PUBLIC SCHOOLS
 ARE INADEQUATE,
 STATES H0RNADY
Tour of Inspection Made By Commissioners and Board of Education-All Are
 Visibly Impressed

A trip of inspection of the public schools of the city was made yester- day morning by the city commission in conjunction with Dr. J. H. Phillips and Ben M Jacobs of the board of education. The trip, it was stated by Commissioner Hornady, was arranged to educate other members of the city commission on the needs of the public schools.
 "The public schools of the city, said Commissioner Hornady, "should take precedence over everything else in the matter of civic legislation.
 "Our public schools at the present time are wholly inadequate for our needs. Everywhere in our inspection tour this morning we found that schools in East Lake and other suburbs were using temporary structures to
 take care of the overflow of children. The Central High school constructed to take care of 800 pupils is now hous- ing about 1900, which shows to what straights the board of education is driven to. It is the schools of the city that should be the paramount topic of the citizens and the city com mission and not the question of wheth- CT we should construct a municipal bootblack stand or some other idea that is only serviceable for material to make interesting copy by some in- teresting newspaper reporter. "We need at least two new high
 school buildings at once and to en- large all the public schools that are at the present time inadequate. A bond
 issue will be necessary for that pur- pose, and a large one"
 All of the commissioners were vis- ibly impressed with the needs of the schools and all stated that they were in a deplorable condition, but the ma jority of them believed that the citi- zens of the city are not sufficiently interested to vote for a bond issue for the improvement of the schools as bond issue would mean additional bur dens on the already depleted civic treasury.

Brothers are old favorites in Birming- ham, where they have appeared num- Der of times in the past.
 Among the new offerings is a juggling novelty presented by the Adlon Brothers who introduce a number of mechanical tricks and some comedy that keeps the audience laughing. There is consider ably more comedy than juggling, al- though one member of the team does several tricks requiring dexterity and skill.
 Barto and Clark in songs, dances and witty observations made favorable im- pression. They dance well and contrive to add an element of novelty to the sort of entertainment that is quite familiar to patrons of vaudeville.
 Perhaps the best of the new acts is offered by Foster and Lovett. They make a rather poor beginning, but as they warm up to their work they im- prove.
 New motion pictures completed the bill.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Birth of a Nation

While the entire action of ''The Birth of Nation,'' at the Jefferson the re- mainder of the week with matinee every day is artistic in the highest degree, there are certain bits of acting which stand out even above the general run of the scenes. Pre-eminent among these is the death scene of Flora Cameron in the Little Colonels arms It is the most delicate bit of acting that Birmingham has ever seen. It has been said, and truly, that ''The Birth of Nation made Miss Mae Marsh, who portrays the part of Flora Cameron, famous. Another wonderful bit of action is the scene in the trenches at Petersburg with Henry Walthal, Birmingham boy, as the chief figure His charge on the Union lines is wonderful for it's reality and the facial expressions with which he depicts his emotions are unsurpassed. One feels that Walthal is putting his whole soul into the charge, that for a moment the char acter of the actor has dropped from him. that for the moment he has forgotten all about the eye of the camera and is liv- ing in reality in the days of '61. All this one reads in his face as he runs at the head of his tattered legions in the hail of bullets from the blue lines.

VARDAMAN ATTACKS
 THE ADMINISTRATION
tContinaed from Pare one,


 which means so much to the American people as the subject under controversy today.
 "The President has written some good books, but I do not think he has a cor ner on all the wisdom of the universe nor is he more patriotic than the Con gress which shares with him the respon- abilities of government.
 Senator Vardaman conceded tho right of American citizens to travel on bellig- erent merchantmen. but denounced those who exercise the right with the probabil- ity of involving their country in war.
 He said Germany would well-nigh do anything demanded of her td avoid war with the United States. and that through out the war Germany had been far moro respectful of American rights than the allies. He declared. however, that the holders of bonds of the allies and those receiving money for munitions would be glad to see war with Germany, and that unless Congress acted there was a prob ability that the United States. under the pretext of protecting American citizens. would be drawn into war with Germany.
 The speeA drew no response from friends of the administration.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you. that your kid.
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.

great preparation send ten cents to DR..
