CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS

From the New York Sun.
 The churches of the greater city are to cooperate with the board of education in system of extra instruction for school children which it is believed will remove entirely the necessity for part time at
 tendance. The plan will be introduced
 at eight schools in the Bronx on Novem-
 Der l and will be in force in eight more
 there and eight in Manhattan before the
 year is over.
 The public schools selected will permit
 children to leave them at fixed times each
 week in companies of 20 to 40 each, to go
 to schoolroom fitted up nearby by a
 church. There teachers will be provided
 by the churches and they will give in structon either free or at small charge. Children will go to these church schools only when their parents wish, and to such schools as they wish.
 The plan is somewhat akin to tha Gary system of vocational training. William Wirt, Commissioner Whalen and nther
 school authorities believe it will make pa Tt time attendance unnecessary through the extra seating capacity to be furnished. It is estimated that the plan will afford 10000 seats in the first eight Bronx schools
 alone.
 Churches of all denominations have
 united in the project. The Rev. Dr. G. r. Werner, Lutheran; the Rev. c. W.
 Petty, Baptist; the Rev. w. Bertram Stevens, Episcopal, and John Whalen, president of the American Federation of Catholic societies and member of the Gary school committee all are working | for its success. Bishop Frederick Court ney is chairman of a committee of Cath olcs. Protestants and Jews. | One Gary school opens in Manhattan l and another in Brooklyn tomorrow Others are to wait until the results oi the experiment are apparent. though church leaders In the Bronx say they vii | be ready with rooms and teachers wher the public schools are ready. Many Cath l oic and Protestant school teachers hay, l offered their services. s}
 1 Last spring Father Cafuggi of the Cath olic church of Mount Carmel, in tn,
 Bronx, hired five teachers and took 4
 classes week. It was most successful 1 This year it is believed that with play | grounds, libraries and other anncxes t
 provide more facilities and a greater va
 riety of study children will be erccur
 aged to stay longer, yet be compelled t. do less home work.
 1 All concerned in the new plan wish
 made clear that no public money is to b. 1 expended for religious education and tn churches will not cafry their tenets int, l the public schools.

The Empress Dowager Speaks

70, how I hate those Germans" the Empress dowager of Russia is re- ported to have said in recent inter- view. The European temper has been put on edge by the war and even feminine royalty does not hesitate to shake a belligerent fist at the foe and breathe imprecations on his name.
 "I am Dane," continued the En- press, land from the day they took Schleswig- -Holstein have hated them. Russia has been too hospitable to all those Prussian emigrants, according them favors and high positions. A German, even though he be shown every kindness, remains always a German. l often said so when the Czar Alexander was alive, but he would not believe me One man only foresaw this terrible Germanic ag- gression. It was the late King Ed ward VII, who was great monarch. Do you know that when I was taken by surprise by the outbreak of the war, as I was crossing Germany, the Berlin people made an especially hos tile manifestation when my trair passed by, calling out Russian pigs ? They are brutish people,
 Having thus expressed her senti ments, her highness was doubles. much relieved, but the point she makes in regard to the aggressive Prussian in Russia is one worth considering Before the war Germans dominates Russian trade. Nothing less than tn present upheaval would have shaker them loose, so strongly were they es tablished. The new trade freedom gained by Russia presents fine op portunity for Americans to get som of the business formerly monopolizet by the Teutons.
 It is also interesting to note tha

GIVING THE MELTING POT A REST

From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
 The war is giving the United States a much needed opportunity to assimi- late the foreign born population. For the last 10 years an average of 1,o00.- 900 immigrants have entered the coun- try every year. Of course. some of them have returned, but the net gain in popu- lation from this source alone has been astounding It has taxed the powers of the nation to absorb this vast mass of humanity unfamiliar with American in- stitutions and American ideals. With the outbreak of the war the rush of im- migrants stopped suddenly. In the year ending with June 30. only S26.70o land ed in American ports. Az the war has gone on the travel this way has con- tinued to dwindle. July brought only 21,5oo. and only n of them landed af Philadelphia.
 The problem of making good Ameri- cans of those here is becoming easier not only through the decrease in the number arriving. but through the re- turn to their native country of thou sands who had not yet become citizens and were compelled to respond to the call to arms.

