"Yes," he replied; ''I am in perfect health. l am strong and 1 am happy, and I am S2 years old today This good man is one of those splendid examples of the reward for goodness ard plety His is beautiful old age. He doesn't look old. He doesn't seem to feel old, and no one thinks of him as an old man, so vigorous is he both in mind and in body. Those who wish him "r1any happy returns of the day" are not only the thousands of Birmingham citizens. both in and out of his profession, who have known him during all these years in Birmingham but many who meet him from time to time and are citizens of the new Birmingham.
 One of the prettiest features of the decorative scheme of the Birmingham m Newspaper club is the lovely picture which hangs in the blue room, used as a ladies waiting room and lounge. It was a gift to the club of Miss Carrie Hill be- fore her departure for a summer in the east. It was not originally made for this room, but 1t looks as if it had been painted with the end in view of placing it Just where it is. The blue background with the little house in the distance ard the soft colors of the autumn leaves make IL an ideal picture for the club.

Frail Baby Needs a Buggy

am asking for the baby buggy offered by co-worker for frail mother of three The baby. although it weighs but h pounds, is over I year old 1t has never been well-is so crossl A buggy would be blessing indeed to the little mother. Has anyone some of the old-time eounterpanes to give away, such as our sfandmothers and great-grandmothers wove? l would like one or two for keep- sakes. I have to offer two good white ponnets, button crowns, one for a grown person, the other for child. I will send to anyone parcel post who will write to you Tor my name, then send me stamps for parcel post, MRS. P. A w .,
 wish you had given us better clew to the giver of the buggy than to call her co-worker.' The names of colleagues are legion. We find no buggy registered under that name. So the petition is handed over to our members No need to plead with them in behalf of a delicata baby "frailer' in body than the ''mother Of three It is likely, too, that we will disinter there the old-fashioned counter- pares. If not, there is always the parcel post tor members in distant parts of our territory. The bonnet crowns are ca silly transported by mail
