JUGO-SLAvIA WINS
 DIPLOMATIC POINT IN F|UME DISPUTE
Concession Will Permit Her To Build Up Port To
 Rival Plume

BELGRADE, Sept. 17-(By Asso- ciated Press )-While Jugo- -Slavia was celebrating the fifth anniversary of the capture of Monastir and the piercing of the Saloniki front. news was spread today to the effect that Jugo- -Slavia had scored a diplomatic victory over Italy-that, as the mat ter was represented here, the Octo- genarian premier Pachitch, builder of Jugo -Slavia, had beaten the young and aggressive Mussolini on points in the duel over Plume.
 Italy will have Plume, public opin- ion agrees, but she will pay for it by concessions on the Italian littoral which the Jugo- -Slavs consider an adequate equivalent. and it is com~ fidently predicted by the Jugo-Slav that the port to be developed in the vicinity of Plume will make the grass grow on Fumes quay within two years"
 Details concerning the resumption of negotiations between Jugo -Slavia and Italy are being kept secret by the foreign office and the names of the negotiators are withheld but it is believed generally that the con versations are being carried on be- tween the two premiers personally. It is declared here o-Slavia can mobilize 100000 men within 24 hours. At present there is shortage of artillery but this deficiency can be met.

INCREASE OF 38.6l PER CENT IN CHILD LABOR REPORTED
Birmingham Shows Gain Of 63 Per Cent Over Last
 Year

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.-An- ap- parent increase of SS.6 per cent in child labor over the corresponding period last year was shown in sta tistics made public today by the childrens bureau of the department of labor, covering the first six months of the current year in 30 selected cities.
 The survey was based on the num- Der of miners between the ages of IA and 16 years who received first working permits. It was pointed out that although the figures were cons sidered representative, they did not necessarily show the actual numb CT of children at work. Those working in violation of the law, it was all legged, could not be shown, and in some cases increases might indicate more rigid enforcement of registra- ton laws.
 In most instances the figures for the first six months of 1928, al though carrying big increases over last year, were substantially below those of 1920. Child labor reached its peak in the war years, the fig ures indicated, and began to slump in 1920 at the beginning of the re- cent business depression. With bet ter times in 1922 the number of mi- nors taking out their first working permits began to mount again.
 The latest figures indicated still further increases. generally ac- counted for by the fact that factories and mills are busy and business is prospering.
 Waterbury Leads
 The largest jump was in Water bury, Conn.,, where PIT, or almost eight times as many children re ceiVed permission to work during the first six months of 1922. Other Con- necticut cities reported increases of schester, Milwaukee and Louisville from four to five times as many cer- tificates were issued during the cor responding months year ago.
 Other cities reporting large gains were Springfield. Mass, 215 per cent; Pittsburg, 127 per cent; San Fran cisco, S5 per cent; Indianapolis, 1J per cent; Birmingham 63 per cent; Baltimore. 56 per cent; and Philadel- phia. 15 per cent.
 New York City with 1S,992 points. showed an increase of 27.4 per cent.
 Special permits issued or vacation employment were not included in sur vey and the bureau report ed that the number of school children taking jobs for the summer months was much larger than usual.
 Permits issued for the first six months of 1928 included: Baltimore 1,97S; Milwaukee. 1888; Newark. x. J., 1,091: Philadelphia, 5,064; Pitts burg, 1,129; St Louis. 2,775; Spring field, Mass, 365 San Francisco, POT: Birmingham, "A, New Orleans, 1,234: and Indianapolis. S60.

ways to fight that film. One acts to disintegrate the film at all stages of formation. The other removes it without harmful securing.
 Those methods were subjected to many careful tests. Then new type tooth paste was created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent.

