Lovers of modern poetry and Ii
terature mourn the loss. of their
greatest poet, James Whitcomb
Riley, the Hoosier bard, who died
at his home in Indianapolis Satur-
day. N
Riley's lyrics and prose verse were
Of a homely nature, written in the
dialect Of the common folk Of In
diana. By this style Of writing Riley
established himself as the first poet
of the new era, and his verse simple
in structure but deep in meaning was
loved by both the young ones and the
older folks.

A week of tremendous activity in be-
 brought to a close last night with 8 mass meeting in Avondale and the third and concluding presentation of the great educational film, "The March of Elm pire" before an enormous audience in
 Capitol park. Tomorrow, however, the campaign will be resumed with renewed vigor, and meetings will be held every night in some part of the greater city.
 The big, seven-reel film, made at a
 cost of over $15,00O, which has aroused
 so much interest in Birmingham, vii be presented Monday night at the Ensley opera house. No charge will be made, and the people of that community are expected to turn out in large numbers to witness the wonderful presentation oi school activities in Los Angeles. Be- fore the close of the week the film will city.
 The mass meetings of the new week will open at North Birmingham Monday night, and West End, Fountain Heights East Lake and Vivian will then be visited in the order named, the cam pagn to be closed in the latter com munity.
 The mass meeting at Avondale last night brought out a large crowd ant those present were so pleased that they insisted upon another meeting before the close of the campaign, saying thai it was impossible for many business mer to be present on Saturday night. It was decided, therefore, to give Avondale the only open date for the week for the Tour of Birmingham Schools" and there will be another meeting there Thursday night, when the pictorial tour of local schools will be repeated.
 The speakers at Avondale were Com missioner Hornady and Ben Davis. The former gave his stereopticon lecture showing school conditions as they really are, and MT. Davis made a powerful appeal in behalf of the thousands o1 children who are now being crowded into dangerous and insanitary structures The advocacy of the bond issue by these speakers met with repeated applause, and it was resolved that every person pres ent would constitute himself or herself
 committee of one to work for the school bond issue.
 While the corps of speakers in behalf of the school bond issue were exceed ingly busy during the past week, the school children were not idle, and Com missioner Hornady was intensely grati- fled yesterday when he was presented with more than 100 artistically drawn display cards, prepared by the children of the schools. These cards, which range in size from 10 by 12 inches to "A by S6 inches, will be placed on display in win dows all over the city during the week.
 Each carries an appeal for the bond issue, and great originality, as we'll as artistic skill, was shown by the chil- dren in their preparation They will doubtless excite much interest and will serve to remind every citizen of the ob- ligation that is due to the children of the community.
 The Boy Scouts have also taken an active part in the campaign, helping in the distribution of literature, acting as ushers at meetings and other ways making themselves useful. as they did during the great Confederate reunion.

BESSEMER WINS
 OVER ENSLEY SQUAD

In one of the most interesting games ever seen on local diamond, the fast Ensley squad of the T. c. I. league was defeated today by Bessemer by a score of 3 to l. Both teams played major league ball, but Ensley was held help less by the masterly pitching of Vines, who was in trouble in only two innings, but was tided over by the brilliant work of Gerst and Hughes. McGarry for Ems ley pitched a nice game but his delivery was solved when hits meant runs, espe- cally by 'Home-run" "Jawn' Cochran. The work of Reese for the Ensley team was especially brilliant, getting three hits out of four times up and stealing three bases The box score is as follows:

 In another moment the tender, pas sionate melody of that most persua- sive of all love ballads, Tell Her I Love Her So," was filling the room: "Gleam, gleam, o silver stream,
 Seaward gaily swelling Flow, flow. whispering low,
 To your banks my story telling. Far, far. OCT sandy bar.

 Even with my limited knowledge of music I knew that the man at the piano had a voice of unusual beauty, and well knew how to use it. The music Tilted through the air. the beau tiful words rose and fell: Say, say, when she's away,
 Life is dark and lonely, Bright and fair, when she is near,
 For 'tis she is the sunshine only. Greet, greet, softly my sweet,
 She is my love. mine only, Flow, flow, merrily, merrily flow, Tell her I love her so, I love her so."

Thompson and Charles Ray "The ClOwn' is a photOdrama revealing a new variation of the eternal triangle It deals with life in the circus and Victor Moore, as "Piffle," the clown appears both as the harlequin of the circus and the noble, human, husband and father. The story shows how the children's idol risks his life to save one of his little admirers, and later sacrifices his career to protect the honor of another How he tries to bet ter himself. and how he leaves the woman he has married to protect, that she may turn to one she loves. is chronicled in a number of unusual and startling scenes.
 The Dividend" the Triangle play. is the story of the young man, just out of school, and at a time when a father should be more than the mere parent. He should not be content with giving him a pat on the back now and then but should give long talks and take a warm interest in the plans and desires of the boy, an association that is more like that of two good chums than any thing else.
 In addition to above the Keystone Players will appear in "Bedilia's Bluff,' and the Paramount will pre- sent their Burton Holmes Travelogue.
 For today the great William Fox masterfilm, "The End of the Trail' featuring William Farnum, in his last western role, will be shown, in addi- ton to the fourth chapter of "Gloria's Romance" the Pathe Weekly and a Cub Comedy.
