The whole world at this season is in
terested in outdoor affairs. From Berlin
comes news of some especially attractive
incidents of an athletic nature. The New
York Herald says that society has been
deeply engrossed with outdoor sports this
week, but, unfortunately, there were
strong clashing interests. as by an I'M
lucky coincidence the big September tour
rament of the Red and White Tennis club
at Grunewold and the autumn meeting Of
the Berlin Golf club were proceeding SIM
utaneously.
But in spite of the elimination this ne
cesstated great crowds followed the prog
ress of the two tournaments, and on the
day of the finals, which were played off
in brilliant autumnal sunshine, both golt
links and tennis courts presented scene
of the greatest animation. OF late years
the Anglo-saxon element, to. which the
golf club owes its organization. has been
outclassed by the German.
But Notwithstanding this fact Amer1-
cans were more conspicuous in the tour
nament and captured thc majority of the
rrizes. which were presented by Mrs. A.
M. Thackara to the American winners
DR. George Webster won the scratch

plete and in as perfect condition as IL
will be on the last day. or any of the
intervening days. So many people hold
back, you know thinking that the first
few days are not what the latter part
of the fair will be. We have made a
special point this year for such condi-
lions not to exist. Tomorrow the gates
will be thrown open upon a complete
fair in every department.
How has this been managed?" / asked.
"By placing competent capable people IN
charge of each department" was the an
swer. People who understand their bust
ness-well informed men and women who
are responsible to the management for the
perfection of their departments, and who
are as interested in the work as the di-
rectors. That is the secret of it all, and
it's a secret worth knowing
Among the new features, what will be
most unique?'' ] asked.
"A feature that will interest a great
many people no doubt is the bench
show" said Mr.. Burton. Lovers of fine
dogs will see the first bench show ever
given at a fair here. Already between
200 and 800 dogs have been entered, and
q special building has been set apart
for the dogs Also the list of free amuse-
ments that have been engaged to take
place in front of the grandstand, will be
of the highest order and besides the
many stunts that are usually done. the
First cavalry band. under the able diree-
ton OF Captain Rudolph Berliner, will
not only furnish magnificent programmes
each day, but the 40 members of the band
will also give some fine exhibitions OF
cavalry drills. This is the first time Bir-
bingham has had the opportunity of see
ing regular cavalry band, under United
States regulations Another thing, about
twice as many people are employed this
year in the magnificent fireworks and
about twice much space has been al
lotted for the performance, as hereto
fore. The picture presented by the fire
works will be a reproduction of the life
of our forefathers-a scene of Frontier
Days when a band of Indians will be
shown attacking an undeveloped sto9kade
where the aboriginal inhibitants are de-
Tending themselves against the savages

Would Like Bows Books

Il am the mother of four boys. the
olest II, the baby a little over a year
old. The second eldest has been forbid
den to run and play by the doctor On
account of his heart. A year ago he was
dreadfully scalded playing ball in the
kitchen. In the hunt for the ball he acct
dentally came In contact with the handle
of pot of stew on the fire. He loves
to read and / really cannot afford to buy
him much. We do not live near library.
Suffering and indoor life have turned an
active boy into a serious minded one.
Should you hear of boys books being
offered will you not give my name? The
Corner helps many to get luxuries.
MRS. G.. r. b."
Surely this is 4 case for the junior
members. VIII not some of them select
book that has been read so many times
1t has become an "old story?" Then
write to me for the address of the mother
of the boy who is trying to satisfy her
boys craving for reading.

Later we see the conquering heroes in the
guise of Uncle Sans soldiers, keeping
the Indians at bay, conquering the day,
and presenting a very picturesque scene
true to The life of those days
"Of course the fair could not be dis
cussed without word of praise for Mrs.
John b. Reid" MIR. Burton continued,
land the excellent work she has done
in the womans department. The man.
agernent is very proud of the interest Mrs.
Reid has worked up all over the state in
her department and there are SO many
exhibitors that more space has been
granted to Mrs. Reid for woman's work.
and still she has had to refuse many who
wanted to contribute. This shows how
the women of Alabama have responded
to the spirit that Mrs. Reid has fostered,
and what a keen interest they take in the
fair
"And the educational work?' I asked.
MIR. T. c. Young is in charge of the
educational department" was the reply
land no visitor to the fair should miss
the opportunity to visit this department.
Its completeness shows what is being
done in an educational way, not only by
the schools of Birmingham. but through
out the state, for the education of its
children
"And the races? Somehow a fair isn't
quite 81 fair without racing L suggested
For year horse racing was dispensed
with" said Mr.. Burton. ut was deemed
wise, however, TO inaugurate it again
this year, for really while fair is able
to dispense with any one department, at
the same time the conjunction of all de-
partments. goes toward making UP the
perfect whole and for this reason SPLEEN
did programme has been made up fol-
each day and some fine racing will be
seen at this years fair. Tt is the desire
of the management to give the people OF
Alabama a complete fair and for this rea-
son we have tried to have every de
partment represented in the best form
possible. From an educational standpoint
as well as from the standpoint of gooo
entertainment, | think the general verdic
will be that the fair OF 1918 will be 6
