CITY ENDOWED FROM COLLECTING THREE
 MILL SCHOOL TAX
Citizens Filed Petition in Chancery Court to Restrain City From Col lecting Tax-Illegal Elec-
 tiOn Alleged

c. G. Goodwin filed a petition in the chancery court yesterday to restrain the city of Birmingham and Dr. N. A. Bar rett, president of the city commission and Commissioners ]. Ellis Brown, Henry P. Burruss John R. Hornady and John H. Taylor from collecting a three mill special school tax for a term of 25 years or for any term as the city of Birming- ham has not been authorized by proper proceedings to levy and collect this tax
 The petition states that the election on May 6, 1918, was void and a nullity for the reason set forth above as being vioative of laws and constitution of the state of Alabama. That the city and commis- sioners thereof have no right or power to issue, to sell or to offer to sell said bonds in the sum of s1,000,00O based upon the said levy of special three mill school tax and enjoining the city and said nimea commissioners from issuing, selling or offering to sell said bonds based upon such described tax levy.

 ''The stupidity of man, the All-Wise in becoming acquainted with large and very striking new species of wild animals, is both wonderful and hu- initiating. Consider the cases of the three giraffes of British East Africa. the okapi, the white mountain sheep of Alaska. and the Alaskan brown bears.

US. PAYS WOMEN > LESS THAN MEN
 FOR SAME WORK
Excluding Women From Elk animation for High Grade
 Positions Cuts Salaries

Washington, Nov. A. - That the United States government pays men more than women for the same or comparable work is shown by an of- dcia1 report made public last We'd nesday by the wonan's bureau of the United States Department of Labor of which Miss Mary Anderson is di- rector. The report is based on studies of the Civil Service Commission's s records mads by the wonlan's bureau with the cooperation of the commis- sion
 The records compiled show that for the first two months of 1919 (which Is the period studied) s6 per cent. of the 4,6s9 women appointed entered the service at salaries of $900 to ST. 299, while only 36 per cent. of the 3,270 men appointed entered at those rates, the mems pay running much higher.
 The prevailing rate for women typ ists was 1000 to S1,O99, for men tyPists s1,100 to s1,199.
 Men who passed the examination as law clerks were appointed in th- war risk bureau at salaries ranging from $1,20o to $3,500, but women taking the same positions were paid s1,100 to $3,000.
 Women statisticians, whose work requires college training and some practical experience, were appointed at salaries as low as $1,200, while men received $1.S00, S3,O0O and s4,- 000. Only one of the 5 women ap- pointed to managerial, supervisory office organizing or seer retarial posi- tio1ls received as much as most o1 the men received, namely $2,060 an6 over. The other women received from $1,200 to $1,400 and s1,600.
