 Laymen Interested in Meeting
 'Presbyterian laymen of Birmingham are keenly interested in the meeting to be held at the Young Mems Christian as sociation Monday night at o'clock, said Commissioner John R. Hornady. The purpose of the conference is to talk over the situation at the Alabama Pres- byterian College for Men at Anniston President David Park will be present as will almost all the members of the board Of trustees, including Dr. Thornton Whaling of Columbia, s. C.; Dr. l. F. Scott of Montgomery The conference will shape up the Anniston proposition for presentation to synod, in Tuscaloosa, next week.
 "The Anniston college has made re- markable showing the few ontlls it has been under the leadership of pr. Park, formerly of the Fairfield church. pr. Park has gathered together a capable | faculty, he has increased the attendance he has improved the financial situation, so that all in all the report the trustees make to synod will be most encouraging. 1 It is the belief of the leaders that the l time has come for the synod to get whole -heartedly behind the Anniston in- stitution. Birmingham laymen can help most right at this time by attending the meeting Monday night and showing by their presence an encouragement to the institution Of course, all the men in Birmingham who are interested in this work are invited to attend" 1 Miss Rowly Presents Song 1 "One of the interesting incidents of the recent visit of the societe des con- certs du conservatoire de Paris" said Simon Klotz, French counsul, twas the presentation of her song, 'Verdun They Shall Not Pass by Miss Daisy Row1y to M. Andre Messager, chef dorches- tre His graciousness in receiving it and his evident delight at being so charm ingly remembered was genuine, and I have never seen g. more cordial accep- tance of anything.
 Miss Rowlys song, by the way, is dedicated to the Paris archestra, and this feature pleased M. Messager very much. He promises to give it a rendition, so hear. Birmingham is proud of Miss Rowley's accomplishments and especial ly proud of her song, Verdun' She nobly gave it this name and They Shall Not Pass has resolved itself into They Did Not Pass now that victory is ours"

 Street Solicitors Deserve Praise
 q think the women workers who have stood on the corners to help put over the united war drive deserve a great Ideal of praise,' said Joe Loveman. for it is no pleasant task to stop the pass lers-by and solicit a contribution. Tt is true that they are treated. as a rule, with extreme courtesy, but it's a lsure enough hard job and requires both physical and moral stamina to keep at 1t when feet are tired and the job loses its novelty
 ! 'PIain RilP Brandon Here
 Tt cannot be said of Bill Brandon Ithat he was conference attendant only before his candidacy" said pr. Lovelady,
 for he was on hand all this session.
 The truth of the business is he was ljust brought up in conference atmos- phere and he has been in touch with what the Methodists have done since his early childhood. The Brandon family have played large part in Alabama Methodism.
