JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
 PLANNED NEXT TERM
Several School Changes Are Keeping
 Authorities usy

Plans for organizing a Junior high school to care for the students of the first, second and third semesters of the high schools of Birmingham next year, will be included among the three plans to be submitted to the board of education by a special com mittee of high school principals, ac cording to announcement made Fri day at the administration building.
 The reorganizing of the present graded schools by adding a sub first schools eight grades instead of seven, is now under good headway, and with this additional grade, and new junior high school system inaugu- rated by next fall. September, 1923, will mark two of the most important changes in the school system.
 It is the opinion of many, however, that the changes in the junior high school may eventually lead to the establishment of a 633 plan in Bir- mingham. This system is proving most successful throughout the coun- try and calls for six-year school ing. three years of fundamental ju- nior high school training and three years of specialization work in the senior high school.
 The office forces in each of the de- partments of the board of education building are being taxed to their ca pacity in turning out the vast volume of clerical work that is heaped upon them at the closing season. Dedica- tion exercises of the new John Her bert Phillips High school will be the initial celebration of the commence ment exercises and will be held Wednesday. May 31. On Friday eve ming 400 graduates from the Ensley, Central and Woodlawn High schools will receive their diplomas, when an- propriate graduation exercises will be held in the auditorium of the new school

MANY PARENTS FAIL
 TO INFORM CHILDREN
Some Wild Oats" At Alcazar Has
 Educational Value

Many parents neglect to inform their sons and daughters of the pit falls confronting them on the dark road. and it is in such cases that the lesson of lifetime Is unfolded in two hours by 'he unique motion pie ture production, Some Wild Oats" at the Alcazar Theatre.
 The picture Is entirely different from any ever seen in Birmingham m and in addition to it's etertaiment value. there are some splendid educa- tional features.
 Because of the delicate subject touched upon ir the picture, it has been deemed advisable not to show 1t to mixed audiences. There are spe- cial shows for women between and 6 D. m. and for men between 10 a. m. and p. m. and and II D. m. Chil- dren under l6 years of age will not be admitted under any circumstances, the management announces.
 The picture brings before the pub lie the serious question of social dis eas4s. The subject is too delicate, however. and does not permit of the picture being shown to mixed audi enceS.

MULT1PLELISTING FURNISHING TOPIC
 FOR REALTORS TALK
Innovation In Handling Deals Will Come Up At Next
 Meetinq

There is only one topic now in Bir- the Birmingham Real Estate board ; listing. O. L. Horton, secretary of the Birmingham Real Estate board, II; H. Himrod. chairman of the com mittee handling the question, and other realtors are holding daily meetings getting the new develop ment here in shape for adoption.
 Because of the novelty of. the method in Birmingham the realtors are not going to gulp the change at one swallow.
 each phase of the question for pre- sentation, one at time, at meetings where the one feature can De thor oughly discussed, and, if necessary. changes to fit local conditions be made. It is possible. but not ex- pected, that the entire plan will be adopted at the next regular meeting
 The innovation. realtors say. as a whole. is highly desirable and is cer- tain of final adoption by the majority of members of the board within a short time, but every effort will be made to avoid inclusion of any fea- ture that does not fit the situation in Birmingham.
 Of paramount interest to Birming- ham realtors in regard to multiple listing. interested members say. is tine assurance Of eliminating competition among members when bids are made for factory sites. Heretofore. it has been matter of keeping an inquiry for plant sites secret by the recipient of the query. Now the field will be opened to any, yet all will be work ing to land the factory first and han dle the trade as a secondary consid- eration. the recipient of the initial query being assured of his share of the commission.
 Multiple listing will place all prom erty of this nature at the common disposal of all members, and the man initiating the business will be cared for. whether he closes the deal or not
 This fact alone" says Secretary Horton. makes multiple listing de- sirabie, Tor it makes the sale of the factory site matter of mutual inter est instead of general and inimicaI competition"
 There Is one class of property that will not be included. Office buildings hotels and great structures of this character will not go on the lists

STREET GAR UN|0N HAS NJ w CONT TRACT.
Pevear Says It Amounts To Three-Year Extension Of
 Present Agreement

