.FRATERNAL ORDERS
HARD HIT BY WAR
ALL LEADING SOCIETIES ARE
PREPARING TO MEET AD-
DED BURDENS OF WAR.

Fraternal protective orders are
preparing to meet the levy which the
toll of the war will make upon their
life insurance funds. The task is a gil
gantic one, as the records of the 100
reading organizations operating in
this country totaled 6,615,4 21 holders
of certificates the first of the year.
With more than 1000 of its Canadian
members in war service the indie
pendent order of Foresters, at the re-
cent supreme council session at To
ronto deemed it wise to impose an
additional assessment of $50 per
81 90 upon its members, This as
sessment was Due November I.
The Foresters action is based upon
the belief that the fraternal system
would be of little value if on men
going to war their brethren who re-
| manned at home failed to pay at least
some part of their insurance to their
| dependents if they fall. The Forest
ers numbers 33,247 members in the
United States of draft age. 1t was
explained by one of the Rangers that
| if it was found that the surplus Gre
lted by the assessment was not
needed to meet death benefits the sum
or its proportion would be rturned.
The Junior Order of United Ameri-
can Mechanics, the Improved Order Of
Heptasophs, the Royal Arcanum AMI
others are all meeting the problem in
Ways which will least operate toward
increasing the cost or insurance from
any action until the meeting of the
supreme council, which has national
Jurisdiction.

The First Air Limousine
n fine American Row

From the American Boy.
 The air limousine is here at last, on a commercial basis The Curtis Auto plane exhibited at the New York aero nautical show, Is unique combination of luxurious limousine or sedan and an aeroplane. Its speed on the ground Is about 45 miles an hour.
 The three wings vary In size. the est at the bottom. The machine rests on four wheels. The two front wheels are capable of being turned in the same manner as those of a motor car
 The interior resembles very much modern sedan, or small limousine and is beautifully upholstered in the finest tapestry. The control mechan- ism, conveniently located in front of the single pilots seat, includes all the rudder, aileron and elevator controls usually found In an aeroplane as well as set of instruments for recording speeds, elevations. angles and other data of interest to the aviator.
 Just back of the pilots seat are two passenger seats luxuriouslya uphol- stered and provided with those usual creature comforts with which a de luxe sedan is equipped. The machine is powered with an eight-cylinder 100- h. D. Curtis motor which will drive the autoplane at maximum speed of 70 miles per hour through the air. The wing spread is 40 feet and the length over all Is 127 feet and it's vertical height is slightly over 10 feet.

SHOOTERS PRACTICE TODAY FOR START OF
 BIG EVENT TUESDAY
Fourth Annual Spring Tour ney of Local Gun Club to be Held Tuesday and
 Wednesday

1 Practice day of the fourth Birmingham handicap shooting tournament will start today about noon, when the crack shoot CTS of the south get line on the tar gets for the regular programme, which starts Tuesday morning at 9:9O o'clock.
 There will be some of the most notable shots in the south present. The shooting
 this afternoon win be in the nature of warming up for the big matches to fol- low on Tuesday and Wednesday,
 Matches will be arranged to suit the shooters and all of the traps will be working. The delightful new clubhouse will add much to the comforts of the shooters and good lunch will be served on the grounds.
 Several of the shooters have arrived from out-of-town and many more are ex- pected during the day There will be 20 lccal sportsmen participating.
 The big handicaps of Tuesday and Wednesday are the big features. There will be st40 added each day and the win ner of the Birmingham handicap will be awarded $50 in cash.
 The last spring handicap was won by Capt. Andy Meaders of Nashville, mak- ing a score of SS out of the 100 shot ot shooting from the 1S-yard mark. The captain will no doubt to one of the competitors this year.
 It is extremely hard to predict who will be the likely winner this year, as several members of the local gun club are shoot ing in fine form, and several visiting shooters are usually hard to beat.
 The most regrettable part of the shoot will be that President H. c. Ryding will not be able to attend as he has been called to New York on business. How ever, John Warren, vice president will be on the grounds to handle the shoot

.BARONS' SLUMP AND
 GULLS' GAIN MARKS PLAY IN SOUTHERN
Vols Continue to Play Indif- ferent Ball = Travellers Advance-Pels. Still in
 the Lead

