sciences of these noble women
who are conducting and working
Tor the Y. w. c. A."--General
Chairman S. j. Bowie.
mo man is going to ever re-
gret what he has done during
this campaign for this institu-
ton. There is no man who went
into his pocket and gave money
to this cause but what is today
a better and a stronger man;
there is no man who stopped
from his business and gave his
time to soliciting in this cam
paign but what is a stronger
and better man. The man who
worked and the man who paid
are both better citizens, they
have new interest, they feel
a part ownership in the Y. w.
c. A. and the whole thing will
make us a more united and a
better city."-James Bowron,
one of the first and most liberal
friends and supporters of the
Birmingham Y. w. E. a.
After 10 years of a long pull
and a hard pull, this is the
brightest day in the life of the
Birmingham Y. w. c. A. and in
