CAMP LIFE AT
GREENBRIER

To most boys camp life in the summer
is the ideal existence. Sleeping in tent,
living on the bank of a river swimming,
fishing, rowing and shooting rapids in
canoe are in themselves sufficient to in
sure a delightful outing; but add to this
an admirable athletic field with ample fa-
cilities for baseball, tennis, basketball,
track and trap shooting and there ID
nothing left for the lover of outdoor sports
to desire.
TO the parent as well as to the boy the
advantages, physical. mental and moral
of such camp are obvious. Outdoor life,
mountain air pure water and SYSTEM
matte exercise carefully supervised, make
the camp just sue ha place as Is needed
for boys summer vacation
Camp Greenbrier situated high up In the
Allegheny mountains, on the bank of the
crystal clear Greenbrier river, has been
the Mecca for large party Of Birming-
ham boys for the past seven summers.

Topics of the Times

A social worker who has been NOUS
ing around among the students at Cor
nell University, says that the moving
picture shows are an enemy to the
saloons. that students are drinking less
and patronizing the movies more.
Sounds reasonable. Young men want
some place to go of evenings and idle
time and the movies no doubt have
counter attractions to those OF the
saloon. At any rate we have seen that
the saloon is an enemy to the moving
picture show. The man who spends SO
cents for beer doesn't have 1t to take
the family to the pictures. And SLY as
YOU keep it that is true of the butcher
and the baker and the candlestick-
maker.

1t is noted that company which
was manufacturing high priced auto
has retired from the trade, while an
other company that has been putting

been earning enormous dividends.
That again goes to show that the
auto has passed the stage when 1t was
a fad, or costly toy for the wealthy
folk, but has become an everyday
necessity. The common people are In
vesting in autos, and Of course they
buy the cheap car, which to all In
tents. barring the style and the beau
tiful finish, may be as good ma
chine as the very high priced car ~
| is the machine that Is used for all

money for him. There is a point. Bor
