THE VALUE OF A COLLEGE-By Frank Willis Barnett

many problems before them, financial, denominational and national. before they made their plans to strive to bring about conditions through the two conferences looking to the establishment of one great college for men in Birmingham by talk ing over the Southern university at Greensboro. It was a question which had been for years a devisive one be- tween the Alabama and the north Ala bama conferences
 I am not competent to enter into all of the steps which led up to the final step which was taken when the two bod les reached an agreement whereby the union is to be an accomplished fact provided the terms be met as set out by the conferences. I was present at Wood lawn and Dothan when the leading men of the two conferences met in debate and. like good Methodists. threshed out the whole matter like men of good will And just because heard it all is one reason am so interested that Birming- ham shall .be properly financed.
  Now the drive is on for $1oo,ooo (al- ready large sum has been subscribed) but this $1o0.ooo is to be raised in ex- cess of what private subscriptions have been made. It has at present an en- dowment of $1oo.ooo. It has library of about 10000 volumes. It has some splendid buildings and some valuable battery equipment It has 40 acres of land. The united college will begin with net assets of over $50o.ooo, with an an nual income of between $2o,ooo and sso.ooo.
 Now get this. Besides getting valua- ble equipment and large endowment funds from the Southern university, it will receive perpetual annual income

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

A wife cannot understand why her husband is the last one to want to go home when he is out with the gang, and is the first one to want to go home when he is out with her.
 It is too bad that a married man isn't half as well satisfied with his wife as he is with himself. How contented he would be if he was!
 Summer and winter women are always complaining because they have nothing to wear. But in summer they go ahead and wear it.
 You can always tell a strong minded woman by the way it keeps her hair out of curl.
 Before he gets an auto a man kicks because the dad-blasted devil wagons arc not restricted to three miles per hour. And after he gets one he kicks because motor cars are restricted to 30 miles per hour
 A boy always gets the worst of 1t in the home where the mother is the boss. Father has to show his authority in some way, and he takes it out on the kid.
 Don't tell the mother of triplets that
 there is no such thing as perpetual mo- ton. She is almost certain to call you a wall eyed liar.
 MaTTleu l1Iee may pe one Sidliu sweet song during the honeymoon. But later on it resolves itself into soprano solo. This is a mean old world. If a man sees you coming out of a church he will tell people that it is the first time he ever saw you coming out of church. But if he sees you coming out of . aloon he will tell peo&ble that every time he sees you. you are coming out of a saloon.

Let's Have a Wider
 Distribution of Loan

PN NREASURY officials have been
 U wise in repressing optimistic
 estimates of Third Liberty Loan sub
 scriptions. They have urged all cam Ipaign workers to do their best and to
 continue their efforts until the gov
 ernment cried, "Stop!" They have
 even intimated that the reports from
 the country at large were unsatis- factory.
 But notwithstanding the treasury departments policy to keep down overconfidence, there need be no ap- prehension on the part of the patri- otic public about the Third Liberty Loan going lover the top" |, Not many cities will make the show ing that Birmingham has made. It's splendid record has been an inspira-
 tion to other communities, and the people here have a right to rejoice in their achievement.
 The thing now most needed is a wider distribution of the loan among the masses of people of small means.
 Every man and woman who earns a Livelihood can afford to buy $5O- bond. And the greater the number of bonders the more pervading and the more vitalizing will be the country's $ patriotism.
 Let's have mighty drive this week on the line of bond subscriptions for the small denominations.

Booths are all along Fifth avenue Mammoth liherty bells have been put all about the ci2S, leading actresses and prominent women are speaking every where. and this afternoon eighteen thou sand New York national guardsmen pa. raded up Fifth avenue.

 Led by Mrs. Frank vanderlip the women of the country have adopted one-piece serge dress designed by an American tailor-made man, so to speak, for the women of this country to wear.
 There is to be no mourning, as we have in the past understood it, but bands are to be worn on the sleeves as men wear such. The dress is of good style and the manufacturers are to begin distributing them very soon.
 The first model was shown yesterday and every Birmingham woman today in New York has put in an order.
 southerners are here in great num- bers to bid adieu to the thousands of soldiers from the southern camps who are encamped hereabouts to sail any day that the transports be ready.
