1t is claimed that reckless driv-
ing exacts a toll of one life every
AZ minutes on the United States
highways. $1,000 Americans died
in the last year and half as a re-
suit of motor car accidents. These
figures are startling when it is
pointed out that only $4,000 of our
boys were killed outright in the re-
cent world war. The prospects are
also that this will increase with the
increase in the number of cars.

 EAVES' STATEMENT
Gives Authority For Report of Closing Anti-Tuberculosis
 Sanitarium

To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 With glaring headline. becoming to another "Ferd sensation :" your is- sue of today states; Greatly exag- gerated is term applied by Eaves to Gaston charge" I expect through a spirit of fairness at lelst sufficient space for counter statement.
 In my article of May II, reference to abandonment of the Rcd Mountain tuberculosis sanatorium stated In ef- feet that 1t was my information. That information was conveyed to mo in the form of "rumor by pr. Bowling, city and county health officer. in a personal discusslo of Birmingham B public health crisis. That rumor was verified to me in the form of fact by Mir. Fl. H. K. Jefferson, vice pres ident of the American Trust and Saw ings bank, and treasurer of the Anti- Tuberculosis association.
 Dr. Bowling Is the city's highest authority on health questions. and personally and publicly indorsed all statements in my article, so far as related to health menace.

 Dr. Brown presented charts and figures to show that since 1911 the total enrolment in the Birmingham public schools had increased from 22.000 to 39,000 and that accompany- ing this 76 per cent increase in en- school facilities had increased only two per cent
 Attention was called to the tenn porary, inadequate and unsanitary accomodations in use by more than 30 per cent of the pupils; that 43 children was the average enrolment for a teacher; that compared with five other southern cities ranging in size from 15o.000 to 100000. Bir- mingham stood at the bottom in per capita expenditure Ter annum for school purposes. with $4.9S, while Dallas, Texas. stood at the top with s9.31 per capita expenditure.
 1t was also pointed out that sta- tistics from the national education headquarters at Washington placed Birmingham in the lead of A Ameri- can cities of approximately the same size in natural wealth behind the school dollar but that it spent only one dollar for school purposes for every 32Ss 1t possessed in 1920.
