be no concern on that score" The
senator also discussed the iron ore
schedule saying If the senate should
reject the act of the committee OF
finance placing duty at 25 cents a ton
on iron ore he would later move that
they put the article on the free list i;

independent mills who are compelled
to buy imported ore. He said he did

GLASS DAY
FULL OF FUN

1t was like a returned to happy
High school days to attend the Class
Day exercises of the Seniors at Cen
tral school building last night. And
big crowd of people were out to en-
joy dt. the large auditorium being fill
ed to the doors and many standing.
The Seniors were turned loose" on
this occasion and allowed to give pa
pers, songs, etc., to their own taste
and without the marring effects of the
cenSor'S blue pencil. It was their
day" and the evening was one of sol
id enjoyment from start to finish. It
was here that the jokes and pranks
OF the school year were aired to the
public and everybody had a good
laugh.
The program opened with song, and
1T was lively one. Following this
came the Junior Alphabet, in which
Miss Ruth Hess, the class poet took
off each member of the Junior Glass
with pun ON his or her initials,
the whole thing being in verse. She
had every junior sized up about right
too.
Oscar Chisum gave what was called
a hatchet grafton. 1t proved to be a
most familiar parts of the orations of
Cicero and other historical orators.
The subject matter was brought down
to date and to High School subjects,
and it was rich.
Miss leila Graves had an original
poem on the faculty, that would not
have been read earlier in the year, for
obvious reasons, but the fun was all
good natured and thoroughly enjoyed
by faculty as we'll as students.
A quartet, composed OF Misses
Graves au'l Sain and Messrs. Van
Horne and Charley HILL was a splen-
did musical effort the song being the
popular Dixie Kid" 1t was wela sung
and greatly enjoyed.
Miss Echo Sain had a clever paper
entitled Seniors in Heaven" and in
this the details of a dream showed
that the Seniors will finally reach the
stations of the highest gods and god
desses in mythology.
Miss Airline Gibbany's class prophecy
was an interesting paper, we'll read.
She found, after many years absence,
that all the Seniors of the r. H. S. 1909
had attained their ideals of success in
life, and some of them had gone a lit
tie higher.
The class as whole then gave
good stunt in the form of a chorus
song, in which an original poem. on
High School topics was set to the
music of Red Wing" The audience
called for an enchore but time pro-
hfbited 1t.
Miss Eunice Pickering depicted the
members OF the faculty in the year
1929, showing each to be in a place Of
high estate and showing that she
understood their natural capabilities.
The paper was we'll written and the
different subjects were cleverly hand
led.
school Jokes" A school newspa-
per, by Gray Hunter, made the hit OF
the evening. In fact it was a bunch
of hits, every one of them stinger.
The paper was rich in wit and humor
and every item had a cracker.
The program closed with the popu-
lar song. school Days" by the en-

NEW YORK'S SODOM.
MacNicholl Gives Figures Showing Al. coholism Among School Children.

From the New York World.
 The following signed statement was given out Friday by Dr. T. Alexander MacNicholl:
 "in view of the publicity that has at tended the reading of my papers on The Relation of Alcohol to Child Life and the varied accounts of what that paper contained, it seems proper to me to make the following statement:
 The paper was presented to the Amer ican Medical society for the Study of Alcohol and Other Narcotics-a society composed of medical educators and in- vestigators from every section of the United States, and reported my studies of 3Oo00 children of all ages from in- fancy to 19 years. A few of the facts em- bodied in the paper are as follows:
 These studies reveal conditions exist ing in some sections of our great Ameri- can metropolis that parallel the historic depravity of ancient Sodom conditions with a growing disregard for legal re- straint that are capable of an extension that would endanger the integrity of our municipal life
 "Fifty-eight per cent drink some form
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-20

of alcohol beverage occasionally or at regular intervals; 37 per cent drink one glass of beer a week to five glasses of beer a day; 21 per cent drink wine or spirits. In some groups the percentage Of occasional and regular drinkers runs high as 70 per cent Of these attend ing schools 46 per cent are backward in their studies
 '"Fhe following conclusions may be drawn from my studies of children:
 "First-Alcohol in the form of beer and spirits does not overcome the dis turbances of nutrition due to q bad hy genic environment.
 .Second-Alcohol tends to lessen all the bodily forces, mental, moral, and physical.
 ''Third-The heaviest burden entailed by indulgence in alcoholic beverages Is not borne by the thinker, but by his in- noeent and debilitated children.
 My report was intended solely for scientific investigators whose co-opera- tion l requested in a more exhaustive and comprehensive study"

Lawsuit Lasts $40 Years.
From Tit-Bits.


 A final statement has just been made in a lawsuit which had been pending in the courts of Mexico for 340 years.
 The dispute arose between the local au- thorities of the towns of Yodocome and Munu, over the question of the legal boundary line between the two villages Both towns held titles to the same land, the conflicting grants being made by the colonial government. The titles held nri- vate parties were also invilved. and each town brought suit against the other for the land claimed to be justly due it.
 The suit dragged along for the first hundred years. one legal step after an- other being taken by the contending towns. Another century passed, and then another, and still the suit was undecided. During all this time the people of the re- spective towns were arrayed against each other In bitter enmlty. and many have been the armed conflicts that have taken place between the opposing factions.
 The father of President Porfirio Diaz was a native of Yodocome and stood high
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-20

in the little country community because of his mental ability. He took an active interest in the long-pending suit, and during his lifetime made every effort to get final decision of the case. He was unsuccessful, and the years dragged by. President Diaz gave the matter his per- sonal attention not long ago, and the an- clent records relating to the land grants and the conflicting boundary were care fully examined.
 The matter was then laid before the people of the two towns, and after many conferences q settlement of the case was reached and the suit in court was for mally dismissed. It is said to have held a place on the court docket longer than any suit in the worlds history.
