Schools Urged to
 Celebrate Centennial.

l A LABAMA has romantic and SA stirring history, yet little has been done to celebrate the states one hundredth anniversary as state, which occurred on the 14th of De- lcember. The centenary commis- sion created by the legislature pro !vided for the marking of the sites of the early capitals, but small in- terest has been shown by the schools and colleges in the matter of fitting exercises in connection with the his- toric occasion. Pageants, such as had been suggested, not being feas- ible in winter weather, it is expected that several affairs of this kind will lbe arranged for the spring or early summer.
 l Surley every school in the state, both public and private, should ob- serve the centennial in some form. Dr. Thomas M Owen, director of the department of archives and history, and director of the patriotic work undertaken by the commission, is es- ipecially interested in the part the educational institutions are expected to take in the celebration. Under the caption of "Plays and Fairgrounds, i" he announces:
 One of the forms of observance pre-
 pared especially for use in the colleges
 and grade schools of the state is a H series of history plays that may be
 produced either indoors or upon a
 school playground or lawn. These
 plays have been written by Marie
 Bankhead Owen, who has for num-
 Der of years made study of dramatic
 construction and has vitalized in this
 form five of the main periods of the
 states history. Each of these five
 periods has been written into plays for
 both adult and juvenile students,
 such having distinct and separate
 action and dialogue. The first coming
 of the white man to the land now em-
 braced in the bounds of Alabama is told in a senior play called The Bat
 tie of Maubilla." The juvenile form of
 this period is "DeSoto and the In-
 dians.' The story of the first perma-
 nent colonization in Alabama is told
 in ",At Old Mobile and for the chill
 dren in How Bienville Saved Mobile"
 The territorial period is presented in four-scene, one-act play entitled, Alabama, or the Making of State The junior form of this vital period of
 our history is prepared for the children in one-scene play called How Ala
 bama Became State" The two other
 periods of dramatized history are the
 Confederate period. and finally the in dustrial. representing our own times. These plays have been written for Ithe commission and are now ready flor distribution to the schools free oi tcharge. II we can nave nothing : lspectacular or imposing, there should be at least general observance in the schoolhouses throughout the state, . Let us not grow indifferent to our past

Etiquette of inc Streets.

There were some who complained when they were prohibited from cutting cor ners in the downtown section" said Thornton Estes. Later Boy Scouts gave a demonstration on the proper way to walk along the sidewalks without being jostled, but now that pedestrians are be- ing instructed by policemen in order kat they may safely pass from one sideWNK to another and not cause confusion to the
 motorists, it would seem that the aver age man, woman and child would be up on the etiquette of conduct proper on our thoroughfares in regard to the art Of getting about without discommoding one another or hindering traffic"

CalebS Lost But Mac Wins Undying
 Fame in Game

{ Although the Calebs of the First ! Baptist church lost the baseball game yesterday afternoon at Ath- letic field by a score of 10 to 5, In favor of the mems Bible class of the Lakeside Methodist church, the de- feated members of the team are re- joicing. One of the utility players on the team has already won undying fame.
 Yesterday afternoon, while on the field in uniform, Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBurnett was handed a "tele- gram" by Western Union messen- ger boy. The deputy opened the telegram casually. "Wire your price to play left field with Little Rock team, it ran. The message was signed "kid" Norman Elberfield, manager of the Little Rock baseball team. Mac" has not replied to the telegram, because the Calebs do not want to lose him..
 Features of the grand spectacle in the arena of Athletic field yester- day afternoon were Carnahan, whirl- CT and sawyer; Wright, third base de luxe; and Reynolds, the raring boy who pitched for the Lakesiders
 The Methodist team has been prac- Using a good deal, it is said, so they walked away with the game. Garland Brewster, Rev. John H. Moore ana Umpire Fucker were other stars.
