Railway Administration Funds Not Subject
 to Garnishment
Supreme Court of Tennessee Rules Against Attaching Wages of Employe of the Railway
 Administration
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
 Nashville, March 30.-The supreme court of Tennessee also decided the case of Dickens vs. Bransford Realty company, involving the right of a cred itor to garnishee wages of an employe of the United States railroad admin istration. It was contended by the de- fendants that such an employe was an agent of the government and that the ministration which were due him as wages could not in any way be inter fered with by a creditor of the em- ploye. The court of civil appeals held that the wages could be garnisheed, but that no execution could issue to enforce the garnishment until the rail- roads were returned to their private owners.
 The supreme court reversed the court of civil appeals, and held that the funds of the railroad administration were not in any way subject to attach ment or garnishment proceedings by creditors or employees.
 The court held that such immunity had always been extended in this state to agencies and departments of the state government, and that the same policy required the extension of the same immunity to the railroad admin stration as an agency of the federal government The opinion in this case was filed for official publication by Justice Green.

MOVIES WILL BE
 MOB|L|ZED FOR LOAN CAMPAIGN 2,000,000 Feet of Film to Be Used in Explaining Necessity for Buying
 More Bonds
RN Associated Press

Washington, March 3O.-Resources of the motion picture industry have been mobilized for the Victory Liberty Loan drive, beginning April 21. The treas ury department announced today ap- peals which would be conveyed to bond buyers through the silent drama would form the most extensive propaganda campaign ever conducted by means of the screen theatres.
 More than 2,OO0,OOO feet of film will be employed in explaining the neces- sity for buying bonds-"and more bonds"-now that the war has been won. All of the film has been supplied by producers at the cost of manufac- turing, it was said, and the film like wisefwill be exhibited by theatres with out charge to the government
 Chief among the productions will be a 5O0O-foot film, The Price of Peace," which virtually is a photographic rec ord of how the country's billions were spent An animated story of the great war, it contains thrilling battle scenes many of which heretofore have been under the ban of the censor and shown only to military authorities. Among the incidents are the first American att tack on Chateau Thierry, a German plane being destroyed in the air, field piece with its crew being wiped out by shell and American soldiers keep ing the watch on the Rhine.
 This film was made by army signal corps photographers and because it is so vital a record of what American troops did in the war it will not be shown at theatres, but will be exhibited

BOLSHVEISM IN UNITED STATES

New York, March 30.-(Special)-1t was at recent meeting on the East Side of New York that one of the speakers said with emphatic gesture, "Debs, although convicted, will not be permic,eu to serve his sentence He will be released. not by pardon or any action of the authori- ties But the prison doors will be opened and he will be taken out"
 The meeting was one of many which are held almost daily in New York in those parts of the city where men and women who are dissatisfied, and who pro- fess to believe in socialism, even radical ism, dwell. Many dispatches come from the other side of the ocean which tell of the advance of the bolsheviki from Russia westward. But our local author- ities know that in New York city and in some of the other large cities there are many nests containing men and women who believe in all that the bolsheviki pro- fess to hold and who hope to see some thing of that kind established in the United States.
 Some of tfI authorities see something alarming in the spread of these doctrines

For the Good of
 The Community

CUNNINGHAM is essentially an industrial D city; built upon the marvellous mineral resources hidden away in the hills Of the Blr- mingham district.
 Unlike many industrial communities, how ever, the early builders of Birmingham realized the importance of attractive residential dis tricts of schools churches and centers of refine ment and culture.
 The South Highlands, extending from about Twelfth street on the west to LakevleW on the east, distance of 20 blocks, was lald out when Birmingham was yet an infant, With scarcey more neople than two or three of her largest apartment buildings of the present day could house. Later when Birmingham had grown to be city of many thousands of populatl!on ana the need of other attractive residential dlstrlcts was beginning to be felt Glen ITS, ldieWllo, Mountain Terrace Norwood, Chestnut Hlil ana Miner Heights were laid out ana soon fahusollle homes began to rise on them.
 "Tn all my travels in the United States and Europe have never seen anything to excel the beauty and picturesqueness of your Highlands or the view from this spot, :" remarked Ed Pat terson, wealthy catteman, globe trotter ana man of affairs, of Kansas City, Mo-, while drv- inq through the South Highlands few months ago.
 The climate, mild in winter and cool Tn sum- mer. is an attractive inducement that has brought many permanent residents to Blrmlng- ham. J. w Donnelly, one of the city's progressive men. removed here from Cincinnati few years ago because he found Birmingham to have the most delightful climate the year round of any @ community in the country
 Only few days ago three Chicago business men returned home after two weeks here: They had heen accustomed to going to Florida for their winter vacations, but through the influence of a friend they came to Birmingham, played on the two golf links two weeks and before depart ing told Manager Fred Shireman of the Tutwiler hotel that in future when they wanted to get away from business cares, they would come to Birmingham
 In the early eighties Birmingham erected five school buildings that stand today as monuments to the foresight and progressiveness of the men who were then administering the affairs of the city. Four of these-Paul Hayne Powell, Thomas and Ullnan-were for white children, and one-the Lane-for colored children. Since then three high schools and approximately 50 elementary schools have been added, and they are filled to capacity every school term.
 In addition to the city schools, there are two colleges of higher education, Howard at East Lake, and Birmingham Southern at Owenton; and two girls seminaries, besides number of business colleges, private schools and musical studios.
 In connection with the high schools system of vocational education has been begun and plans are now under way to rebuild the Central Hiph school and eUuip it at cost of $6O,OOO for
