The women of Paris are now smok-
ing publicly on the street. The women
Of London have been given orders to
retire to the smokers Of the trains when
they wish to indulge in cigarettes.
Hitherto they have not taken that
trouble. The women of America are
not so modern, but they are on the way.
IL would startle the readers of this pa

SCHOOL NOTES.

Ire report CARDS were handed To TN
pupils of the public schools on October
22d. A brief analysis of the high schoo
averages follows Senior Class, 81 6
Junior, SAT, Sophomore, 1872, anC
Freshmen So
The following students received the
highest averages in their respective
classes Margaret Unger, Senior Class,
Bernice White, Junior, Marian Adams,
Sophomore and Jack Jeuck, Freshman.
On the whole the work of the first six
weeks was of very satisfactory nature.
Parents are asked to cooperate little
more fully where students have failed
in any subjects. By offering the right
encouragement to the student and by
interviewing the teacher occasionally
setter grade of work will be done
The large number of failures in the
grades indicates that our promotion
system is not flexible enough to meet
the needs of our pupils. A reorgani-
cation will soon be perfected whereby
we will promote semi-annually instead
of annually. Those pupils in given
grade, who cannot do the work of the
grade will be placed in classes only half
a year behind instead of full year be-
hind. Then we will have classes enter
ing the high school in January as well
as September. No reorganization of the
higa school work will be necessary.

REPUBLICANS SHREWD
 IN PICKING ISSUES

Washington, January 1S.-(SpeciaL' The republican executive committee, at its Hove feast meeting in Chicago last week. mapped out a very clever programme of procedure, according to democratic observers in Washington, which, unless checked or frustrated, will cause trouble for the democratic nominee.
 In the first place, the republicans took the women politicians into the innermost recesses of their camps. In the second place, by seating a Louis- jana negro over white contestant, they made a direct appeal to the north ern negro and his white supporters that peculiar ilk which still believes the Anglo-Saxon of the south hostile and barbarous to the colored race.
 According to Washington observers. the republicans took the popular side of the argument when they declared against government ownership of the railroads-against what they termed '@the democratic tendency to socialism" under the guidance of ''the crown prince" If the sentiment of Congress reflects the sentiment of the people, the republicans have the popular side of the debate, although as democrats will probably vote in large majority for the return of the railroads. republi- cans will not have exclusive jurisdic- ton over the pouplar side.
 While the flattering attention paid by these representatives of the repub- Hcan "standpat" school to the memory of Colonel Roosevelt will probably prove more or less effective in winning

WASHINGTON STILL
 FEELS WARS EFFECTS

Washington, January 13.-(Speciai) But for the fact that the sugar bowl has returned to the restaurant table, Washington would have no concrete, visible evidence that the war in its
 rigorous exigencies had been brought to a close.
 Landladies have not restored rentals to their former basis and the grocer still demands the '1ast drop" for his green stuffs. The war tax still pre- vails and extra pennies are demanded when one seeks relaxation in a thea tre Globe trotters returning from Europe tell the whole story when in interviews they declars and prove that one can live cheaper in Paris today than in Washington.
 The war workers who flocked to Washington at the call of the govern ment in such numbers that it became a matter of great difficulty to secure standing room on street cars-and who made it necessary for one to wait in line blocks long in hope of ultimately buying a movie ticket-are still here. There was once talk of paying their fares home. But they are not going The incompetent and the girls who left society for novelty's sake will go. But others will not. Only 1900 out of 100,-

back the Dull moose" throng which followed the decedent, politicians in Washington believe the master stroke of Chairman Hayes was his assault upon the south. He revived the old bloody shirt story which has that section which once attempted to de- stroy the government now in control of the government; that minority sec ton in control, although the north pays go per cent of the taxes"
 In the opinion of democratic poli- ticians, the republicans will go be- fore the country on an antisouth plat form. According to this idea, they will be willing on a false hypothesis to fight the war all over again if by so doing they can return themselves to the pie counter"
 Democrats declare the tentative pro- sramme of political hypocrisy as it is lacking in constructive ideas" but admit that the new leader. as a poii- tician has struck the notes which ap- peal to the passion and prejudice of the mob.

VOTING MONEY FOR HEALTH BOARD WORK
Doctors Claim State Must Retain the Control. of Bodies Handling
 Funds
To the Editor of The kgeHerald.

To the Editor of The Age -Herald The state constitution, section 73 says: No appropriation shall be made to any
 under the absolute control of the state except by a vote of two-thirds
 of all the members elected to each house."
 The makers of the constitution and the
 people who adopted it evidently consid- cred it bad public policy to let boards or | institutions outside state control expend | the public money.
 Under our peculiar and unique health | system, the state and counties and mu- nicipalities exercise no control over the health boards or over the health off
 cials to whom the public morey is paid. If state or county or municipal health officials fail to give satisfactory service, | neither state nor county nor municipal officers can call these health officials to account. They are only responsible, under the laws of Alabama, to the med | ical societies which elect and control them, and the medical societies are re- sponsibe to nobody. How would any, body hold to responsibility the 300 doc tors who compose the Jefferson county DoaTu Ol HedllH' ouT ldWS piONiNC iS way.
 These laws thus provide, within our regular government, another little gov ernment made up of self perpetuating medical societies, responsible to nobody. The supreme court, recognizing the ex- istence of tfis inner government, has ie- cided in the 1S7th Ala bama, state vs San ders, that the state health officer is not an officer of the state, but of the inner governing board that elects and controls him. In a later decision it has sustained the ruling in regard to county health officers, that the county health officer IS not an officer of the people, but of the | medical society.
 Until the legislature that meets this morning can give us modern health system it will tend to embarrass us or Alabama to speak out very loud in meet ing about government of the people, by the people, for the people. A bill for a modern health system Will be offered the legislature and will pro- vide, among other things, that all arpro- priations shall be expended under the absolute control of the state" in the spirit of the constitution and of the era into which we are entering.

Our Foreign Policy

Despite all arguments to the contrary the United States has a foreign policy, declares Roland G. Usher, professor of history, Washington university, St. Louis, in the Forum, and that policy is gong to be a stumbling block in the path of harmony at the peace conference
 There are those.' writes Professor Usher, 'who object vigorously to the term foreign policy who shudder at the idea of diplomacy, who see lurking in those words, imperialism secrecy, mis- trust, the duping of the people, aggres- sion. Yet whether we will or no, we have a policy. Such relations as the United States now has to other coun- tries constitute our foreign policy
 Between the United States and our associates there existed. so far as the war was concerned, so far as the terms .f the armistice was concerned, com plete accord. This was entirely conso- nant with the original position of the President which limited our cooperation to the conduct of the war and to the case of Germany. But despite acceptance of the Presidents 14 points by the allies and by the Germans and Austrians, to say nothing of lesser fry, all is not har- monious for the peace conference and for the future. The United States is not in agreement on some exceedingly im- portant points with the allieA"
