 of Alabama Power Co.

Tuscaloosa, August 6.-(Special)-On account of the failure of Congress to pass the rivers and harbors appropriation bill, all work on Lock r, situated nearly 20 miles above Tuscaloosa on the Warrior river, will stop Saturday It was stated here today by Government Engineers Lit tie that orders were received several days ago to stop the work entirely at that time, but later permission was given to continue until the close of the present week on account of several parts of the work which needed to be placed in better condition before stopping entirely.
 While the people of Tuscaloosa regret that the failure of Congress to pass the bill will stop the work on Lock II for several months, and will probably delay the completion of the big job until next spring or summer they were greatly pleased to learn that the work on Locks ? and below this city would not be af- feoted by the situation. | was announced by government engineers here that the money for the entire completion of these two locks was appropriated at the last

session of Congress, and the work on them will continue uninterrupted. This will insure the completion of these locks by fall, and will then guarantee to Tus- ealoosa an open river to the gulf ports the year round. The river is now open to the gulf except during very low water. but when these two locks are completed tEere will then be no need to stop traffic at any season of the year.
 This announcement concerning the work on Locks and 3 guarantees that the development which has been started in the coal fields few miles above Tusca- ioosa on the river will not be interrupted, and plans for the opening of new mines Will continue as before. The failure of the appropriation bill to pass means that the completion of the water power plants of T. H. Friel and associates will be de- layed until next year and the backing of the water up to Cordova will likewise be postponed unless the bill is passed at once.

68: 1913, 80.
In those years, original actions in-
stituted in the district court, were
2Ss, 300 and 3l2, respectively.
An important department OF the
clerks work Is that of naturalizing
citizens. Ninety.one aliens declared
their intention to become citizens
during the three years, and 80 final
petitions for citizenship were filed.
During the three years. according
to Mr.. Danby's letter, the fees earned
In his Office amounted to $42,3l7.OS

Movies as CiyiIizers

Five years of movies" among the
tough districts of New York's East
Side has produced a very marked i'm
proVement. This is YOuched for by
Frederic 9. Howe, director of the
Peoples Institute, doubtless the most
cosmopolitan platform in this coun-
try, and who also is chairman of the
National Board of Censors who pass
on the new films. All the best film
producers voluntarily submit their
new films to this board for approval
before allowing them to go out to
the public, says Popular Mechanics.
The movies have brought the
world to the East Side-the great
world of snow-capped mountains,
sparkling brooks, great trees and
beautiful flowers. 1t may be hot and
sitting in the small, crowded room
next to the fiat roof. but even the
poorest may occasionally spare five
cents for an hour in which mountain
and lake are brought TO those who
have never been to either So, too,

noble buildings mighty steamships
and other great feats of engineering;
statues of the worlds great men;
even the notable events of their lives.
in which self-sacrifice and lofty ideals
are reproduced, are seen and uncon-
sciously absorbed. The dullest can
not fail to be aroused to some small
stimulation of ambition or renewed
effort at the swift, graphic story OF
what high-minded men and women
have accomplished. And through il
all runs the golden thread of the bet
ter things and the better life. which
invariably eleYates and broadens, fol
in every life, however narrow, there
is some chord which must respond be

is touched.

THE CHILDREN IN THE PARADE.

The display by the playground children IN the Me-
mortal Day parade most creditable to the man
gement as we'll as to the children. 1t is needless to
point out the high educational value of Identifying
these children with patriotic event of this character
The pity of is that while the children are now
denied the traditional celebration of the Fourth OF
July the city has nothing for popular celebra
ton in which the children of the city may be used in
WAYS to interest them and cultivate their patriotism
The Fairgrounds Commission has done and Is
doing much for the welfare of the citys children and
TO qualify them for good citizenship 1t is now we'll
realized that this work means more than merely to
provide play places children. The moral and edit
cational aspects of commissions work are of first
Importance
Participation in the Memorial Day celebration
gave sense of pride to the children. They felt that
they we're an important part of patriotic public
spectacle They became identified with the nations
great traditions Should they not be eager to learn
all about what Memorial Day means? And when they
participate in a patriotic pageant on the Fourth OF
July will they not want to know the history of the
great events which preceded and followed the Declara-
uon of independence?
Our public and private schools are doing a great
work In making American citizens out of all kinds Of
crude material but there is great deal they cannot
do and the Fairgrounds system ideally adapted for

Census figures recently published

among civilized nations. Great Bri-
tain's larger number are scattered

strong if allowance be made for their
