City Meeting Board Approves

After annroving the Z n

After approving the > mills tax rate submitted by the board of finance and taxation, and passing a sewer bond resolution to correct an error in the resolution passed October ?, the city meeting board last night voted to authorize the City hall com mission to sell property on Talcott street to Marie Cianci for S7.500, al- though this matter was not in the call for the meeting and ex- x-Mayor Or son F. Curtis had offered objection on that ground.
 The estimates of income and eX- penditure went through without q word of debate. Chairman Edward r. Hall of the finance board who intro duced the resolution for their adop- tion said he would explain any one CT all the items included and those eliminated should membersl of the board desire information. None was sought and the resolution was carried.
 Chairman Hall then explained the need for a resolution to correct the previous bond issue. Sewer bonds to the amount of sl50,0o0 were voted last October. but the resolution in specifying payments and time of ma turity made provision for the repay ment of s200.00O. Last nights rcso- lution,i which was passed, put the fig ure at its proper place.
 Alderman William H. Judd brought in the resolution to authorize tho sale of Talcott street property by the City hall commission to Marie Cianci. He moved It's adoption. EX-Mayor Curtis asked if this was in the call for the meeting. Informed that it

Lansing, Mich, March G.-Officials Of the Michigan State Normal school at Ypsilanti, who expelled Miss Alice Tanton for alleked smoking of ci- garettes in the spring of 1922. were upheld by the state supreme court in d decision handed down last yester- day. Miss Tanton is now working as a stenographer in Detroit,
 Miss Tanton was not permitted to return to the school because of ci- garette smoking, and took her case to the courts in an effort to compel the authorities to admit her. The su- preme court not only refused to order her return to school but praised Ypsilanti officials for maintaining cer- tain ideals for the young women who will be the teachers of the state, and declared that instead of condemning Mrs. Bessie Leach Priddy, dean of women, "she should be commended for upholding some of the old-fash-

 Secretary William G. Dunn of the City hall commission explained details of the sale and described the lot. He told the meeting that the prospective purchaser wants to build at once, hence the wish for immediate action.
 Mr. Curtis questioned whether the city meeting board would be within its powers acting on matter not in- cluded in the call.

 Mrs. Priddy again came before the public eye ten days ago at the Uni versity of Missouri. where she now is when she caused the dismissal of II students, four of them girls, on charges of drinking liquor.
 The Tanton case attracted state wide attention. The young woman contended cigarette stubs found in the wastebasket in her room had ben used to char the edges of posters on the walls of her room. The brief filed by Miss Tanton's attorney also con- tended that there was no rule against cigarette smoking at the school and that the authorities were seeking to make a requirement. for girls which they did not make for boys.

MERCHANTS RENEW
 'PAY-UP' CAMPAIGN
Will Repeat Appeals Through
 Newspaper Advertising

The "Pay-Up" campaign of newspa- per advertising has been conducted oy the credit men and retail interests or Birmingham will be renewed after No yember 1, according to plans announced Saturday by the directors of the Asso- ciated Retail Credit men of Birming- ham.
 The retail credit men, in association with the Birmingham Credit Mems as sociation (wholesale) and the Mer- chants Credit association, has been presenting series of advertisements, the purpose of which has been to em- phasize to the buying public the value of a good credit record, which may be secured only by the prompt payment of debts.
 Direct results of the campaign have been evident in the improvement in col lections noted by retail stores, and there is a far-reaching indirect benefit, credit men believe, that will continue to be felt long afterward. The committee in charge of the campaign is composed Of Herbert J. Baum, chairman; Paul C. Vaughan and Joseph A. Griffin.
 '.The trouble we find is that the av- craze person does not have a proper conception of the true meaning of credit" said W. V. Thammell, manager of the Merchants Credit association, in discussing the campaign. People do not realize that virtually all business is done on credit-that the merchant who lets them have goods on credit has a great many much weightier credit problems to grapple with, himself. If his customers credit isn't good, then b;s oradit isn't 0OOd and the chain of effects goes back to the manufac- turer, the interests financing the man. ufacturer, the employees who make the goods, and, finally, business in gem eral. Thus we are all affected when many individuals with small accounts neglect their credit obligations.
 "People do not realize, either, how the little things, the small debts that should be paid promptly, instead of being allowed to drag, can afefct per sons general credit. Our purpose has been one of education-tO teach the public the true meaning of credit"

Dolph Dreyspring Never Had A LessOn-Wants
 To Succeed

The dream of a lifetime of Dolph Dreyspring, youthful labOrer Of Pow dsrly, will be realized when he untoids his Age-Herald this Sunday morning.
 Dreyspring is 20 years old, and for almost that long he has envisioned the day when one of his drawings might be spread before the pubic gaze. For years he plugged away stubbornly, without professional tutorage, waving aside obstacles and disappointments ana working hard during his spare moments.
 Dreysprirg earns a living by putting new roofs on houses. At night he fol- lows in the footsteps of his mother, who was an artist. Fifty of her ou paintings, now in his possession, served as his inspiration. Valuable sugges- tions came to him from time to tune from his brother, draftsman for Blr- mingham corporation.
 Today The Age-Herald presents Drey- springs latest bit of work. It speaks for itself, and showes what self-made fellow can do when he sets himself steadfastly to the task.
 "I want to be an artist" the youth SAYS, and I feel encouraged when peo- ple interested in art tell me that my work is good
 A number of critics have placed the stamp of approval on The Autumn Question" which is reproduced here. They say it is remarkable drawing, particularly in view of the fact that young Dreyspring never had an art les con
