UTOPIA TENANTS
TO OWN APART MENT
Will Be Real "Communy. y
To Have Competent Jani-
tor-Opens Soon.

A community apartment house. run
on Utopian basis, with every man in
his own home and each tenant his own
landlord, is the unique experiment TO
be put in operation by seven prominent
Washingtonians next month.
The scheme is not the dream Of an
Upton Sinclair but is within a few
weeks Of realization. It's supporters
have put real money intof the project,
and an apartment house on Ontario
road. opposite the Ottario Apartments,
will be ready for occupancy next month.
When the last touches have been put
on the building. six OF the persons in
terested will move in. All will probably
be ensconced in the communal fat about
October 1.
A Silent Partner.
The agreement to build the apartment
was reached about six months ago by
seven persons. They are George T.
Bowerman. DR.. L. a. Bauer, DR.. Victor
f. Clark, Charles f. Edgerton, Mrs. g.
II Sumner, and l. D. Underwood.
Mr. Bowerman, librarian OF the Pub
lie Library. is one OF the prime movers
in the plan, and DR.. Bauer is chief of
the magnetic survey OF the Smithsonian
Institute
These six persons will occupy the flats.
A seventh and silent partner" will
manage the building Another unusual
feature is the announcement that a
competent" jaEtor will be engaged.
Fseh tenant vii have his apartment

viii be none OF the sameness that usual
~ pervades tine various suites of an
apartment house.
The troubles OF the apartment house
terant were directly a the bottom of
the plan to build a structure OF this
kind on a cooperative basis. Several
meetings OF a little cOterie OF dissatis-
fed ones were held last winter and
spring, followed by a decision to make
bold declaration of independence
methods. and build Gn apartment which
may be made into a YeTitable utopia by
being properly managed.
From the very first, the movement
has prospered and now, as the time for
the opening up OF the building draws
near. the incorporators and tenants-to-
be are in a state Of feverish excite
ment3 so eager are they 20 give prac-
teal demonstration of how TO run an
apartment house in the right way.
Building Costs $4,000.
The building is three stories high.
The total outlay In erecting it will be in
the neighborhoed Of $4,000 The tenants

School Money In the Counties

The state appropriates to the pub lie schools s350,O0O plus 3-mill tax on each dollar of assessable valua- tion. This gives this year $1,79S, ,416, as against $1,719,590 in the last fiscal year In other words, 3S0042 white children and 307,232 negro children will get the benefit of $261 apiece, as against $2.49 last year. Jefferson coun- ty will get back $156,7O9 for the ben eft of it's public schools. No other county crosses or even approaches the hundred ed-thousand-dollar line.
 The sum stated does not include the poll taxes or the local supple ments These would carry the per capita allowance up to at least S3, but even when all moneys are reck- oned in the per capita allowance in Alabama is no doubt the lowest in the Union. Some states have a per capita allowance approximately $20.
 Instead of spending so much money on extra sessions and on institutions that the few attend every effort should be made to increase the per cap ita appropriation to the 6S7274 chil- dren who must get whatever education they are to receive in the public schools. Let no one think that Ala bama is doing her full duty by her children. She is doing better each year, but she is still far below the average standard of the 46 states Either the per capita allowance should be increased or else the right of local option taxation for school purposes should be granted, or both.

A GRoTEsQuE THEORY.

Prof. William A. Locy in The Popular
 Science Monthly
 In the beginning the revival of learning there were fantastic and grotesque mis- conceptions. The idea of the resurrec- uon bone was one of these-the belief that In the body there was an indestruc- tible bone that formed the nucleus of the resurrection body. This view was dem onstrated to be untenable by yesalius. the reformer of anatomy in the sixteenth century, and the forerunner of the mor- biologists of zoology. Other points about the structure of man and animals, eoual- ly fantastic were unheld, and against one who ventured to disbelieve in them the cry of heretic was raised. We may at nrst sight think that crude misunder- standings are harmless vagaries: but when viewed as to their consequences we see that this class of superstititons has led to intolerance and prosecutions. If IS one of the blessings of progress that mankind has been relatively freed from prosecutions of this nature These ero- tesque beliefs and superstinons vera d1spelled by advances in the knowledee or the organization of animals. Wherever, investigation in this territory prospered. IL shed light and dispelled error.

Roads Here and Elsewhere

The visit of President Going and Commissioners Rogers and Hagler in Atlanta must have convinced them that Jefferson county is tagging in the good roads movement. Atlanta is building better roads and it is ex- perimenting with both tar and oil, and with all other materials that 1t can economically assemble.
 Commissioner Rogers talk con corning roads in Mondays Age-Herald should be read in every part of Jeff ferson county. He asks the people of the richest and most populous county in the state to consider the subject of roads. He more than sug gests that it is poor economy to build roads that are never wholly satisfac- tory and that ever call for repairs. He asks the people of the county to ask themselves whether a bond is- sue and really high-grade modern roads are not, after all, the more economical and the more useful in the long run The example of Atlanta is near at hand, and nearly every sec tion~ of the country is waking up to the need of better roads-to the build- ing of permanent roadways that will not have to be rebuilt. MT. Rodgers views and his story, it is insisted, should be read and discussed through out the county, and throughout the state, for that matter, for no part of Alabama has roads up to the mod ern standard-up, in fact, to the roads built in the days of Ancient Rome, which are still good and sound and useful highways, after having served the people nearly 200O years. A great awakening on this subject is needed in Alabama.