The supporters of M. Pachitch maintain that he played his trump card in using his influence with France. He is credited with inducing Premier Poincare to bring about quick action in the French parliament on the 300,000,000 franc loan to Jugo Slavia.
 The trip here of Marshall Franchet de Espere- of France, who accom- panied Premier Patchitch is regarded as another fine stroke. the marshal's stay in Serbia has aroused a great wave of popular enthusiasm.
 The JI goslavs were much heart ened by the failure of Mt ssolini to assume liberty of action" on Sep tember 15 as he had declared he would, and it is now believed the af- fairs will be settled through nego- tiations. Great importance is at tached to the filing of the Rapallo treaty with the League of Nations, thus making it an internationally recognized instrument.

SCHOOLS OPEN

The streets of Ensley were literally lined with school boys and girls Mon day as the schools were opened for the new work. The EnSley High school and all the grammar schools were filled with youngsters and while some confusion reigned during the early hours. it was stated during the afternoon that the registration had proceeded admirably and that the boys and girls would be straighteneu out soon.
 Work Monday consisted principally of getting placed in the rooms and obtaining the book lists that were supplied during the morning. The students were dismissed early so they could buy their supplies for the year and will convene again Tuesday morning. It was stated Monday that the enrolment bids fair to exceed that of last year, but the opinion is entertained that the new school com pleted here during the summer, will enable a sufficient number to be placed as to make the crowded con- dition less obvious than last season.
 However, there will develop 8 shortage of space as has been the history of local schools for the past be.abl- to work the problem out and All members of the faculty were oh hand Monday and will be present Tuesday morning to give out lessons for Wednesday.

What film does

Film is that viscous coat you feel. Much of it resists the tooth brush, clings and stays.
 Soon that film discolors, then forms dingy coats. That's how white teeth lose luster.
 Film also causes most tooth troubles. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tar tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
 Few people who brush teeth in old ways escape

and parts of Europe whose legal quota of immigration has been exhausted.
 The LaFollette seamen's act permits a seaman of a foreign vessel to remain on shore for sixty days before reshipping. It is simple matter for vessel whose nor nal crew is thirty or forty men to bring four or five times that number, and as soon as the vessel reaches port allow them to dis appear. Adding these undesirables to those who are smuggled into the United States in other ways by organized bands of snug glers, it appears that there is considerable inflow of aliens of the least desirable type. The American people will approve the most drastic steps the government may take to prevent such violations of the immigration law

SMUGGLING ALIENS

The American government, struggling with varying success to keep out flood of
 contraband liquor and narcotics, now faces new problem, the "bootleggng of immi- grants" in the guise of seamen. That prac- tice has probably been going on to certain extent for many years, but the restrictions placed on immigration have given it renewed impetus. Secretary of Labor Davis says an extensive survey of industrial areas in Penn sylvana and New Jersey has been started by immigration officials to learn how many aliens have been smuggled into the country under the seamen's act. It is believed that thousands of foreigners have adopted this method of evading the immigration law, among them many Asiatics, while others have come from Greece, the Balkan states

dicatons that the idea of peace and disar- mament means as little to Europe as 1t ever did before the World war. In fact, the after math of that conflict has sown the seeds of hatred and distrust so far and wide that the whole of Europe has been compared to an armed camp, with every nation on the alert for hostile move. It is deplorable, but it is human nature. Americans who live in fancied security can scarcely appreciate the European state of mind.
 France and Germany are deadlocked in the Ruhr. Great Britain, distrustful of her ally's intentions, is taking steps for her own defense. That an alliance exists among Germany, soviet Russia and Turkey is re- garded as certain. In that combination there is more potential trouble than any where else, but it is only one of the symp- toms showing that Europe is on a volcano that may burst forth at any moment. In the Near East there i3 more unrest. As in the past, the Balkans are a storm center around which the next war may revolye.
 One of the latest rumors concerning the Balkans involves the British governmens, which is said to be aiding in the equipment of 500,000 Serbs who may be useful to Great Britain if the Turks get out of hand. This equipment includes 100000 rifles, 100000 blankets and 1,500,000 cartridge belts. If Great Britain, in spite of her huge national debt and the groans of her tax payers, is giving financial assistance to the Serbian army, it is because sne fears an- other war and not for any love of Serbia.
 With warlike preparations going on every where in Europe, the munitions makers and the contractors are thriving just as if the Versailles treaty had never been negotiated and Mr. Wilson's famous fourteen points" had never been uttered.

