This phase of uni- versity work is comparatively new, hav- ing been in effect only about three years and, according to pr.

 New Members-Credit Plans

The campaign inaugurated by the Retail Grocers and Butchers Assocla- tion to double the membership of that organization by January 1 is meeting with encouragement on every hand, ac- cording to E. c. Apperson. membership secretary. He states that not only are new members being enrolled daily. hut many former members of the organi- ration who had dropped their member ship in the past are coming back into the organization.

Through facilities pro- vided by the organization. merchants are able to keep track of delinquent customers who remove from one neigh borhood and seek to establish credit in another.

For the Good of

o untidiness, so are they delighted when they are greeted with something really nifty, tasteful and of completeness as to the harmonies.
 The wonder about the niceties is their small cost. A polished pair of shoes is a matter of ten cents. A smooth chin is the labor of ten to fifteen minutes with a safe ty razor A clean handkerchief is the time involved in going down into the bureau drawer and getting one out. Some of the best dressed men spend the smallest amount for clothes A woman of taste and niftiness is discernible at a glance whether behind store counter or in Packard car leaning back on plush cushions
 Tidiness is psychological Where one wants it, it exists. Where the habit of un- tidiness maintains, all the money in the world fails to provide for it.
 Out on twenty y-second street and Ave- nue H is a new auto filling station. It is a thing of beauty joy forever.
 The construction is in open pagoda style with long flowing lines. The pillars and sides are of red brick of brilliant hue. This ruddiness is tempered by roof of green tile
 The station occupies but small DOT tion of the lot on which placed. The re- mainder is a green terraced lawn with one or two pretty flower beds. The fence around the two sides is neat and trim The whole is artistic.
 One feels better each morning for pass ing by this very superior combination of the useful and the beautiful. The thought occurs to him. s'Why is not this oftener done? The cost is so paltry the effect so gracious to thee and so pleasing to the sensibilities." &
 The equipment is made complete by the installation of comfort stations for men and for women. That did not cost a great deal; nothing compared with the service that is rendered. ~
 There are other filling stations in the city that lend attraction to the passerby as we'll as to their customers. The one re- ferred to is simply the last word in this kind of construction, and there will be many others like it.
 Even one-story storehouse may be constructed with an eye to harmony in form and color. This is being done in parts of the city. On the >southside there is row of these stores made of white and green glazed brick with graceful combi- nations of the two colors The glazed brick cost trifle more than the common. The increased rent will more than recoup for the brick.
 This tidiness runs deeper than it seems : It certainly is true that though beauty may sometimes be only skin deep, ugli- ness that t>comes of slovenliness strikes to the bone and into it.
 The Birmingham district owes much of the content that has marked it's career the past few years to the neatness, the nifti- ness and the cleanliness the tidiness of places where men work.
 When all Birmingham loves tidiness.
