 NEWSPAPER CLUB
L. Sevier, Al c. Garber and J. H. Loveman Members of the New
 Executive Body

At meeting of the board of governors of the Birmingham Newspaper club yes terday it was decided to name special executive committee of well known busi- ness men who are members of the club to make thorough investigation of the clubs affairs to determine whether the highest efficiency in being secured in the clubs management. The new committee is composed of l.. Sevier, Al c. Garber and J. H. Loveman.
 The first meeting of the committee will be held Saturday morning at which time the detailed monthly reports of the club s auditors will be laid before them for analysis.
 They will then take up in detail the various departments of the club for in- vestigation, devoting special attention to the cafe. The clubs cafe on the top floor of the 25-story Jefferson bank build ing, though one of the most attractive spots in the south, and admittedly the greatest single feature of the club, has not been making a satisfactory financial showing and 1t is with the idea of remedy ing this situation that these prominent business men will largely devote their efforts.

The opening of Steeie-Smith Dry Goods company's store on First ave- nue yesterday was highly successful. The mammoth establishment consist ing of five stories and basement was crowded practically all day and the ITS clerks had about all they could do.
 The reopening of this store is re- garded as an event of unusual impor- tance in Birmingham. Their estab- lishment on Second avenue was de- stroyed by fire last December, and the fact that still larger store has now been opened attests the confidence of President A. w. B. Johnson and his as- Socfates in Birmingham.
 At the opening yesterday large salvage stock was placed on sale goods which had been stored in the company's warehouses and were not damaged by the fire. In addition there were thousands of dollars worth of new goods recently purchased by the firms buyers in the east.
 The furniture of the new establish ment is not all in place yet, but won ders have been accomplished during the past 30 days, for 1t was just about 30 days ago that announcement was made of the closing of the lease for the First avenue structure. All of the fix lures were secured in Alabama, and they are a handsome testimonial of Alabama products.

ALABAMA NEGRO < FAIR IS ENDED
Over 100000 Attended and Not a Single Case of Disorder Was
 Reported

The first Alabama negro state fair at the Tidewater park, after a 10 days programme of attractions and exhibits, said to equal any of the kind ever before held, came to close last flight. One feature worthy of mention is that during the whole time in which more than 100000 negroes attended not a single arrest was made, not single drunk was discovered, and not case of disorder was in evidence.
 In the fraternal and secret order drills, Company 15, Knights of Pythias of Ensley, of which E. M. Smith is captain, won the prize. In the auto mobile races, George Roberson. driv- ing an E. M. F. car, won the prize, making the five-mile distance on a quarter-n mile track in minutes. "Col- Mike" owned by B. L. Windham and driven by c. Crittendon, made the one mile pacing distance in 2:35.

FOOTLIGHTS AND SCREEN
By RICHARD F. LUssIER

kHT Pays to Advertise will be at
 the Jefferson this afternoon and
 A tonight The Ad club has in dorsed this farce-comedy, and it now remains for the public to come across and verify the New York verdict of this popular success.
 Guy Bates Post has role in Omar, the Tentmaker," very much on the order of the "Kismet' of Otis Skin ner, which made decided impression at the Jefferson last year. MT. Post will enact the character of Omar Khayyam, the Persian philosopher and bibulous poet, and the former leading man of the New Theatre is said to have the part of his life in "Omar, the Tentmaker,' which comes to the Jefferson tomorrow.
 Damaged Goods the great socio- logical play by E. Brleux, the famous French dramatist. and played on the legitimate stage by Richard Bennett and his associate players for the past two years, returns again to the Strand  today in a picturized form with Rich ard Bennett in the leading role. It must be remembered by the reading public that through a misleading ad- vertisement in an afternoon newspaper some might be deceived and visit an- other theatre to see Damaged Goods" Thus the movie fans of Birmingham are warned that the only real genuine picturization of Damaged Goods" enacted by Richard Bennett and his associate players, under the banner of the American Film company. will ap- pear at the Strand today, and at no other theatre. It is also added that Dr. R. M. Cunningham will lecture on the merits of this picture.

AFINE TREATMENT
 FOR CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE


 Catarrh is such an insidious disease and has become so prevalent during the past few years that it's treatment should be understood by all
 Science has fully proved that Catarrh is a constitutional disease and. therefore. requires a constitutional treatment. Sprays, inhalers. salves and nose douches seldom if ever give lasting benefit and often drive the disease further down the air passages and into the lungs.
 If you have catarrh or catarrhal deaf ness or head-noises. go to your drug gist and get one ounce of Parmint 1Double .strengthl. Take this home and ounces of granulated sugar: stir until dissolved, take one tablespoonful times a day.
 This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises, clogged nos trils should open. breathing become easy md mucus stop dropping into the throat.
 This treatment has slight tonic action which makes 1t especially effec- tive in cases, where the blood has be- tastes pleasant and costs little. Every person who wishes to be free from this destructive disease should give this treatment trial.

can be given the Fox Film company's version of Bizets opera, it is not picture of the same artistic calibre as the LaslSy presentation recently re- leased on the Paramount programme. Still Theda Bara has a very interesting personality and her public in Birming- ham will be interested in seeing her as "Carmen,' which is most interest ing though at disadvantage when compared with the artistry of Farrar. Theda Bara's Carmen will be at the Trianon again today.

 Too bad only the suffragettes will be allowed at the fashion show at the close of the Majestic matinee this afternoon. But such is life, and thus the men will only be allowed to see the real genuine wedding tonight be- tween the performances of Lovers and Lunatics.s The name of the piece is appropriate for the event.
 It is generally known that the pres ent city commission will do nothing towards Sunday moving pictures. Thus it might not be bad idea to canvass the small army of candidates on how they stand on this question. Pledges will be easily given as all candidates are very solicitous of votes. but once elected-pish. with all promises. How ever, the picture men should get busy and help elect only their friends for they are without standing now at the city hall.
