The following from the Montgomery Advertiser will be of interest to Mrs yoopers many friends in this city;
 One of the most beautiful social func-
 ions of the spring was the tea at which Mrs. Hunter Vaughan entertained Tues lay afternon, when she complmented Mrs Thomas E. I<ilby, the charming First Lady of the State, and Mrs. B. H.
 Cooper, an attractive young matron, who has recently come to Montgomery from Birmingham to reside.
 The Vaughn country home, idealyl ar ranged for entertaining, presented most artistic appearance, in it's lavish decora- lions of cut flowers, and the various apartments were filled with their fra granee. In the living room. where the receiving line stood, exquisite color tones of blue and gold were carried out with yellow coreopsis, yellow cannas and great clusters of blue hydrangeas, while yellow tapers burned in brass candle sticks. Mrs. Vaughn received her guests ln a becoming costume of light blue bead ed Georgette crepe, and Mrs. kilby wore A handsome gown of blue and tan chif- Con and hat of black tulle. Mrs. Cooper wore a pretty gown Of flesh colorea Georgette crepe, and a leghorn hat, faced with a delicate pink and trimmed wit lilacs in pastel shades. They all wore eorsage bouquets of pink and white sweet peas.
 In the hall, where the guests were wei comed by Mrs Robert McCaslin and Mrs Britt Matthews, pink roses and pink sweet peas were used. In the dining room, color tones of pink and white pre- vailed, and sweet peas and Mrs. Kilby roses were used. The table, spread with lace mats, hat for it's central decoration, silver epergne, filled with Iilby roses, and sil- yer bon-bon dishes held hints and bon

ID way of introducing Mir. Edward lON F. Shumway, the new War Camp
 Community singer, who arrived Thursday from Galveston, Texas, to take charge of the community sing in Bir- mingham, might tell you lot of things, the first being that MT. Shumways4s big powerful looking man, with big ba- ritone voice. big heart, and a big ambi- tion.
 And secondly" as the preachers say MT. Shumway has all the enthusiasm and optimism in the world when it comes to be living in Birmingham and what can be done for the community sing" here,
 "In the few short hours I've been here. have readily realized the great demand for community singing here. This have gleaned from talking to people who know; the business men. the leaders of various organizations; Mrs. w. J. Adams, Dr. Courtney w. Shropshire, president of the the War Camp Community service. Everybody shows the best sort of spirit of cooperation and I feel sure that Bir' mngham will respond quickly and gladly to the community sing work we havA mapped out.
 "The idea of this War Camp Community department of singing, is of good sales manshp, said MT. Shumway. ITO go into a town and sell to the town com r munity singing so that when the leader leaves the town will like the purchase so well that it will continue it long after the sale has been made.
 1 However, I have come to Birmingham with the idea of being here quite long time," MT. Shumway continued. I was 1 in Galveston for four months and as BIT mingham is a much larger city than Gal weston and there is much larger fleid here, I believe the work will keep me em- ployed here for a long time.
 | "The idea of inaugurating community singing all over the city in every posslpie corner in the factories, the mills the l laundries the bottling works, the shops, | everywhere" said MT. Shumway, will pc
 of great benefit as will soon be seen, Tn
 developing and increasing the 'neighhor- hood spirit; bringing people together who have never known each other before; TOT instance i've seen neighbors, say Mrs Smith and Mrs. Jones, meet at con- munity sing; neither knew the other, soon
 they would begin to sing, one woulc
 glance at the other, then a smile of re- cognition would come and the two would
 immediately strike up an acqualntance and the community sing would promote , strong friendship between two Womet
 who had never known each other before

declare that the efficiency of their peo- pie has been increased at least 40 per cent by the inauguration of community singing among them. In Galveston many of the leading laundries give a recess Of from 20 to 30 minutes a day at stated hours just for the purpose of enjoying lsing.
 You know a smile and a <song IS the best way to drive away dull care, MT. Shumway continued That's why the Smile Song that everybody has been singing for the past few months has oe- come so popular; people love to sing IL and smile.
 "When the great heads of great corpor- ations step down to the level of singing with their employees, Mir Shumway salo, | there is created a beautiful spirit O. comradeship the working people then fec | as if their boss is a real human belns' ] the boss looks about and sees pretty | girls working for him, fine women In ms | employ-handsome men and stalWar' l boys that he never knew worked for nm before. and there is at once established | a spirit of good fellowship between cup ! ta1 and labor.
 "Dr. O. F. Lewis, the great social pri-
 | son worker, gave up a magnificent posi' , tion to accept much less pay, just to go
 into the War Camp Community depart
 ment of singing: he can't sing note him-
 self but he can talk music and thus
 torouse enthusiasm and make people sing
 when others couldn't if their lives de
 pended upon it. He has been tremen-

