DAY NURSERY IS
 VERY SUCCESSFUL
Mothers Are Being Edu- cated Up to Appreciation
 of Its Merits

According to an official report made to the Associated Charities by the ladies committee for the "Preventon or lntah' Mortality" whose activities are pursued in connection with the former organiza- ton. the pure milk depot and day nursery recently established at 1920 Avenue E IS nor, meeting with the most successful re- suits.
 The committee of ladies under the able lead of Mrs. B. F. Roden are greatly pleased and very much encouraged over the prospects of their unique institution for the care of sick infants and children left unattended by their mothers during tbe day while at work. Several babies whose lives were almost dispaired of nave been taken into the nursery and marve- Ions changes have been brought about through the treatment and ministration given them.
 At first there was some difficulty m bavipg the mothers of these little children understand that 1t was not the purPoso ol the ladies in charge of the day n'.rsery to denrive them of their children, but their intention to assist in making their httle ones strong and healthy children. For this purpose the head nurse of the day nursery is being sent daily into the homes of the mothers to instruct them in the nroner are of their children and to invite them to visit the day nursery to see for themselves what is being accomplished.
 As typical of these mothers who have been reluctant to leave their babies in the care of the day nursery one woman who earns her own living appeared at the headouarters of the Associated Charities vesterday and asked for some kind Of assistance or instruction in the care of her little infant, which has been sick and delicate since it's birth. She was told to take 1t to the day nursery and leave II with experienced hands to care for ana restore it's health. She exclaimed against this suggestion and charging that the charitable institution was making an at tempt to rob her of her only little child, broke down and sobbed.

ABOLISH VAUDEVILLE
Two Moving Picture Concerns Will
 Discontinue This Feature

That vaudeville seems to be waning in Birmingham is shown by the fact that the Amuse-U and Pastime theatres, two of Birmingham's motion picture shows, have decided to abolish the vaudeville features and continue putting on their run of moving pictures with the addi- tonal attraction of five-piece orchestra.
 Beginning Monday neither place will present any vaudeville act, but they will run two reels of the latest photo plays. and the effects of the pictures will be heightened by the selections of the or chestra.
 Relative to the change IT. M Newsom, manager of the Amuse-U, said "The photo plays seem to be more pleasing 10 our playgoers than were our offerings In the vaudeville line, and it is only fol- lowing many requests that l have at last decided to run only straight pie lures. A fve-piece orchestra will per form during the running of the picture and this is intended to add to the effects of the subject presented.
 "The chief reason that vaudeville is 10 be abolished can be explained by our difficulty in securing competent actors. As a rule it is true that the best per- formers in order to avoid the hot wealth CT during the summer months always head back toward the cities in the east and along the coasts. While the quality of vaudeville has deterorated, neverthe- less it is true that the quality of photo plays has become greatly bettered until almost perfect pictures are now possible. We are sure that our presentations for the future will meet the approval and the favor of the public
