ENTERTAINS KAPPA SIGMA

MT. and Mrs. R. J. Hancock enter tained 30 members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity Thursday night at their resi- dence, 1032 Elm street. The affair was a most enjoyable one. The cordial hos pitality of the host and hostess, though rendered informally made the evening one to be long remembered. Refresh ments wre served.
 The fraternity men wAo were pres ent were enthusiastic in their plans for keeping up the interest in the local alumni chapter. There are f5 mem- ters of the Kappa Sigma franternity in the Birmingham district and the alumni chapter is one of the largest in the state.
 After the refreshments were served and plenty of smoking materials had been provided a business session was held, at which W. " M. Robertson, Jr., was elected to succeed Hugh A. Lock as grand master. and R. J. Hancock was elected to succeed Walter Going as grand scribe.
 The delegates to the recent Kappa Sigma conclave held at Baltimore made a report Of their trip and a number of fraternity songs were sung.
 The next meeting of the chapter will be held August 8, at some place to be named later. These informal gatherings of Kappa Sigmas are doing much to keep the fraternity men together and are a source of much pleasure.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CAMP
By HENRY S. CURTIS

and the other half given to play and the
 making of various collections of all the common flowers, leaves and rocks They should become familiar with and learn
 how to feed chickens, pigs, sheep and cows. They should become familiar
 with all the common grains and vege-
 tables and learn how to raise them. All
 of the older boys should be organized
 as scouts. Occasionally there should
 be long walk across the country to
 another camp where games might be played.
 Moreove. every camp should be pro
 vided with a good library, the children's
 books being sent out from the city to
 these camps the beginning of vacation.
 Rainy and hot days and the evenings furnish opportunity for far more gener-
 al reading than is now done by the av-
 craze child. EA
 This camp should be in charge of the regular teachers of the schools as far , as possible thus providing a continuity of influence and the intimacy of ac- quaintance which would otherwise be impossible. These teachers should be extensively assisted by college and nor nal school graduates. By a camp of this kind we should be able to protect
 the children from the manifest danger
 and temptations of the city streets. To
 secure social and moral training through intimate contact with the teachers and the children would mean a necessary acquaintance with nature. This would not necessarily involve very great increase of expense as It would take the place of the vacation schools and playgrounds, of the fresh air and to some extent the international
 and private camps. For the child who Is sent to the country for the summer it would be a positive saving and for the child who ordinarily has to remain in the city it would be saving of life's epergy and a great awakening of it's Interests. It would not necessarily be much more expense than boarding child at home.

COUNTRY CLUB PLANS
 OF HOUSE COMMITTEE

Those who plan to entertain at the Country clubs al fresco luncheons and have deferred doing so, have but one opportunity left this season, as the house committee announces this morning ther plan to discontinue the luncheons through August and September.

 Tn lieu of the luncheons the Tuesday and Thursday afternoon teas so happily inaugurated last summer and so popular throughout the heated period will be re- vived, and on these two days of the week from 5 to 6 there will be little groups of club members and friends enjoying q cooling drink and the view on the ter race. These will be continued from last summer the first week in August.

MANY SAW THE

:, :, :, = :, :, 8 g :, = :, Z,
For tragedy, the extreme of pathos
and the acme of moTbidness this
play would be hard to excel. Its in
tenseness of dramatic action is hard
ly slackened for a moment from
the first curtain until the last. 1t
is powerful story, but 1t is a ter
rible one, and one can hardly get
ever the chilling effect of the hope
lessness and despair of Madame
X"
Adeline Dunlap as Jacqueline, af
terward known as Madame " is an
emotional actress of remarkable tai
ent. 1t is a most difficult, unusual
and trying part, at once repelling
and pathetic, a woman led astray
who descends the ladder of degreda-
ton to its lowest rung and yet whose
sin-seared heart cherishes a great
love, love that gains a short lived
but satisfying reward for the de-
spairing creature in the closing scene
of the morbid story. Miss Dunlaps
work was one of the finest delinea-
tions of dramatic work seen here in
many day. The supporting compa-
ny was very fair, several of the
characters being most admirably pro-
trayed. The scenery was handsome
and elaborate.
The great trial scene in the last
act is certainly a triumph of stage
craft and dramatic effect.
The last scene, wherein the moth
er, whose degraded, hopeless life has
been frightened by but one thing,
her great love for the son from whom
she was torn many, many years be-
fore. realizes that the son, fine
young man, knows her identity and
opens his heart to her, is one of the
most touching and yet one of the
most powerful dramatic situations we
ever saw unfolded on the stage.
The man or woman who witnesses
Madame X" can hardly go away
with a feeling of cheerfulness and
light heartedness. 1t is a play that
inspires neither of these sensations
but nevertheless 1t is great drama
