ELIMINATING ILLITERACY

The members of the society appeared even more deeply interested in MT Bankhead's discussion of bill fathered by himself in the House and Senator Smith of Georgia in the Senate having for it's object the wiping out of illit- eracy throughout the country
 "Ths bill" MT. Bankhead told his audience, "provides an appropriation of $12,000,0O0 annually for seven years to be appropriated among the several states in accordance with their needs and their population above 10 years of age.
 "The purpose of the bill is to expend this money in a concerted and aggres- sive campaign for a period of seven years At the end of that time if great progress has been made, as surely 1t will be made, and there is need for an other appropriation, it is unquestion- ably certain that Congress will act ac- cordingly."
 MT. Bankhead was unusually active as a member of the educational com mittee so active that Representative Kitchin of North Carolina, majority leader of the House, declared "the ed- ucational committee has been made a great committee through the exertions of the gentleman from Alabama"

SOME CHEERING REPORTS
 The report that the kitchen help at the Tutwiler hotel had subscribed for $500 worth of bonds. making 100 her cent record, elicited hearty ap- plause.
 There were 258 soldiers and workers at the luncheon and all were enthus- iastic over the prospects of finishing the work this week. They state that it is less trouble to sell bonds in this campaign than in any of the other four, that the people they call on subscribe without waiting for persuasive talk, as many of them did on former occasions. and that they are subscribing liber- ally.
 The French army reported subscrip- tions amounting to $150,O0O. the Italian army $186,505 and the labor division $2O00, with only one team reporting.
 The women's committee. according to returns made up to noon. has sold s15.50O worth of bonds.

WILL PROCEED ID BUILD POSTOFF|CE WITHIN
 NEXT THIRTY DAYS
Underwood Says Postmaster May Occupy New Building Christmas. Completion Scheduled For Early
 Spring. Cause of
 the Delay

Work on the new $1, 900, 900 postoffice on Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street will be ac- lively resumed within the next 30 days, according to a state ment of Senator Oscar w. Un- derwood yesterday.
 The senator inspected the local postoffice yesterday and will write to Washington today regarding the crowded condition existing there.
 THE SENATOR'S STATEMENT
 ..Work on the building was
 stopped several months ago." said
 Senator Underw ood. "on account of
 the high price of material and ia-
 bor caused by the war. hut we are
 going after the matter vigorcusiy
 now and expect to secure results
 in the very near future.
 of work is resumed within the
 next few weeks, as I believe it will
 be, the postm aster will be able to
 move in by Christmas and the
 building will be completed by the
 spring of 1920.
 "Although the troubfc with the
 bondsmen and contractors has not
 yet been settled, we expect to have
 matters arranged so work can pro-
 ceed within 30 days"
 THE POSTMASTER TALKS
 Postmaster R. B. Smyer, in speaking of the matter said: With the crowded condition of the postoffice the ein- ployes are forced to work under a handicap at all times and it is most necessary that we have larger quar- ters Of course the present building was erected when Birmingham had q population of 15, 900, and is inadequate for the business of the city at present During the past year the amount or business done in every branch or the service has largely increased and each day the need of the new building is more keenly felt. However, with Sena- tor Underwood pushing the matter we feel sure that work will be resumed on the new building which will be completed and ready for occupancy by the first of the year"
 CAUSE OF DELAY
 The delay. as previously reported, has been due to the desire of the gov ernment that the contractors find means of finishing the job without financial ruin to themselves, If the contractors fail. the bondsmen, who have on deposit to the credit of the government $1250,000 will be required to complete the work
 The indications are that the "calI' for action has been issued.

AN UNSOLyED PROBLEM

He expressed deep interest in the speech of Sidney Story of New Orleans, marine expert, at the Southern club Tuesday night.
 MT. Story" said Mir Bankhead. talked of the government disposing or these merchant vessels to private citi- zens and concerns. Those already placed on the market brought only 40 per cent of their initial, cost. The gov ernment having expended vast sums in constructing these vessels. must not suffer such terrible losses.
 '"However, I have no solution for the problem at the present time. But this is destined to be one of the big sub jects Congress will be called upon to handle"
 MT. Bankhead came to Birmingham to address the Joycrofters, literary and humanitarian society. He was greeted at the Tutwiler yesterday aft ernoon by a large and enthusiastic audience. He spoke of rehabilitation of soldiers wounded in the service, and or rehabilitation of those bearing injuries received in industrial undertakings, provision for whose care, restoration and vocational education is contained in bill introduced by the speaker and pending before the House at present.
