MRS HOUSTON DAVIS
 

est artists announce concerts and re- cita1s in vast numbers
 The Music Study club makes its an- nouncement along with the others and certainly Birmingham has something to look forward to this season.
 Variety Is noted in the attractions and some novelties never heard here before will be included and altogether the season looks as if it would be the most brilliant that has ever been known
 Birmingham is proud of the Music Study club; proud of it's work, its big membership, it's progressiveness and it's stability
 It is an honor to the city and has done splendid work in the building up of musical matters
 Its president, Mrs. Houston Davis is woman of broad musical educa- ton. unusual business acumen and beautiful taste and discrimination.
 She has the real musical instinct and having had fine advantages, both in this country and abroad, where she has studied, knowing personally many of the great artists of the day, she Is In a position to give valuable advice in the matter of choosing artists who are pleasing and worth while.
 Her ideals regarding the encourage ment of home talent in the programmes which will be presented during the season shows that she does not lose sight of the fact that Birmingham wants to hear her own musicians as well as visiting musicians.
 As president of the Music Study club Mrs. Davis has reached splendid heights, building, encouraging, f1nano- ing and assisting in putting it on a firm foundation which will stand as beacon light in musical circles in days to come.
 In speaking of the activities which the Music Study club has in prospect for the coming year, Mrs. Davis says among other interesting things:

Shrapnel Wounds Most Deadly

Tn the November Popular Science Monthly and Worlds Magazine. A. M. Jungmann writes of the remarkable work being accomplished by surgeons in Europe.
 comparison of the wounds made by different weapons and projectiles in the war, and says:
 From observations made by sur geons in the various base hospitals it would seem that the most severe wounds are those caused by shrapnel The exploding shell is often imbedded in the flesh. and because of its low speed makes particularly ugly wounds. especially to the face and head. The effect of shrapnel balls is also ex- cecdingly destructive when they come in contact with the. bones. They cause the bone to be broken into minute fragments which give rise to all sorts of complications. The shrapneT ball is solid lead. .50 ,calibre. and averages 40 balls to the pound.
 Wounds inflicted by shrapnel cas- ing are particularly dangerous from the standpoint of infection The uneven edges of the metal fragments are sure to introduce bits of cloth into the wound, which almos tinvariably cause inrection. The lead shrapnel balls also make bad wounds because of their size and because of their low velocity. They not only carry in infectious material, but they make bruised, lacerated wound. very ifferent from that made by high speed rifle bullets"

The Laughter of Courage

The Laughter of Courage
 From the London Times.
 X It was a big cinema house. The lights were turned down and the gen era laudience was a blur, faces at 8 few feet distance not clearly discern ible. On the screen a comic story was being shown, some scenes very comic. and amusement was audible all over the crowded building. There was tittering, staggering, gasps of surprise and occasionally an excIama- tion. Everybody more or less seemed sufficiently tickled to make a noise of one kind or another when suddenly a new sound was heard, sound that presently dominated the entire house. A man was-laughing.
 At first so concentrated was. atten- tion on the screen that his laughter did not attract attention. It merged in the general murmur of the crowd. But gradually it differentinated itself from this general murmur and rose about 1t. It became a sound apart. More than mere amusement, more than pleasant sense of the ludicrous made audible. 1t drew attention to itself. It was laughter-genuine, hearty laughter.
 And people turned their heads. First oLe, then another looked away from

One must be child to laugh like that felt many, with a touch of envy, per haps.i at the thought No grown up could forget himself for so slight a cause. It certainly was unaffected laughter; the man was sunselfconscious. He did not know he was making such a noise> And everybody looked at the rows behind them. peering eagerly to see his face; they made remarks to their neighbors;S they waited, listening for the next outburst, then nudged each other again---and finally began laugh ing themselves.
 And everyone swhos heard 1t shared one longing-for the story to end and the lights to be turned up, that the loughter might be visible. For it seemed that no one cared any longer what happened on the screen; all want ed to see the jovial face of the jolly, happy man who had scheered them up without Knowing that he did so. And at last the story ended, the lights be- gan to rise. Hundreds of necks were craned ,s

