 A HUGE SUCCESS
Over 800 People Attend. Swimming and Diving Is Best Seen-Club Is in
 Fine Shape

The fall opening of the Birmingham Athletic club was held last night before the largest crowd ever attending the eel ebration of the opening of season. The clubrooms, gaily decorated, were in- spected by at least 800 people. large number being women. and friends of the members.
 The opening was the most suspicious in the history of the club An exhibi- ton by members took place in the pool to open the evening and a dance on the gymnasium floor brought the festivities to a close after midnight.
 The exhibition in the pool was the best swimming and diving ever witnessed in Birmingham. The members, composing the bulk of Birmingham best and most able swimmers, gave wonderful dem- onstration and were roundly applauded by the large audience.
 Perhaps the best part of the exhibi- ton in the pool was that of the four Levy brothers. The two younger mem- bers of the crew, Francis and John, were the best in the boys class. Lionel and Joyce entered in the mems class, also performed we'll Their swimming and diving was the best presented in their class. Harold Antwine was second choice in the boys class
 Biscoe Seals. Harry Satter1eld, Elwyn Cobbs, Billy Cobbs. Herbert Cobbs, Jus tine Omstead. J. D. Chichester and Elmer Eeinze were other members of the mems class who came in for their share of the praise
 The reception committee, headed by Dr. James F.. Dedman. was on hand to keep things lively.
 The club is in excellent shape. all fix lures being recently installed. The rooms were decorated with ferns and the clubs colors Refreshments were served on the balcony. The dance. which did not discontinue until after midnight. was the best in years.
 The opening was huge success and indications point to another big year for the Blue and White. FB.

FINE BEGINNING BY MUSIC STUDY CLUB : INACTIVE CAMPAIGN Mrs. Theodore Smith Tells What Has Been Done in
 Columbus, O. WORKERS LUNCHEON GIVEN YESTERDAY Morris ". Bush Presides and Sneak. CTS Pledge Aid to Increase the
 Local Club Membership
 to One Thousand

fiIhe one thousand membership cam paign of the Music Study -elub was iaunched most auspiciously yesterday. when more than 175 of Brmingham's citi- zens attended the luncheon at the South : ern club at which Mrs. Ella May Smith of Columbus, O., was the guest of honor.
 Morris W. Bush presided and in intro ducing the speakers was in his happiest mood.
 Interesting short talks were given by Or. Philips, who assured the club of the hearty cooperation of the board of educaiton Mrs. Theodore Smith, Mrs. E +. Wilkinson, J. Frank Rushton, Dr. II. M. Edmonds and Mrs. Dickens, who brought greetings from Mobile.
 Mrs. Smith proved herself an easy and convincing speaker and all those who listened to the story of what the Music club has accomplished in Columbus felt full of determination to make the local club mean as much to Birmingham.
 WORK OF COLUMBUS CLUB F The Columbus club grew in 14 years frbm membership of 200 to a member ship of 400. It has many departments. which include the six evening concerts
  tion, six concerts by active members. lecture recitals which are for the study of symphonies, and programmes given at the evening concerts, choral work club extension recitals, d circulating mu- sic library, study circle, composed of the active members, and an atruistic de- partment. The work of this last is espe- cially interesting, as it is the means of Ewing concerts in every state or city in- stitution in Ohio. Last year 24 were given.
 This department also has it's settle ment work and during the first year over 1000 free lessons were given by lead ing teachers in Columbus to the children who would not otherwise have been able to study.
 In concluding Mrs. Smith said: T have been quite boastfuly telling what Columbus has done, but I have no hesitancy in saying that Columbus has not done one thing that Birmingham may not also do.''
 PRAISED FOR SUGGESTION Mrs. Davis received much compliment tary mention for the inauguration of the movement and Birmingham for the splen- did showing it made at the initial lunch on of the campaign.
 All the chairmen of the committee are requested to attend the Friday lunch con which will be held at the Southern club at 12:30 and to report in writing the number of members obtained Mrs. I Smith will talk informally Friday on 1.-the "Biennial,'' which will be held in Bir- hihgham in 1917. Manly interesting mat ters will be discussed and an opportunity given to talk over in detail plans for the present campaign.
