WILL TRY SPECIAL
 M0V|ESFOR BOYS
Ladies Hope to Secure Pres entation of Some Specially
 Adapted Films Here

In an effort to solve the problem of how best to preserve the innocence or the boys, plan, supported by club wom- en of Birmingham, has been adopted which will ultimately, it is believed, ele- vate the standard of local picture shows.
 The ladies are hopeful that in the fu- ture the theatres will produce screens telling the stories which are dear to the hearts of all boys-rather than those lufld with suggestion, or stagnant with prob lem.
 One of the local moving picture thea tres according to an announcement last night, will put the proposed innovation into effect Saturday between the hours of 10 and o'clock Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp will be the subject, and the ladies have promised to see that the boys attend. It is hoped that other theatres will follow suit. It seems to be certain that they will if the innova- tion proves financial success.
 Similar movements are on foot at pres- ent in Atlanta and Louisville Locally it was first considered favorably by the Birmingham Association of College Wom- en, which association was later joined by the Council of Women's Clubs. Ac- lively in charge Of the movement are Mrs. Frank B. Clark, Mrs. A. J. Ald- rich. Mrs. l.. J. Haley, Mrs. Frank Nab ors, and Miss Jamie Robertson.

DIR. SAMUEL ULIsMAN w RI T ES A POEM
 ON THE GREAT WAR

Many friends and admirers of Dr. sam uel Ullman will be pleased to know that, although he Is 76 years young, he still delights in all the fine arts and has not passed the age of writing poetry. Ever mindful of the big world struggle his sympathetic heart has dictated these fine verses:
 A QUERY From printed page and living stage, From dell and hill in voices shrill, From bloody rage where battles wage, The words still hold, thou shalt not
 kill.'
 From senseless wars by bloody Mars From doleful means and sichening
 groans,
 From painful sears and weeping stars, The cry of want appeals to stones. From ruins of art with pungent smart, From reckless waste and brutish haste, From soulless mart and mourning heart, The call for love is met by hate. What of the phase of coming days? Will its path of needs be strewn with
 weeds?
 Will want disgrace the coming race With cry unheard when justice pleads? ?

Judge Hoyt tells of the work done the children's court as an aid to the work of probation by volunteers organ ization known as the big brothers movement"
 Judge Franklin Chase Hoyt is the pre- siding judge of the children's court of New York city and also president of the Big Brothers.
 There are two classes of children with whom the court has to deal',' he said, as he sat at his great desk in his pri- vate office in the Children's Court build ing. They are the neglected child and the delinquent child, the child that has been offended against, and the child that has offended. The courses of procedure differ radically in the two cases
 'All delinquency cases. if they are of a serious nature and seem to warrant su- pervision by the court, are put on' proba- ton. Such children never are handed over to the Big Brothers or to any other volunteer organization. Such is not the practice of the court, We have our own probation officers, adequately trained and equipped for their work and it is to their care that the delinquent children are committed.
 Although 1 am president ot the Ble Brothers, I don't turn the delinquent chi!- dren directly over to the Big Brothers. put them in the care of the probation officers But if the case is not serious enough to warrant putting it on proba- tion, then the Big Brothers and similar volunteer organizations are decidedly use full
 Tn such cases of delinquency as l have mentioned, in which it is necessary for the court to put the child on probation the great value of the Big Brothers is that they stand ready to cooperate with the probation officers. The Big Brothers offer the children facilities that are. of course, beyond the reach of the probation officers, among them being employment and change of environment. Personally, 1 do not see how the work of the proba tion officers and that of the Big Brothers could ever clash and interfere with each other.
 ou see, the court is able to keep the child under strict supervision only for a comparatively short period of time As' a rule the period of probation runs from six months to a year. There is every reason why the help and the interest of the Big Brothers should be continued in- definitely As a matter of fact, to con tinue that help and interest for longer time than is possible to the probation off, cers is the chief aim of the Big Brothers
 'The aim of the Big Brothers is to continue their interest in case as long as may be necessary. This care may and often does continue for many years

Some of the prominent officers of the Salvation army are visiting Birmingham this week. Tomorrow evening, Col. John Dean the national spiritual special of this organization, will fire the first shot in the siX-day revival campaign to be opened in Birmingham by the Salvation army. Colonel Dean comes to this city from Chattanooga, where he has been conducting special meetings. Col Richard F. Holz, the provincial officer of the Sal vation army, Atlantic coast province, will also be here from Columbus. Ga, where he has been inspecting the work
 Colonel Dean was raised in Australia Converted in the backwoods, educated by arduous study amid scenes of toll and adversely he became a Methodist minis ter. Later becoming a Salvationist. he has filled with great credit many impor- tant positions in that country England and America. He is regarded as a man of exceptional platform ability, and YOU will hear him with pleasure and profit. His subject for tomorrow will be -Four Important Things
 In addition to Colonel and Mrs. Holz and Colonel Dean, about 40 Salvation army officers will be in Birmingham and will participate in the services at 5h North Twentieth street. nightly at o'clock

