 Convicted persons in the Birmingham and Ensley courts paid an average of $7.55 in fines. the entire assessment amounting to $1S,972.
 Other highlights of the report are, 1: Intoxication was the cause of more arrests than any other charge, with the exception of traffic violations, 273 be- ing listed under this head; gaming netted 265; liquor law violators came next with 17G. and disorderly conduct was fourth with a total of 130.

YOUNG ORATORS
 SEEKING BOOKS.
 0NCONSTITUTION
Libraries Swamped And Auburn Has Issued Spe-
 cial Documents Free

-.f Fy- -. .
 Such great interest is being mani fested by the High school students of the state in the National Oratorial Contest sponored by the Age Herald, that the libraries of the state report they are unable to furnish reference books in, large enough quantity to meet the demand. So many students are participating, and such a number of citizens have begun really to study the constitution, that there are no books bearing on the subjects left on the shelves of the libraries. -..--.,
 In order to meet the situation of a shortage of reference books the Age Herald takes pleasure in announcing that the Extension Bureau of Auburn Tech has prepared a special package library dealing directly with the con stitution and with the founders and builders of the constitution, and that tained free of charge upon request.
 The Age-Herald wishes to lay stress upon the fact that these package librar- ies sent out free by Auburn are most complete and will prove highly bene- ficial to every reader. They contain practically all the information needed in the preparation of q good oration on any of the subjects required in the contest. Also, they are so concrete and definite that they very vividly picture the formation and growth of the constitution of the United States, and in reality they contain so much helpful constructive information on the fundamentals of the government that they are of great value to every citizen.
 The interest that is awakened in the contest far surpasses the fondest hopes of the management. Since the date of announcement, February 3rd letters, tele erams, and messages of commenda- tion every day have been received. It has met with approval everywhere. The schools and students have responded in a most noteworthy manner, and present indications are that all the leading schools of the state will be well represented. In number of them, this contest has been the means of establishing regular course ion the constitution as part of the regular curriculum. In still greater number regular scholastic credit is being given participants, and in some cases, the entire High chool is engaged in the contest.
 Any soaools not yet registered may do so by communicating with the oratorical contest manager, 1926 Age Herald building, Birmingham. Regis tration consists only of notifying the oratorial contest manager of the schools willingness to participate. As an- nounced, there are no obligations at- tached to this contest for any partici- pant--no subscription campaign, cou- pon clipping, or other services. It is purely and honestly a,scontribution by this newspaper to Raise the standard of American citizenship" and the par ticipation of every High school and st"dent of the sta, is invited.

BOARD ACCEPTS
 PARK ACREAGE
Milner Calls Attention To Gift Of Land On Red Mountain
 To Birmingham

II. K. Milner, president of Milner Land company, Wednesday appeared before the park board and announced that two years ago he had presented to Birmingham a mountain side park overlooking the entire city but that no notice had ever been taken of the matter by the city commission.
 The park board members expressed their appreciation and said they would be glad to take charge of the property. Mir. Milner stated that it was valued at between $50.OOO and $75,0O0. It is about 120O feet long and averages 150 feet in width.
 The company has graded the street beside the park at cost of $27,00O and alongside has reserved right of way for street car line which it is expected will ultimately be built along the mountain crest.
 With proper care it was pointed out, this will prove a delightful recreation spot.

l CRIMINAL DOCKET
 STILL GUMMED UP'
City Appeal Cases Continues To
 Swamp Special Judges

In spite of the presence in Birming- ham since early ill January of special judges transferred from other circuits for the trial of city appeal cases, no progress has been made In reducing the number of these cases awaiting trial in circuitt court.
 The February report of Forney W. Brandon, clerk of court, made public Wednesday reveals that, in the at tempt of the county courts to dispose of cases more rapidly than they can be appealed from the city court, the contest has resulted in a tie. The total number of city appeal cases awaiting trial March 1 was 1,S49, exact the same number reported for Jan uary 1.
 County officials do not complain at the speed at which the special judges dispose of these cases. The records show that 257 were handled during January, or an average of about II a day; while the February total was even larger, amounting to But during January 236 new cases were filed, followed by BIO in February. The record for February l showed that tuC "uIllAS blGL Hhu UecElr TSuuccu Dy 21 cases, while the figures as of March l show that it had been in- creased by 21> cases.
 Advocates Law Firm
 Some step should be taken to pre- vent this constantly increasing number of city appeal cases from tanning up the circuit court docket" q county official said in discussing the problem. No mater how fast we handle them here, it is hard to dis pose of them as papidly as they come up."
 A plan has been suggested to re- duce them by reducing the fine imposed ill the lower courts, so that they may be paid at once and the case dropped An appeal usually follows the impo- sition of a heavy fine, it was pointed out when the matter was first men tioned. With crowded docket, it is often necessary to wait several months before such a case can be reached in it regular order; and by that time witnesses have disappeared. It is then necessary either to pass the case toa later date, which does not re- lieve the docket, or nol-pros it and free the defendant.
 The report of February shows that 449 caes were disposed of during the month, or exactly the same number that were filed. These resulted in a total of 108 convictions and included 14 capital crimes, 88 felonies, 5S mis- demeanors and 2S9 city appeal cases.
