 Section of the Goode act provides that the act shall not be construed to repeal either in part or in whole any existing local or special law. Acts, 1915; page STA
 This section prevented the Goode act from changing in any respect the local act of 1903 relating to public roads in Jefferson county. Therefore, compliance with Section II of the Goode act requiring advertisement prior to making contract relative to roads is not essential to the validity of such contracts made by the board of revenue of Jefferson county.

 As the local law relating to pub- lie roads in Jefferson county, Alabama, contains no provision requiring adver- tisement prior to- making road con tracts, and as the Goode act expressly left unqualified and unchanged this local law, the road contracts made by the board of revenue were not illegal because of lack of advertising prior to the making them. It follows neces- sarfly that the warrants issued in pursuance of such contract are valid and binding obligations Yours very truly, MAXWELL G. DAVIS, l asn Nfs f-- "A ttoruey Ceneralo

 New York, May 7.-(Special.) )-Offi- cially this was boys week, as a big parade bore proof. But unofficially it seems to have been boys week, too Witness the younsster who refused to leave his soup though the house burned. Or the boys that mustn't play any more in Poplar street; the senior boys at Columbia who in the class day election voted in favor of kisses for men, smokes for women and drinks for all; the Chicago lad who talked back to the policeman; and, once more, Guy Stillman.
 There's something about a bowl of soup. It held more allure for a 7- year-old rascal a. the Daughters of Israel Day nursery than even the clang of approaching fire engines. Somehow young Isadore was over looked when the 200 other children were ushered down the fire escape. When the first fireman reached the nursery dining room, he found Isadore. who viewed him over the top of the soup bowl. and went on eating. Isa- dore still clutched the bowl and ar gued for more time as the man car ried him out.
 Equally persistent were the boys on Poplar street They made so much noise that the night patrolman couldn't sleep day times so the police captain ordered that street play be limited to points couple of blocks distant from the station. Several people, indignant, have pointed out that the captain is bachelor, and they speak feelingly of children's rights. Presumably, how ever, -hese are not the people wh ) tried to get a nap while Micky and his gang opened the combined marble. prisoners tag and baseball season.

To various sim pie questions Max retorted brightly: ''None of y business" The officer made it his business. As re.ult. Max and his friends are leaving for Chi cago as the city's guests.

Heavy Loss for
Shipping Board

Surplus supplies and materials held
by the shipping board have suffered
an inventory loss of S90,000,000, ac-
cOrding to a report of a commission
which has been making a survey of
the boards physical assets. Also, the
shipyard equipment, land, buildings
and drydocks, which cost $117, 100000,
are now worth 500, 437 900; and un-
completed wooden bulls that cost $685.
$4,000, are valued now at only $780,

come across TO settle Great Britain's
debt of $21 100000 to the shipping
board, has revealed the existence of
secret contracts made by the old board

will largely reduce the sum due.

PUBLIC SCHOOL
NOTES
NEED FOR PIANOS IN SCHOOLS

Lambertville- The Ward schools
of the town are in need of pianos.
Two have been loaned to them, but
in the Third Ward school alone there
are thirteen rooms, and two pianos
cannot go around.
There are many pianos standing
in the homes of people who do not
need them, and in some cases, are
really in the way. These people can
perform good deed by giving or
loaning these instruments to the
schools.
Education without music is like
bread without salt or coffee without
sugar. Music is the soul of educat-
ion. 1t is that phase of education
which feeds the spiritual life, and no
child should be denied the privilege
of developing its musical talent.
When soldiers are on the march,
it is music that lightens the weary
pack and the hard road. Music is the
softening influence for life's hard
ships and struggles. Those who can
sing can always do more and suffer
less. See that your children are
taught to sing. Give them the instru-
ments with which to develop their
talents. Who knows but that your
child may he another Caruso or Far
rar or Spaulding? This community
hes already given one great musician
to the cubic Carlson Cooley. Let
us strive to develop others.

tlon that the orders of the board
shall not be fiouted by either the en-
ployees or the roads. The trouble is
that the Cummins- Esch. act does not
provide penalties or give the board
powers TO enforce its own findings.
This defect came prominently to the
fore last week when the board, in ad-
dition to its other work in Chicago,
called the Pennsylvania railroad onto
the carpet for failing to call a new
election of shop crafts representa-
tives, as instructed.
Strike or no strike, it appears that
one certain result of the affair will
be the reduction of freight rates. This
will be highly gratifying to the Amer
lean people, who are convinced it is
necessary to the revival of business
prosperity, and are not at all sure
that the unions are wrong when they
assert that the railroads are making
plenty Of money, despite their walls.
