TALKS ON THRIFT
WHY THRIFTY PEOPLE ARE
HAPPY

Extravaganza becomes contagious and
affects the community, the state and The
nation, tending to produce dissatisfa ction
and discomfort, while on the other hand
economy and thrift promote happiness and
contentment. Governor Charles r. Mil
Ter of Delaware
Thrifty people are happy people, because
their thrift brings them security and
content.
In these opening days of the year. it is
hitting for every citizen to think of thrift
in its broad aspect and remember that
the prosperity of the nation is largely
fourded upon the thrift OF its people.
Thrift produces simple habits. clean
bodies and contented minds. It makes ma
tions great and powerful.
Out of the savings of the thrifty core

Dividends on savings are the immediate
material reward of thrift But there can
be no interest without principal, and the
way to build up a reserve fund is not TO
wait until you can put a lot of money
into the bank, but to save and deposit the
small amounts as you go along

MISS HUMPHREYS
OVATION IN HUNTSVILLE

Miss Media Humphrey, who is to sing
for the Music Study club Thursday night,
is apparently the idol of Huntsville mu-
sic lovers. She sang in that city, her
former home, few days ago to a packed
house, and was the means of giving char
ity to a great number of the needy people
of Huntsville.
Sometime before the holidays Miss Hum
phrey wrote the Elks in Huntsville, to
whom she has sung on former occasions
and who sent to her, a great floral offer
ing of crimson roses on the occasion of
he" premiere in New York, that she would
be happy to give a concert for the charity
benefit they give annually. On the
strength of this they made preparations
for the appearance and sold the house out
at Metropolitan prices. She arrived there
two weeks ago in the afternoon, arranged
for her appearance and that night at din
ner time discovered that her trunk had
been left behind in birmingham, where
she had brought her cousin and chaperon
to New York for treatment at an infirn-
airy. The grand ruler of the Elks insisted
that she sing just as she had Travelled.
and this she did, receiving tremendous
ovation. She made for the Elks, indeed
the largest sum of money they had ever
made before and moving picture men oe-
ing there, films were made as she emerged
fSom the opera house, the huge wagons
of coal and great hampers filled with
Christmas dinner for every really needy
person in the place.
The grand ruler of the Elks then assem-
bled every member of the body within
reach and all agreed to write to an Elk
here to attend the concert, a substantial
evioenee of their appreciation.
A number of people are coming from
other places in the state to hear Miss
Humphrey Thur sday evening at the con-
cert which promises TO be most enjoy
able. Mrs. Robert Newman will be Miss
Humphreys accompanist

WHAT TO EXPECT
OF YOUR LIBRARY
by CARL Fl. MILAN
Director Birmingham PubIic +,

III you are an old citizen and want To
renew your youth by reading abour
the early days of this city. You NAV
naturally expect to find what you want
at the public library. If you happen to
De preparing paper for your club on
social life in Birmingham 20 years
ago, you might logically go to your
public library with the expectation Of
fnding there the facts you need. If
you are teacher of history in the pub-
lie schools and want to make a local
application, or mother who wants
some local Indian stories, the material
you need ought to be at the public
library.
But We may go further than that.
Unless the public library fails in one
OF its duties, there will be no place TO
which the writer of Birmingham his
tory may go 25 years from now, that
will offer half so much of material for
original research as to the Birming-
ham public library. Newspapers, books,
in fact, all printed matter and even i'm
portant manuscripts will have been
carefully preserved.
