is well known here where he fire
quently visits, has been appointed {
Prohibition Enforcement Officer for

Journal had the following about his

TO his friends here:
Col. Fl. Rowan Saufey, who has
been deputy collector for several
years was called to Louisville Tuesday
where he was informed that he had
been made Federal Prohibition En-

very important one and COL Sauney's
authority and territory will have no
limit. He will have half dozen or
so picked men under him. will be

big increase in salary, also. He viii
continue to make his headquarters
in Stanford, but will be away from

Sauhcy will make good in the work
those who know him will not for ar
instant doubt. He has had much OK
pcricncc in raiding and has been ex-
cccdingly successful. Deputy Collect
or Mcfarland, who has been raid

man in that line he ever saw. Said
he: "He is absolutely fearless, is as

But the other side was not unrepresent-

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle answers chal-

the devil doesn't know his job. And. If

School Teachers Are Paid
Less Than Street Sweeper

WIZ the announcement Of
w President N. A. Barrett of the
city commissioners that there is no re-
lief in sight for Birmingham's public
school teachers is discouraging to
them, as well as their we'll wishers,
obviously the commission through no
fault of it's own cannot at present
do anything for their relief. The sit
uation is most unfortunate, but is
largely the result of Birmingham
cramped financial condition, which is
matter of common knowledge.
Nevertheless, no one can read the
appeal of the Birmingham Teachers
association to the board of education
without being struck BY the grievous
way in which an important class of
workers are underpaid. The duties
and responsibilities of school teachers
have been often set forth. >Upon
them devoIves the task of instruct
ing and shaping to large extent the
moral characters of the nations fu-
ture manhood and womanhood. Even
if there were none of these great re-
sponsibilities attached to their work,
which call for rare qualities in the
teachers themselves, it would still be
manifestly unfair to pay them the in
adequate wages they now receive.
1t is not difficult to imagine the
feelings of teacher who has served
faithfully in the city schools for ten,
fifteen or twenty years and now re-
ceives a salary less than the wages of
a day laborer.
The minimum salary of a school
teacher in the Birmingham public
schools is $3.50 year. Figures were
presented to show that the lowest lost
of living, including board, laundry and
carfare, is $500 a year, leaving $50 for
clothes, amusements, medical attend
. ance and incidental expenses. The
average salary is about $500 year.
Even that leaves pitiful margin.
Unfortunately the conditions Of
which the Birmingham teachers COM
plain are not limited to Birmingham.
They obtain throughout the United
States and as a result there is a
shortage of competent teachers that
can never be remedied until they are
paid at least as well as policemen
and firemen.

plifying once more the truth of the
old adage about an i'll wind.
The largest soft drink concern in
America, the Coco-Cola company of
Atlanta, gives it's official figures for
shipments last month of 1,972,399
gallons, compared to s24,S13 gallons
in the corresponding month of last
year. For the nine months which,
ended September 80, 1919, the COM
pany had shipped fifteen million gal
Ions and expects to ship a total of
more than twenty million for the year,
equivalent to two billion five hundred
million bottles or glasses.
Other soft drink concerns have seen
their business grow by leaps and
bounds, but the factor of publicity
still plays an important part in this
branch of business, along with the
quality of the product and the appeal
lit makes to the public palate. There
are so many different drinks now on
the market that persistent advertis-
ing is necessary to fix in the mind Of.
the erstwhile consumer of sstrong
waters the drink he must call for
when he diffidently steps into an en-
porium of kickless beverages.

Soft Drinks Profit
BY Passing of Liquor

THE demise of John Barleycorn
u took millions out of the pockets
of liquor dealers, but it put millions
more into the pockets of soft drink
manufacturers. Small bottling plants
which were struggling along, trying
to make both ends meet, found them
selves on the road to prosperity and
makers of soft drinks, whose name is
legion, were suddenly lifted from sela-
tive penury to great wealth. There
are several soft drink concerns here
in Birmingham whose stock was of
little value few years ago and now
cannot be bought "for love or money"
The same situation prevails in scores
81 other American cities. thus exem-

Selfish Auto Drivers

Birmingham certainly has a large
number of automobiles said A. A. Da-
wilson, "and on both sides of the street
and avenues in the downtown sections
they are parked. 1 have noticed that
there are still few people who do
not park close to the other cars. but
occupy space large enough for two
cars. This is an injustice to other
drivers who would like to park their
machines, and in Ntnese times when
there is comparatively small parking
space for the number of cars owned
and operated in this city it seems most
selfish. If all drivers would park at
the same angle and close together
there is comparatively small parking
Der OF additional automobiles in the
parking space"

TO A GREAT EDIrOR

ellis at the SEVENTEEN anniversary
celebration of Mr.. Alden's birthday:
In every human life. however filled
With obvious proofs of wisdom and
of good.
The vaster part is void to minds un-
skilled
In sense of things less seen than un-
derstood;
And they who know you only by the
things
That you have. done, or suffered to be
done,
Know you not, Alden, in the inmoss
springs
or soul that rather shun than seek
the sun;
Poet more poet for beauty than for
fame.
Sage for the sake OF being. not
seeming wise.a
Preacher of truth, and not Of praise or
blame,
Critic whose law inspires as well as
tires, -
You who have deepened and enlaE.
You shall. remain when it has p.ss
away. n
