PORT PICTURES
SchoolhOuses to Be Used to Exhibit
 Them Before People

Because of the educational value of the campaign for the improvement of the sea- port and the utilization of the waterways of Alabama, Dr. John w Abercrombie, state superintendent of education, has suggested to all superintendents, princi- pals and teachers that they permit the use Of buildings under their control for the presentation of the motion picture, The Port and the People,"
 In . letter addressed to the educators he requested that with the approval of local boards. and at such times as to not interfere with regular work of the schools, such use of the buildings would not be inappropriate.
 The Alabama Geography Lesson, through which all of the pupils at the public schools may receive instruction on the value of the more general use of the waterways, may also be utilized in the discretion of the principals.
 The lesson, which was prepared by an experienced educator, is now being pub lished by the seaport amendment cam paign committee for distribution in all of the schools of the state. It contains . map showing in bold relief all of the waterways of the state that might be i'm proved for navigation or hydro-electric power.

 Changes in General Laws of the Country

they travel is touched on both sides by politics.
 Members of the legislature who make the laws under which we have to live should be the best men that you can elect. No person has a right to con slider the selection of representatives to the legislature lightly. Women, vote at every opportunity Be honest in your choice and vote for honest men. If you are supporting an unpopular cause. and you think you're right, stick by it and support it. However, do not fail to in form yourself on the candidates for ot- fees to be filled"
 OUTLINES PLAN
 She outlined the plan of the league on it's Americanization campaign There are approximately 100000 illiterates Tn North Carolina, south Carolina, Tennes- see. Alabama and Louisiana. she de- clared, and as a result of this educa- tional programme being conducted oy this organization s1o0ooo,0oo has been ap- propriated for this work. Some of the schools in Arkansas, she stated. had been closed on account of inability to secure teachers, large number or whom had entered the commercial world, where they could at least make suf- ficient income on which to live. Arkan- sas is going to increase the salaries or teachers If it can't get a sufficient amount by levying of taxes. it will be raised by public subscription, she de- clared.
 On the other hand. the league is sup porting a bill providing for federal aid for schools and the women hope to be abae to assist teachers in securing the y~ry best education possible.
 Resume of the work planned by the women in the child welfare and social hygiene departments was given by the speaker as was that part of the pro gralnme referring to profiteering.
 One of the most important things which the league has undertaken is the citizenship for married women." said Mrs Gotham. When an American woman marries a man of any other na- tionality she takes his nationality and is barred from taking any part in the politics of her own country. This we wish to abolish and allow every Ameri- can woman to maintain her citizenship, although married to foreigner. Our programme has just started, but we hope to accomplish many things in the years to come. We realize it is big undertaking, and alone we cannot do

 PRISONER IN JAIL
Jack Mccoy Arrested and Lat CT Released on Bond-Had Brought Clothes to
 Relatives

 Warrant for the arrest of Mccoy ou this charge was sworn out yesterday before Judge H. B. Anernethy in the Jefferson county court of misdemeanors
 J. B. Mccoy, father of Jack Mccoy has been held in the county jail since last Friday morning when he was ar. rested following the alleged clash be- tween union and non-union miners al Majestic, as a result of which Greene Cook. negro was killed and Rich Mont gomery, negro, was seriously wounded

 According to the officers Jack Mccoy brought a suitcase of clothing to his father and when it was opened and in- spected by jail officials, in the pocket If coat in the suitcase were ten new dynamite caps. These caps were placed in new paper bag, according to off cers, and then put in the coat pocket It was stated had the caps been old ones it would have been possible that they had been left in the pocket by Mccoy when he was working in the mines, but the fact that they were new caps leads the officers to believe that they had been put there recently.

THREATENED HIGH WIND ADDS HST
 ID BALLOON RACE
All Aeronauts Ask Is That the Storm Strikes Before or After Saturday So They
 Can Get Up

! The predicted storm may strike Birmingham. Lieut.. Reed and MT. Horton, weather ob-
 servers for the national balloon
 races scheduled to begin here
 Saturday afternoon, are wor-
 ried. about it. It may have
 much to say in the matter of whether or not the races can
 be staged on time.
 The storm, tropical hurricane, is due to hit Birmingham some time Sat urday. The exact time of it's arrival
 will tell whether the races can be staged.
 If the storm arrives and is over by
 the time for the Traces to begin, or if it has not arrived and is not expected for few hours. no harm will be done. But if the storm is raging when the balloonists are ready to ascend, then lit is probable that the races will be postponed a few days.
 According to the pilots already in town, storm immediately before or after the races will do no damage, as the balloonists will be safe once they are in the air.
 Virgil Evans of the Chamber of Commerce states that during their ob-
 
 Horton detected signs of the dist arb ance, but that as yet no definite .ine on the time of the arrival of the storm can be obtained.
 Officials in charge of the ball oon events state that arrangements are being made to take care of a crowd of 60,000 people Saturday. Widespread interest has been shown throughout the city and it is expected that Sloss- Hhef- field field, from which the balloons will start, will be crowded when the time for the ascension arrives
 The army has an exceptionally |strong team entered in the elimina tion
 races. Many experts are predicting that the army balloonists will capture first place, while others are going fur ther and stating that second and even third places will also go to the army team.
 It is true that the army balloonists
 are doing all in their power to pave the way to a double or a triple victory Saturday. The pilots already in town
 are spending a large part of their time in the field inspecting and going over their apparatus so that when the time for the ascension arrives every thing will be "shipshape."
 In the navy and Goodyear Rubber Company teams the army balloonists are expecting their stiffest opposi on. In Lieut.. Commander R. R. Paunack, (Continued on Page sixteen)
