night. was simply to show the ladies of Birmingham that were good enough to listen to me, the picture of the new building and the plans that we have in view there. I did not ge into any very lengthy discussion of the proposition. You know the ladies of the state that in- tend to construct the wings to this build ing have been working on the scheme for sometime and are perfectly organ iaed for that work. My visit was sim ply to show what had been done and to indicate what we desired as expeditiously as possible I believe my visit has been well spent and that this new unit will be constructed without delay. The prop osltion of educating the girls at the Uni versity of Alabama is not new but it is growing in popularity and importance every year. This new building scheme is simply an encouragement of that and a means of attaining the greatest eff cieney in that line.
 The outlook is extremely bright at Tuscaloosa and we are making rapid strides in every way"
 Dr. Denny, who came here for the pur- pose of discussing the dormitory with thei ladies at the Country club was dinner guest at the press club last night. He returned home last night.

Thought Is the one and only domain
wherein man can reign supreme. for
while we may not determine what we
shall think, we can govern what We
shall think about. and we have the
power to analyze, to measure, weigh.
Judge and accept or reject any thought
on any subject. Thought is q canni.
bal because thought lives upon thought
and unless constantly given fresh and
substantial food 1t must starve and
become inert.
But to think IL to change; nothing
can preventsthat. and we have noted
that we are constitutionally opposed
to change. Hence most Of us solve
the matter by refusing to think: we
just drop into line and DO the conven'
tional lockstep and go where we're
taken" It IL simple and pleasant to
Sit In the easy chair Of the old order
and let the universe wag along; one
travels much more smoothly II the
head contains only. the ideas others
have developed.
But there il another side to 1t. It ID
a physiological truth that any organ.
denied the right to function. will
atrophy, and an atrophied organ sooner
or later must become the source Of I'll
health. Experts in any department OF
human architecture will verify that
fact. The brain is the organ Of thought.
constructed under pressure OF neces-
sity by a long line of ancestors who
used it in the struggle for existence;
It IL the dominant and fundamental
factor in the creation Of all human
wealth and power and the general
manager and regulator Of our bodies
today. Unused brain capacity causes
trouble and danger to both the indi'
vidual and the community.
We will come into . better state Of
health not 50 much by improving
physical conditions outside - By i'm
proving the physical apparatus and
working of our own mind and bodies
from the inside.