Atlanta April 22.-The sudden spurt of the Mobile Gulls. Birmingham slump and the continued indifferent play of the champion Nashville Vol unteers marked the progress of the Southern association race in the sec ond week of the season. Perhaps no less striking features were Little Rocks persistent drive which carried the Travellers into second place, and the slowing up of Chattanooga, which opened the season with caliber of baseball that surprised the circuit. The New Orleans Pelicans still held the leadership with eight games won out of Il played during the season.
 The Gulls. after disastrous start which caused experts to forecast per manent cellar position for the Mobile youngsters. closed the week by taking three out of four from Birmingham and a total of four victories out of seven games for the entire stretch. Blr- mingham in series with Mobile and Chattanooga lost five and won two.
 Both Little Rock and Chattanooga, because of a postponed game in Lit tie Rock Thursday, played only six
 
 into second place with four victories which Chattanooga, despite good start in series with Birmingham, ended with defeats at the hands of the Travellers and Memphis, winning two and losing four
 Memphis Atlanta and New Orleans all won four games out of seven, the Pelicans tasting their first defeats of the season. dropping a single game to Memphis and two to Atlanta. In the face of poor pitching the Crackers managed to bat out the majority of their victories and Memphis proved expected strength both in the box and at the bat The week put Memphis In third place close behind the Travel CTS and Atlanta and Birmingham tied for fourth.
 The showing of the Nashville cham pions. who ended the week tied for last place with Mobile, is beginning to cause no end of comment. The play of the Volunteers during the short open ing week was taken for granted by many who held the club in no condt- tion for a sharp start, but the same number asserted Manager Ellam would soon have his charges under way Nashville won three out of seven games this week
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-23

game since the one in Nashville and there should be another shutout in his system.
 The Crackers have been treated harshly by the Pelicans. Frank team was able to take only one game from Johnny Dobbs' crew. So consequently, when the Barons and Crackers meet it will be a case of two slumping teams fighting to stay out of the cellar.
 The Barons are back home Thursday for series with the Pelicans and a few wins should be recorded over the Crack CTS, so as to hit home soil with the teams percentage over the 500 mark
 Mobile scribes believe the Barons have the real stuff for a rag winning team, but the fact that the pitchers must de- liver is strongly emphasized. Barney Sheridan of the Register writes as fol- lows:
 The game marked the first appear ance of the Barons in Mobile and Moley, as usual, has gathered a pretty shifty ball club. His infield, with Doc Johnston at first, old Doc of few years ago with the Chattanooga Lookouts; Danny Clark. Kid Caton and Eddie Mcdonald, looks good. Moley showed what looked to be natural hitter in Southworth, who is playing center field. He poled two sin gles and a home run, hitting his homer to right field and his two singles to left, showing that he can but 'em any, where If Moley has any capable pitchers his club will make a good showing
 Well wes lost series now to tall ender or what was at once time tail- ender We go up against another tail- ender today. Maybe we'll eject ourselves from the tail-ender's class and nose back into the first division. We're betting on the Barons!

New York suffered it's first de- feat in Brooklyn Wednesday at the hands of the Veteran Jack COombs and lost the opening game at the Polo grounds Friday nfter 14-inning battle with Boston. Except for these clean record. The New York pitch CTS appear to he in fair shape and the bat ting is good.
 St Louis and Boston are aiding New York in setting the pace in the Ma tional, both teams winning five games and losing one last week. Boston's only defeat was at the hands of New York Saturday. and St. Louis lost one to Chicago Brooklyn, league cham pions, and Philadelphia appear unable to get started properly. None of the other teams has displayed any great strength. Safer. Chicago first baseman, is out of the game with a broken leg. and his absence may affect the play Ing of Mitchel's men.
 In the American Chicago has taken the lead through good work in the box and timely hitting. The White Sox took three stfaights from Detroit and then took. two out of three from St Louis. Boston and New York also come through the week with one defeat but played fewer games than Chicago. The worlds champions took three games from Philadelphia and then were de- feated by the Athletics in 12 innings Thursday The series between New York, which took three games from Washington and Boston. resulted iii victory for Boston in the only game played
 Cleveland, after a good start, fell back and won only two out of six played, Washington and Detroit as well as Cleveland. seemingly are suf- fering from cratic pitching and field ing. Detroit and Washington braced at the end of the week and closed 1t with victories. St Louis improved somewhat but apparently still feels the lack Of timely hitting.

He looked at the chief, at the floor. at the ceiling. then made wide gesture. gave gulp, and said

 The chief who had arisen. gave him one look of dumb consternation and reJoined:
 Gosh, Is that the ax."

Mobile, April 22.-(Special.)-Bir- here this afternoon, dropping their third straight game to the Mobile club. The BarOns showed no better form than they did Saturday and failed to hit Pitcher Tom BIodgett until the sixth inning, ard then they were un- able to land on the ball within any degree of safety except on two occa- sions. BIodgett kept the Barons from seeing second base until the sixth lowed runner to score in this frame.
 In five innings only 16 Baron players found him. An error in the eighth two bases on balls and Ellis single gave them their second run of the game. In the eighth with the bases full Caton failed to deliver, striking out. Black, who worked for the visitors, was touched up for 10 hits. and gave eight bases on balls.
 Layden's fielding in right was of the sensational order, the big fielder having total of seven outs. He ran almost on top of the negro bleachers to get foul balls hit by Johnston and Black.
 The Birmingham bunch looked demor- alized this afternoon after the second inning when Black was touched up for a single and two doubles that scored two runs. For a time it looked like Ca- ton was never going to hold a ball
