PREVENT FOREST FIRES.

Forest fires in the United States
annually destroy more than two bill

One-fourth our yearly increase in
population--a number sufficient to
populate new city each year the
size of Cincinnati, New Orleans, Min
neapolis, Kansas City, Mo-, or Seattle.
More than 16O, 900 forest fires have
occurred in the United States dur
ing the past five years, so per cent
or which were due to human agen-
cies and therefore preventable. These
conflagrations burned over 56,48S,-

were stopped and the material thus
saved put into houses, the various
business interests concerned in build
ing construction, such as lumber
dealers, carpenters, masons, and sup
ply houses, would, it is estimated,
benefit to the extent of more than
$400. 100000 annually. Bankers and
real estate dealers would also profit
through the sale of lands and by
loans on homes to the extent of an
additional $3O0,O00,O00. Forest fires
are therefore of vital concern to not
only the everyday citizens but to ev-
cry business man and laborer
Forest protection goes hand in
hand with national prosperity. Next
to food and clothing, wood is the
most indispensable product of nature.
Without wood there can be no ag-
riculture, no manufacture. no COM
merce. Forest fires destroy life and
property, impoverish the soil, drive
away animal life. cause floods and
drought, and make waste the play
grounds of the people.

Chairman Citizenship School

If N reply to the question which was
 Sims, who has been chosen as chairman of the citizenship school which the University of Alabama is preparing to conduct here next week in conjunction with the League of Women Voters, as to how she could find the time to accept the honor which had been conferred upon her with the~myriad of duties she has to perform. her household duties. her social duties, and other importan. things. she answered in her charac- teristie, sensible, big-hearted, big minded way when she said:
 Tn these days / Reconstruction no woman can afford to sit with her hands folded She must do her bit now just as during the turbulent days of the war. when we all gave our services to our country for war work of every kind. l feel that in | accepting the chairmanship of the citizenship school that am only do- ing my duty, just as any other wom- an who feels a pride in her country, her state, her town. would do for it behooves every one of us to do our part In the great reconstructive days now upon us"
 Mrs. Sims, who always lends her talents and her time to everything that means the uplift of humanity and the good of the community is in every way well fitted to grace the chair manship of the citizenship school because of her broad knowledge of all matters pertaining to the school and her deep interest in everything concerning the great League of Women Voters which today is one of the largest and most influential or ganizations ever established in this great country of ours.
 Just one week will be devoted to the citizenship school here, begin ming next Monday, and it behooves every woman in this state as well as in this city to attend the schoo, and learn the things which are ab- absolutely necessary for women to have knowledge of, with the great questions of moment which are at stake at the present time.
 In speaking of the opening of the citizenship school next Monday, Mrs, Sims said yesterday:
 The time for discussion of suf- frage or antisuffrage passed when the nineteenth amendment to the col stitution was passed and <itified by 36 states. Women now not only have the right to vote. they have the duty to vote intelligently and with a care ful purpose. So that when the pres ident Of the Birmingham League of Women Voters told me of the leagues plan of conducting a short school in citizenship and asked me to preside at it's session, my interest was aroused in the really fine educational pppor- tunity which is being offered the women of Birmingham and the towns near.
 Glasses in citizenship were of fered at the University of Alabama last winter, and they manifestly could be attended only by the few. Now, however, the montain is coming -o Mahomet, and Dr. Thomas. head of the University extension department of our State university, will conduct

PEOPLE
 SHOULD USE
 MOUTH WASH

Recent investigations showed con clusively that the mouths of large percentage of the people of this country are veritab1e breeding places for dangerous germs. They showed also that brushing the teeth with or dinary tooth paste or powder did not clean between the teeth and did not effectively sterilize the mouth.
 The only effective precaution against these germs which cause teeth decay and infect the passages to the lungs and stomach, according to a prominent health expert, is the regular use of an antiseptic mouth wash such as Steroline.
 Dentists and physicians everywhere advise the use of this famous dis case preventive. They recommend brushing the teeth regularly and spraying the nose and throat with it. The mouth is the main inlet to the body and enough care cannot be given in keeping 1t in a healthy condition. Take no risks. Get bot, tie of Steroline from your druggist and use it regularly.--Adv.

 Heaven knows the men in admin istnation of affairs have shown ig- norance enough. and it is greatly to be regretted that there will not be room enough at these lectures for the men to come, too, and get bet ter conception of their civic duties. But since the women have more re- gently had those duties thrust upon them, as some of us who were not seeking them feel, 1t seemed appropri- ate that women be given an oppor. tunity to know more about their new duties, and l hope that every woman who can get into the Young Mems Christian association auditorium, will avail herself of the excellent oppor- tunity. next week. when our citizen ship school will occupy the center of the stage"

 The number enrolled at the Rob erts- Vance school on Fifth avenue was 750; at the Clarendon avenue school, 454; at the Jonesboro school, 400, and at the high school, 425. At the Hard school for negroes, 995 en- tered. and at the other negro schools, Fourth and Ninth avenues schools, 795 were enrolled.
 The congested condition which ex- isted at the schools last year has been relieved to some extent by the removal of pupils to the high schools of the county schools in the Huey- town and McCalla and Jones valley vicinities; but from present indica- tions the schools win be somewhat crowded, especially at the high school, which was built to accommo- date about 300 pupils, and at the Roberts Vance school, where there were enrolled today 15O children in the first grade. The addition of the new unit which will be built at once to this school will greatly relieve this condition.
 The opening exercises at the hlgn school Monday were marked by splendid talks by M. J. Brooks, presi- dent of the board of edueation; Dr. R. P. McTyeire and N. B. Parker, each of whom left a message of help fitness to the students and teachers.
