CONTROLS TORPEDO
 FROM AEROPLANE
Patents for Scheme Included in Hammond Radio Con- /, trOIled Torpedo Rights

Washington. January 1S.-Wireless con trol from an aeroplane of a coast de- fense torpedo has been developed, it was learned today and patents for the scheme are include in the Hammond radio-con- trolled toepedo rights for the purchase of which the navy department has asked Congress to, appropriate nearly million dollars.
 Aeroplane control, officers explain. make it possi ble for the operator to guide the radio tor pedo through water from any height a ir bubbles from the com pressed air mowor of the torpedo giving him a certain guide by which to steer 1t against a shipfs hull. By use of power ful glasses it has been possible hereto fore to control the torpedo from shore to a distance of nearly 10000 yards, but the aeroplane device now will make the missile effective to the full range of it's motor capacity or even far at sea if the torpedo is launched from a swift motorboat within sight of an enemy ship
 The Hammond plans are now before the House Notifications committee which con- tinued today its deAaaled conslderatlon or the proposal to spend more than SS0uO,- 900 on improving the coast defense with in the next four years.

JAPANESE PREMIER NARROWLY ESCAPES
 DEATH FROM BOMB
UCOntinued from Page One)

| machine The second failed to ex. plode.
 The machine was traversing a dense. ly inhabited quarter of the city when a man rushed into the street and threw a bomb at the car. The missile broke a window in the machine, but glanced and rolled off into the gutter The chauffeur put speed and escaped the second bomb, which exploded with a terrific noise. The car was slightly damaged.
 The police kept the details of the attack quiet as long as possible, hop ing thereby to capture the assailant or assailants of the premier. According to eyewitnesses, there were two bomb throwers. Both were dressed in Flu ropean clothes but presumably were Japanese.
 The programme of festivities ar ranged in hoor of Grad Duke Milk hilovitch will not be changed as a result of the bomb attack on the pre- mier, but extra precautions will be taken to prevent further untoward in cidents.
 At the banquet prior to the attack, which was attended by the royal princes, members of the cabinet and other dignitaries, the Emperor and the grand duke in addresses exchanged fe- licitations and voiced satisfaction at the growth of the confidence and friendship between Japan and Rus sia.
 The grand duke emphasized Russa's s appreciation of Japan's friendly atti- tude and deep sympathy, and also the practical assistance that had been rem dered Russia since the beginning of the war. An everlasting impression had been made in Russia by these facts. he said, and he desired to ex- press Russias unbounded gratitude. The grad duke then presented to the Emperor and Empress the decora tions of the Order of St. Andrew and the Order of St. Catherine, encrusted in diamonds. These are the hihgest orders in the Russian court.
 After witnessing several ancient dances the grand duke retired to his quarters.

are up for election will have a hand in the direct enforcement of the laws. But outside of these matters the prohibitions 1sts do not exert themselves. They save their strength for the battles where pro- hibition is the issue and by that means they are stronger when the wet and dry fights come.
 There are three members of the su- preme court of Alabama to be elected, and I have heard no one asking over the state how the candidates stood on prohibition. If the prohibitionists were making this an issue in these races, you, may rest assured that question would be uppermost in the minds of thousands of voters. In fact, so far no opposition has developed to any of these candidates yet few voters know how any of them stand on prohibition. In the race for court of appeals there are six candidates and have not heard any talk regarding prohibition in connection with the con- test. The same is true with the presi- dency of the Alabama public service com mission. The prohibitionists can always be counted on to make fight to see that men favoring prohibition are elected when prohibition is the issue''

PARENTS AND TEACHERS CAN COOPERATE AND GET
 MUCH BETTER RESULTS
Social Service Department By MRS. sHBNES N. JULIAN

