 Legislature

w. E. Cloe, commissioner of public safety, Saturday launched move rment to stamp out the manufacture and sale of toy pistols and fireworks in the state of Alabama-the after- math of accidents during the Christ mas and New Year holidays, one of which may cost Mrs. J. M. Dillon of 2O26 Avenue D, her sight.
 Cloe said he would ask City At torney. w. J. Wynn to prepare bill for presentation to the Alabama legislature, which may convene in special session at an early date.
 "In order to regulate this business in Birmingham, it must be regulated over the entire state," said Cloe. The city has an ordinance against use of fireworks in the inner fire limits but 1t Is next to impossible to enforce 1t. Legislative action is the only way to get real results along this line.
 Mrs. Dillon was coming out Of the Lyric theatre on New Years Eve when someone threw a firecracker in her face. She is at the Woodlawn hospital and doctors have almost given up hope of saving. her sight. There were numbers of other ac- cidents and toy pistols and fireworks contributed largely to the toll Tor the season.
 Commissioner Cloe, pending the presentation of his bill to the legis- lature, served notice that persons shooting firecrackers on downtown streets would be arrested and given the limit in recorders court-seN' !
