O-OPERAnON Of HOME
WITH PUBLIC SCHOOL
Subject to Be Discussed Friday
Evening at Eastern
High School.

Rev. DR.. John Van Schaick, president
of the board of education, and DR.. Will
lard s. Small, principal of Eastern High
School, are to be speakers at the initial
meeting of the year of the Home and
School Association of Eastern High
School, to be held at the building Fri
day evening at o'clock. The notice
sent out also urges that this is an OPP
portunity for all to become acquainted.
A musical program is to be given
under the direction of Mrs. Frank By
ram. Light refreshments are to be
served by the Campfire Girls of Eastern.
Home and School Cooperation.
Ways in which the home may coop
crate with the school are set forth in a
circular issued by the executive COM
mittee of the association and urging
parents to join the organization. 1t
also gives information as to require
ments for graduation and as to semes-
ter examinations.
Here are the ways enumerated in
which the home may cooperate with
the school:
Each pupil has a special teacher
adviser. The welfare of your child
will be promoted by conference with
his special adviser.
Most pupils will need to study at
home about two hours a day. In some
cases one and half hours will suffice.
If your child tells you he has no home
work, visit the school and find out
why
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-11-08
Regular Hours for Study.

IF possible, see that your child has a
quiet place and regular hours for study.
Also see that the lighting and ventila-
ton are good.
See that he sleeps enough-not less
than eight hours day.
"See that social distractions on school
days are reduced to the minimum. Par
ties, dances and the like on school
days are incompatible with successful
school work.
"See that recommendations of the
school in regard to the health of the
pupils are followed. Mental health and
physical health are inseparable.'

GEN. BENNETT YOUNG TOLEAD GRAND MARCH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BALL
to Be Enlarged for the Big Social Events During the Reuni0n--Veterans' Ball to
 Be Browning Feature

The two reunion balls will be held at the Hippodrome, and in addition to this building will be made which will neces- state the closing of Seventeenth street from Third avenue back to Second, &C., cording to plans outlined by the Sons Of Veterans here and others arranging the two social events of the reunion The committees working on the balls are of the opinion that the Hippodrome in itself Is not large enough to care for the huge crowds which will be present at the balls. It was found impossible to accommodate the crowds at any place in Birmingham, so it was decided to build the annex to the Hippodrome, and it is believed space enough will be arranged in this way.
 The first ball will be in charge of the Sons of the city, while the ball for the second night will be for the veterans. and will be the crowning feature of the soclal programme during the reunion The grand march will be led by Gen. Rem nett H. Young, commander-in-chief of the Confederates. The ball is expected to De one of the most brilliant ever given in Birmingham. It is stated that dance space Will be provided by the addition for 12OO couples

in the union; more cattle will help to make Jefferson county more self-sus- taining and therefore more prosperous But first the cattle tick must be erad- icated.
 Since 1906 cattle ticks have been sys- tematically eradicated from 255,0O0 square miles, an area over four times the size of the entire state of Alabama They have been eradicated from nearly 1O,0O0 square miles of Alabama territory. They are being eradicated this year from F 900 more square miles in this state.
 "The public dipping vats have been constructed in Jefferson county so that cattle can be dipped without any cost to owners. Cattle ticks can be eradicated from this county this year if tte ma- jority of the people vote for tick eradi- cation and give their cooperation to the work. The disgrace and annoyance of cattle tick infesration should no longer be tolerated. The tick should go.'
 According to the government expert after systematic dipping has been done for 12 months. there will not be single tick in Jefferson county. and dipping will TO longer be necessary. The dipping does rot injure the cattle in any way. The rumor that it dries up the milk is all bosh, according to MT. Jackson. The dipping really does the COW good. It cleans the hide, kills lice. ticks and livens the hair.