SHARING WITH WAGE FARMERS

The present prosperity enjoyed by the Birmingham district is the best rounded that it has ever experienced. There are no jagged places in the industrial and commer- eial fabric. The pace of expansion, inn provement and increase has been practically the same in every quarter, while employees as well as employers are sharing the benefit. Thrice in ten months the leading producers have declared wage advances voluntarily. The recent wage increase for coal miners has evoked public approval. The right of all to share the increasing prosperity is recognized. Men at the head of large inter- ests have manifested a real conservatism in the handling of the new prosperity. There has been more of the spirit of the Golden Rule than industry has heretofore recog- nized. The underlying common sense of that simple yet basic precept appears to be better understood and more generally needed than hitherto in the history of American business. In that spirit lies the prolongation of what we have. There must be fairness to the consumer and fairness to the wage earner. The prosperity must be shared if it is to continue. We will be fortunate if we keep that thought to the fore and continue to act on it.

AN EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE

Than the duty of providing sound edu- cational advantages for the children of the country there certainly can be none more important, and it is for such purpose that earnest men and women whose life work has been in this field have been meet ing in Cleveland. At Thursdays session or the department of superintendents of the National Educational Association resolutions were adopted which will no doubt furnish, when they are available in their complete form, much that will be useful in furthering this important work. Also the announce ment was made of worlds conference on education to be held at San Francisco and Oakland, June 28 to July 2, at which there will be representatives from fifty nations to speak for four hi ndred million school children. During the Cleveland session many of the problems vital(y affecting the wei fare and mental guidance of children were ably discussed. Remedies for faulty taxa tion, methods of choosing superintendents, and the reduction of the costs by increasing the efficiency of the teachers were debated.

A Timely Editorial
Attacking Americanism
Chattanooga Times)

A number of republican contem- poraries in various sections of the country are greatly aggrieved that a state of the American union, Wis consin, should be trembling on the brink of treason" as one editor calls it. The lower house of the legislature in that state, whipped by the socialist ideas and the so- ciaist politicians, with LaFollette in the lead, has overwhelmingly passed an act abolishing the national guard forces already organized. It is true of the state and disbanding the the measure has yet to pass the senate, where, it is believed by some, it will be killed, bug even so, the action of the lower house in indie ative of a sentiment in the common wealth not altogether food for our American institutions.
 So good and loyal republican newspaper as the Chicago Tribune, after reviewing the vore on the measure, said: "We assert that this measure is breach of faith, dis loyalty to the Amer.can sisterhood of states and to our common coun- try. The national guard is in American institution; a substantial and fundamental recognition of the sovereignty of the states and the ac- knowledgement of the authority of state government and state laws. The action of the Wisconsin house of representatives is a response of the members of that body to the radicalism of a man who, says the Chicago Tribune, "does not believe in the American system." There is, therefore, concealed in this at tempt of the LaFollettes of Wiscon- sin to enter a wedge in one of the progressive and prosperous states of the unoin for destroying the re- public.
 The national guard is as old as the republic and as honorable as the patriotic spirit that called it into being. Pacifists and socialists may seek to destroy it, but wherever sound American sentiment prevails, it will be sustained and maintained. 1HiS tttdCh lIOlH w loCOilSlA IS OIlly one of the multifarious projects to which the enemies of our institu- tions are seeking to give plausibility under the pretense of lighting off wars and the war spirit" Lots of good, loyal Americans are being deceived by the movement, but there seems to be many, enough, indeed, who have the blood of the fathers still flowing uncontaminated in their veins successfully to resist not alone this, but all the other i'm sidious attacks being made from all sorts of quarters and from innu- merable angles against the order es- tablished by the fathers under the old constitution.
 Now is the time for all patriots to stand to and by the constitution as it was framed with unfaltering fidelity,
