Directing Committee Urges Citizens to Secure Place ment of Two-Mill Tax
 and Save Situation

Members. of the committee of educa- tors who have in their charge prepara- tions for directing the campaign for the two-mill tax election to increase the school revenue, yesterday made the following statement:
 Because of inability to pay living salaries to the teachers, the schools of Birmingham face the most critical sit uation they have known.
 Experienced teachers, finding it irn- possible to meet the greatly increased cost of living on the meager salaries paid them, are being forced into other lines and the efficiency of the teach ing force Is being steadily undermined Unless something is done to relieve the situation, irreparable injury will result
 'Lowered efficiency in the teaching staff means a lower standard of de- velopment on the part of our children The evil consequences will fall first upon them, and then upon society, which must inevitably reap the con- sequences of failure to provide ade- quately for the training of the young
 The urgent necessity of increased pay for teachers is the most pressing problem with which the school authori- ties are confronted but the steady in- crease in the number of school chill. dren, necessitating the employment of additional instructors, forms another basis of need, and unless relief is forth coming it will be a physical impossi- bility to meet these problems.
 ITO put the case bluntly but truth fully, Birmingham is threatened with an educational collapse, and nothing can save the situation except increased revenue.
 ''The City Commission, recognizing the imperative needs, and the calamity to follow unless relief Is forthcoming, has called an election for Saturday. May s. when the people will be given an opportunity to vote two mills for school purposes. Failure on the part of our people to vote this tax would be a stunning blow to our educational system and we appeal most earnestly to every citizen who stands for prog ress through the education of our chil- dren, to rally to this n.nvement and do his or her utmost to insure success at the polls on May 8.
 Birmingham citizens responded magnificently to every call made upon them during the war. The necessities of suffering people everywhere were responded to by them, and now at time when the educational progress of their children is imperiled, we know full well that they will respond un- hesitatingly when they are made aware of the gravity of the situation. In car- rying this knowledge to all our people we solicit the cooperation of every or ganized force for civic betterment, as

SALVATION ARMY
 GIVES A RESUME OF YEARS WORK
Has Given 3OO,OOO Meals, 1,50O,000 Beds; Conducts 26s Homes and Hos
 pitals-Secured
 46,590 Jobs

Men who analyze a proposition by its merits may be interested in hearing some of the achievements of the Saliva tion Army in the United States and gaining first-hand idea of the work of this organization as expressed in statis- tics for the year.
 One of the greatest works of the army comes tEder the head Industrial Homes" These are institutions where men or women are put to work under the general theory that the devil finds mischief for idle hands to do. Through the industrial homes large amount of economic loss is averted As a. single example, the Salvation Army. by collect ing waste paper, has been able to sal- wage 5000 tons for newspaper, maga- zine and book publishers within a period yof twelve months. More than 50 per cent of this is high-grade magazine paper. The Salvation Army was able to give jobs as waste paper collectors" to thou sands of men who otherwise would have been unemployed.
 The army, with it's 1890 officers and cadets, conducts twenty-six homes and hospitals, with average annual accom- modation of 1,500
 The army conducts three homes for children, with an accommodation of 40 in one year and an ndea of what actual work these homes entil is obtained from the fact that in the year 100000 meals were supplied in these three childrens homes alone.
 They spent 9,9o3 hours and 15 minutes by actual statistical count in visiting men in prison last year. Sixty-eight thousand men behind the bars were pleaded with and advised on subjects which they themselves brought up Upon F4i pbo, 2 t,1Ir1 ta ward better and more practical life.
 1t has given temporary relief to 709,- 351 people outside of the industrial homes and hotels, the figures being for one year. Practically 5000 mothers were given summer outings, and to the 5000 mothers were added vacations and sum- mer outings for 8, S66 little ones Out side of army institutions 46.590 men have been given jobs, and women to the num- Der of 1s,7S have found employment out side of army institutions through activi- ties of Salvation Army workers. In ad- dition to the enormous number of meals given, 9oo.0o0 were given in a year. out side army institutions. The army dis tributed 3l5,o0o pounds of ice and i, 1,ss2, 900 pounds of coal to the poor in the course of twelve months
 RELIEF
 The Salvation Army. which has now been in existence in the United States forty years, has grown from one little room in a furniture factory in Phila- delphia to an establishment of 953 corps and outposts- It has 3,042 officers and cadets
 In one year it has had over 152,oM meetings and practically s,Oo0,0O0 peo- pie have been counted at those meet ings. That is for indoor attendance only, because the street metings and outdoor gatherings conducted by the Salvation Army has seen more than 1s01S, 40 peo- pie gather around the singers and the speakers.
 The army has counted s27sS converts to better life as the result of the one years work of the 9S3 establishments in

 Montgomery. April 17.-(SpeciaL)- )--z An alarming increase in the number of dipping vats destroyed in Alabama by dynamiters in recent weeks caused Governor Kilby Saturday night to an- nounce that the entire power of the state will be used in stopping such violations of the law. Spontaneously the governor issued a proclamation of- fering a reward of s400 for-the arrest and conviction of every person for the destruction of dipping vat in any county
 Governor Kilbys announcement said dynamfters in some counties had be- come so bold as to issue advance warn ings of the destruction of vats and to threaten the lives of citizens who be- lieved in the enforcement of the cat tie dipping laws and to warn county officials not to make an effort to stamp out the dynamiting
 The dynamiting of vats was started last year when the legislature made cattle dipping wide and compul- sorry. The governor then issued proc lamation offering a reward of $200 for each conviction. His proclamation Sat- urday doubled this reward.

 Review

We are gratified to state that there is considerable number and growing number of citizens who are awake to the sound wis dom of acquiring residential lots at present prices. Residential property in Birmingham will in evitably advance in keeping with the growth of the city. Desirable property of this class is already scarce and will be difficult to get hereafter. Consequently, if ever there was a bargain in real estate at the present time, it is the vacant residential lot, deslrably located, properly improved and priced on the basis of the cost of improve ments made previous to the war.
 We are offering limited num- Der of such lots, on that cost basis, in Mountain Terrace, Cliff Road, Altamont Road, Central Park and Fairfield, and would commend them to the attention of those who earnestly intend to GET THE LOT NOW. To workingmen, we would say that our lots in Central Park, on location, transportation facili- ties and gen(ral desirability, are the best values ever offered to them.
 We are now offering, for imme- diate possession, some strictly modern homes, recently complet- ed, on Cliff Road and in Forest Park. The grounds need some working, but that will be done now, as the weather perrnits. We will be glad to show these new homes to those who want to get away from the rental bugaboo and settle permanent1v