HOTEL LOBRIEs
Back From North Carolina

Col. w. B. Leedy returned Tuesday from a short but pleasant vacation spent in North Carolina.
 T was gone little more than two weeks" said Colonel Leedy. Accom- panied by members of my family l motored to Kanuga Club, where we oc- cupied commodious cottage The club is six miles from Hendersonville and 2s miles from Asheville. We visited both of those cities but as the accom- modations at Kanuga club were elegant we remained there the greater part or the time. I enjoyed the golf links
 We met many pleasant people from various sections of the country New Orleans and other southern cities were especially~well represented at Kanuga.
 Speaking of motoring, it is note worthy fact that in making the round trip, travelling more than 500 miles, I punc- tured only one tire"

The Sunday Musicsles

We have sold many season tickets for the series of four Sunday musicales
 to be given this season, last at the
 Tutwiler, beginning in November" said
 Mrs. J. k. Frazer. who has arranged the attractions and who contributes her time and experience free for the ad-
 vancement of musical art. "All of the Sunday recitals have been of high
 merit, but for the season of 1915-16 we
 are to have exceptionally attractive ar lists.
 We open with Alfred Spalding. the famous violinist who captivated Birming- ham few years ago at one of the Sunday matinees at the Jefferson the
 atre. under the auspices of Mrs. AL
 drich. He will be assisted by MT. Fred erick Gunster.
 While there has been a good demand for tickets, all of them must be sold , in order. to meet the cost of the series; and I believe all will be disposed of between now and November"

New York's Recent Census

The state of New York makes a count of it's population in the middle of every decade. Its enumeration for 1915, recently completed. was some. what of surprise. in-as-much as the population of the city of New York since the federal census of 1910 showed an increase of only 100000 The total population Is found to be 5,066,222.
 The borough of Manhattan lost S8,4S1, which is easily accounted for by the tendency of well-to-do families to move from congested centers to outlying sections.
 But what has caused good deal of sharp criticism is the fact that the city's health department had esti mated the population this year al 5 5,So6,532, or 100000 more than the federal census credited the city with five years ago. The death rate was based on the health department fig ures, but in order to make favorable showing that department was entirely too loose in it's estimates. A differ ence of SO0,000 between its figures and the state enumeration is so glar ing as to greatly discredit the work of the health department in so far as its mortuary rate goes.
 The borough of Brooklyn is still 2 growing community. It has had ar increase of 168,s4O since 1910. The total population of the state of New York Is now about $500, ,00O New York city's population, it is seen, is greater than that of all the rest of tht state outside This should be glor, enough for the big metropolis, but un less the census of 1920 credits the cit, with 6,Ooo,oOO some citizens of loca pride will say that Uncle Sam has no given them fair deal.
 Chicago, which will continue to bt New York's closest rival, manages tt rock along with only about 2,5OO,O0' souls-counting all sorts.

SAVE THE CATS
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal
 London..-An urgent appeal in behalf of cats home stating that this dread ful war will break us unless our kind friends help us to hold on.' moves the Times to an editorial protest.
 "In the throes of the most frightful war of modern times" remarks the paper, wher millions of human beings are suf- ferIng death. mutilation famine, disease and the added anguish that comes of looking before and after exhortations to bestow aims upon animals seem little out of season.", 4s.4{ 5EH
 The appeal for the home for cats is signed by a large number of names out of the peerage. It Is a large organiza- ton with chartered accountants and five cat hospitals. where 80 per cent of the patients are destroyed painlessly on ad- mittance. and the remainder kept as guests. A cart calls for patients, and in urgent cases a special messenger is sent for them. There Is also a night bell SC that patients may be received at all hours. Wealthy persons wishing to get rid of their pets may do so at moderate fee. On" serious phase of the cat situation is the large number left behind by de- ported or interned Germans. The appeal admits: Tt is dreadful to have to ask for animals when our poor and the nation and dear soldiers require so much. but the rescue work must gc on"
 This is no time to maunder over cats, ' retorts the Times.

