SUMMER SCHOOL RECORDS BROKEN
 AT UNIVERSITY
More Than 1900 Enrolled, Exceeding All Attendance Figures For Previous
 Sessions of School

University, August 12.-(Special.) With total enrolment of more than 1,S00 at the summer school now in progress, the University of Alabama has far exceeded all figures for att tendance at similar sessions in past years. The attendance of approxi- mately HOO last year was the record up to that time.
 Although a large proportion of the summer school students are working for college credits. an important phase of the work Is the practical training offered adults who desire to improve themselves in their busi- nesses or professions. A short course in mining engineering was given under the direction of Prof. Hugh D. Pallister during the first six weeks of the sessions and was attended by a large number of practical miners, foremen and others. School teachers from all parts of the state are att tending the summer school, studying for collegiate degrees or preparing to obtain higher grade certificates.
 Dr. James J. Doster, dean of the school of education, IS director of the summer school. pr. J. s. Thomas and Prof. L. H. King are assistant directors, the latter being in charge during the second half of the session.

MAN-PowER IN CHINA

Life and labor are so cheap in China that men are still used for heavy work instead of machinery or beasts of burden. writes Robert Dol lar in The Nations Business. This was brought home to me very forci- : bly, in the handling of the big tim- bers which I donated for the rebuild ing of the famous Ling Ting temple near Hangchow. This temple was first built in 336 A. D. Marco Polo tells of visiting it. There are caves and shrines of all descriptions.
 His excellency Sheng Kung Pao. learning that Americans were plan ming to kerect a college nearby for the education of Chinese boys. de- cided to rebuild the central hall of the temple in all its former great ness and splendor--in its day it was the most magnificent of all Chinese temples. For this purpose he ordered 2s of the largest round timbers that could be found in America. donated these timbers and sent them over on the deck of the M. S. Dollar. They ran in size as long as 125 feet, and 4s inches in diameter at the butt; they were perfectly straight and as fine pieces as ever left America.
 At Shanghai the timbers were put on raft and taken up the Grand Canal to Hangehow. From there they were carried by coolies over the five miles to the site of the tenn pie. Two hundred and fifty men, 125 to each side, handled these great longs. A bamboo pole for each two men was tied to the timber by :, small rope. the poles angling slight iy to permit the man on one side to carry on his right shoulder. and his associate on the other side, on his left shoulder.

SEASON FOR BEAR STORIES OPENS IN
 CANADA, REPORT.
Bruin CoIIides With Jack Mule, Is Made to See Stars" While Another Story Re-
 vealS "Joy Ride"

Prince George, B. C., Aug. 1.-Two amusing bear stories, both vouched for by reputable witnesses, are going the rounds here. Forest fires in northern British Columbia during the past month have had a peculiar effect upon some of the wild animals of the woods. judging from some of the stories brought in to Prince George.
 A fight between a fire -crazed bear and mule. in which the bear was worsted occurred at l.. Mason's ranch at Bednesti. B. c. The forest fire routed the bear from it's lair. and In it's dash from the flames into the open country it collided violently with a jack mule. The bear was promptly stretched out on the ground by double tattoo from the capable hind hoofs, and the mule calmly re- sumed it's interrupted grazing.
 Thoroughly angered. thu bear picked itself up and cautiously ap- preached the mule from a different angle. The huge paw was brought down with a resounding whack on the mules ribs. This was unfor- tunate. The hoofs were again brought into play, after a quick, accurate ma neuver for position, and the fight was called off so far as the bear was
 concerned. MT. Mason, who had wit messed the unusual encounter. dashed ito the house for a rifle to finish the bear, should any life be left. Before l he could get back to the scene, how ever, bruin managed to get groggily to his feet and return to the less exciting environment of the forest fire.
 l A fire patrol ranger Is sponsor for another bear story. While making survey In the mountain district he came upon young cub suffering from severe burns on feet and body. The youngster was whimpering from
 the pain and the forester took pity on 1t, lifted 1t into his car and there made it fast wiy6 some rope.
 Mother Bruin Pursues The patrolman started on his four ney only to discover that the mother bear had appeared and was in hot pursuit As the track ran uphill at this point the bear. making long strides, gained steadily. and the need for strategy was clearly indicated. l The forestry book of instructions does not cover a situation such as this, but the ranger was resource ful and decided tthat the best plan would be to throw the cub overheard. Ills attempts to untle the Knots on the leashings which secured the Iyoungster to the machine, however, proved futile. Pursuer and pursued came to yet sleeper grade, with the advantage all with the former. Finally. with one mighty effort the old bear threw herself on the back of the car, holding on by her claws | and paws.
 This is where the forester decided to retire in favor of the enemy, He dove off the car, and regained his fact in time to see 1t continuing it's journey eastward, with mother and child happily reunited as it's passen- gers. Later the automobile was found. run down and everything in- tact except the side of the seat where the cub had been tied. the old bear having torn 1t out to release her off, spring.

