Sight Instruction

q believe that our school children
 should know something about the great industries of the Birmingham district,' said Charley West, principal at New
 Castle, and so l have undertaken to take my classes through some of tue leading ones. For instance, recently
 they were shown through the great by product plant and the packing house at North Birmingham. l simply cite these two, for it gave those who may be in terested in commercial chemistry later
 tip as to what Is being done, and
 those who might want to farm, the pos
 abilities in the cattle industry. We
 have enough things at our doors to in
 terest and instruct the children from
 the grammar grades on through the
 high schools and even the colleges

Gerrit A. Beneker,
 Painter of Working Men

A UNIQUE exhibition of paint A ings will be shown to the art lovers of Birmingham. Thirty pie lures by Gerrit A. Beneker will be exhibited under the auspices of the Alabama Art league, on the second floor of the Star Piano company's building, beginning tonight.
 Any form of cultural endeavor is always to be commended, particularly when the subject is art. Everyone knows that opportunities to see worth while paintings are limited in the south, since the great galleries are located in the north and east. The Art league is doing something for Birmingham and providing a source of enjoyment to many people by put ting the Beneker pictures on view.
 The artist himself is a remarkable personality and has developed com paratively new field, that of inter preting the working man. MT. Bene- ker is employed by one of the great industrial corporations to introduce art into industry as an inspiration to the worker and means of promot- ing better understanding between the company and it's employees.
 MT. Beneker has been most sue cessful in this kind of work. His pie lures naturally have great force, since they would not do justice to their subject otherwise, but sehe has done something more. He has caught the mental attitude of the worker and portrayed some admirable types.
 The exhibition will continue until

Both Sides

"The address of Dr. Charles Aubrey Eaton at the dinner of the Alabama Manufacturers association Tuesday night was the ablest discussion of in- dustrial relations l ever heard" de- clared J. Frank Watson. president of the Birmingham sash and Door com pany.
 pr Eaton not only has an unusual grasp on this great problem, but he IS able to tell what he knows in a mos. impressive and pleasing style. T know of no oratorin America. not even Bryan himself, who is better speaker than Dr. Eaton. He seems to understand perfectly the viewpoint of the employe as well as the employer, and he realizes the difficulty of bring ing about a perfect understanding on the part of these two forces. q believe it would help every em- ployer and every employe to hear Dr.
 Eaton. and if his ideas could be carried out, we would be saved from much oi the misunderstanding which now tend. to mar industrial affairs

Street Sign.

People say that we need street signs, but those who have been for the past 10 days working to get them up are meeting with difficulties" said Julian Kendrck. city engineer, who Is co-op, erating with the members of the Com munity club in the placing of the signs.
 We had little trouble in getting our signs placed until we reached First avenue and Twentieth street. There we were turned down by the management of both the Brown Marx and the Wood. ward buildings. l. is very necessary that there be street signs on every street corner in Birmingham: l have had at least 50 people who were strangers in town say to me that Bir- mingham is sadly lacking in that re- spect, and that its has cost them much in time and car fares

Need More Men

While the work of organizing the national guard of Alabama is progress ing. there is a marked need for greater support for this movement" said Colo mel Hartley A. Moon, adjutant general of Alabama, who was in Birmingham yesterday
 "It seems that the war should have taught every man, woman and child the need and the value of d national guard. American people do not want stand ing army of the size and on the basis or the European armies but we do want a large force of men ready and equipped for quick service. The only way to avoid militarism and at the same time provide a sufficient military force to meet emergencies is to have the na- tonal guard. This gives us large and mobile force with little expense, There is great need for men of ability and military experience to make the neces- sary sacrifice to join the guard for the next year or two"

When One Shot From Rifle Takes
Lives of Fourteen.

Emmence, Mo- Tom Freeman of
this city is the champion snake killer
of this part of Missouri and has hung
up a record that other folks can shoot
at for a while. 1t might not be amiss
to mention that Freeman made the
unusual record with the aid of his
trusty shooting iron, a rife.
Fourteen reptiles were laid low with
one shot from the rifle of Freeman
and the warm weather of the present
month was a big factor in the ami
hiiatiOn of the snakes.
Freeman says he found tangled
mass on log in a river near here
while on a hunting expedition and
upon closer examination discovered
that it was made up of several scores
of snakes that had gotten twisted to-
gether in some ineXplicable manner.
He fired into the bunch and the whole
sale slaughter of fourteen followed
A number of them, although badly
wounded, succeeded in crawling away.
