gram this week an exhaustive, scien- tific indictment of John Barleycorn and all his works.
 Every variety of opinion of alcohol ism and the proper methods for regu- lating liquor traffic is held by the delegates.
 French representatives of the Ligue Contre PAlcool conceive prohibition as applying to brandies and cognac-but not as to light wines. Some of the Teutonic representatives except beer, and several Scandinavians favor the "Bratt system"-consisting in ''liqu- or card' system and licensed drinking clubs.
 A remarkable attendance is sched- uled at this years congress, countries and delegates being generally anxious to secure data as to the success of complete prohibition here.
 Although the congress is expected to give great impetus to the anti alcohol campaign throughout the world, no definite organization to se- cure worldwide prohibition will be formed here. In addition to the vary ing views of the members, the con- gress regards prohibition as a purely national problem.
 Americans in charge of the affair call attention to the puredominance in the membership of independent scien- lists, economists nd sociologists of re- pute, and the comparative absence of clergymen and so-called professional temperance advocates"
 Prof. Dr. J. Gonser of Berlin, is a member of the executive committee in charge of the affair and will deliver an address. Prominent foreign names on the program are: Dr. Ley, of the University of Brussels; Dr. Legrain, Paris; Dr. P. Amalfi, Florence, and Dr. Eudo Monti Turin. Americans in- cluded on the program are William Jennings Bryan, Attorney General Palmer, Secretary of Navy Daniels, and Dr. Harvey w. Riley. The chair man of the American executive com- mittee who made arrangements for the congress is Edwin c. Dinwiddie, for merly of the Anti-Saloon league.

one as in Plan II. They would re- ceive instructions for experimental and observational work before the meeting and at the meetings consider ation of type phases of the work and suggestions for putting the ideas in to practice in the schools then being taught. Each lesson would be made particularly practical and possible of immediate application in different grades. Under this plan one member of the faculty would direct one line of activity at a certain meeting and another member at another meeting. Some of the following subjects will be selected for meetings held this year: School Supervision, Community Leadership, A Good English Drive, How the Child may become better ac- quainted with Nature, Methods in History, Special Points in Effective Management, Making Arithmetic Practical.
 Plan ". This course is thought of as a "vitalizing course" It contem- plates the purchase by the Normal School of several sets of books SUD- plementing those that individuals and schools might wish to purchase. Some one of the books will be chosen for the first meeting. A list of dozen or so meaningful questions will be sent each member of the class around which his thoughts during reading will center Then at the meeting round table will be conducted discussing how far and in what ways the ideas of the book can be and should be put into immediate practice in the schools rep resented in the group. Ideas will be exchanged and a part of the next meet ing given to reports on the results of trial of ideas brought out at the last meeting. At the second meeting another book will be chosen and so on through the course. Some of the books to be used this year are as follows: The Brown Mouse, The Corn Lady, Evolution of Dodd, Penrod, Phelps and his teachers, Jean Mitchell's School, Emmy Lou, etc.

pay his taxes. and II the court decides
in his favor the government will refund.
Any way you look at it. the govern

 BY THE GOVERNOR

 for Murder

Montgomery, July 30.-(Special) )-Mrs.

 Prison records show that she had served the state faithfully and efflcient- ly. She was highly regarded by War den Hamp Draper, who said she had been giving good service in the woman hospital ward of the penitentiAry. In ruling on the woman's application for clemency, the pardon board said that there was some doubt whether she killed her husband and that if she did commit the murder she had great provocation- Beason, records show, frequently came hcme drunk and would beat Mrs. Beason and the children. One day in June, lSeo' he was seated by the fireside with shot gun in hand, Mrs. Beason claims. She discovered him in the fireplace. his cloth ing burning furiously. She put out the flames and then discovered he had been | shot. She believes that he accidentally l killed himself There were few records 1 in the case. Governor Kilby considered | that she had served long enough ano granted the conditional parole.
 The governor also pardoned John w Wright, convicted in 1908 and sentenced to serve twelve years on charge ol kil,jng John Bailey. Wright was flrs
 paroled in 1912 In June, 1920, Governor
 Kilby revoked the parole. short time
 aro several hundred citizens of Dekait county. where Wright formerly lived, pc
 titioned the governor to parole the mar
 the second time. The governor followed inc recommendation of Dekalb count. 1 citizens. after Investigating the charges
 which caused him to revoke the HTS parole.
