boys by establishing a military course

 If he had only practiced one-tenth part CT what he has preached while in of- flee it would have been better But it set ms as though every little while he has got to pop off. His ambition seems to be to play in the spotlight ail the time. Why don't lie give the public a rest from his views?

 Old Concern

After more than a quarter century business at Second avenue and Twen- tieth street, Nortons drug store has moved two blocks north to the southwest corner of Fourth avenue and Twentieth street.
 The new store, which is considerably larger than the old. has been remodeled and painted and new fixtures installed. making 1t one of the most attractive drug stores in the city.
 Nortons drug store is closely hooked up with the commercial building of Bir- mingham Norton's corner is by-word in the city and state. The business was founded by the late F.. B. Norton For several years it has been conducted un- christ
 The location of Nortons at this cor ner emphasizes the expansion of the re- tail district and the movement of busi- ness to the north. Three drug stores Borber- Ramseurs, Arnold Masberg's and Norton's are located at this intersec- tion.
 We needed room to grow, needed ann pier facilities to care for increasing busi- ness so we have moved to a larger and a better store," said MT. Gilchrist. This is a good location and it Is getting bet ter every day. We have been delayed in our remodeling work here and have been out of business for a week, but everything is in order now and Monday we formally welcome the public to Nor toms new store at Fourth and Twen- tiethb

SCHOOL MARMS ARE
 RESTLESS WHILE ON ENFORCED VACATION
Closing of Jefferson County Seats of Learning Works Hardships on Local
 Instructors

The suspension of all public schools in Birmingham and Jefferson county until November has left the teachers of those schools in an unsatisfactory frame of mind Having taught just long enough to get the running gear" of their re- spective school machinery properly ad- justed and working smoothly, they had settled down. to hard work for anoth- CT nine months will all the earnestness of former sessions.
 To plan the curriculum of school and to classify it's pupils according to that curriculum is no easy task and it must have been with reluctance that the teach- CTS dismissed their classes, although they are receiving salaries just as if they were at work. When schools reopen, all of the work of organization and classifica- tion will have to be done again, and it will be much harder than at first, for a holiday "spoils' a pupil his mind, nav ing been diverted for several weeks, will not be as flexible as it was when the schools were closed. Besides, the loss of time will be detrimental to his mental progress.

A principal of one of the city schools told an Age-Herald report CT the other day that he would much rather work than not. both for his own sake and the pupils. He said he felt like a fish out Of water" But, or course the situation arising from the epidemic of influenza was unavoidable, and nobody's fault, and the true spirit ed teacher will bow in submission to it, as people of ether professions have done.

Few Cars on Streets Yesterday, Though
 Gas Ban Removed
Whether Bad Weather or Patriotism Held Cars in Garages Is
 Speculative

Although the ban on pleasure cars was removed by the United States fuel administration last Friday, compara- lively few machines were on the streets yesterday. It may have been the weather and the slippery streets that kept them in their garages, or it may have been through force of habit acquired during the half dozen or more Sundays that patriotism and sound Judgment prevented their use, but at any rate pedestrians walked the streets and crossed where they pleased without facing danger at every turn
 Ordinarily thousands of cars are on the streets of Birmingham on Sunday afternoons. but scores would have bet ter defined the numbers yesterday. Streets that in former days were lined from end to end with fast speeding machines hardly knew them yesterday sO ipfrauuent1y did they mass

 Liberty Loan signs are expected to disappear from the windows today, and merchants will get down to busi- ness as far as the flu will per- init.
 It will be a day or two yet before the counting is done, and the final figures are given out If they don't go to 12 millions or more, l am miss ing what I consider shrewd guess
 There was no chance for Jefferson to lose out on the quota Behind Chairman Brown and the committees were at least three reserve sources, any one of which would have put it over if it had been necessary to top 1t. The people attended to the little matter, however. If there ever was a popular loan in Jefferson county. the Fourth is entitled to be known As SuCH HdNtH Htu tiilt to SSS around much, but l am told that the residential sections, and especially those of the suburbs, are literally coy cred with the "big red 4's." Some | windows are showing two and three of them: and most of the single 4's are studded with stars.
 The rumor is current that it was known early last week that the quota had been raised and the announce ment was held back. That is not correct. The figures given out in the early part of the week whre based on reports from the accounting de- partment. Chairman Brown and Field Marshal Rushton spent most of Thursday and Friday checking" up with the generals and chairmen Of the important soliciting committees. About 3:a Friday afternoon Chair man Brown said: "It looks like we are over the top, and l am going to give the news to the afternoon pa pers for their final editions" It was

 The drive has gone into History with glory enough to go all around. The allied armies, with enlarged organiza- ton are ready to take the field again when the call comes.
 In his congratulatory message to the allied armies Saturday, Field Marshal Rushton concluded by ask iEg;
 Was there ever such an organi- zation as the allies armies?
 I am going to tack postscript to that and quit. Here it is:
 Was there ever such a leader of a superb organization as Frank Rush ton.

