councils In Alabama cities to indorse
and vote for the amendment.

Reports to seaport headquarters in

gaining ground everywhere and

Besides being principal OF the
Rockford school. known as the Han
over Junior High, Mr.. Pinson has
been a member of the board of educa-
ton of Coosa county for two years.
He has taught In the public schools
of that county for five years. It is
his duty each season to pass on the
educational fitness OF teachers that
are to be employed, and so broad and

Teaches Latin
While Mr.. Pinson likes best to
teach history and the social sciences.
II has been necessary for him to take
Latin and other branches that any
of the other instructors are not able
to teach. He frequently leads pupils
through the mazes of Caesar and
Cicero.
He declared: II SO hope the people
of Birmingham will cooperate in
this new work for the blind here,
and buy the things tho sightless
make. They are necessary things,
and their purchase will make tho

Asked what other successful
branches the blind may follow, he
said they become splendid public
speakers, lawyers, ministers. In fact,
few branches are denied them.
With pride, he spoke of his sue
cess in his school with athletics
having a splendid boys as well as
girls basketball team. His work has
always been perfectly satisfactory
There is not better school any
where, educators have declared.
His final word to the blind was in
spring:
Never think the world is not
yours. Tryl Trying will bring you
Success-and toy."

Anger During Trial

South Bend, Ind, September To-
The sudden and dramatic intimation
hurled at Mrs. Augusta Herman, by
Attorney Samuel Parker in the form
of a question, that her husband had
previously doubted the paternity OF
her second child. thus causing an
open break between the two. was
the outstanding feature of the Sec
ond day of the trial. in which Mrs.
Herman charges that Harry Poulin
and not her husband, a Notre Dame
law professor. is the father of her
third child, ten months old.
Mrs. Herman sprang to her feet
dramatically denying the inference
In a voice shaking with anger. she
called to the defense attorney to
stop that"
Don't you dare intimate such
thing" Mrs. Herman cried, while
her husband who had partly risen
to his feet, resumed his seat and the
gallery broke out into cheers for
the woman who has voluntarily TAX
en- the stand and barred in detail her
story of shame and deceit in order
to make her alleged "betrayer" also
suffer.
