CITY SEEKING ID ACQUIRE ENTIRE BLOCK FOR SCHOOL Plans for New Central High School Are Under Con- sideration by City Com
 missiOners

In the city attorneys office examina- ton is being made of the titles to the several properties of the city block bounded by Seventh and Eighth ave nues and Twenty third and Twenty fourth streets, where the new Central High School building is to be erected.
 That there will be no difficulty in closing options and purchasing the properties is the belief expressed by city officials. No trouble was met in securing the desired realty for the site of the Woodlawn High School which is soon to be built, the property CTS there, in nearly every instanc operating with the city in transfe the necessary space.
 However, the opinion is official pressed should any difficulty aris city has available condemnation 3fs ceedings which will immediately iegf the trouble.
 Fred G. Moore, the city attorney ea the titles examined so far seem in shape
 John R. Hornady, commissiore ot education. has received a number of pictures of high schol buildings throughout the country from W. B. Itt ner, supervising architect for Birming ham, among which is the picture of the Grover Cleveland High School of St Louis which style of architecture is looked upon with favor. II has a dis tinct Gothic influence, but this famous sort of construction could not entirely be followed out because of the need for great windows for light and air, necessary in school structure. The building in question Is built of brick and limestone, three stories high, and so made that the central part can be nucleus to which more room may be added from time to time without de- stroying the fine effect of it's lines.
 The city has but s750,0 900 to start the new Central High School plant The land must be bought, an area of nearly city block. and lot on the north side of Eighth avenue. 100 feet wide and extending back 10 the railroad lines, where the heating unit will be installed
 II is the present expectation of those handling the matter to begin the plant with Ia double "L" building in the cen ter of the block composed entirsl1 ef i halls and class rooms the ata atgfium and other necessary parts of tN eeNf- ment to be installed later. The same plan will be fol eWcf st the Woodlawn school for whiei t. | 900 is available.

CONDITIONS BAD IN ARMENIA, SAYS
 DR. SEALE HARRIS
Murder of Three American Relief Workers By Ban dits Emphasizes Insecu-
 rity Life in Near East

The recent Associated Press dispatch relating to the brutal murder of three
 American relief workers by bandits
 while they were in the act of conveying food and supplies to the stricken popu-
 lation of Armenia was character ized by pr. Scale Harris. chairman of
 the near east relief in Alabama, as be-
 ing of much more than passing interest
 to the people of Birmingham. This in-
 cident, he declared in q statement given
 out yesterday, vividly illustrates the
 terrible conditions of syria. Armenia
 and adjacent territory as far as inse-
 curity of human life is concerned, and
 to the correction of which the near east relief campaign is directed
 Not only are the Christians and Jews of Armenia, syria and nearby ter rltory under Turkish rule, persecuted by the Turk in every conceivable man | ner but their very existence is greatly ] menaced by the lack of food and cloth ] ing" he said. "Fhe murder of the three ! American relief workers conveys i'll [ small degree the great risks taken by i many. hundreds of American relief | workers in an effort to relieve these I distressing conditions, and many have j, met with similar, IT not hoIe uS- 1 plorable fate than these three.
 There is a call upon the people os I Birmingham to help in this great un- ] dertaking and throughout next week
 the work of active solicitation will be
 made They may help merely by Tree will offering adoption of one or the many thousands of homeless starving l children for a given period or by any 1 other contribution, and it is urgently | hoped that the campaign here next week will meet with the favor from | the public of which 1t is so deserN- ing"
 1 Following is telegram received i Thursday afternoon at the state head | quarters of the near east relief;
 'Harpout, Turkey.-IIarpout unit | now caring for thousands of orphans Our children are happy, healthy clean well fed, clothed and housed. Other wretched> homeless children come daily 1 tramping through deep snows bitter cold. seeking admission to our orphan age. May we take them in or must we turn out our own for lack of funds l Many refugees are in the streets and the poor in the outlying districts arc | suffering pitifully in zero weather wearing only indescribable rags. WV 1 have no funds to feed or clothe them l Medicines greatly needed

 This appeal was received at the ma | tional headquarters, New York, an' ! sent therefrom to Birmingham.

NERO FIDDLED'

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your issue of January 9. 1eao vou make use of the following language: MT. W. D. Jamieson, director of the finance flor the democratic national committee heads one of his posters, Nero fiddled while Rome Burned.'' As this exnres- sion is gaining some notoriety. thought |it proper to give some explanation of that |aphorism and the occasion which led to |its use
 Lloyd George, our President and Glenn. |erceau were discussing Germany at Yer |Sdlles. The author wrote w. D. Jamieson afsd used the expression Nero fiddled while Rome burned" but the burning |of Rome was naught as compared with |the bolsheviki movement destroying gov |ernments and civilization in Europe.' gave no further consideration to this Question at the time. When the question | |came up in the Senate as to the ratifica- It1on Of the peace treaty, and wn,cn IS still pending, MT Jamieson wrote me again and sent me circular headed Nero fiddled while Rome burned" in large capitals and in quotations, apply ing the aphorism to the discussion and delay of ratifying the treaty of peace made by the President. wrote Mir. Jamieson and thanked him and appreciated as a compliment that he had not forgotten when I first used the aphorism and applied it to the bolshe, wiki movement in Europe. I could give many more facts. but con. sider this sufficient to establish the ar thorship of the aphorism and it's appiica tion.
 As The Age-Herald has made use of i two or three times. I thought you were entitled to the explanation.
 Mir. Jamieson. to whom it was frs
 written, always puts it in quotation marks. Yours truly,

Raise Fund To Educate
 Three Sons OF Blind Man

For the education of the three boys of Walter Poor, maimed and blind, s276s50 has been raised. A check for this amount has been drawn by The Age-Herald and presented to MT. Poor toward securing education for the boys
 The fund was started some time ago when Walter Poor, who had lost his sight and had been maimed in an ex- plosion some years ago, appeared ir Birmingham and asked for permit to peddle pencils and newspapers on the streets of the city.
 His case attracted the consideration of the city officials and other philan- thropic citizens and a fund was started through the columns of The Age-Her- aid to enable his three boys to secure an education that they might become useful citizens and not be deprived, through poverty, of the opportunities of advancement.
 A list of those contributing to the fund is given below:

the spirit CT harmony prevailed and all ended satisfactorily to everybody con cerned.
 In fact, all routes surveyed and recom- mendeG by the pathfinders were ap- proved. Among these were number of highway. The principal contention of the rival delegations was over the names of these branch lines.
 One in particular, starting at Hot Springs, Ark, and traversing the states of Oklahoma, Texas and Arizona, came
 in for 8 lengthy talkfest. It had been designated by the board at the Mineral Wells convention last April as the scenic route of the Bankhead national highway.
 The Texas delegation objected to the name, contending that fl detracted from the importance of the main route, which crosses the northern end of Texas from Texarkana by way of Dallar and Fort Worth to Fl Paso. The board finally. on motion of Col Thweatt of Arkansas changed the name to the Four States branch of the Bankhead national high way, and the Oklahoma delegation ac- cepting the suggestion. thus ending all controversy on that score.
 The meeting began with a luncheon in the private dining room of the Tutwi1er hotel. at which the visiting members of the board were guests of Secretary J. A. Rcuntree. Every state from North Caro- lima to Arizona wal represented, the fol- lowing officers and directors being pres ent:
