A hundred years from now when future Birmingham citizens look over some book containing the F greatest events in the history of the city of Birmingham, they will see at first glance the words, April 20 19l2-Tag Day"
 Tag Day is observed annually in Bir- mingham for the benefit of the Boys club and the Childrens Aid society, and this year it comes on April 20, which in turn comes on next Saturday. The Boys club and the Children's Aid society is a clearing house for all child saving effort. It looks after and provides for homeless, delinquent and neglected children. Bnt merely the work of reseuing the waifs is not enough for this big hearted institu- tion for it also finances the juvenile court and the Detention Home of Jefferson county and pays the salaries of four pro- bation officers.
 The institution is mainly dependent on what is received on Tag Day to carry on its work of philanthropy. Only once a year it comes before the public with it's Tag Day to ask for aid. In order that everyone in the city may help the insti- tution, there is. no fixed price for a tag, anything being acceptable from a penny up to a thousand dollars, the thousand. of eourSe Dreferred

MINSTREL SHOW
 FOR THE VETERANS
Home Talent Production Will Be Seen at the Jefferson Theatre
 on April 29

At the Jefferson theatre on the night of April 29 the F'ratres Minstrels will enter tain Birmingham audience. This organ ization is composed of about 25 young business men of the city who, primarily. as lovers of the fine arts, met as a society for their pleasure. It soon became appar- ent that the body possessed musical talent of a high order and in response to re- ,uests their performances at the Parish euse of the Church of the Advent be-
 ne most attractive, drawing at their
 sral performances numbers of appre-
 ve and delighted listeners.
 tterly their rehearsals have been fre- psnt and thorough and they are now pre-
 ed to make what may be properly styled their debut.
 The interesting features of this affair alone should be sufficient to fill the theatre --home talent, a skilled director, splen- didly managed programme and m achieved reputation. But the attractive ness is greatly enhanced when one re- fleets upon the end sought to be attained NDI TOT ptISOIdi Sditi, HUT TUT tue plduuAlS of the audience have these young men prepared themselves for this presentation The object is to thrill again the heart whose pusations are growing feebler and less frequent with the thought of being remembered kindly and though in the grasp of relentless poverty and old age this hand is to bring treasure that will relieve want and bring life's comforts. These old men who wore the gray are not now nor have they ever been solicitors of charity, but recognizing that the epoch of their lives was devoted to re-establish- Ing the rights of man, they rest their cause upon the appreciation of those who are now enjoying the results of their de- termined and unfaltering valor.
 This minstrel will be given for those vet erans who are needy. The hearts of those who are loyal to the old south should open with true enthusiasm and show themselves at this performance given un- der the auspices of the United Confed- crate Veterans Benevolent association.