ish aviators as well. Rayhnam fills his huge tank with every drop of gasoline that it can hold. He r,llS down an in- cline in order to vault into The airsHis undercarriage crumples under hm-a ttifle. And so he must give up the flight for the time being. ~Hawker starts out bravely enough and almost loses his life
 because of trifle-the closing of his radiator.
 The path of the inventor and of the
 technical pioneer is always full of pitfalls
 But surely the development of the flying
 machine to its present transatlantic stage
 of efficiency has been marked by more
 tlfaff the usual obstacles-most of them
 trifles. Read the disheartening accounts
 of their carly work that Chanute, Lang
 ley, the Wrights, and Bleriot have given
 us, and always it appears that some trifle
 obtrudes itself at the critical moment.
 Latham makes two unsuccessful attempts
 at crossing the channel, falling into the
 water because of trifling engine trouble.
 Berot succeeds because of the trifling circumstance that his crude engine, which always balks, actually holds out for once.
 To read of the transatlantic experiences revives our respect for the trifles that had to be overcome before flying became a reality.
 I wonder if Columbus was beset by any
 
 he set sail for Cathay. After all, he had only ignorance to hamper him or to favor him. There are more parts in modern airplane engine than anyone of his cara vels. No trifles could prevent their crude mechanism from functioning, only some magnificent cataclysm, some tidal wave some frightful storm.
 Will it ever be thus? Will the crossing of the Atlantic by airplane be a perpetua struggle with trifles? Hardly One by one the trifling difficulties of the pioneers have been overcome. Engines are better than thev were in the old days when tn | Wright brothers insisted upon makins their own power plant Rarely now dt machines collapse in the air because o some trifling disregard of safety factors The truth is that in aviation there are nt trifles and because that fact is recog
 nized by every modern designer and D. l every modern flyer the perfect transat
 lantic flyer of tomorrow will cleave tn | Atlantic air with the sureness that w l have come to associate with the fast pas senger carrying steamship.

dous factor in the War Camp Community department of singing
 When the eleven War Camp Commun- ity singers-all of us with trained voices many of them splendid artists, appeared in Atlanta at the big vaudeville theater there-occupying two boxes, we asked for an opportunity to sing" MT. Shumway said. We were granted seven>nainutes by the management; it was IS minutes before they would let us stop singing; this of course created a big interest in the War Camp Community sing.
 "Personally, music is nothing new to me- Mir. Shumway said. q have always loved music; I have always studied it; al- though born in Kansas, my mother is a Virginian and I claim Virginia as my na- tive state, yet my musical education started in Kansas City under Prof. George Barlow Penny. Later 1 studied at the Chicago Musical college. I was bass so- loist in Grace Cathedral in Kansas City for three years. During that time our choir gave such magnificent oratorios as The Redemption Elijah, The Hymn Of Praise and other classical selections. For 15 years I was z licensed Chatauquan and then in the meSn time I had my own quartet known as The Shumway Male Quartet and I also sang with The Twen- tieth Century Glee Club
 Today, MT. Shumway said, 'I had the pleasure of shaking hands with Hon. Will liam Jennings Bryan with whom I have often appeared on the same programme, and we chatted of the old days when this happened. Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor was also frequently on the same programme that had the pleasure of appearing on, so you see, I know them all from those of yes- terday to those of today.
 q enlisted when war was first de- clared and was sent to Camp Pike" MT. Shumway said, where I was made army song leader, also of the officers training school. AS soon as the war was over l went into the War Camp Community work For the benefit of those who do not know, I would like to say that the object of community singing is not to mo- ralize in songs, but to cultivate taste for good songs, the old home songs, the clean popular songs of the day, also to 1 get the people to properly singing the old l tunes which they do not know: Dixie, ] 'Oad Folks at Home and the others. Few people know more than the first three ol | four lines of these old time songs anc 1 although the war is over very few people know the words yet of The Star Spanglet
