MUSICAL NOT S

Yesterday was day of choi ce music in
Birmingham. Many of the churches had
especially artistic programmes IS. At the
Church of the Advent last night the
vestal choir under the direction of Prof.
Fred L. Grambs, gave with singularly
impressive effect, Dubois beautiful can
tata, 1.-THE Seven Last Words of Christ y
The programme opened with prelude
played by Professor Grambs, organ; Oil
yer Chalifoux, violin and Mrs. Oliver
Chalifoux, harp. Mr.. and Mrs, Chalfoux
accompanied the singing throughout.
The Sunday night offerings at the
Tutwiler are always worth while from a
musical standpoint of view, but last
night the programme was of exceptional
merit, including as it did several SYM
phonic numbers. Weigan's orchestra was
in fine form-piano, violin, cello, bass
viol, flute, clarinet and saxaphGne. Among
the best rendered numbers were the AN
dante from Tschaikovsky's Fifth SYM
phony," Largo" from Dvoraks New
World symphony and the nj arch from
Raffs 'Lenore symphony.

Four and Half Billions at

continued from ri age one.)

The So per cent rate of the tax exempt
notes, into which the Ans are convertible,
is Il per cent higher than the tax ex-
empt first Liberty Bonds which mature
in 80 years.
Secretary Glass has announced repeat
eddy that the terms of the Victory Loan
would be such that it might be regarded
more on a commercial basis than past
issues. In all his speeches, however, he
has emphasized that the patriotism of the
American people must be relied on to
make the loan a complete success.
The coming loan is the only loan silVe
the first on which oversubscriptions have
not been accepted in whole or in part
Compared with the Sc, 49,, 073, 900 subscrip
lions of the fourth loan, the aggregate OF
the Victory issue will be nearly $500, 600
less.
CERTIFICATES EXCEED LOAN
Already S., 355, 100000 certificates of in
debtedness have been issued, including
the current issue, in anticipation of the
Victory LIBERTY Loan, but 6O0,0OO,0o0 o.
these have been called in for immediate
redemption. There will remain outstand-
ing 5000, OO0, 900 more certifid ates than pro
ceeds of the Victory Loan, to be met from
tax receipts or from proceeds from fu-
ture issues of certificates
For sometime the treasury had con-

which would have a direct influence in
keeping up the market price of past is
sues, but apparently these plans were
abandoned.
Terms of the Victory issue may be com

FRANCE GETS SARRE COAL
Rx afed

Paris, April 13.-Although no authorita-
tive announcement has been made of the
terms of the settlement of the Sarre valley
question by the council of four, some of
the French newspapers claim that France
is to have the right of operation of the
mines in perpetuity.
Other newspapers, however, say this Is
not exact, and that France is to have the
right of operation of the coal mines for
a term of years.
ual extension of French control of the
mines would depend on the result of pie
bescite which, according to the supposed
terms of settlement, would be held in 10 or
Is years.
The Interpretation of the settlement BY
some of the American delegates is that
France will get the coal mines in per-
petuity.

HIS OWN EPITAPH
LAS the soldiers from our country,
privileged to fight with the inter-allied
heroes of all the allied nations, confident
that right and justice will emerge and
shine upon a world freed from absolutism,
turn their faces to their own country, it
is fitting that the patriotic overseas
alumni of the University of Virginia
should mark the place of abode of their
illustrious founder.
"Mr. jefferson had the vision to assess
his own contribution to the world. AL
though he had held high office almost
continuously from his young manhood
he justly regarded position as only OPP
portunity for service and directed that
only three of his acts be inscribed upon
the simple granite that marks his resting
place. that he was the author of the
declaration of independence, the author
of the statue of religious liberty, and that
he was the founder of the University of
Virginia.
"These acts sprang out of his passion
for liberty, for Jefferson recognized that
the only hope of permanent free govern
men was in the education Iof all the
people. AS inspiration and head of his
policy of education he placed the Univer-
sity of Virginia as a city set upon hill
which in all these years has thrown its
radiance over valley and hill, crossed the
seas and become vertable light to all
who worship at the shrine of liberty

Birmingham's Work
For School Health
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:


Apropos of your editorial on "Ameri-
can School Children Physically Defec-
tive" in this mornings paper, 1 have
pleasure in forwarding you copy of
letter received this morning from DR..
c. B. Brown, assistant superintendent
Birmingham board of education.
DR.. Glenn refers to the crusade that
has been promoted by the anti-tuber-
culosis organizations of this country
and which has been taken up with en-
ergy by the local Anti-Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION, enthusiastically seconded by
the city and county boards of educa-
ton.
Some II rules of health are therein
prescribed and the child undertakes to
keep them in order to obtain the health
hao1t. The several degrees of the cru
saders are referred to in Mr. Glenn's
letter and I am most happy to see that
a very large proportion of the 10000
children in this city. as well as a large
proportion of the thousands of chill
dren in the country, are qualifying for
knighthood
But you should see the health ESSAYS
written by the children! The selected
exercises sent me by DR.. Glenn are
illustrated by suitable pictures and
form a most interesting collection of
spontaneous health material. ANY of

The one notable exception in regard to
this question was accorded by the brew

face of pending prohibition, bases its
hopes of disposing of it's stocks on the
foreign buyer.
An overwhelming percentage of the
members, 10 per cent in seven groups and

THE LABOR PROBLEM

The labor problem was dealt with in
three questions;
DO you favor or oppose legally con-
stituted national board for the adjudica-
ton of labor disputes
Are you in favor of legislation i'm
posing legal responsibility on trade
unions?"
DO you favor or oppose the repeal OF
the LaFollette seamen's act?"
The vote on the first question showed
81 per cent in favor of national .adjudi-
cation board, but some important quail
fications were made The digest declares
that the comments showed general dis
satisfaction with the present national
war labor board on the ground that il
has conceded too much to the labor side
in a dispute and that many manufactur-
ers directly charged that the board had
failed to be impartial, judicial or con-
ciliatory.'
The greatest unanimity shown on any
question was in regard to the placing OF
statutory responsibility ON trade unions
for their contracts and the acts of their
agents. Less than one-half of l per cent
of the replies were negative.
The opposition to the repeal of the La =
Toilette seamens law was also very
small, being less than ~ per cent

last November by President Carranga,
according to statement made to the AS
ISOLATED Press by Leon Salinas, acting
head of the department Of industry and

reau Of that department. Senior Salinas
| declared that, insofar az his depart

| that the department, In Issuing provis-
ional permits for oil interest to sink
Wells, had turned the whole question
over to the congress for final dispose

Discussing reports that Japanese in

transactions and that Japanese oil men

would be possible for them to obtain

seemed hardly probable that any new
