 TAG DAY
 The support of the Boys club is en- tirely dependent on subscriptions, except the proceeds of Tag Day. which method of obtaining funds was inaugurateo about 12 years ago by Mrs. w. D. Nes- bitt, then president. This has been an annual affair since that time, and this year the club has the proud distinction of being the only organization granted permission by the city commission to hold a Tag Day, which will be held on Saturday, March 15. and no more worthy cause than this will be presented to the good people of Birmingham to show their appreciation and lend encour- agement by liberal contributions to this home and club for our boys.
 The board of control extends a most cordial invitation to the public to visit the club rooms and see the good work being accomplished and the pleasure that is being derived at comparatively nom- inal expense. It is planned to open branch clubs at Avondale. West End and East Lake, and if possible to do so to provide, during the summer months. play grounds in connection with them. While the initial purpose of the Boys club was to, care for it's newsboys and messenger boys it has branched out and taken in boys from every walk in life and it's club rooms are used at stated times by the Boy Scouts. Sunday School , association and the Independent Presby- terian Sunday school. The men directly in charge are Gordon Smith, director; Malcolm Watkins, Third avenue and w. L. Lindsay, Twenty-ninth street club. The Boys club has toiled as an un- seen laborer for more than 20 years. and pages would be required to enumerate the good this organization has done for homeless boys who have entered it's doors. Everyone understands that busi- ness and professional men have little spare time, but some day when you are | feeling as if the world was all wrong | just drop in at the Boys club and see the little fellows at work or at play and | you will be only too glad to lend your support and give these kiddies chance ] to become real men. The visit will do you good. so don't put it off.

Gee, but you can have good time at the Boys club" exclaimed one little fellow after spending an afternoon there. and this is the way everyone who has ever visited this club feels about it. Fur thermore, when a boy visits the club once he invariably becomes a regular attendant and spends more of his time there, where he can enjoy the many sports with other boys.
 Although the public las been called upon many times during the past few months for various causes, and has lib- orally supported movements for the re- lief of war orphans or given donations to Christmas ships for kiddies in foreign lands, the young boys of our own city should not be forgotten. There are "kid- dies" right here in Birmingham who need your support. and sympathy, for you cannot expect them to become true, loyal citizens without educational and spiritual training. Many of these boys are members of the Boys club, an or ganization the people hear very little of, but due to the splendid possibilities and the good work at present being done, deserves earnest attention, LOT all lHleT- esting story surrounds it's organization and the work that is being accomplished.
 MOVEMENT STARTED
 Realizing the necessity of providing an organization to care for the news boys of the city, a movement was started about 20 years ago by the Woman's 8 Christian Temperance union, of which Mrs John Knight was president and quarters were opened at the city hall. Judge William Horton was its first presi- dent and the board of directors was com posed of Mrs w. H. Jeffries. Mrs John White, Mrs. c. B. Spencer, Mrs. Lloyd Guice Mrs l.. J. Haley, Judge Feagin and Judge Horton. Starting with it's membership derived from the newsboys of the city, the messenger boys were then taken in by the club. With this as a nucleus the membership has grown until at the present time there are more than 400 members.
 From the first quarters in the city hall the club rooms were moved to Third avenue between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets, it's present

In addition to this the club has leased a two-story frame structure ad- joining and have several bedrooms equipped to be used for the care of boys without money coming to Birmingham, and provides for them a temporary home until able to take care of themselves.
 In the main club rooms the members are given courses in carpenter work, cob bling electrical and other practical in struction, and since the Hoover kitchen was established they have had the privi- ege of attending the cooking classes taught by Miss Armstrong. Another drawing feature of the Boys club is athletics, and this season they have had a splendid basket ball team that has engaged the other teams of the city and vicinity of like age with only two de- feats
 BRANCH CLUBS
 The club owns Victrola, have piano and a Glee club has now been organized and is proving an attractive feature. The work was growing to such an extent that a branch club was organized and opened for the benefit of the boys on the Southside. This club was located on Twenty ninth street, but just after the United States entered the war the branch club was closed and has just recently been reopened. This branch has a splendid building but practically no equipment at present, although the Southside chap ter is planning, under the efficient lead ership of it's president Mrs. William E. Larkin, to do many things for the club and the boys of that section of the city.
 From this brief sketch of the Boys club the public will at once appreciate the great work that is being done for the young boys of the city and the flu ture possibilities. if given the proper sup port and encouragement. From meagre beginning of 20 years ago it has steadily grown to an important institution and deserves every possible recognition. Much credit for the progress of the institution is due to the efforts of Mrs. Vassar Al len, it's president, and the board of con trol, consisting of the following vel known women: Mrs. Victor Prowell, Mrs c J. Palmer, Mrs. R. c. Woodson, Mrs Frank Rushton, Mrs. King. Mrs. U. J w. Peters, Mrs George H. Clark, Mrs IC. J. Barnes, Mrs. Dan Dimick, Miss Sallie Blach, Mrs. Saunders and Mrs w. B. Iamkin.
