BIRMINGHAM SCHOOLS
ARE HIT BY MEASLES
About One Fifth Of Lower Grade
Pupils Absent During Endemic

The epidemic of measles which has
prevailed in Birmingham during the
past six weeks has reached its
height and is now on a downward
trend, according to DIR. J. d. bowling.
county and city health officer.
During this period about 20 per
cent of the children in the lower
school grades have been out of school.
At one time practically one-half of
the enrolment of the lower grades
were absent for the duration of one
week, he said.
This epidemic of measles is the first
in Birmingham in three years. Ac
cording to health officers, it has been
less severe than the previous one,
which came during the winter
months. On account of the mildness
of the weather fewer complications
have set mp and the disease has been
brought under control

Unique Writing Tablet
Is Evolved By Teacher
Believe That Much Money Could Be
Savsd By Use OF 1t

SANDERSVILLE, Ga, Aug o.
A saving of many dollars annually vii
be made by the use of a patented writ
ing tablet that is being offered the
schools of the county by Prof Bras
we'll Dean, of the Tennille public
schools. 1t IS estimated that each child
spends SO to Is cents year in the
school room for scratch paper in
working out mathematical problems.
Professor Dean proposes to save this
waste of pulp wood by the introduc-
ton of his writing tablet that is ap-
parently perpetual.
hose who saw the demonstration
Of the tablets here TODAY were astound
ed at its po' sibil;t;es. 1t is composed
of sheet of cardboard on which is
spread a patented parafin substance,
very much like carbon paper. This is
covered with layer of tissue paper
over which is placed a transparent
sheet of celluloid. The writing surface
being celluloid, gives the writer a
smooth base. Thus one NAV use a
steel pencil, graphite pencil, pen, the
thumb nail match or anything that will
make mark. The parafin carbon be-
low the tissue brings forth each mark
made upon the celluloid cover. To er-
ase the writing the cover is raised to
permit air topass between the tissue
paper and the parafin base. The SUR
face is cleaned of marks or writing
in the twinkling of an eye and the
tablet may be used indefinitely. 1t
is immune from heat andl water and
the SIZE of the tablets are the regula-
ton standard size, by 8 inches.
Professor Dean stated that he hopes
to introduce this innovation in all he
schools of the country The cost of it
is small, only few cents for each tab
let. The board of education of Savan-
nah is negotiating for the purchase OF
| 5000 of these tablets to be used in the
schools of that city, thus saving the
city several hundred dollars per term

MUSSOLINI DENIES
LEAGUES RIGHT

as the present, which touches the
honor of Italy.
The pact only speaks of danger of

1t is question merely of the simple
execution of justice.

reason with Mussolini. He is like a
naughty child. When a child is naugh-
