men--a vast concourse of enthusiastic auditors.
 After a few felicitous words of greet . ing, Judge Locke requested that the plat. form be- occupied by the college faculty, by the speakers chosen for the occasion, and by the unification commissioners. "America" was heartily sung by the vast crowd, and prayer was offered by Rev, J. F. Price of the Alabama conference.
 Judge Locke caught the crowd at the start when he so happily sensed the spirit of the occasion. He spoke of the dreams of Methodsm for a great educa- tional institution Speaking of the two, conferences and colleges, he said: We have united legally and we have united in sentiments and dreams, and purpose here to have an institution that will bring realization of our dreams. This is as much the Southern university as it is Bir- mingham college The mission of this college is to train young men and women for their life work. There is nothing moro important in education than to keep students in touch with the vital spirit of religion.

 WAR EXHIBIT MAY BE BROUGHT HERE FOR STATE FAIR Secretary Fenimore Gets Message From War De pertinent Regarding
 Collection

through the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce the war exhibit prepared by the government -for exhibiting at state fairs will probably be at the State Fair. next month.
 This exhibit contains uniforms guns. munitions, helmets and equipment of all kinds brought back from the battlefields or France for the purpose of showing to the people of this country the charac- ter of supplies and munitions used in the great world war Five or six cars were fitted out with these exhibits and started on the circuits of the different fairs The one coming here, if it does come. when it leaves Birmingham will have been shown at Erie, Pa. Columbus. D.; Indianapolis. Louisville, Nashville, Memphis and Birmingham.
 ONLY OBSTACLE
 Sometime ago the question of bring ing the exhibit here was suggested ana the State Fair association and the war department had considerable correspond ence over the matter. President R. A. Brown of the fair association and other officials were anxious to have the ex- hibit as one of the attractions, but in order to accommodate it concrete floor had to be built in one of the buildings. This has been done.
 The chief obstacle that has been in the way of the exhibit coming, however has been that of expense. The war de- partment demanded as prerequisite that the fair association pay the transporta- tion charges from Memphis to Birming- ham and the salaries of the employees from the time they leave Memphis until they leave here The. Alabama associa- ton also was required to pay the trans portaton charges from Birmingham to Washington. this being the last city scheduled for the trip.
 The Alabama State Fair association readily agreed to pay expenses from Memphis to Birmingham and also while here, but they refused to pay the trans portation expenses from Birmingham to Washington. Only short hauls had to be made to reach the other cities and the management of the State Fair contended that it would be unjust to tax them with freight charges for distance of over 1000 miles-from Memphis to Birmingham and Birmingham to Washington-when none of the other cities had been re- quired to pay the freight on greater dis tance than 200 miles.
 KENMORE GETS ACTION
 The State Fair management and the war department being unable to come to an agreement. Secretary P. A. Fenimore of the Chamber of Commerce took the matter up and yesterday he received a telegram from Washington stating that arrangements satisfactory to all parties could be made for bringing the exhibit here The war department, it is under stood, has receded from it's demand .tlla. the State Fair association pay the freight charges from Birmingham to Washing ton. the only condition that has hitherto sto6d in the way of showing these war relics in Birmingham during the fair.
