BURDENSOME LIFE
 FOR BOOZE AUTOS
If tho County Doesn't Make d Case the Government
 Steps In

Because of the fact that government prohibition laws are more strict than those of the State of Alabama it has be- come almost impossible for an automobile found containing contraband whisky to escape condemnations proceedings, &C., cording to county officials.
 If the state cannot condemn the car because it's laws do not reach far enough, there is still a large possibility that the government will seize the car when it Is released from the state courts, accords ing to officials of the sheriff's office.
 It is stated that the state laws refer to violations of tho prohibition laws, whereas tho government law on the sub jet of centraband liquor calls for con- demnation of any vehicle found contain ing whisky upon which the government tax has not been paid
 A Ford car sought to be condemned by Sheriff Chris Hartsfieid yesterday was released by Judge Hugh A. Locke be- cause there was not enough evidence to convict under Alabama statutes but no sooner had the car been reelased by the state than federal authorities seized it. Now condemnation proceedings will be heard before Judge W. I. Grubb in the time required by law,
 According to officials, the state had to prove violation of the prohibition law, but Uncle Sam steps in and asks, Let 3 see the receipt where you paid a liquor tax, and officials say this is Ian auto- mobile of another color.''
 Condemnation proceedings against three automobiles are now pending be fore Chancellor Hugh A, Lock- all three of the cars having been taken over by sheaiffs forces, charged with carrying | whisky.

The normal schools which supplN the demand for teachers, have as stu dents in 1920 only AIS per cent of the number they had in 1917. when the demand for teachers was by no means as great. The investigation proved that great numbers of these students do not finish the course. but leave the school to accept positions in other canings before graduating
 In actual figures the annual demand for teachers is s0,000, exclusive of resignations. The estimated total of the students in the graduating classes from the schools in the country in 1920 is only 7.119.
 In 1917 the total number of pupils in Normal schools in the country was 4S,46s. In 1919 the number was 36,- 1eO, decrease of 12 per cent. If pres ent conditions continue for four years without change. it is shown that at the end of that time there will not be enough qualified teachers in the whole of the country to supply the demand In Alabama alone.

Teacher Shortage Placed
 Al 10000; Getting Worse

That p per cent of the total number of school teachers in the county re- signed during the past year to accept positions with larger salaries is the fact brought out by the Board of Education in careful analysis of school teaching conditions in the country.
 The investigators also found that 650.000 teachers are needed in the schools, and that only 610.oo of these were available.
 Teachers numbering 65.oo0 em- ployed in the schools fall below the standard of the well-qualified. which means that more than 10 per cent of the children of the country are going to school to instructors who have not the ability to give them standard in- struction.
 It Is estimated by those who made the investigation that resignations are continuing in the present year to such an extent that they will total 30 per cent before the year closes.

MASS MEETING IN CAPITOL PARK Citizens to Further Express Distaste for DeValera's
 Proposed Visit

In protest against the appearance here of Ramon Devalera. there will be a
 mass meeting in Capitol Park this eve ming al s o'clock.
 If it is raining at that hour. the meet ing will be held in Ben Hur hall
 Several of the city's leading men will address the meeting, among them being; State Senator c. R. West, Capt. Matt Murphy, state commander of the Amerl- Judge Horace C. Wilkinson and Borden Burr
 Some weeks ago the American Legion passed resolutions to the effect that De valeras visit was distasteful This at- titude was eoncurred in by the duly elected representatives of Birmingham. the City Commissioners officially pass ing resolutions expressing the view that the proposed visit was undesirable.
 Since then other organizations have passed similar resolutions. but as far as can be learned. there has been nothing said about the visitor taking the hint.
 Men taking leading stand in the matter have summed the situation prac- tically as follows:
 The merits or demerits of Irish poli- tics are of no interest in the United States; Ireland has been sttae of the British empire for several hundred years, Rut many of the people there sided with America enemies during the World War and forfeited any right they may have had to sympathy among any of the na- tons fighting the. Huns. Sim Feiners are reported to be selling bonds to gull lible Americans purporting to represent a government that does not exist, and are therefore fraudulent. Sim Fein modus operandi leaves little to choose between its methods and common bolshevism. and is therefore obnoxious to decent people; Devalera. being foreigner. has no rights of free speech or any other priv ilege under the American Constitution. save protection if he is observant of American law, and that if he were A true leader of a distressed people he woule be at home with them. instead of leaving an ocean between himself and their Troubles
