Readjustment Of Express Rates

The state railroad commission is con-
sidering the intrastate rates of the ex-
press companies, particularly the rates
from Mobile on fish and oysters. 1t is
claimed that the Mobile rates are SO low
they have driven Pensacola out of the
trade altogether. A general readjustment
of intrastate express rates is sought by
the express companies
The strangest feature of the hearing is
the absence of all lawyers Officers of
the express companies are conducting
their side does not appear for the people.
general does not appear for the people.
The entire application Is being conducted
before the state railroad commission in
spirit of good will The absence of
lawyers and of all technical questions
promises well. Both sides are anticipat-
ing a readjustment of rates that will
be satisfactory to all, and that will not
call for the immediate establishment of
a parcels post.

More Schools as Well as Free Schools

The board of education took a fine
in the high schools of this city. All the
public schools of Greater Birmingham
are now open to all children of school
age without fee. They are now free
schools. and tuition is offered to all
children in the city without fee or re-
ward.
to the capacity of the city's school
houses. AS plain matter of fact this
city possesses seating capacity for not
school age. one-half are in school and
one-half are not. When in the progress
of our schools compulsory education is
adopted this city would be in a pretty
tickle The children would be ordered
into the public schools and when they
got to the doors only one-half of them
could be admitted.
1t is proposed to issue bonds to the
extent of $4,000 for school purposes, but
the bond proposition will not be adopted
II the bulk of the money is to go to the
building of another high school rather
than to the construction of many more
grammar schools. The city needs both,
but 1t needs additional grammar schools
more than it needs another high school,
as pressing as the latter need is.
The bond proposition should be fully
presented. The amounts to be expend-
ed should be estimated and frank state
ments laid before the voters when the
time comes. Until the grammar schools
are built many children will be deprived
of any benefit from the school system
of the city.

Disposal Of Garbage

f. L. Penruddocke who writes with an
engineers knowledge, leaves but little to
say in favor of modern destroyer of
garbage. He goes on to show that it
could be operated by the city at profit
on the investment even If the proposed
erematory should cost $4,000.
It should be remembered that there is
nothing tentative in a crematory. Many
other cities have them. and they can
be seen in operation in scores of towns
Montgomery will soon have one. These
modern destroyers of garbage are to be
found in nearly every progressive CITY,
and in the course of a few years every
town of $4,000 people will have one.
Only one in a city is needed, especially
lf the city is well equipped with trolley
tracks. Garbage in the suburbs is loaded
into steel cars well covered and these are
,vheeled at night to the centrally located
orematory. The crematory itself is I'M

RAH FOR "LADIES' ADJ
They Furnish Good Things to Eat and
Don't Charge Much

-
THE Office Window in the New York
Mail
When George AIDE gave an "old home
day at his Indiana farm to the Hoosier
exiles of Chicago. one press account re-
cites that 1.-THE Ladies' Aid SOCIETY of
the Methodist church at Kenuand hur-
ried over and fried 450 chickens" The
emphasis of the item is not on the hu-
morist who discovered the market value
of capital letters. nor is 1t on the num-
Der of chickens fried. Tt is on the fact
that a church ladies' aid society got
into the game and turned an honest pen
ny for its charitable fund by undertake
ing the job of catering
That Is what these, societies of church
women are doing all over the country.
Is there village banquet? They pre-
pare 1t. Is there a street fair Of the
Elks, or county fair of the farmers !?
The woman's society starts temporary
restaurant under canvas. The observer
at the Office Window has eaten more
meals than a few prepared by the ladies'
aid society of some village church or
other, and he would not swap their
fried chicken. scalloped oysters, deviled
eggs, mashed potatoes and apple and
pumpkin pie for the most pretentious
meal he has ever had in a Broadway
lobster palace.
These good women use the best of
material. They know how to cook and
how to serve, and they vie with each
other in making their several contribu-
lions to the festal board as appetizing as
may be. Ye observer has often felt mean
when he planked down 25, 80 or so cents
for meal the ladies' ought really to

able spectacles. All garbage and waste,
including ashes, is carried TO the crema-
tory, where the product is steam power
and clinler. The power is utilized in the
creation of arc lights, and the clinker Is
used in the making of better roads.
The subject is certainly one that de-
serves careful consideration by the City
Council and then by the people. The de-
struction of city waste is always a vexed
problem until it is settled right, and
the chances are that it cannot be set
tied right in any city until a modern
crematory Is installed.

