'No breakfast is complete without The Age-Herald," said Mrs. E. Loy. wife of F. Loy of the Lige Loy Under taking Company. in speaking of the only morning paper in the Birming- ham district.
 ITO put the finishing touches on a good breakfast and to start the day right, an Age-Herald is almost abso- lutely essential.

Expect New Ideas For Schools.

"We are expecting some big things from Prof. N. R.

Erwin, assistant superintendent of the county board of education. Some of the foremost educators of the en- tire country are in attendance at this meeting, and those who are attending from more or less backward states will have a chance to learn how the most progressive states are conducting their educational activities We are unusual ly proud of our educational systems in Jefferson county and Birmingham, but in being closely associated with these matters we learn so many improve ments that could be made. Here's hop ing that MT. Baker will bring many new ideas with him when he returns from this meeting

Way To Stop Auto Thefts.

'Tf the proposed bill now pending in Congress requiring all states to have a registrar is passed it will practically put a stop to automobile thieving," said Henry Dozier. This bill was proposed by Representative Herrold of Oklahoma and is one of the most logical solutions offered to prevent the stealing of auto mobiles. If each state is required to maintain a registrar and all automobile owners give deeds to the purchaser in turn must have recorded with the reg istrar just as in real estate transac- tions records of every car in the state will be kept. It will then be no trou- ble to trace any car in the United States. All autqmobile clubs in the United Sttaes have gotten behind this movement to have the bill passed and the Birmingham club is doing its share. Every member has been asked to write to the representatives from Alabama in Congress asking them to support the bill"

DENIES RECEIVING PEACE
PROPOSAL FROM SOVIET

In an official statement today the
state Department announced that the
soviet peace proposal described by
Associated Press dispatches of Fep-
ruary rs had not been received by
the department
The proposal was described as hav-
ing been contained in official dis
patches received here" The dis
patches were not addressed to the
State Department.
A peace proposal, first referred to
in dispatches from London on Feb
ruary 26. has been received by the
State Department, however. Officials
there on the day following announced
that no cognizance Of It would be
taken. and that it had been forwarded
BY American Minister Morris at
Stockholm.
Two separate proposals apparently
are concerned: one has reached
the State Department. while officials
say the other has not. The proposal
which the departments statement de-
clares has not been received is the
one which proposes establishment of
a government of democratic princi-
pies and the assumption of 60 per cent
OF the Russian national debt by the
soviet and payment Of back interest.
