Social Life in a Charming Communi- ty-Birmingham People Return From Abroad-COmment
 on Engagements
By MYRTLE MILES

In the anniversary edition of the Tusca- loosa News, a description of the social life of the community was especially timely. Birmingham is always in close touch with the university because of its students past and present. There are to be an es- pecially large number of it's young men this season enrolled there this month, some of whom are following in the paths of their fathers, who were students of the law or are following other professions after their training in the institution. The article states that 'the university has all ways been a factor in the social life of the town. The members of the faculties and their families take leading part in all of the social, literary, musical and re- ligious influences of Tuscaloosa. The uni versity club and the Barnard club are two charming organizations which the uni versity professors enjoy.
 AS the university brings students from all sections of the state. students whose fathers and granfathers were educated here, they are welcomed into the homes of the faculties and received by the citi- zens of the town. And since women have oeeh auhii,teu into the university there are a number of the brightest girls in the state who come to the institution and con- tribute to it's social life, and also to the society of the young people in Tuscaloosa.
 Tn the past Tuscaloosa has had many famous social leaders who were known far and wide throughout the south. and the present time is still distinguished by many charming women and talented men who claim Tuscaloosa as their home"

GAME WARDENS ARE
 SCARCE IN GEORGIA
To Small Remuneration for Services Is Attributed Difficulty in Se-
 curing County Wardens

Atlanta, September 11.-(SpeciaL)- State Game Warden Jesse Mercer of Fitzgerald is finding considerable serve under the new law. He com plains that the hunters generally do not appear to be taking the interest in the new game law that was expected of them.
 He made efforts to secure a conven- tion of sportsmen in Atlanta shortly after he went into office, but not re- ceiving much encouragement, it Is un- derstood he has abandoned, that idea, and has turned to the proposition just announced of getting the clerks of the superior courts to act as county game wardens, until suitable and proper per sons to fill these positions can be se- cured
 Just what causes this lack of inter- est it Is difficult to understand, inas- much as the sportsmen generally over the state have been actively at work for the last five or six years to secure the passage of an adequate game law. Now that they have got it, 1t seems that few of them are inclined to afford any dSSlSldiCt III tdi J HIS ib oht.
 It is possible that the doubtful source of funds to meet the expenses incurred under the measure may have something to do with 1t. The expenses of the game warden's office are to be met from the sale of hunters licenses at s1 for each county, or s3 for the entire state and from fines and for feitures imposed as penalties upon those who violate the law. Out of receipts from these sources the game warden is to receive an annual salary of $20Q0 and his travelling expenses, and what is left goes to the county wardens for their services.
 Whether this situation has had any thing to do with the game warden's inability to secure satisfactory county wardens, is not stated. He had hoped to secure them among the huntsmen themselves, as it was naturally pre- stunned they would have greatest in- terest in the enforcement of the law, but up to date it is said they have given small response.

 Somehow that line suggests that In her earlier experiences Mrs. Hoffmann has not fared any too well at the hands of some ungalant swain.
 But dauntless. unafraid, loving, trust ing, giggling and 80, Mrs. Hoffmann of Chicago is still remarkable woman.
 However, since love is the sweetest of all sweet things in life, why should she surrender all interest in it merely because she happens to be in the seer and yellow leaf?
 Doesn't this instance alone plead for the reversal of an old saying: Instead of woman being 'as old as she looks,' she is really as young as the love letters she writes, if you please.
