SPEAKERS BUREAU
 IS LIVELY PLACE Demand Heavy from All Parts of State APPOINTMENTS FOR WEEK Many Lawyers Are Finding It Hard To Get Away From Their Work.
 Many Meetings for To-
 morrow.

The speakers bureau of the anti amendment headquarters is busily en- gagged in sending speakers to the places where they are wanted and needed
 The trouble is lack of speakers The lawyers are busy at this time, and com paratively few have their duties so well in hand that they can respond However, as will be seen, pretty good work in this connection is being done. The doctrine against the amendment is being preached on many stump.
 Tonight at Berry, Jere King will face James Trotter in debate The author of the Greater Birmingham bill will speak against the proposed amendment. The meeting is an amendment gathering, but the division of time when asked for was granted.

 At Dothan tonight Emmet O'Neal and Judge s. D. Wealkley enter debate, this being another of the series of arguments agreed upon by thestwo gentlemen Do- than is strongly against the amendment, it is claimed. and it is probable that O'Neal will have the crowd with him.
 At Boaz tonight, Leon McCord and Tom Long speak. A large. crowd will be gath cred, the reports say to hear the two speak against the amendment. At Col ms n L an audience.
 At Montgomery tonight there will be a big rally At this rally the anti-amend- ment forces will organize to defeat the amendment in Montgomery county Con. gressman Hugh Dent will speak and his colleague will be E. P. Thomas, the sen ator from Barbour.

The Evolution of Advertlsinu.

John Armstrong in Leslie's Weekly
 Not long ago there was meeting Of the Associated Advertising Clubs e America held in Louisville, Ky. Thah name sounds rather formidable, gentle reader; but don't stop here Whats com ing is the best part of the story. This association is made up of the big adver- Using men in the United States There are many kinds and degrees. We will sketch two types First there is the ad- vertising manager of the weekly mag azine, the monthly, the daily newspaper. He's the fellow who gets your modern periodical to your reading table for less than it costs to print it and put it to- gether. Then there is the advertising manager of the different business and commercial houses. He is across the counter from the magazine advertising manager. The bargain goes something like this: Says the magazine manager to the business manager, .I'll announce the. news of your soap, or camera, or stove, or soda water, or what not to my read CTS. if you will help pay for the stories and poems and entertaining articles which we wish to send them" Says the business manager to the magazine man agerager 'T'l help pay for your readers poems and storles ana cohstrucuVe aru- cles, if they will buy some of my soap and stoves and cameras and insurance, etc., and help me make living" So those are the kind of men who have been meeting in Louisville to talk over the best ways and means of increasing magazine dividends, so that they may be better able to give you the magazine you want and better able to induce you, gen tie consumer. to appreciate good thing, and do your part in buying their mer- chandise. It's not an, intricate problem, you see Any school boy who has swapped an apple core for the privilege of reading the note that his best girl sent to his red-headed rival at recess time, Is getting near the idea.

YOUNG VIOLINlST WRITES
 THE STORY OF HIS LIFE
BY JASCHA BRON.

CWrftten by Jascha Bron, violinist, in re- sponse to a request for data for press work.)
 1 was born at Kief, Russia, August 20. 1894. where my father had steam fac
 tory for fine carving. By the time was
 years old I could read small pieces Of music My father had a large acquaint-
 ance among the musical people, and when
 I was about we had visit from good
 friend of ours by the name of Heck a professor at the Royal Conservatory, who taught a simpler system for the oboe that he had devised. At that time my father was very much interested In wlno instruments and it came about, very ror- tunately for me, that his friend was often at our house and always blowing. hao a quick ear for tunes, and used to peat time with little stick.
 Professor Heck saw that l was very fond of music and he introduced me to the first concert master of the kief Sym phony orchestra Hugo Vok, the best known scholar of Professor Joachim. He often came to see us and became very fond of me and took me nearly every day to the rehearsals of the orchestra. Ahu so I heard a great deal of good muslc. One day he asked me if l would ike TO learn the violin and l naturally saio yes with delight So he at once began to
 
