NAMES OF HEROES
 ID BE CH|SELED ON
 TAbLETSOF MARBLE
Complete List of Alabama Soldiers Sailors, Marines
 and War Workers Kept
 In Memorial Building

The names of Alabama soldiers, sail
 wounds during their service in the world
 war will be inscribed upon tablets of marble set into the walls of the me- morial building to be built at the cap
 itol by the state and through popular subscription. Those who performed dis
 tingushed service and were cited or decorated therefor will have the added honor that the records of their heroic deeds will be perpetuated in an appro-
 priate manner, as an example to those
 that read their story.
 Records also will be collected and pre-
 served there of all efforts in Alabama and by Alabamians for the winner of the war The Four Minute Men and have their story told, both in the archives and in the commemorative publications that are to be compiled through state
 agencies. This record of achievement
 will also include the names and acts of
 those that contribute to the campaign
 for the memorial building, in money or
 labor; so those that work and those that
 give are making history that will live.
 The Alabama department of archives
 and history keeps the files of practical
 ly every newspaper and other periodical published in the state, and in addition to this, every news story and editorial that appears in aid of the memorial campaign of June 27-July will be pre- served in bound volume. All this will make interesting reading in distant years to come and will furnish material for future historians.
 Already the work of collecting photo graphs and data concerning those Ala bamians who were killed, wounded anc those that rendered distinguished serv- | ice, is well under way. The casualty l lists are fairly complete, and the serv- ice records will likewise be catalogued and kept in the memorial building, that all who served may be remembered. Woman's work in the war will form an important and interesting feature of the tones to be perpetuated by the art preservative, in stone and in portraiture The fact that Mississippi, the parent state from which the territory of Ala bama was carved, has campaign with the same purpose, the same objective minimum of $5o0,000. and on the same date, has given added interest to the | Alabama campaign, and rivalry be | tw cen the two states as to which shall first reach the goal and which shall SC the farther beyond it has already beer suggested in speeches and literature oi l both campaigns.

Plans for the awarding of contracts for the erection of the new $55,0o0 13- room high school building at Shades Cahaba will be discussed at meet ing of the Jefferson County Board of Education called to meet in the morn ing at o'clock.
 The building is being constructed to accommodate the pupils from Il school districts. According to Dr. N. l.. Baker, county superintendent of edn- cation, the school should open up with an enrolment of more than 100 pupils
 Provision has been made for 70 classrooms and in addition a large auditorium. The specifications call for a one-story modern building with no stairs for the pupils to climb All danger of stampedes seems to have been taken into consideration in the plans of the proposed building.
 This is perhaps the only high school building in the state with a similar number of rooms built on one floor.

 pers and Press for Aid

Col. H. E. Hutchens, terminal man ager for the Birmingham terminal dis
 trict of the United States railroad ad-
 ministration. yesterday gave official
 notice to the railroad officials and
 employees of the discontinuance of his
 office on June 20.
 In his letter Colonel Hutchens re-
 fers to the cooperation he receiver
 from he railroad people, the shippers
 and the press of Birmingham. which
 made it possible for the railroads of
 the district to handle the great volume
 of business required of them during
 the war.
 In his letter, addressed to the offi- cials and employees of Birmingham
 railroads. the shipping public and the
 Birmingham press. Colonel Hutcheps
 says.
 "The regional director has notified
 me of the intention to close this of-
 flee June 30, and in giving this notice
 he takes occasion to speak Tn very
 complimentary terms of the good work
 done here and to thank me for the same. I cannot let the occasion SC by without giving full credit to the officers and employees of the railroads in Birmingham, to the shipping public generally and to the newspapers. and I here wish to express to all or these my hearty appreciation of the very cordial support given me in the dls- charge of my work.
 "The good results referred to by the regional director were, in the main due to that cooperative spirit so gen. erously shown me, first as chairman of the committed commission on Car service. later as chairman of the op- erating committee, and still later as terminal manager of the district. Dur- ing this period of service I was at times without defined authority. al- though later was clothed with all that was necessary to secure action. blt during the entire period the support from the railroads and the public was the same-generous and hearty, and with results that I feel assured were of great benefit to all interests. ITO the newspapers and the re- porters on these papers I wish to eX- press for the railroads, as well as for myself, keen appreciation of. and deer gratitude for their aid in giving pub l licity to our aims and desires, partic- ularly during the early stages of ou, | work, when we were so largely de- pendent upon cooperation on the part l of the shipping public. calling for sac rifices to a greater or lesses extent. 'Tn severing such pleasant relations | assure you, one and all. of the re- | gret I have and of my true apprecia. l tion of the support and service given
 and I thank you most heartily 1 Yours very truly, | I'll D. HUTCHENS."

 T was delighted with this endorse ment." said Mrs. Richard Johnston. state director of the Woman's War Savings committee. "and to have the cooperation of this fine body of the state in this important branch of re- construction During the war drives last year they were a great power in putting Thrift and War Savnbs Stamps on the Alabama map. They know from experience how to handle such matters. They make their own money. As rule, they understa nd the principle of buying intelligently saving wisely. and investing safely They understand organization and O. operation. So I am really expecting splendid things from the co-operation and endorsement of the Business and Professional Women of Alabama. not only in purchasing and saving. but In teaching others to do likewise"

 When interviewed yesterday, w. c. Lloyd, superintendent of the Postal Tele- graph company, said;
 Everything is looking brighter. I re- ceived a number of additional operators both this morning and last night, and am expecting still more in. Many of the strikers are going back to work through out this division. The fact that the rail- way telegraph operators have refused to handle our traffic does not injure us greatly, as most of our business is be- tween our offices and does not neces- sarily have to go through their hands.
 STRIKE CANNOT LAST
 q do not think that the strike can last much longer I feel satisfied that it will be over within a few days. We are in a much better condition than l thought we would be- as our traffic is not receiving much delay in any direc- tion."
