A call for a special session of the legislature has not been deter mined upon." said Gov. Thomas E. kiIby at the Tutwiler hotel yesterday evening.
 The governor would enter no further into the matter except to intimntc that he is not fond of extra sessions of the legislature, aud does not favor them except under pressing conditions.
 From his general attitude in the matter it Is gathered that, if the governor does call the extra ses- sion for resubmission of the road bond amendment, precious little else will be in the call.
 It Is further sticking out tkat no call is going to be issued in tLe near Iuture. and if an extra scs- sion is held it will he late in the summer after crops are laid by, and tine period between the csul ana thc sesssun itself will be as snort as possible.
 General conviction of those ac-

 Success in Life and the Three Ways to Obtain It. was the theme of the address to the graduates by Prof. John L. Kesler of Vanderbilt university. He said in part:
 There are three important steps in life in order to gain success. The first is the preparation for life's work. In this, one must seek culture and ed ucation, and. must make ones self fitted for the problems of the future work.
 After having prepared for life, one must get on the right road and stick to lit. If one does not stay on the right road all their preparation has been in vain and their efforts will be wasted. We must stay on the right road. for if we have started on it, and stray away all our good work is undone and we will be lost.
 There is onsbility resting on our shoulders. and We must bear it nohly, and not only stay on the right road, but help others to do the same" " V. NJ. Gardner class president. de- livered the farewell address to the school in behalf of his classmates.

T am to meet committee from the operators at my office in Montgomery tomorrow at 3 o'clock and hear .heir statement.
 "It remains that in my award 1t was clearly stated that the wages then being paid should remain In
 vogue until April 20, 1922. The operators are bound by that agree ment and cannot have escaped it's obligations except by consent of the wage earncrs.
 Hits Public
 "The certain thing is that if wages lave been reduced and coal IS being mined at lower cost in order to se- cure contracts with large consumers fully able to care for themselves, this reduction must be passed tc the small consumer, the house holder and the concerns using small quantities of coal.
 'Last years prices for coal are not going to he paid by the peo- pie of Alabama. They will not stand for some of the prices that were exacted. There Is no doubt
 that there was prefiteering by some retail dealers. There cannot
 he repitition of that this year.
 As l say, the people will not stand for it.
 So far al the earnings of the state eonvicts in the mines are concerned, that IS minor matter. Automa tlcally that is adjusted according 10 the price paid miners in free mines.
 Matter of Integrity
 "The important matter involved is q ha fAr Il stand in a most unenviable light if, after l had rendered an award based on their> contractual integrity, they should violate the terns of that award by reducing wages without consent. If there has been mutual agreement, that is another matter. Without matual agreement the spirit and tenor of my award wifi have been rankly violated.
 That is the question which I shall thrash out with the operators at my office tomorrow"
 The governor reiterated his decla . ration that any reduction in wages tased on lower prices for coal fur nished large consumers should be re- f.ected in reduced prices for coal to the small consumer and that the peo- Iie would not stand for the prices charged last fall in many instances.
 Miners Concerned
 The governors statement was called for following his being made acquaint- ed with wage reductions that have been made in the coal field. They ap- uear to be quite general and to have been instituted at union as well as mines, the Beltona mine union, being among them. Others making reductions are the Verona Coal, Majestic, Woodward Iron and small operators in Jefferson ano Walker counties.

EARLE BELIEVES NATIONAL. ROADS
 ID BE REALIZED
Federal Direction of Construc- ton, Linking State Capitals, First Step, Says Exchange
 Club President

National good roads will come with federal direction of highway construc- ton, which will link every capital of the states comprising the union, ac- cording to Horatio s. Earle of De- troit, national president of the Ex- change clubs of America, who was in Birmingham yesterday to presde at the organization of a state body.
 Strongly advocating the Townsend bill, MT. Earle declared that federal aid as now distributed was not giv- ing full results. He outlined a plan whereby the federal government would build intercapital roads and the states themselves construct roads con- meeting county seats.
 Standard Roads
 There are three kinds of roads which are standard, MT. Earle said. These are brick, concrete made with Fort land cement, and asphaltic concrete. Concrete is the best, he said, because it grows harder as it ages, while brick chips and wears away fast. Asphaltic concrete loses it's life after so many years of service, he asserted.
 MT. Earle, as state highway com missioner of Michigan, had the first mile of concrete road in America built in June, 1909. Owing to opposition to concrete at the time, he was forced to describe it as a macadam road in paying the road commi ssioners of Wing county, in which Detroit is To- cated, for the work.
 s.000.OOO Vehicles
 This stretch of roadway is still holding up under heavy traffic, he said. estimating that more than S,000,- 900 vehicles have traversed it's sur- face. It is located on Woodward ave. nue, Detroit, just beyond the Fora plant.
 The dollar that goes the farthest is the dollar that stays at home,'' said MT. Earle, advocating road d-building as far as possible with materials found within the borders of the state con structing the road.
 Mr., Earle. who. is now serving his second term as head of the Exchange clubs, will advocate the establishment of .sanitarium for the treatment of children whose minds are crippled when he speaks before the national convention of Exchange clubs.
 National Hospital
 He expresses his ideas of a national home. which would take care of 50U patients at time. He explained that the children would not have to remain at the institution more than two weeks. so that rapid turnover of the patients would be insured A great many children could be reached by this plan, he believes.
 From Birmingham, ME. Earle goes to Montgomery and then to Houston, \.

The directors of the association invite constructive criticism, and ask for sug- gestions from their patrons. They will take them in good part and act ac- cordingly."
 The market plot is q nice level space and has two neat graveled walks be- tween the three rows of stalls. In this manner access to each wagon and truck is of greatest convenience. The market is within a half block of the East Lake car line.
