Good Roads Work in Alabama

There is a great deal of good road work being done" said Judge w. w. Brandon, one of the three aspirants for victory in the coming governors cleo ton.
 "The only proper way to secure CO., ordinated good roads is through the state legislature, and it seems that Jefferson county has devised the right plan for putting the proposition before that body. Team work and a concen- tration of effort are all that is needed. Good roads are investments that pay dividends not only in money but in in- estimable enhancement of property valuation They are the only means of bringing most of us in touch with na- ture."

Modern Health Crusade

We are reaching the 100000 school children with the modern health sys- tenn, known as the modern health cru sade, with the aid of the various county superintendents of education" said Dr. George Eaves, secretary of the Jeffer- son County Anti-Tuberculosis associa- tion, ''and a large number of teachers have been reached primarily with this health purpose in view, but ultimately may go over the ground with seals and we estimate that the sale will average 200 per teacher.
 If this can be done the league will be able to do more than it has done yet.
 There is very keen interest in the extreme south as well as north of the state in this campaign, and so far as one can judge by indications, there is fair prospect of our being able to add health nurses to the welfare forces working in Alabama. These nurses will be employed by the state league, and will be distributed among counties as money distributed through counties shall warrant
 very special regard in the matter will be paid to rural negroes"

* # * Tobacco Defended by a Non Smoker

l M0 OTHING is heard now of the N anti-tobacco propaganda. A few years ago certain leaders of the movement to ban smoking, following the victories of the Anti-Saloon league in many states, declared the time was coming, and that soon, when indul- gence in "the weed" would be so drowned upon as to revolutionize the tobacco trade; that eventually the sale and even the growing of tobacco would be prohibited.
 But these fanatical agitators against the tobacco habit were poor prophets. The weed in it's various forms is more in demand than ever. One of the things the American people are doing to make the soldiers in the trenches happy is to supply them with tobacco. The old notion held by some extrem- ists that smoking was not only one |of the most pernicious of habits, but that In large percentage of cases it was fatal, has been exploded by scientific authorities.
 The London Lancet, one of the highest authorities on hygiene, came out few years ago on the side of to- bacco, and especially the cigarette. Like other good things in life the smoking habit is sometimes abused. but abuse is the exception to the rule.
 The New York Sun reproduces the substance of an article which ap- peared recently in the Italian weekly. La Stomaco, devoted chiefly to food topics. It is from the pen of Giuseppe Amalfi, and his argument, the Sun thinks, is remarkable mainly because of the fact that he is a nonsmoker. Amalfi says:
 It is customary to speak ill of
 smoking. This is done now and has
 always been done. Yet most men
 and not a few women smoke. There
 has probably never been so universal
 and hospitable means of pleasure
 It reaches all the masses, the bulk
 Of the nation, including every degree
 of education and wealth, ignorance
 and poverty. There are not merely
 thousands of occasional habitues who
 go to smoking for inspiration, but
 millions of regular adherents It is.
 therefore, absurd to say that smoking
 Is harmful. An injurious effect of
 tobacco is not due to anything in the
 weed, but simply to the fact that a
 number of boys and ill-conditioned
 men are in the habit of exceeding
 their rations.
 The beneficial influence of tobacco
 is misunderstood by those who call it
 drug. It is not drug except in the
 sense that tea and cocoa are drugs.
 It is medicinal substance in large
 doses, since 1t excites the juices of
 the stomach and promotes appetite
 and digestion. In some instances the
 effect of large doses is sedative and
 so smoking may diminish appetite. But in war even oversmoking has it's uses, for it economies food In this day of tobacco's greatest popularity it is we'll to know that the 1917 crop in the United States is the largest ever grown and that it's quail ity is far above the average. The gov ernment estimates it's money value at $249, 100000 against $16e,OOO,00 in 1916.

