Hugh Hill manager, announced Saturday afternoon that the city of Bir- mingham would spend over s500oo on i'm provements at the city's official play ground this spring.
 We have already started work on the new dance pavilion," said MT. Hill, and believe me, it is going to be the largest and most elaborately decorated structure of it's kind in the south. This building which is being constructed out over the lake alone will cost $20. 900, and have clause in the contract stating that it must be ready for the formal opening of the 1919 season which will be held the last week in April
 MT Hill was also authority for the statement that over 5000 of playground equipment had already been bought for the children visitors and that this would be installed immediately.
 We are building new picnic pavilions for outing parties, said Hugh, "have torn down the few eye-sores, that were left following the general house clean ing we held last spring and are getting ready for the biggest season in the his- tory of the resort
 The giant rolfer-coaster has been re- modelled already and the track extended hundreds of feet. The bathhouse, which was constructed only last spring. did not meet the requirements of the man agement, and it also is to be torn down, with a modern bathhouse constructed with every convenience for devotees of the water sport.
 East Lake is to appear in new dress this spring when the season opens. The Hill regime was so successful last year that the city commission voted to lay in improvements with a lavish hand feeling that nothing was too good for Birmng- ham.

Young People Will
 Erect Reimel Hall
 at Winna Taska
$500 to Be Raised by Young Folks Division of Sunday School AssO-
 citation for This Purpose

The young peoples division of the Bir- mingham Sunday School association has opened campaign among the various Sunday schools for the purpose of raising $500 for the erection of Remel hall on the permanent camp grounds of the as- scciation at Wilma Taska, near Prescott. The building will be a recreational cen ter, office and supply house at the camp, and is badly needed, as there was no place where lectures or social games could be held when it rained during the camp last summer. It will be named in honor of Mrs. F. J. Reimel who died last December and who was largely re- sponsible for the success of the girls camp. She had made many plans for the camp this summer, and it was her idea that there should be such a building. The campaign is being conducted by Harry Denman, young peoples director for the association, and Miss Mary Ma lone, associate worker. Every Sunday school territory in the district will be visited and the pupils of the young peo- ple's division will be asked to contribute. The rural schools are also included in the benefits to be derived from the camp in the summer and are responding most gen. erously to this appeal.
 
 the campaign. stated this was the oppor tunity of the people of Birmingham to assist the girls and boys to get some thing they really need and want. It will help every child in Birmingham who wishes to avail himself of the week s splendid outing in the summer time and take additional instruction in Bible and Sunday school work, which will be re- quired as part of the days routine.
 otvI fnff irxr tions from our friends" said Miss Ma lone. we will be glad to receive indi- vidual subscriptions from people inter- ested in the welfare of our boys and girls. who must be the strength and brain of our country in the future.
 Any one wishing to make subscrip- tion to this cause may do so by sending it to the Birmingham Sunday School as- sociation in the Title Guarantee build irg"

Of Birminghau, Ala. Statement December 31, 1918

The parents of Lieut.. Walter H. Levie, who was killed at Cornay on October g, 1918, while serving with the Eighty-second division. have received the following letter from his commanding officer:
 He was a good soldier, met his end bravely, and died with his face to the foe, whom he helped to over come. We share with you the sor- row of his loss, yet rejoice in the hope of world freedom which was brought nearer by him. We shall always be glad that our division swas honored by his heroism.'
 He was buried at San Juvin Summerance with military honors. Lieutenant Levie was only 29 years of age, and had every prospect of a most successful career before the bar when he enlisted in the first officers training camp at Fort Me- Pherson, Atlanta. He was later transferred to Camp Gordon and sailed for France in May with the famous old Eighty-Second division.
 He was born in Alexander City, and attended school here and in Georgia. He graduated from the University of Georgia and was ad- mitted to the bar. After practicing law in Georgia for two years he re- moved to this city, and was rapidly becoming one of the city's leading young attorneys when the call for patriots came, and he flung down everything to serve his country in her time of need.

