He says he can fnstinctively FEEL
a lie when a defendant speaks it. And
he says he can detect infections of
the voice that are hidden from the
average man.

whatever it is, said Judge Bell, 'is
rarely deceived. 1 can detect, i'm
mediately, the false and the true
ring in a mans voice. In this way I
the blind can see into the heart of s
a man."
Miss DuptneI is an excellent aid to
the judge, for she understands the
problems which come before him Z
daily. s
She says she is a business woman

should make itself social center. School improvement is already aiding the schools to prepare for neighborhood industry py it's promotion of tomato and corn clubs, and to make themselves social centers by its county lyceum courses. In brief County School Improvement associations should have as proposed achievements, first, the provision of comfortable san itary buildings, supplied with adequate equipment second, educational advance by the passage of needed laws relating to education: third, economic service by cor relating the activities of the school with industries and activities of rural life; fourth social service. by making the school a social center. These things can- not be accomplished in a day, a year. not even in 10 years; but they are the ends toward which the improvement associa- tions are working and which. 1t is hoped, will finally be attained.
 ''The School Improvement association, first launched through the Alabama Fed eration of Womens Clubs, was the first organization to select as it's peculiar work the rehabilitation of rural life. It Is now glad to become a co-worker with the Southern Commercial congress. These two have a similarity of aim, though their fields are distinct and cooperation between the two will be to the advantage of each.

WORK OF ALABAMA SCHOOL
 IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION

With the coming of the annual conven- tion of the State School Improvement as- sociation, held here on Friday and Sat- urday, we are reminded anew of the sig nificance of this organization in connec- ton with public schools. from large city systems to small country schools of one teacher.
 The success and the general satisfac- ton of school depends largely on the attitude of it's patrons, and that is one of the points covered by the School Im- provement association. This is true, espe- cially of the country schools where the school is more closely associated with the people of the community and where it has not the advantage of business man agement and where, too, it is likely to be placed every few years in charge of an entirely new corps of teachers. There it is absolutely necessary to the schools welfare that there be among the patrons school improvement association. that those who are permanently interested in that particular school and neighborhood should be boarded together for the ad- vancement of their school.
 Yet it seems the need is equally great in towns and cities. for where the school is larger there are opportunities for ever increasing improvement. There is the possibility for doing more. and so there is the need for workers who will accept these responsibilities So 1t is that the schools everywhere are in need of this aid to the paid teaching force, this sup port from those who help because of their seeing the needs of their individual con- munity and because of their willingness to supplement the teachers work and to improve their school in the real sense of that phrase.
 School improvement has had to make its own way in Alabama. By showing it's worth it has won the place it holds in the

was to serve drinking water to the men on march and they were obliged to encare all the fatigue and hardships equally with the soldiers as they tramped along by their side. Four can tinieres we're apportioned to bat talion. Their hodge podge uniforms, half masculine. half feminine. consist ed Of tight fitting leather belted basque with its double row of brass buttons, a short full skirt reaching to the knees, small black apron and un- derneath a pair of trousers. A leather hat was the practical headgear that went with this queer look ing combina- ton. To the arm of each cantiniere's coat was attached little white iron plaque with her name and that of tho battalion to which she was assigned engraved on 1t.
 The cantiniere in the time of peace had no legal existence. so that 1t was only when war was proclaimed that she figured on the army lists. In letter 10 the directoire dated March t7, 1I97, Napo- leon speaks on the noble action of the cantiniere. Marie Dauraune, of the Fifty first brigade, "who on seeing a soldier fall into the river and .n conseuuence of a swift current being swept under. jumped in without moment hesitation, and saved him from drowning.
 q have presented to her collar of gold from which Is suspended a civic crown with the name or the soldier en- graved on 1t who Is indebted to her for his life"
 Sometime later Josephine Tinquart of the Sixty-third regiment received a cross for having killed cossack and thus saved the life of her colonel in the re- treat from Russia.
 Marie Tete-de Bois. whose name Is prob- ably a sobriquet. as. translated, 1t is Marie Head of Wood. was in 17 active campaigns. Her husband was killed on the battle grounds and she herself was wounded several times. The faithful can. tiniere was scarcely cured of her last wound when she again took up her duties as water carrier and followed Napoleon to Waterloo. During the battle stray bullet struck her and logged in her face As she fell she shouted. Long liv, France" The ball had made an ugl,
