It all the city people could hear the spokesman for the school board de- scribe the necessity for the issuance of $400,000 asked for, there could be no doubt of its being passed. Only by an informal talk, such as the board o! finance and taxation and the mayor had with the representatives or the school board at their last meeting can the need be understood.The city meet- ing board must accept the report of the appraisers, take the Normal Building, and pay the amount of the appraisement t:.erefor, $116,000, when the state turng over the new plant, for which an appropiation of $750, 000 has been passed by the legilature. Tha recommendation for the trans- fer of $20,000 from the permanent pavement fund to tho board of chari- ties will .undoubtedly be acted upon favorably when the members of tha city meeting board are shown tha money already spent by the charity department and the need there will be —already is—for more. This is a work that cannot be allowed to stop. There can be no hesitation about taking the $10,000 from the state and appropriating it to the charity depart- ment We had expected that the amount would be but $8,500—tha extra $1:500 will help out. It is due —for this worlk, including deportation Spaniards. Certainly the issue of $50,000 for street bonds is advisable in the light of the situation here which has been Kkept so well under control here, com- paratively speaking. The next city meeting board session should bo all harmony. But special attention is called to the fact that anyone may file objec- tion, modifications or changes in tho . matter to be brought up,five days be- fora the meeting—in other wordi by Detober 15. » No change or modificationa of the Proposals to be acted upon may be " considered at fhe city meeting unless 7 such changes of modifications are filed ‘with the city clerk within that time. No new legislationmay be breught up At the session of the city meeting board unless it is flled and unless it comes under the head of changes, on alterations or modifications. Attention of these facts will save considerable discussion if attempt ia made to present something “out of order.” ol VISITING NURSES The “harder’’ the times the more the need for help such as the Visiting Nurse Association gives. And the nurses have been at It all summer. The monthly meetings were discon- tinued during the hot weather but the good work went on just the same. No one person, least of all one who has not followed the labors f the nurses from day to day during all the hot ‘weather, can tell of the comfort visits and attendance have brought to homes where a baby, or one sickly, lies at the mercy of the world. No one is able to picture in language or paint- ing the suffering of the mother, com- pelled to keep the house, prepare the meals for the family, and try to keep the little baby or the little ones quiet and satisfled. A detailed account of the visits etc. has been given in the Herald. But no figures can present the scene as It appears to physiclan or nurse. Few are the imaginations sympathetic en- ough to understand the relief, the blessing brought by those sent to such a home by the Visiting Nurse Associ- ation. The monthly meeting of the Associ- ation was held Thursday at the home of the president, Mrs. H. M. Bates. The new baby station on Broad street has been a god-send to mothers, and its work will be”continued, if “possible which means probably, if enough funds are forthcoming. It is hard to estimate how many bables’ lives were saved during the past summer by the work of the As- sociation.

Of lourse the story of the actor, being given a handicap, and then de- ‘eating a horse, sounds very muci ike *press stuff” and very possible t although it is as possible for in actor to make a legimitate wager bn a strange stunt as it is for any 'man. And actérs like a little gamble, aow and then. But the point js that there are healthy, strong and decent movin3z plcture men and women, just as there are healthy, strong decent merchants; decency does not lie with any onc class. The awful story which has been’ ‘news” for Some time now, has lost much of its value for the morbid. After the first shocking details came Jut it was news for very few. But such a revulsion at this news of an actor running against a horse, s news indeed and should be made the most of. There are plenty ot “movie actresses” who go to the studiosday by day in hope that they may be given a “part” Instead of be- ing given a chance_merely to appear with a group. Perhaps these young women may help in the support of the family. They, much outnumber the say, highly-paid girls or women who enjoy “continual round of pleasure” poken of as a part of the movies \ctress’ life. Their pay is small. There are men who sit “in the yard” waiting for a chance to make three to five dollars ‘a day that'they may make enough to study or write or do other task that do not require their presence at that time. Walking about the yard of a movie plant one will often find peo- ple—men—of this sort. In many cases there are the strictest rules against men and. women talking together, or taking merely pleasure in their leisure hours. It is only fair to people who have “gone into the game” to give those who deserve it, their due. It is more important to give the other kind theirs, But let us get it out of our heads that all people appearing in the movies are of the stamp that' has branded some of which we have read. is, INCIDENTS OF BOLSHEVISM. “The Bolsheviki arc unable to see why a man wants to change his ciothes at nizht.

