H. E. GrOffman Back From Worst

If residents of Birmingham could make a trip this time of the year to some of the northern states they would appreciate the wonderful blessing they have in their winter climate" said H. E. Groffman, south ern sales adviser of Cluett, Peabody S Co. large manufacturers of collars and shirts.
 Mir Groffman has just returned from the annual conference Of sales directors at the company's factory. Troy, N. Y. While he was there Troy experienced it's worst snow storm in "A years.
 MT. Groffman spoke enthusiastically of the business outlook for 1913. The men who attended the confer ence," he said marketing as they do in every section of America. are able to give a consen.sus of opinion which comprises a fairly accurate barometer on retail conditions throughout the country. We find that 1922 for us reflected steady. sane, satisfactory increase. We pre- dict that 1923 will show somewhat radical further increase in our vol ume An increase in the business of Arrow collars is sure index that the business of the retailers of the country is increasing and is on the upgrade. Many merchants from over the south visit Troy to see the thousands of operators at work fashioning Arrow collars and shirts. "Aratex advertising this year will be bigger and better than ever.

 status of things. He then learned
 that the strike only lasted five hours and that every one would be back on ,, the job at o'clock in the evening. Mir Marshall is an after-dinner speaker of national reputation and conversation with him fully demon strated why. He fairly sparkles with entertaining recollections and clever
 stories, relating several bearing on
 statements made during the inter- view.
 One of the cleverest of these was one which came when he was invited
 to buffet supper Thursday night.
 It was wound about Benjamin Harri- son, former president of the United
 States.

 of nominating Harrison for president at the democratic national conven-

W|NSH|P PRAISES COUNTY SCHOOLS; TALKS 0F GROWTH.
Impressions of Personal Tour of Jefferson Given by the Boston
 Editor

High praise Is accorded the Jef- ferson County public schools by A. D. Winship, editor of The Journal of Education, Boston, in the issue of March l. which has been received Lere. Mir. Winship was in the dis trict several weeks ago and made a personal tour of the rural school districts. taking in large terri tory. His paper gives page and a half to their commendation.
 In part MT. Winship says:
 Seven years ago there were but two modern school buildings for white children and many of the buildings for colored children were positively indecent. Since then there have been 63 first-class, consolidat- ed schools established and 63 first class buildings erected. For fiva years they have, averaged new building a month for white schools.
 Seven years ago there was but one country high school with to- tai enrolment of 401. Today there are 16 county high schools with an enrolment of more than s,2oo. All but two of these are already stan dardized. If an increase, outside of townships of z,000 population, of 700 per cent in seven years Is not the record when the enrolment in high schools is more than 5000, we would like to know where 1t is excelled.
 The great achievement is the creation of a neighborhood spirit, which is responsible for most of the county wide enthusiasm over the school improvement"
 Building Home Centcrs.
 
 ty school centers Mir. winship writes:
 "An unexpected feature in all this is the building up of charming home-centers wherever a beautiful consolidated school plant is estab- lished. Real estate men plot resi- dential sites as soon as one of the new consolidated schools is located
 The real distinction, of Jefferson county is in the schools for the col ored children. We know of nothing comparable to this achievement. The improvement in the buildings for colored children is as great as that for the white children. The colored children have as many days school ing as the white children"

 The article then recites the em- ployment by the Tennessee company of John c. Blackwell as superinten- dent of the company schools with instructions to secure the best teach CTS, etc, and concludes the article as follows:
 "One of the most remarkable demonstrations of solving compli- cated problems of school admins tration required the wisdom of statesmanship, the devotion of phll- anthropy and the skill of econo- mi ists."

The light duties of the vice presi- dent of the United States have from time immemorial been a subject to provoke merriment. but they proved sufficiently erroneous to Thomas Riley Marshall, who occupied the office for eight years, to break an unusual record which had stood for 20 years, he told an AgeHerald rep resentatlve Thursday afternoon at tho Tutwiler hotel.
 MT. Marshall is relieved at being out of public office and declared he would never be candidate again.
 "I am happy, very happy at being released from official duties," he told The Age Herald. There is not al ways happiness in the life of q pub lie officer"

JITNEYS REDUCE FARES
Large Cars Make Cut In Glen Iris
 Line Contest

With a fare reduction from cents to cents by the operators of large cars Thursday. the jitney war on the Glen Iris line entered into new phase. Ford operators looked upon it as a point in their favor and con sidered it an indication that they were winning their battle against the large cars admitted to the line by A. c. Smith. city jitney inspector.
 Warning was issued Thursday by Smith that all violators of the city jitney law would be promptly placed under arrest. Smith cited one of the most fragrant violations as being the inclination on the part of some jitney men to cut short their run by not go- ing to the end of the line.
 Complaint was recently made to the police department by officials of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Pow CT company that certain jitney men on the Birmingham Enslesy line were violating the ordinance by not going to the end of the run. Chief McDuff has issued orders to motor scouts to give the situation their close atten- ton.
