His advice to the children included the

If you watch out for them.
But always be on the lookout for joy
riders or auto speeders: they arc not
likely to take time to look out for you.
DO not play on street where there is
heavy auto traffic; find other streets
where your sport will not be stopped SO
often and where you will not have to be
continually listening for auto horns
Look out for motor cycles look both

France and England, showing that the
conviction among the allies is that the

 It is stated that the Alabama state council session to be held here next week will find the order in better shape than ever before. Its growth has been steady the past few years. and while 1t yet is weak numerically compared with some other orders in the state. largely from lack of publicity. there is much impetus being given in the direction of organization and those conversant with the order say it will continue to double its strength an nually for some years to come.
 One of the chief matters that will come before the state council is the proposal to make Birmingham the per- manent meeting place of the state body and the state headquarters.