JEKYLL and MR. HYDE” 10, 1921. BIRMINGHAM HOLDS BIG CELEBRATION Birthday October 84-29 Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 10. — The chief feature of Birmingham's celebra- tion of her fiftieth birthday during the week of October 24-29 will be the his- torical pageant depicting the half cen- tury of development from a group of cornfields in 1871 to the south’s lead- ing industrial center in 1921. Since the first house was built in Birmingham only 50 years ago, the pageant can present only a half cen- tury of the history of the city itself. The early history of Alabama, golonial days and the Civil War period &nd re- construction will be grouped in a pre- lude. The main pageant will consist of a series of separate episodes show- ing the various periods in the build- ing of Birmingham. Fifteen hundred persons will take part, including a chorus of 500 spe- cially trained voices, and several hun- dred young people who will take the dancing parts. Orchestras and bands will provide the music. The pageant was prepared from a mass of data compiled by local his- torians. The episodes to be presented will show the discovery of coal, iron and limestone in large quantities in sight of the present city of Birming- ham, the construction of the first small, crude iron furnaces, the open- ing of coal mines in what are now the limits of the city, the growth of the city from a crude, rough, lawless min- ing camp, the boom period followed by the financial disaster of the 80's, the period of deflation and then the launching of Birmingham on a firm foundation. 5 Then will come the experiments in steel making, which were finally at- tended by success, the entry of the United States Steel corporation intq Birmingham, following the acquisi- tion oif the properties of the Tennes- see Coal, Iron & Railroad company the construction of many steel mills, the passing of the'city from the raw material to the finished product era. The closing episode will deal with Birmingham of today, a city of 200, 000 people. It will show coal, iron and limestone, the three requisites for steel making found side by side within sight of the many furnaces where pig iron is made, at the side of the giant steel plants where finished steel is made and then converted into all kinds of steel products, where it is. loaded on barges made of Birmingham steel, floated down a river dpen to perennial navigation to Mobile and New Orleans, where it is loaded=into steel ocean liners made of B ing- ham steel by a Birmingham corpora- tion and then sent to every civilized nation of the world. 'One part of the episode will show the opening of the Warrior river to navigation after the government had constructed Lock 17, which has a dam 63 feet high, and two loc with a lift of 31 1-3 feet emch, miore than three feet more than the Gatun locks on Filtieth Observed the Panama Canal. This dam created Lake Bankhead which backs up water more than 60 miles, enabling Birming- ham to tow her products to the gulf pérts. \ Other episodes will depict the pro- gress of Birmingham alohg education- al, socialand civic lines from the carly days when lawlessness was ramp- ant until today when the city lays claim to attractions as a home city second to none. One teaspoonful of good arable soil contains more living organisms than there are human beings in half the United States. PEAR TREE BLOSSOM:! Axel Olson of Elm Hill Reports That He Has Tree With Several Blossoms. A story rivaling those coming from Winsted is heéard from Elm Hill, Newington, in which Mr. Olson re- ports finding a amall pear tree which he set out two years ago with several blossoms. A few days ago an article appeared in one of the state papers saying that an apple tree was found with blossoms and now the report of a pear trez with blossoms. Old-timers say that when a tree blossoms so late in the fall the tree as a rule dies. Put Upson Board on your pay roll! a hint from wise merchants like ‘Wanamaker and Marshall Field! Up- sonize!
