 ABOUT INSURANCE War Risk Policy Renewal or Changes Handled By
 Captain Quinn

Edward J. Quinn, representative or the bureau of war risk insurance, for Alabama, is in Birmingham. and has opened an office in the lounge of the Civic Association, where he will assist any former soldier who wishes to re- instate his war risk insurance.
 The time for the reinstatement of this insurance expires July l, or eight cen months after the period of dis charge from the army. For most sol diers, July is the date.
 The only requirement. for those who reinstate the insurance before the first is to state on their own application that they are in as good health as at the time of discharge, no physician's s certificate being necessary and must pay two months premium.
 If a regular policy is desired in stead of a term policy MT. Quinn states, the change may be made at the time of reinstatement by the payment of one months premium on the old policy and also the payment of the annual, semi annual or quarterly pre- mium on the converted policy.
 Under a new law passed by the last Congress, MT. Quinn says converted ln- surance is made payable at lump sum at death and the beneficiaries may in clude parent, grandparents, step parent, wife or husband child step child, adopted child, grandchiid' brother, sister half brother, hall sister, step- brother, step sister, uncle aunt nephew, niece, brother-fn-laW, sister-in-law, persons who have stood in the relation of parent for the period of one year, or child of such persons and parent. grandparent or step parent of wife or husband.
 The war risk bureau is working In connection with the American Leglon and other veterans organizations III the effort to get the ex-serVlce men to reinstate their insurance ana to teach them their rights under the war risk act. MT. Quinn, who will be in charge or the office in the Civic. Association. IS an ex-soldier. He first enlisted and served through the Spanish Amerlcah T war. On the outbreak of the world war he enlisted as a private and came out as a captain.
 He will be in his office every day from now until July l and will assist all ex-service men in every way

June 25.-(Special.l- First attacks against the general edu- cational code of the 1919 legislature came to naught Friday, when the Ala bama supreme court, in a special de- cision, affirmed the ruling of the Jef- ferson county circuit court, in equity, which refused to permit J.

 By Delays in Unloading
Prompt unoadng of and movement of by the railroads suggested by the Birmingham terminal mittee n aid in relieving the shortage.

cars in the same report, placed on the 18th which had not been released on the 24th. Four of the twenty cars had not yet started unloading
 The foregoing is cited as only one instance of the many reports reach ing them. The car supply in this dis trict is at the present moment very short and if consignees will release cars promptly it will benefit the situ ation materially. In the existing situ- ation the terminal committee is urg- ing consignees not to use the full free time allowed under demurrage rules. but to get the car release dwlth real dispatch. In doing this Birmingham consignees will be rendering Birming- ham shippers real assistance.
 sThere are approximately 250 cars placed each day in this district for unloading. which excludes raw ma terial If the efficiency in the realease of that number per day could be in- creased 20 per cent 1t would be equivalent to increasing the car sup Div fifty cars a day.

Following meeting of the terminal committee held Friday, O. l.. Bum. gen. eral manager of the Chamber of Com merce and shippers representative on the terminal committee. gave an out line of the measures which the com mittee had determined to especially recommend
 The greatest benefit. said MT. Bum, "can be obtained by local action first in the prompt movement of cars on the part of the railroads, either loaded or empty; second. in securing the prompt release of loaded cars by gaining the closest cooperation of con- signees.
 The latter feature. it is stated is giving railroads much concern because it is found that many cars under load are requiring much longer than nec- essary in unloading. The railroads have one report covering eighteen cars placed on the Fist which had not been released until the 24th. and two

sought to restrain the county board of bonds.
 In detail the opinion recites that the school code of 1919 is constitutional, the court holding that the title was clearly expressed. The allegation was made that the title did not express clearly what was contained in the code
 Tt is first insisted that this act is void as in contravention of Section 40, Article " of the constitution, which declares that each law shall contain but one subject which shall be clearly expressed in it's title" said the Justice Gardner opinion. There is expressed in the title of the act one clean, com prehensive subject. to provide com plete educational system for the state of Alabama, then follows complete index as to each minor subject con- tained in the body of the act, all Of which bear relation to the comprehen- siye subject above expressed. We think it quite clear that the act is ire from the constitutional objection above referred to. Ballenty vs. Wick ersham. 75 Alabama 533.'@
 In his fight to prevent the board from issuing the school warrants Kim mons detailed many flaws in the edu- cational code. at the same time claim ing the warrants were negotiable, and therefore should not be disposed of under the limitation of the law, re- lating to Jefferson county. He mad another claim that the board of educa. tion was not lawfully existing. and had no authority to dispose of the bonds.
 The supreme court again showed its unwillngness to go behind the house and senate journals in ruling in such important matters. In this connection the opinion held. There is some sug- gestion in brief that the journals fail to disclose compliance with Sections 63 and GA of the constitution as to the passage of the bill, but the certified copy of the journals of the house and senate, attached as an exhibit to the bill, refute this insistence.''
 We have considered all the objec- tions argued by the counsel for appel lant in brief and reached the con- clusion that the bill is therefore with out equity said the opinion. The decree rendered is correct and will be here affirmed
