That the much sought after junior

the city school board this morning,
following the recent election held in
Selma in which the court of county
revenue was authorized to impose
a tax of 20 cents on each 500 worth

limits of the city.
The matter of location for the
proposed school has been the topic
of a lively issue for some time, and
the city council at it's next regular
meeting is expected to make some
recommendations. Plans for the con-
struction of the school are already
drawn which call for one of the most
modern school buildings in the en-
tire south to be constructed at an
approximate cost of about $150,000.
Besides the regular class rooms,
the plans call for the installation of
an auditorium with a seating capac-

baseball grounds are also under con-

PROTEST MADE BY MUSCLES
Important Parts Of the Human Body
That Occasionally Cause Trouble
by Going ION Strike"

When the brain calls upon any par
ticular group of muscles to perform
the same action over and over again
they are apt TO show their dissatisfac-
ton by declaring a strike.
A typical case in point is tennis
elbow" from which complaint most
ardent devOtees of the game have suf-
fered at some time or other.
The symptoms vary from mere stiff
ness of the elbow joint to severe
cramp, eliminating in some instances
in temporary inability to use the arm
for any purpose. Sometimes, too,
there is painful swelling Of the fore
arm.
A kindred complaint is tennis Leg
which affects in a. somewhat similar
manner the muscles of the calves and
the knee joints. Another example
where the leg muscles are the victims
is afforded by "riders sprain.' COM
plant to which polo players are found
to be peculiarly liable.
Then, again, there is a complaint
which is called "bowler's SIDE"
brought about through straining the
abdominal muscles.-Cleveland Plain