AGAINST DIPPING LAW

The following petition signed by a large number of farmers is being cir culated in this city: "We, the under signed, do kindly ask the city people not to vote the compulsory dipping law on the farmers of Jefferson county for the following reasons: Every farmer cannot have a pasture for his cattle, therefore they are compelled to let them run at large. We dip our cattle when it is possible and convenient, yet if this compulsory law comes into ef- feet and we have to dip them every two weeks it means loss of four or five days out of every month spent in the woods driving the cattle off the range. What will our crop be doing on those days? Then can't you readily see what a hole this would be putin 2 the farmers in? As this now stands we can take advantage of wet days driving our cattle up and dipping them and then turn to our work when the soil is dry.
 We all appreciate the dipping yats provided for us by the government and take pride in the tick eradication movement. But at the same time we love to enjoy the freedom bought for us by our forefathers Five of the prominent farmers who signed the pe- tition for the election were not aware of the real facts but when they awoke to the truth involved they found it was something they didn't want. We as representatives in part of the agri- cultural class ask the city people to think this question over and not put this compulsory dipping law on the farmers of Jefferson county"

or 2S4 600 quarts more each month, if ha,dled under tick-free conditions This means that, valuing milk at 10 cents per quart, $23, 400 worth of it is lost to hu- manity each month in Jefferson county on account of the cattle tick. It means that 2S4,000 quarts of milk each month that should go toward supplying the homes of Jefferson county are going to support that blood-sucking, disease-pro- ducing pest-the cattle tick. It means that because this parasite so greatly re- duces the supply of milk produced in the county it correspondingly increases the cost of milk production, and likewise the cost of milk to the consumer. This is a matter that should interest every house. hold in the county It should cause every voter in Jefferson county to cast his vote on May g for tick eradication.
 Aside from the large annual loss in milk production caused by the cattle tick,

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 My attention has been called to an article which appeared in The Age- Herald few days ago, signed by H. F. Morris. to the effect that he was not a member of MT. Henry F. Mer- ritt's campaign committee. although his name appeared as such in a previous article signed by the committee.
 The name appeared as H. E. Morris in the article mentioned through a typographical error. It was intended. to be and should have been my name M. E. Morris. I am member of MT. Merritt's campaign committee and am heartily in favor of his candidacy. Yours very truly. M. E. MORRIS.

the annual death rate of cattle from Texas fever produced by the bite of this parasite. has in some communities amounted to IS per cent. It has killed many thousands of dollars worth of cat tie in Jefferson county. It will continue to prey on the cattle industry of the county until either the cattle industry is eradicated or the cattle tick is eradi- cated.
 CATTLE UNDERSIZED
 Cattle which have been raised under tick infested conditions are undersized and the meat of poor quality and tough. The cattle tick penetrates the hide of cattle and helps itself to the juices and nutriment, leaving for the use of man kind what there is left of the emaciated animal. The result has been that large proportion of the beef consumed in Jeff ferson county has been shipped into the county from the northern and western states where the cost of producing beef is greater than it would be here if Jef- ferson county were free of cattle ticks. In the meantime there are vast areas in Jefferson county where cattle could, were it not for the tick, be profltably grazed that now produce nothing for human con- sumption.
 Iowa has S6 cattle to the square mile; Jefferson county has 20 cattle to the square mile. Cattle have helped to make Iowa one of the most prosperous states

Ships Underwater Eye Sights Hidden
Mine.

To assist battleships and de-
stroyers in locating submerged
mines, an American has develop
ed an under-sea searchlight
equipment which, when used in
conjunction with a special water
glass, makes it possible to distin-
guish objects at a distance of 200
feet. A powerful electric lamp
is mounted on one side of a YES
sci below the water line, at its
bow. This may be turned to
different angles by an operator
on deck. Immediately forward
of this is the glass, similar to a
modified periscope, forming the
ships under-sea eye and used te
follow the illuminated path.
When a mine is located in a yes.
sells course a torpedo is launched
which may be discharged cleo.
trically. This is watched and al
the proper instant detoned, thus
exploding the mine. 1t is be-
lieved that the device could alst
be used on mine sweepers to ad
vantage. Popular Mechanic.
