highly polished, Christian gentle men, are doing work that would be credit to any institution i'm the land. With more equipment and greater cooperation on the part of the citizens of Bfrming- ham they could be caused to do a greater service for our city. Hav- ing title in these two leading de- nominations, whose records edu- cationalIy are universally recOg- nized, and having an established following, their successful opera ton is practically assured.
 The bedrock and foundation stone of either of these schools is the fullest development of it's stu dents. Influences arc thrown around them that will tend to the highest moral growth. After all, the best developed man is the one who is developed the most uni- fOrmIy. Few are the schools, and they are fast passing away, that do not tend to the development of the moral as well as the other facuI- ties of students being. At these institutions the atmosphere is most cOngeniaI for that full growth.
 MEANS MUCH FOR CITY
 
 The combined student bodies and faculties of these two schools numbers nearly 45O people, who live in our midst for nine months in the year, buying our cOmmOd- ities and patrOnizing our commer- ciaI institutions. In addition many or these same people, seeing the opportunities of Birmingham. will cast their lot with us, thus bring ing to our city the cream of Ala bama's young manhood.

 Dear Sir-Having read with great deal of interest your sug- gestion made several days ago in regard to the civic organizations of Birmingham getting behind Howard and Birmingham colleges, and having carefully read the let ters of NIT.

 The work of our Chamber of Commerce in locating industrial institutions is a very cOmmendabIe work, for our commercial and ma- teriaI interest must be advanced. As important this work is, however, we must not allow it to OvershadOw the erection and main tenance of our educational insti- tutiOns, which develop the highest type of intelligent citizenship.

Let us not forget that our re- sources are mental and spiritual as we'll physical and material.

Prof. G. Stanley Hall of the Clark
university. United States, places the
subject of applied psychology on a
high plane in relation to the war. He
states:
whatever system has been emf
ployed, 1t is evident that applied
psychology has produced results in
this war which it was never possible
to attain before. Men have endured
more, they have shown more heroism
and daring and have submitted to
more punishment than in any pre-
vious war. No such slaughter would
have been possible In former wars
without provoking panic. This has
unquestionably been due to the sys-
tenn of psychological selection, not
only for the various grades of service
but for special activities within each
grade. Our country may as well think
of going to war without frst-class mil
itary equipment as without a knowl-
edge of applied psychology. The coun-
Gil of national defense seems to have
recognized this; and the National Re
search council within that body will, /
understand, contain representative
psychologists"

NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
for Those Now Used, Because of
Advance in Prices

The recent advance in price of many
of the more commonly used metals has
led manufacturers to adopt or consider
the adoption of various substitute
metals or alloys for certain purposes.
The advice of the bureau CT standards
has frequently been sought in this con-
nection. An interesting field of inves-
tigation is opened up by such inquiries.
1t appears that the metals tradition
ally and currently used for various
articles are in many cases no better
adapted for the purpose than others,
and slight difference in price would
warrant a substitution. 1t is not usu-
ally possible, however, to suggest sub
stitutes offhand, as there are many
factors involving manufacturing pecu-
liarities, durability and other physical
and chemical properties that first have
to be determined. There is" says the
bureau, "a very wide field of research
here, which would undoubtedly repay

ANNUAL CENSUS TAKERS
HAVE MANY ESCAPES
Numerous Thrills Accompany Job Of
Counting Wild Animals in Yellow
stone National Park.

Livingston.-There are $4,000 elk
1000 bears, and deer too numerous to
mention in Yellowstone park. This re.
port has Just been made by twenty
one rangers who started out to take
the census.
The cost of the census in thrills
and narrow escapes runs very high.
In brief form some of the minor cpl
sodes were:
One ranger Rugged by bear.
One ranger thrown from horse and
later gored by buffalo bull.
One ranger falls from top of Mount
Washburn.
One ranger shattered all sprinting
records when his horse deserted him
and a grizzly only a few feet behind.
One ranger, who had never been able
to climb a tree, scaled one of the
tallest pines to the topmost branches
with a grizzly paving impatieutly at
the bottom.
The story of the census is one which
has never been duplicated in the con-
fines of the park.
The first adventure was when the
party came upon a trapped bear. The
horse threw the rider and the enraged
beast charged on the man Selling him,
but was shot before the ranger was
greatly injured.
Another adventure was in the herd
ing of the buffalo. One of the party
came too close to one of the wild ami
mails. He escaped but the horse he
was riding was seriously injured. A
well-directed moose and lariat halted
further damage.
