ACRE EACH GIVEN
 TO HELP SCHOOL
Lawrence County School Pa irons Do Something Unusual

MOULToN, Ala, Nov. 10.-An un- usual form of cooperation is being car ried on by school patrons of Chalybeate school district in Lawrence county.
 For several years the trustees have been making efforts to build up their school from one to four teachers. The district tax amounts to but little and has made it difficult to, extend the term beyond the five months afforded by county funds.
 This year nine men pledged them selves to grow an acre of cotton each for. the benefit of the school and to as- sist in the cultivation of common patch which in itself, will yield one and a half bales.
 The nine acres will average one-half bale each, it is said. The entire lot of cotton will be sold, and after de- ducting the cost of ginning, the amount derived from the sales of the staple will be placed to the credit of the school which will have it's term extended at least two months.

 District after district in levying taxes for building and equiping school houses. In most instances the income from tax levies is being pledged for many years in advance of construction of buildings. In most instances, also this pledging of future income leaves districts with revenues very adequate to meet necessary operating expenses As a consequence, many districts are unable to maintain schools of standard grade, especially junior and senior high schools. This condition will continue as long as Alabama's per capita ex- penditures for educational purposes are only one-third of the national average the Journal concludes.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 1O.-- The shrotage of teachers in Alabama has passed says the Alabama School Journal just issued in quoting the state department of education. For the first time since the World war the supply of instructors has at last become ade- quate, says the Journal.
 "This does not mean. however, that the supply of adequate trained teach CTS meets the demands for such teach CTS, continued the publication. Tt simply means that teachers and posi- tions are about equal numerically.
 The deplorable fact remains that many of our schools are still taught by persons whose academic and profes- sionM training is not sufficient to guar antee the type of instruction our chill dren are entitled to.

2 DIE IN CRASH
 OF SUB CHASER
 INTO LAUNCH
Accident Occurs As Navy
 Vessel Is On Way \ To Birmingport

MOBILE, Ala, Nov. 10.-(Special Leased Wire. "A party of Mobllians, including relatives of Noble A. Patter- son and friends of Gardiner B. Hatha- way, two Mobile men, drowned in the Tombigbee river near Mcintosh late last night when a launch in which they were riding was struck and cut in two by subchaser SC-154 left the city today for the scene of the accident to make an effort to recover the bodies of the two men.
 Two launches with Frank Nelson, a diver, and equipment for dragging the bed of the river left the city early this afternoon carrying a. number of Mob1l- ians. Others went in automobiles. Ev- cry effort will be made all night to recover the bodies of the two Mobile men, it was stated. The river is said to be approximately 60 feet deep where the tragedy occurred.
 Aboard the launch which was cut down were Hathaway, Patterson, Dr. Matt Boykin, Charles W. Boykin, Mir. Moorer, owner and pilot of the launch, and w. A. Roberts, all of Mobile. All escaped by swimming to the bank with the exception of Hathaway and Patter- son, and it is believed they met their death by drowning, as they were not seen after the smash.
 On Hunting Trip
 The party left Mobile Saturday aft ernoon and drove in automobiles to Me Intosh, Ala, north of Mobile, where the Boykin family resides. They spent the night there and early Sunday boarded a small launch and spent the day Sun day hunting in that vicinity. They were en route back to Mcintosh to return to Mobile when the accident happened which cost the lives of the two men. According to W. A. Roberts, who is here this morning recovering from the shock, the crash came without warn ing. The small launch they occupied was en route back to Mcintosh when they heard the roar from the engine of another motor boat. Soon the boat loomed into sight, and, according to Mir. Roberts, it was making perhaps 10 or IS miles an hour. The launch they oc- cupied was without lights, Mir. Roberts stated, and those aboard the snbchaser evidently did not see their craft. When those in the hunting party realized that a crash was certain, they all jumped into the river.
 Swim TO Sh0ro
 MT. Roberts and Dr. Matt Boykin started swimming for the shore and reached it in safety. The subchaser picked up Charles Boykin and then a search was started for Hathaway and Patterson. However, they could not be found and it is believed certain that they drowned. Some expressed the opin- ion that Hathaway was perhaps injured I l.. e good swimmer and it is believed he could have reached the shore if he had not been hurt. Patterson could not swim very well and it is thought he went down.
 The subchaser at the time of the ac- cident was en route to Birmingport after a long delay caused by a break down and severe weather off Key West. The chaser passed into Mobile river late Sunday and moved up the river en route to her destination.