BIG BROTHERING BOYS
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY NJ. ULLMAN

l Nor do the Big Brothers neglect the 1 important question of providing adequate 1 instruction for the boys whom they in- tend to supply with employment Through the '. M. c. A. and the Training School for Office Boys, the Big Brothers pro- 1 vide special vocational training for many of the boys who have appeared before the court.
 Tt is one of the principles of the Big Brothers movement" said Judge Hoyt,
 that every child should receive some religious training The organization does not attempt to dictate what that training shall be. But the Big Brothers have been instrumental in establishing close reta- tions between the churches and the boys. Of course, it is the probation officer who is directly responsible. But back of the probation officer stand the Big Brothers, ready to give their powerful aid.
 And then there are the summer camps. Boys who otherwise would not leave the city may now go to summer camps of Princeton, St Paul. Groton and Choats school Boys are sent to these camps through the instruInentality of the Big Brothers.
 Also the court ill the course of it's work cannot fail to observe the benefit cal effects of the five clubs which the Big Brothers conduct in various eenterS 
 each of these clubs Ahree times week within the past year.
 ''The Big Brothers have provided gym nasium work and instruction for 150 boys. And most of these boys hace come from the childrens courts
 tOne important phase of the Big Brother movement is illustrated by the fact that many boys have through the
 nstrumentality of the Big Brohers been placed in private schools. If the Big Brothers had not taken care of the boys in this manner, it would have been neces- sary for the court to commit them to cor rective institutions.
 While I have spoken of the work of the Big Brothers movement alone in con- nection with the court, it is because as it's president I have direct interest in
 it's organization. There are other volun- teer societies carrying on a similar work, and their activities and helpful service are fully as great. AS justice of the children's court I cannot close without testifying to the great debt which the court owes to such societies as the Cath ollie Protective society, the Catholic Boys Protective league, Otherwise known as the Catholic Big Brothers.) the Jewish Big Brothers, the Catholic Ladies com- mittee, the Protestant Big Sisters, the Jewish Big Sisters and the Catholic Big Brothers"
 It is to be hoped Birmingham will be ab1e in the near future to organize sucn a volunteer band and assist the local court in probation work

safeguard, and never in this world will all men and women be good. Were good ness an essential on both sides, for the wedding service, how many marriages would there be?
 'Valentine was little better than Ml- riam, selling herself by marrying 'advan- tageously' without love-yet the respect ability of the wedding ring was hers. Why not Miriam as we'll? Let us have q little decency at the end, please.
 Austin l.. Bennett: By all means she should have married him. Why not? From her standpoint. having all to win and nothing to lose she should never have hesitated
 "Doubtless it was her first opportunity and inevitably would be her last. Mar riage even to worthless man who did not love her would give her an opportu- nity to reclaim her mortal body and to save her soul. A woman in her plight should not have demanded the utmost. St. Paul says marriage is honorable, in her case it was a necessity, and beg gars should not be choosers.''
 Should Have Married Him
 Mrs. James E. Peck: Should she have married < him? Yes. Hap piness is the right Of everyone. Mi riam had certainly not found any happi- ness in her love for Godfrey without marriage. Given reasonable amount of intelligence, a fair amount of good looks, and the right opportunity, any woman can win the love of any man. Miriam would find this opportunity by marrying him. Even if she never won love as deep and al-absorbins as her own-isn t it true that
 |" This is the way the wide world over, One is beloved and one is the lover?'' Mrs. F. s. Gillespie: Why not? Is the saving of two souls not greater than all the conventions? ''rhe Outcast'' in restoring to Geoffrey his lost manhood, regenerates. What then, could be more human and just than for him to save her, or, would it be more righteous when secure once more in his strength and manhood, to again condemn her to the streets
 The matter of ones birth is acciden- tai anc some unfortunates are hopeless victims of circumstances It is not my intention to applaud immorlity, but surely, in this great hig world everyone should have one chance to make good"
 Among the winners it is shown that four of them favored the marriage of Miriam to Godfrey, as against three who did not However. the hundreds of let teis received which were about equally divided between men ana women ap- proxima tely two-thirds were against the marriage of Miriam on the theory that it was bad medicine for both parties
 The winners of the prizes may call at The Age-Herald office this morning at any time after 10 o'clock and receive their prizes.

MUCH SPECULATION AS ID DISPOSAL OF
 RIDDEN HOTEL FRAME
Ordered Removed by Court by Jan. Several Proposi- tiOns Have Been Made, But
 Nothing Definite Done

A number of inquiries nave recently been made as to what disposition will be made of the structural steel in the proposed Roden hotel building at the corner of Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street, and the subject is of special in- terest in view of the recent steady ad- vance in the price of structural steel
 As the matter stands at present the hotel site belongs to the Roden estate while the steel is the property of the American Bridge company. When the matter was in the courts several months ago the bridge company, as the most largely interested creditor, bid in the steel at s5600, and Chancellor Benners decreed that it should be removed by January 1, 1916.
 Several proposals have been made to utilize the framework as it stands. but it is understood nothing definite of this character has been determined upon. In fact it is understood the bridge company would welcome a proposal which would do away with the necessity of tearing down the steel as the cost of this work would amount to probably s20,OOO At the same time it is known that the com pany will take 1t down rather than lose 1t.
 The suggestion has been made that the company might even ask for more time for removing it if it is found that no disposition can be made of it before Jan uary l.
 It will be recalled that the erecQoa the steel framework for the Todsn aet7f began before that on the Tutwiler ana a notable record was made ir tho rapid completion of the work. Il building began to have difficulties lich were greatly augmented by the 9ression which set in last year ario project finally had to be abandoned

AMATEUR POETS TO
 FIGURE IN TRIAL

New York. November S.-Sixty-six of the 1500 amateur poets scattered through out the nation. who claim to have each put up S10 to enter q song poem contest, will be called as witnessed against John T. Newcomber alias John T. Hall, who was placed on trial here today on charges of using the mails to defraud
 The song contest was conducted about a year ago by the John T. Han Music Publishing company of New York, and the government attorneys allege that after 1900 men and women had submitted poems they were induced to pay $1O each to have their poems set to music.
