EXPOSITION PLANS
 ARE COMMENDED

Business conditions may retard for little while the plans of the world exposition proposed for the city of Birmingham by J. A. Mcknight, originator of Vulcan.
 However. Mir Mcknight plans to continue his labor toward making the project reality for the city.
 The committee appointed by the Civic Association met last evening with MT. Mcknight to discuss the question of setting up the exposition in 1925. The committee consisted of A. H. Dowdy, chairman. Other mem bers present were MT. stiggins, Martin J. Lide, Harry Halfacre and D. Hickey. The opinion prevailed that they would not be able to make a favorable report to the Civic Asso- cintion on the proposition at this time on account of financial and busi- ness conditions which now prevail and the great demands made on the people at a time when business is depressed.
 Thanks Given
 The committee unanimously com. mended the ideas of Mr. MacKnisht very highly, and gave him a vote of thanks for the proposals he made. which they declared were an inspira- tion to all who heard them. All members of the committee expressed the belief that the time was not far distant when Birmingham could undertake so good and ambitious a project proposed.

$5,000,O0O NEEDED FOR CITY SCHOOLS
Commission and School Board Failed to Reach Decision
 on Appropriation

Sweltering under the heat of a warm summer sun after deliberating for more than three hours, city com missioners and members of the city school board in executive session at the city hall yesterday failed to reach decision on the matter of approp- riations for improvement of the city school system through plans for d bond issue and application of the three-mill educational tax authorized by the recent legislature.
 As indicated by a meeting held last week, 1t was pointed out that the Birmingham school system requires prompt attention for the growing at- tendance which the schools are called upon to serve. Conditions outlined by the school board to the city com mission require immediate attention, which resulted in attempts being made by the city fathers to offer some solution to the problem con fronting educators and those interest ed in the welfare of school children. Fully $5,000,000 is needed to carry out the proposed improvement pro gram.
 School bonds are exempted from constitional limits which munich pality may float. which ordinarily may not exceed per cent of the as- sessment value, but just how the bonds will be floated and to what de- nominational extent, the commission has not yet been able to determine.
 Each mill tax levied against Bir- mingham property will yield to the city, $140,000 and with the entire authorized levy of three mills, would increase educational funds by S420,- 900. The city tax rate at present is s1.50 per $100 of assessed valua- tion, with the county rate at s1.l6 and the state 65 cents, making total now paid by city property holders s3.3O, which Commissioner Mary Echols contends is lower than most cities in comparison. She favors levy of the three mill tax and believes the people would ratify such tax levy to educate their children.
 Another session of the commission will be held this morning when the state of the city's treasury will De presented in tabulated form to as- certain to what extent the bonds may be issued and what action will De taken in reference to submitting the three mill tax to the people for rati- fication.

VITAL CHANGES IN
 SCHOOL PROGRAM
Supervising Architect to Make Survey of the Public
 Schools

Contemplating improvements in Bir- mingham schools, w. B. Ittner of St. Louis. supervising architect of Bir- mingham schools will make a survey of the city tomorrow and Thursday with the idea in view of suggesting vital changes in the city school im- provement program. A telegram an nouncing his approaching visit was received by Dr. c. B. Glenn to this effect yesterday.
 Announcement is made by the su- perintendent of schools of the prob ability of the construction of an ad- ditional school here upon the platoon system of education, which is being largely encouraged by school officials.
 Dr. Glenn is known to have ex- plained the play study-work plan to the various city school principals and if they request the adoption of the system, it is universally agreed that the plan will be adopted for the city, which will necessitate construction of another school, giving less space to class rooms with additional facilities for work shops, gymnasiums and playgrounds.
 MT Ittner is considered an author ity on buildings and 1t is probable that his visit next week will develop into improvement if the city's school system

By DOLLY YnALRYMPI.E-

Some irascible old gentleman from Somewhere east of Suez" took me to task recently because I adore oc- tavus Roy Cohen and lauded his work beyond and above any other American writer of the day, with the possible exception of old Irv Cobb, and said something about the advis- ability of me and Roy Cohen devot- ing our time to old writers like Ad- dIson, Chaucer and Beaumont and Fletcher, Samuel Butler and his deadly dull "Hudibras," the Letters of Junius" and Oliver Goldsmith, all of whom l read but not to the ex- clusion Of lighter literature.
 In other words, he asked:
 What is literature?"
 Which makes me think about the sporty old gent" whose wife hauled him to the literary society meeting when "hubbies" were expected to be on hand and the subject being Chau- cer and "The Cantebury Tales" a long and tedious harangue was in dulged in, the sporty old gent" fall ing asleep in the big arm chair by the fireside.
 ouodenly nc was aroused by the words The Canterbury Tales" ana rubbing his eyes and thinking it was up to him" to give an answer, he said drowsily:
 "The Canterbury Tales?" Gee whiz; my favorite tale is a cock tail'' (Mar- tini preferred).
 Any way what this all leads up to a possible demurrer on What is art?" because somebody is sure to say that music, the most beautiful of all the arts, shouldn't be written about as commercial proposition, to which I make mention in the be- ginning of my story that while peo- pie from Tahiti to Timbuctoo, from Hollywood to Fogg's Ferry, may say that such a thing is a prostitution of art" yet I say that the greatest art in all the wide world is the art that enables a clever woman Cor man) to convert into practical use beautiful thing-thus making the world more beautiful and people more happy.
