Helping Dame
With Auto
BY John Z. Medbury.

- TATISTICS. show that once
a girl gets an automobile It
~ costs her practically nothing
to run it. All she has to to do
h to pick up some fellow and
head for service station.
There are very few men in,town
who aren't good for at least ten
gallons Of gasoline.
After he fills her tank she
drops him and picks VI, another
guy for oil.
Every time her car needs re-
pairing she becomes engaged to a
mechanic.
Then. as soon as the machine
e running all right again she
breaks her engagement.
Once when she. ran up big
garage bill in Chicago she had to
marry the. proprietor to get her
machine out.
Luck was with her. She not
only got her automobile back, but
she got aliIrony besides.
Then she took the Judge out
riding and tried to stick him for
q new set Of tires.
But the Judge was so cheap he
wouldn't even fill the radiator for
her. -
She called him tight.wad ard
e cost her twenty-seven dollars
for contempt Of court.
She told him that II all guys
were like him she wouldn't even
be able to own a pair Of roller
skates.
The upkeep is very small on

FIGURES REVEAL 4S4 nLITERATE Research Director Makes Public School
 Survey

Figures showing illiteracy of chil- dren in Birmingham between school age and 20 years, drawn from the school census taken in July, have been pre- sented to the board of education by W. E. Putnam, director of research. A total of ASA white children and 1928 negroes are in this class.
 Under ten years of age, 439 white children, old enough to attend school, were either illiterate or nearly so, which is a percentage of 1.34 per cent of the total number of white school children, according to the statistics presented.
 The most important class, states MT Putnam, comprises the children who are illiterate between the age of 10 and 20. Forty-five white children are in this class and 2S4 negro children.
 The principals of the various schools in each district will receive informa- tion and addresses so that conditions in each section can be remedied, MT. Putnam says.

HUNDREDS SIGN MAYOR PETITIONS,
 ARMSTRONG SAYS.
New Rule Forces Place 100 Campaigners In
 Field Wednesday

An intensive drive to secure sigma. lures on petitions calling for a referen- dun on the proposed mayor-aldermanic form of government was launched Wednesday, according to statement is- sued at campaign headquarters. < More than 100 men and women are circulating these petitions, and with nearly 5000 names already secured, Hunter Armstrong, register of chan. cery court and chairman of the general campaign committee, believes that fully 10000 voters will have signed by Sat urday evening.
 "These petitions" he said, "are being circulated in every section of the city and everyone will have an opportunity to sign. We want to end this phase oi the campaign this week and then begin a series of meetings in every precinct.
 ''It now seems certain that we will get enough signatures to insure the sue. cess of our proposed ordinance at the polls, provided all the signers cast their ballots. Next week we will file the pc. titions with Probate Judge J. P. Stiles He will check them and, refer them to the city commission. It then will be up to the commission to call an cleo. tion. We will ask that it be set for the first part of October"
 Armstrong said daily conferences were being held by the campaign com. mittee, headed by Frank Dominick, and that the proposed ordinance is 'fast gaining strength in every section" He intimated that several leading women who in the past have advocated a city manager type of government would come out publicly for the modified mayor-aldermanic plan within the next few days.

MURDER IS LAID
 TO2 ARKANSANS
Indicted For Killing Of Louisiana Grocer, And
 Missionary

