East Lake Casino.

The summer theatrical season at East Lake will be opened tonight in the East Lake Casino with the Dixie Troubadours as the attraction for the week. There will be performance every night this week with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The Troubadours will pre- sent vaudeville bill that will be new and is sure to prove popular.
 The attraction that will christen the Casino is very popular. There was no show at the Bijou this season better liked than the offering of Wells-Dunne- -Harlan's Dixie Troubadours." Every individual of the twenty members of the organization made hits and indeed the company col lectively scored so well with the people that the announcement that they are to come back will perhaps assure a larger gathering than would be attracted by any other offering.
 There will be an entire change in the idea of entertainment. There will be two musical comedy skits. One of them was arranged by Max Hoffman, and is very musical.
 The other was put together by Ottis Harlan. who has demonstrated the fact IIdl lie hHOWS lHlS DuslHtsS
 Then there will be the eight English girls. who will dance. They entertained before, and there will be new dances. One of these will be the ''Radium Dance" To produce this it will be necessary to extinguish every. light around the the atre during the action of the number. It Is startling and wonderful. Gertie Hoff- man and Etta Pearce will offer something new in popular songs. The Yankee comedy four will also be prominent. They are good character comedians and better vo- calists Lillian LeRoy will do some sing ing and Gilroy and Walz will help out in the fun-making.
 Otto brothers will play the principal comedy parts, and they will sing some parodies.

 MADE BY SECRETARY
Reviews Work of Young Mems
 Christian Association
HAS OVER 800 MEMBERS
New Gymnasium Building Now Under Course of Construction by A. J. krebs 6 Co. Will be Ready for
 Occupancy by octobr i.

J. P. Jackson, genral secretary of the Young Mems Christian association, has submitted his annual report for the year ending May 1.
 The report follows:
 In May. 19O, the board of trustees of the Birmingham Young Mems Christian association purchased the property at No. 526 North Twentieth street, known as the old Webb property" and turned 1t over to the board of directors for the purposes of the association.
 For about two years previous to this time the work of the association had been disbanded on account of having to give up its rented rooms in the old Methodist church building, in order to make room for the Hillman Hotel. and not being able to find suitable rooms elsewhere.
 The board of directors engaged a gen. eral secretary, who entered upon his duties August 1, 1908. At the request of the directors the trustees put the seven room house in thorough repair. and 1t was thrown open for the use of members September g, 1903.
 The following report has to do with what has been done since.

The Rulldinn Fund.

In the early part of 1902 1t was proposed l that a movement be started for a new building for the Birmingham Young Mems l Christian association. MT. R, s. Munger at once made a subscription of S10,0O0, and the enterprise has since grown to be a $l00,O00 proposition. It has of necessity to be taken in three sections.
 l. A splendid lot 9Oxl50 feet has been purchased and paid for, and the work of the association Is being organized and developed as fast as possible with the l facilities at command. l 2. The second step Is to erect a gymna- sium building on the rear of the lot. at a cost of not less than $25,000. It will be two stories with basement and complete in all of It's appointments. The archi- tects are Miller X Martin. The contract was let May 26 to A J. Krebs Co.,, and the building will be completed by Ooto- Der 1.
 g. When the gymnasium building shall have been completed and paid for, a large membership secured, and a much larger work organized and developed. the last step in the enterprise will be to secure at least s6o,0OO for the erection of a fine structure to replace the residence now occupied by the associatior1s on the front end of the foty
 It may take kevsraIs years yet to con- summatc the entire enterprise. It will depend upon the response of the com munity The policy adopted is to go only as far as our money will go, and no far ther. When this entire plan shall have been successfully executed. and then only, the Birmingham Young Mems Christian association will be prepared to do the work it ought to do for our ten thousand young men and boys.
 The progress thus far made may be seen by glance at the treasurer's statement in this connection. For many weeks the directors have been giving Fridays to the pushing of this fund, and 1t Is their intention to keep up the work until the entire amount needed for this first build ing Is secured.

But shoul we stop here in our thought of God--our thought of Him as creator and as human brother and savior?

Papa-Not necessarily. Any man who lives in New York for any'iength of time becomes a New Yorker. no matter where he may have been born. When he travels he registers from New York.

 Papa--It is in the air. The Westerner desplses New York until he has made fortune, and then he comes to New 1ork to spend 1t and after that he is a New Yorker. The southerner who has come to New York to live may say that he was horn in the South. and if he doesn't his tongue will do 1t for him, but he glories In heinz a citizen of New York. The New Englander feels that he has honored New York by coming to 1t and that without him New York would not amount 70 much, but he, too, signs his name Tn the register as from New York.

The Jersey man is not. strictly speaking.
