 about twenty other communities where houses, not owned by the county, are reserved actually for teachers, as at Bradford. Johns. Bessie, and all of the larger mining camps The T. c. I. Go. also furnish es teachers with homes that are com fortable.
 The county superintendent and board now require of teaching com munities that teacher have her own room, which must be possessed of & fireplace; that she have & study table and separate lamp, as well as a separate washstand, with her indi- vidul pitcher and basin.
 In the county-owned teachers homes. each teacher is required to pay $1 per week. This takes care of deterioration of the building and goes back into the district funds to replace anything which may be dam aged or broken.
 Separate or All Together
 One of the fine things about the county-owned teachers homes is that If the principals and the teachers want to keep house together and dine together. 1t is possible. If not. the principals family may maintain It's own household, while the teachers may either hire q cook. or do their work themselves.
 'Our effort" Superintendent Baker said. must be to make teaching so attractive that worth while men and women will want to continue in it as a life profession, and can be sure that, even miles away from city, they can enjoy comforts and fa- cilities for work"

 Two Sides
 This one is at the Minor school. and one side is for the school prin- cipal andahis family. while the other side is for the teachers. The two sides are connected by 8 wide hall. Entrances are separate. as well as are the Kitchens, the dining rooms, and there are separate bath rooms.
 The other two county-owned teachers homes are at Alliance, and at Jefferson county high school.
 One teacher, yesterday, looking upon the picture recalled the old days when teachers used to have to board arouHi." She laughed and sighed by turns.
 "A great many of the old time teachers. she said. were assigned to a cold company room, where they had to get up shivering shortly aft CT daylight, in order to eat break fast with the family and the hired hands. Often they had to break ice in the water-pail to wash tho sleep out of their eyes.
 Many Is the time," said she. ''that teacher had to pursue her work by the light of family pineknot or a smoky nose oil lamp.

 The murder of Mir. and Mrs. Craw- ford was said by officials of the To- cal police force to be one of the most brutal to have occurred in Birnting- ham in many years.

Mrs. Crawford's throat was cut from ear to ear, death coming instantly. Her husband lived seven days after being struck. although he never regained con sciousness.

 Robbery Motive
 Assistant Chief Thomas L. Chris tian, in charge of the Investigating officers stated that the assailants Of MT. and Mrs. Crawford had robbery as their motive, as the store and residence was found ransacked and all valuables taken. A little baby was found pinned in bed, untouched by the burglars and was turned over to relatives for safe keeping.
 The weapon used by the murderers was taken with them as nothing in- dlcating it's use in killing the people could be found by the officers.
 The arrest of the four men is due to the activities of Frank H. Lester, 2212 Sixth avenue, who working upon his own accord, secured what evil dcnce he has against the men. When questioned last night, Lester refused to disclose any facts in the case, pre- ferring to let the evidence be brought out in court.
 Barksdil, Thomas, Tribble and I.entz are men apparently engaged in farming. At the time of their arr rival in Birmingham they were each clad in muddy overalls. As they were being marched to the county jail they displayed deep interest in street cars, high buildings and other ob- jects around the city. although the four of them admitted having lived in Birmingham for short periods of their lives.
 They declare, in each case. their innocence of the crime. refusing to make any other statement.
