Oppose Stabilized Prices.

The Iron Age, in its weekly review,
says that steel producers do not look
with favor on the proposed scheme

matter of price that is holding back

Protecting Remaining Trees


"Out of courtesy to the members of
the Valley Forge Park Commission" !"
said Colonel Cassatt, 'I would prefer
at the present time not to bring the
matter of trees of Valley Forge into
newspaper prominence except to say
that some time ago I protested to the
commission and to certain members
thereof on account of the wanton de-
struction of trees. I am now informed
that the commission, while it regrets
the harm done cannot be undone. has
taken steps to prevent further damage
of like nature"
The commission members are: Col
onel Sayen, John p. Nicholson, John
w. Jordan, j. P. Hale jenkins, Will
liam A. Patton, Richmond l.. Jones,
John L. Windrim, George j. Elliott
and Edward f. Beale.
Certainly it will help if the COM
missioners really mean they win protect
the remaining trees" said Mr.. Newton.
"But it will take, generations for those
acorns and new trees to become shade
trees of value, and supplant those de-
stroyed. The destruction of woods is
something that should be considered
seriously before perpetrated, and some-
thing that should not be left to one
man. or to two or three to decide"

The appeal from a man who has done as much for good roads as Senator Bankhead must prove effective. The statement follows:
 T refuse to believe that the Alabama legislature will adjourn without passing adequate road legislation that will en- able the state to accept and utilize the $5,0Oo,00o appropriation made by the fed eral government to aid the state in the construction and maintenance of roads. Under the terms of the bill, if the state of Alabama does not legislate in a way that will enable the state to match the federal appropriation, the state will re- ceive no benefit whatever from the law. Money appropriated and available to the state to be expended under the direction of the highway commission in co-opera- ton with the federal government will be returned to the federal treasury and distributed prorata to the states that have arranged to accept it.
 "As I understand it, the bill prepared by the state highway engineer. W. S. Keller. in every way meets the situation, and under its provisions the state will receive the entire amount appropriated in three years, provided the state is able

Although enrolment records already are broken at Howard. a large number of students are expected to ar rive today apd Monday, according to statement given out by pr. Charles A.

 Some of the records which Howard will make this year, as already in evidence. were given out as follows: The largest attendance Howard has ever had; the largest senior class more than 30 mem bers already having registered; the larg- est number of freshmen in Towards his- tory; the largest number of students in music, and the largest number of women students ever enrolled, about 50 already having enrolled.

10 put up an amount equal to that ap- propriated by the federal government.
 The law authorizing the federal gov ernment to participate in road construc- ton IS carefully drawn. and every in- terest of the government is priced with due regard to the reports and interest or the states. So far as I am advised, every state in the union whose legisla- ture has met since the passage of the bill have made ample provision for par tcipation in the federal appropriation. Surely no state in the union would be more benefited than Alabama by proper expenditure of ten or twelve million dol lars in road construction, which amount would include the federal appropriation.
 T have devoted much time and labor to the preparation and passage of the law, and shall be greatly grieved if my own state of Alabama neglects or de- cilnes to take advantage of the generous provision offered by the federal govern ment. The Alabama legislature will not meet again in four years, and if the present session shall fail to act favor ably upon pending legislation it will ab- solutely lose all the benefit to which IL IS justly entitled under the federal road act.
 'l beg the legislature to lay aside it's differences, if there are any, and get to- sether and agree upon road bill that will meet the conditions I have care fully read the bill prepared by Mir. Kel- Ter and think 1t is an admirable bill and entirely suited to conditions in Ala bama. l repeat that failure 10 legis- late means that the state will receive none of the appropriation and projects already adopted and authorized and not completed will be suspended
 T do not feel any personal pride in the federal aid act because I happen to be it's author. My long study of the question convinces me that the bill is admirably adapted to the purpose %for which it is intended, and all that is necessary now is for the state of Ala bama to take advantage of it's provisions and secure its legal share of the appro- pration, which amounts to about s, GOO. 600 to be expended within the next three years.
 If the operation of the law is what I confidently believe it will be, there Is no question but that Congress will make larger appropriation before the present appropriation is exhausted
 Tt will be burning shame if the good state of Alabama is the only state in the union which refuses to accept the provisions of the act by failing to pass suitable legislation for it's enforce ment."

