GREAT STATE FAIR OPENS TODAY
 WITH WONDERFUL ATTRA C77ONS
Birmingham Voters 10 Decide Issue
 ut the Poles Today

to the various divisional polling pre- cincts
 Heretofore 1t has been the custom for the city, especially Tn municipal elec- tions, to have policemen stationed at each voting place. This will not be done today, however. owing, 1t Is claimed to the fact that the city cannot furnish sufficient officers for the increased num- Der of boxes.
 Clarence Lloyd, secretary of the board of commissioners, and also secretary Of the election commission, stated last night that practically all election officers re- gently appointed had agreed to serve, and additional appointments had been made
 to take the place of the few who had
 reported they were unable to act as clerks or managers.
 There will be no soliciting of votes or distributing of cards or literature at the polls or elsewhere today. No hacks or automobiles to transport the voters to | the polls can be used. In fact, under the | election laws, 1t Is unlawful even to in- l innate the name of the candidate Tor whom you have voted.
 l It is said that especial watch will be l observed by both the sheriff and police
 departments today and that a number of | deputies and special officers will be on | the lookout at the voting precincts throughout the city to see that no irreg'
 ularities are attempted.
 | The result of the election should be l known earlier than usual tonight.

LOVE TRUE TEST
 OF D|SC|P[ESH|P
 SAYS DR. EDMONDS The Master Would Simply Have Asked "Heretits'O Question :"Do You Love?"
 Declares the Minister
Love" was tho sermon topic of

Love" was tho sermon topic Of pr. Henry M. Edmonds last night
 "We are to interpret God by low ing" he told a large gathering at the Sunday night service held at the Lyric theatre. Love is the talisman for all happiness, power. prosperity, har- mony. Out of love come forth all the virtues. God is love, and love is God
 He referred to the church trials of history's "heretics," in which stern men full of technical theology pro- pounded questions such as, What is your belief on the subject of inspira- tion?" and What are your views on the atonement." The Master of Men he thought, would simply have asked DO you love?" and the answer, "t am not sure upon this or that, as to what my belief is; I only know that love Thee and follow Thee as best may, loving my brethren and serving them, and trying to emulate Thy ex- ample of selfless love-" would have brought the acquittal, Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord"
 Jesus sought good in all things." asserted Dr. Edmonds, cultivated 1t and trained it, until the good over came the bad.
 Love is the greatest of all virtues. Having love. all the other virtues come. naturally to men. Not knowledge, nor wealth, nor position, make for true happiness. for which all mankind IS seeking.
 Would you have concord in the home? Then there must be love. Shall there be harmony between labor and capital? Then there must Dc love. The peace and prosperity of the world rest | upon the deep lying love in the hearts l of mon"
 Loving and liking were d1ffsrsnti- ated.
 l Naturally ono cannot like all mon"
 said the speaker. "but one can love ] so broadly and upon so large scale I that little personal differences and | likes and dislikes are obliterated In
 the great love that desires good for all
 men, whether they be friends or ene-
 mies How love you, or do not love, l is the true test of discipleship.' l The choir was in excellent voice at 1 last nights service, the several num- bers being beautifully rendered. Am nouncement was made of the recep tion of 12 new members into ths church at the morning service 2 Tew ! pie Emanu-El. when communion was celebrated.

DIR. THOS. P. BYRNES
 AT FIRST UNITARIAN
Pastor Breaches at Night Service on the Value of Religion
 to Man

