 Trouble With GeOrqid
s.................................

Athens, Ga, November 1S.-Georgia Tech had little trouble beating Georgia, 21 to 0. here today. Strupper, Morrison, Johnston and Spence ran through and around the Cracker line almost at will, but several times lost the ball on fum- bles when a touchdown was in sight.
 During the first period Tech gained three yards to the Crackers one, but fumbles prevented any scoring. When the second period opened Johnston broke loose for 25 yards around right end and bucks by Strupper, Spence and Morri- son netting from three to F yards sent Spence across. In the third period Tech obtained the ball ssn the 20-yard line and carried it for the length of the field on long runs and line bucks by Johnston, Spence and Strupper, pushing Spence over over again. When the fourth period opened Tech, aided by a penalty of half the distance to Georgias goal, marched down the field until Strupper broke away for 15 yards and the final touchdown. Fincher kicked all three goals.

Rejoicing in Victory
q Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I am sure you are rejoicing today in
 the splendid victory that has been wor for the children of the state and I should
 like very much, if could, to sweetei
 this victory for you by the assurance that the people are profoundly grateful
 to you for the part you had in bringing
 about the adoption of the edcuational amendment.
 Naturally I am proud that measure
 for which the thinking people of the
 state have been contending for many
 years should have been adopted during
 my term of office, but I wish you to
 know that I do not for a moment as-
 sume that I deserve the credit for what
 has taken place-in fact I do not think
 that any man can claim the honor. Tine
 state of the public mind was such that
 the task before us was all but insur-
 mountable and only by the combined eff. forts of men of vision and purpose ir every walk of life, and even more by the clear, cogent, and convincing utter. ances of the editors of this state were we able to win.
 As official head of the school forces ol this state I wish to acknowledge tho SItdl SclNlCc you nave lSllucitd anu U tender to you the place of honor for ths part you have had in winning this vic tory.
 I wish especially to commend the higl plane upon which you have waged thu l fight in your columns and to express thu hope that the use that shall be made O the privilege gained by the adoption e the amendment will be such as to con vince the public that all who worked fo Ina roc of motives and clear comprehensioi of the public veal in all that was done Very truly yours.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Work for Muscle Shoals

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I read with a great deal of pleas ure the able editorial in this mornings $ Age Herald entitled Muscle Shoals Again 1ndorsed," and am indeed glad to see that now the presidential cleo tion is a thing of the past your val uable paper is once more at work and actively engaged in "boosting" an en- terprise that will prove of untold ben eft not only to the people of this district and the state of Alabama but of the entire south.
 While it is true Muscle Shoals ap- pears to be the logical 1oca ton for the proposed government $20,O00, 900 nitrate plant and "the government ex- perts seem to have reached the con- clusion,' yet that is no excuse for us to sit idly down and trust in provi- dence, or even government experts, but it behooves the people of this sec tion to get extremely busy and to do all we can to aid the Muscle Shoals maps and other necessary data in or der that the claims of Muscle Shoals may be properly presented to the President and the war department.
 To make the proper presentation re- cuires money, and this money must be in the hands of the Muscle Shoals as- sociation by the first of December to enable 1t to do the work heretofore mapped out as necessary. I understand that at the meeting in Nashville last July a delegation from Birmingham was in attendance, and if in fact no promise of funds was positively made by this delegation they left behind them feeling that Birmingham would contribute at least sSoo0 and there fore, in my opinion, Birmingham is at least morally bound to do something in a financial way to assist in land ing this gigantic enterprise within the borders of this state.
 In my opinion, so greatly VIII the entire south be benefited by nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals that every state in the southland ought to get behind the project and boost it for all it is worth There should be no opposl- ton to it's location at that place. But unfortunately, there is opposition. h The Age Herald of November there was published a dispatch from Atlanta stating that concerted attempt would be made by the various Georgia Cham bers of Commerce to have the nitrate plant located somewhere in the north ern part of that state and that with the efforts of the chambers Of poth Georgia and Atlanta combined Uncle sam Will 1lnd the pressure III poh, e |. :, of this section strongly presented. This statement is certainly strong reason why Alabama should nobly eX- ert itself and work without ceasine for the Muscle Shoals location.
 The Birmingham Board of Trade has been working hard for several weeks in an effort to educate the people of Alabama to the advantages to be de- rived by the location of this plant al . Muscle Shoals and in this work that body should have the hearty co-oper- ation of every citizen of the state. THOMAS M. ROGERS. Birmingham, November IS, 1916.

Mistaken

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In this mornings Age-Herald you, in a brief editorial, say: "The citizen whose mailbox is crammed with advertising matter sent out by liquor dealers in neighboring states need not squirm and try to look pious Those fellows have his number" My mailbox is ''crammed with advertising matter sent out by liquor dealers" and defy all express companies and liquor dealers of this nation to show where I ever ordered a drop of the poison. And so defiant and shameless and infamous are the liquor dealers that they have my daughters full name, and are sending their circulars to her! Now this is getting on my nerves. It is d burning shame to send them to me as they do constantly. but it is infamous to beg a young lady to Send for beer and whisky, whom they do not know, and who never did drink or order drink. God acted by Congress stopping such brazen ber"-No one who knows me will believe they have; but they never tire in ''cram- ming my mailbox'' with circulars. offer ing bargains.

Old Kassen National
 Monument Is Created

Washington, November 1.-The "Old Kassan National Monument" consisting of SS acres within the Tongass National Forest, Alaska, has just been created by presidential proclamation as a result of recommendations made by the Secretary of Agriculture. The tract embraces the well known abandoned Haida Indian vil- lage of Old Kassan, situated on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska, about 30 miles west of Ketchikan.
 The village was abandoned by the In- dians about 10 years ago. Among the relics which remain there are about 50 Indian totem poles, five or six of which are classed as exceedingly good speci- mems. In the deserted village there are also eight large square buildings which
 were originally constructed according to
 the peculiar plan of the Haida Indians,
 and which, it is stated by those best
 qualified to know, represent the best
 specimens of Haida architecture that now
 exist. The largest of these buildings is
 approximately 40 by 60 feet in size and
 is made entirely of round and carved timberS. There also remain a number
 of Indian graves with the typical small grave houses erected by the Alaskan In
 dians.
 Since the village was abandoned by the
 Indians the buildings have been rapidly falling into a state of dilapidation and decay and a certain amount of van dalism by tourists and souvenir hunt CTS renders some form of protection es- sential. An examination of the area was made jointly by representatives of the forest service and of the interior de- partment, and reports strongly urging the establishment of a national monu- ment were approved by the secretaries of both departments. The Smithsonian insti- tuition strongly indorsed the proposition for the establishment of national mon- ument. The new national monument will be protected and administered by the forest service as is the cease with all
 monuments located within the national forests.
