What Minnesota needs is more

Of Commissioner Babcock should be
completed with all possible speed.
When. the necessary hard surfaced
highways have been provided and

ducing the present license fees.
The agitation for reduction in
proportion to the increased road
revenues to be derived from a tax
on gasoline is a poor business
proposition.
As the highway department is
now operated there is big loss of
money because of the cost of up

Not only does this condition entail
unavoidable extravaganza and con-

 WILL JOIN BAR
Widely Known Jurist Is Soon To Resume Prac-
 tice In Birmingham

Judge Edgar Allen, one of the most popular judges on the local bench, Thursday rendered his resignation as judge of the first division of municipal court, effective October 1. HeN will immediately resume the practice of law in Birmingham, with offices in the First National Bank building.
 It had been known for weeks that Judge Allen was preparing to resign. He gave formal notice of his intention in letter to Judge G. B. Smith, pre- siding judge of circuit court, and Pro- bate Judge J. P. Stiles. The ten cir cult judges of the county will meet in a short time to name his successor, sev- eral well-known attorneys having al- ready filed their applications.

COUNTY SCHOOLS BADLY CRAMPED.
 DR. BAKER SAYS
Enrolment Figures Ex- ceed Expectations At " All Points

The need of more school buildings and additional units to present schools to accommodate the fast increasing number of students is causing seri- ous situation in the county schools, ac- cording to Dr. N. R. Baker, county superintendent of schools, who con tinued Thursday in compiling the at tendance figures.
 Although the county board had ek- pected increases, many schools jumped far beyond the attendance mark pre- dicted by the board, according to Dr. Baker. Thursday saw 27,OOO students enrolled in the various schools in Jef- ferson county. Many of the large schools have not yet filed reports, and it will be several days before a total enrollment will be known. The enroll ment in 1923 was 32,0O0, and estimates for this year are around 34,OO0. Only about 15O schools out of 215 in the county have reported.
 The following large enrollments have been reported at the county board {: Corner High school, 239; Kimberly, 140; New Castle Junior High, 1S2; Union Hill, 195;. Inglenook, ASA; Tar rant City, 734; Jones Valley, TIP; Leeds, Gil; Lewisburg, 225; Adams vile, 209; Sandusky. PA; Trussville, 236; Bagley High school, 196; New Market, 200; B. NJ. McNeil, 324, and Irondale, 311.
 The remarkable growth of the Tar rant City school was pointed out by Dr. Baker as exemplary of the need for buildings. The Tarrant City school be- gan three years ago with one teacher, when three months late- another teacher was added. At the end of one year there were four teachers, the end of the second year, eight teachers, and at the end of the third year, 12 teachers. This year the school began its year with IA teachers, when with an enrolment of 734 it actually needed 20 teachers, but had insufficient class rooms.
 In spite of the crowded conditions, however, the school year has begun with a zest that points to a successful year, according to Dr. Baker.

TESTS SHOW VALUE
 OF ASBESTOS ROOF
Intense Heat Used In HinkIe
 Bros. Demonstrations

The fire-resisting and protective prop critics of the various kinds of Johns Evansville asbestos roofing were sue cessfully demonstrated at the Hinkle Brothers store. 2431 West First street, Thursday .night. The demonstration was made by representatives of the manufacturers.
 Actual roofing conditions were repro- duced for the tests. in which a blow torch was held against wood and as- bestor shingles. In all the tests the asbestos roofing withheld its shape and form after being subjected to the in tense heat, which was said to be higher than that found in a fire.
 In addition, it was shown that the building materials under the shingles were, at most, slightly scorched. Rep resentatives of the company gave brief talks, describing how Johns Evansville asbestos was mined in Canada as a rock and how the mineral is subjected to various processes before it becomes suitable for roofing purposes.
