 OF THE. CITY'S BIGNESS"

ssThe housing problem! Why, these men who speak from club rostrums and pretend to speak for Birmingham, with it's big. warm heart, do not know Bfrm1nE- ham. Why, if need he. Bfrming- ham, in honor of the old veterans, will throw its homes wide open and keep them open.

 There were others equally as indig- nant as MT.

JUDGE FORTS STATEMENT
 FOR CIVIC ASSOCIATION
 The president of the Civic associe tion, Judge Fort, expressed himself yesterday in this manner:
 ''The Civic association is in fa- vor of bringing the reunion Of Confederate veterans to Bfrming- ham and voted to do so several weeks ago if the other civic organ izations would join with us. The association did not think it could undertake it alone.
 "Personally I do favor it. don't thin kthere is man in Bir- mingham who does not want to
 bring the reunion here. But the main proposition seems to be the

AUTO OWNERS ARE
 IGNORING THE LAW,
 SAYS MIR. TAYLOR

 Police
\ tip for drivers: \ police ssdrive" prepared!

Birmingham automobile drivers are not abiding by city traffic ordinances said Commissioner John Taylor yester- day.
 The polce department has been very lenient with them in the hope of get ting their cooperation. We have looked over many small and apparently insig nificant violations. But summer, with increased use of automobiles is com ing and we are going to insist that the ordinances be observed very strictly.
 Parking cara in the center of the downtown district is threatening to de- lay traffic and result in more strenu ous measures being taken by the city commission" he continued. "As a word of warning to automobile drivers, l want to say this:
 If more care and consideration are not taken by drivers in parking their cars and regarding traffic ordinances, we will be forced to require that no cars be parked in the main thorough fares of the downtown district be- tween First and Fifth avenues.

Polytechnic
Good Term

The Maryville Polytechnic school
is now closing the best fall term in
its history. The enrolment has been
a record breaker, and the number of
students expected to come for the
winter and spring term is in excess
of former years. If there are parties
near the school building who have
rooms to rent to students they will
do well to get in communication with
Pref. Henry, as rooms will be in de-
mand.
The high character of work done
by this school, together with its eff
cient faculty and moral and religious
training, has attracted the attention
of educators everywhere, and this is
one of the best known institutions of
its kind in the south.
All members of the faculty are
normal school and college graduates,
especially fitted for their respective
work.
The business department of the
school is attracting larger numbers of
boys and girls. Positions are assured
all who graduate from this depart
ment, which is under the personal
supervision of Prof. Henry.

Progress at
Porter High

The most successful term of the
Porter High school, thus far, will
close December 10th. The winter
term will begin December 29th and
continue three and one-half months.
The work of the fall term has been
very gratifying indeed, the enroll
ment being larger than it was for the
entire school year of 1918-1919.
Students, who are expecting to enter
school here after Christmas, are
urged to make arrangements at once
as accommodations are limited. Some
boarding places may be had and few
cottages rented at present.
Porter High is the leading public
high school in Blount county. All
members of the faculty who have
been in the school during the fall
term will remain through the winter
term. Last year the community IN
stalled an electric light plant for the
high school building; this year, they
have already added library to the
school and built a concrete walk in
front of the main entrance and are
now raising-with the help of the
county-$7500 to seat the high
school auditorium with opera chairs.
The success of this effort is not
doubted. A dormitory is sorely
needed to make the school the largest
success that the future holds for it,
This may be erected within the next
year or two.

ENGINEERS ARE
IN BIG DEMAND
LARGE PROGRAM OF ROAD
BUILDING IN TENNESSEE
CALLS FOR MANY MEN
OF TENNESSEE OF
FERS SPECIAL TRAINING TO
EQUIP MEN FOR THE JOBS

