DR.. Garrett Is we'll fitted for this

In 1881. He finished his A. b. de-
gree in 1900. and his A. NJ. degree
in 1908 at Howard, and received his
Phi. D.. in 1910 from Cornell uni

Howard from the inside out" and
recognizing in DR.. Garrett the high
type of instructor needed to ac-
complish the aim of the college, in
vited DIR. Garrett to Howard.
One feature that he will intro
duce will ultimately provide the ma
terial for the writing of a history
of Alabama. So far there has been
no adequate history of the state. First
he intends to build up library of
secondary works and source ma
terial. Howard students will be en-
couraged to write history as well
as study 1t. While on their vacations
they will be requested to gather ma
terials for short studies of their own
counties. On their return to the
college. they will complete their es-
says under the personal supervision
of DIR. Garrett. These essays will

BY following this scheme, DR.. Gar

to gather material for greatly
needed history of the state.

MAI. TUTW|LER AND
ROBERT JE MISON
BACK FROM EUROPE
Major TutWlIer Says Europe
Is Recovering More Rapid
ly Than South After
Civil War

Major and Mrs. e. NJ. Tutwiler and
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Jemison sh.'
have returned from trip to Europe
covering more than three months. All
members of the party remained well
during the journey. They left Biz
mingham July and made both trips
across on the Majestic.
Major Tutwiler talks interestingly
of the steps which are being taken
by the European countries to get
back on their feet but he was more
impressed by an extended tour of the
battleships than by anything else.
while we were in Belgium said
Major Tutwiler, I'VE visited the
scenes of so many of the desperate
conflicts there, but 1t was at Verdum
that I saw something that made
most striking impression on me.
had not realized before that there
was SO much terrible hand to hand
fighting as Is evidenced there. For
instance we were shown 1877 bayonets
sticking from the ground. These
men were standing upright in their
trench when a sudden gas cloud kill
ed them standing and two immense
shells Immediately afterward buried
them completely except for the bay
onets which stuck above ground
Their monument was built by an
American with these protruding
hayonets as the dominant feature.
Tn France the people are induss-
trious and tho farms look fine except
in the immediate battle area. Much
of that land has not yet been clear
ed of shells so as to be safe. we
did not visit Germany, but were tolo
that Germans were working harder
than anyone in Europe. Their
deprecated money makes the situa-
ton difficult for all Europeans be-
cause they cannot buy outside goods.
Even so however I think Europe Is
recovering much more rapidly tnan
did the south after the civil war.
I'VE stopped first in England ana
went through Scotland and Wales by
automobile spending about month.
Then we went over to Ostend ana
visited Brussels and Antwerp and
various places in BELGIUM. Next we
went to Switzerland, then down TO
Venice and later up to Nice on the
Riviera which Is a wonderfully beau
tiful spot. Our last stay was IN
Paris from which we took some SIDE
trips. In France we heard nothing
but praise for Americans and their
mart in tho war. It made man
proud to be an American to hear the
many kind things that were said.
I'VE saw quite number of BIZ
mingham people including Murray
Brown and his bride in Paris. The
Age-Herald had hard time keeping
up with us, but after we got TO
Paris 1t was a regular visitor"

efficiency for handling merchandise
of every kind.
Government Expenditures
The federal government has spent
large sums of money In improving
the waterways of Alabama, thereby
aiding Alabama commerce, and 1t is
now quite time for us to do our part
As TO Mobile harbor, the federal
government has spent approximately
slO,00o,o00 in building 30-foot
channel through the bay and two
miles of the harbor, for dredging
and maintenance, while not a penny
or the states money has been ex-
pended In that cause.
This amendment will be voted
upon November Z, at the general cleo
ton, and offers Alabamians the OPP
portunity of providing means for de-
veloping their only port, and ex-
panding their commerce. BY voting
tor the amendment the Individual is
merely authorizing the state to lend
its credit in the form OF bonds, not
to exceed $4,000. 900, to a state en-
terprise with ownership of revenue
producing property ample to secute
the bonds"
At the conclusion of her address,
Miss Greene was warmly applauded
and the recipient of many congratu-
lations for her instructive and en-
PERTAINING address.
