 such institutions, and the Daphne school is more than 225 miles from the nearest state normal school; and although one of the fifteen schools
 doing teacher training work in the state, it is contiguous to one-seventh of the whole population of the state; and the only state supported school ranking higher than high school | in all that vast region of south Ala bama.
 Therefore be it resolved by the Baldwin County League of Women Voters in regular Quarteraly meet ing assembled, that we memorialize the governor, the lieutenant gover- nor, the speaker of the house, the committees on education, ways and
 means, finance and taxation, budget of the legislature, the entire per
 sonnel of the legislature, the state budget commission, the state board of education and the state superin- tendent of education to plan for the immediate development of said Daphne State Normal school into d | full Class A normal school with like equipment and equal appro- priations as that of the other four | Class "A" normal schools of Ala
 
 them individually and collectively | our whole hearted and never-ending aid and support.
 Be it further resolved, that we ask the State League of Women Voters, the State Federation of | Womens Clubs, the Alabama Daugh- | ters of the Confederay and all other | like organizations of the state to
 likewise memorialize the legislature , and use their valuable influence in 1 every laudable manner possible to
 bring about favorable action in this I behalf"
 Mrs. Frank Curtis, a member of | the Jefferson county leage, who l spends a great part of her time in Daphne, writes: The Baldwin county
 league is very much interested in
 the above legislation which at pres
 ent is going against the Daphne nor
 nal school Baldwin county Is
 more densely populated on the bay l side where the normal is now To-
 cated. Daphne is accessible at all
 times-the charge of inaccessibility | is nonsense and is raised by. people | who think of the school as high | school. Baldwin county has two l good high schools on the railroad.
 We need the normal as a teachers
 training school and we want it
 raised to Class "A"

WASHINGTON, May 7.-The off dasl naval opea.J.ions. navy depart ment, just releaIsod for publication a list of IFS modern destroyers out of commission and tied up to buoys in San D1ago and Philadelphia, their hulls protected only by red lead, their guns and machinery covered with itaIHlow and canva5, prey to the de- s'trwctiye nroads of rust and deter fcraItion.
 At the recent Panama inter-fleet maneuvers the destroyers still in commission show how woefully out of practice they were.
 Tho arms conference placed no limit on dcstroyers. The IFS ships tied mp are not scrapped. They are idle only because they lack suffi- cienIt men properly to man them. In short, under the arms conference these IFS modern lighting machines, all pu-actically new, are rated as ac- live tonnage in the United States navy.
 The average cost of destroyer is SEAS, ,994.43, the official figures from the paymaster general of the navy show. Getting down to hard figures, $346, 921 ,00S54 is going to ruin in re- commissioned, up-to-th e-nIinute fight ing destroyers allowed us under the arms conference. That is "econ- Omy''
