 As Program Progresses

Sale of $3.000,000 school bonds, issue of which < was authorized by popular vote recently. probably will be made as the board of education re- quires money for its various building projects, school officials said Tuesday.
 This plan has been followed by the board in disposing of past bond issues because of belief that it Vas useless to pay interest on money not needed and all indicauons are that the same system will be used for the present issue. H

! JUNE TEMPERATURE LOWER THAN USUAL
Summer Opening Mildly This
 Year, Horton Says

Without the almost continuous rain. fall and with bit of wind Birming- ham would have had pleasant June!
 Sweltering under the present June torpidness, local residents should real ize that June this year is far below the average in summer, heat, E. c. Hor- ton, local weatherman, said Tuesday night in an optimistic announcement regarding the present heat wave.
 The uncomfortable weather is due not so much to the regular summer heat ns it is to an unusually calm atmos- phere," he declared. The heat has been made more oppressiv by many rains that have kept the air full of moisture beyond the usual point of humidity. 2
 Proving his assertion that Birming- ham has had mild June, he said that the average number of days per month when the temperature has been above 90 degrees, in each month since 1911, has been 1513. This June has had only five days when the mercury has topped this mark, Mir. Horton pointed out. According to this statement, June, 1924, has had good start toward mildness.
 For Wednesday the weather will be generally fair and continued warm, he predicted.

INJUNCTIONs SOUGHT
Federal Officers Would Restrain Al
 legcd LluuOr Traffic

Steps are being taken by federal au. thorities to secure injunctions against two Birmingham residences because oi alleged sale of liquor in the houses.
 Notices have been served on R. B and Pauline Montgomery, S04 Nine. teenth street, south, and Mae Odom, 416 Sixteenth street, south, that injunctions restraining them from using their houses for liquor trade will be asked of the federal court.
 These iniunctions will mark the con. tinuance of an active campaign by city and federal authorities against liquor traffic in Birmingham. Working up of cases against the defendants has been done largely by members of the police department.
 Refusal to comply with the injunc- ti4As when issued give federal authori. ties power to offer the building for sale thus assuring compliance.

ALASKA
(From the Mccarthy News.)

THERE IS, perhaps, on this whole Earth no one piece of territory with greater future or greater promise than our little cOrner'-Alaska.
 Up to the present time the wealth taken from the Territory Is mere atom compared with the wealth still lying undeveoped. The enormous nat ural resources of the country are, yet, scarcely tapped and immense store of wealth still lies in its bosom while towering mountains and raging riv- CTS guard jealousy the secret of its existence until intrepid shall come to wrest from them the hoarded treasure.
 In spite of over third of century of search ing through its fasnesses; in spite of the hordes of men who have roamed over it's valleys Alaska re- mains today the ragged, old land of mystery and silence; still hostile to those who steal her boun y and go away; sitll dealing death and destruction to the unwary but nourishing and keeping those who understand her and who live in sympathy with her eternal spaces. She stands today as of old with silent longing, longing for those who will come discover her store of wealth and return it to her again. These will se love and to them unfold her secrets.
 No place on Earth offers the opportunity to youth and manhood to start clean the road to sue

 There are two classes of people working out the destiny of country One is the Pioneers in spirit if not in years who but loves her, who though of it, is giving his best to the try. Then there is the other class-those whose sole purpose is to prey all and sundry under the guise of friendship, and finally, when his l-gotten gains have mounted to satisfying proportions to go away and spend elsewhere the profits and forget his debt to the country.
 When happy medium is struck; when the pre- dominant class consist of men whose vision beyond the end of the is not so hay; who will help instead of exploit their fellowmen then will Alaska cease to be the ''Frozen North and become land of golden prosperity, justifyng the faith of those who love her.

The latter sees at almost every sharp surn notice 70 proceed with caution to blow his horn, and comes to be little impressed by them. He has confidence in his abil- ity to avoid running into another car. But if there is fool in the other car the efforts of the most skillfu driver to escape collision may be fu- tile.
 There would be far fewer automobile mishaps if every driver would bear constantly in mind the feasibility that the' may be fool ahead not only sharp curves, but stretches of straight road it is unwise to hat each car on the high way is in charge of experienced driver who knows the traffic rules and will obey them.

SIMPLE PRAYER BEST.

