EDUCATION SUNDAY
 IS FIXED FOR JAN. 31
Mrs. Prentiss B. Reed Asks Ministers to Preach Against Illiteracy on This Day

The following statement on education Sunday, which it is proposed to have Ala bama churches observe on January 21. has been issued by Mrs. Prentiss B. Reed, chairman Alabama joint committee of womens organizations:
 January 21 has been set aside as Ed- ucation Sunday by the Alabama patrons committee. On that date ministers throughout the entire state are earnestly urged to preach on Alabama's white illit- eracy and measures for reducing it.
 Tt is hardly probable that any preacher in Alabama will withhold his strength and influence from this movement for better educational conditions in Alabama in which so many thousands of volunteer workers in the state have joined forces. Education has been considered by the church as distinct part of it's work for many centuries For the churches of our state to cooperate with the educational forces in the state in the effort to carry light into the thousands of lives enthralled in the night of ignorance, such co-opera- tion will give an incalculable impetus to the entire educational movement.
 Ouly al Siiidii PiopOA eiOi OA <AAoSe-iA- citizens really know the appalling percen- tage of white illiteracy existing in our state. When once the state does realize it there will arise an overwhelming pub lie sentiment that will change these de- plorable conditions. In creating this pub lie sentiment no group Of men in Alabama can do more than can our preachers. Their utter fearlessness in speaking the truth, however unpleasant that truth may be, is in itself enough guarantee that a sermon from them on Alabamas educa- tional needs will carry conviction to thou sands who would otherwise remain indif- ferent to the call for all men and women of intelligence to do their part in re- moving from Alabama the stigma of illit- eracy now resting upon her.

 "I remember with such vividness her
 life as a girl in her fathers home. Dur

 invalidism, Mabele was to her a
 guardian angel, watching at all times
 to see what she might do for her com- fort. and listening eagerly for any re-
 quest that might come that would give her the joy of ministering to her, her frail mother.
 For some months she has had a class of girls in the First Methodist Sunday school, and it is hardly necessary for me to say that she has had her hand upon them for good. They have been de- voted to her, and the heart of every girl in that class today mourns the loss of such a teacher.

 The citizens of Bessemer are very much interested in the report current in this city that the court bill intro. duced by Senator Lusk in the legis. lature would mean the abolition of tho city court of Bessemer and a few who were familiar with the proposed bill are of the opinion that while the bill contemplated the abolishing of all city courts and placing the courts in cir cults throughout the state. that a branch of the circuit court would still remain in this city. At least 50.00O people are affected by the jurisdiction of Bessemer city court and would be put to an enormous expense and in convenience if they were compelled to attend court in Birmingham. Last year the Bessemer city court had nearly 2OOO cases on the docket.

 LOST 0FF JUTLAND Zeppelin L-3 Explodes and Sinks in the Shallow
 Coastal Waters

Copenhagen, February 1S.-(Via London, February 19, 3:49 a. m.)-Confirmation has been received here that a second German airship has been wrecked off the coast of Jutland.
 The Zeppelin L-3 exploded on Fance Island Wednesday and another Zeppe- lin sank in the shallow coastal water 10 miles north of Esbjerg, Jutland, today. Four of the Crew were drowned but the others got ashore. Some were suffering from broken legs and other injuries. In all three officers and eight men escaped. Count Platen, captain of the craft, had both legs broken The airship drifted to sea.
 The survivors say they were on patrol duty over the North sea when the weight of snow on the envelope caused the air ship to sink to the surface of the water. When they gained the shore the men first represented themselves as fisher men, hoping to escape internment. After wards they admitted the truth. They will be interned at Odense, S7 miles south west of Copenhagen, with the men who escaped from the Zeppelin wrecked Wednesday.
 It Is understood that at the time of the accident the whole Zeppelin fleet was patrolling the North sea just outside the Danish waters, Zeppelin No. 2 being in command.
