are quietly visiting their respective sources of information in Birmingham, and getting together at tho end of each day and figuring out the facts in the case upon which they will base their re- port to Fuel Administrator Garfield.
 T have met an old scnoolmate of mine here, whom I have not seen for 20 years [ said MT. Peale We attended Lehigh university together, and since that time have seen very little of my old col lege chum. Priestly Toulmin. It is in- deed a pleasure to be with him and re- count the old days at college, but I am afraid that I am not going to have much time to spend in "reminiscences. and there are so many people to see that I am afraid that I will be crowded for time.''
 MT Peale is one of the most afrable visitors Birmingham has had in many moons. When asked by an Age Herald representative if he could be seen in his room just prior to dinner last even- ing he responded, Sure. come right up; I will be glad to see you. and tell you all I know
 MT. Peale has the name of an author, playwright. scientist or explorer, but modestly says he is just plain busi- ness man, and says he won't say when he and Priestly Toulmin were in school. for then Birmingham would know just hod old he Is, and that Is secret, for he doesn't want the people here to think he is too old to serve Uncle Sam.

 ADDRESSES LOCAL
 BAR ASSOCIATION
Splendid Meeting of Local Attorneys at Civic Association Cafe Yester-
 day at Weekly Luncheon

Another enthusiastic luncheon of tho Birmingham Bar association was held in the cafe of the Civic association yes terday
 The meeting was presided over by MT. E. H. Cabaniss. There were upwards of 50 lawyers present who gave an at- tentive ear to the extended address by
 Forney Johnston, chairman of the Jeff ferson county Council of National De- fense.
 we have a situation" said Mir John- ston, wherein all the wheels of pro- duction have been speeded up to point of efficiency never even approached in the history of our country. The south
 itself witnesses for the first time an ample supply of capital for practically all manufacturers. Plants which before the war scarcely knew where they would meet their weekly pay rolls have now
 been so capitalized that great addi- tional units have been added based only on war orders. The demand for labor was never equaled before. How are we to meet the mighty problem of readjust- ment when peace is concluded? Will it not call for the most absolute and radical changes of industrial Jurisprudence? Will not the lawyer be required to apply his abilities to the very fullest extent to solve this problem?
 When peace is declared surely we cannot say to these industries thus speed ed up and thus so highly capitalized that they must continue on subject to de- structive competition There will have to be some readjustment regulating conn bnations in trade and manufacture which will permit of the reconstruction and re- adjustment that will be necessary to save the industries"

It will be recalled that on February ii 3oo high school pupils suddenly found themselves without school and without equipment of any kind for carrying on their work. When this fact is consid- cred it will be regarded as a remark able achievement that but four days of school were lost, and that at the end of that time the 200 pupils were safely housed and doing their work, In the words of Dr. Phillips, here is how it was done:
 MEANS TO AN END
 All of the grammar school pupils of the Paul Hayne school on the south- side were distributed among the schools Of the Highlands. Seats from the un- burned annex of the Central were ouick- ly installed at the Paul nayne and sn students from the old high school were accommodated there. The University of Alabama, through the president. Dr. | Il. Denny. rendered the use of the old Medical college building. which is on Avenue only few steps from the Paul Hayne. After the building had been rearranged 500 students were installed there
 The Southside Baptist church ten- dered the use of it's commodious Sun. day school rooms and nearly 600 pupils were placed there. We were thus able to care for the 20O0 which had suddenly been rendered homeless.
 We rented storeroom adjoining the Paul Hayne which will be equipped for the manual work and the drawing classes are installed in the basement of the Paul Hayne. The use of the property of the county on Avenue F. which is just across the street from the Medical college, was secured and we are erecting on that site a long wooden building, purely tenn porary, which will have about Is class rooms. It will also have a long gym nasium room and another long room which will be used for a lunch room The work on this is being pushed with the speed of cantonment and it will probably be ready for use within three weeks.
 The arrangement is especially satis- factory, because we have the school work

T have spent the day in talking to operators, principally, while MT. White, my co-worker, has spent his time in interviewing the representatives of labor, that is. the miners.

This is our plan, and we will work dili- gently-as you newspaper men would say ito get the story of industrial unrest in the Birmingham district. As soon as we get the facts, then we may be able to make some announcement. but until then we will have nothing to make public''
 MT Peale spoke in the highest terms of his co-worker, MT. White, and stated that they were in the same office in labor on the fuel board, being Dr. Gar fields chief adviser along this line and that he had never seen a more consci- entious worker MT.

 SALVAGE CREW BUSY
 ''At the old Central High school we have a salvage crew at work saving what they can and it is being stored and care fully watched over.
 Tt will be gratifying to the thousands of former students of the high school to know that the salvage will include some valuable articles. For instance, the col lection of stuffed birds, which was one of the brides of the school Is only par tially destroyed, and perhaps two- thirds of 1t was saved.
 Considerable of our machine shop equipment will be saved and we are now having number of the machines worked over and they will be installed on the Southside. Several of the motors in this department were also saved. The only piano saved was one stored in the annex and. singularly, this was the oldest in strument at the school It was presented to the high school in 1886 and there is a great deal of sentiment attached to this old instrument. Altogether there were probably $500 worth of musical in- struments destroyed
 VALUABLE COLLECTIONS
 "The art collection of the school. which had been accumulated through many years by the students by their en- tertainments and otherwise. was totally lost and it was valued at at least s5000.
 My own private collection of shells and minerals, which was also worth prob ably S5o00 is mass of ruins. The shells are ruined and the minerals are lying in a shapeless mass. It may be that the minerals can be recovered for the most part, and will again be of value to the school as soon as they can be re- classified and relabeled.
 Hundreds of photographs of former students, which lined the walls of the old building. are gone and they can never be restored It is such things as this that make the heart sick. The senti- mental value of such things is incalcula- ble. I am absolutely convinced that the fire of the high school was incendiary, built Is hard to conceive of the fiendish- ness which could carry out such deed"
