REGULATE CONDUCT
 OF APPRENTICES
Printers Union Adopts Rules Re- garding Boys Who Are Learn
 ing the Trade

An action of interest to social science workers and others concerned in the moral and physical welfare of future journeymen mechanics of Birmingham, is that of Birmingham Typographical union in regulating the conduct of It's appren- tice members.
 The moral training of the home is not alone sufficient to counteract the influ- ences of evil surrounding the average city youth, in the opinion of the member ship of this progressive trade organiza- ton. His everyday 'shop" surroundings should be something approaching the home standard of morality; the union should cooperate with the parent in in- educating the ideas in youth that are meant to produce in the man moral standard as well as a standard of work manship.
 With this idea in mind the printers have adopted regulations governing the inter- course of it's members with apprentices, among the sections of which are the fol- lowing:
 Beginning with the last half of the fourth year, every apprenrrce shall immediately enter upon the h. ternational Typographical union course in printing, and continue the same until the course is completed, and he receives certificate of graduation from the I. T. U. supplementary trade education com mission.
 l Any member of this union who know | ingly invites, entices or in any way influ- ences an apprentice to use intoxicating l liquors or drugs, to gamble or otherwise
 debauch or debase himself; or any mem
 Der who participates with such apprentice
 in drinking, gambling or other depasfns
 practices, shall, upon conviction thereof
 be deemed guilty of conduct unbeconins
 a union man and shall be fined $5 for tht | first offense and $10 for each succeeding | offense.
 Any apprentice or boy employed a: | cub in any union office who, prior O subsequent to such employment, hal formed habits of immorality-drinkin gambling, etc.-and who persists in thos habits, shall be recommended by the ex
 ecutive officers of this union for dis charge"

Huntsville, April 15-(special)-Th Huntsville Chamber of Commerce busi- ness council has decided to establish permanent monthly live stock and cattle day in Huntsville, and the secretary of the organization is now engaged in work ing out the details of the plan. It will probably be fashioned after the first Mondays that are observed throughout middle Tennessee, though it will probably not be on the first Monday of the month, and it will be made day when those who want to buy cattle and live stock can find what they want, and those who want to sell domestic animals will be cer- tain to find a market.
 Important changes in the passenger schedule of the Memphis division of the Southern railroad are said to have been determined upon. The proposed change causes train No. 42, wcstbound, which ar rives here at 1922 p. m., to arrive about an hour and half earlier and con- tinue it's run to Tuscumbia instead of stopping at Decatur. The newsboy train from Memphis, which now arrives at l0;io, will be put back an hour and half. Some changes are expected 10 De an nounced soon on the Nashville. Chatta- rooga and St. Louis railway, and 1t is reported that the early morning train will leave for Nashville two hours later and the evening train from Nashville will arrive earlierS

Hancock Reaches Vera Cruz

Vera Cruz, April 15.--The United States transport Hancock arrived here today and fired salute. A large crowd on the piers watched the vessel coming in. Com. plete quiet prevails here.
 stantly It is wonderful how they travel Fifteen to 20 miles over the ice is a days journey. The dog, too, is possessed of good sense. You couldn't get an Eskimo dog in the water no matter how much you beat him. He knows only too well that the minute he reached the ice, his long fur coat would become a mass of frozen ice so when we come to open leads of water we are compelled either to go around or take the dog across in the kyak or skin canoe. The Eskimo never beats his wife or children, but al- ways beats his dog and feeds him only skin and bones, but the fine big half wolf seems to take it as matter of course.
 NIGHT OF 18O DAYS
 Ut is not the frightful cold, nor the terrible tasting food that causes the most suffering among white men, but the long continued Arctic nighv of 180 days. Ont hundred and eighty days. that it is not safe for white man to venture many steps outside of the igloo unless accom- panied by an Eskimo, who can see in the dark, like a cat. Inside our home of snow, we pass the time as best we can. We read, we write, we play chess and we play our musical instruments, but about every 15 minutes we must get up and dance around like Indians at war dance, to keep the blood circulat- ing.
 "All men do not or have not gone into the Arctic for financial gain alone. The Eskimo ever willing to trade his furs and ivory is, of course, source ot rich revenue for the white man, but hun dreds of brave fellows have risked their lives and met death, purely in the In terests of science and education. Once z man has seen the midnight sun, the won ders of the Arctic twilight and the coming of the sun again ill the spring, and looked over the endless fields of ice and snow a longing to return is strong. My ob- jeet in the far north was to get motion pictures of the animals and birds, and am glad to say that I succeeded in get ting them with icebergs and other won- derful scenes of the frozen north. Come and see them; they are worth while"

The Payment Of Teachers

The Arizona Federation Of Labor has before II pro
possI that movement be undertaken throughout the
state to bring about the payment Of school teachers io
- months instead of for nine at present Ihougn
Arizona teachers are highly paid, teachers salaries
90 the contention has been made by president R. B. Won
KleinSmid of the University of Arizona and oy otheI
educators that it is hardly fair to leave teachers OFT the
payroll for onefourh of the year. that they are left
in ideness and without income for too long period
1t is not certain however, that the present move
ent is wise even if it prove successful Boards OF rus-
tees allotted a certain amount Of money for Their
schools maintenance during nine months term, Wouo
scarcely do otherwise than divide the salary fund by u
instead of by nine at present Teachers tnen "ouu

II might happen too that boards Of trustees, paying
under this ~ months pan would feel at liberty TO re-
oure their teachers to remain duty during the sum-
mer months teaching such pupils as might care TO at
tend summer school the teachers were paid for their
time during the summer period, trustees could not be
blamed for expecting some service IN return
That would not work out adyantageously Iol lhe
Teachers for several There are many teachers
who organize schools of their own charging 1or

ent earning salaries Of the remainder those who do

vacations take summer in normal schools OF
universities and thus add to their value If all were
Maid in II months only what they receive in nne
and obliged to their class rooms durng those
summer months is not the disadvantage plain?
The onIv way Arizona teachers get around that
difficulty in case the II months payment plan Is
adonted Is in some to larger approprla
lions for the schools they be paid for Y months
as much per month almost much as they now re-
ceiye for nine And larger appropriations come night
back on the public in the form of larger taxes.
