HOMES NEEDEDF0R
 200 NEW TEACHERS
Board of Education Seeking Lodgings for Young Women
 Coming to City

One of the greatest difficulties fac ing the city board of education is to find homes for teachers who do not live in Birmingham, according to J. H. Phil lips, superintendent of public schools.
 The inability to find suitable places for these young. women to board is the cause of number of resgnations, he said. The city schools this year will have $50 teachers, fifty more than were employed last year. Of this number, 200 have not taught in Birmingham. and will have to find homes.
 Numbers of letters are pouring into the office of Dr. Phillips from these teachers out of town, asking that a place to board be secured for them. The suitation is such that special committee has been appointed by the board of education to find homes for them, Members of this committee are: J. l.. Bryan, chairman; C. F. Bowman, T. D. Moor Clara Bell Senn, Nash John son, Annie Bradford. Mrs. PaulH. Earle, Mrs. D. A. Echols and Mrs. N. A. Bar rett.
 This committee is asking that all per- sons have rooms and board for one or more teachers. phone in the house, and of rooms, to Dr. Phillips. Every effort will be made to make the teach CTS as comfortable and as satisfied as possible.

PAST PRESIDENTS
 OF ROTARY SPEAK
Discuss Their Administrations Before Membership at the
 Meeting Yesterday

Past Presidents Day was observed by the Rotary Cluo at it's meeting yester- day in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel. Short talks were made by the former leaders on the splendid work done by the organization during the administration ot each.
 Morris w. Bush stated that although the Rotary Club had done great work during the war, the greatest work is still before the organization. He de- clared the unsettled condition of the country today was serious problem. and it was up to sucn men as those of the Rotary Club to see that it came through this condition without serious damage to our government. The preser- vation of the government and the. con stitution is the main thing, he said,N and the high ideals of citizenship, fair play and Americaniz ation of this country
 must be maintained.
 MT Bush told several humorous stories regarding the local delegation to the h.
 ternational Rotary Club in Atlantic City
 in June, which were greatly enjoyed.
 E. H. Andrews spoke of what the Ro-
 tary Club had meant to him, declaring
 that nothing in his life since he had been
 in this city had mean: as much to him as his membership in this club. The
 reason for this. he stated was because
 of the splendid work done by the Rotary Club during his administrations and stated the club had done everything pos sible' in backing up the nation. He pald tribute to Clarence Lloyd, the secretary
 during that time, stating MT. Lloyd was always ready to do anything he had been asked to do and how untrng he was in his efforts in behalf of the organiza- l.tion. MT. Andrews also spoke of the eS- cellent work of the board of directors
 and urged every man to try to do some i thing for the Rotary Club, helping to l rake it a grand and glorious success. | J. D. Moore gave a resume of the club since it's organization seven years ago. l He stated that the local club was one of the oldest clubs of the Kind in the south, the clubs at Jacksonville, New Orleans and Houston having been or ganized prior to the Birmingham club. There are now 6G,G90 Rotarans in the country, and seven years ago there were
 only 10000
 Val J. Nesbitt reported that the re- mander of the s5,400 worth of stock of
 the Port of Birmingham had been un- derwritten by the Rotary Club Approx imately $230O worth Of this stock was disposed of at a meeting two weeks ago. and Mir Nesbitt was authorized to name committee to assist in completing the Rotary Clubs share of this stock.
 The committee was composed of w. M. Cosby. LeGrande Wilson, Knox Elem ing Hugh Morrow and Haskins Will hams.
 Attorney Hugh Morrow was thanked for the luncheon given last week by the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company at the new by-product plant at North Birmingham for the Rotary, k1wanls and CiVitan Clubs.

MRS. GAIT TELLSOF
 FIGHT IN TENNESSEE
Says There Has Never Been Such Nefarious Lobby in the
 History of Politics