Dr. Thomas P. Byrnes in the First Unitarian church at last nights serv ices said in part:
 Men need religion for many req sons, and to supply many great hu- man needs. But, first of all, man needs religion to live this life well and to do tho big things of this world. For true and vital religion is the very source of life, as necessary as bread and meat, as air and sunshine, as laughter and song, as joy and poetry.
 Real true. vital religion is great human creative and constructive power, building character, personal ity, hope and heaven in the hcart and soul of man. The fact is there is no bigger reason for living in the Chris tian spirit than this great fact that man builds the Kingdom of God in his soul here and now.
 "If were to live a thousand years on this earth I would aim to secure the highest, truest and most inspiring religion which I could find in order that those thousand years might all be rich in life. joy, hope. love and the spirit of high service to God and to man.
 q should desire a religion to in- spire me with high ideal to keep me physically fit and efficient, to hold me to the path of duty, to fill me with the joy of service and to make an effective worker in the Kingdom of God and the democracy of man.
 Man needs religion to make him go. to keep fire in his human furnace, steam in his human boiler and life and energy for his workaday world. But he, of course, needs .the inspira tion of religion still more to inspire his daily life, to build Christian char acter and consecrated human person. ality, to sweeten his life, and to give joy and zest to his daily existence Man needs religion as tonic, as an inspiration, as a happy and glad experience amid tho dreary routines of his humdrum life, We need religion to take us from time to time to the happy land of the spirit, and to walk with God in the land of pure and spir- itual delight. For there is a land o1 the spirit, land of faith and hope a land where imagination paints the scenes and tints with radiance di. vine the landscape and the sky, anc we would live from time to time man, I happy hours in this land of our faith hope, busy dreams"

 The transmitter was concealed in a flue and hung down in such way that 1t swung in front of a stovepipe opening just above the officers sta tion in the hall. The men who dis covered it traced the wires connected with it for about 200 feet.

SOLO, BOYS CHORUS
 AND CHOIR SINGING
 AT bJ0U CONCERT
Uniaue Features Mark the Community Programme. Stallings Tells of
 Camp Life

The third of tho 30 Sunday commu- nity sings" to be given at the BiJou this season took place yesterday aft ernoon under the direction of Robert Lawrence. and the house was again filled to overflowing. The Philhar- monic orchestra, Philip Memoli. di- rector, played four numbers-overture to "Raymond," by Thomas. 'Hungar- ian Fantasia" by Tobani, "Serenada" by Drdla, and the war march from Mendelssohn's "Athalia." It has been slightly augmented and will be still further increased as competent per- formers are available.
 The orchestra has made very marked nrogress in it's ensemble playing, and when the community. funds are suf- ficient to pay for one or two more rehearsals each week the improvements of course, will be still greater.
 Special features of the programme were two sacred pieces admirably rem dered by the First Methodist quartet choir composed of Mrs. J. J. Strick- land, Mrs. John Peck, J. D. McGill and H. J. Posner, with Claude R. Harte- zell organist- director; a solo by Miss
 Elizabeth Cunningham, one of Birming- hams finest sopranos; and the boys chorus from the fourth and fifth grades of the East Lake school. under the direction of Miss Carol Jackson, with Miss Minnie McNeifl at the piano, and a short but informing narrative address by Secretary w. s. Stallings
 of tho Y. M. c. A-"our Boys in the Training Camps.a
 The East Lake boys made decided hit, especially in 'srhe Ginger Bread Man" The Birmingham high school has long made much of music and the appearance of the little fellows yes terday shows what the elementary schools are doing.
 Miss Cuoningham sang with the or chestra, her selection being "Viss d'Arte," from La Tosca." She was il the best of form. Her intonation wa true, her vocalization perfect, and he beautiful delivery was that of the fin ished artist. She was forced to respon' to an encore.
 The community singing was as it al ways is, full of interest, and MT. Law renee enlivened this part of the pro gramme with his characteristic good na ture and pleasant wit. "Comin Throug l it came to the ''extra" after the regula bill, ''Scotland's Burning. Fire! Fire Fire! Pour on Water,' there was muc genuine merriment. MT. Lawrence ha a way of closing with a little fun mak l ing, as he calls it, and in 50 doin l heightens the human side of innocer
 pleasure and makes people glad that h, l nor and musical art go well together.
 On Sunday next Mir. Lawrence will b. gin his canvass for $500 or more { ! finance the orchestra for these 30 Sur days. That he will have the co-opera ton of all who attend the 'sing" got without saying.
