ALTMAN DEFENDS TRAINING SCHOOL
Declares Purpose Of Col lege' Is Misunder-
 stood

Members of the police department have been misled and misinformed as to the purpose of the proposed police training school" John W. Altman, chairman of the civil service board, de clared Tuesday in explaining why he appeared before the morning and eve ming watches last week and addressed the men.
 Asked when steps to establish the school would be taken, Chairman Alt man answered that the board had no statement to issue at this time. He declined to confirm or deny the city hall rumor that immediate action IS planned.
 "A vast majority of the members of the force are in Sfavor of a training school" Mrs. Altman asserted. They are showing much interest, as they un- derstand now that the proposal was advanced solely in their interest and the public welfare"
 Two previous efforts of the service board to establish the training school were frustrated by the city commits sion, Commissioner William L. Harri- son being the only member to support the boards request for a $7OO appropri- ation. Mir. Altman indicated Tuesday that the board could get the money from other sources at any time.
 Despite the chairman's silence as to the civil service boards plans, the be- lief grew at city hall that the training school would become a reality here within q short time. Schools of this kind are being operated successfully in a number of large cities. according to board members.

Move Not Considered RetrOgreSsive,
 Nesbitt Says
 Officials of the port of Birmingham at a series of conferences Tuesday, discussed the separation of the War rior and Mississippi river barge lines and its possible effect on the districts traffic through the port. Details of these meetings were not divulged but opinions expressed were declared to be favorable to the action.
 Despite some apparent impressions to the contrary" w. D. Nesbitt, persi- dent of the Port of Birmingham com pany, stated, we do not consider the move retrogressive. Since it's organiza- tion, January l, 1919, the port has gone forward and the separation fore shadows improved service on the War riOr.
 Line To Port Certain
 MT. Nesbitt declined to comment on the possibilities of government opera tion of the Ensley Southern railway now in the hands Of the receiver and the lone feeder Of the port, stating that he did not know if such an action was possible.
 "I can say with the highest degree of certainty, however, that there need be no concern regarding a rail line from the district to the port" he said.
 If the Ensley Southern cannot be made to show a profit some other means of transportation will be found"
 Financial condition of the Port of Birmingham company is exceptionally healthy under recent climb in ton nages, MT. Nesbitt said. and by Janu- ary would he free of debt. Indebted ness as Of December 31, last year, totalled slightly over $15,00O and this will be completely wiped out, he de- clared

FUTURE STATUS . OF RAIL LINE
 YET UNCERTAIN
Opposition To Govern ment Control Said To
 Exist In Congress

Congressman George Huddleston of the Ninth Alabama district expressed belief Tuesday night that it would be a clear violation of the Denison act for the government to take over the Ensley Southern railroad and operate it in connection with the inland water way system.
 Ut is my opinion" the congressman declared, that the law would prohi- bit its operation in this manner. l discussed the matter with Gen. T. Q. Ashland, head of the Mississippi and Warrior river services, and found that while he favored the proposition, he had grave duobt as to its legality. The general even went so far at com mittee hearing to mention the leasing of the railroad, but added that he feared a movement in that direction would fail
 Opposition Develops
 Opposition to the proposal is prevelant in congress, and I doubt that federal operation of the Ensley South ern will be authorized. also doubt the accuracy of reports from Washing ton that Secretary John W. Weeks favors the plan. He has always been violently opposed to government owner ship of any kind or character, and has even expressed opposition to operation by the government of the inland water way service. cannot believe that he now is proposing to take over the Ensley Southern railroad"
 Congressman Huddleston also as- serted that, in his estimation, it was q backward step to separate the War riOr and Mississippi river services. He pointed out that in congress he had stood out for the operation of the river service as an entity.
 '"The Mississippi end has been op- erated at a profit and the Warrior end at loss," he said. "I regard the movement with regret"
 Aldridge Not Notified
 A. B. Aldridge, receiver for the Ensley-Southern railway. stated Tues day that he has had no intimation that the government might take over the carrier. No agent has approached me, nor the court so far as I know, on the matter" he declared.
 MT. Aldridge admitted that the gov ernment with the Southern railway were the two largest creditors of the road although he stated he did not know what the figures amounted to. Auditors are now going over books of the company with report expected by August 1.
 Only the necessary service and i'm provements are being maintained by the carrier while the books are being audited, Mir. Aldridge said. When we find out how much we owe, we can make plans for future operation" he stated

 Mot much leather work now, sup pose," said the undersigned. Horses going out of print. Fewer people ride and fewer yet drive. It is too bad. It is grievous to witness the decline of a great industry. remember"
 He did not wait to find out what remembered, thereby cheating himself out of treat. He said that he was perfectly satisfied. If he made fewer saddles and harnesses he got more money for them. He did not need so many workmen, but the workmen were better. Those who remained were the artists in their line, and stuck to leather because they loved it.
 Once you get the smell of leather in your nose," said he, tits like a drug. Hard to quit"
 Between times, he said, he made enough leashes for little fuzzy dogs, and leather dinguses for flappers and handles for canes and one thing and another to keep him as busy as he wanted to be. And he observed that more leather is being produced and sold than ever before in history. The sad dlery trade, he said, hasn't expired. It has merely altered.

 That's all wet that story. New Workers have the best nerves of any people in the world. They stand pa tiently, herded together, under condi- tions that would drive a Kansas City man loco. They wait for hours. They clOt on street corners until the traffic cop mods his head. They then drift across in close packed regiments. They grin at annoyances that would put a Sioux City dweller in a padded room. They do not hear the noises that would Shatter an Atlanta mans nerves in jigtime. They stand in neat lines in front of ticket windows and do not even snarl at the occasional skate who pushes in ahead. Dynamite explodes under their feet and ta@icabs miss lem by inches and they don't worry.
 It's only when they get out in the nice, quiet, clean country that they get nervous.