MONROE, La, Sept. 4.-Howard Roberson. 28, and Luther Hayes, 23 both formerly of Eldorado,t Ark, stood indicted today for the murders near Swartz. of Adolph Epsteine, a grocer killed last March, and p. A. Schumacher a Pentacostal missionary, slain last month. True bills were returned late yesterday by the Ouachita grand jury which had been called into special ses' sion. Roberson was charged with nur- der in each case while Hayes, who was in jail on an assault charge at the time Schumaker was killed, was indicted in connection with the slaying of Epsteine, They entered pleas of not guilty when arraigned last night.
 Of three other men arrested with them, one has been released, while the other two are being held pending de cision as to whether they shall be charged as accomplices or be held at material witnesses. a
 District Attorney David I. Garrett immediately applied to District Judge Fred M. Odom for trial date. Judge Odom declared Roberson and Hayes would be given time to employ coun- sell, but that the trial would be set as soon as possible. .s&
 Epsteine was killed in his store al the intersection of the Bastrop-Swartz highway. It was believed robbery was the motive, inasmuch as a considerable amount of money was missing. Schu. maker, conducting services in a tent near Swartz, and making it his home, was aroused at midnight when shower of stones struck his tent. He went out. side and inquired of several men what they were about. One struck and knock. ed him down, then fired bullet into his body with a large caliber pistol. The arrest of Roberson, Hayes and the other three men were made after authorities had obtained confessions from persons whose identities have not been disclosed.

Mac Donald Throlus Wrench
 Into Coolidge Farley Plan
Administration Could Not Easily Decline Invita-
 ton To Meet In Europe

Many here are frankly of the view that the Geneva diplomats are alter nately tr-ing to get the United States in by filtration and cunning traps. The presence of a large number of pro- league Americans at Geneva now en- courages this view here and makes the administration double wary. Secre- tary of States Hughes refused to send q representative to the committee of the league assembly, which is considering a convention to control traffic in arms, though the subject is one in which America is interested. Hughes promised that this government would be repre- sented if conference is called to con sider such a convention.
 Many complicated maneuvers are ua- der way or forecast. Those here who are studying the rapidly shifting inter- national chess board just now discern two major motives at work abroad. One is a desire to bring the United States into the league. The other-and per- haps this is the basic motive-is to check the rapidly growing international dominance of the United States by seiz- ing the leadership in the framing of in- ternational covenants. A leadership which was lost by Europe during the Washington arms conference.
 Logical Vehi,,.J
 The League of Nations was the logi- cal vehicle for European statesmen to use in such efforts. But the United States keeps out of its reach. Even participation in the leagues world court of justice seems to have been relegated to the indefinite future. Now the re- sourceful diplomats of Europe suggets staging a conference on the home grounds. In view of this governments s expressed desire for further armament limitation, an invitation to join a con- ference in Europe will be difficult to refuse, as Macdonald well knows. But just the same, whoever draws up the invitation and the agenda had better get the confidential approval of Mir. Hughes in advance if he wants the United States to join. Hughes will in. sist upon knowing the rules before he consents to play.

NEW ORLEANS MAN
 KIDNAPED, ROBBED

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4.--John R.
 Lewis was kidnapped on St. Charles avenue early today, placed in an auto
 mobile by his abdtfetors and later thrown out of the car after they had stripped him of $2,5O0 in cash. His case was
 so similar to that of Joseph ("Never Smiley Harrington, shot and killed a
 month ago whenfhe sought to beat off his assailants, that the police expressed the belief they would have had Har- rington's murderers once they appre- hended the assailants of Lewis.
 Lewis, driving to his room shortly before daylight, was forced to the curb on St. Charles avenue by another ma- chine occupied by two men. At the lspoint of a gun he was transferred to the bandit car which sped away. The procedure in Harringtonfs case was identical with that of Lewis except
 Harrington resisted robbery and was shot,

PLIERS READY
 FOR BOSTON HOP
Weather Conditions Point To

lRx Associated Press.l

PIICTOU, N. S., Sept. 4.-Late to- night the indications were that fine flying weather would prevail tomorrow for Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith and the other American round the world fliers if they decide to make a jump from Pictou for Boston. The storm had subsided and the barometer was rapidly rising.
 It was said that under ideal weather conditions the planes could be prepared for hop off by 10 o'clock.
 The United States torpedo boat de- stroyer Soghlan reported tonight that she had the spare rear spreader re- quired for Lieutenant Smiths machine on board and was lying in the lee of Henry Island off Pictou harbor, wait ing for daylight to come in.
 Lieutenant Smith, who commands the round the world fliers, has ordered his men up at 5 o'clock in the morning. This is believed here to indicate the possibility of start for Boston by the planes tomorrow.
