.UPSHAW SPEAKS
 ON AMER|CAN|SM
Says Roman Catholics Should Become "Ameri-
 can" Catholics

Declaring that the Roman Catholics should cease to be Roman and should become American Catholics, Congress man William D. Upshaw of Georgia. before large crowd in Wilson park last night. spoke on The Americanism That Will Save America"
 In introducing the speaker. Judge Horace Wilkinson said: "The purpose of ths meeting is to decide on the im- portant question of whether the Roman Catholics of the country are to domi-i nate politics. Congressman UpsaawI has come to Birmingham upon a spe- ciai invitation to speak on the sub- jecr His wide travels and place in Congress make him an authority on what he is about to say"
 Amerlcanism. sad Congressman Upshaw, 'is a word that is on every lip. It is not just catch phrase, but word full of meaning. America has vital relations with other countries of the world. The man who thinks that Americans can close up this courtryf and tell the rest of the world to go to the devil needs to learn that America can no more live by itself than could China shut out the world without in < ternal stagnatfon and political death.
 The Americanism that will save. Sh1erlca must consist of four things~ The real American must be intelligent. must be sober. unselfish and loyal 1 believe that the school teachers should be given more money for attending to that important work. educating our boys and girls. OuA country must have educated men and women if it. Is 10 continue to be the inspiration of the world. And l believe that no school should be permitted to educate our young tsat will not open its doors to, public inspection.
 The real American must be unself- isl. It was selfishness that prompted the Kaiser to reach osr and attempt to grasp Belgium. It is seIfishness that IS behind all profiteering in the coun- try. The American snould be willing to don overalls to rscuce the cost of clothing in the country.
 The real American should be sober, He should not be blinded by the plea for the return of light wines and beers Tor the stomach's sake This is only a sham by which red, whisky will be brought back.
 loya I believe that America should close it's gates to immigrants. I be- lleve that some system should be de- VlSed whereby every alien who has made his fortune in tnis land, and yet refuses to swear allegiance to our flag should be hunted out and made to kiss the flag or return to his coun- try And l believe that the Roman Catholics should see that they are liy- ing under the flag of Italy in America. If these Catholics should cease to be Roman Catholics and become American Catholics. then they could be loyaI Americans"

MRS. THORNTON ON WORK AT HAMILTON Tells How Awful Storm Rallied Entire Community
 Into Relief Workers
OF BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Statement May 4, 1920.
 RE ESOITPCEC

Mrs. R. J. Thornton, visiting secretary home service section A. R. C., who has been in Marion county ever since the first day of the storm, yesterday dis cussed the situation in northwest Ala bama
 Mrs. Thornton stated that although it has been more than two weeks since the tornado made its way through Marion. Franklin and Winston counties there IS much work yet to be done in the storm stricken country. There are still some patients in the temporary hospital at Hamilton being cared for by the Red Cross nurses. Six patients who were noi doing well are now m the different infirmaries at Birmingham.
 "A detail of four young men from the national guard are still on duty in Marion county" said Mrs Thornton. ''These boys have done and are still rendering splendid service. Thousands of dollars for cotton, corn, cane and velvet bean seed has been purchased for the farmers who lost their all, and these soldiers are distributing these seed to the ones who are now ready to begin again on this years crop.
 Mrs. Thornton states that vast amount of work has been done by the national guard boys. the Salvation Army, the Red Cross workers and the splendid volunteers. The people in the storm dis trct have shown a wonderfully unsetf- ish spirit They are not down-hearted Those who were not hurt by the storm have given their homes and their time to those who were less fortunate While the storm was one of the worst that has ever occurred, it has made true the say , ing: Ut is an i'll wind that blows no one good" for in this instance the peo- rfe have beea brought nearer together ana have been showa that they really are cared for by their fellowmen.
 "One of the saGdest instances that l witnessed" said Mrs. Thornton, among all the ones up in Marion county was on last Saturday. MT. Cooper quite an elderly man, whose wife was killed in the storm. and all of his possessions de- stroyed. his only son and little grand daughter were injured but as all were better the nurses dismissed them from the hospital Dr. Johnson. knowing that the elder Mir. Cooper had no place in the world called home to go to, took him to his own home and wanted him to stay. He ate supper with the Johnsons but in short while was missing. On mak- ing search for the old man he was found back at the courthouse up in the temporary hospital asleep on one of the cots Mrs T-- asked him why he did not stay with his friends. The tears came to his eyes and he said that he felt more at home there than anywhere else as there is where he had been ever since his wife had been taken. We let the old man stay and he was still there when I left Hamilton, but of course he will have to leave very as it will not be long now before the courthouse will be no longer hospital

OUTDOOR SING IS
 WELL ATTENDED Large Crowd In Attendance at Community Sing at
 Capitol Park

With the largest crowd that has been present in months, the first outdoor com munity sing. held yesterday in the Wood- row Wilson Park. was pronounced to be a huge success.
 The plan of having the sings in the open during the hot months was inaugu- rated by those in charge in an effort to attract the people who flock to our parks on Sunday afternoon. The plan was sue ces sful, nearly 2,0O0 people being present yesterday
 The sing was under the direction of Hollis E. Davenny, who has been brought to Birmingham from Washington, D. c. It was to his ability as song leader that the success of the sing in no small measure was due.
 It is planned to have Wilson Park as the permanent home of the sings and to fit it for these gatherings, efforts will be made to roof over part of the amphi- theatre as a protection against the sun and rain. As soon as possible band will be secured. Due to a new regulation of the Musicians Union that no less than seventeen pieces shall play in band, the expense of this feature of the sings will be heavy.

 Music lovers who have heard Miss Pom selle. both in New York at the Metro politan and in Atlanta during the re- cent season of opera, are enthusiastic in their prase of her lovely voice, and when the Scotti Opera Company was here last week every member of the com pany who expressed an opinion about Ponselres voice. from MT. Scotti to the conductor. MT. Peroni, extravagantly praised the beauty of Miss Ponselles S voice. something rare with artists, as they are not usually given to praising rival artists