BEST TREES FOR CITY STREETS Amelia Hill. in Arts and Decora-

ton.
 Roughly speaking. trees are used for one of three purposes. The first, street planting, is that which Is most apt to come within our Ken. Frequently, especially in new towns and developments" certain trees are to be planted along cer- tain streets; and householders are asked to do their bit' by purchas- ing and setting out trees to stand before their homes. The selection is generally made by committee, often upon a slight knowledge of the subject. based. perhaps, upon other plantings which have been made elsewhere under their observa- tion: perhaps not particularly sue cessful paintings. The argument is that one must have something and as there are not so very many kinds of trees one must stick to those one has seen. since anything out of the common probably will not grow. And so the decision is made.
 This method of selection, perhaps, may account for the widespread planting of the rock maple in Amer ican small-town streets. The choice of this tree is one against which the tree-lover should, and the tree knower will. protest. The rock maple Is not particularly fast grow ing. It is awkward in its habit, and is brittle and frail. It is not as dec- orative as many of its sturdier breth- ren, and when so many better trees may be had at no greater trouble and expense, it's popularity Is diff cult to understand.
 For streets there is no tree super for to the Norway maple. With it's symmetrical form and luxuriant foliage, which turns so beautifully in the fall, no other maple surpasses it. It grows with fair rapidity and 1t Is sturdy and resistant.

SOUTHERN SERVICE ISAT STANDSTILL,
 COMMISSION SAYS
Road Making No Effort to Fill Jobs of Strikers or Care For the Demands of
 Shippers
By FRED II. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Ago-Rernld, 22I-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, August 12.-(Spe- cial. .)-The Southern railroad is making no effort to fill the posi- tions of striking employees or to care for the demands of shippers during the strike, according to a statement issued today by the public service commission. The commis- sion announced that 1t had not and would not take any part in the con troversy between the railroads and their shopmen, but believed the rail- roads should attempt to meet the re- quests of the shippers.
 The commission said the Southern railroad had admitted that it had made no effort to employ persons to fill the positions of the strikers. "As soon as the Alabama commis- sion was authoritatively advised of the course being pursued by the Southern, this commission began to insist and has been insisting con- tinuously to the Southern aRilway companys officials in Washintgon and to their representatives in Ala bama that the view of this commis- sion is that the Southern Railway company's first duty is to render service to the public and that 1t was the view of this commission that it was the duty of the Southern to exert every effort to serve the pub lie under any and all circumstances" said the statement.

POPULAR TOPICS FOR LECTURE

POPULAR TOPICS FOR LECTURES From "The Tents of the Conserva-
 tive" by Allen D. Albert, in Scrib-
 ner's.
 The themes are kept close to tho plain people: "The Man Who Does,' ''Daring to Think" Human Pickles" Miles of Smiles" and Just Folks here are titles so close to reality that those who know the Chatauqua Lyceum will laugh aloud as they read.
 Mother, home, and heaven" may be expected always to be prominent in these programs. The form of the lecture may change little; the de- livery may tone down from the pres ent rapid fire" Gatling gun, "straight-from-th -the-shoulder style; but they will continue to have the favor of Chautauqua guarantors, l am confident, until the guarantor himself is changed.
 Yet what Is called the "informa- tion lecture" has come now to press mother, home and heaven" harder and harder. Leaders like Arthur c. Colt, president of the extensive Colt Alber system, Harry P. Harrison, general manager of the many Red path circuits, and Paul M. Pearson, now the president of the Lyceum and Chautauqua association, are gen. timely eager the Chautauqua shall be of maximum service to it's patrons. their programs well ahead of the de- mands of local committees. It is they who are bringing forward a type of lecture of larger substance q Id more definite value.
 They find what they seek some times in the Sensation" lecture. A man who flies to Greenland in an airplane will probably be heard with curiosity, even though he be tech nically poor speaker; and the story of his expedition will have value in teaching geography.
 But such a sensation is usually short-lived. In a year or two some one else will fly to the North Pole and Greenland will have to step aside. The Information lecture" Is bigger than this. It is the talk of one who knows a subject author itatively, preferably one of the sciences, and has the unbelievably rare ability to talk of 1t entertain ingly.
 The 'Gatling gun" lecturer ob- serves this movement and does not fear 1t, saying:
 Tt is easier to give Information to those of us who have platform power than, to give platform power to the man who has Information"
