WHITES CHALLENGE REDS ID CONTEST
 IN |. OF |. DRIVE
One Thousand Members Se- cured in Two Days-Sur- vey of High School Pu-
 pills Interesting

Past the halfway mark in two days Of six-day campaign is the record of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce membership drive. Additions to the re- ports made before the close of yester- days luncheon meeting of the teams in the Tutwiler hotel ballrom brought the total for Monday and Tuesday to 1o0l, 4SO being the final figure for Tuesday, compared with 570 for Monday
 The best feature of the meeting, how ever in the opinion of the campaign committees, was the fact that the fighting blood" of the teams was aroused Chap" Hodges. leader of the white group, openly challenged the reds under command of W. J. Adams to maintain the leading position A single day longer, and then w. c. Bonham, deflant of the handicaps his group of blues has had to contend with, jumped in with another challenge to the whites.
 This set the three groups to cheer ing for their leaders and themselves and today is likely to be up to the standard of the first day for results
 Mrs. H. E. Pearce, captain of the business and professional womens team carried off one of the chief honors of the day when she reported 12 mem berships secured as the result of IA calls, and each application was accompanied by the first years dues paid in ad- vance. Nine of the 12 are women.
 BROWNELL HEADS
 Individual honors also went to the teams of Ted Brownel. with 9; S. D Crawford, with 20; Clarence Lloyd, with 19, and Ed Warren, with Is,
 Through the cooperation of Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of the Birming- ham public schools, the music yester- day was furnished by the Central high school band. The boys occupied one of the balconies and their music was so good that they were cheered repeatedly and then the workers gave them and pr. Phillips hearty vote of thanks
 It being kiwanis day, R. A. Porter, vice president of the club, presided. The attendance of Kiwanians was large for it included those members of the club who are working for the Chamber of Commerce as well as those who never miss club luncheon.
 Todays luncheon will be in honor of the Rotary club. President M w. Bush will preside. The chamber teams in clude large number of Rotarians, and plans have been made for a big at- tendance.
 The luncheon talk yesterday was built around the result of the survey made few days ago in the Central and Ems ley high schools In this Dr. Phillips took great interest and gave much assistance, as did the principals, Dr. Charles A. Brown and E. E. Smith The talk was made by pr. N. R. Baker, county superintendent of schools
 Four questions were asked of the students: What occupations they hoped to follow, whether they preferred to re- main in Bii mingham, what the Cham Der of Commerce could do to benefit them, and what 1t could do for the well fare of the city,

ONE OF THE SEVENTEEN

The feature of the gathering was the eloquent and timely speech of Rev. John Inzer, formerly pastor of the Avondale Baptist church, more re- gently chaplain in the army and at present a Mobile pastor. MT. Inzer made one of the most stirring speeches at the caucus in St. Louis He is one of the IT members of the national executive committee Of the American legion.
 'The American legion does not want to get anything from the government" said MT. InZer. "It will give something to the American government It will exercise most powerful influence in the life of this country and will rem edy those evils that might threaten US with more strife.
 When we reached France we found that we had the wrong kind of shoes, the wrong kind of uniforms, the wrong kind of supplies and many other things that were wrong. But the American men did not say they would quit De- cause they did not have what they ought to have had. And they did rot stop because things went wrong back home. They said, We'll win this fight, then we'll go back home and straight en out the kinks And that is just what this OryauiZation will do

More than 1000 people thronged

maus Irish playwright, address the
Drama league on "My Own Lands"
The lands he referred to are not
the lands across the sea, from
where Lord Dunsany comes. They
are not lands reached by ships, or

known only to the dreamer. the

Medical Circles Greatly In

: Patient With Spine
\, Broken.

Council Bluffs and Omaha medical
circles are greatly interested in a
case of triple fracture of the spine,
causing complete physical paralysis
of the sufferer, and his recovery
and discharge from the hospital 10
weeks after the accident. The man
was X-ray"d by medical men in DIR.
Billiards. Office. Omaha, prior to his
departure for Kansas yesterday.
Ten weeks ago Edward Is. Jork-
gren, inspector at the Transmissis-
sippi elevator. Council Bluffs. fell 4
distance of Is feet, striking in a sit
4ing posture. He was picked up ut
terly helpless and taken to Mercy
hospital where an X-ray examina-
ton made an hour after showed that
his back had been broken in three
places one fracture and two dislo-
cations. The 18th vertcbra was
shivered and driven upon the 18th,
the dislocations making two

Purpose of Business.
Lord Dunsay raised the question
of the purpose of business. He
argued that it keeps us from death,
that it provides food and shelter.
But after that is done, rs it better
to produce food than a play; better
to make a walking stick than to
write lyrics; better to make any
thing you can put i'll your hands
and get tired of and exchange for
money than something that will
create happiness, and pleasure, or
that will give us for a monument a
glimpse of the great beyond:"
This man of six feet two seated
himself at this point and read one
of his plays, THE Queens Enc
miles," in which the scenes are laid
in Egypt in the sixth dynasty. The
queen, so delicate in spirit that she
could not bear to have enemies,
did not hesitate at the right moment
to invoke the Nile in very prac-
teal way to cover the offenders
who were banqueting with her.
When asked why he allowed the
queen thus to deceive and kill, Lord
Dunsay replied that it was because
she could not bear to have enemies.
He concluded with a short story
"The Assignation" in which Fame
makes an appointment with the
hero for 100 years ahead in the
vicinity of the graveyard.
