THE LITTLE FATHER"
 WEARS NEW UNIFORM

St. Petersburg. December 31.-(Special) The tsar occasionally steps down from his imperial throne and becomes the Tit tie father'' of his people Recently he showed in very practical manner his interest in and consideration for his soldiers. The introduction of new and hideous khaki uniform has proved ex tremely unpopular with the Russian rank and file. Many have deserted rather than be compelled to wear it. They complain that it is uncomfortable to wear, diff cult to march in and still more difficult to sleep in What is worse their wives and sweethearts dislike the new tunic and guy the unfortunate wearers.
 When the tsar heard of these complaints he resolved to put them to a practical test. He ordered a common soldiers kit from the ordinary army stock, and wore 1t for twenty-four hours. appear ing thus attired in public, and even sleep ing in the full uniform. He was photo- graphed as a Russian private soldier, one picture showing him carrying his little son, the tsarevitch, on his arm.
 This condescension greatly impressed the soldiers, who are somewhat recon cIled to their new uniform, now that the little father has worn it himself. Still some of the more confirmed grumbers have been heard to whisper among them selves, That's all very well; he doesn't have to wear the blessed things every day.
 The little tsarevitch, who, when quite baby, was appointed hetman of all the Cassocks of the Russian army, has just been photographed in the uniform of his dignified office. and looks very gallant young Cassock

 One of the biggest things in Birming- ham, the talk of boy town. and the bpecial pride of the Northside, is the clean life class at tife First Methodist achurch. It has opened up the pleasant. Happy side of religion for the youngsters and aided greatly in making their sport clean and their lives fruitful
 The class was organized in January two years ago, with F members. The name, suggested by Secretary J. P. Stubbs of the Y. M. c.

WAR STILL
 ON IN GERMANY

London, December 1.-(Special.)- J. The great dispute about the notorious Flora" wax bust at the Berlin mu- scum has long ago come to an end so far as England is concerned. since the best expert opinion in this country is unanimous in acknowledging R. Cookie Lucas authorship of the sup posed Leonardod vinci Not so, how ever, In Germany, where the wordy war is still being engaged with un- diminished bitterness.
 Tn spite of all external and such 'internal' evidence as the historical bed quilt which was found inside the bust, pr. Bode not only refuses to ad- init defeat. but has actually author ized the bust to figure as frontispiece in the new guide through the Kaiser Friedrich museum. with Leonardo de Vincfs name boldly attached to 1t. Naturally this has caused the greatest imaginable indignation among the evergrowing hostile faction who rightly uphold that such methods must needs discredit expert criticism in general.
 The partisans of Lucas, among whom or. Pinkus, who analysed the wax of the Flora" and of another work of Lucas. plays prominent part. are now anxious to force the issue by an appeal to law. R. Cookie Lucas heirs

 Interest in this years basketball at the local association is very great For the benefit of the members and their friends, the Young Mems Christian association has made reduction in the rates For the seniors the tickets are $2, for the la dies and juniors, s1. By this reduction you can be able to see all of the games for a small sum. Mir Cubbon has been spending lot of his time to the sched- ule this season and has succeeded in se- curing fine one.
 Not only in the senior, but in the junior department as well Is the interest in bas- ketball great. In the Junior A class there will be a good team. Such players as Collins, Cozine, White. Long, Holznecht, and Latham will probably make the team.
 In the Junior, B. Hargrave, Summers, Sims, Robinson, Beckwith, Dillon and McDavid are making good. Their coach, MT. Cubbon, is doing all he can to make all three teams, seniors, juniors. and A. & B. successful. The boys are getting good practice in basketball, for they are divided into four teams which play twice a week. -.'ar- 4;ss
 There is a club in the Young Mems Christian association called the Leader cllIb.'' They have special uniforms, blue jerseys, blue pants and white shoes. It Is composed of the best boys in the differ ent departments, not only in the appara- tus work etc., but in good department. The boys in the Leader club are: Cozine Summers. McRobinson, Hargrave, Dillon, Branscomb, Sims, and Wilson. Their duty is to help the directors, see that the other boys have a good time. and when a new fellow comes in to see that he has good time also.

it's representatives this year. Look at the fine new suits which the football team had to play in during the past season. Also consider the classy Jer- seys which the players were presented with at the close. Some fine doings. Keep it up.
 Coach Messer believes that boy should be clothed properly and neatly on the athletic field as well as on the street or in the school. Pretty sound logic.
 The High school won't have a good football teem next year? You must be crazy With the flying Dutchman and nine toher boys from this years team back, Oh no! Only the best ever.
 And now how about the basketball team which the High school has this year? Looks good so far. Some sched- ule for a bunch of kids to play-Geor- gia, Sewanee. Auburn. Mercer, Chatta nooga, Anniston, Metumpka, Southern university and any other team which cares to play.
 The basketball team Is without doubt one of the 'prettiest clothed that has ever appeared in Birmingham. Here's hoping 1t lives up to the expectations and hopes of all the alumni and friends Takes some cold cash to buy those clothes. Moral, come out to the games and pay your mite. Every little helps
 The class basketball series begins at the High school on Tuesday. Sure to be some close games before the season ends Can some team dupn- cate the Juniors trick last year of not losing game? Let's see.
 Just at present the sophomores and seniors look strong. However keep an eye on the freshmen and juniors Here's wishing them luck
 The girls will also start their class series soon and then we are due to see some sure huff" games. May the best one win.
 That certainly was some game with Georgia. And now, who says that the High school hasn't a good team.

Who said that we were not going to have one more big time Monday? Every New Year day it happens, and this year we hope is going to be the biggest dinner of them all. You know it Is the annual newsboys dinner, and all the criers of the extra, the sellers of the night edition, and the kids who sell the morning. Herald, we will be there.
 Since last October we have been enjoy ing the clubs that have been made out of different groups of the boys. Some of the boys have named themselves the Story Tellers,'' and some "The Hikers.' Then there is bunch who call them selves the 'B. O. H." club, and another the 70. T. s. We meet one night in the week and do all sorts of things some times we have regular club meetings and sometimes we go out on different trips.
 Just for fun, few days ago one of our punches went on a possum hunt way out in the woods back of Idlewild We did not bring back any possum on account of having a poor dog, but one of the fellows got snipe, I think.
 We are hoping that soon we will have a new Shuttle Board to make these winter afternoons more enjoyable in the Boys club rooms. With best wishes for all, good cheer for 1911.

 The Intermediate basketball squad started the season with four new men: King. Jones. Major and Barker, in ad- dition to last years players. who were Whatley, Cobbs, O'Byrne, Bowron and Tynes. great deal of interest has been shown by all the boys of the in termediate class, which numbers some- where around 25 men.
 The club has entered two teams in the Junior Basketball league and games are scheduled for every Thursday aft ernoon. These promise great sport for the younger basketball fans of the city. Of course the club boys are con- fident of winning this year and there Is not a man on the team who will not give everything he has to win. New suits have been ordered and when they arrive the team will look pretty classy.
 The manager, Coach Anderson. Is giving most of his time to the boys and he hopes to turn out a winning team.
 The Junior B boys are contesting ev- cry week to beat the band. These events are making those little fellows stay right on their toes. Everything they do, counts in points, and the gold, silver and bronze medals look mighty good Then the winning team is to have banquet and the way those boys work for that feed. is worth seeing After. three months the Tigers look like the winners. but sthe Wild Cats are not letting grass grow.
