JACOBS TALKS OF WORK
Has Never Seen Such interest Shown In Organization By Members as Is Being Thrown Into Mem
 bershIp Campaign.

The Birmingham Athletic club is pre- pairing to spread out and if the efforts of the high officials of the organization are successful the club will bs among the foremost in the country within a years time.
 There is a movement on foot at the present time to add to the features of the club and to add to tho equipment already installed. One Of the important features contemplated Is the installation of a Turkish bath to cost in the neigh club who are also the big men of the town are behind the movement to make the Athletic club greater. solon Jac- obs is the man behind the Turkish bath proposition and he win hardly be happy until he gets It. In speaking of the club and its features MT. Jacobs gayst
 ''I think the first essential to the club is @ Turkish bath and when such fea- ture is installed the club Will have the distinction of being among the first clubs in the country to install this feature. I don't know of any athletic club that at present has this feature although it is possible that some of the larger cities may have them. I am in favor of going ahead and improving the club in the fes- ture line and believe in making the club a really big thing-an organization that can accommodate fully 5000 members.
 T am very much gratined at the in- terest manifested in the club by the men of affairs of the city who have been long time members and I feel that with such men expending efforts for the growth of the club its success In assured
 '"rhs present Athletic club is . hno organization and no one gets value re- ceived from his money moro than the members of the Athletic club. There are club besides the athletic features to say nothing of the shower baths. the swim ming pool and the large reading room and game room. The men who have made the present club what 1t Is are de- serving of great credit I predict that within one years time the Athletic club will have grown to be one of tho largest in tho south from point of membership and from point of attractions offered.
 T believe can hardly remember when tho members were taking 90 much inter- est in the club as at the present time. There is . bowling tournament now in progress and the Birmingham Athletic club rife team is working hard. Every department of the club is attracting the members and 1t appears ss though the'l club is about to begin prosperous era.
 "A rneunhershfn campaign Ia now on to secure club members and from the way things are going 1t appears that many now members are going to be lined up. Fully 80 applications for membership have been filed with the secretary of the club in tho past two days. The stan dard of the club will always be main tained and no one is allowed member ship who hasn't clean record and who is not a thorough gentleman"

THAT REMINDS ME
Pen Picture "Snar the Contempble Creature Who Appreciates None of the Beauty of the World-More
 Evidence of the Power of the Mind
By WALTER HARPER.

is connected with the executive depart ment of one of the largest educational in- stitutions of the state. She describes at length a number of instances in her personal experience where the power of the mind to foresee and foreknow things was startlingly demonstrated.
 One In particular deals with the fatal burning of her grandmother a number of years ago in Birmingham. At the time my correspondent was girl living at East Lake. One night she was restless and worried. She could not sleep. Her grandmother, who lived in Birmingham, was on her mind. As she entered her home on the evening before she almost cried aloud, Poor grandmother! She will never enter here again. She could not shake the idea from her mind.
 She rose early next morning still wor- ried and uneasy about her grandparent. She had slept but little during the night. At an early hour, while looking ex- pectantly down the long avenue that led up to the house she saw a man hurrying toward the house. She ran and hid in a closet. When her mother called through the house for her few mines later she cried out. You needn't tell me, mother. l know. It is grandmother.
 During the night the building In which ner 8TdnupaTenL lVeu was purHeu to tIo ground and the old woman was fatally injured. She died about a week later.
 A few years ago while performing her duties as registrar in the institution where she Is now employed my correspon- dent received a stranger-a young man who declared that he desired to enter the school.
 The school had never had any corre- spondence with this young man. He came as an entire stranger. After few preliminary questions the lady pushed forward a tablet of application blanks and asked the young man to fill 1t out. Write your full name without initials" she said flor instance, if 1t Is William Charles Brown, write it out in full that way"
 The young man was visibly surprised. How did you know that that was my nameT'
 'Ts 1t really?' exclaimed the lady in astonishment, though half realizing that she had been correct.
 Tt shore is," declared the awkward young man, who was fresh from the country, and was pleased that the lady had been able to know his name though he had not mentioned 1t. You read my mind" continued the boy, not realizing that he had admitted tho fact of an ad- vanced philosophy.
