SCHOOLS
 ARE ADVERTISED
Dr. Glenn Runs Second In Race For President
 Of N. B. A.

Birmingham and Alabama schools were widely and favorably advertised at the National Educational association convention held at Washington last week, stated Dr. Charles A. Brown, as- sociate superintendent of Birmingham schools, Monday after his return. Df. Brown in the absence of Dr. c. B. Glenn, superintendent of schools, head ed Alabama's delegation of over 250 teachers to the Washington conference.
 The Birmingham teachers who con- ducted the exhibit of the platoon sys- tenn of schools in use here, were favor ably commented upon, and to them goes much of the credit for the showing of this states representatives there, Dr. Brown said.' He said that Birmingham has a nationwide reputation for the moderness and efficiency of its public schools.
 Dr. Glenn, although not present at the convention, ran second in the race between nine candidates for president of the national body.
 The program of the convention, Dr. Brown added, was one of the most en- joyable of any meeting of the associa- ton. The teachers were addressed by President Coolidge and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catts and others.
 Many of the Alabama delegates are not returning for few weeks as they are continuing their eastern trip with visits to New York and New Eng land.

NORTHEAST AREA
 AGAIN IN DEMAND
Realty Market Passes Comparatively Quiet
 Day Monday

Section to the immediate northeast of the downtown district again held the center of interest in the real estate market Monday. With the exception of one place which went in at around $20,00O, no sales of exceptional size were consumated, but a number of sharp skirmishes between agents gave emphasis to the rising values.
 The biggest transaction of the day was closed by Mark Hodo of the Smith Throckmorton-Schultz Realty company, when property at 2419-21 Third avenue changed hands. This site, bought by N. l.. Anderton three weeks ago, was sold to a holding concern whose ac-

CITY AND COUNTY
 TO DECIDE FATE OF FIRST AVENUE
Expect Showdown At Meeting Called For
 Tuesday Afternoon

Fate of the First avenue improve YAent now rests squarely with the Jet- ferson county board of revenue, ana will be decided at a conference of board members and city commissioners Tues day afternoon at 2 o'clock in the city hall.
 Commission President D. E. McLen- don conferred with D. c. Ball, revenue board president, Monday and com pleted arrangements for the confer ence.
 "There will be showdown at this conference" Mir. McLendon declared. Tt is my belief that it will lead to an immediate beginning of the work"
 The Birmingham Electric company in the interest of harmony and i'm mediate improvement of the thorough fare, dropped its parking fight and agreed to expend an additional $15O,0O0 in paving between it's tracks from Forty ninth street to East Lake.
 Following this, the city authorities completed the task of acquiring right of-way for widening the avenue and adopted an ordinance pledging the city to bear the cost of gutters, sidewalks and curbs.
 Await Bond Action
 The lone obstacle in the way of a quick start of the work is action by the revenue board. Originally, the county agreed to pay for paving the avenue on each side of the car tracks. A fund for this purpose was set aside and T. E. Huey, board member, says 1t still is intact. Recently, however, other commission members have been silent on the matter, causing wide spread fears that some hitch in plans might have developed.
 Repeated efforts by President Me Lendon to arrange a conference have been unavailing. All members of the : county board are now in the city, how ever, and President Ball assured the commission head they would be ready to "go into the matter" Tuesday aft eFnoon.
 If the county says the word, the work can be started without further delay" MT. McLendon said. The city's engineering department, under super vision of City Engineer A. J. Hawkins. has done a splendid job in acquiring the widening right-of-way. This task took several months and scores of oOstdcles hac to be overcome.
 Cost City $2s,OOO
 Finall,. the condemnation board fixed prices for the property which the city had been unable to acquire with out legal proceedings. Some of these prices, we thought, were a little high, but in order to speed up action, the boards report was accepted in toto. Even at that, the city is getting out for about 23,000, although we original. !y figured our outlay would be nearly $5o,O0O. However, it must be remem- bered that First avenue is a part of state highway"
 There were persistent reports Mon- day that at least one member of the county board would raise the question of strained finances" at Tuesdays conference and contend that the county has not the money available to do it's part of the work.
 City officials and East Lake citizens, however, counted strongly on the staunch support of Lacey Edmundson, Jerry Gwin and Thomas E. Huey, and many believed that w. B. Copeland and President Ball also would vote for an immediate start of the construction work.

SHOP MAN WANTS .SN,OOO DAMAGES
 ON FRAUD CHARGE
Chandler And Company Alleged To Have Swim
 dled Rail Employees

A scheme, by. means of which four men, operating under the title ot Chandler and company, are alleged to have been fleecing employees of the Louisville and Nashville Railway com pany's shops at Boyies is charged in a bill of complaint filed Monday in cir cult court by Alexander Perry, who asks SSO,OO0 damages of Chandler and company.
 R. Bruce Robertson, w. W. Craw- ford, J, P. Russell and R. F., Fleming composed the group, according to the bill of complaint, and were engaged m the business of lending money to~em- ployes of the shops under the pretense of doing a grocery business.
 'As a part of such business" the defendant charged, extracted and cork screwed out of said plaintiff and other employees large and exhorbitant and usurious rates of interest and amounts of money" the bill reads, ''by means of certain stoppages (purported assign ments) of said employees wages"
 Robertson, it is charged, was em- ployed as timekeeper with the road, and the stoppages were placed in his hands. Robertson is said to have turn ed over the pay checks of the employees who were being fleeced to an agent of Chandler and company, which would cash" the checks and turn oversa small part of the money after they had de- ducted Q percentage;
 It is also charged that the purported assignments would be withdrawn after the company had received the pay checks without being allowed to reach the railroads main office at Louis vile.
 Perry's complaint is based on mental anguish, money loss and loss of time sustained as a result of garnishment proceedings instituted against him on June 26, 1924, by; Chandler and com pany, for $07, he charges, whereas the original loan made to him by the com pany in 1923 was only $30. Deduc- tions have been made constantly from his pay check since he borrowed the money, he claims.