The current issue of The Woman Citi- zen contains an interesting account Of the great reception given Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt and other suffrage workers in New York upon their arrival from the scene of the fight in Tennessee. After describing the parade and street scenes followed by the assembling at the Wal dorf-Astoria for the speaking the ac- count proceeds:
 This is glorious and wonderful day" said she. Let us give honor to that hon orable gentleman, Governor Roberts Of Tennessee, without whose help and sym pathy the fight might still be waging on other fronts. For many a day we have marched up the long hll together, you and l. Now, we will al go our separate ways, holding in our hearts tender mem- ories of our comrades in the great war.
 'Never in the history of politics has there been such force for evil, such a nefarious lobby as worked to block the advance of suffrage in Nashville. In the shQrt time five weeks perhaps, I spent in Tennessee's capital, l have been called more names, more maligned, more lied about than in the thirty previous years I worked for suffrage. I was flooded with anonymous letters. vulgar, ignorant insane. Strange men and groups of men sprang up, men we had never met before in battle Who are they? We were told this is the railroad lobby this is the steel lobby, these are lobbyists from ths Manufa cturers' Association. these came from the aluminium interests, this is the remnant of the old whisky ring Even tricksters from the United States revenue service were there. operating against us, until the President of these great states called them off They strove to weaken the purpose of younger men of the sem ate. notably boy of 26 years from the mountains of East Tennessee, by third degree methods.
 They appropriated our telegrams, tapped our telephones, listened outside our windows and transoms They at tackled our private and public lives. I will not tell you to what depths they finally descended when the desperation Of defeat was upon them. It is a story to sicken the heart,
 "I had heard of the invisible govern ment' We'll, I have seen 1t at work have sent it back into oblivion, 1 have lived to realize the big, beautiful dream of my life-the enfranchsement of women.
 Now that we are to have the vote, let us remember that we are no longer pe- titioners We are not wards of the na- tion but free and equal citizens. Let us practice the dignity of sovereigns. Ana wherever we vote, whatever our partisan affiliations let us vote against every man of any party we indorse If he does not represent the people. We have proven in Tennessee this Is government of the people, not an empire of corporations Let us do our part to keep Il true and triumphant democracy

"A QUART A DAY.
 IS THEIR SLOGAN Say They Can Get It and They Mean to Do Just
 That, Too

Plans are on foot for the formation of "a "Quard Day" League in BirminG ham. The object of this league is to have it's members drink a quart of--of, we'll, sweet milk, if you must know, a day.
 Arrangements fo the league were made by Augustus Forrest, chief of the bureau of food and dairy inspection of the city health department. According to MT. Forrest these leagues have been formed in every large city in the country. It's object is not only tc promote the drinking of fresh milk as q health-Siving habit, but it extends its activities to secire fresh and pure mlls for communities.
 Particularly is this league active in the city of Pittsburg. MT. Forrest said. The members there have organized closely prepared pins bearing the slogan, "A Quart Day. and made efforts to in- crease the supply of milk so that a quart of sweet milk is available for each per- son in the city.

R0SH HASHANAH
 JEWISH NEW YEAR Sunday Evening and Monday Holy Days of the Congre-
 gations Here

On Monday. September 13, and on the preceding evening, Sunday. the l2th, the festival of the New Year, called Rosh Hashanah in Hebrew, will be ob- served by the Jews of the entire world. Like all the Jewish holy days. the fes- tivaI begins al sunset of the preceding day Orthodox Jews observe an addi- tional day, Tuesday. following an old tradition.
 This holy day is one of the most i'm portant in the whole Jewish calendar. It is the first of series of festivals lasting nearly a month. It is the be- ginning of the Jewish religious year and one of it's quain. features is the blowing of the shofar, or ram s horn.
 Apart from it's joyful and testive na- ture Rosh Hashanah is rich in moral import and significance. The faCt that it is the beginning of the religious year lends it's special sacredness. It Is the time of higher resolves, the turning point of the year. It is the oay that brings home to the Jew with great force the lesson that the time is snort and the work is great. and that as each year rolls quickly by, the task must be done within a shorter period every year It is a forceful reminder of the breyity of human existence; but it optimisti cally stresses the great doctrine that man, far from being a plaything in the hands of blind fate, can realize his life's work if he but takes advantage of the swiftly fleeting moments.
 Services at Temple EmanuEl will be conducted by the rabbi, Dr. Morris New field. on Sunday evening at o'clock. and on Monday morning at 10.30. These services are always very largely att tended and members of the temple are especially urged to be prompt and to be present at the beginning of the serv- ice. The main auditorium will be re- served for members only unti. the tins for the beginning of the seevice. Visi- tors will be welcome and will be ac- commodated in the galierics.
 A well-trained double quartet, con- sisting of some of the fines. voices in the city and assisted by chorus and special soloists. will render the ancient liturgical hymns and responses. The music is in the charge of Mrs. Edna Gussen, who resumes her oid position as the musical director and orgsnist of the temple