 had them perfectly. It was happy day for me when Herr Volk went with my father to buy me a violin. AS soon | as I took the violin in my hand l imme- | diately began to try to play all the tunes l had heard from the organs on the street without waiting to learn.
 | After that I studied with Concertmas- | ter Volk for short time. till he left Rus | sia and went to Berlin. Before he left int ad virtuoso, Michel de Sigard. I took from | De Sigard an hour every day, for which my father paid 70 rubels an hour. After | wards my father had me study with one | of the pupils of Herr Sigard. In half year I was able to play little pieces of music, of which I was very proud. | Now there was a large royal conserva- | tory at Kief, but they had rule that no | pupils should be received under 10 years | of age, and was only 6. But l gave my | father no peace until one day he took me | to Professor Kalikowsky (the first violin l teacher of the conservatory, and now a | professor of the Royal Conservatory at | St Petersburg) to play for him. When | the professor received us my father asked | him If he would hear me play. He said:
 What, will hear this little boy play?" And then he began to laugh. because I was so little and wanted to learn so soon. Then I played the scales at his sugges- ton, and I played them so well that he sprang up from his chair and called to his son, who was vioinist to come and hear how remarkably such little lad had played. Afterwards I played some pieces. Then my father told him that I had taken of Professor Sigard, and he said he would like tn teach me. but he would have to 20 fret to the rresidenf of the Conservatory. The president was very good ir.end of Professor naiikowsky
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-10-15

and would naturally do as he wished. He heard me and 1 became a pupil at the Conservatory. I made very good progress there I did not study the violin alone. but the piano, chamber music, theory, harmony, etc. Every day I learned some thing as I went about among the differ ent classes.
 After I had been at the Conservatory for half year my violin teacher ar ranged for me to appear at one of the Conservatory concerts. I played the 7th Concerto of Rade. Before the concert my professor was very nervous and anx- ious as to how I was going to play. He told me not to be afraid, etc. I told him I was not anxious for the people, was only anxious not to make a monkey of myself. The audience was very enthusi- astic and wanted to hear me again.
 When I was not yet years old a great misfortune happened. Our factory burned and we suddenly became utterly impov- erished. But we did not lose courage. My father was well thought of among the leading men of E<ief. and they stood by us After everything was adjusted l went with my father to a very rich man in Kief to ask his service. He said to us:
 "I know he is very good. but my advice to you is to let the music be. It will take great deal of money, and if a man has not money how far can he go?''
 But we were not satisfied to leave it so, and my father sold all we had left and obtained passport to leave Russia. My mother and sister remained in Kief and I went with my father to Prague. When we reached this city we went to Prof Oskar Sevcek, who was very much delighted when he heard me. My father then told him of our unfortunate plight and asked him if he would teach me gratuitously as we were not then in a position to pay money. At this he sud- denly became very cool So my father sold all that we had left, which was a gold watch, and paid Professor Sevcek for five hours, at % kronnen an hour. After I had had the five hours my fla ther asked him if he would teach me further, and he said thar he would, but did not keep his word I would go to his house and he would say "at another hour'' but the other hour never came. And that was the kind of man Pro- lessor Sevcek was.
 We then went to Vienna, to Professor Grun. When he heard me he was de- lighted and gave us letter to violin teacher Osl1ar Stock. one of his best pupils This Stock was also Russian, and at the time we could not speak Ger man. so Professor Grun naturally sent ,s to him. He could not teach me him self as he could not understand word I said When Herr Stock heard me he immediately made contract with us Tor two years, that he was to teach me- l was to board with him, he to furnish ev- ervtbing etc, and my father was to give him 100 kronnen a month (Although ne makes no mention of 1t, the father must have obtained employment in the city). But instead of good fortune this arrange

The speaker then gave some stirring pie lures of the war and described graphical ly the battle of Gettysburg-the high water mark of the rebellion" He said he never liked that word rebellion un- til he was reminded of a story about Washington.

Montgomery, October -fSpecial.) The movement for a development in the literary spirit in the schools of the state by the establishment of a library day in the public schools. No Yember I, has created fine line Of interest in all parts of the common wealth. It is argued that the occasion should be the beginning of a move ment in every school, now without library facilities, toA secure this most valued addition to the equipment of Q well ordered teaching plant
 It is suggested also that if a school has already a plant new interest should be aroused in It's use and in it's enlargement, either by the installa- ton of new and better furniture or by the purchase of a number of new books. It is further suggested school forces call trustees and local boards together for conferences with teach CTS at which the value and import ance of libraries, books and reading should be discussed and plans pro- jected for launching the library move ment. These plans, if possible, should conform to the library day programme. Also a trustee should make an ad- dress, it Is urged.
 "The effort should be planned broadly" says the list of suggestions, "and should include consideration Of the subjects of separate building or
