Schools Do Much for Music

They are interested In and working for the success Of our music festival on May Il, too. and right here I want to say that no city Of the old country, where l have visited ana was partially educated, did better work for music than is being done in our public schools here in Birming gham. don't want to leave out the private schools, for they are always interested in music, and assist in promoting un- usual affairs in every way possible.

High Freight Rates to Argentina

q notice in this mornings issue or The Age-Hera1d an article on the edi- torial page giving the price of coal in Argentina at $35 a ton," said Henry T. IDeBardeleben yesterday. At this price for coal, the layman doubtless would think the Birmingham coal operators could get into the South American mar ket and make mint of money. "As a matter of fact, the scarcity of
 vessels in the coastwise trade is such
 that the freight alone OH ton of coal
 from Birmingham to Argentina would
 be at least $2S, probably more. At that |figure, the coal mines would lose money
 by selling their product to Argentina
 for s35 a ton, and I don't believe any of them will do it.'
