association has started a whirlwind campaign of the state to ac1uain- the voters with the purpose and need of the ratification of the amendment which will be voted on February s. and which will give the highway com mission authority to sell highway im- provement bonds to the value of s5,0e0. .O0O. at a rate of interest not greater than per cent.
 All efforts of the commission to dis pose of bonds at per cent, the maxi mum now permitted by the amendment adopted February 16, 1920, have failed, because the price of money is greater than the maximum permitted Several bonding companies .are interested in the purchase of bonds, but are not willing to purchase them at the low rate of interest. If the commission can guarantee as much as 6 per cent, it is probable a sale can be consul mated without delay.
 Road projects throughout the state have been made, and surveys compiet- ed. No money is available. and none will be available for the construction work until the bonds are sold. F. J.

Tt is regrettable that road improve ment work could not be started when the bond issue was authorized. The interest rate began to move upward after the legislature submitted the amendment; a 5 per cent bond was at tractive when the legislature proposed the amendment but by the time 1t was authorized by the voters, big investors found they could place their funds at a much higher rate of interest. This is the reason. and the only reason, the state highway commission and the Alabama Highway Improvement asso citation are now asking for this new amendment
 No person will pay one penny be cause of the 1 per cent interest which
 it is proposed to add to the bonds. Funds have already been provided in the original amendment. and whether the interest is increased or not, the money can be used for no purpose

Texas Priest Tells Legion K. X.

as a result of prohibition which they
put over while the boys were over
seas" Many Ku Klux members had
flat feet, yellow jaundice, or the hook
worm during the war"
Rev. Father J. M. Kirwin, of La
Porte, Tex, vicar general of the Gal
weston Catholic diocese, made these
charges in a letter addressed to the
local Thomas Dismuke post, American
Legion.
The letter was a reply to a resolu-
ton by the post condemning the Rev.
Mr.. Kirwin individually and bodily
for having referred to the Ku KIux
KIan in preaching the funeral of an
overseas veteran recently when he
told of recently passing an American
flag at half mast for the first time
in my lite without bearing my head" "
because the flag, flown by the War
Mothers, had been donated by the Ku
KluX Klan.
The Reverend Kirwin denied having
suggested that a yellow pennant be
flown over the khan donation. He
declared he had only respect for the
American Legion, the war mothers,
the flag. and regretted that the war
mothers accepted a flag from the ku
Klux and also from the law and order
league.
Gifts from unknown men should
not be accepted by any woman" wrote
the Rev. Mr.. Kirwin. ANY woman's S
organization is bound by the same
ethical code"

ing the annual district federation
meeting here.
Mrs. Garvey described her recent
visit at Ellis Island, New York-the
great receiving station for foreigners
coming to the United States. She said
she was agreeably surprised by the ef-
ficient and humane manner in which
the immigrants were treated. as well
as by the excellent accommodations
afforded them and the efforts to safe
guard their welfare.
when a young woman from for
eign land seeks admission on the claim
that she is to become the wife of some
man who is waiting for her, federal
agents see to it that there is a legal
marriage ceremony and do not just
take their word for it," said Mrs.
Garvey.

much segregation of foreigners in our

Every big city has its Little Italy
and Little Russia and so on. In these
colonies the immigrants do not have
the opportunity for assimilation of
Americanism that they should have.