Servants Who Plunder

The murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Nichols, wealthy New York woman, by three robbers who were admitted to her home by a hallboy, led In- spector Faurot of the New York de- tective force to warn people of means against carelessness in hiring their servants. According to the inspector, the characters of menials are seldom inquired into and they are even en- gagged at times without recommenda- tion, except that given them by an employment agency. As result it is easy for thieves to enter the service of the rich with the ultimate inten- tion of robbing them.
 It is said that the war in Europe has sent numbers of European crooks to this country where they are thought to have committed many recent crimes. In New York, Chicago and other large cities the footing of wealthy homes , has been carried on with such boldness and success that the police are puz- zled and are glad of an opportunity to excuse their inability to catch the offenders on the ground that they are master crooks from abroad who are operating on an elaborate system and have expert fences" to help them dis pose of their plunder.
 A foolish affectation of the million. aire class in this country is confidence in their domestics. "Oh, we trust oul servants implicitly" remarks some matron who possesses a fortune 1T jewels and leaves thousands of dollars worth scattered about on her dressing table. The professional thief asks nc better opportunity for making "ricf haup than temporary employment 1T the house of such people. A servant in house where diamonds are plenti ful should never be tempted. Even al honest one might be led astray by 2 sparkling necklace carelessly lef within his reach. .

HOW TO TEACH PLEAS

Ffrom the Kansas City Star
 One of the attractions at a street carnival in Cherryvale last week was a troupe of trained fleas. The "profes- sor' in charge of this exhibit was ex- plaining to Albert Stroud about the flea performance. He said: The teaching of the flea to do any sort of trick is. of course, a tedious. difficult matter. The first thing to do is to break them of their natural habit of jumping.
 N"One can see how necessary this is when one considers that the insect is less than one-eighth of an inch in length. has a jump of three feet thus 300 times its own length. If a 6-foot
 man had the same leaping power he could make leaps of 1900 feet, so that when flea has the advantage of one leap he Is good as gone forever. My
 apparatus for jump breaking is a round glass ball confine him in this for three weeks. I look through this ball. touch 1 1t, flash lights into 1t. talk do every
 thing to let the flea accustom himself to my presence. At first he will jump
 and jump. He strikes against the curved walls and gets bruised. After time and find three weeks to be ample, the l flea gets to know me. and he also gets l to know that it is less painful to crawl | than to jump and get bruised.
 "The flea cannot differentiate be-
 tween transparent glass and no glass
 so that when take him from the bal
 he still strikes this peculiar obstruc. ton, and so he doesn't jump. So you see. a flea must have some reasoning power somewhere. but am in no posi-.
 ton to see where it is located. That is why I have to pick them up witt
 tweezers and put them on my arm wher
 I want to feed them. They don't dare l to jump on me-"

the Empress pays tribute to the far sighted Edward VII, who was recog- nized during his reign as a great diplomat. Events which have trans pred since his death have added to his fame, as there can be no doubt but that this astute monarch foresaw what other leaders could not or would not see-the most sanguinary conflict in the history of the world.

ALABAMA PRESS


 Mobile Register: Senator Miners bill to allow one-fourth of a convict's earn ings to so to the convict's wife or de- pendents, If any, is a good measure. In many cases conviction falls heavier upon the dependents than upon the convict. Alabama Courier: The present legisla- ture is said to be most expensive in the entire history of Alabama, the carpetba g regime not excepted. Lots of money for mighty little legislation. But most of them have sucked their last public teat.3 Selma Times: Harvard chemist announces the discovery that the muscles, brain and blood of hu- man beings who have never known the taste of whisky are found to contain newly made amounts of alcohol.