T believe that the Junior Music Study club Is one of the best moves that has been made in musical circles in the history of Birmingham" Mrs. Davis continued. Ut is impossible. as we all know, for grown person who has never had any musical advantages to begin at late age in life to love good music and appreciate it, as the child who in his infancy, you might say, Is taught music Just like he is taught any other branch of education and who grows up hearing good mu- sic, being associated with musical peo- pie and living in a musical atmos- phere.
 Again the Music Study club feels that it has accomplished great deal in securing the biennial for Birming- ham in the spring of 1917," Mrs. Da- wis said Through the invitation of the club extended by Miss Prudence Noff and the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce, and prominent business men, the biennial will bring to this city over thousand visiting artists and delegates. It will be the biggest musical event that has ever taken place in the south. A symphony orchestra will be engaged for the en- tire period of the meeting and the event will be an epoch-making one in tho history of music in Birmingham.
 ''The extension work of the Music Study club Mrs. Davis said, "has been most gratifying to the members dur ing the past year. Miss Kitts, Miss Georgia Taul, Mrs. Robert Newman and Mrs Clara Harper Steele last season arranged IA concerts which were given in the public schools of the city. This regard as a real community uplift, giving the children an opportunity to hear good music, without any effort

on their part and placing them in df- rect contact with the most talented musical people of the city.
 we are also busy just now with our campaign for membership,'' Mrs Davis said. Mrs. oster and Misc Me Carthy are enthusiastically working for 1t and so far we have 60 new mem bers added to our list of 25O (approx- imately). Our object in this campaign is to bring the membership up to at least 400 during the coming season. ,"The chorus of 90 Is also one of the foremost activities which the Music Study club has sponsored" Mrs. Davis said. Under the direction of MT. Will liam Gussen, the chorus is making fine progress. It is composed of members from the Music Study club. the Treble Clef club. and the West End club. At the open meeting when Cecil Tanning is here the chorus will sing Sir Oluf' by Harriet Ware. The Poem Is writ ten by MT. Tanning himself and this lends additional interest to the occa- sion since he will sing the princi- pal part.
 ''We have under consideration an en- gagement with the Minneapolis or chestra,' Mrs. Davis continued, land as has already been announced, Fritz Kreisler will give a recital in March and this will be one of the rarest treats that has ever been afforded Birming- ham since he is regarded by many critics as the greatest living violinist. The May festival with MT. Damrosch will take place as usual and is al- ways an event of interest. The public can readily see that the Music Study club is not laggard when it comes to activities new and old. We feel very proud of the work we have done and that the Music Study club means some

fM YIN the history of musical Bfr vXlx mfngham nothing stands out IS~AS more prominently in the lS24SEy work that has been done to
 improve the musical status and bring to this city the best mu- sical talent than the Music Study club. Few people outside of its mem bers realize just what an immense institu- tion the Music Study club is; still fewer understand the vast amount of work 1t accomplishes and the time and the energy that are given over to per- feet its plans.
 Every city of any importance has it's large musical organizations; some SUD- port splendid symphony orchestras, others large choruses, but all have, in some form or another, a musical club which, when all is told, does more to- ward encouraging music and giving it the place it properly belongs in than any other organization.
 This season the influx of musical celebrities all over the country is marvellous; artists of every nationality are lowering over America, since in Europe the war has practically upset
  the plans of all the great musical peo- pie.
 A few singers. some of the big men, are at the front; those who are not are in the United States; almost anybody is open for an engagement.

The Big Business of Drink

The capital invested in the liquor in dustry and allied trades totals S1,29A 5S3,426. Annual disbursements for ma- terials, transportation, etc. are $1,121,- 6ee.097. and for wages $453,S72,53. The number of persons employed is about 1000. .000. and these with their depend- cnts number 4,000.000. The liquor in dustrys utilizes $11S.513.917 worth of grain and other farm products. The industry pays taxes totaling $230. .173,- 624. Doubtless advocates of temperanco have an answer for these figures. Why should they not take the discussion of them into the public forums. and why should not defenders of the liquor in dustry meet their antagonists on the same platforms?