LIVE LAUGH AND LOVE"
 AT THE JEFFERSON

The rather ambiguous title of the farce with music which was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night is Live, Laugh and Love-" These words suggest a joyous atmosphere that is lacking somewhat in the piece itself. At the end of the third act a clever contretemps develops, but some really talented people work hard without much to show for their efforts. The theme is that of gay husbands and jealous wives, two pairs of husbands and two of wives, with two of the husbands moving in orbits around one of the wives
 Of the music it can be said that there are some very agreeable airs in Live Laugh and Love-" Several of the prn- cipals have good voices, and the songs, rendered with a small chorus, were the best feature of the performance. One of the songs, ''When I March Down the Street in Birmingham" was evidently written by Sidney Lazarus, formerly of Birmingham, who collaborated with two other men in writing Live, Laugh and Love-" but the friends of MT. Lazarus refuse to believe that he had much to do with the devising of the play.
 Among the principals were pretty Ruth Rolland; Claudia Preston, who has a good voice and dramatic ability; Lillian Lea, a personable French Maid; Kath- leen Fitzgibbon, massive and highly dictatorial wife; quaint Soyfar Akow, a real Chinese maiden; Harry S. Howard, Thomas J. Keogh, Jack Cook and Will liam Gaunt.
 There will be matinee this afternoon and performance tonight, ending the engagement.

 Phil Fox. in this weeks Moving Pic
 ture World, describes the first picture
 show as follows:
 The first picture show In America
 in existence years before the sum-
 beams flashed from the armor of La
 Sale and his intrepid troop as they
 tediously navigated turgid southwest
 ern currents-is still operating in
 Texas
 Before it's vast amphitheatre it dis
 plays the greatest screen on the conti-
 nent Between the flash and shadow of its pictures fierce Comanches and Cherokees, smeared with ochre, once
 danced and whooped with the scalps
 of their enemies hanging to their
 belts.
 'No-He- -Mah," the place of the painted rocks, is the earliest picture show in history, and perhaps the only place in the world where the pictures shown are portrayed naturally. The place of the painted rocks is situated in Conche county, Texas, and years untold the Indians have gath cred for their ceremonials before a vass ridge of shale rock burning and glowing naturally through internal com bustion.
 The flames from the burning oil- soaked shale throw in wierd relief the Indian sculpture and clay-dauoed paintings. The shale, which holds a large percentage of oil, was set on fire possibly by lightning. ages ago. It smolders for time and then breaks into flames in the vicinity of the h. dian paintings.
 During the rainy weather nothing but dull glow is seen, but during the summer nights the light rays make the crude pictures twist and distort into fantastic shapes. Two great hands, their imagery chipred slowly out of the rocks by some Indians hands of bygone ages, seem to clutch and grasp at the spec tator as the oil flames are famed by the wind. An Indian figure, riding what seems O be buffalo, has a steed which bucks and twists when the wind fans the smouldering shale fire.
 The sun, a gigantic conception larger than the side of house, gilt ters and throws off rays when the light effect is right. The moon is also carefully carved in respect to the light and shadows thrown from the natural illumination. And then there are soms clearly later pictures. Possibly they were added by Indians who returned from some great adventure towards | the northeast.
 There is the roughly clipped figure | of church with a cross which is so ! situated as to reflect the light. There | is also a design which looks like d l ship beneath which. when the shale 1 flames rise, is a rippling sea- Other
 designs are grotesaue and unaccount- able
 | The earliest settlers in Conche coun- l ty say that their fathers fathers have l told them that the place of the painted rocks was a sacred Indian ritual ground on which no white man could 1 trespaSs.
 Some of the eastern geological sharps who have flocked to Texas
 since the first oil discoveries declare l that the paint rock vicinity is rich in ! mineral wealth.
