1 the club had long ago justified it's exist l ence. He grew reminiscent as he thought
 of the formation of the club. Sparrow Grows Reminiscent eff you remember, there was fellow over in Atlanta named Haggerty, or something like that, said MT. Sparrow. Well, just about the time the Ad club was formed someone got wind of the fact that Haggerty was going to move to Bir- mingham, and it was decided to welcome him over here and the Ad club prepared
 an entertainment for the occasion. The dinner we gave him was a swell affair
 and 1t really was the launching of the Ad club. Haggerty was more than surprised In fact, it appeared that he didn't know what to think. He never did move to Birmingham and we never learned why.
 But that dinner we gave him demonstrat- ed the fact to members of the club that 1t would last and really put it on it's feet
 MT. Sparrow referred to the work of the protection committee of the club. Tt is impossible to estimate the amount this committee has saved the merchants of Birmingham in guarding them against
 fake advertising propositions" said MT. Sparrow. Time was when any fellow
 with gift of gab could come to Bir-
 mirgham and represent himself as an
 agent for the International Horseshoers'
 association and secure advertising for the
 programme they would put out at their
 next convention. He would threaten the
 merchants with a boycott If they didn't come through and many of them did so.
 However. the protection committee of the Ad club has changed all this. If
 merchant is approached by anyone with an advertising proposition that Is not absolutely known to be legitimate, he is
 referred to the protection committee of
 the club. This committee passes on all
 such matters and sentiment does not en-
 ter into it at all. The matter Is consd-
 cred purely from a standpoint of how
 much 1t is worth to the merchant and the
 price is made to fit the value of the proposition.
 "The Ad club has passed through the trials of early life into the broad channel of large membership that paid its dues, and back into the low waters of small membership that didn't pay. We're on the way to the top again, and this club will continue to be heard from as long as advertising continues to pay mer-
 chants"

was insistently urged to be a candidat' for another term his friends on more than one occasion eecting him over his protest. Under MT. Sparrow's guidance the club was recognized by the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World as ons of the "livest" clubs in America. On the occasion of the Dallas convention of the Associated Advertising clubs, the Br- mingham club carried a large delegation and created deep impression at the con- vention. "The Birminghammer" was published at Dallas and the clubs stand ing throughout the nation assured.
 Men of affairs throughout the country have at one time and another been guests of the Ad club and one of the occasions on which the club did itself proud was the dinner given Oscar w. Underwood i'm mediately after the statesmans great tariff fight
 The club fought for and secured the passage of an ordinance in Birmingham to prevent fraud in advertising and is be- hind the bill which Representative Isa- dore Shapiro will present to the legisla- ture for passage at the present session This bill has been approved by the club. The Ad club has been one of the for ward organizations in civic work in Bir- mingham. It was behind the movement for an auditorium and it's members con- tributed literally of their time toward the campaign for a bond issue The club aided the Chamber of Commerce in the fight to have Birmingham named as one of the federal reserve cities and was in the vanguard in the fight to bring the Methodist university to Birmingham. That these two battles were lost is no refec- ton on the Ad club, or the other civic organizations of Birmingham, for that matter.

VALUE OF PREVENTIVES IN
 FIGHT ON TUBERCULOSIS
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT By MRS. SIDNEY yI. LILLIAN

That "an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure'' is generally the case; that 1t Is so in the case of tuberculosis Is positively true. There can be no tuber- culosis without the germ, and the germ of the disease can never cause the dis ease unless the soil has been prepared for it.
 There are many causes that prepare the body for the growth of tuberculosis and many of these causes lie within the indi- vfdual himself. For example, take such causes as intemperance, lack of proper food, weakened physical condition. Other groups are caused entirely outside of the individual and may be designated as environment and social causes. Here, for instance, we find bad working condi- make easy victims.
 It is on the social conscience of the Alabama public to assist as nearly as possible by reform measures and through education to make the proper conditions that will keep down the rise of the tuber- culosis germ. Through the proper channel of education the school. the lecturer and the distribution of literature the individual may learn how to assist himself, and the city government can greatly help with clean streets and garbage collection, de- cent housing and sanitation in creating a healthy environment.

To Entertain Little Convalescent

Sometime ago several suggestions were made for the children during vacation in which they were advised to help the con valescent little folks during the summer vacation.
 Again the department has been asked for suggestions. The following formula has beer found that seems practical and enter taining:
 CLAY MODELLING.
 One cup flour.
 One-half cup salt.
 One teaspoonful powdered alum.
 Mix with water to make a stiff dough that will not stick to the hands. With this material the youngest may model any object that fancy suggests. If the child is weak the nurse may do the modelling. The clap will keep for sometime if wrapped in a damp cloth and may be used several times.