PROF, MAT THEWS DIRECTOR FUR
 GREAT SYSTEM

Seventeen years ago, Dr. A. J. Mat thews entered upon his duties as presi dent of the Tempe Normal school and from that time until now his every waking thought seems to have been centered upon the successful upbuildlng of the great institution to which he is giving the best years of his life. It IS highly probable that Dr. Matthews will not approve of this public commenda- tion, written without .iis Knowledge CT consent, but much, very much indeed, of the present magnificent proportions to which the normal has attained Is due to the unceasing efforts of the presl- dent, and the splendid corps of instruc- tors with which he has been sur rounded.
 | When pr. Matthews began his work, the Normal school had an enrolment Of S6 students, and no training school. The | equipment was inadequate and many of the modern appliances and methods were of course undreamed of. But the doctor took hold. He talked normal; he cajoled unwilling legislators; he availed himself of every source of information; he planned by day and by night, and ] doubtless often there came before his minds eye, vision of the normal of ! today; school with an enrolment of i 797 students. With a modern training school where there is furnished the best l of instruction for grade pupils and op- portunity for seniors to have actual ! teaching practice under the supervision of trained critic teachers-a model ru

TEMPE STRONG
 IN EDUCATION

Tempe, the educational center of Arizona, is beautifully located on the south bank of the Salt River, nine miles east of Phoenix, on the slope of the Hayden Butte which rises over three hundred feet above the town.
 Surrounded as it is by a rich and ex- tensive agricultural area, it is natural ly thriving business center. Its bu- sness houses are extensive and up to date. Every thing necessary to make life pleasant and comfortable can be obtained here at all seasons of the year. The town is lighted by electricity.
 A more delightful winter climate is not to be found on the face of the globe than that of the Salt River valley, and the average temperature taken from the United States signal service reports covering a period of ten years, shows three degrees higher than Los Angeles. two degrees higher than San Diego, and almost the same as that of Flor ida. Through the winter months, beautiful flowers bloom and oranges ripen.

AUDITORIUM |S
 WELL EQUIPPED

An auditorium that comfortably ac- commodates one thousand people and that is equipped with a thoroughly modern stage jointly with an up-to- date gymnasium, composes one of the buildings on the Normal campus. The auditorium has been commented on by many travelling road companies and has always been designated as among the best school theaters to be found anywhere. It will well compare with any show house in this state.
 The auditorium has the main floor, seating seven hundred people, and a gallery accommodating three hundred people. The finest of orchestra chairs are provided, the building is steam heated, the floor is excellently graded giving a splendid view to the stage from all parts of the house, and the gallery is hung by a system of truss work that obliterates all obstructive pillars on the lower floor.
 The stage is immense, particularly in width. Its scenery equipment is good and supplies nearly all scenes that might be wanted Views of a garden scene, an open wood set, plain and fancy interior views, street scenes and several marine scenes compose a part of the stage equipment All of these scenes were painted by the celebrated F'lagg Scenic company of Los Angeles as was also the huge drop curtains.
 The auditorium is generally used dur ing the school term. All of the lecture course numbers are given there, many of the amateur school productions are also staged there, and the occasional | chapel assemblies of the students held there.

One of the most important of stud ent organizations at the Tempe Nor maj and one that has established be- yond any doubt it's permanent life in the school is the Tempe Normal Student association Its purpose is to foster and regulate student actiVi- ties, most particularly the athletics and the Student paper and so sue cessful was it's mission following it's inauguration last tenn, that it is bound to gain even greater recogni- tion during the new year. All students of the normal are eligible to join the association and are particu- larly invited to do so, and in recon pense for the unusually small annual fee that is charged, they are per mitted free admission to all athletic games played on the home grounds during the year, their subscription to the student paper is paid for the year, and they are given season tickets to the winter lecture and entertainment course. Over fifty per cent rf the students availed themselves of this ciuo offer last term and now that the organization is permanently estab- lished a far greater membership is anticipated in the future
 The association financially backs all forms of athletics and the student paper. The executive committee is composed of the managers Of the Va , rious branches of athletics and repre- sentatives from each Of the other de- l partments of social activities in the 1 school Meetings of the association are held regularly and the students
