At the home of Mrs. p. A. Rossiter Miss
Ileurange Rossiter and the Misses DON
ahoo gave one of the largest masquerade
balls of the season last evening. 1t was
in celebration of Washingtons birthday
and the patriotism of loyal Americans was
displayed in numerous flags and hatchets,
miniature cherry trees, shields and en-
blems. The decorations were extremely
attractive, their gayety entirely in keep
ing with the bright vivid colors of the
masquerade costumes
Palms and ferns were distributed in the
reception hail. screening the alcove in
which a full orchestra played through
out the hours of the dance. The guests
numbered almost 200, including all of the
young friends of the four hostesses. The

of fiction or history and others dressing
as the picturesque folk of other nations
or as allegorical personages
The hostesses were in fancy dress Miss
Rossiter wore a becoming gypsy costume.
Miss Mamie Donahoo impersonated Min
nehaha,' in clever Indian attire; Miss
Alice Donahoo in gauze and silvery stars
anc creScents, was dressed as Dawn,
ana Miss Katherine Donahoo as a Jap
anese girl was very attractive and ap-
propriately gowned.
The chaperons were Mr.. and Mrs Ros-

Mr.. and Mrs. Ostermeyer, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Doerr, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Harold

FLAG PRESENTATION
AT BARKER SCHOOL

One of the most impressive ceremonies
incident to the celebration of Washing
toms birthday, which all the schools no.
ticed yesterday instead of today, was
the presentation of the new flag at the
Barker school.
Some years ago a private in the G. A.
r ranks in the north left sum of
money to be used for the purchase of
United States flags for the schools of the
United States. One of these flags, upon
application was secured by the Barker
school and Washngton's birthday was
chosen as fitting day for it to be for
mally accepted. A representative of the
G. A. r., DR.. Powell of the Simpson
Methodist church, was invited to make the
presentation talk, and a representative
OF the U. c. V, Mr.. D. r. Dunlap, in
a few well chosen remarks accepted for
tho school, when it was hung high above
the audience assembled in the auditorium
of the Barker school.
The ceremonies occurred during the
final session yesterday with Mr.. T. ..
Young, the principal of this excellent
school, directing the programme The
pupils OF the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades attended the presentation, and the
rcstrum was filled with representative
members of u. c. V and G. A. R. Zach
of these men was invited to say a word
to the children, and in the tributes of
praise given by Union soldiers to Robert
e. Lee, and the warm praise of Abraham
Lincoln by the veterans of the south,
was an eloquent evidence of the forgotten
strife.
The final speaker was Mr.. Henry halr-
sell a man of German birth, who added
his word of loyalty to his adopted flag.
So in the unity of feeling and apprecia-
ton of the country's greatness, the oc-
ca sion was unusually beautiful and i'm
pressive. The programme concluded with
the children's salute to the flag and the
song america

Something About a Great Musician
Ross Crane to Lecture for the
Lyceum-Other Matters
of Social Moment
nv MYRTLE MILES

A musician who heard Leopold Godow-
sky at his first recital in New York, in
November. writes.
THE great audience assembled at Car
negie hall to hear the pianist, was near
" taken off its feet at the marvellous scale
playing. Not since Anton Rubinstein's
visit to America in the seventies has any
thing like this been heard 1t was mag
ic; no one could believe any artist capa-
BILE of such swift and at the same time
accurate passage and scale playing. Such
an exhibition refutes the common notion
that any pianist can become techniciani
yes, a certain amount of technic is possi-
BILE to a player after many, many years,
but when it comes TO playing rapid pas
sases as GodowslSy plays them. one must
associate the feat with some powers high
er than the artist himself.
Godowsky has been creating wonder
everywhere he has played since his return
from Europe. His Chopin interpretations
almost seem as if he was under some hid
den influence while at the piano. 1t is
all so wonderful and so transcendingly
beautiful However, 1t is not all Chopin
with this giant of the keyboard. His
Beethoven playing is prodigious and his
Sehumann performances make the people
think of supernatural feats Yet, when
studied at close range or from the dis
tance Godowsky appears one of the
manifest artists of the day. no affectation,
no effort to please the gallery and not
even any of the show pieces to win the la
dies. Leopold GSdowsky represents piano
art in its fullest and richest aspect, and
TO hear him is a lesson, yes, many les
sons for those who need guidance"

