Most people in Birmingham remember the little lad who answered the big man. kindly inquiry about Lawyer Banks with the emphatic information, My father is not no lawyer. He's jNdgeH Today the e-judge's son is a big man himself, whose little daughter, were it her, priv ilege to talk in any but cooing baby lingo, might inform you My father isn't named Mister. He's Maj. l.. Fraser Banks. Every inch of him a soldier, too, major or no major, but he has come back home with the Sammies, to the work he loves best for the boys and girls of Birmingham.
 Just visit the principal of the Martin school in his office if you don't believe he is interested in America s future citi- zenship If you expect to find him in a nice little "sanctum sanctorum, to be disturbed only in cases that appeal to the supreme court, you'll be disappont ed. I found three perspiring, happy urchns in this office blowing up basket ball yesterday when went to talk with him about some other boys and girls, old and young. of the First Presbyterian Sunday school.
 we have one of the 1iveliest Sunday schools of the city. ,Mr. Charles R. Plosser is the wide-awake superin- tendent, and as his assistant have charge of the detail work of the school" said Major Banks

 Every one of the superintendents of de- partfnents will be glad MT. Banks said this Mrs. Schultz. for example, who, with her teachers, is doing such boom ing business" in the beginners depart ment, her head must ache every Sunday trying to fit
 "Sue in her small corner,

 Ony the blessed babies require no room to speak of. They are the little wall flow ersl forget me-nots think. whose names are kept on the cradle roll by their su- perintendent, MT. Stubbns, and hung on the wall of the Sunday school in token of the future membership of the First Presbyterian church.
 BIG PRIMARY ENROLMENT
 Then there is Mrs F. H. Twining, the busiest superintendent you can im- agine, trying to keep a crowd of small boys and girls from brimming over the corner for primaries. into the main auditorium, where they have to be so quiet every Sunday while their pastor, Dr. MacSporran, breaches. In Mrs. Twinng's department there are 20 more children than were enrolled last year, and they are just as busy as bees now getting ready for White Christmas.
 Mrs. Walter Carters little folk are busy, too, about White Christmas. for which they can hardly wait" Major Banks told me. Now this lady has if you know Mrs, Carter, you know something of her 50 children from 9 to 12 years of age. and about those splen- did teachers who are helping

The most responsive and enthusiastic children you ever saw. was so proud of them last Sun day" she said, when 20 of them re- cited by divisions and groups the books of the Bible, and received the award of the rainbow book marks, the colors of which represent each group of books"
 The Rainbow division is destined Ito go ovef the top" today, too, when the Juniors will participate in a<programme for the entertainment of the entire Sunday school. Mrs. Carter is plan- ming to center the interests of her de- partment in the Presbyterian Mission established at Ensley for immigrant work.
