Was there a scene ?.

NOT LADYLIKE.

This vaudeville performer is supposed to be/giving an impersonation of lady protesting to the janitor because there isn't enough heat in her apartment"
 T understand that much. The plot of the piece is simple"
 But I think there's flaw in her impersonation."
 'I hadn't noticed it."
 "At the end of her remarks she said. Do you get me?"

Enjoyed Dr. Harrington

T greatly enjoyed hearing Dr. Frank Harrington, an Alabama boy, who is now pastor of flourishing church in Tennessee, preach for us at the South side Baptist church on Sunday" said Darby 1T. Brown.
 "Dr. Harrington has held some strong jana, before accepting the call to the First Baptist church, Jackson. where he is now making good. It is always q pleasure to know that an Alabamian is succeeding. Dr. Harrington has many friends who would be glad to see him back at work in his native state."

Monday Prayer Service

1T feel sure that if the busy laymen
 realized how refreshing the monday
 prayer meetings being held at the Civic
 association are," said Dr. P. B. Wells
 more of them would drop in for 20 minutes and forget their worries and get in tune with God
 These are days calling for prayer. The prayer movement is not merely backed by the ministry, but the great governments, as well as commanding generals are urging the people to be much in prayer. Our prayer meetings in midweel ought to be our best service, but unfortunately many who live in cities neglect to attend"

King George Likened
 To a Kansas Mayor

1NHAT was a rare compliment
 0 which Congressman John R. Connolly of Colby, Kan, paid King George. His majesty gave the mem bers of the congressional committee whom he received regular Kansas handshake," and MT. Connolly de- scribed him as being as democratic as a mayor of small Kansas town.
 The King has no voice in the gov ernment, but as nominal ruler he has won the esteem of all classes of his subjects by his gentle bearing and his human manner. He has been written about in pleasant terms and his democracy has been the theme of many newspaper sketch and inter view. But it remained for Congress- man Connolly to draw parallel that was as striking as it was gracious. Kansas mayors are the embodiment of politeness and unfeigned cordiality. And these qualities seem to distin- guish King George. He has the savoir faire of his father, with none of the hauteur of the elder Georges.
 But it was the genial kansas who made the discovery that will stand as a felicitous illustration of just how Britain's sovereign looks and acts.

Cotton Prices and
 the Cotton Crop

THE price of cotton has advanced
 J twenty-one dollars bale since the government crop report of last week was published. Growing condi- tions in June justified the estimate for a fifteen million-bale crop, but the deterioration in July caused pam icky feeling in the market Hence the soaring prices.
 The government report reckoned with conditions up to the 18th of the month. Since then there has been little or no improvement in Texas and

When Mrs. Jibway returned from lengthy stay in the country she found q letter in MT. Jibway's coat pocket ad- dressed to him in woman's handwrit- ing"
 "yyas there scene?"

Picture City of Brompton

ActuIt Nlty OI DrOHptOh
 One day last week a party of us motored out to Brompton," said Mrs. J. C. Trout, who is chairman of the bet ter film committee of the Studiosis club. We spent. the day at the new moving picture corporation city never was more impressed in all my life than With the tremendous possibilities in this enterprise
 Tn the first place the grounds are perfectly beautiful and many wonder ful improvements have been made. The people who are organizing this work (and, by the way, they are the same people who founded and started Uni- versa1 City, in California; feel that Brompton is the most picturesque place in the south for the making of pie lures.
 The only thing asked of Alabama people is just their support and co-op- eration. The plan of the film corpora tion is educational, for none will be re- ceived who cannot measure up to cer- tain standards, and in order to attain these standards, instruction will be given at the studios there. I believe 1t is a great thing for Alabama and it seems to me that Alabamians would jump at the chance to make such an enterprise a success"

Negroes Interested in Library


 Much interest is being shown among the negroes of Birmingham in the pros- pect of branch of the library to be devoted to their neeos, and plans are rapidly being formulated at the public library for the opening said Miss Emily Miller.
 An excellent place has been chosen at 1715 Third avenue. north, and books are being ordered. The public is remind ed that more books will be needed than the limited fund will allow, and that suitable gifts will be welcomed.
 Mrs. A. O. Lane was the first to come forward with a donation of books for the colored branch. She has given about 50 volumes, all well selected and bound, in memory of her husband, the late Judge Lane. It is hoped that others will follow her example"

The report that the Salvation Army was abolished in Germany by imperial decree is probably true. In the first place, it was founded by an Engishman, and in the second place, the German government has no particular use for soldier who merely fights for God and humanity.
