea- son in Ensley. - f--

VOTING MACHINES SOUGHT TO. SOLVE BALLOT PROBLEM
Increased Registration Emphasizes Need For
 Relief, Bowen Says

Out of the maze of contests, recounts and general dissa tisfaction growing out of elections in Jefferson county, we'll defined movement to legalize the use of automatic election machines has de- veloped, it became known at the court house Wednesday.
 County political leaders are laying plans to confer with city officials in the near future in an effort to finance the purchase of enough machines to handle future elections.
 Large counties and cities in the east are employing these machines and the system is working perfectly, local of- ficials said. .n5a....
 T figure it would take S40,000 or S50,000 to purchase machines for lief ferson county" said L. K. Bowen, county registrar and chairman of the election commission.
 Their use, he said, would greatly reduce the number of election officials, as well as the cost of ballots and other election supplies, and would be an economical step.
 Move Started Before
 "A movement in this direction was 5ldL tC0 AOul OI llNE y dSOS SdlN Bowen, but fell through when the city could not find funds to help the county buy the necessary machines. In view of the general demand for greater speed and efficiency in hold ing elections, I believe the next effort would be successful. Jefferson county is growing so rapidly that these ma chimes soon will be an absolute ne- cessity."
 It would not be necessary to place machines at many of the small boxes over the county, in the opinion of Mir. Bowen. Machines in the large city precincts, at Bessemer, Ensley, Fair field, Central Park, and East Lake, he believes, would solve the county's cleo tion problems.
 Election machines operate on the same plan as adding machines, and when the ballot boxes close, the of ficial returns, fully tabulated, would be ready for announcement. Thus, long hours of counting ballots, which frequently take whole day, would be eliminated. <
 To Add Boxes
 Registrar Bowen said Jefferson coun- tvs rapid increase in registration has ndue ueceSSdry tne eStaDllSnmeQC or a number of new boxes. Under the state laws, only 300 votes can be pooled at one box.
 New boxes will be established imme- diately at Overton mines and Bluff park, and advertisements soon will be published for additional boxes at Gen. tral Park, Mountain Terrace, East Lake and Fairfield.
 Bowen's books show the present reg istration in the county totals 46,9OO. Of this total, 30,000 voters reside with in the limits of the city of Birmingham. There are 15,000 women registered.
 Action by the Alabama legislature would be necessary to legalize the use of election machines, according to Mir. Bowen, who is member of that body.

POLICE SCHOOL . STILL SINNERS
Board May Seek Inde- pendent Funds For
 Cop College

Although official confirmation was lacking, indications multiplied Wednes- day that the civil service board will attempt to raise funds independently and establish a training school for Birmingham policemen, despite the ad- verse action taken by the city commis- sion Tuesday.
 Approximately S700 is needed, the members of the board believe the money could easily be raised by popular sub- scriptions, according to talk at city hall.
 Meanwhile, Police Commissioner Cloe flatly refused to make a statement. He had told the commission at Tuesdays session that he would not object to the school if the city could spare the money.
 Some of Cloe's men, however, were doing bit of talking about the pro. posed school. Evidently the commis- sioner's statement that Birmingham's police force is already "as efficient as any in the country" was being upheld by number of members of his depart ment.
 One member of the force said he knew of number of officers who would re- fuse to attend the school unless it was made absolutely compulsory"
 And even then," he added, i've will throw spit-balls."

OFFICERS NEED
 BATHING SUITS TO FIND LIQUOR

DISTOLS and larger guns always
 are included in the regular out
 fits of all law enforcement of- ficers, but no provision is made re- garding wearing apparel.
 The, addition of bathing suits to the regulation equipment, would, in the opinion of at least four federal prohibition agents, be wholly wei come.
 This was the conclusion Officers Buckner, McPherson, Adkins and Robinson reached following a mid night excursion Monday, during the course of which they were forced to wade through nearly a block of water that reached above their shoul- ders.
 They were rewarded for their ef- forts by locating an unusually large still and capturing two alleged liquor manufacturers. These were Char lie Cyuntry and Otis Fields, who were bound over to the federal grand jury Tuesday by United States Com missioner Kenneth Charlton.
