contest and have appropriated large
sums of prize money for each state For
Alabama there will be $4,000 In prize
money in all, the capital prize being
$1,000. The remaining $4,000 will be
divided into graduated prizes which
will total a very large number so that

some kind of prize.

name in the race. all that is neces-
sary being to send the child's name
and address to the Birmingham city
commission or direct to Mr.. Lloyd.
