BRIDE FROM
HER FRIENDS
BY JOHN p. FACAON.

The problem of making appro-
pirate wedding presents is no
longer the task that it used to
be. OF course, if one proceeds
along the old method of pur-
chasing without forethought,
without knowing what to buy or
where to buy, the problem is one
difficult of solution.
Today. however, merchants
who make specially of appro-
pirate wedding gifts advertise
them in THE PALLADIUM. BY
reading these advertisements
closely and constantly every
night you will be able to choose
1t your leisure, know just what
you want and purchase to best
advantage.
Among the most pleasing gifts
for the Bride are Sterling Silver
ware, Electric or Gas Lamps,
Glassware, Cut Glass, Hand
Painted China, Dinner Ware,
Labor-saving Household Utensils
and novelty Furniture. All
these things are advertised in
THE PALLADIUM from time to
time by Richmond's most relia-
BILE merchants.
Keep your eye on the adver-
tisements which appear in The
Palladium-they will keep you
posted on the new things just

everything you buy with fore
thought.

Meeting Yesterday With the
Teachers Lasted Three
hours-Teachers Will Hold
Election This Afternoon.
WILL NOT CONSIDER
ROBBINS PROPOSAL
Teachers Finally Admit There
Are Bad Points in Pension
Law-Jordan Quotes Presi-
dent Kelly.

After session yesterday afternoon
which lasted for nearly three hours
the teachers of the public schools of
the city were unable to convince the
board of education that the Teachers
Pension law is just one to all par
designate where the election of a
commission, as provided in the law,
would take place and further refused
to specify as to the kind of election
as required by the law.
To Meet Late Today.
Undaunted by the hostile action of
the board toward the act, motion was
made and passed by the teachers pres
ent that they meet in room 20 of the
high school at o'clock this afternoon
and elect a principal and two teachers
to be members of the pension fund
commission. The other two members
of the commission, the city superin-
tendent and the president of the board
are appointed by the provisions of the
law.
insofar as the election, according
to the law, must be held under the
Jurisdiction of the board of education,
the members of the board believe the
election of the teachers and principal
this afternoon will be illegel. Presi-
dent Johnston, of the board, will re-
fuse to act as member of the com
mission alleging that three members
of the commission will have been ell
ected illegally. s....--..s-.--. -.-. ...
Compromise Proposed.
A compromise was proposed by At
torney John Robbins representing the
teachers today. Mr.. Robbins declared
that Mr. Jordan was opposed to the
idea of giving a pension, under any
consideration, though the latter was
one of the first to recommend that the
law be put into effect when he thought
it a reasonable law. The compromise
us to the effect that the teachers of
the city who could come under the
provisions of the law will bind them
selves in written contract not to &C
cept any money raised by taxes until
the law has been amended by the next
legislature. Mr.. Robbins did not agree
with the members of the board that
forty years should pe the minimum
time the teachers should teach before
they receive a pension. Thirty years
should be the limit, Mr. Robbins be-
lieves.
There Are FaIIacies.
The teachers of the city expressed
their attitude toward the law yester-
day afternoon in a clear and concise
manner. The teachers say they realize
that there are fallacies in this pension
law but believe the legislature would
amend this law rather than frame a
new one This is contrary to the belief

NAME 5 CITIZENS
]. To DISPOSE Of
SPEEDWAY
Auto Association Aims to Get
100000 for Tract to Ben
eft Stockholders.

S. B. thurman, chairman; Morris
Brandon, Forrest Adair, J. T. Hole
man and NJ. L. Thrower today were APP
pointed as a special committee to
evolve a plan for converting the At
lanta Automobile association into a
landholding company, and to dispose of
the Atlanta speedway, which is said to
be worth 100000 for the benefit of
the stockholders
This decision was reached at a meet
ing held this morning at the Atlanta
Chamber OF Commerce rooms. at which
about 80 members were present Re-
ports were submitted showing that the
company, which is capitalized at $125.-
900. is indebted approximately $4,000.
Two mortgages aggregating about
1882, 900 are held against the land.
For some time the association has
been considering disposing of the speed
way. which comprises about 300 acres,
with the least possible loss to the stock
holders. The automobile racing game
virtually has died QUE in this section
and the speedway under present con-
ditions ties up a lot of money without
any advantage to the owners.
Two plans for the disposal of the
property were considered at the meet
ing. One suggestion was to obtain an
extension of the car line to the prop
erty, cut it up into lots and sell it as
q residence district.
Another plan mentioned is to get a
spur track from the Central OF Geor-
gia railroad, which passes near the
property, and dispose of the ground as
acreage for manufacturing purposes.
After considerable discussion, Asa G.
Gambler, Jr.. suggested that the whole
question be referred to a committee of
FIVE men, the committee to formulate
plan for changing the association into
a iandholding company and report back
TO a stockholders meeting later. The
motion was adopted
The estimated value Of the property
is $500, 900.