The new three-year contract re- gently signed by officials of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company, and street car mems union, Local No. 725. of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Elm ployes of America. is virtually a three-year extension of the existing contract between the utilities compa- ny and it's employees, was the state ment to The Age Herald Friday night of J. S. Pevear, co-receiver of the B. R. l.. & P. Co.
 MT. Pevear said that the contrac: in brief guaranteed trainmen on the extra board slightly bettered con- ditions, and that the minimum wage scale for apprentices and helpers in the shops and gas. departments of the utilities company was raised slightly. The contract was signed few days ago, and will not go into effect until September 1, MT. Pevear told The Age Herald. The agreement was ratified by the carmen's union by vote of none to one, it was reported by R. P. Bernhard, president of the local union.
 contract. MT. Pevear said that men working on the extra board were guaranteed six hours a day for 15 days whether they worked or not, providing they reported for work each day. Under the old agreement the men were guaranteed 105 hours for 15 days, aTd while there is a decrease of Is hours for the two- week period, Mir Pevear said that the new agreement was slightly ad- vantageous to the trainmen through reasons which were too detailed, and too technical for explanation.
 Helpers and apprentices in the shop and gas department are guaranteed 9 cents an hour for their first six months of service. 40 cents for the second six months, and 45 cents after one year in the employ of the utilities company. In one of the departments the helpers are making B cents at present. while in the other they all ready are making ,35 cents an hour.

FREIGHT CAR DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE OCCUPIES DICKSON'S WORK DAY
Commissioner Still Looking For Satisfactory Solution
 Of Problem

Getting cost estimates and other
 data relative to the feasibility of handling Birminghams garbage the city on freight trains has kept Commissioner W. E. Dickson busy during the past few days.
 Mir Dickson suggested the method to the other commissioners, after some thought, when they inspected the main dumps earlier in the week. General approval was the response to the proposed solution, and now ways and means are beng analysed.
 Part of the plan MT. Dickson is considering, though he says the whole thing at present is nebulous, is the erection of a short trestle, on an in- cline, up which the dump cars can be driven. their loads dropped into bins and when tn ese bins are full, have a train of cars, similar to those that handle coal, take loads, by gravity, from the bins and haul them to a ra- vine which the railroad wants filled, and the contents of the. cars dropped overside. This, of course, will not be done anywhere near a settlement, but only in secluded localities where none will be bothered. Just as the city is filling low lands and gullies with garbage, eventually to level the land, the railroad can. in time, with the accumulation of solid and inde- structible matter, make permanent filling where it now has a trestle. Preliminary examination. MT. Dick son says. indicates that the handling of garbage in this manner will be far less expensive than floating and paying the interest on a bond issue for an incinerating system that will serve the city not only now but which must be built to provide for the future. As things are now, full incineration equipment can be pro- vided at cost under half million dollars, but such plant would not meet the demands of a community of half a million persons.

CRENSHAW BELIEVED HEADED HERE AFTER ESCAPE WEDNESDAY
City And County Officers On Lookout For Slayer
 Of WeSt0nS

While no trace of Ed Crenshaw, slayer of Mir. and Mrs. Harry Weston. in Ensley, in 1921, who escaped from the Bryce Hospital for the Insane at Tuscaloosa, early Wednesday morn ing, has been found, both the po- lice department and county authori- ties have doubled their efforts to ap- prehend him. It is their belief he will attempt to return to Birming- ham as he did when he first escaped, soon after his commitment to the hospital in June, 1922.
 His second escape tallies with his first, according to authorities at the hospital. He either used a key ot his own manufacture, or one snug gled in to him by friends. On the oc casion of his first break for. liberty. it was said that he carved key from wood
 Crenshaw was captured on his first escape in cafe near the Hillman hospital by two patrolmen. The off, ficers stated at first he offered no resistance. but when he discovered they were officers, put up a battle and was only captured after he had been struck over the head with q revolver in the hands of one of the oIllCeTS. " Hlle III the city Jdll, Crenshaw is stated to have again as- sumed the manner of an insane per- son.
 When first arrested he made no sign of being insane. but soon after wards he spent most of his time in writing strange letters .and num- bled continually. He was sent to the hospital by Judge William E. Fort. after several alienists declared he was insane.
 Mrs. Harry Weston was at one time Crenshaw's sweetheart. During his incarceration in the city and county jails he constantly spoke her name.
 Officials of the police department stated Friday afternoon should Cren- shaw be captured. he will be given mental examination, and if not adjudged insane, will be forced to stand trial for murder

 NEW OFFICE WORKERS
Mobile Woman And Birmingham
 Man Recommended For Jobs

Miss Mary M. Buck of Mobile and Charles Rousseau of Birmingham have been recommended for appoint- ments as stenographer and clerk, re- spectively in the federal prohibition headquarters for Alabama by Judge Charles M. Sartain, director.
 These appointments are the result of the recent suspensions of Miss Leila Huey. stenographer, and ByrCn Avant, clerk, which grew out of the investigation made into the office of Judge Sartain several weeks ago by special agents from the internal revenue department at Washington. D. C.
 Miss Buck in all probability will succeed Miss Huey and Mir. Rousseau will fill the place formerly occu- pied by Mir. Avant.
