The Birmingham Lyceun1

llTOGWs more delightful and cultural
 TJ movements have been made in Birmingham than the plans of the Rirminrham Lyceum Association, tof which charming Mrs. Maurice Lenk is president.
 If has been commented on exten- s.velv that Birmingham in the days gone by has featured" the Magic City, perhaps too much as an indus trial center and too little as desirable city to live in from an educational and cultural standpoint, but no longer can this fault be found. for in every ave pue. music, drama education, Birming ham has taken an active leap into these affairs and the result is that the eyes of the world not only look upon this city as one of industrial activity. but also as a city of culture and re- finement.
 The Council of Jewish Women, com posed of many of Birmin gham's most cultured and beautifully educated wom- en, has initiated the Birmingham Ly ceum Association movement, and in choosing Mrs Maurice Lenk as presi- dent of the association excellent judg- ment and taste have been shown.
 No more lovely or charming woman lives in this community than Mrs. Lenk, her activities always being along the highest and most ideal lines of music. art and literature, and she deserves the cooperation and the appreciation of every one in Birmingham for the splendid efforts she has put forth in behalf of the lyceum association and her appealing personality and charm will undoubtedly be great factors in the success of the years work.
 In speaking of the mission of the Birmingham Lyceum Association yes- terday Mrs. Lenk said among other things:
 ''we are planning most pretentious programme for the Birmingham Ly- ceum Association. It has been several years since we have had a course of lectures and at this time the need is evident. We live in a changing world today. Never in the history of civiliza- ton have so many questions of na- tonal and international import arisen. Formerly a few lecturers, a few in- structors of modern ideas. progressive happenings sufficed to enlighten the country through the press and through talks. but today, so rapidly and So vividly are events moving, so tremen- dous is the upfleaval of governments, economies. of science, shaking the very foundations of civilization, the pillars upholding century old precedents. that it well behooves us to take note Of we would be abreast of the time.
 "A few years ago there was formed in New York city" said Mrs. Lenk, "an organization now known as The League of Political Education It was society for bringing to the notice of the interested public questions of the day. That organization. begun so mod : estly. is today putting up treme ndous building on Forty third street. and is supplying its members, who now num- Der into the thousands. two lectures daily by the most prominent men in public university life today. Our ob- ject here in Birmingham is to form such an association, for this year. next year and all time so that in the not so distant future when we build our audi tcrium there shall be separate niche set aside for the use of the

Birmingham I0coum Association, To that we can bring these lecturers from the eastern and western universities, these men from England and the other old world countries, forming ourselves into gigantic factor for education and culture in Birmingham. In doing this we may hope to raise the stigma of Alabama's iliteracy and help our state to be placed where it is alpha vision has placed it matially aud un- perishably
 We have been fortunate in hav- ing Temple EmanuEl given us for the lectures Mrs. Lenk said.

Phillips and the public schools, Miss Hattie Morton of the Margaret Allen school and now the teachers and students all over the city who are interested in the vital ques- tions of the day.
 'Oh John Cowper Powys." Mrs. Lenk continued. "who will open the season for the Birmingham Lyceum Associa- ton, l might say en passant, that this distinguished English lecturer and au- tbor came to America for the first time in 1905 as university exten- sion lecturer with the record ass tho most successful lecturer on literature and art of the Oxford, Cambridge and London University extension systems Since then his fame has spread from coast to coast and it is not by the lim- ited connotation of the term University Extension Lecturer we know MT. Powys but as the most celebrated lec- turer on literature in the world. write this without a blush because l have listened to most of the best lee turers in England and America during the past fifteen years and in the same period I have heard MT. Powys almost 800 times in Oxford England; New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere. Mir rowys has not yet bored me though I have heard such favorite lectures as those on Dostoievsky, Goethe, Dickens, Keats, Shelley, Thomas Hardy. Chester ton Shaw and Walt Whitman ten or more times each. What is his secret? First of all, the magnetism of his per sonality: secondly, his amazing power of identifying himself body and soul with the matter under discussion thirdly. his remarkable power of ex- pression and his ability to lecture bril- liantly at moments notice on almost any literature subject: fourthly, his ihveterate reading of ancient and mod ern literature and his clairvoyant dis crimination between the great and the mediocre; lastly, his originality. which sEeds a new light on every subject he treats, and his faculty for stimulating

 Debate today was confined entirely to the training schemes.

He saw the mans face was concealed by a hand kerchief. He ordered his daughter. who was driving the car, to put on full speed and reached for his revolver, but before he could fire the robber fired twice, neither shot taking effect. Jones then fired one shot but did not wait to see if it hit the mark. It was not until about 20 hours later that he learned the robber had been seriously wounded.

TIME HALF GONE;
 LESS THAN HALF
 S200,00O RAISED
Teams Soliciting the Sale of Bonds to Build New Elks Home Enter Last Week of Campaign Determined to Win

The first half of the campaign of the local lodge of Elks to raise S200,- 900 with which to begin the building of a new home was closed last night with less than one-half of the $20O,- 900 raised, according to an announce ment made by the head of the finance committee. But the committee is not discouraged It was impressed upon the members of the teams who are out after the necessary amount that the week to come is to be the big end of the campaign, and every one was inn bued with the idea that the money must be raised.
 The campaign is bearing fruit in several instances from unexpected sources. Many checks have been re- ceived from outside sources. and in one instance a member of another lodge learned of the campaign through the papers and sent in check for $500.
 The first receipt for d bond for s1.000 was issued yesterday to N. Friedman, who received a receipt for bond No. l. Several other subscrip- tions have been paid in full.
 Rivalry Among Teams
 The coming week will be one of constant effort on the part of the, rivalry has arisen between the mem bers of the teams as to which will raise the greatest amount of money, and the fight is being carried on to the greater benefit of the building fund.
 c. w. Crane, chairman of the fi- nance committee, stated last night that he already had started negotiations for selling the first mortgage bonds He stated that several financial concerns had been approached and negotiations are under way to float the first mort gage bonds.
 He also announced that about 5 architects have entered the competi- tion for drawing the plans. The con- test will close on the first of May and shortly afterward the winner will be The building of the new Elks home is practically an assured fact. Although the money for the ini- tial bond issue of s200000 has not been raised as yet, there is a week left in which to do it, and it is the intention of the committee to make it a success.

 TRAINING PROVISION IN
 SENATE'S MEASURE.
Republican A. p. Leased wIreJ

WASHINGTON, April S.-Facing certain defeat, senate supporters of compulsory universal military training today retreated from pressing the adoption of their plan of four months training of all youths as part of the army reorganization bill. With this change of front advocates of trainiag shifted their tactics in an effort to ob- tain acceptance of 9 system of volun- tary training.
 It is expected that a vote will be taken on the voluntary training substi- tute tomorrow. There will be no direct vote on the compulsory plan, if the voluntary plan is adopted.
 Supporters of the compulsory train ing feature expressed the opinion to- day that it was the virtual wreck of the entire measure Senator Wads- worth. republican of New York, in charge of the bill, said provision for reducing the regular army to 210.0OO men within the next five years would not be practicable with compulsory training rejected.
