 O, it's 8 great little life to be the assistant secretary for the city! But the fact that Mrs. Hewes has been passed along from one commission to the other proves that she is thor oughly capable; knows what to do in case of emergency, and that she Is q valuable working asset in the citYa life.
 Two Interesting Sisters
 It is quite interesting to chronicle that she is the oldest sister of Miss Ina Sheppard, Birmingham woman, who, as everybody knows, so long was manager of the Birmingham Clearing House association, and who now is office manager for Ward, Sterne & Co. She Is also a sister, to Mona S. Williams, who Is secre- tary to the city comptroller. Very rare in the annals of any community is it true that there are three sis- ters who are such capable. self re- liant, and undeniable business geniuses.
 Mrs. Hewes has been with the city nine years this fall, coming in with torney. She then served two years as stenographer for the commission. She has held her present status since 1916. now being associated with L E. Gray. commission secretary, who. she declares, is a mighty fine official"

Somewhere in the hearts of sever al thousand Birmingham people, this woman possesses something like the space of a city block.
 So great a heart-domain is hers because she has earned its by her sincerity, her downright helpfulness, and her attitude that nothing is too , hard to do if it is for anyone's service.
 She Is Mrs. Euniee S. Hewes, and her job Is being assistant secretary, or assistant city clerk, to the com mission.
 She. therefore, belongs to the whole city; and on her the city relies for a great many things.
 For instance, there Is the tYping and binding of the minutes of the commission meetings. That means really the history of the executive dolngs of the town
 A great many times, since she has been at the city hall so long, she often takes those minutes. This re- quires great deal of strict atten- tion to detail, and perfect exactitude.
 Hns served As Secretary
 Lots of times, in the absence of the city clerk, Mrs. Hewes has served as secretary to the commission.

 Every minute "b-r-r-r' went tho telephone, with anxious persons on the line waiting to know everything from how the election might be go- ing. to what was required to be done in the case of a cat which had stolen neighbours perfectly adorable bird the one, you know, which thrust out his little bill to kiss his mistress every morning before breakfast.
 Enough blanks were not down at the election polIs-would Mrs. Hewes send some down at once?

CTS of separated sections can get each others solution for problems in teaching.
 The coming of this fraternity to the state means much to the profess sion for it will provide just that bond and organization that has long been needed to cement the teaching pro- fession in the state. It will also be quite an incentive to scholarship since requirements for membership are very strict In that respect. An undergraduate must be of junior standing in the university, have not less than six semester hours of edu cation to his credit, and have Q standing of high scholarship before he is eligible to membership. A teacher who has graduated must have become distinguished in his work before he Is elegible.
 Charter members of this local chapter are James L. Doster, direc- tor of the summer school and dean of the school of education at the university; Dr. Leo H. King, profes- sor of secondary education and as- sistant director of the summer school; H. C. Pannell, H. A. Grant ham, Leila Purvis, Gladys Pugh.

ADVISES SPRING BARLEY
NOT PROFITABLE CROP
'. p. |. Agronomy Instructor
Tells Of Experiments
With This Grain.
II. Is. ReJtI,
Instructor in Agronomy. V. +. L.

l..
Articles have appeared recently in
various agricultural publications
recommending spring barley as II
profitable crop and as n substitute
crop for spring oats in this State.
These articles have created, through
error or statements, great deal OF
interest among large number OF
virginia farmers.
During the years OF 1917 and 1918
the Virginia Experiment Station con-
Quoted experiments TO determine the
value OF spring barley as Virginia
crop. In these experiments, varie-
ties OF barley that had given best
results in the leading barley pro-
ducing States were used. These lead
lug varieties OF barley produced
during the two-year period an aver
age of 1917 bushels of grain per
acre. In most cases the yield was
not sufficient to pay tho cost of pro :
duction. In addition to a very low
yield large percentage OF the crop
was diseased and had fallen down
To such an extent that harvesting
was very difficult and costly.
During the same period an expert
mcnt was conducted with spring
oats. with the exception OF using
varieties OF oats that had given bcst
results in Virginia, this experiment
was identical with that conduct ="
with barley. Tho oats yielded an
average of 3T.S bushels Of grain per
acre for the two-ycar period. and
no trouble was experienced with dis
cases. harvesting, etc.
Tho results of the above expert
ments show very clearly that spring
