COUNTY UNITS ARE
 CREATED AT U. OF A.
Students Become Organized Into County Units, Which
 Prove Very Popular

University, July Especially ,)--N great deal of interest has been man ifested in the organization of the sumner school into county units at the suggestion of Dr. James J. Dos ter, director of the summer school The Kappa Delta Pi fraternity, through its president, r. J. Green, in- itiated the movement and called n meeting at which time a committee was appointed to draw up and com plete plans for the organization of | she various counties
 The committee was composed of some of the leading students and instructors of the summer school They met on Tuesday evening and selected Prof Ira l.. Helms as chair man of the committee and made ar engagements for proper publicity to be given the plans. They planned county organizations for the early morning of the Fourth and as re- suit groups were seen meeting all over the campus early in the morn ing for the purpose of electing coun- ty officers.
 County Reviews
 Among the larger groups repre-. sented are Mobile. Montgomery Dal- las, Jefferson and Morgan counties. There are several other counties well represented but they seem to be in the lead. The regular play hour WAS replaced yesterday evening by r.'- view of the various counties in which most every county was represented. It is expected that at the next fc- view that every county will have It's representatives in the demonstration. since all counties are represented in the summer school.
 The instigation of this plan means much to the university summer school nia number of ways and means still more to the state at large and to the individuals themselves. US purpose Is to promote friendship among the teachers of the vario2s counties of the state and to create a spirit of rivalry that will inspire the teachers to a greater work at hotne. It is also to permit teachers to solve each others problems. Bat the main thing that the authorities want is to get the counties so organized that their officers may confer with the students from their home counties and find out just what they want and in this way inject anything new into the university that the students and faculty think Is beneficial. The first meeting was addressed by Dr. r. F. Claxton, Dr. James $, Thomas and Senator Charles R. West. Senator West grouped the counties and contributed much towards CT ganizing the review.

she is grateful for Kind word, no
matter how gruffiy spoken.
In fact, Germany's feelings today
are very like those of the lady who
sang "Juanita" at concert. She
sang so badly she was interrupted
with volley of catcalls, but in the
tumult man yelled fiercely:
"Order, orderl Give the old geezer
a chance"
"Oh," she said, "I'm so glad to see
there's at least one gentleman in the
house."
