OF the captains of the School Patrol
on an investigation and suggestion ride.
The boys and the grl-for there was
ono little girl captain along listened
with serious eyes and thoughtful faces
as Miss Safety First explained to them
the purpose of the ride.
"Non see. boys--and girl" said
Miss Safety First, who in real life is
Miss Laura ". Roadifer. I'VE want
you to express your opinions and to
suggest any improvements you think
ot.-and We want you to notice the
safety devices that are on the bus

crowd OF curious spectators. whizzed
up the Roosevelt Boulevard--past the
Sears- Roebuck plant, while the chill.
dren chatted.
Miss Safety First. who has person.
ality plus and is able TO sway the boys
and hold their attention every second,
told about the Safety Patrol.
Tells OF safety Patrol"
when the p. n. 7. saw all the

more danger,
"You boys have assumed the re.

Mitten wants TO reward you and show
his appreciation for all you have done

and in the, heat and cold to further
good work.
Miss Safety First appealed TO their
heart interest with an air that was II
mixture Of tolerance and patronage
and she certainly had those Youngsters
looking around to make a suggestion
of any Improvement that the designers
might have missed. Though they
looked bard and long. they found
nothing that they could in any way i'm.

70 Be No Joint Mine and Rail Strike on April
Agreement Between
 Premiers May End
 Long Irish Dispute
By Associated Press

London, January 21.-The Irish situation took a surprising and un- expected turn today with the am noun cement that Michael Collins, head of the Irish provisional government. and Sir James Craig. premier of Ulster. had arrived at a mutual agree ment which Nholds out the promise of peaceable settlement between the north and south. It was all the more surprising in view of the fact that Mir. Collins had only left Dublin last night to enter into consultations with Sir James this morning.
 In addition to the arrangements made to settle the boundary question, 1t was decided to cease forthwith mu- tual boycotts. What is considered of vast importance Is the decision to devise better system than the coun- ell of Ireland, as provided In the 1920 act, to deal with problems affecting the whole of Ireland.

MILLIONS AWAIT STATE WHEN LIKE
 SUM IS PUT UP
Nearly Six Million Dollars. Re- served. for Alabama Goes to Other States Un-
 less Matched
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age-Herald,
 300 Davidson Building.

Washington, January 214-(Spe- cial.)--Of the s7.s2s.97s.25 federal aid apportioned to Alabama since the en- actment in 1916 of cooperative road building Legislation. sb.s5s.sS1 re- mains in the treasury of the United States.
 Representative E. B. Almon of the Eighth Alabama district, member of the House committee on roads, pub fishes today the above> figures ob- :ained from the highway division of the department of agriculture.
 This vast sum. he declares. will be available whenever Alabama appro- priates like sum. This proves, he contends, that there should be no hesitation on the part of the people of the state in voting the $25.000,- 900 bond issue.
 Mileage of federal aid roads com pleted or being completed in Ala bama totals 576.4. For this work the government will have expended tS,- l66.06S. There Is available balance for new construction of $4,l63,905. only sIss0,2s2 has actually been ex- pended in the state by the govern ment. rf.
 Unless Alabama secures this money it will revert to the treasury for the use of other states.
 MT. Almon, in that connection. says: "f
 "Automobile licenses In Alabama for the year ending September 30. 1921, amounted to s1.147.65. Of this amount the state treasury received s917,S12, which was an increase of s146,0S0 over the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920. This license amounted to only $l13.350 in 1914, which shows how rapidly it is increasing.
 This proves that the collections from motor vehicle license will be sufficient to pay the interest on the highway bonds and create fund suf- ficient to maintain the roads and provide a sinking fund for the retire ment of the bonds as they become due.
 Federal aid to roads is an adopt ed policy of the government. and we can reasonably expect increased ap- propriarions by Congress from year to year.
 50 1t Is very important that Ala bama make provision to match the federal appropriations. If not Ala bamas allotment would go back into the treasury and be allotted to other states"
