SMYER IN WASHINGTON
Third And Fourth Class Postmasters rs EXpected To Gain From Conference.

After attending the National Con vention of Postmasters being held in Washington for three days, beginning Wednesday morning, Postmaster R. B. Smyer will return to Birmingham Saturday.
 It was said that several of the recoN mendations would be that fourIn-class postmasters be furnished with offices and other necessary equipment and tha third-clas post masters be placed on a salary basis. Fourth-class postmasters previously have provided their own offices and their pay was based on the number of cancelled letters.
 If the recommended changes are made, third-class postmasters will probably be placed in the same class as both second and first class post masters, it was believed. Fourth class members of the department may be allowed office buildings and a reg ular allowance.

By r. J. KLIEGEL

The high school BASEBALL season
opens tomorrow with Central play
ing Brawley at the northern city,
The game will be called at 2:3O p.
m. Owing to the late track season
this year Central has hardly had
time to organize a baseball team so
there will be many changes in the
lineup for the first two or three
games. Out of long list of names
sent to the office for qualifications
in studies only Ii were accepted.
Some of those who are ineligible
are among the best players, so for
the first game many new men will
be seen in action for Central.
Leon McEivany will probably be
in the box for the Blue and White
nine with Thompson, Stricken, or
Thomas on the receiving end.
Frank Paine, this years captain,
will hold down one of the fields
where he played last year. Willie
Mum has been doing some good
work at third base and will start in