IN THESE days when it is not uncommon to hear a minister praised because of his ''beautiful pray ers by ''beautiful" being meant ornateness of phraseology it is refreshing and timely that cler gyman has been fit to declare that simple pray ers like that taught by the Founder of Christianity are best.
 Prayers hardly are fit subject for studied ora tory. Those that come from the heart not infre quently are marked by unconscious eloquence. But it is contrary to the spirit of Christianity that one should compose supplicatons to the Almighty with regard rather to what men will think of them tlan to how the Deity will view them. And it is to be feared that it is the effect the congregation rath CT than the effect on Cop which is in the minds of of these elaborate prayers against which are warned. MorcW+r, the IacI nt such prayer, on e-congregaton is likely to be other than what the II mister ntended for the very ecmplexity of the language may diver. the listerens' thoughts from COD to the orat)'.
 Christians have bene counsleed by the Supreme Authority such matters not be pray osentatious- ly as the hypocrites do, "that they may be of men" but to address Cop in the simple earnest way in which child would present plea to his father. And it would seem that that advice was intended to apply to public prayers we'll to those spo- ken in the secrecy of the closet.

Simple Football Rule
 Proves Hard to Define

NEW YORK, Dec 3.-An eastern football coach asks question of the football rules, as now spread on the books. He wants to know just what should be defined as the action known as "roughing the receiver" i" whether the roughing takes place at the terminatio of formal pass or a kick
 The rule governing this infraction as regards the forward pass is brief enough and sufficiently clear, so that there appears to be small chance for misunderstanding; yet when Pennsylvania and Lafayette met at Philadelphia recently, doubt over rulings expressed itself to such an extent that the unusual spectacles of protesting fans was observed. Football always has been reason ably free from abuse of officials generally accepted as part and par eel of baseball. Criticism was voic- ed openly and not at all half-heart- edly on at least two occasions dur ing the game referred to, even though it was brief
 There was no intent to charge officials with discrimination The impression seemed to be that none of them was strict enough in en- forcing the rule in question. It merely was happening that La fayette was more unfortunate than Pennsylvania.
 The first play to call for criti- cism from spectators occurred when Berry, captain and star end of the Lafayette team, shot downfield on a punt by Khikleskie. Thomas, re- ceiving the ball for Pennsylvania, was tackled just as the ball struck

his arms. That was apparent to everyone.
 On three separate occasions it appeared that Lafayette would have successfully completed forward passes, but plunging body knocked a receiver off his feet on each oc- casion. These occurrences were not 70 palpable as the offense against Thomas, but they were open to criti cism in the minds of spectators, who did not fail to voice it. l The rule says:
 not put the ball in play shall, after. l the pass has been made in any manner interfere with an eligible opponent who has crossed the line of scrimmage until the ball has been | touched, except in an actual at tempt to bat or catch the ball him. self"
 An actual attempt" would be hard in some cases to really define, but not in all It simply happened
 that spectators at the Pennsylvania 1 Lafayette game, thought the inter- | ference was illegal. The Pennsylvania-L Lafayette game is cited only as an example, and not because it offered more eases" than any other. Also, it was one objection.

CRITICISM UP TO DATE
harm s wa.

"OF LATE years, " said a distinguished profess sor to his class the other day. litterary criticism has greatly gained in breadth and genality.- There IS much color to the statement. The personalities that marked differences of opinion in the age of Dryden and Pope, and made rival reviewers fierce antagonists of the Hterar yarena we'll as in it, have been, on the whole, conspicuous by their ab- sence in these sedate times. Even the petu- lant flippancy with which Jeffrey assailed Words worth, or the Quarterly Castigated Keats has been more or less relegated to the discard and for long time nothing has appeared in print to equal the agery of the attack made on Montgomery by Macaul- ley.
 The veneer of conventonality is however very thin and not difficult to pierce and there are some temperaments that eternally the ache to pierce it. When literateur of some note wrote few of his works and used the locution, ''You should not allow your to take such liberties - he was, ani he meant to be, deliberately insulting to the reviewer in question:
 Only the other day lady novelist and critic arrived at New York from London to take up her residence in this country. She at once showed the mettle of her posture by firing off certain broad sides at of her fellow-ctizens in the republic of letter. Of of them we'll known for the pro- duction of few whimsical works she said ''So- andSo is the ass who sits in the Cafe Royale' She is apparently found of that short and ugly word for speaking of much discussed book by another writer, she damned it with faint praise by the sertion, "Genius ought to be allowed occasionally to make of itself.'
 It is to be hoped that these effervescences will be toned down by contact with the hard facts of literature it is practiced and of life as it is lived in the United Statees If not, and the samples giv en to be regarded symptomatic of new era in criticism the prospect is startling, not to say terrifying.
