clear now that they will not draw an
arbitrary line at December ], as the
date for its passage.

While the special session Of Congress

transition will make no change in the
status of the currency bill and will
not affect the Senate's work on it.

BIG PYTH|AN EVENT
State Grand Chancellor Pat
terson Writes to Third
District Knights

Members OF the Knights OF Pythias
throughout the state are taking much
interest in the great Pythian initiation
Pages Night that will be held In Bir-
mingham in the near future under the
auspices of the Third Pythian District as
sociation, which comprises Jefferson and
several of the adjoining counties. AT
this initiation oyer 500 candidates Will be
presented and the degrees conferred by
the dramatic degree team of Dayton, o.,
said to be the most proficient degree
team in the world.
As an indication of the generally in
terest that is being taken by the Knights
of Pythias of the state, Grand Chan
cellor A. G. Patterson has written the
following letter, which has been sent to
every knight in the Third district:
ITO the Officers and Members Of Lodges
in Third Pythian District, Grand Domain
of Alabama.
MY Dear BROTHERHOOD are, of course,
familiar with the Pages Night campaign
now in progress in your district. Tt was
launched by your representatives at your
recent convention at Dolomite, and it
mas DeeH Sltdully EloWlI5 anu tNNShO0
ing until it now promises to be the great
est event ever witnessed in the south in
Pythian circles.
II have been intensely interested in the
proposition from it's incipiency, and as
sure you that as your grand chancellor
l am doing everything In my power TO
make it a success in every way.
THE success of the enterprise is now
a certainty. 1t is being backed and pro-
noted by men who are prominent, not
only in Pythian circles but in business
and professional life of the great BIZ
mingham district-men who have aided
in bringing about the wonderful develop
nent along industrial and commercial
lines, and who desire that the progress
of our noble order shall keep pace with
developments along other lines of activity.
while the success of the great move
ment is now assured, it remains for the
individual lodges in the district to de-
termine how much good they will derive
from this campaign This will be exactly
in proportion to the amount Of interest
and activity put forth by each member
and by each lodge 1t is unquestionably
the greatest opportunity that will even
come to you to materially increase your
membership and extend the influence OF
your lodge.
1.-THE grand lodge expects every Pythian
in the great Third district to do his full
duty in this campaign; attend the meet
ings of your lodge regularly; advocate
a liberal contribution by your lodge to
the campaign fund, and then go out and
secure a few applications for the great
ceremonial Let's all pull together broth
ers, and make this movement a success
in every way and of great benefit to
the order we love so well. Fraternally
yours, A. G. PATTERSON,
Grand Chancellor

REDEMPTOR|STS TO

The Rev. Father Carroll and the Rev.
Father Ryan. two Redemptorists from
ST. Louis. will open a mission tomorrow
morning at the Blessed Sacrament church.
West End
! Missionary work is the speciality of the
Redemptorist fathers, whose congrega-
tion was founded by ST. Alphonsas Liguo-
ri. himself distinguished missionary,
and one of-the church's most illustrious
doctors.
The opening sermon will be preached
at the last mass Sunday morning. It's
purpose will be to outline the meaning
and scope of Catholic mission, it's adj
vantages, and the, means of profiting
thereby. This opening sermon will in
augurate series of lectures to continue
the entire week.
| The first weekday mass during the
mission will be at 6 a. m. This early
mass will be followed each morning by
short instruction. Mass and instruction
will be over before o'clock. There will
be a second mass at for the children,
and for those who cannot attend the
early service there will be also an in
struction.
The evening sermons will be on i'm
portant truths of the Catholic faith, and
the morning instructions will be familiar
talks on the principal practices of Catho-
lie devotion.
Both the evening sermons and the
morning instructions said Father Car

and all are equally important for the
earnest Catholic
"Non-Catholics who may wish to hear
an exposition of Catholic faith and prac-
tice are heartily welcome to be present
at these exercises; and such are assured
that nothing of offensive nature will
| be therein expressed Catholic mis-
sion is not revival melting, nor is it an
attack on opposing creeds. 1t is meant
to arouse in Catholic minds and hearts
a more ardent love for their faith and
| practices through more intelligent un-
derstanding of both.
| Special exercises will be conducted
| for the Catholic children during the first
| days of the mission. The opening dis

on Sunday afternoon. probably at $3.50
p. m. There will also be special morn

| I'VE trust that the people of the parish
\ who have so nobly responded in seconding
| the jealous efforts of the good Father
Turner will turn out in large numbers
| for the mission exercises"

Visitors Offered Cots;
No Hotel Beds Available

There are no beds in Birmingham-that
is, parenthetically speaking. And there Is
reason. Birmingham is having the
biggest State Fair in its history, and the
number of visitors in the city probably
surpasses all previous records. That is
the reason there are no beds.
But to the tired, sleepy visitor arriving
in the city at 1870 o'clock at night it is
no welcome news to be told by every
hotel proprietor that every room in his
house is engaged.
