building are much more advanced than
are those for the Central high, and 1t
should be under way in a compare
lively short time.
Another matter that was gone into
with Mr.. Ittner was the urgent need
of additional facilities at the Ensley
High school. The needs of this school
have multiplied greatly during the past
few years and the time has come when
something must be done. Sketches
showing what are considered to be es-
sential improvements will be prepared
at once by Mr.. Whilldin, following the
conclusions reached at the conference
with Mr. Ittner. and these will also be
submitted to the board of education. 1t

to do the essential things without
further delay.
'sOur grammar school programme,
which Is being held up because there is
no money available for the payment of
the interest on the $2,000,000 of bonds
authorized some time ago, was also
gone over with Mr.. Ittner and when the
money is made available to take care
of the interest we will be in a position
to go forward Immediately with the
work OF erecting the elementary
schools that are so sorely needed. We
are hopeful that this problem will be
solved within the next so or 80 days.
COST HAS INCREASED
an the erection of the new buildings
we are confronted with very serious
problem in the greatly increased cost OF
construction. The work it was planned
to do with the money requested when
the school bonds were first voted, VIII
cost vastly more today than it would
have cost at that time, and 1t is ex-
ceedingly unfortunate that unavoidable
delays have occurred. Now we must do
the best we can with the means avail
able, and to become available when IN
terest money is voted and go as far as
we can to meet the situation. 1t VIII
not be possible to make any of the new
buildings what we had hoped to make
them, but in carrying on the work ev-
cry effort will be made to treat every
community alike and meet the needs OF
one in the same proportion as we meet
the needs of another.
THE elementary school situation.
serious enough as it is, will become
more serious with the incoming of some
5000 additional children in February
when the 6-year- old children enter. The
hope of relief here lies in the future
action of the people under the constitu-
.tional amendment voted upon December
80 1t gives the right to vote the money
necessary to go forward. and believe
the people win furnish the means when
the election is called. The result of the
election upon this amendment has not
yet been announced officially, but such
an announcement doubtless will come
within the next week or 10 days. When
lit does come, then action will be taken
looking to an election under which re-
lief may be furnished"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
In God We Trust.

Mir. Editor: I would like to have a word to stir in with the mixtures of statements regarding the divine works of God. Apparently Gods divine world looks unconscious and dead. An! but is it? An, no! The love and divine spark of truth is silently working, not unconscious but concious-not dead but all alive. which with our great trust and faith will manifest itself in all it's beauty as 1t unfolds life to us again on the approach of the awaken ing which we call spring: and the same God given power manifestS it's life through all of his children. While this transforming of the mind from human to spiritual is a gradual work, the change from human to a spirit ual body will not be gradual but in stantaneous. So keep in tune with God, for God is love and God is just. I can truthfully state this. for He speaks as plain today as through all of the ages. All spiritual vision and dreams and independent spirit voices are as clear today as in past ages The least unlearned of Gods earth children fully realize the comprehension that
 God is the all powerful. He will in- carcerate Satan and all evil spirits whereby they can do no injustice to His beautiful work
 So in closing, dear earth friends, bear in mind to cast out Satan. Give l all room for your trust in God and you will then find no time for critic 1 ism. You will have a heaven on earth 1 For thine is the kingdom, and power and glory forever.

THE REAL NEED.

In connection with the railroad wreck near Elizabethport, N. J.. ref erence is made to the fact that the fier was made up of steel cars while the local consisted of wooden ones and the point raised that no train on the main lines should have other than steel cars. Again it is pointed out that the crossing is an exceedingly bad one and that it ought to be elimi- mated bv having the cross tracks in a subway.
 Both suggestions are excellent ones They are directed toward conditions where if followed greater safety would unquestionably result, but the fact cannot fail to be appreciated ir this instance that it was not the lacl of steel cars and it was not the exist. ence of the crossing that caused tht collision. The outstanding fact i. that 1t was the disregard of the stol signal that was responsible. The heavy steel cars undoubtedl, made it possible for such collision to take place that the boilers explod ed without seriously interfering witt those aboard the f1ier but it was no in the wooden cars that the deat were found. Steel cars should naIS up all fast trains but in this in- stance it was not the equipment tha was at fault

FEEDING EUROPE

With humanity perishing at an appalling rate it is no wonder that frantic ap- pcals arc made. but the surprise is that thero can be any let up therein

NEW ENGLAND COAL.

All New England is pretty deeply interested in the question of coal Norwich has been on the verge of a ssrious situation and other places have fared even worse. There is evidence that more coal is being moved to this part of the country by water than heretofore but still there is a demand exceeding the supply and the outlook is none too promising.
 In this connection there is interest attached to the statement made by the secretary of the coal trade asso- ciation in New York when he states that there have been 10000 tons of bituminous in the Mott Haven yards of the New Haven road since the fourth of February.
 IL Is not indicated that all that coal is owned by the railroad but 40,00o would mean 800 carloads of 50 tons each. IL wouldn't go far in serving New England and it wouldn't be an unustified supply for the railroad, but what Is difficult to understand is why this amount of coal should be allowed To remain at fixed point untouched and presumably in cars awaiting movement to its destination wher there are SO many places calling foi h.
 It is appreciated that if the railroad Is going to function it must havt coal IT it didn't draw upon that supply during February it ought tc gee it's way clear to meeting its re- suirements during succeeding months. But if that coal was held fol the use of the railroad as a reservV against a shortage why was it nee. essary for the roads under fedora direction Go seize coal in transit fo, which other public utilities were beg EinE during the past month?
 Not only does it appear that tn tying up of those 500 carloads wa unustifed but those 800 cars coul, have been made excellent use of il moving coal from those fields wher operations had to be stopped becaus no cars could be obtained.
 We have reason to hope for man Improvements now that governmen rontrol has ended but unfortunatel tho coal administration still remain ln the same hands.

rHE SUGAR PRoaE.

Nothing has caused any more trouble and anxiety that the shortage and price of sugar during the past year or two, and in view of the cir- cumstances that have surrounded it nothing is likely to meet with popular favor more than the investigation that has been set on foot by the lower house of congress.
 Reasons for certain increases in the price of the commodity have been pretty clearly set forth, and while the sugar equalization board may have made a big mistake in sending more sugar to Europe than it intended to-, 1t nevertheless would have saved the consumers in this country millions of dollars if it had been permitted to acquire the Cuban crop when and un- der the terms it advised.
 The probe into the acts of Attorney General Palmer concerns the market ing of the Louisiana crop, where the quantity was sufficient only to serve the country for about one day, but where in all p-oh" "hi1i+.- the price fix ing has affected the price to the co sumer for six L.u-,.- D at least and possibly longer. It was quite natural for the view to be taken that if the Louisiana sugar raisers were permit ted to get such a price as was sanc- | tioned, and have it approved by the attorney general as case which would not be regarded as profiteering it could be done by others. In other words encouragement was lent tc others to follow the same course and the Cubans were not slow in taking the hint. The Louisiana price ha: unquestionably served as the basi! for present day price and with the de. pertinent Of justice favoring such al increase as 1t did at the very tim, when it was supposed to be fightint

 operation of the people in keepini