AND SONS
 ENJOY BANQUET
Dr. Daniel Makes a Stirring Address on Chivalry to
 Large Gathering

The annual father and son get-to- gether banquet, held at the Southern club last night, was a splendid and com plete success in every way. There was some crowd" present, and each father had a son, and no son was "fatherless.'
 The "eats" were described by the kids as some class,' and the "old men, grizzled(?) and gray-headed fathers beamed full and appreciative approval of their sons description. But then all unanimously agreed that roast turkey with cranberry sauce, June peas, can died vans, ice cream. coffee and cake, all thrown together. made quite a re- past
 R. R. Darden filled the post of toast master with dignity and solemnity," if such terms could describe his position. There were remarks by w. s. Stallings, and short talk on the "Hi-Y" was given by H. C. Buckalew. An addi- tion to the programme was a sh6rt and entertaining talk by Dr. J. T. billiard, pastor of the First Baptist church. The principal speaker of the even ing was Dr. D. w. Daniel secretary of the organization. His speech was on Modern Chivalry." He said in part: "The greatest virtue any man can pos sess is chivalry. Not the old kind, where two knights arrayed themselves in armor and sought to exrerminat~ each others lives with sword unrust for nothing in the world, but the mod : ern kind of chivalry, the kind which makes them polite and considerate, which keeps them clean and straight and keeps them physically as well as mentally healthy.
 You know, the war was not the most serious thing that could happen to this country. It was blessing, blessing in disguise. Just as. out of the wreck and ruin of the old south, after four years of desolating warfare, there sprang up south newer, cleaner and far better than the old one could have ever possibly become, so shall we see our whole moral and social life re- constructed on new plane, z plane where chivalry and courtesy take the leading part.
 This is a grand old city to live in. The influence here is far better and purer than is tv be found in another city of this size. and we are getting it cleaner every day. This in. fluence is just what we want our sons to grow up in. Look around the board tonight, and see the bright and eager faces our our younger members You can read clean living in every line of their faces. and this is only the be- ginning of our reconstruction period
 So. here's to the boys, and to the growing virtue of chivalry."
 The banquet was concluded at 10 o'clock. after many witty toasts had been sprung" and all voted the even Ing one of unparalled enjoyment.

Birmingham is receiving only partial benefit from this act. This building and equipment will enable us to participate to much fuller extent than at present Under the terms of the act these funds are only available for defraying teachers salaries where buildings and equipment are already provided.
 ''The city commissioners and the board of education have agreed to rebuild the high school which burned down some months ago as a two-story vocational school, at cost of approximately $60,- 000 The Alabama Technical association. comprising in it's membership the leading engineers of the district, has undertaken to raise the necessary funds by private subscription to properly equip the build ing with machinery, tools and apparatus so that is may be definitely used for vo- cational training. This action was taken because the city has no funds which can be legally used for this purpose.
 All subscriptions will be handled by the finance committee of the Alabama Technical association, consisting of Frs Kline Ramsay, Martin J. Lide and J. F. Kent
 The city. through the purchase of this equipment by the Alabama Technical association. will gain the benefit of the experience and practical knowledge and disinterested judgment of the best engi- neers of the district, thus assuring judi cious and economical expenditure of all funds. This is a project in which no private individual has any interest other than as a public spirited citizen trying to establish an institution similar to those in successful operation in many other communities
 OPERATED BY SCHOOLS
 After the remodeling of the school building by the city, and it's equipment by private subscription, the entire plant will be operated as part of the Birming- ham public school system.

Of course. you will readily understand that every person of any denomination. or of no denom- ination, is welcome to all the advant- ages of our midweek school, and that there is no charge of any kind con- nected with it.

