 The tax payers of this city would like to know from Dr. Glenn, Mir Chadwick and MT. McLendon, some thing of the secret trade made with the Trades Council and the Founda- tion company building the Woodlawn school We would like to know whether or not the Foundation conr- pany was paid anything, or promised additional contracts, to work noth- ing but union men on our school buildings. We would like to know why it costs more than 90 per cent more per room under their adminis- tration to build school houses in Bir- mingham. than 1t does in Atlanta, or the average city In the United States. We would like to know why 1t will be necessary to spend more money on one school at Wood1awn than the capitol of Alabama cost or the new marble post office in this city.
 Juggling With Figures
 I noticed an advertisement In yes terday's paper under the head of Gold Facts ys. Bunk" signed by the bond campaign committee. placing
  mingham at s264 900, ,0o0 and that In Atlanta at s213, 3,000,O00, or making the property value in Birmingham $41,- o00,0o0 more than that of Atlanta. l want to ask Mir. Chadwick, chairman of the committee, If he doesn't know that he is trying to fool the public. and if he doesn't know that instead of property values in Birmingham be- ing S41,000,0 ,000 more than that of Att lanta, that property values in At lanta are 60 odd million more than that of Birmingham. These kind of figures which are incorrect, is the basis of showing that Birmingham pays for schools less than other cities per capita.
 I do not believe members of the city commission are dishonest. but l. like a great many others, feel that they have shown that they are abso- lutely incompetent, Dr. Glenn has st cceeded admirably in getting all the school teachers and school chill dren in politics--the children from six years old up can tell their fathers and mothers how to vote.
 Yours very truly,

| to tell the public whatever I can about the splendid strides moving pictures have made. Since 1 have been officially interested, as the city amusement inspector, the high grade quality of pictures and the splendid CO., operation I have always had from the local managers as well as from national headquarters, stimulated my interest greatly.
 ''The visit of MT. Jones to Birming- ham next week is really matter of great moment to all of us; he is so capable of telling us so many valuable things. and when I met him in Atlanta one of the first things that I asked him was to tell me of Atlantas plan, by which the better films movement had been conducted, and in answer, MT. Jones said among other things:
 A survey was made in Atlanta to secure facts in regard to attend ance, types of pictures, why some especially good ones were financial failures, reaction of the public to classes of pictures, public selection and the attitude of exhibitors. Their plan is to encourage, foster and pro- mote clean, wholesome family pie lures; to work for photoplays in in- stitutions and to promote good pie lures in rural districts. Twenty eight per cent of the pictures produced in 1921 were suitable for children. 8 per cent of the children attended. In order to bring this 2S per cent and 13 per cent together in Atlanta, childrens Saturday morning matinees were started and have been great success.
 MT. Jones will tell us during his visit here of how the 'children's mati- nees' were conducted in Atlanta, all of which will be splendid for us, be- cause Atlanta Is experienced in this movement and has made a great suc- cess of it.
 Son of Noted Minister
 Tt may be of interest to Birming- ham to know that Mr. Jones is the son of the well-known Atlanta minis ter. Rev. pr. Ashby Jones and he is one of the most interesting person. alities have ever met. He has made great reputation In his chosen line of work, his achievements not being overshadowed by those of his distinguished father. He Is young and clever, his face is unlined by times cares, and his hair is as black as that of any other stalwart young man on the sunny side of thirty
 When 1 was talking to Mir. Jones in Atlanta 1 was impressed with the fact that not all wisdom lies in gray hairs and wrinkled faces for certainly this young man is direct contradict tion of this idea.

Lynch, who is at the head of the southern enterprises of Atlanta, of which the Birmingham en-, terprises. including the Strand 1 theatre. the Galax and the Princess, l Is a branch. His interest in moving pictures was stimulated by his con-
 tact with the motion picture magnate and he has since given largely of his time and talents to the pushing of the better film movement in the
 United States and particularly the south.
 In talk with him 1t was brought out that he made a visit to New York some time ago and while there he in- vestigated the national board of re- View of motion pictures and was im- pressed with the sincerity and earn cstness of purpose of the reviewing committee and the desire of those connected with the national board to supervise the class Of films that are gwen to the public without hamper ing the free development of the new art of the film.
 "Mr Jones thinks that large part Of the blame for the failure on the part of the producers to give the pub lie the most uplifting drama lies with the public itself because the afore- said public will starve a first class picture to death while 1t will rush in crowds to see something that it imagines is going to be decidedly off color,-as for instance The Shiek' or The Affairs of Anatoi'
 "'oh pshawl' one woman exclaim-
 4N thing in both or those films and
 tf.ere wasn't a thing naughty in e!ther.'
 "It 1t any wonder that producers sometimes give a misleading title to a play? MT. Jones, however, thinks it is poor business judgment on their part to do this and Is trying to induce them to refrain from this unethical proceeding. even the blame for it lies with sensation seeking public.
 MT. Jones at recent big meeting in Atlanta of the better film com mittee made what was conceded by those who attended to be the best talk about motion pictures of any of the speakers. and those of us who are interested in moving pictures are ex- pecting his speech before the Cham Der of Commerce here next Monday morning at 10;30 o'clock to be repe- tition of his effort there and bril- liant exposition of the best that is contained in moving pictures"
