(state- Capital Bureau. ]


 MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 18.- Dr. s. ". Welch, state health officer, was in Selma Monday, having gone there to look into the matter of malaria control The sum of $10,000 has been appropriated for this work by Selma and Dallas county, while the state board of health is furnishing a sanitary engineer to supervise the work.
 Farmers of Alabama are beginning to recognize the economic value of birds to agriculture, according to I. T. Quinn, state commissioner of game and fish cries, who returned today from attend ing the meeting of the Marion County Farm Bureau, where he delivered an ad- dress on conservation problems.
 'It is estimated" declared MT, Quinn, ''that not less than $20,OO0, ,000 worth of food supply from orchard field and garden, are destro9ed in Ala bama alone, annually. This amount oi waste, if saved, would erect ten consol dated high schools in each of the sixty. seven counties of the state at an ap. proximately cost of $30,000 each.
 '"The best natural check on our crops against insect pests is the insectivorous birds of Alabama.
 'The sportsmen put up the money to give adequate protection to all forms of wild life, and the farmer owns the land and produces the food and feed for it. They have a common interest. The farmer knows if it were not for the game and fish protection fund created and maintained by the sportsmen of the state, that the game and fish hogs, the market hunters end destructionists would soon annihilate wild life in Ala bama; that soon the song and insectiv- orous birds, now protected, would be slaughtered, and with these valuable assets destroyed, insect devastation would increase the annual cost of pro- duction to the farmer.
 "I found the sentiment among the farmers and sportsmen of North Ala bama strong for the big statewide con servation conference which will be held in Montgomery, September 10-11 and a large number of them will attend the convention"

ca which he has to consider contains believe this after attending one of the commissioners early morning soirees on Mulberry street, when the days catch is paraded before the detectives.
 There will always be crime in a large city, of course,p said Commission CT Enright. But New York's crime level is away below that of most of the large cities"
 That may be accounted for by the commissioners direct methods. The other night gang of the Hght-hearted lads we used to call yeggs was caught breaking into downtown office, Ten hard-boiled-
 Did you know that the term "hard- boiled" was first applied to yeggs by yeggs? Now it's every day slang. Anyhow, there was a drayload of two listed civic guards on watch and they beat that mess of yeggs into a creamy batter. Some couldn't crook a finger for hours.
 The fact that the detectives were on the watch is fairly good proof that the police defense of the city is an efficient one. A hard population here, too, with more Jews than Jerusalem and more Italians than Naples and more Germans than Hamburg. Not that am slanging these good people, but merely indicating the racial mixture here. Criminals from all over the world have found this a city of refuge.
 Eventually we must show some com mon sense," said the commissioner And have a national Identification bu- reau. The proper place for it is Wash. ington and the cost would be about a quarter of a million dollars a year If that bureau were in existence we could keep track of every criminal, just as Great Britain and France and Ger. many, do."
 Nowadays a man may be a known criminal in one town, but all he has tc do is to move to another town to find himself unknown. There are, literally tens of thousands of part-time crimi nals of that sore, said Enright. It if an ideal condition for the criminals One wonders why all the criminals oi the world do not come here, instead oi only part of them.
 Maybe they will.
