MAY 20 DAY SET APART

Or Friday, May 20. big things will be stirring at East Lake. The public of Greater Birmingham is warned to pre- pare for gala event. and turn out with hearts and purses generously open. On the day specified a great barbecue will be served at the popular pleasure resort, all amusements will be in full swing and In the evening a big dance will crown a day of pleasure.
 Such was the decision arrived at yes- terday morning when members of the Federation of Women's Clubs assembled at Cable hall for the avowed purpose of accomplishing something for the Birming- ham Public library An enthusiastic meeting was held, Mrs. E. H. Cabaniss, president of the federation, acting in the capacity of chairman.
 The result of the meeting was the se- lection of Friday May 20. as Library Day. when every effort will be put forth to amass a small fortune to be added to the fund for the maintenance of that long suffering institution. Through the kindness of R. D. Burnett and his asso- ciates at the head of the East Lake Amusement company, the park has been secured for that day to be used for all it is worth. Every cent realized from the operation of practically all amuse- ments will be donated to the fund for the library, and with a crowd of the size of that which usually turns out for & days enjoyment at the lake the receipts in cold cash should be most substantial In addition to this. the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company, through he lr or i+e IT has consented to the donation of per centage of the street car fares collected on the East Lake line on that day