MIR. CRANE
IN LYCEUM COURSE

Tuesday night, February 25, MIR. Ross
Crane will deliver the seventh lecture in
the lyoeum course. Mr.. Crane is cartoon
list, artist, musician, lecturer and poet
and these talents combine to make his
lecture, Looking Human Nature in the
Face" one of the most unique, amusing
and instructing entertainments on the
lyceum platform.
The following summary of his work.
given by one of the critics, shows the
wonderful versatility of the man.
Ross Crane is cartoonist--and made
rational reputation as a newspaper car
toonist
He is an artist, real artist-by nature
and by years of study in the art centers
of the world.
He is q humorist, too-he has a natural
keen sense of humor and coupled with it
the gift of humor-two very different
things.
He can lecture also-and he does-but so
easily and spontaneously that most peo-
pie never realize it.
He is poet. but in appreciation only.
He prefers the poetry of Burns Shakes
feare, Kipling, Tennyson and Longfel-
low TO his own, which fact his audience
always appreciates.
He is one of the few people who have
found their work in life
His first appearance before an audience
creates the impression. first. that he is
a gentleman; second, that he knows his
business. The first never changes and
the second increases as the programme
progresses.
The Atlanta Constitution says of his re-
cent appearance there: THE entertain
ment given by Ross Crane, the cartoonist
and humcrist at the Baptist Tabernacle
last night was one of the best ever heard
in Atlanta. His funny pictures and car

pally operated plants at North Birming-
ham and Highland park. The investga-
tion of these two water supplies controlled
by the commissioners of the city of Bir-
mingham disclosed a situation recognized
by these experts as constituting Sc
rious menace to the health of a large
number of he citizens of Birmingham.
Under Moral Responsibility
'"The officials of the water company,
upon learning these views, believed that
they were under a moral responsibility
to at once acduaint the commissioners
of the city with the character of the
Idlewildf spring supply and the supply
furnished by the citys plant at former
North Birmingham. Regardless of wheth-
er our own water supply is good or bad
which is a question that under the present
plan will be determined in the courts.
and which the water company has no
desire to have prejudged through the
press, if the officers of the water COM
pany, knowing that the city was fur
nishing water from sources of supply
under its control liable at any time to
cause sickness, had failed to acquaint
the constituted authorities of the city
with this fact we believe that we would
have deserved and would have received
from the city commissioners and from
the people of Birmingham the severest
condemnation. We felt that the commits
sioners valued above everything else the
health and welfare of the people of Bir-
mingham; that if they were furnishing
unsafe water to the people of Birming-
ham they were certainly doing II through
ignorance and not through design, and
that they would be only too glad to be
advised of the information which we
had acquired on matter SO vital to the
health Of large number OF citizens

Cahaba River Supply of the Birming
ham WaterwOrks Company

THE waters of the Cahaba rivers are
pumped against a head of 400 feet into
a large settling reseroir on Shades
mountain having capacity of 125,000,-
900 gallons. In order to insure abun-
dance of water during a possible period
of Severe drouth, there has been recent
Inv completed on the east fork of the
lCahaba river a large dam for the pur-
pose of forming an impounding reser-
Iyoir for the storage of water during
the rainy season. There has. however,
been no occasion up to this time to use
the water from this impounding reser-
|voir. After sedimentation in the large
RESERVOIR on Shades mountain for a
period of about 10 days, the water is
taken from the surface thereof ana
conducted by gravity into an adjoining
reservoir, at which time coagulant
such as is used at the North Birming
ham station is applied. Sedimentation
then takes place in this reservoir for Il
period of about two days, whereupon
the water is take from the surface
thereof and conducted by gravity to
filters of the same type as those de-
scribed as in use at the North Birming-
ham station After filtration the water
passes into water tight filtered wa
ter reservoir, and flows thence by grav-
ity to the consumer. Thus it will be
seen that the porification plant in
stalled and in operation for the Ca
haba supply is similar to the purif1ca-
tion system hereinbefore described as
used at the North Birmingham station
of the water company. There has also
