STEWED FISHES
 IS NEW BOUNTY ! OF THE COOSA

M P. ANSLEY of Sylacauga has
 ga tale that will put all efforts
 of followers of Izaak Walton to shame, and he brought his wit nesses to The Age-Herald office to vouch for the facts as they were related.
 Mir. Ansley believes Providence will provide for the hungry and es- pecially on the Fourth of July. His belief was rewarded when he had failed after an all-day effort to land enough of the finny tribe to provide. himself and family with good pie mic dinner while fishing on the Coo sa river near Talladega.
 T was just about to give up," Mir. Ansley said, "when l noticed a bulky white object waddling about near the surface of the water and not far off shore. Z.
 At first I couldn't make out what it was, but knew it was some thing alive and grabbed my dip net and succeeded in landing five-pound blue cat. During the afternoon I hauled in three of the same variety, weighing in all between 15 and 20 pounds and all landed under the same circumstances.
 Believe it or not, they Were all drunk" MT. Ansley explained, "just plain drunk, and I set about to To- cate their source of supply. I found it not far up stream and it evil dently had bee min operation just a short time before. At any rate there were drunk cat fish in the Coosa river on the Fourth day of July and I got good mess of lem. The water edge where the sour mash had beer! poured was alive with fishes, drunk and getting drunk"
 No, sir, I'm not a very strong prohibitiontist," Mir. Ansley con tinued.

SEEK TO CHANGE
 BOND ST ATUTES
Junior Chamber Launches Drive
 Against Existing Laws

The Junior Chamber of Commerce Tuesday launched a campaign aimed at a revision of Alabama laws effecting the issuance of state, county and mu- nicipal bonds. Under plans for the drive, the ali dof Birmingham officials is to be recruited first with. the idea of spreading the work to other sections of the state.
 The drive resulted from a directors meeting of the Junior Chamber of Com merce at which state laws were brought up for discussion. Fucker Agee, one of the leaders in the controversy, was named chairman of the local campaign.
 According to Agee, a representative of bond house here, Alabama stat utes are so inadequate that large bond ing houses and life insurnace compa- nies refuse to buy the states issues of bonds even though an interest rate of one-half of one per cent more than other states is offered.
 Among deficiencies in the state laws, which Agee declared had been set down by the American Bankers association and recognized by leading financial heads, were:
 Limit of tax rate by cities.
 Issuance of warrants not voted by the people for floating bonds in coun- ties.
 Allowance of accumulation of debt by cities.
 "The attitude among bankers" Agee said, lis that the state is not offer ing full faith behind it's, credit, and until something is done to change the laws our bonds always win be consid- cred second-rate."
 To act with Agee in the promotion of the campaign, W. w. Kennedy. president of the Junior Chamber. af,- pointed W. M. Rogers and Frank E. Spain.

Why Girls With
Yellow Teeth
Are Unpopular

No girl with yellow-stained teeth can
be popular--no matter how attractive
she may be otherwise. A girl may have
pretty face or pleasant personality
yet if her teeth have yellowiSh look
she cannot be truly charming to men.
Men admire personal daintiness in
woman more than the clothes she
wears. Notice the girl with pearly
white teeth-she has charm and at
tractivcness that is always lacking in
the girl with yellowish teeth.
Yet there are still many girls with
dull, dingy teeth who have not found
out that teeth stains and discolorations
can be completely removed by using a
new scientific treatment recently per-
fected. This marvellous discovery is
known as Bleachodent Combination.
Contains mild liquid which quickly
softens and loosens the hardened stains
which cling To the teeth so that they
can be gently removed by the special
kind Of paste included in treatment.
Once the stains have vanished Bleach
odent Combination will prevent the
formation of future stains and keep
the teeth beautifully white-always.
This wonderful treatment, while il
completely cleans the teeth. does not
affect the enamel as its mild ingre-
dents are especially combined to act
only on surface stains. Men always
admire sparkling white teeth. So get

Game Saturday Afternoon At 3 O'Clock On Berry
 Field

Doc Newton of Jones Valley and Dick Webb of Simpson Tech, will send their charges into the fray Saturday afternoon at o'clock which will start the round-robin play-off for the Jeffer- son County High school baseball league championship.

 Jones Valley, won the championship of the central division from Ensley last week, while Simpson defeated Phillips for the title in the northern division.
 Nwton will send Edney, his stellar mound performer, out to lead the de fensive work of his team while Webb will very likely send Dewey Byrd, brother of Curdy, a right-hander, onto the mound for the Tornado. However, Patton, a southpaw, may perform for Simpson. Allgood will receive the slants of Edney while Ellis will do the catch ing for Simpson.
 Jones Valley nine is in good shape and ready for the start.

ALLIANCE WINS
 OFF BESSEMER
Tigers Blow Up In Seventh And
 Lose Southern Division Title

HUEYT0WN, Ala, May 16.--(Spe- cial. )--Narrowly decided, spotted with crazy fielding, featured by the winners uphill battle, the game between AL liance and Bessemer for the southern division title of the Jefferson County Prep league yesterday afternoon went to the former by a 7-6 score. The win ming runs came as q result of fielding blow-up by the Tigers in the seventh, four runs scoring before the Purple fielders regained their balance. z Bessemer had previously, to all in tents and purposes, packed the contest away by taking advantage of a similar ascension on Alliances part in the sec ond. Singles by Ward, Moses, Stout enborough and Cosper, coupled with an error by Moore, which handled perfect ly would have retired the side scoreless, accounted for . quartet of tallies. AL liance hit back with two in the third on Moore,s single, followed by ghastly bob bies by Ward and Parsons. They drew within one run of tie on Wallace's single with two gone in the fifth and an- other tumble By Ward, but Bessemer ran in another pair in the next frame to take another healthy lead. These were scored on ,as pass to Parsons, Moses, single Hedges walk and Stout enbOrough's single

 Jones' spectacular fielding around first was easily the outstanding fea- ture. The Bessemer- captain handled all kinds of throws perfectly, besides hitting triple and single, and stealing the only base of the game, Parsons played a pretty shortstop, while Cosper dragged down terrific liner by a run ming catch. Stoutenborough twirled neat game, allowing no earned runs and hit we'll.
 Four Double Plays
 Wallace, star of the winning team, was in good form. The whole infeld turned in some fine work in the late innings. Smith pitched sterling en- counter, never quitting in the face of rotten support and a big lead through most of the game. Four double plays relieved the inconsistent fielding of the two contenders.