 COMMITTEES STATEMENT
 Covering the plans for the reconstruc tion and use of the Central High school building the publicity committee, in a statement made public yesterday. says:
 1.-The passage by the Alabama statc legislature last week of an act empower ing the state to obtain the benefit of federal aid granted under the Smith Hughes bill for vocational training is of the greatest importance to the ctiy of Birmingham.
 vocational training, within the scope of the Smith-Hughes act, as applied to this district means the training of our boys and young men in the fundament- al principles of a practical education that will fit them later for useful employment as skilled mechanics, carpenters, print CTS, automobile mechanics blacksmiths, foundrymen, pattern makers, painters, etc.
 During the war the federal govern ment realizing the nations need of mer trained in the skilled trades, passed the h-Hughes act, which provides gov ernment aid for vocational training. This act roughly gives to each state $1 for every dollar that the state itself, or any district in the state, will expend upon vocational training. Our state has ac- cepted the terms of the federal govern ment and agreed to appropriate dollar for dollar with the government towards vocational training in Alabama to match local funds.
 NEED OF SCHOOL
 'The Birmingham district is peculiarly in need of such schools and it now seems possible to get a technical building for this type of work. At the present time

PASTOR TEACHES MISSIONS

"After all of these classes have gone to their respective rooms there will be a miscellaneous collection of peo- pie left. For example, there are hus- bands whose wives are in one of these classes, or vice versa: there are parents whose children are in some class We gather all of these together in the low CT auditorium and the pastor teaches them the principles and practices of modern missions. The purpose of this course is to answer the questions that the ordinary man and woman want to know about the why and the how of our mission work at home and abroad. You would be delighted to see how interested the people are. in this sub- ject The only people that I have found in Birmingham who are uninterested in missions are the ones who are unin- formed, and immediately they get a correct idea of what our churches are trying to do they become enthusiastic in their support of tho same.
 "You might think that with so many classes that the attendance would be small in each one; but this is not true. The attendance is growing every week and the interest is very good. indeed. We have made every plan to make the night helpful and enjoyable one.

 billiard Says

Dr. James E. billiard, pastor of the Southside Baptist church, has outlined a special midweek service, which he has inaugurated at his church, he hav- ing derived his plan from observation and actual experiences.
 In speaking of the plan pr. Dillard said:
 For sometime I have been making a study of the midweek service in va- rious churches in our leading cities. I was recently in one of our greatest southern cities and peeped in on a number of prayer meetings the same evening. One church, with 1900 mem- bers, had 13. Another very large church with a membership of probably 1900 or 1900 had 19. One of my mem- bers said to me few nights ago that I should be proud of my prayer meet ings, for on the Wednesday night pre- ceeding she had visited another prayer meeting in Birmingham and there were only eight members present She said this was one of the largest churches in onr city.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanity!
BY DOCTOR CRIPPs.

It has always seemed to me that
DR.. Pierce. of Buffalo, N. Y, should be
placed near the top when a list OF
Americas great benefactors is written.
He studied and conquered human dis
eases to degree that few realize.
Whenever he found remedy that over
came disease, he at once announced 1t
in the newspapers and told where 1t
could be bought at small price. lie
did not follow the usual custom OF
keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
of each root and herb he used. And
SO to-day the names OF DR.. Pierce and
his medicines are widely known, and
tbev stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little, sugar-coated pills, composed OF
Mavapple, leaves of aloe, root OF ialap-
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after effects, as so many pills do.
VERY often they make a person who
takes them feel like new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
of hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when one is costive.
II YOU are constipated, by all means
20 to your druggist and get some of
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
NAV prove to be the very thing your
system requires to make you well and
happy.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND GRIPPE

ASK any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and
only effective remedy for a bad cold,
sore throat or la grippe is what
he calls "a brisk caIomel purge, "'
which means a big dose of calomel
at bed time. But as the old style
calomel has some very unpleasant
and dangerous qualities physicians
and druggists are now recommend
ing the improved nausealess Gallo
mel, called "Calotabs" which is pu-
ridied and refined from the sicken-
ing and dangerous effects and
whose medicinal virtues are vastly
improved
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water,
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
diet, pleasures or work. Next morn
irg your cold has vanished and your
entire system is purified and re-
freshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price 35 cents.
Your druggist guarantees Calotabs
by refunding the price if you are
not delighted. d.----Adv.
