to go without, but at the very last
three musicians offered their services

the three of them and gives them a
vote of real thanks for the assistance

Friday evening, Jan. , is to be the

be present and help elect the officers
that will hold office for the next year.
Much enthusiasm is being displayed
in the coming event on January 9.
At this time a basket supper will be
held in the X p. Hall and the baskets
sold at auction to hungry bidders. The

Harold. secretary manager of the Civic association, and Dr. Courtney W. Shropshire president of the Civitan club, made on their return from Washington yesterday after more than an hours conference with Otto Praeger, second assistant postmaster gem eral.
 It was ascertained by the Birmingham representatives that no additional action of Congress will be needed if 1t can be proven that the mail to be moved py plane will actually be of sufficient vol. ume to dsplace railway car space ana warrant the estimated saving. The post office department has authority to estab- fish the air service wherever it will not cost more than the service now being rendered along the particular route py railroad transportation.
 According to MT. Harold and Dr. Shrop- shire, Mir Praeger definitely promised to make an immediate investigation of tho facts presented in the briefs, maps ana charts of the civic bodies. This will be done in time to determine whether action will be taken during the existing ad- ministration,

 Dr. Robert Echols of the Birmingham district, presided over the meeting, which was opened with a prayer led by Dr. George R. Stuart, and voice selection lsympathetically rendered by Mrs. F. l.. Bissell, director of the choir at High lands church.
 THE ADDRESS
 Tn the introductory address, Bishop DuBose spoke eloqueptly of the mission of the church as a national, continental land a world influence.
 From the vantage ground of an op- hinist who halls from the expanse of the golden west, he approached the subject las one who views this age where prophecy and history meet as he has viewed the landscape of a continent from the top of Pikes Peak.
 In his forceful message the speaker en- phasized the fact that the thoughts of men are not as yesterday; that the map
