The above visual reminder of the event that will stir this city three weeks from today was designed and executed by Miss Carrie Hill, one of Birmingham s most successful artists. Through the me dum of this ''sticker" the entire United States is having it's attention directed to Dixie, ''the land of cotton.' The sticker has been sent to the presidents of the 500 clubs belonging to the musical federa- tion. The artist says that though blast furnaces are usually associated with Br- mingham itself this little symbol will mean Dixie and our southland wherever Miss Hills part.
 Thousands of the stickers were dis tributed last week and every mail from the east to the west bears evidence of the activity of the music biennial board.
 Although various tentative programmes have been published from time to time, the revised and authoritative programmes will not be quite ready for several days yet.
 The biennial will begin on Sunday April 15, with sacred music in the churches. There will be organ recitals in the early afternoon. The great community chorus will be heard in Capitol park at o'clock. At night Birmngham's celebrated ne- gro choir will be the principal feature and it may be assured that it will be at it's best.
 During the week musical entertain ments will be in order every day There will be artist recitals and two great or chestra concerts by the Russian sym phony organization And on the whole, the biennial will be the greatest musical event ever presented in the south
 Among the features of the convention will be the appearance of Carrie Bride we'll, who will render this programme:
 Aria, Samson ct Dalila' (Saint-Saens).
 Persian Song (Saint-Saens).

START FIRE
 IN THE COUNTY JAIL
Blaze Quickly Extinguished and Negroes Locked <Up on
 Charge of Arson

Two young negroes, confined in the county jail. caused some little excitement yesterday when they set fire to some rags and couple of brooms in the cell in which they were confined. There was little blaze and much smoke, and for a time the extent of the fire could not be ascertained.
 Deputy Sheriff C.. w. Austin, Steve Wiggans and the other wardens were quickly on the scene and soon had the two negroes subdued and the fire ex- tinguished. One of the boys stated they had started the fire Ito warm up.' The other stated 1t was because they were locked in the cell for an infringement of the rules committed by some other prls- oners. Warrants charging arson was sworn out for the two boys before Judge II. B. Abernathey and they will be given . hearing next week.
