CONFERENCE AT SUMMER
 SCHOOL ABOUT LUNCHES
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT BY MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

i, lunch room co-operated with the school garden. He said the only way to gauge the success of the school lunch Is to try the same menu several days and then decrease or increase will be deter
 mined. The sales during the garden season increased materially showing the vegetable diet was popular.
 In most schools the lunch chairman Is the purchasing agent and the gar den chairman sells from the garden to the director The school garden chair
 man also sells outside, in this way in many of the schools the garden mak. ing enough to pay for fertilizer and seed for another season.
 Mir, Grant of the Barrett school was
 next to speak. He said a principal is
 expected to be able to prepare every
 thing from spelling lesson to cook
 ing dinner Therefore it was not strange for him to be giving A talk
 on school lunches.
 He stated as East Lake residents in i a large number had garden plots that
 section might he called semi-rural 1 district. He found most of the children , lived in families who ate vegetables | three times a day and a school lunch
 of vegetables was very acceptable. l He said he mad found in the past ! year that greens were a very good lunch course and since Professor Glenn
 was heard to say a relative of his was l fed turnip greens three times day I as a diet at Johns Hopkins 1t must be
 diet to recommend for children. Pro | lessor Grant stated in the Barrett
 school the increase in lunches over 1 last year was 70O0. despite the hard
 times and scarcity of nickels. One
 splendid point Professor Grant made was the fact that school lunches were largely affected by the personal ele-
 ment shown in the way the director 1 served the lunch An inviting lunch room is especially to be recommended, l MT Weatherbee suggested that di-
 rectors compile list of those vege- l tables that may he best used in the i lunch room and the school garden | should raise them
 1 It is hoped each school improvement | lunch chairman will cooperate with 1 the garden chairman and together
 make economy and nutrition the basis . of their lunch menu.

Avoid Car Tracks

From the Washington Star
 Ut Is remarkable how few motor ists realize the danger of running their tires in the car tracks," declares R s. Wilson, manager of the service depart . ment of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. "It Is true that. car runs easier, and the iolts to the mechanism are greatly reduced But 1t Is expen- of ruining tires.
 "The tread of a tire Is the thlclSest part because there the greatest wear takes place. The sides have a thinner wall of rubber to protect the fabric tracks the wear Is concentrated on the side of the tread and the side walls The constant contact of the tire and the inside surface of the rail causes abrasion or wearing away of the rub Der The rail soon cuts through and ruins the tire.
 This practice of running In the ear tracks is also a common fault among drivers of solid tire trucks Only the outside edge of the tire rests on the rail, and consequently only a small part of the tire sustains the whole load The result Is that the outside edge wears off while the rest of the tire Is ap- parently in good condition. Take a five-inch solid tire. Constant running in car tracks will wear off one and one-half inches of the surface reducing 1t to three and one-half-inch tire. Thus a three and one half-in tire Is compelled to do the work of a five-insh h which amounts practically to overload ing.
 This effect is still more pronounce sd where dual tires are used on the rear wheels. few inches of surface on one tire being compelled to endure the strain intended for the entire surface of two tires
 mileage Is wanted"

SALES IN WHOLESALE DISTRICT RATHER LIGHT OWING TO HALF H0LIDAY-FIvE CARS OF LEMONS ARRIVE

Sales yesterday in the wholesale dis trict were rather light, due to the fact that large number of retailers were closed in the afternoon for the regular Thursday half holiday.
 Among the receipts here yesterday were five cars of lemons from New York by a broker of this city. It is understood that this lot is being held at s2.50 per case The wholesale price here is from s3 to $50 per case. containing sso lemons, or 30 dozen. The majority of retailers are said to be holding lemons at 20 cents per dozen, or at almost s6 per case
 Lemons are plentiful in Birmingham at the present time and the demand is good. This fruit is said to be exceptionally abundant on the New York market this season. due to the fact that great part of the Italian crop must be absorbed in this country. Steamers ladened with lem ons and other products arrive daily at American ports, and reasonable prices prevail.
 Watermelons have ceased to arrive here in such large quantities as was the case earlier in the week. and the market is said to be in better condition. Better prices will probably prevail by the end of the week.
 Among local shipments received here yesterday by the Bell-Rodgers Produce company was 10 hampers of crab apples from Cullman. This Is said to be the first shipment of crab apples placed on the market here this season and will be used for preserving purposes. The lot of ap- ples is quoted at 50 cents per bushel hamper.
 Five crates of figs were received from Cftronelle, and these are bringing sS
 For the past few days poultry receipts on the Birmingham market have been lighter than usual.
 MT. Garrett of the Garrettr Hines com pany, commission merchants. makes the following statement regarding the poltry market:
 The greater part of the poultry and eggs on the local market are now being received from northern Alabama, and large shipments of eggs are said to come from Tennessee points. Hens are rather scarce at the present time. and I would not be surprised if prices were not ad- vanced a cent a pound Friday"

COTTON SHIPMENTS BROADENING OUT Russia Taking an Active Interest in the
 Market

New Orleans, July 15.-Small declines and gains were made by cotton today, the market being at a standstil most of the time. The close was at net rise of 8 to points' which practically the highest price of the day. The supply of contracts was not liberal. especially late in the ses- sion, but at the same time there was little special buying of any character.
 Weather conditions over the belt con unued favorable and the map caused some selling, as did expectations of bearish semi-monthly reports from the private crop reporting bureaus During the morn Ing the leading months were sent points under yesterdays close, but in the after- noon this decline was regained.
 What steadiness the market had wa due chiefly to reports of improvement in the spot demand. Spot brokers stated that the inquiry for immediate shipment was proadening out and that Russia espe- cially was taking an interest in the mar ket.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. July, 15.-( Especial .)-Iiverpool on very small business. The increased consumption in America of cotton and linters last month has attracted attention and checked the selling. It would seem as though the German-hed cotton had about been liquidated last week While the sentiment is bearish the strength of the stock market is accepted as indicating the return of many men to work through out the country, who consume cotton goods, and If the railroads were earning their way we would hear of few people without work. Tn short, general business is better though people are still incredu- lous as to the future.

tariff bill protective in its nature. con-

cent on many of the duties contained in
the Payne bill, but reinforcing some Of
the schedules, like the chemical sched-
ule. to the extent that may be necessary
to secure these Industries in our coun-

collapse which will occur on the close
of the war in Europe. and will furnish
US money to prepare for the national
defense, should any nation Of Europe
in arms desire to invade or assault us"
