Servia Beneath
 Oppressor's Heel

NNTE have heard more about Ger WV man atrocities in Begium and northern France than in Servia, put tho unfortunate Servians have been subjected to much the same fright fplnessn that was visited upon the noncombatants of France and Bel giun. Even the Turks are said to have been appalled, by the fiendlsh acts or their allies who are charged, whether truthfully or not, with having en- couraged the massacre of Armenians by Turkish troops.
 Dr. Anthony Anthanasiados, phy- sicise formerly in the service of the Seryian government, has sent from field headauarters a narrative which adds another chapter to the bloody history of German armies and throws light also on the conduct of Austrian and Bulgarian troops.
 When the Servian army retreated in 1915 from Prishmina, Dr. An thanasiados remained there and wit messed scenes of inconceivable bar parity. Dwellings were footed and torn down, the wood being used for fuel. All the beds were taken from Servian hospitals, the occupants turned adrift and the beds sent to Austria. Bulgarians, Austrians and Germans joined in abusing the towns people and Turkish notable claimed that even Turkish women were vio- lated by Bulgars and Austro- o-Germans, among whom were many officers.
 Similar scenes were witnessed at Belgrade, and at Nish a Bulgarian doctor is quoted as boastlng ot havlne brained twenty-four Servian profes- sors single-handed. At Trenovo, Bull garia, Servian prisoner was mur- dered because he entered the presence of a dentist, to be treated, without taking off his Servian badge. Pillage rapine and murder marked the ad vance of the Teutonic allies through unhappy Servia.
 Time was when the Turks held ths most unsavory record of any civilized nation, but this war has proved tha they are equalled, if not surpassed in brutality by nation which pose. as the chosen people of God.

 These huge and inoffensive crea- tures,' pr. Bell says, used to graze in countless herds upon sea weeds and water plants, but have been nearly extermi- mated like the buffalo. There Is now one protected herd in the Miami river In 1907 the Florida legislature placed fine of $500 on the killing of manatees by in- sane tourists. Since then they have ln- creased wonderfully.

 "The manatee resembles a long bodied broad, rounded tail for swimming. The skin is like that of an elephant, sparsely covered with hairs and about one inch thick. The animal attains a maximum length of 15 to IS feet, and old bulls weigh as much as three-quarters of ton.
 ''The fore limbs are Hoped shaped, and are used for conveying food to the mouth. The female carries her young beneath the flipper and suckles it in this posi- tion, circumstance which probably gave rise to the mermaid myth, since the up per position of the body is out of the water at the time The manatee lives on water weeds, and eats under water. In captivity it win eat practically all veg etables and even bread.

 The association has treated cases of all stages. Tuberculosis, when taken in time, is curable disease, and more important still, 1t IS pre- ventable disease. The association IS all the while directing it's attention to the prevention work and to educating the public, especially the masses, as to the best methods of operation Tn keeping the germs at distance.

School Holiday
 For State Fair

60HE Alabama State Fair opens
 U next Monday, and, weather permitting, there will be an unusually large attendance. It used to be that the exhibits were not in shape the first day and the crowd was compara- lively small. But managers of first class fairs have become skilled organ izers. Everything at the Alabama State Fair will be in place early Mon- day morning, if not before.
 School Childrens' Day has been changed from Friday, as in years past, to Monday. The boys and girls of Birmingham and the county outside will turn out in great numbers. The School Children's Day has been day a holiday and not child should fail to pass through the gates on that day.
 This years fair promises to be the best ever seen in the south. In addi- ton to the varied farm exhibits there will be many amusement novelties. Visitors to Birmingham next week will find the fair attractive enough to make daily attendance worth while; and the people of the city should spend as much time at the fair as possible.

SALARIES OF ALL
TEACHERS RAISED

a general increase in teachers sal
aries, in recognition OF the high cost
of living. was authorized by the school
board Saturday evening at a special
meeting. The new schedule affects
Practically every teacher in the high
and grade schools and even the jan
tors share in the increase.
None OF the teachers receive less
than $40 Increase. The minimum
salary for grade teachers instead OF
ST5 a month as heretofore becomes
SS5 and the salaries OF grade prin-
cipals becomes S11O.
In the high school Principal Drills
salary was increased to $500 year
and the salaries of Mr.. Young. Mr..
Whitman and Mr.. Amort to $1,000
year. All OF the women teachers
were given an increase of SIC a
month.
Mrs, 5. a. Lowell sought to increase
the salaries of the women teachers
to the same figure as that at which
the men teachers We're placed. and
cited state law of 1915 prohfbfting
discrimination against women teach
ers. The other members of the board
took the attitude that Il was not a
matter of discrimination but a matter
of supply and demand. The war has
hit the teaching profession hard as
far as men teachers are concerned.
Principal Drill told the board. and
has caused a demand all over the
country for men instructors. such
demand that schools are offering big
salaries to take men from other
schools. Mr.. Amort had received an
offer OF $500 from Arizona. Mr..
Young had received an offer from the
state university and Mr.. Whitman
from Spokane.
Mrs Lowell had introduced a res
niution last spring providing for sal
ary increases on. the basis OF her IN.

lion OF tho board Saturday night was
