TICKETS IN DEMAND !. FOR MASS MEETING AT THE JEFFERSON
Many Noted Speakers on the Programme of the Initial Meeting of United War
 Work Campaign

Unless other public meetings beside the mass meeting for women at the Jefferson theatre Monday afternoon , and one for men only at 7:S0 that evening are arranged, many who wish to hear Gypsy Smith and other speak CTS who have been at the battle front speak on the first united war work campaign will be disappointed The applications for seats in the theatre for the two meetings is far in excess of the capacity of the house, and in- terest in the men and the subject upon which they are to speak is unlimited in patriotic Birmingham.
 Admission will be by ticket and these will be distributed by the coin- manders of the allied armies in Jeff ferson county. This course was adopted to give assurance that no vis- itor who is interested in the seven war camp agencies shall fail to hear the message that Gypsy Smith, Borden Burr Miss Katy Boyd George and Capt George $. Dingle will deliver to the people of this state. The home people are giving way to those from other points where few opportunities are afforded to hear the national war work speakers
 
 will give concert at the opening of the mass meeting for ladies at S:S0 o'clock Monday afternoon, and will re- peat the performance at the meeting for men that evening at the same play house.
 State Chairman w. Carson Adams is endeavoring to arrange two public meetings for Tuesday at which a greater number of Birmingham peo- pie may be given the opportunity to hear Gypsy Smith and the other dis tnguished speakers from over the seas.
 The tentative programme for the state convention which will meet at the Tutwiler hotel Monday morning g and adjourn Tuesday afternoon after holding four sessions shows that Tt. Rev Edward F. Allen of the diocese of Mobile is expected to speak on the war work of the Knights of Columbus at the Monday morning session, and Rabbi Morris Newfield of the Temple Emanu-El will address the afternoon session on the work of the Jewish well fare board. Other distinguished rep resontatives of the various organiza- tions have been given prominent places on the convention programme.

Murray Brown, Jefferson county chairman of the fourth Liberty Loan, is giving to the dear public unconsciously a secret that he has refused to divulge for some years that is, why his head Is bald. The most evident reason is that it is place where ideas are man. ufactured. and not merely block of wood where moss gathers.
 Then, too, Murray Brown has Erskine Ramsay and Buster Brown for his shack mates out on Highland avenue, and the lone someness of this bachelor ranch naturally causes men with hair less heads to wonder why they are not rocking cradles and walking floors, so Murray thinks up new one every time he gets lonesome
 Here Is his latest one;
 "YOurs for the Fourth Liberty Loan."
 Murray says tag this on your letters--nO matter who you are writing to-even ssshe' would not mind-and Murray ought to know,

for he looks experienced, and they do say he Is.
 Tell 1t to your customers--your prospective customers. your friends and your acquaintances-eve time you see the mail tag that on as the grand finale. "Yours for the Fourth Liberty Loan." It would perhaps not set we'll with father, if son or daughter penned those lines from college-but then 1t might go Over--you can't tell what n patriotic dad will do.
 Murray says that Tom Edison manufactured the idea and he is going to drive it home. He wants every citizen in Birmingham and Jefferson county to feel the inn portance of this "wind-up" nt- tached to every letter mailed out. It will soon set, and once the die is cast, 1t will crystalize Into sentiment that will make the fourth Liberty Loan as popular and wrigley as spearmint chewing gun, and as staple as the gold dust twins.
