This en- largement> will contemplate additional fla cilities in every department so that the membership will not be cramped. The record of the association has been one of steady growth and development dur ing the past six years and the present handsome building has been taxed to it's capacity to take care of the members during the past year
 The board of directors have also planned to give without cost to returning sol diers the privileges as long as they wear the uniform. The Birmingham associa. ton was one of the first in the nation to admit free of cost the enlisted men and this policy will be- in vogue during the demobilization period.