ENGLISH WOMEN's FEET
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The short skirts now In vogue in Lon
day are making one fact quite evident:
That Englishwomen's feet are larger than
they were the last time short skirts were
In fashion. A reporter watched a number
of his country women at smart tea shops
and in fashionable thoroughfares and was
convinced that this was the case, so he
went to various shoe stores for condrma-
ton, and there he learned the truth, that
Englishwomen are taking far larger sizes
in shoes than In former days. Substantial
fves and skies are required In place of
the twos and threes which used to be
worn. Indeed, one, shoe dealer inform cd
the reporter that In the last ten years
the lowest size in womens shoes Ind
risen from a two and half to a five
that is, from nine and one-half inch
shoe to a ten-inch shoe. In proportion
as sizes have increased heels have grown
higher, till now it is not an uncommon
sight to see tall Englishwoman adding
to her stature by three and one-half inch
heels, on which she totters along. The
feet Of American women are not getting
larger. say English shoe dealers. In fact
1t is for American sales that the small
sizes are kept at some of the larger shop

STEEL TRUST BUYS CATS

L
A rat got tangled up in one of the
dynamos which supply power for the
great blast furnace mill of the United
States Steel corporation at Gary Ind. 1t
required several hours to separate the
rats remains from the dynamo and in
the meantime the corporation was losing
money at the rate of $1,000 a minute. Now
the Steel trust is advertising for cats.
Advertisements have been inserted in the
Gary newspapers offering SO cents apiece
with no Limitation as to age, sex, size,
pedigree or character
Fifty cents head is a good price for
cats and the officials of the Steel trust
are likely to have to contend with an
embarrassment of offerings. When the
news percolates to all the cities and small
towns of Indiana there will be rush
of feline shipments to Gary, and the
steel trust will find itself with surplus
of cats scarcely less troublesome than
the overplus of rats with which 1t has
been contending heretofore. Hundreds of
Indiana families will willingly part with
all their feline possessions at a COM
pensation of 50 cents per cat Some thou
sands of small boys will explore the al
legs and woodsheds until the last back

Census Figures Do Not Meet Expectations

The population of two large cities only
have been reported by the census bureau
Wilmington. Del. and Washington. Both
were disappointed. Wilmington had fond
" dreamed it had risen to the 10000
bureau marked it 10000 short of the line
1t groaned inwardly. And so it was
with Washington, D. c. 1t had increased
in the previous census q per cent, and
the present census showed an increase of
Is per cent only.
The rate of increase in total population
In the census of 1900 was 2o.s per cent,
and there are many who think the rate
of increase will be shown in the census
of 1910 to have fallen to IS per cent. This,
II true. can be traced TO many things The
birth rate is decreasing, and many imni-
grants are coming here to earn sum of
money in order to return nome. For
merly all immigrants came here to find
permanent homes. Now many come ex-
pecting to return to their old homes. And
many Italians do go back every year. A
skain of Is per cent in 10 years is large
uenough. It is healthful rate, and in
the decade Just begun the rate Of in
crease may fall as low as Is per cent
The tendency at any rate is toward g.
lower rate of increase in each succeed
ing decade.
In the census of 1900 this increacs Of
urban population was ss.s per cent. The
rate of increase in Washington disclosed
In the present census was IS per cent,
and the rate In Wilmington was less
than 80 per cent The general urban in
crease may fall from S6.S per cent in 1900
to something less than 30 per cent in 1910.
The Forthcoming urban figures are eager
ly but nervousy awaited.
