SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

It is foolish to consider that any per sons will advertise themselves as illit- crates and not one out of hundred will seek a place to be taught, unless it is in close proximity to his or her home. Neither can a teacher consider going into neighborhood that prop ably holds the persons most needing education, especially whites, expecting to gain confidence unless the work Is done with sympathy and heart. It ~ill be only through personal contact, the gaining of confidence, and the equal ity basis that will get results.
 Clubs may be formed of illiteratas themselves. under the direction of the organization This organization should be arranged in districts in this city in small groups, and through these groups secure a census of the Hitter ates in Greater Birmingham, teaching in the vicinity in which the illiterates live.
 Although a good many have already sent their names to this office and others have signified their desire to teach the number is not yet suffi- ciently large to make a representa- tive organization. Send in your name at once so that some idea of the strength of the body might be known.
 As no correct census of the Hitter ates in Birmingham is obtainable, tho only census that could be gotten with names and addresses is one of chil- dren of school age, and as the effort primarily of this organization will be to teach adults. the present census Is of little assistance. The government census also holds only figures, averages and percentages, etc. Beginning now

BRYAN SUGGESTION CAUSES DISCUSSION IN BANK CIRCLES. May Prove Demonstration of Some Very Remarkable Changes of Opinion SOME APPROVE TT;
 OTHERS CRITICIZE Estimates Show Population Has h. creased 1,5O0,OOO Since the
 Outbreak of the War
 in Europe
By HOLLAND

New York, June S.-(Special.) )-There are some peculiar features associated with the suggestion which was thrown out by Secretary of State Bryan at a dinner in Washington. at which some of the dele gates to the Pan-American financial con- ference were guests, which have led to great deal of discussion in this city. The fact that the first public statement in which the secretary's suggestion was re- ported appeared in the monthly circular of the greatest of American banks, one, establishing branch banks in South America, tends to the suspicion that the managers of this institution may have known that Secretary Bryan was to bring the attention of some of the delegates of South America to this credit-utilizing proposition.
 It seems to reflect the experience of CTS in highly artificial methods of financ- ing It is thought not to be a proposi- tion which would have been originally conceived by any one in public life whose activities have been confined, as Colonel Bryan's have been to political questions. It seems to be a refinement of iuterna- tional financing and of kind of which recent financing in Great Britain is an ex- cellent example
 Two years ago Secretary Bryan would not, presumably, have originated or ten tatiyely recommended a plan Of this kind. It is something entirely beyond the

 The New York superintendent of banks reports savings deposits on Jan uary 1 almost $50, ,00o 900 in excess of those of year previous with 27,oCO additional depositors.

scope of the state department. Yet if anything should come of it, whatever credit may be due for the suggestion will be cheerfully given to Colonel Bryan. Some think that it may prove to be demonstration of a change of view upon some large questions which will become tradition of the mid-years in the admin
 straton of President Wilson.
 By happy coincidence the suggestion was made public within day or two of the important decision handed down by the circuit court of the United States al Trenton which completely vindicates the organization and operation of the United States Steel corporation For it is appar- ent to those who have read the summary of the opinion of the circuit court that the view of the court was in no small measure influenced by the facts which tell of the wonderful growth of our export trade in steel and iron commodities which the United States Steel corpora,icr has made possible. Exports of this kind may now be encouraged and South American nations are likely to be among the largest

On Monday afternoon at clock a meeting was held of the Jefferson county subeommission on illiteracy to discuss plans and devise means to do systematic and intelligent work along these lines in the county and city.
 It was definitely decided that noth- ing could be done without an organ ization and the first step would be to effect one.
 Professor Glenn. member of the commission. advised waiting for the opening of school session in the fall when a large organization that Is al- ready made-the $50 teachers of Great CT Birmingham-coul gather a correct census. The majority of the board present did not deem it advisable to let three months pass without some specific work accomplished.
 Jefferson county, outside of Birming- ham, will have to be the most seri- ously considered and the most con- scentiously work ed. the illiteracy in Birmingham being comparatively small, only something like ? per cent
 Volunteer service is the only kind asked for in this campaign and it would not be considered just to in- cur extra work on the teachers un- less their services were given volun- tarily. The moving spirit in this work should be prompted by love for hu- manity and a desire for uplift. The work becomes true act of service when voluntarily given.

A GOOD RESPONSE TO
 THE CALL FOR RAGS.

Hardly anything could give greater encouragement to an effort than re- sponse and such is the case in response to the call for rags to assist the work of the women employed in making rugs ot the auxiliary of the Associated Charities.
 A letter from Mrs. Hattie Lou Grah- lee several days ago states that Mrs Grablee will collect in Kennedy, her home, the rags and scraps of her neigh borhood friends and send them by par eel post to the auxiliary
 If many sections would do this the good work of the auxiliary would be kept steadily going.

ADJUST TELEPHONES
TO HAIRS BREADTH

When you jerked your telephone
about and slammed the receiver on the
hook. did you know that the tele-
phones connected with the automatic
station are, full of adjustments made
to the one-thousandth part of an inch +?
There was serious disagreement
at the meeting OF the Ohio Automatic
Telephone association as to whether
a certain switch should be adjusted
to four-thousands Of an inch or six
thousandths of an inch. The argument
was determined. and the telephone
men returned to their homes Monday
night, and as result there will be
uniform adjustments in all automatic
telephone stations connected with the
association.
Criticism of the local plant was
made by committee, and the general
condition was found to be excellent