 Young Blackburn was given his prefer ence of going to West Point. Camp Pike or Camp Hancock. He chose Camp Hancock, where he was assigned to the central machine gun training school. To a friend he writes

also insiste that with less than an S-foot, all the year round water stage the Warrior could not be operated ex- cept at a financial loss. The present locks and dams assure only a 6-foot stage throughout the year.
 Following this conference Mir. Sanders went to Washington and few days later Henry T. DeBardeleben, transportation manager of the Warrior, was instructed by Mir. Sanders to have the present War rior river equipment repaired and to take care of such shipping as might be available There are two boats and about 25 barges, which, with slight repairs, could be put in commission, with capacity to carry about Soo,ooO tons of coal year. MT. DeBardeleben immediately went to New Orleans and arranged for the necessary repair work.
 Further inactivity on the part of the administration with reference to the Warrior accentuating the fears of those interested Senators Bankhead and un- derwood and Representative Oliver were appealed to and they took the matter up with Director General McAdoo, with the result that Mir. McAdoo instructed MT. Tomlinson to come to Alabama and make a further investigation ana report on the advisablity of making an appro- priation to cover the cost of such equip ment as might be necessary to handle the present and potential business Of the Warrior.
 Mir Tomlinson, under these instructions, will be here, it is stated, on Wednes- day of this week, and Mir Sanders, 1t IS understood, will accompany him. They are expected to spend a day in Bir- mingham and then make trip down the Warrior, possibly to Mobile, Mir san dars having accepted an invitation of the Chamber of Commerce to visit that city the latter part of this month.

AMERICANS DEFEAT
 PRUSS|AN GUARDS
Corporal Buckley Gives a
 Vivid Illustration of z Hun Kultur

The following letter written on Au- gust 8, by Corp.sG. A. Buckley from a hospital at Nantes, France, tells of fensive in July. The barbarism of the foe is viyidly illustrated:
 Since I last wrote you have had quite a little excitement On July Is the real fun began. The Boche was to open up his bombardment at 12:30 D. m, but we beat him to it by 15 min utes and annihilated the division which was to attack us. His supporting di- vision was also pretty badly shot up. We nipped in the bud the Huns plans to get mere French territory and iln- prove his position. We held him at his starting point and there he is still
 Or July 2S, We were on tine front which is now the most active ore. We had marched through towns and woods from which the Hun had hur- riedly, retreated, finally locating him and driving him out of his position. He is still going so fast that it is hard to keep up with him.
 The~Hun used machine guns on his front and we fought him with Spring. fields, the best little rifle in the world. Those rifles surely can spit fire, and the Hun knows it now, much to his sorrow.
 Against us were the Prussfan guards. the Kaiser's own and Ger-
 many's best, but they went down
 in defeat just like any other
 bunch of Huns would.
 At places we found the gunners chained to their guns and at other points we found that we had killed women in Hun uniform who were op- erating machine guns
 The Hun in his hurried retreat had left behind him huge piles of am1nu- hilton which he intended using on us in his next drive; but we fooled him. Guns of all kinds had been left behind He tried to bury some of these, but the Tanks were right on his heels, so that he made a bad job of it.
 At a few places we found old men and women who were forced to carry ammunition to the Huns during OUT bombardments.
 German airplanes swOoped down
 and opened fire with machine guns
 our wounded who were being
 carried off the field. They also
 bombed our Red Cross station.
 They are not civilized. They use
 the Red Cross for vile purposes;
 their Red Cross station was n nest
 of snipers.
 The prisoners who were brought in did not believe that there were so many Americans over here; they had been informed by the authorities that the submarines control the sea and that the United States is unable to get soldiers over. Even their officers are misinformed
 Souvenirs were plentiful, but we ha no time to pick them up; picking off Huns was better sport
