M'GUGIN PREPARING
 FOR CAROLINA GAME

Nashville. Tenn, October 21.-(Special.) Coach Bleutehnthal, one of the North Carolina coaches. and the several Vir- Einia scouts who occupied seats in the stands at the Central Vanderbilt game Tuesday. found their trip to Nashville to catch a line on tho strength of the McGugin machine without avail. The Commodore coach showed them nothing but straight football and multitude of substitutes.
 In this respect he gained distinct ad- vantage over the Tar-Heel coaches. for he was able to see practically all the phases of the North Carolina attack when in Atlanta Saturday. Not only that but McGugin was accompanied by several of the Commodore stars in order that they might have first hand knowledge of the Tar-Heel offense.
 The famous Princeton shift has Me- Gugin up tree, to use the language of the street, and the practice this week in preparation for the Tar Heel game will te with view to building up defense for this peculiar shift.

TEACHERS PREPARE FOR 'CLEAN-UP' DAY Friday, October 30, to Be One of Banner Days of
 School Year

Montgomery. October 2l.-tSpecial) Teachers all over Alabama are preparing to make "clean-up and school improve ment day. which has been set for Fri day, October 30, one of the banner days of the school year. Hundreds of letters received by Superintendent of Education William F. Feagin attest the popularity of the movement and it is expected that the day will be observed in practically every school in the state.
 The general observance of the day will be in accordance with the earnest solici- tation of Superintendent Feagin, who several days ago addressed an urgent appeal to the teachers of the state in the shape of school bulletin.
 "The country school yard is often a dreary place." said Superintendent Fea- gin in his introduction to the bulletin. ''rhe plain frame building of the rural school, too frequently little better than a cattle shed, stands in the middle of its cheerless yard like a scarecrow in a cornfield after the corn has been gath cred: and like the scarecrow in its de- serted field, the picture Is we'll fitted to frighten children.

HUGO MUNSTERBERGS RESIGNATION FROM HARVARD WITHDRAWN

Cambridge. Mass, october 21.--Prof Hugo Munsterberg has withdrawn his resignation from the Harvard chair of psychology lat the request of the au- thorities,' according to an announce ment made tonight. The resignation was submitted recently after Professor Munsterberg learned the university had received communication from Mai Clarence Wiener of London threatening to withhold a legacy of 10,oo0,000 to Harvard unless the pro- fessor was dismissed. Major Wiener's objection to Professor Munsterberg was based on the professors pro-German utterances since the opening of the Flu rcpean war.
 The announcement of the withdrawal of the resignation appeared in the col umns of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin. The Bulletin says editorially that the' university cannot afford to admit ''auy suggestion that it would be willing to accept money to abridge free speech to remove professor or to accept his resignation
 Professor Munsterberg tonight said the university had refused to accept" his resignation.

In other words, it has been sim pie commercial proposition. There is however, ample coal tar produced in the United States to supply all of our de- mands for these products, and a much larger supply of coal tar is already in sight, We already export appreciable quantities of coal tar pitch to Europe.
 While, therefore it Is physically and technically entirely possible to produce American coal tar dyes, it must be borne ii mind that it has taken Germany about 40 years to reach the present stage of perfection in the art, and that we cannot hope to reach the same goal overnight. It can only be accomplished through the combined support of the government and the textile industry. In the absence of such support the German manufacturer, operating through syndicates which re- gard the results of their operations m the worlds markets as a whole, will not hes itate as they have repeatedly in the past to make prices in this market below the cost of production even in Germany in order to quickly discourage the possi- hilitv of the permanent establishment of the industry here. The American people should remember that the present 3itua- tion might be duplicated at any time that the United Staes was drawn Into war with a European power, resulting in in- terruption to shipping"

SENTIMENT OF THE STEEL TRADE NOT

New York, October 21.-(Special.)-T : Iron Age will say tomorrow
 s-'sNith mill operations averaging 50 per cent or less and with no tangible evi- dence that a better scale of buying is near at hand, sentiment in the steel trade is not improved. The belief that October would show the low point both in opera tions and new buying was expressed in high quarters as the month came in, but it is now only a hope. Several blast fur naces in the central west have blown out in October, while others are scheduled to stop. and it is reported from Pittsburg that a. large plant in that district will close down before the end of the month
 shipments on contracts have been for sometime so much in excess of new or ders that a still lower rate of operations is in prospect. z.
 Tn contrast with the depressed condi- tions in irons-and steel are the reports from the machine tool trade. There the war has brought a large business from foreign governments and from manufac- turers at home who needed new equip ment to get out foreign war orders on time.
 Accumulated stocks ofstools have been taken up in this movement and makers have felt warranted in number of cases in increasing working forces.
 Thus far the foundry trade has felt only a slight effect from the Improve ment in machine tools, as activity in the latter industry would compensate in but small degree for the slack demand for railroad and agricultural castings.

ANNIsTON

Anniston, october M.-(Special. )--The first step toward the inauguration of the community idea in connection with the Anniston public schools will be taken here in the remodeling of the Auditorium building for school purposes. according to an announcement made Wednesday by the Anniston board of education.
 The building in question has been used for sometime as a combined auditorium armory, being the headquarters of the Pelham Guards for sometime. It has been leased for a period of three years and will be better equipped than ever before for purposes of public gatherings.
 There has been no material complaint here against the retrenchment policy of the Southern Railway company, although Anniston has been materially affected by the discontinuance of trains. The removal of the Alabama State Express took two trains from this city, and now the an- nouneed discontinuance of trains 95 and 36 from Atlanta to Birmingham, passing this city in the morning and evening, will further affect Anniston. The Kansas City special, which has heretofore been fast train, will in future be operated as & local to take the place of the last two trains cut off.
 Unless provision is made by the next legislature for local taxation for school purposes the representatives from Cal houn county in the next legislature will, in all probability, be asked to work for a higher rate of taxation for the city of Anniston and to urge the passage of a local measure looking to this relief An- niston at present is said to have the low est rate of taxation of any city of its size in the south.

GIVES EXPLANATION
 0E COAL TAR DYES
Less Than 10 Per Cent of By-Product Tar Can
 Thus Be Utilized

A representative of the Barrett Manu- featuring company, which company ham dles & considerable proportion of the coal tar produced in the United States, sums up the possibility of establishing an American dye stuffs industry as follows:
 sThe first thing to be understood is that the coal tar industry and the dye stnffs industry are two entirely separate fac tors. This is made plain from the fact that if all the crude. dye stuffs bases are removed from coal tar, they amount to not more than or 10 per cent of the tar as received from the by-product coke ovens and gas works. and that therefore the tar distiller has to dispose of at least 90 per cent of the tar he receives in the form of pitch, refined tar. creosote oil, etc, even if he removes and finds a mar ket for all of the dye stuff bases.
 ''The three principal groups of so-callee coal tar dyes are those produced from benzol, naphthalene and anthraccne. From benzol is manufactured aniline oil and salt, which are perhaps the best known of the intermediate products, and from anthracene the very important ali- zarin products. The quantity of henzol obtainable from coal tar however, is q negligible one. the real source of supply of this article being at the by-product coke oven plant, and ample supplies are available from that source. You will ob- serve, however, that the coal tar dis tiller contributes practically nothing in this line. The anthraeene amounts to only approximately x of per cent of the crude tar and the naphthaene perhaps | or 6 per cent. so that it is readily seen how very far astray is the popular con ception that you may take a barrel of coal tar and convert 1t into & barrel of dry stuffs
