MONEY VALUE TO
 CITY ENORMOUS
Publishing Houses Have Made Nash vile Third Largest Consumer of Printers Ink in the
 United States
By HUGH ". RonERTs

Nashville. June 27.-tSpecial.) .)-while a resident of Birmingham glories in the marvellous growth of the Magic City he cannot fall to appreciate the successful efforts of another city which has growth unassisted by incomparable natural re- sources.
 Nashville, for instance. is not the center of lmitless coal field, field which contains inexhaustible mineral ores. And yet as a result of its own effort, it has grown into one of the great cities of the south. During the last decade property values have been doubled; the number of small diversified industries has been practically doubled; postofice recelpts have been tripled; the value of factory products has been tripled: capital has been almost quadrupled: bank elearIngs have increased by the same ratio and bank deposits today are i've times what they were in 1900.
 In the beginning. Nashville had it's fer tile acres. its industrious, intelligent, hardy people. And then-Nashviiie got Its school.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM

As a matter of fact. the Institution out of which grew the univarsity Of Nash vile was founded before Nashville was a city. or Tennessee a state. North Caro- lima, in 17s4. set aside of its terfstory 2p acres for the accommodation 4 a col lege. Davidson's academy was founded. The people nurtured the young institution. and in 1894. it was transformed into Cum berland college. In 1925 Cumberland col ege became the University of Nashville
 In 1867. George Peabody a wealthy mer- chant of Baltimore. founded the George Peabody College for Teachers Nashville nurtured this institution. It grew and prospered. Today the University of Nash vile has fused with Peabody, and the united institutions will in the near fu- ture enter a completed home of magnlh- cent structures on campus just opposite that of Vanderbilt.
 In 1874, Cornelius Vanderbilt the old commodore founded Vanderbilt univer- sity. He was hopeful that as a result of his efforts, the wound of the south and of the north would be healed The people of Nashville rallied to the support of Vanderbilt. That university grew and prospered And in the meantime at- tracted by the support which these peo- pie were giving other institutions of learning. smaller colleges came. Among these were schools for girls, schools of religion, of biblical instruction, of law, Of medicine, of science-and schools for negroes Today Nashville Is rightly called the Athens of the south.

BIRMINGHAM MERCHANTS TO NET $166,667 YEARLY

In previous articles this correspondent has endeavored to show and prove by concrete examples that a college builds up, develops territory, makes of bald praires, hustling suburbs of sterling bus mess and beautiful homes. Vanderbilt has made West Nashville a beautiful res- idential district. The removal of Peabody from south Nashville has destroyed that section of the city for purposes of real estate ypeculation. It has already been shown that Nashville students from a distance. students to the number of 12,00O. spend in Nashville annually an estimated sum of s6,00O,00O This money Is expended not for the necessities of life, but for the luxuries And as a result the margin of proft-and the profit is the money which enriches a city--is large. A business man who for many years has shared in this profit declared today that in his opinion s2.000, GOO net was the sum left in Nashville. as a permanent fund. each year-this from 12,O00 nonresident students attend- ing Naehville's educational institutions.
 The Methodists will establish college, the cost of building and equipment of which will be s5.000,O0o The college, sup ported as 1t will be. will have an attend- ance of 1000. These students will spend in Birmingham each year s50o,o00 A net profit will be gained by merchants of $166,667.

NASHVILLE DEVELOPED
 WITH ITS COLLEGES

The growth of Nashville has been con current with the growth of it's colleges Without Nashville the colleges could not have prospered. Without the colleges Nashville could not nave grown.
 For as soon as the fact was recognized that Nashville had facilities for educa- tlon, people moved. to Nashville. Homes were builded and offices established. Bus mess houses sprung up. Industries were founded and developed. The citIsenry be- came affluent, happy with success, and educated.
 And today Nashville Is a great, indus trious, rich and refined city. It's colleges are strong. representative, financially sue cessful. In the beginning 1t Is probable that the colleges were more dependent or Nashville than Nashville on the colleges Today there is scarcely question but that the colleges contribute more to Nashville than Nashville to the colleges And in this way one has again reached the point in discussion--"Of what value tc a large, established city Is large. es. tablished university?"

HARRIS FIRED FROM
 NAVAL ACADEMY
Mississippi Midshipman lmpersonated Another Man at Examinations and
 Is Dishonorably Discharged

Annapolis Md. June 27--M. P Harris of Mississippi. young enlisted man in the navy, tonight was escorted to the boundaries of the government reserva- ton at Annapolis and there dishonorably discharged from the service because he had impersonated another man in an ex- animation for admission to the Naval academy as a midshipman.
 Harris won a designation from United States Senator Williams to take the en- trance tests under a new plan of Secre- tary of the Navy Daniels for. the benefit of enlisted men He passed the tests and later took the place of T. B. Longre. also of Mississippi. and passed the first ex- amina ton for him in Virginia. When Longre appeared at the Naval academy to take the physical test the deception was discovered because his handwriting did not agree with that in the first ex- animation papers.
 Although kept in ignorance eof the in- vestigation and told that he was suffer- ing from slight physical defect, Longre left Annapolis when publicity was given to the affair and did not return.

1 MILITANTS BOMBARD KING AND QUEEN. WITH
 BUNDLES OF PAPERS
Royal Couple Takes Shower Good Naturedly, But Women Are Threat
 ened by Angry Crowd

London, June 27.-Militant suffragettes today bombarded King George and Queen Mary with leaflets at the entrance to Hyde park. A bundle of the papers knocked the Kings hat sideways and the Queens pafaso caught another shower of pamphlets.
 Two women were seized by the police and carried away struggling. The King and Queen treated the incident with good humored indifference. which they always exhibit when suffragette demonstrations ere made. The King smiling tossed one of the bundles of papers into the roadway and their drive continued.
 The crowd showed a different spirit. Spectators rushed for the women and they would have been badly mauled had not the police rallied around them The two women arrested were held more for their own protection than because of their offense. They were charged with insulting behavior, but were released on their own recognizance.
