MRS. PARK AND MISS TAYLOR
 IN SELMA

The following from the Selma Journal will be read with much interest by Sir. mingham people:
 "A large and appreciative audience of representative men and women gathered at the Hotel Albert Tuesday evening to hear some of the noted speakers, mem bers of the Alabama Equal Suffrage as- sociation, talk on well chosen and timely subjects, in all of which the keynote was woman's suffrage.
 Mrs. Angus Taylor of Birmingham, vice chairman of the state organization. presided at the speakers desk with a charming and gracious poise rarely seen Her original and quaint remarks on pre- senting each speaker were very enter taining, meeting with enthusiastic re- sponse from those assembled.
 Miss Mary Parke London of Birming- ham, quite a young and lovely repre- sentative of the state association, was the first speaker, and from the very mo ment of her appearance, which in itself was the very essence of youthful enthu- siasm, she held the attention of hee audience. The sweet, pure tones of her voice were pleasant to hear, and her sub ject, The New York Campaign in wElch she was an enthusiastic worker from Alabama and which she told of in an intensely interesting manner, repeating amusing incidents of her experiences as which made the more solid part of her activities the more agreeable, held the undivided attention of all present.
 Miss London is brilliant young wom- an and her own enthusiasm in the cause for which she so ardently works, cannot fail to touch a responsive chord, in the hearts of those who hear her speak.

have done just what we did: start at once to arrange for the High school girls and boys to be housed, and so when the Southside Baptist church put it's handsome edifice at our disposal and the Paul Hayne school was found to be available also, we at once accepted the situation and began work.
 ''The Medical college was at once turned into q vast horde of sweepers and cleaners and in three days was in condI- tion to be uSed' Dr. Brown said While in the meantime we had the plans drawn for the new structure to be built adjoining it. These plans were completed by the end of the week and the instructor in mechanical drawing, MT. Vernon Douglas, with assistance from other interested parties, had the blue prints ready to turn over to the builders. Within seven weeks the entire new building was ready and the sopho- more classes of about $50 members com fortably settled in the schoolrooms''
 It may be remarked incidentally that these new buildings are really most at tractive in arrangement-big, airy sunny, well lighted rooms, finished neat ly in mission" wood work, neat desks and chairs, blackboards and other school room necessities, are placed advisedly and the entire group of schoolrooms under one roof, connecting balconies Ill pergola style being used for this pur- pose.
 Tn the old dispensary across the street from the medical college a neat little six-room cottage, another group of pu- pills are housed. The pupils themselves. with a wonderful spirit of loyalty and genuine interest, defraYed the expenses of having the little cottage renovated and papered and cleaned up and put :tno comfortable shape. Here several hun dred pupils are enjoying their work.
 Dr. Brown points out the old dissecting rooms of the medical college, which one recalls as being used for many years for such purposes are now being neatly arranged with desks and other school paraphernalia into classrooms in which hundreds of pupils are ensconced.
 I've saved the very best part of the story for the last, and that is the big open lawn back of the new high school building, which is used for assembling

DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS
BY CHARLES f. (CHICK) EVANS JR.

While en- route to an eastern city
In company with my friends. Jim
Barnes Walter Hagen and Jerome Trav-
ers where we were to play Red
Cross match. the conversation drifted
around the old golf question of which
is the hardest club to play. 1t was
interesting to get the point of view of
the professionals on this and ! think
my readers will be interested in an
article on it. The feeling of our little
gathering was pretty nearly unanimous
Certainly some players take natur-
ally to some clubs and hesitate to use
others. Nc doubt every one of my read
ers has some golf friends with a fancy
for a particular club. That club is to
them easiest because for some reason
or other they have developed condolences
in it and possibly because the feel and
balance appeals to them, or because they
have chanced to make some particularly
good shot with it. There is a lot Of
Christian Science in golf. Believing in
the club these players actually do do
better with it. On the other hand if you
begin to question your ability to make
certain shot with a particular club
you can't make that shot. The golf
psychology of it seems to be that your
mind is centered on the doubts and not
on the ball and that can lead to nothing
| but disastrous catastrophy.
