The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclu-
sion that the general accepted IL
imitation of human life is many
years below the attainment posi-
bic with the advanced knowledge
of which the race is now possess
sed. The critical period, that de-
termines its duration, seems to be
between 90 and 60; the proper
care of the body during its decade
cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longe-

 we have fallen upon a time when it behooves every thoughtful citizen whose political beliefs are based on reason and who cares enough Tor his manIiness and duty to save them from barter to realize that the organiza- tion of the party of his choice needs watching and that at times 1t is not amss critically to observe its direc- ton and tendency.

TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOLS Parents and Teachers
 Unite.
 ASSOCIATION IS FORMED President of Woman's Club Fedora
 tion Makes Address. Hrs. W. A. Gayle Made President of New society, to Increase Em-
 cheney of Means of Educa-

After a thoroughly interesting and comprehensive talk by Mrs. J. D. Maflock of Birmingham, chairman of the State Committee of the Federa- tion of Womens Clubs for organizing School Improvement Associations, be- fore an audience of representative club women of Montgomery and teachers in the vaious schools of the city, the Montgomery School improvement As- sociatiun was organized yesterday morning at the Girls High School, with thirty-five members. All teach CTS in Montgomery schools were made ex- x-officio members of the Associa- tion.
 The following officers to serve for one year were unanimously elected |; Mrs. w, A. Gayle. president; Mrs. B. J Baldwin, vice-prsidnt; Mrs. w Ii. Seymour, secretary, and Mrs. Leon Greil. treasurer
 Mrs Matlock is well known through out the State for the work which she is accomplishing for the cause or education. Representing as she does the club life of the State that great body of Alabama women who when once a cause is espoused recognize no obstacles, she came to Montgomery with a distinct purpose in view anl here. as elsewhere, her efforts were crowned with success.
 Professor c. l.. Floyd was unani- mously elected temporary chairman for the organization of the asoscia- tion and Miss Sachs was elected tenn porary secretary.
 The chairman appointed the follow ing committees.
 On Constitution: Mrs. Lila Little. Miss Elizabeth Davie and Mrs. w. H Seymour.
 On Nomination: Mrs. H. c. Gum nels. Miss Nimmo Green, Mrs. J. l.. Cobbs.
 Professor Floyd introduced Mrs. Matlock. and spoke enthusiastically Of the work which she is doing, and or the benefit of such an organization to the schools of Montgomery.
 pr. B. J. Baldwin, chairman of the Board of Education, occupied seat on the rostrum with the speaker ana when called on by the chairman, re- sponded in characteristic talk on the subject, which is of great interest to him In behalf of the School Board. he warmly endorsed the organization of the association.
 Mrs Matlock in her address spoke first of the purpose of the associa- tion and then went at greater length into her subject, telling what has al- readc been accomplished in number of cities where there are associations for the improvement of the conditions and the environments of the schools. She said in part:
 "As some of you may not know Of the committee I represent, I think ie would not be amiss for me to tell you Womething of the beginning of this work in Alabama. A little more than two years ago our State Superinten- aent of Education. MT. Hill. knowing the good that had been accomplished

CLAIMS DAMAGES.

Woman Wants $500 From Man Who
 Caused Her Arrest Falsely.
 A damage suit was brought by Mrs. V. P. Culpepper against J. A. Davis. claiming $500 for false arrest. Is set for trial without a jury today before Judge Sayre in the civil divison of the City Court.
 Mrs. Culpepper was arrested on a warrant sworn to by J. A. Davis be- fore Justice Taylor of West End, charg- ing her with obtaining money under false pretenses She was convicted in that court, but on appeal to the City Court the case was nolle pressed by the solicitor. The suit for false arrest followed her release.

in other States by school improvement associations. suggested to some of the members of the Alabama Federation of Woman's Clubs. at that time in session at Mobile, that that organiza- tion foster such a movement in Ala bama.
 The purposes of the organization are to awaken among the people a keener interest in the schools. to bring about a closer union of pupil parent and teacher to cultivate the principles of self help and self reli' ance, and to secure better material equipment for the schools.
 -The plan is adapted to all classes of schools from the rural school to the city system. the form of organiza- ton varying to suit local conditions There are now about fifty organiz- ations in the State and the reports from some of these which were sub mitted at the Agricultural Fair here last fall justify the existence of the movement.
 We have city associations at Birm- ingham and Selma, and Mobile Is get ting ready to organize.
 Teachers cannot secure the best re- suits without the sympathy and CO., operation of the parent, and how can the parent give intelligent sympathy
  contact with the schools. Many of us are prone to say the schools should do this or that or should have this or that without realizing our own respon- sibiIity for present conditions The schools are what the people will they shall be.
 ~The child spends more of his walk ing hours at home or any where else. hence 1t should not be an unattrac- tive place of drudgery. It should have all possible clemens of comfort, beau ty and refinement which pertain to the home.
 The question may arise In some minds: Why doesn't the school board supply these needs?' The school board usually makes the best use possible of the money at it's disposal and the members will gladly welcome the help of the patrons and friends of the schools in supplying any lack of equipment and in creating public sen timent in favor of increased appre, priations for the schools.
 The purpose of the School Improve ment Association as outlined by Mrs Matlock in continuance of her sub ject, Is for making more beautiful and more attractive the environments of the child when at the age when im' pressions count for most in it's life She paid a tribute to the patient ef' forts of the school teachers and the school boards along this line. and ex- plained the practical impossibility of teachers or school boards to do more than they are doing at this time.
 Several teachers in the Montgomery schools made short talks in support of the movement and when the motion was made for the organization of an Improvement Association in Montgom- cry, the vote was unanimous that the association be organized without fur ther delay.
 For the present the bylaws and constitution of the State Association will be adopted for the government of the local branch.
 The first regular meeting of the new association will be held on the first Tuesday of March, at the Girls High School. the hour to be decided by the President

terial advancement so fully justifies. Its limitless resources, it's astonish- ing growth, its unapproachable indus trial development, and its irrepressi- ble inventive genius have made it the wonder of the century.
 Land That Lives i'm us.
 "The land we live in seems to be strong and active. But how fares the land that lives In us? Are we sure that we are doing all we ought to keep 1t in vigor and health? Are we keeping its roots well surrounded by the fertile soil of loving allegiance, and are we furnishing them the invi- gorating moisture of unselsh fidelity?
 'rhe land we live in is safe so long as we are dutifully careful of the land that lives in us. But good in- tentions and fine sentiments will not meet the emergency. If we would be- stow upon the land that lives In us the care 1t needs, 1t Is indispensable that we should recognize the weak ness of our human nature, and our
