MOTHER AND BABY HURLED FROM AUTO,
 NEITHER IS INJURED

Selma, April 2O.-(SpeciaD.-Mrs Henry Phillips and little daughter are alive to- day to tell the tale of remarkable omobile accident in which they fig ured Tuesday afternoon. several miles out of Selma on the Montgomery road,
 When the car in which they were rid ing with a number of other persons, left the road and plunged into ditch, throwing Mrs. Phillips and her baby from crushing her, as she lay stunned wheel and in front of the car. Only small sapling prevented the heavy car from crushn gher, as she lay stunned in front of the automobile. Her only injury was a painful cut about the head inflicted by a hairpin. The child was not injured.
 No one of the other occupants of the car was hurt although all were shaken up badly The accident occurred at the foot of a long hill down which the car was coasting, when the driver attempted to swerve away from washout place in the road, turning the big car into the ditch.

has been granted by certain stevedoring companies to sailing vessels, and possibly to a few steamers.
 Members of. the state harbor commis- sion, discussing this discrimination against steamers, and especially shipping board vessels, assert that 1t should not be permitted to longer exist, and that there should be a readjustment of all port charges to bring them in line with the downward adjustment of prices in other lines.
 MOBILE IS LOWEST
 Mobile has for years had lower port charges, on the whole, than any other port of consequence, but some of the others are now reducing the scale of charges, and it is asserted that unless Mobile falls in line in this respect she will soon find herself at serious dis advantage in her bid for foreign trade.
 One ship, it is reported, recently had to pay $500 for fresh water before start ing on voyage to foreign port. This, 1t is claimed is exorbitant and several times the amount the city, from whom the ships vender received the water, re- ceived for it.
 Captain Norville has collected the great CT part of the data required for his re- port and is getting it in shape to pre- sent to the commission at the May meet ing.

MANY ENROLLED FOR
 TEACHER CERTIFICATES
 IN DEKALB COUNTY

Fort Payne, April so.-(Special.)- At the state teachers examination be- ing held here this week there are SS applicants, most of whom are for third grade certificates.
 Many of them, are mere lads and lassies of 16 summers-the minimum of the law-while others are nearing the meridian of life. It Is said that many teachers who were led away from. the work by the recent high salaries in other employment are now turning back into the profession and that the normal supply of teachers in this county will soon be evident.
 In the present examination there are no applicants for life and first-grade certificates. Many of the teachers are planning to attend summer normal schools this summer.

ID SUBMIT FRENCH
 PLANS FOR ACTION
 AGAINST GERMANY
Added Military Penalties in Case of Non-Execution of Conclusions of Financial
 Experts Probable
By Associated Press

Paris, April 2O.-At the conference which is to be held at Lympne, Eng land, next Sunday between Premier Briand and Premier Lloyd George. M. Briand will submit to the British prime minister the plan elaborated Dy the military and civil commission" deal ing with the military and economic measures decided on with view to obtaining reparations from Germany, according to information gathered from a reliable source today.
 "The military and civil commission" will meet again tomorrow under the presidency of Marshal Foch, and 1t Is declared the plan of M. Locheur, min ister for the liberated regions will be ready to be handed over to M. Briand prior to his departure on Saturday for England.
 It has been decided to make the meeting as informal as possible. The reparation question, of course, will be uppermost: It is reported that the plan elaborated by the French mixed commission will be a development with added military penalties in case of incarceration of the conclusions reached by the allied financial ex- perts at Brussels last winter with re- gard to Germanys payments. 1. The Associated Press hears that the plan contains provisions for guaran- tee, to be taken, in order to make sure that the present situation may not be renewed for some years, and that in the future Germany will be unable to oppose policy of inertia or nonpos- sumus to the allied demands.
 It is likely that the question con- cerning the mandate for the island of Tap will be discussed at the confer ence in Lympne.
