GONE TO CoLoRs.

GUN EL 1O 0OlSOhO. W. M. Hershell, in the Indianapolis News.
 The kid has gone to the colors,
 And we don't know what to say; The kid we have loved and cuddled Stepped out for the flag today. We thought slim a child, baby, With never a care at all, But his country called him man-size And the kid has heard the call. He paused to watch the recruiting Where, fired by the fife and drum, He bowed his head to Old Glory And thought that it whispered,
 "Come!"
 The kid not being a stacker.
 Stood forth with patriot joy To add his name to the roster And, God, were proud of the boy! The kid has gone to the colors; It seems but little while Since he drilled a schoolboy army In truly martial style. But now he's man, a soldier, And we lend him listening ear, For his heart is a heart all loyal, unscourged by the curse of fear. His dad, when he told him. shuddered, His mother-God bless her!-eried; Yet, blest with mother nature She wept with a mother pride. But he whose old shoulders straight
 ened,
 Was grandad-for memory ran, To years when he, too. youngster, Was changed by the flag to a man! The following invitation has been re- ceived:
 The faculty and graduating class of the Hillman Hospital Training school for Nurses, invite you to be present at their commencement exercises, Wednesday evening, May 30, 1917, at o'clock, Gable hall, Birmingham, Ala.

We want Birmir gham to be musical community, a singing community Just stop and read of the great work in the newspapers of the community singing in New York and what it has meant to the people of that city. What a whole-hearted interest everybody takes In the work therei It is the pride of the city and besides being a real pleasure to the people from an educational standpoint it is a wonderful thing. There is a universal wave of singing all over the world today, for which the war is responsible; people who have never sung before are lending their voices to the sStar-Spangled Banner whenever the flag waves and whenever the band plays this soul-insptring selec- ton; the French people, with the Mar saillaise,' shout forth their patriotism in voices attuned to it's thrilling music. Every nation, every cline, is singing to- day and there has never been such a widespread demand for singing; singing by the masses and the classes as we have now. Birmingham's cooperation and harmony and encouragement is asked for the Jefferson County Community cho- rus, for it belongs to all of us and each needs the other"

 Yet they accomplish marvels. Besides the regular educational courses, the girls are taught cooking and sewing, poultry raising, gardening and basket work The boys learn carpentry, simple engineering, rug weaving, farming and the like.

 We are both trying to learn and be independent and have recognized citi- zenship.
