Thousands Will Take Part in Big Parade to Pre- cede Ceremony Here
 May 15
GRAND LODGE OF
 ALABAMA WILL BE
 IN CHARGE OF DAY
Historic Documents Will Be Placed in Copper Recep- tacle of Corner Stone for
 Future Generations

The need of more commodious post office building in Birmingham has been felt for numbers of years. When Uncle Sam finally decided to recognize this growing city's claims and erect suitable government building there was considerable enthusiasm. When it was made known that the new building would be of magnificent and adequate proportions every citizen was more or less elated. The interest has not slack ened and now that the construction has progressed sufficiently to allow the lay ing of the corner stone, the enthusiasm is greater than ever.
 The handsome 3x5-foot Pastel of the new building now being shown in down town show windows is a source of much happy criticism. This picture was made by local artists from architects plans furnished by the government has been passed upon by the supervising architect of the new postoffice and is faithful presentation of what the building will look like when completed. It is the only authentic drawing of the structure in ex- istence and has been copyrighted.
 Wedn asday, May 15, has been desig- mated as the day for laying the corner stone. The Masons have been awarded the honor of conducting the ceremonies. and fully appreciating it's importance they have decided to make of 1t an oc- casion long to be remembered.
 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NAMED
 Immediately upon assurance of their service being acceptable, representatives of the more than half a hundred blue lodges in Jefferson county met and ap- pointed dn executive corner stone com mittee with power to act. A per capita tax sufficient to cover expenses was levied and in a very short time preparatory work begun. This committee was se- lected from the ranks of prominent and active workers of the order and con- sists of T. G. Brabston, chairman; J. H. Edmondson, secretary; Dr. W. w. Ran som, pr. W. P. McAdory Judge William E. Fort, Hugo L. Black, Frank A. Hewitt and J. D. Matlock. The com mittee, collectively and individually, is meeting with splendid cooperation in their work and the days events prom ise to mark an epoch in Birmingham civic history.
 Besides the chief feature of the day. the actual ceremony of laying the cor ner stone accoding to the interesting

formly dressed in white and the spec
 tacle of thousand or more of them in the line will be inspiring, to say the least.
 ALL TO WEAR BADGES Ten thousand pretty badges have been ordered with which to designate
 the members of the Masonic fraternity on parade. The various lodges will be grouped in line according to seniority,
 each under it's own banner and in
 charge of it's own marshal. J. H. Ed- mondson, secretary of the executive
 committee, has been designated as
 grand marshal of the parade and will
 be assisted by a crops of capable or
 ganizers selected from the various
 county lodges who, knowing their own
 members best will be invaluable in ar ranging the classifications according to lodges.
 Previous to and after the big pa i rade the ladies of the Eastern Star will distribute 1000 pretty multi-colored post cards showing the new postof- flee building as completed. These will
 prove an interesting souvenir of the occasion.
 Wednesday. May 15, being the date selected by Illustrious Potentate Frank c. Shepherd, Jr, for the years great est ceremonial session by Zamora Tem : pie of Shriners, all of whom are blue lodge Masons, of course. the holding of the ceremonial on the same date will but serve to swell the attendance for both events. The potentate has all ready rendered his hearty cooperation and promises to enlist the service of
 Alabama's two other Shrines, Alcazar of Montgomery. and Abba of Mc14f>. Hundreds of Shriners from these two i temples, and from Hamosa Temple at Meridian, will be in the city for the big ceremonial, perhaps with their
 bands, and all will be invited to line up in the great parade. Potentate Shepherd says his part of the enter tainment shall be made the "end of a perfect day"
 Superintendent J. s. Gray U. S gov ernment representative in charge Of the construction here, is very gracious ly rendering every assistance to the executive committee in preparing for the corner stone ceremony and promises
 that the high fence about the corner
 of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street
 shall be temporarily removed and an
 elevated platform of ample propor-
 tions erected about the spot for use
 of the grand lodge officers, speakers
 and committees. He has assisted at
 many similar ceremonies during his
 service with Uncle Sam and his sug-
 gestions are being very cordially re-