1 On the other hand. how can the teacher 1 cooperate, with the parent which is quite as necessary? Firsts by showing 1 some personal interest in the child s
 home One of the most interesting phases ! of kindergarten work is the visiting that
 the teachers do with the parents. The parent learns to know the teacher and l the personal element is again established ] After punishing a child at school has | been found intellectual a little converse | ton with the mother on the subject so ! liciting cooperation, will often bring wonderful results The mother knows what will appeal to the individual child when that is often impossible with the teacher.
 Often note is sent the parent of very good child in praise of a very bad one in condemnation, but the indifferent child is left out, when maybe note to the childs parents would make a great deal of difference in his work. And now comes the misunderstood between the home and the school There car be put one solution for this difficulty. If the parents cooperate with the teach CTS, and the teachers are equally gen erous with the parents, there will be no Imisunderstandings.
 We have heard it said that competition is the life of all business, but we know that it should read cooperation is the life of all business, and teaching is a
 business just like being a parent Is
 business and it's the most important business in life.
 You will realize how important coop
 eration with the teacher and parent is
 when you stop to think that out of the childs B waking hours, six or seven of
 them, for nine months in the year, are spent with the teacher. Isn't it high time to think about cooperation?
 And the school--right now We are hear
 ing again the rumble of the short term" and it does sound awfully near We have all kicked about paying the fee, but we've done it. Here again we have all real ized the necessity of cooperation. And we must stay in the boat and not rock so that the board of education and the powers that be can steer us safely to the end of the full term. They need all the encouragement possible. and not knocks.
 Don't you suppose after Birmingham has worked 20 or more years to build up this splendid system. she doesn't want to have seven-months' school year?
 If we have trusted the city fathers the school fathers and the ordinary fathers this long, and the mothers have to be quiet in the matter, having no legalized voice, we may trust them to work out the problem now.
 If the schools must be closed because the city has no money, then let the school improvement association come to the res cue and devise some feasible plan to assist, and keep the schools open Be 1t with the spirit of cooperation for the benefit of the child the teacher and the city of Birmingham

Prohibition Tactics

''rhe prohibitionists of Alabama are not injecting this issue in any campaign in which the prohibition laws or their en- forcement is not concerned" according to Atticus Mullin, secretary of the Alabama public service commission, who was at the Morris last night.
 MT. Muffin has been affiliated with the prohibition forces in politics for a num- Der of years and is considered well in formed on their political plans. In dis cussing the matter last night, MT. Null lin said 1T have been practically all over the state within the past few weeks on business connected with the Alabama public service commission, and I can state positively that there is no truth in the reports which have been pub lished in some newspapers that the pro- hibitionists are taking a hand in every fight which is being waged in the state. The prohibitionists always take part in campaign where prohibition is di- rectly involved or where the officers who

The Ullman School Improvement asso- citation sent to the mothers of that school cards announcing the subjects for a reg ular meeting held yesterday. These sub jects are pertinent and excellent they are worthy of comment
 The first subject, treated by Mrs. Fred J. Shepherd, has to do with How To Try to Co-Operate With the Teacher" the second (and this is given from the viewpoint of the teacher by teacher, Miss Smithson), How To Try to Co., Operate With the Parent" the third sub- iect, handled by Prof. c. P. Underwood the Ullman school principal, treats of the misunderstands between home and school.
 Too few parents understand what real spirit of cooperation with the school means. If they do the regulation duties of an ordinary home discipline. have the children study, insist upon punctuality, they feel the obligation is over. What can be done further?' they ask The teacher is being paid to look after the children" This has an element of truth in it. The teacher is paid, and paid very poorly, for her hours of labor in the over crowded SehoolroOm.
 This article is doubtless undertaking to do what the speakers at the Ullman school will do much better, but unfor- tunately the Ullman school speakers can not raise their voices so that many moth CTS can hear, and the newspaper is a medium that may reach those not in the Ullman school district.
 These may serve IS suggestions as to how to cooperate; every parent can show spirit Of cooperation by sending the teacher note of appreciation when she sees improvement in the childs work; every parent can cooperate by visiting the school and through personal contact come In closer touch with the school and the teacher. Don't listen to children's complaints of a teachers favoritism. Of course, the teacher has favorites; they are only human, and the child that knows his lessons and is obedient naturally is favored. Try and see that your child Is this kind of a pupil. Don't rave because Johnnie Is kept after school go and see for yourself what is the trouble, and is most often very young, always working With too many children, and not always well, especially women-and there are 6271 women teachers in Alabama, and every one of them is trying to do her best
 One sweet girl I know said when her day looked awfully black, there were papers to correct, and the children were restless, and the schoolroom warm a note from mother of praises or appreciation had changed her whole day.
