MOTOR CLUB AIDED
 BY CONSOLIDATION
Affiliation Of Bessemer Organi- zation Is Favorable Development

The most favorable development ill the improvement and organization plans of the Birmingham Motor club during the last week was an indorsement of the Bessemer Chamber of Commerce and the subsequent utilization of the Bessemer Motor club, which had pre- viously been a branch of similar parent body, with the local club.
 This announcement was made at a meeting of the club. Thursday night and received the hearty approval of its members. That the Bessemer Chamber of Copmerce was unanimous in its in dorsement was considered remarkable tribute to the aims of local organiza- tion. sS
 One of the principal phases of the work being undertaken by the Birming- ham Motor club, and which received considerable attention at the meeting, was the work of obtaining more good roads in the state. In line with this plan, J. R. Fairman, district engineer of the Portland Cement association, ex- plained concrete roadways to the mem bers. MT. Fairman dealt with local conditions and furnished statistics of tests to prove the wearing qualities of concrete.
 The meeting was the first held under new officers and directors. The off cars are: A. R. Pryor, president; T. H. Hanna, vice president; A. E. Kum- mer, secretary; E. F. Allen, treasurer, and c. A. Whitehead, manager.
 The next regular session of the motor club will be in the form of public meeting in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium March Il. A speaker from Chicago will be on the program. a.

Cleverly Caught

In consequence of tip" re-
Gently received by the Fish and
came Department, wardens were
detailed for special duty at Weber
Pond. While inspecting some
parties within few days with A
view OF ascertaininS if they had any
snort fish or more than the limit
and were equipped with licenses,
the wardens noticed another party
acting rather suspiciously-he had
the appearance of trying 10 make 4
"get-a-way." Suddenly he reached
into the bottom of his boat and
threw overheard n bucket Of fish.
Warden Upton sternly commanded
him to halt, rowed quickly to the
side OF his boat and rescued the

law permits the person to take.
In consequence of this incident 4
fine of $50. and costs taxed at sG.G2
will be paid by the fisherman IN

Two other cases for having short

by the warden on the same trip.
The Wardens deserve special com

in this matter. Had they not been

have detected the short fish. Citi-

of fish in Weber Pond are highly
pleased with the results secured in
this case.
