started to deyour its prey. Feathers from the
pigeon were swept in every direction by the
wind as the hawk took mouthful after mouth

SUN SHINES BRIGHT
 AND PARKS CROWDED
Winds Are Tempered After Rigor of March and Many Turn Out to Feel
 First Breath of Spring.

True to the axiom, March. having come in like the gentlest of creatures, per formed the traditional metamorphosis-o perhaps more accurately speaking-did the lightning change. Any way, In its last days such characteristics were in evidence as would have made old Barnum advertise 1t. if he had had 1t caged up as the King of the African Jungles'
 Yesterday, however, was different. Once more the wind was tempered unto the lamb and the spirit of spring was abroad in the land. The air was balmy and hun dreds of people came out into the parks to feel it's drowsy benedotion. Natures spring show was on again. The birds in the trees took their proper places, and, prompted by the newborn spirit, as the curtain went up sang the old time chorus at the top of their voices.
 The crowds remained until the foot lights went out and the performers went to roost. One of the leading ladies Of the sparrow-troupe remarked after the show that there were many new faces in the audience.

HAD TO GO BACK
 TO THE OLD WAY
KEYS TO FIRE ALARM BOXES ARE NO LONGER IN GLASS RECEIPT ARLEs BUT ARE AT NEARBY HOUSES.

On account of the number of false fire alarms turned in recently the keys to the boxes have been removed from the gihss covered receptacles and placed in nkar-by houses.
 Sunday night seems to be the favor ste time for those who like to seek the fire lighting machinery in motion to get in their work, and only few Sunday nights ago three false alarms were turned in within two hours.
 The Sunday night following an alarm came from box some distance from Headquarters. and the department believ- ing that the call was an urgent one, al- most killed a valuable horse getting to the location of the box.
 Notwithstanding the fact that special efforts have been made to discover the persons who have given the department sb much trouble it was impossible to do so as long as the keys remained in the boxes protected only by a glass cover. lAny one could break the glass, turn in an alarm and get away without being seen.

BAPTIST MINISTER
 POINTS TO IDEAL
REV. JAMES D. RAY BREACHES ON TEXT FROM ST. PAUL'S EPIsTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS. URGES RIGHT LIVING.

At the North Highlands Baptist church yesterday the pastor, the Rev. James D.. Ray. preached a sermon in which he set forth what he desired to be the ideal
 The lesson read was the first chapter of St. Paurs Epistle to the Philippians, the text being from the eighth through the eleventh verse:
 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ
 And this I pray. that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ;
 Being filled with the fruits of right eousness which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God"
 The preacher began by saying that the epistle of Paul to the Philippians is diff ferent from that to any other of the churches. in that there is a kind of ten derness and affection that seem to per wade it.
 Somehow I feel that He loved them better than He did the others" he said. But he explained that the apostles feel ings for the Philippians were only diff. ferent phase of the love he felt for all the churches. and that it was owing to the special kindness he had received at their hands and for the unusual faith fitness of it's members.
 He told how Paul prayed for them that their love might abound more and more, and said that if we would bring this de- veopment into our own lives it would help to solve many of the problems that confront us.
 q think most of us have just about enough religion to make us miserable" ]" the speaker said, and continued: We ought to strive more after the experi- mental knowledge of Christi The speak CTS idea was that a fuller and deeper knowledge would bring into our lives the jcvs of religion
 The pastor. after applying the thought to the life of Christ and mpressng the text by further illustrations. concluded by saying;
 My ideal for myself and church is that we may be filled with righteousness right living"

JOKE VICTIMS BUSY
 ALL DAY YESTERDAY
FUN LOVERS TOOK MANY LlsER. TIES WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND TELEPHONES SENT THE THoUeHTLEss WANDERING.

Yesterday was all fools day and thou sands of Birmingham people subjected to the test
 The fun-lovers were up and at work early and many were those whose Sun day mornings maps were disturbed to answer calls to different parts of the city for the purpose of attending to im- portant business matter of unexpected origin and to help friends in distress
 One well known young man was called up about 5:30 and told that his bosom friend had been 8 little indiscreet Satur- day night and was in the city jail and must get out in time to reach home be- fore the members of the family got up and learned that he had been out all night. The young man dressed hurriedly and rushed through the chilly morning air to the jail only to be greeted at the door by chorus of
 April fool"
 Another young man was called to a hospital before breakfast and still another to the Mercy Home. The jokers worked overtime all day and the street cars and telephone exchange did bargain coun- ter business.
 The members of the fire department had some lively fun with one of their number Early yesterday morning one of the boys told Fireman J. W Whaley that some one wanted to speak to him on important business at a central telephone number. The rules of the department do not allow the members to use the office phone for anything except official business and N haley rushed out to find a telephone. He went to several places and found them all closed but finally thought of the city jail and from there got commu- nioation with the number. Shortly he returned to headquarters and with pug zled look said:
 Say, you boys must have gotten the wrong number: called up and it's some- body's home out on South Highlands and I don't know any of them and they say that they do not know me-
 Do you know what day it is?" asked one of the fremen.
 Yes, I know all right, but I want to get this telephone business straight before l discuss anything else said Whaley very seriously.
 April fool" cried chorus of fire men, but instead of acknowledging the joke the victim sat down and eooly said, ''I knew that all the time"
 Whaley stuck to 1t that he knew it was a joke but the members of the fire de- pertinent all seem to be from Missouri.
 The city jail was largely in the minds of the jokers and the telephone was ring ing constantly by those who were trying to have fun with their friends
