 Birmingham, May 2, 1916.
 My Dear MT. Messer: I want to thank you and through you your company of Boy Scouts for the valuable and efficient service rendered at the Birmingham Terminal station during the reunion. The little fellows handled the crowd like old veterans and Birmingham is to be con graduated on the efficiency of the Boy Scouts organization.
 q was particularly impressed with the modest manner in which the boys de- clned to accept tips for their services. 1 overheard a conversation between lady and one of the smallest scouts. She in- sisted that he accept a tip for carrying her grip from the station to the train. The little fellow took off his hat, bowed politely and stated that he was fully paid if she was satisfied with their services. Very truly yours, J. H. STANFIEL,
