DR. PHILLIPS ASKS PEOPLE ID CONFIRM
 DECISION ON BONDS

The proposed bond issues for the bent- fit of the schools of this city. which are to be voted upon Monday are not new projects, it was pointed out yesterday by Dr. J. H. Phillips
 At the same time as the bond issues for the benefit of the schools are voted upon bond issues for an auditorium, a combined public library and city hall and fire department also will be voted on by the citizens of Birmingham.
 Dr. J. II Phillips the superintendent of schools of this city, in explaining this situation, said:
 "A bond issue of $a,000,0o0 at 41a per cent was authorized by popular vote three years ago for school buildings. On ac- count of war conditions the capital issues committee advised the city not to sell the bonds at that time. Now they ara not marketable at AZ per cent. and must be revoted by the people al a higher rate of interest. Y
 After the Central High school building was destroyed by fire February F, 1918. the people by popular vote authorized the issue of $1,OCo0OO in bonds at per cent for high school buildings. 1t was pros vided that the interest and principal of this issue was to be paid from the pro- | ceeds of the 3-mill tax which had been transferred from the city 5-mill redemp- ton fund tax to the school fund by vote of the people for 9 years. The consti- tuition provides that the county must levy a 3-mil tax before the city can do so: the county had adopted the tax for ie years, and the courts have decided that both the 3-mil tax and the hig hschooi bond issue are invalid because they ga beyond the period for which the tax was Voted by the county
 "Therefore on Monday next the people are asked only to confirm their former decisions in regard to the school bond is- sues and the 3-mill tax, so that tho bonds may be marketable and the 3-mill tax become legal. The schools are ask ing only for funds already authorized in each case by an overwhelming majod- ity of the people.

 Carson Invited to Visit the United States

More than ordinary interest attaches to the coming visit of Billy" Parker to this city. who is scheduled to lecture at Capitol park Sunday, August r, s o'clock D. m.
 Mir. Parker, as secretary and treasur- CT of The Free Press Defense League. the organization which publishes the Menace, at Aurora, Mo-, is just now much talked of all over the country, due to his recent letter to Sir Edward Car son of Ireland, asking that well-known champion of Ulster to this cotintry, and offering to arrange for him a speaking tour, of all principal cities. the purpose of which would be to offset the Sim Fein campaign of De Valera who has been so widely heard in behalf of Irisl, freedom.
 MT Parker asserts that MT. DeValera' s campaign is one of the most pernicious and dangerous experiments which have ever been induiged in, on the American platform, and he asserts that Dr. Car sons appearance here, is of prime impor- tance, since only thus can the cause of Protestant Ulster be properly presented to the American people, and De Valera be properly exposed
 MT. Parker is often called the human dynamo of the anti-Catholic movement and his friends here declare he has thrown a fire brand into the powder magazine, if Sir Edward Carson accepts the proposition.

SOLDIERS ID WELD INT FLUENCE FOR GOOD
Capt. Schwarz Tells of Ex- periences and Impressions
 Gained Overseas

T have been touring over in Europe Nith a couple of million other American tourists, and we have decided that we ought to have a law which would re- quire every American to live outside of this country for about a year, and then he would know how to love it and appreciate it as he should" Thus spoke Captain Leon Schwarz. we'll known Alabama officer, who served in the Ma tional Guard of the state for a mum Der of years, in the Spanish war. on the Mexican border, and with the army overseas in the world war. during the past year. He spent yesterday in Bir- mingham, en route from Camp Gordon, where he had just been discharged from the service on way to Mobile, his home.
 q believe that the soldiers of our great army" continued the captain, who have so recently returned to civil ian life, are going to be a great nflu- ence for good in the life of America The wonderful lessons taught them in army life concerning sanitation. discip- line and efficiency are bound to influ- ence them always, and those who were abroad brought back with them some things which they learned in Europe which will prove of value, and then tHey ledTllSu ol lulHSS over In6Fe Wnlcn are bad and they will be ready tc fight to keep those harmful ideas and things away from America's shores
 Those men who have been the na- tions sentinels in time of war, will feel the same responsibility resting upon them in peace time and in civil ian life. In plain language they will be satisfied with nothing short of 10t per cent Americanism around them and will be on the alert for any symptom which smacks of anything else. We arc going to be mustered out of America army, but not our of Americas ser vice, is a slogan that was adopted by several hundred thousand men ovei there"

Rentals From Building to Aid in the Payment of
 Bond Interest

Plans submitted to the auditorium com mittee as means of helping pay the in- terest on the bonds for the proposed new city hall, library and auditorium, involve the remodeling of the old city hall in such q manner that rentals annually amount. ing to s50000 can be raised.
 investigations by F. E. Butler, presi dent of the Birmingham Real Estate ex- change. and several other prominent real tors. have decided that at least that amount could be realized if certain alter ations were made.
 It is said that the property would not bring S50,00O the first year or the sec ond, but that after 10 years time the aggregate rentals for that period would average S50,000 annually.
 Two suggestions as to the use to which it shall be put are that it either be made an office building or that it would be an excellent situation for & department store. The first plan would necessitate the ex- penditure of Approximately between s75, 900 and sl00000, while for the second the ex- penditures would not be so great.

 Paul Earle. former chairman of the local food commit of the Alabama food administration, stated last night that although he had received no infor- nation regarding the revival Of this war time work, he had noticed in the papers that Attorney General Palmer had requested all state food adminis- traitors to hold themselves in readiness to assist in this work.
 Although the investigation is prog ressing, the first commodity to be re- duced was gasoline, when it was an nounced yesterday by the Standard Oil company and the Wofford oil com pany that gasoline had dropped in retail price one cent per gallon. This brought the price down to 25 E cents q gallon. The Texas Oil company and the Gulf Refining company received instructions to reduce the price of gaso- line about noon, so were selling 1t at 25h cents gallon all yesterday aft ernoon, it was stated.
