If yours is home where there are
children, you are cheating them out
of something if you are bringing
them up in a rented house. The
child who goes out into the world
equipped with the memory Of infu-
ences surrounding his own home,
carries with him a stability and
sense Of permanency that makes
for success. Don't cheat your child
out of this steadying influence.
Don't send him out into the world

AN INTERNATIONAL swINDLE

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Ferdinand Drabina, young man whe emigrated to the United States in 1907, and who after varied career as wa1tar, hotel porter, laborer in the gold mines in Colorado and salesman, settled down in 1912 as a correspondent for banking firm in Chicago, has just been sent to prison for two years and half for ob. taining money from Austrian banks on falsified orders from Austro- Hungariana in America. A part of the business of the banking firm that employed Drabins was the transfer of money from emil grants to their families Tn Austria-Hun' gary. The young man conceived the idea, and at his first opportunity car. ried it out, of making the orders payable to himself rather than to the stipulated payee The drafts thus falsified ba mailed to a "co-worker" in Austria, and in the summer of 1914 he followed tho bogus paper across the Atlantic. After collecting several thousand kronen-17. .00 in the city of Ostrau alone-he took lodgings with humble family and by means of his apparent wealth succeeded easily in infatuating the daughter When however he threw her over and tool up another charmer she denounced him to the police as Suspicious American. who had no visible means of support, and who must have something to conceal be. cause he had never gone through the necessary formality of registering with the police. An investigation resulted thai has only been concluded with DrabinA'i conviction.

Towards Summer School

The second summer school in the his- tory Of Howard college closed today, '' said Jasper c. Hutto, college registrar, yesterday. Approximately 15O students took courses in the summer school this year, making great Improvement in numbers over last year. The school was success in every way.
 By having the privilege of a summer school in Birmingham, hundreds of young women school teachers, who live In Birmingham, are~enabled to spend their summer at home and at the same time study for extensions on their certificates. Howard college is now offering thorough normal training in the educational de- partment, which is accepted by the state department of education, and we are al- lowed to give extensions to certificates without the student standing a state ex- animation. A complete course is taught in the regular college sessions, and when finished {. graduate is given first grade certificates to teach without state ex- animation

Thinks Well of the Idea

G. Lewis Bailes. a we'll known young attorney, is favorab1y inclined to the idea of a separate taxing district for the city of Birmingham.
 Tt is quite clear to all logical thinking men," said MT. Bailes, that there is no necessity whatever for two sets of local officials and therefore I believe the time is ripe for a discus sion of the separate taxing district and unification of the county and mu- nicipal governments.
 Experience has shown that the dual system of county and civic govern ments in large cities is not only waste fully expensive, but usually results in friction and lack of cooperation and directly tends to lessen efficiency in the administration of local affairs
 Recognizing these plain economic facts. the cities of San Francisco Bal timore, Richmond. St. Louis and Den yer, as well as numerous other cities, have been created into a combined city and county government. wholly sep arate and independent of the sur rounding county. That is what should be done in Birmingham, and what can be done, and what will be done, if the forward looking citizens of this city will get behind the movement which means the solving of the financial problems of the municipality"
