AN ENTHUSIAST
 IS MRS. ULLMAN

An intedesting personality among the women of Birmingham is Mrs. Sidney Un- man. A woman who is prominent in club work and in touch with most of the club women, said not long ago: "Oh, you find clever women. intellectual women, talent ed women every day; but give me the dependable women! When I ask woman to attend a meeting or to prepare a paper or to choose a committed. want to be sure she is going to do it. But l tell you, that sort of woman is the rarest of them all.'
 Mrs. UIlman is that sort" though she is the other things. too. But just lately she has impressed this particular phase Of her character; for in her conduct of vast amount of work in behalf of womans suffrage she has been quite wonderful in her "dependableness." Yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the Equal Suffrage league, Mrs. Solon Jacobs paid her a just compliment when she stated that as general chairman of the State Fair committee Mrs. Ullman had accom- plished 8 vast amount of work which her report would never indicate; that the report which made her achievements seem so easy meant trip after trip. and inter view after interview to obtain what she wanted And her management to secure just the right helpers and just the right concessions is an evidence of extraordi- nary executive ability. But Mrs. UIlman has worked in behalf of this cause with the enthusiasm which will effect almost anything. The same enthusiasm which brings success to her in her charitable enterprises and club work Is making her a distinct success tn the responsible posi- tion she has for tile coming days of the State Fair.

Checking Babies at Church

TOfu IHe INeW OTk IicSSs
 The common criticism that our churches do not keep up with the times seems to be answered definitely by one religious body in the west whose members have put in practice system long since adopted by some progressive department stores, and more recently by some of the moving pie ture theatres in this city. That IS the plan of checking babies to the end that the mothers of the infants may attend church service free from the care of mind- ing their offspring, and also that the con- gregations assembled may not be harassed by the crying of the most youthful of our population.
 In former times local theatres used to print an announcement that "babfes in arms will not be admitted" but the mov- ing picture theatres have bettered this bar to mothers enjoyment by having check ing room, where infants may indulge in the necessary lung exercise. Now the members of the Bible class from the University of Missouri have put this plan into practice in a church in Columbia, that state, by establishing a Sunday morning nursery in the pastors study of the church. Since as many as 15 babies, ranging from months to years old. are taken care of every Sunday by this class of young women, it may be said that the experiment has worked out well and the ecclesiastical calm that must hold sway in that particular church during the time of service is condition every one who is familiar with churchgoing and crying babies in connection herewith can easily understand. The mere phrase of check ing babies may have an intolerant and cruel sound to many folk. But in the light of the success of this Missouri ex- pertinent it's neglectful atmosphere must be considered as only a seeming and not being. Under prq1er conditions we think most mothers would welcome the spread of this idea of what may be styled the church creche.

If the government were to pay the ex- penses of national campaigns, as some have proposed. the proveroial indulgence of Uncle Sam in the matter of appropria- tions might run as high as the cost of keeping up the United States navy.

And delicate pho tographs show that throughout the group there exist vast clouds of faintly shining nebulous matter which not only surround some of the larger stars. but span with faint. straight lines the inconceivably great distances from star to star. Either we are witnessing here the last stages of the formation of cluster of great suns from an original nebula, all of which has not yet been absorbed, or else these suns are ejecting radiant matter. just as mat ter is driven away from our sun to form its corona, but on an inconceivably vaster scale We do not know whether what we see is dissipation of matter or a build ing up of new worlds. But now as at the time of the earliest dawn of history the Pieiades attract us as one of the most wonderful of all the objects in the heavens.

 Venus is steadily moving outward from the suns rays, setting slightly more than one hour after sunset on October 1, which time is increased to l hour and 45 min utes by October 31. On October Il Venus and Mercury will be close together in the sky, the former planet being north of the latter at a distance only one-third as great as the distance across the moon. They may be seen near the ground in the southwest shining out in the sunset glow before the bright stars of the sky be- come visible.

MRS. GEORGE WARD
 GIVES A LUNCHEON

Contrary to her usual custom, which is to invite her guests within her own home, Mrs. George R. Ward gave a little lunch- con yesterday for Mrs. A. T. Henley at the Country club. It was marked by the same cordial hospitalities that distinguish her affairs at home and an enjoyable in- cident in the visit of the former popu- lar Birmingham women.
 Yellow chrysanthemums graced the tables center, and harmonious with the flowers. Japanese place cards marked the places. They bore the names of Mrs. Henley, Mrs. D. M. Tutwiler, Mrs. Rivers Carter. Mrs. George c. Ball, Mrs. Rufus N. Rhodes and Mrs. Robert Jemison.

The Sbootino Stars off October

The observer who witnessed the beauti- full August display of shooting stars may be interested to observe a somewhat fainter shower which will occur from the 18th to the 20th of the present month. This is known as the Geminid shower and is composed of many bluish, very swiftly moving meteors which may best be seen by facing eastward on the evenings in- dicated a short while before midnight The shooting stars will dart outward in all directions from the southwestrn edge of the constellation Gemini, usually leav- ing trail behind them.

records have come down to us It was watched and written of in China 4300 years ago; the earliest sacred books of Egypt tell of the time when the Vernal Equinox was at these stars, and that year was known as the Great Year of the Pleiades. In all the centuries which have passed since this time of the very dawn of history, the steady westward motion of the equinox has now only car ried it to the point V of Figure 1; 1t will not complete the circuit of the heavens until 26,000 years have passed away.
 Numberless legends are associated with this beautiful little group, the peoples of almost all nations connecting them with the affairs of Earth for either good or evil. But of more importance is the mod ern discovery that the stars of the Plei- ades are actually associated together

The evenings of October are alwa Fs noteworthy to those who watch the hea- r. ems, for it is in this month that we l. ways witness the re-entrance of the two beautiful little groups of stars known as the Hyades and the Pleiades into the eastern sky. But this year this part oiy the heavens Is even more interesting than usual, for the planet Saturn In It's slow eastward journey is now passing these groups, and for many months we will see it shining out nearly midway between them. These three most strik- Ing objects form little region of the sky of such beauty that it attracts the attention even of those who are wholly unfamiliar with the heavens above them.

 Jupiter is also steadily sinking in the southwest. The observer will notice that Venus is drawing nearer to Jupiter and that by the end of the month the first planet sets only 10 minutes after the sec ond. They will not reach their point of closest approach, however, until Novem- Der T.
 Saturn throughout the month will be the most conspicuous object In the even- ing sky. Its rings are now well widened out, and for many months 1t will remain in excellent position for observation.
 Uranus Is now in Capricornus, in tho position shown in Figure 1.
 Neptune is at present fin the constella- ton of the Twins. It rises at midnight, and is hence morning star.
 The Total Eclipse of the Sun
 An important total eclipse of the sun will occur on the morning of October 10, the path of the shadow of the moon as 1t sweeps over the turning earth being that shown in Figure 3. When the shadow has reached the eastern part of Brazil the moon will be so near the earth that it will completely hide the sun for l min ute and 50 seconds.