A little more than a year has
elapsed since the signing of the
armistice and during that period of
time a vast amount of money has
been made available for highway
construction. Bond issues totaling
1888, ,0UO,OU0 have been voted Ill
eleven states, and before the end of
1919, the voters of seventeen more
states will have an opportunity TO
decide on road bond issues totaling
$664, 100000. A vast possible total
of one billion dollars in state bond
issues.
Link this amount of money with
the Federal aid and regular road
funds of states, cities and counties,
and the figures reach amazing pro-
portions. Many contracts have al
ready been approved for construction
in 1920, and a year hence we will no
doubt have placed the largest mileage
of public roads under Improvement
ever known in the history of any
country.
The demand for better highways is
nationwide and of course Tennessee
has not Jagged behind. The State
Highway Engineer states that by
January /, 1920, surveys will be com
pleted that will require the construc-
tion of S5,000,000 worth Of new
work. Contracts have already been
let for more than $2,200,000 on
Federal aid projects. and more than
100000 on State aid projects. Sur
yeys have already been made for
more than $3,000,000 worth of work.
These figures, of course, only repre-
sent the new construction which is
being authorized in Tennessee, and
do not take account of the vast
amount of money that is being ex-
PENDED by the several counties. The
grand total in the State by January
|, 1920, will probably reach $8,000,-
In addition to the new work. the
several counties of the State have
maintenance funds of thousands of
dollars which should be properly ex-
pended. The problem before the
engineers of this State, and before
the engineers of every other state, is
the proper scientific handling Of the
large amount of funds that are being
made available for highway construc-
tion and maintenance.
There is great shortage of
engineers. Each county of the State
will need someone in that county to
properly assist in handling county
and state funds. In order to meet
this need the University of Tennessee
in cooperation with the State Depart
ment of Highways, is giving a special
course of instruction in Highway
Building and Maintenance. This
course does not claim to turn out a
finished highway engineer, but the
information obtained by proper pur-
suance of the course will certainly be
of great value in helping with the
highway program. The following
courses of study will be open from
January II to February 20.

BULL WINNER
Or. HUCGINs LOSES FINE CHAM
PION BULL IN FIRE on WAY
HOME
MISSISSIPPIAN ANGUS BREEDER
PLANS TO LOCATE IN BLOUNT
COUNTY SOON

Tennesseans should be proud of
their record at the international Live
Stock Show this year. Never before
in the history of the International,
has one state carried away two grand
championships in one year from this
the greatest of shows. And this
coupled with the fact that our near
neighbor, Georgia, captured the third
Grand Championship in beef cattle,
makes our sup of joy all the more
full. The winners, were all men OF
moderate means, men who have made
their herds, and their showings by the
dint of their labors, and are not just
breeding and showing cattle for a
iversion or pastima.
DR.. ]. l. Huggil cambridge, has
a herd of about 1876 ngus, and wltE
a small herd select ror r. ase he
won not only Grand = hip
with his bull, Idolmere, Du. =
was also given the Argentina silver
medal for being the best specimen of
the Angus breed exhibited at the
International.
He won first and second places in
their class on his junior yearllng
Angus heifers.
The shorthorn Grand Champion
ship was won by L. l. Little of Fay
ettesville, on Lespedeza Collynie, and
the Hereford Championship by E. E.
Mack, of Thomasville, Georgia, on
Bonnie j." Further down in Dixie
z. C. Herlong took off Grand
Championship in the hog line, with
one of his Poland China sows. The
south is beginning to awaken, and
when she fully realizes her possibili-
ties and begins to take advantage OF
them in earnest, she can divide honors
with any other section of the United
States.
One thing which the people OF
Blount county should remember is
that two of the herd bulls Of this
county are half brothers of the Grand
Champion Idolmere, and that we must
get ready to take stock and begin to
appsef7ate what we have here at
home. ~
Almost in the midst of our rejoic-
ing over the winnings of DR.. Huggins
at the International, we received word
that the car on which his cattle were
being shipped back to cambridge had
caught on fire, and that two of. the
four had burned to death, and that
Idolmere and the remainder of his
show herd were in a critical condition
on account of the fire. Since receiv-
ing that report Idolmere has died,
and the remaining animals of the
show herd are still in bad shape. This
was a. great blow, not only to DIR.
Higgins, but to the entire Angus and
livestock interest of the nation.
Money can't replace such individuals
as Idolmere. They represent years
# selection, breeding and care. DR..
Higgins, however is fortunate in hav-
ing lot of the blood of this great
bull in his herd back at home, and in
5he fact that many of his cows this
year were bred to him. We in Blount
county have quite a bit of the breed
ing of Idolmere in two of our herd
bulls, and in calves by him. 1t is by
no means impossible to produce
another Grand Champion from this
same strain of blood, from hls rela-
tionship back at cambridge or in the
knobs of Blount county.
